Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of palm leaf preservation technology, and in particular to a palm leaf processing and preservation device. Background Technology

[0002] Palm-leaf manuscripts, written on palm leaves, were a form of literature widely used in South and Southeast Asia before the widespread use of paper. There were two methods of writing palm-leaf manuscripts: writing and engraving. Writing involved using a brush (such as a calligraphy brush, bamboo brush, or reed) dipped in ink to write directly on the surface of the palm leaf. Engraving involved first using a stylus to carve marks on the surface of the palm leaf, then applying ink and pigment to make the writing visible, and finally wiping away excess ink with water, rice bran, or hot sand.

[0003] Due to their inherent biological characteristics and external environmental factors, palm-leaf manuscripts stored for extended periods will deteriorate to varying degrees, primarily affecting the palm leaf carrier, ink, and pigments. Damage manifests in various forms, including insect infestation, mold, contamination, discoloration, acidification, ink and pigment flaking and fading, decay, and mechanical damage. Deteriorated palm-leaf manuscripts are brittle and easily broken. Ink on palm-leaf manuscripts often suffers from pigment fading due to external friction, water immersion, and oil immersion during long-term storage, leading to blurred characters and impairing readability. Furthermore, ink pigments can spread and bleed, causing the characters to become blurred, severely impacting the identification and reading of important ancient texts. Therefore, reinforcing ancient palm-leaf manuscripts with ink residue is crucial.

[0004] To reinforce and protect the palm leaf scriptures, a protective coating needs to be applied to the surface of the scriptures to form a protective film. This process requires heating and drying the palm leaf scriptures to ensure that the protective coating is completely cured inside and out. However, using conventional heating and drying equipment can easily damage the fragile palm leaf scriptures. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a device for processing and preserving palm leaves, addressing the current state of the technology. This device can ensure that the protective coating can be completely cured into a film without damaging the palm leaves, effectively reducing the risk of damage to the palm leaves during the processing and providing good protection for the palm leaves.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0026] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments:

[0027] Please see Figures 1 to 3 As shown, this utility model provides a device for processing and preserving palm leaves, including a main body 1. The main body 1 includes a cavity and a partition 13. The partition 13 divides the cavity into an equipment cavity 11 and a processing cavity 12.

[0028] The equipment chamber 11 is equipped with a drying mechanism 2, which includes a circulating fan 21 and a heat exchanger 22. A partition 13 has an air inlet 131 and an air outlet 132. The air inlet 131 is connected to the processing chamber 12, and an air intake channel is formed between the air inlet 131 and the air inlet of the circulating fan 21. The heat exchanger 22 is located within the air intake channel. The air outlet 132 is connected to both the air outlet of the circulating fan 21 and the processing chamber 12.

[0029] The bottom of the processing chamber 12 is covered with a heating mat 3, and the processing chamber 12 is also connected to a storage and protection mechanism 4 that can deliver inert gas into the processing chamber 12 and an exhaust mechanism 5 for discharging gas from the processing chamber 12.

[0030] In use, the shell with the protective coating is placed into the processing chamber 12 of this device, and then the heating pad 3 begins to gradually heat up. The heating method of the heating pad 3 can make the processing chamber 12 heat up evenly, thereby slowly and evenly heating the shell, so that the protective coating inside and on the surface of the shell can be heated up synchronously. Simultaneously, the drying mechanism 2 is activated. Under the action of the circulating fan 21, the high-humidity air in the processing chamber 12 enters the drying mechanism 2 through the air inlet 131, and then is dried by the heat exchanger 22 before being sent to the air outlet 132 by the circulating fan 21. The air then enters the processing chamber 12 through the air outlet 132, forming a circulating airflow. The heating mat 3 can evenly heat the circulating airflow. The two work together to improve the uniformity of temperature distribution inside the processing chamber 12 and enhance the moisture-carrying capacity of the circulating airflow. Thus, through the cooperation between the drying mechanism 2 and the heating mat 3, the moisture and solvents inside and outside the protective coating of the palm leaf are gradually evaporated and evenly heated, allowing the protective coating of the palm leaf to be completely cured into a film. After the palm leaf is heated and dried, inert gas is supplied to the processing chamber 12 through the storage protection mechanism 4, and the air in the processing chamber 12 is discharged through the exhaust mechanism 5. The inert gas replaces the air inside the processing chamber 12, protecting the reinforced palm leaf and preventing it from being oxidized during storage.

[0031] In this invention, through the cooperation of the heating mat 3, the drying mechanism 2, the storage and protection mechanism 4, and the exhaust mechanism 5, the palm leaf can be slowly and evenly heated, gradually evaporating the moisture and solvents inside and outside the protective coating of the palm leaf, and then being heated evenly so that the protective coating inside and outside the palm leaf can be completely cured into a film. The treated palm leaf is then stored in an inert gas environment, thereby ensuring that the protective coating can be completely cured into a film without damaging the palm leaf, effectively reducing the risk of damage to the palm leaf during the processing, and providing good protection for the palm leaf.

[0032] Preferably, the top of the processing chamber 12 is provided with a movable cover plate 14, the air outlet 132 is located above the air inlet 131, the air outlet 132 is directed toward the movable cover plate 14, and is inclined upward from the equipment chamber 11 toward the processing chamber 12.

[0033] The air before being processed by the drying mechanism 2 has a high moisture content and will accumulate in the lower part of the processing chamber 12. Therefore, placing the air inlet 131 below the air outlet 132 can improve the drying efficiency. Secondly, the air outlet 132 is oriented towards the movable cover plate 14 and is inclined upward from the equipment chamber 11 towards the processing chamber 12. This allows the airflow after heating and drying to flow from the air outlet 132 to the processing chamber 12. The airflow path is first blown obliquely upward towards the movable cover plate 14, then abuts against the movable cover plate 14, and then disperses in the opposite direction, flowing downward towards the movable cover plate 14 and acting on the palm leaf. This can prevent the airflow from directly impacting the palm leaf and causing damage to it.

[0034] Among them, see Figure 1 As shown, the movable cover plate 14 is equipped with a sterilizer 6 and an illumination device. The sterilizer 6 is used to sterilize the palm leaf to prevent bacteria from damaging the palm leaf. The illumination device makes it easy to observe the current condition of the palm leaf.

[0035] In this embodiment, the sterilizer 6 may be an ultraviolet lamp and / or an ozone sterilization component, but is not limited to these.

[0036] Among them, see Figure 5 As shown, the movable cover 14 is a flip cover, which can be used to take out and put in the palm leaf.

[0037] In one embodiment, at least one sidewall of the processing cavity 12 may be made of a transparent material to facilitate observation of the internal palm leaf scriptures.

[0038] In one embodiment, a monitor is also provided in the processing cavity 12 to facilitate observation of the current status of the internal palm leaf scriptures.

[0039] In one embodiment, see Figure 3 As shown, the surface of the main body 1 is provided with a control panel 15 for easy control operation.

[0040] The drying unit 2 is also equipped with a compressor 23 and a water receiving tank 24. The water receiving tank 24 is located on the heat exchanger 22 and is connected to a water outlet to facilitate the timely discharge of condensate from the heat exchanger 22 and improve drying efficiency.

[0041] Among them, see Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4As shown, the drying mechanism 2 includes a housing 25, a circulating fan 21, a heat exchanger 22, and an air inlet channel disposed inside the housing 25. The air inlet channel includes a first air inlet channel and a second air inlet channel. The first air inlet channel is disposed between the air inlet 131 and the heat exchanger 22, and the second air inlet channel is disposed between the heat exchanger 22 and the air inlet of the circulating fan 21. The housing 25 is also provided with an air outlet channel, which is disposed between the air outlet of the circulating fan 21 and the air outlet 132.

[0042] During the heating and drying process, the air in the processing chamber 12 enters the first air intake channel through the air inlet 131, is then processed by the heat exchanger 22, enters the second air intake channel, and then flows to the air outlet 132 via the circulating fan 21 before re-entering the processing chamber 12.

[0043] Among them, see Figure 2 As shown, a filter 7 is also provided between the air inlet 131 and the heat exchanger 22. The filter 7 filters out dust and foreign objects in the airflow to prevent foreign objects from entering the drying mechanism 2 and to ensure smooth airflow.

[0044] Among them, the heating mat 3 is equipped with a heat insulation pad for placing the palm leaf scripture. The heat insulation pad can prevent the heating mat 3 from directly acting on the palm leaf scripture, causing uneven heating of the palm leaf scripture, resulting in problems such as brittleness of the palm leaf scripture and incomplete curing of the surface film layer.

[0045] Among them, see Figures 3 to 4 As shown, the processing chamber 12 is also equipped with an oxygen sensor 81 for monitoring its internal oxygen content, a humidity sensor 82 for monitoring its internal humidity, and a temperature sensor 83 for monitoring its internal temperature.

[0046] Temperature sensor 83 and humidity sensor 82 are used to monitor the temperature and humidity in the processing chamber 12 in real time, so that timely adjustments can be made according to the temperature and humidity conditions, and the opening and closing of the heating mat 3, the drying mechanism 2 and other related operating parameters can be controlled to improve the processing effect and reduce the risk of damage to the palm leaves during the processing.

[0047] During the process of introducing inert gas into the storage protection mechanism 4 and simultaneously expelling air from the processing chamber 12 through the exhaust mechanism 5, the oxygen content inside the processing chamber 12 is monitored by the oxygen sensor 81 to ensure that the air inside the processing chamber 12 can be expelled so that the palm leaf can be preserved in an inert gas environment to avoid oxidation of the palm leaf during preservation, and to avoid introducing too much inert gas, which would cause unnecessary waste.

[0048] Among them, see Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, the partition 13 is provided with an inert gas inlet 133 that connects to the processing chamber 12. The end of the processing chamber 12 away from the inert gas inlet 133 is provided with an exhaust port 121. The exhaust port 121 is connected to an exhaust mechanism 5 for discharging the gas in the processing chamber 12. The exhaust mechanism 5 includes a pressure reducing valve.

[0049] The exhaust port 121 and the inert gas inlet 133 are respectively located at both ends of the processing chamber 12, so that as little inert gas as possible is discharged by the exhaust mechanism 5 during the process of replacing air with inert gas, and the air is discharged as quickly as possible.

[0050] Among them, see Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, a pressure sensor 84 is also provided in the processing chamber 12 to monitor its internal pressure, so as to avoid excessive pressure in the processing chamber 12 from damaging the palm leaf.

[0051] Among them, see Figure 1 As shown, the storage protection mechanism 4 includes a gas supply source 41 and an inert gas delivery pipeline. The inert gas delivery pipeline is connected to the gas supply source 41 and the processing chamber 12 respectively, and a control valve is provided on the inert gas delivery pipeline. The inert gas is delivered from the gas supply source 41 to the inert gas inlet 133 through the inert gas delivery pipeline, and then enters the processing chamber 12 through the inert gas inlet 133.

[0052] Of course, the above illustrations are only preferred embodiments of this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of application of this utility model. Therefore, any equivalent changes made to the principle of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
