Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of dryers, and more specifically to a sealing structure of a dryer. Background Art
[0002] When using an air compressor to produce compressed air, water is usually generated simultaneously. Therefore, the compressed air output by the air compressor needs to be dried by a dryer. The existing modular dryer usually includes a plurality of cross-shaped tubes filled with desiccant and cavity seats connecting the upper and lower ends of the cross-shaped tubes. Compressed air enters one end of the cavity seat, flows through the cross-shaped tubes to be dried, and then is output from the other end of the cavity seat. The cavity seat needs to be closed by a cover plate. In order to improve the sealing performance, some dryers are provided with a sealing ring between the cover plate and the cavity seat. Such sealing rings usually have a relatively simple structure, and there is no specific structure for the sealing ring to be connected and cooperated with the cavity seat. Instead, it is clamped and fixed between the cover plate and the cavity seat, and is made of silicone material, which is prone to loosening or deformation. When the dryer is working, a large-pressure airflow will be generated in the cavity seat. Therefore, using a sealing ring with insufficient installation stability for sealing is likely to cause air leakage, and the dryer needs to be frequently maintained or the sealing ring needs to be replaced.

[0024] A sealing structure of a dryer, please refer to Figures 1-5, including a dryer for drying compressed air. Water is generated during the production of compressed air, so it needs to be dried by the dryer. The dryer in this embodiment is a 0.8 - 1.6 MPa modular dryer. The dryer is provided with a plurality of cross-shaped tubes 100 filled with desiccant. The cross-shaped tubes 100 are of hollow structure and filled with desiccant inside. The upper and lower ends of the cross-shaped tubes 100 are respectively connected to cavity seats 200. The cross-shaped tubes 100 are distributed in two columns, and the upper and lower ends of each column of cross-shaped tubes 100 are respectively connected to the same cavity seat 200. Compressed air enters the cavity seat 200 through the ventilation component connected to one end of the cavity seat 200. The air is injected into the cavity seat 200 under high pressure and then passes through the cross-shaped tubes 100 to achieve the drying process. Finally, it is output from the dryer through the cavity seat 200 at the other end to complete the drying of the compressed air. The cavity seat 200 is of hollow structure, and compressed air can flow inside it. Cavity openings 210 are formed at the front and rear ends of the cavity seat 200. A sealing ring 300 is clamped on the cavity seat 200 at the position of the cavity openings 210. A cover plate 400 that connects to the cavity seat 200 and closes the cavity openings 210 is provided outside the sealing ring. The sealing ring 300 is located between the cavity openings 210 and the cover plate 400 to make the two sealed and connected, preventing compressed air from leaking at the connection position between the cover plate 400 and the cavity seat 200; on both sides of one end of the cavity seat 200 close to the cross-shaped tubes 100, there are outwardly extending outer eaves 220. The cavity seat 200 is connected to the cross-shaped tubes 100 through the outer eaves 220. The sealing ring 300 is provided with a bayonet 310 that cooperates with the outer eaves 220. The structure of the bayonet 310 enables the sealing ring 300 to be inserted into the cavity openings 210 without being blocked by the outer eaves 220, and at the same time plays a positioning role, facilitating the installation of the sealing ring 300.
[0025] Furthermore, on the side of the sealing ring 300 close to the cavity seat 200, there is a fixing groove 320 that matches the shapes of the front and rear ends of the cavity seat 200. The sealing ring 300 is clamped on the cavity seat 200 through the fixing groove 320. On the side of the sealing ring close to the cavity seat 320, there are protruding outer convex parts 330 and inner convex parts 340. The fixing groove 320 is formed between the outer convex parts 330 and the inner convex parts 340. The shape of the outer convex parts 330 matches the outer structure of the cavity seat 200, and the inner convex parts 340 match the shape of the cavity openings 210 provided on the cavity seat 200. The bayonet 310 is formed on the outer convex parts 330. When the sealing ring 300 is installed, the inner convex parts 340 are inserted into the cavity openings 210, and the outer convex parts 330 are sleeved on the outside of the cavity seat 200, so that the end face of the cavity seat 200 is embedded into the fixing groove 320. The sealing ring 300 can wrap the end face of the cavity seat 200, which can effectively improve the connection stability between the sealing ring 300 and the cavity seat 200 and make the seal between the cavity seat 200 and the cover plate 400 better.
[0026] On one side of the sealing ring 300 close to the cover plate 400, there is a convex ring portion 350 whose shape matches that of the cavity opening 210. The convex ring portion 350 protrudes towards the side close to the cover plate 400. When the cover plate 400 is connected to the cavity seat 200, the convex ring portion 350 on the sealing ring 300 is pressed by the cover plate 400 to improve the sealing performance between the cover plate 400 and the sealing ring 300, and the sealing effect is good. There are 4 first connection holes 360 on the sealing ring 300. On the cavity seat 200, second connection holes 230 corresponding to the first connection holes 360 are provided around the cavity opening 210. The cover plate 400 is provided with third connection holes 410 corresponding to the first connection holes 360. After the first connection holes 360, the second connection holes 230, and the third connection holes 410 are aligned, screws are driven in to connect and fix the cover plate 400 and the cavity seat 200, and the sealing ring 300 is pressed and stably fixed between the cover plate 400 and the cavity seat 200.
[0027] Furthermore, there are multiple fourth connection holes 221 on the outer eaves portion 220. Multiple through holes 240 that can communicate with the cross-shaped tube 100 are provided at the bottom of the cavity seat 200. Compressed air flows into or out of the cross-shaped tube 100 through the through holes 240. The cavity seat 200 can be screwed to connect the cross-shaped tube 100 through the fourth connection holes 221. A sealing ring is provided between the cross-shaped tube 100 and the connection holes 221 to make the cross-shaped tube 100 and the cavity seat 200 be hermetically connected. The sealing ring 300 is made of nitrile rubber. Nitrile rubber has good tear resistance, enabling it to resist cracks and tears, and has strong wear resistance and heat resistance and other characteristics, which can effectively prevent the sealing ring 300 from loosening and displacement to ensure the sealing performance.
