[0002] Plastic toys are a type of toy and are more suitable for young children compared to toys made of other materials. During the production and processing of plastic toys, it is necessary to clean and dry the toys, which is crucial for ensuring the quality and appearance of the toys.

[0003] The existing equipment has the following disadvantages: After the toys are cleaned, there will be a certain amount of moisture adhering to the end faces of the toys. When the air flow blown by the dryer impacts the moisture adhering to the end faces of the toys, it will drive the water flow to fall onto the end face of the conveyor belt, resulting in the bottom of the toy coming into contact with the moisture on the conveyor belt end face, causing the bottom of the toy to still be adhered with moisture after drying, which affects the drying efficiency of the toys.

[0004] Therefore, the present application now proposes a circulating drying tunnel for toy production to solve the above problems. Content of the Utility Model

[0005] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a circulating drying tunnel for toy production to solve the problem that the water flow falls onto the end face of the conveyor belt, resulting in the bottom of the toy coming into contact with the moisture on the conveyor belt end face, causing the bottom of the toy to still be adhered with moisture after drying, which affects the drying efficiency of the toys.

[0006] To achieve the above purpose, the utility model provides the following technical solution: A circulating drying tunnel for toy production, including a conveying unit for conveying toys and a drying unit arranged above the conveying unit for drying toys, and further including:

[0007] An air drying unit, arranged on one side of the drying unit and located at the feeding port of the conveying unit, for air drying the toys;

[0008] A diversion device, arranged on the conveying unit and located below the air drying unit, for diverting the water source blown off the toys;

[0009] A water collecting tank, arranged on the conveying unit and located below the diversion device, for collecting the water source.

[0010] Wherein, the conveying unit includes a mounting frame, a motor arranged on one side of the mounting frame, a rotating shaft fixed to the power output end of the motor and passing through the mounting frame, a support roller arranged on the rotating shaft and rotatably arranged inside the mounting frame, and a conveying member arranged on the support roller. A fixing frame is arranged at the position of the mounting frame below the drying unit.

[0011] Among them, the conveying member includes a gear belt sleeved on the supporting roller and a gear sleeved on the supporting roller, and the gear belt is meshed and connected with the gear.

[0012] Among them, the guiding device is a guide roller fixed to the inner side of the mounting frame. The guide roller is located below the air drying unit and the installation position is higher than the installation position of the supporting roller.

[0013] Among them, the air drying unit includes a connection box fixed to one side of the drying unit, a ventilation pipe arranged at the upper end of the connection box and connected to the drying unit, and a fan arranged at the lower end of the connection box for blowing air to one side of the guide roller.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present utility model are as follows:

[0016] 1. In the present utility model, the toys that need to be dried after cleaning are placed at the feeding port of the conveying unit, and then the power component on the conveying unit is started to convey the toys. When the toys are transported to the position of the guiding device, the air drying unit blows hot air onto the guiding device, which can blow the moisture on the toys to the side away from the feeding port of the conveying unit. Then, under the drive of the air flow, the moisture can flow to the side of the water collecting tank and then flow into the interior of the water collecting tank for collection. The toys with a small amount of residual moisture enter the interior of the drying unit for full drying. Since a large amount of moisture adheres to the toys just after cleaning, by setting the guiding device and the air drying unit at the feeding port of the conveying unit to clean the moisture on the toys, most of the moisture on the toys can be removed, which is convenient for subsequent drying work. By setting this device, the continuity and automation in the toy production process are realized, thereby improving the production efficiency. At the same time, since the toys are dried after air drying, they can reach the ideal drying state more quickly, which also helps to improve the final quality of the products and improve the production and processing efficiency of the toys.

[0017] 2. The present utility model fixes the guide roller below the air-drying unit, so that the gear belt is lifted when passing through the guide roller, and the side of the gear belt towards the air-drying unit is raised. When the air-drying unit blows air towards one side of the guide roller, the air flow can flow downward along the inclined direction of the gear belt, and then blow the moisture attached to the upper end of the gear belt downward, and then flow into the inside of the water collection tank for collection, reducing the adhesion of moisture to the gear belt and affecting the drying efficiency of the toy. By setting the diversion device and the water collection tank, the water droplets blown off during the air-drying process of the toy are effectively collected. These water sources can be reused after appropriate treatment, not only saving water resources, but also reducing the impact of wastewater discharge on the environment.

[0026] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present utility model with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present utility model, rather than all the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0027] Please refer to Figures 1-7 , the present utility model provides a technical solution: a circulating drying tunnel for toy production, including a conveying unit 1 for conveying toys and a drying unit 2 arranged at the upper end of the conveying unit 1 for drying toys, and further including:

[0028] An air drying unit 3, arranged on one side of the drying unit 2 and located at the feeding port of the conveying unit 1, for air drying the toys;

[0029] A diversion device, arranged on the conveying unit 1 and located below the air drying unit 3, for diverting the water source blown off from the toys;

[0030] A water collecting tank 4, arranged on the conveying unit 1 and located below the diversion device, for collecting the water source.

[0031] It should be noted that during operation, the toys that need to be dried after cleaning are placed at the feeding port of the conveying unit 1, and then the power components on the conveying unit 1 are started to convey the toys. When the toys are transported to the position of the diversion device, the air drying unit 3 blows hot air onto the diversion device, which can blow the moisture on the toys to the side away from the feeding port of the conveying unit 1. Then, under the drive of the air flow, the moisture can flow to the side of the water collecting tank 4 and then flow into the interior of the water collecting tank 4 for collection. The toys with a small amount of residual moisture enter the interior of the drying unit 2 for full drying. Since the toys just after cleaning are attached with a large amount of moisture, by setting a diversion device and an air drying unit 3 at the feeding port of the conveying unit to clean the moisture on the toys, most of the moisture on the toys can be removed, which is convenient for subsequent drying work. By setting this device, the continuity and automation in the toy production process are realized, thereby improving the production efficiency. At the same time, since the toys are dried after air drying, they can reach the ideal drying state more quickly, which also helps to improve the final quality of the products and improve the production and processing efficiency of the toys.

[0032] In one embodiment, the conveying unit 1 includes a mounting frame 11, a motor 12 disposed on one side of the mounting frame 11, a rotating shaft 13 fixed to the power output end of the motor 12 and passing through the mounting frame 11, a support roller 14 disposed on the rotating shaft 13 and rotatably disposed inside the mounting frame 11, and a conveying member disposed on the support roller 14. A fixing frame 18 is provided at a position of the mounting frame 11 below the drying unit 2, and a feeding plate 111 is provided on one side of the feeding port of the mounting frame 11.

[0033] With this design, referring to Figures 1-7 , when the motor 12 is started, it drives the rotating shaft 13 to drive the support roller 14 to rotate. Then, the support roller 14 drives the conveying member to move. First, the toy is placed on the feeding plate 111, and then pushed onto the conveying member. The conveying member transports the toy to the air-drying unit 3 for air-drying first, drying most of the moisture, and then enters the drying unit 2 for heating and drying, so that the toy can be fully dried. Moreover, this drying device can continuously dry the toys, improving the production efficiency.

[0034] In one embodiment, the conveying member includes a gear belt 16 sleeved on the support roller 14 and a gear 15 sleeved on the support roller 14, and the gear belt 16 is meshed with the gear 15.

[0035] With this design, referring to Figure 7 , the gears 15 are fixed on both sides of the support roller 14. During the rotation of the support roller 14 driving the gears 15, the gears 15 are meshed with the teeth inside the gear belt 16, thereby driving the gear belt 16 to rotate on the support roller 14, enabling the gear belt 16 to convey the toy, making the overall conveying member more stable, reducing wear and failure rates during operation, and improving the stability and service life of the equipment.

[0036] In one embodiment, the guiding device is a guide roller 17 fixed inside the mounting frame 11. The guide roller 17 is located below the air-drying unit 3 and its installation position is higher than that of the support roller 14.

[0037] With this design, referring to Figures 4-6 , the guide roller 17 is fixed below the air-drying unit 3, so that the gear belt 16 is lifted when passing through the guide roller 17, and the gear belt 16 is raised towards one side of the air-drying unit 3. When the air-drying unit 3 blows air towards one side of the guide roller 17, the air flow can flow downward along the inclined direction of the gear belt 16, and then blow the moisture attached to the upper end of the gear belt 16 downward, and then flow into the inside of the water collection tank 4 for collection, reducing the adhesion of moisture to the gear belt 16 and affecting the drying efficiency of the toy. By setting the guiding device and the water collection tank 4, the water droplets blown off during the air-drying of the toy are effectively collected. These water sources can be reused after appropriate treatment, not only saving water resources but also reducing the environmental impact of wastewater discharge.

[0038] In one embodiment, the air-drying unit 3 includes a connection box 32 fixed to one side of the drying unit 2, a ventilation pipe 31 disposed at the upper end of the connection box 32 and connected to the drying unit 2, and a fan 33 disposed at the lower end of the connection box 32 for blowing air toward one side of the guide roller 17. The fan 33 is obliquely fixed at the air outlet of the connection box 32.

[0039] With such a design, referring to Figure 5 , when the power element on the fan 33 is turned on to drive the fan 33 to rotate, and the connection box 32 is communicated with the drying unit 2 through the ventilation pipe 31, the fan 33 can blow hot air onto the toy, further improving the drying efficiency of the toy. The inclination angle of the fan 33 is the same as the angle at which the gear belt 16 is lifted, facilitating the fan 33 to blow the moisture on the gear belt 16 off, realizing the reuse of thermal energy, reducing the energy consumption in the production process, and conforming to the production concept of green environmental protection.

[0040] In one embodiment, the drying unit 2 includes an installation box 21 fixed to one side of the middle part of the installation frame 11, a drying box 27 erected at the middle part of the upper end of the installation frame 11, a first drying hood 28 fixed to the upper end of the installation frame 11 and located on one side of the drying box 27, a second drying hood 29 fixed to the upper end of the installation frame 11 and located on the other side of the drying box 27, a hot air blower 22 fixed to the upper end of the installation box 21, an air inlet pipe 23 disposed on the hot air blower 22, a connection pipeline 24 disposed at the upper end of the drying box 27 and connected to the air inlet pipe 23 for shunting, a first connection pipe 25 disposed at the lower end of the connection pipeline 24 and communicated with the first drying hood 28, and a second connection pipe 26 disposed at the lower end of the connection pipeline 24 and communicated with the second drying hood 29. The ventilation pipe 31 is communicated with the connection pipeline 24.

[0041] With such a design, referring to Figure 4 , when the hot air blower 22 is turned on, hot air is blown into the interior of the connection pipeline 24 through the air inlet pipe 23, and then the hot air is blown into the interiors of the first drying hood 28 and the second drying hood 29 through the first connection pipe 25 and the second connection pipe 26 to heat and dry the toys on the gear belt 16 inside the first drying hood 28, the second drying hood 29, and the drying box 27. Then the toys are transported to the other end of the installation frame 11 and collected. The automation degree of the whole system is high, reducing the need for manual intervention, thereby reducing the operation difficulty and labor intensity.

[0042] In addition, if there are descriptions involving "first", "second", etc. in the embodiment, such descriptions of "first", "second", etc. are only for descriptive purposes and cannot be construed as indicating or implying their relative importance to the specification or implicitly indicating the quantity of the indicated technical features. Thus, the features defined with "first", "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one such feature.
