Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of air dryer technology, specifically to a dustproof structure for an air dryer. Background Technology

[0002] Refrigerated compressed air dryers utilize the principle of cooling and lowering the air temperature to condense and remove moisture from humid air, resulting in drier air. A refrigerated compressed air dryer includes a pre-cooler, heat exchanger, evaporator, air-water separator, and various pipelines. However, due to harsh working environments in some factories with high dust content, if this dust adheres to critical heat exchange components such as heat exchangers and evaporators, it will significantly affect their performance. For example, a large amount of dirt on the equipment surface will exacerbate local corrosion, easily leading to pitting and perforation. The overall heat transfer coefficient K of the heat exchanger decreases as the thermal resistance of the dirt increases. The more dust adheres, the worse the heat exchange capacity. If the evaporator's heat dissipation grille is blocked by dust, it will cause poor cooling effect and increased power consumption, among other problems. Therefore, we propose a dustproof structure for the air dryer to solve these problems. Utility Model Content

[0003] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides a dustproof structure for an air dryer, solving the problems mentioned in the background section.

[0004] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is: a dustproof structure for an air dryer, including a dryer body, a base fixedly connected to the bottom of the dryer body, an air inlet on the right outer wall of the dryer body, a T-shaped groove on the right side of the upper surface of the dryer body, a snap-fit ​​groove on the right side of the upper surface of the dryer body, a dustproof structure on the right side of the dryer body, and two hydraulic cylinders fixedly installed inside the right side of the dryer body, with a support plate fixedly connected to the output end of the hydraulic cylinders.

[0005] Furthermore, the dustproof structure includes a T-shaped slider, a dustproof frame, a rectangular hole, ventilation holes, a limiting groove, and an auxiliary structure. There are two T-shaped sliders, and the outer walls of the two T-shaped sliders are movably connected to the inside of the T-shaped groove. A dustproof frame is fixedly connected to one side of the outer wall of the T-shaped slider. A rectangular hole is opened on the left outer wall of the dustproof frame, and several ventilation holes are opened on the right outer wall of the dustproof frame. A limiting groove is opened at the bottom of the inner wall of the dustproof frame, and an auxiliary structure is provided inside the dustproof frame.

[0006] Furthermore, a limiting hole is formed on the upper surface of the T-shaped slider, a limiting plate is movably connected inside the limiting hole, and a handle is fixedly connected to the top of the limiting plate.

[0007] Furthermore, the auxiliary structure includes a dustproof plate, protrusions, a connecting plate, and an arc-shaped dustproof net. The outer wall of the dustproof plate is movably connected to the inside of the limiting groove. Protrusions are fixedly connected to the outer walls at both ends of the dustproof plate. A connecting plate is fixedly connected to the outer wall at the bottom end of the dustproof plate. An arc-shaped dustproof net is fixedly connected to the outer wall at one end of the connecting plate.

[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, the hydraulic cylinder drives the support plate to move towards the bottom of the connecting plate through the output end. In this way, the support plate can support the connecting plate, and at the same time, the arc-shaped dustproof net and dustproof plate achieve a double-layer dustproof effect.

[0009] Furthermore, the outer wall of the protrusion is movably connected to the inside of the limiting groove, one side of the outer wall of the arc-shaped dustproof net is in contact with the outer wall of the dustproof frame, the connecting plate is located at the bottom of the dustproof frame, and the bottom of the connecting plate is movably connected to the outer wall of the support plate.

[0010] Furthermore, the limiting plate is movably connected to the inside of the T-shaped slider through the limiting hole, and the two ends and the center of the limiting plate are movably connected to the inside of the dryer body through the snap-fit ​​groove.

[0011] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0012] 1. The dustproof structure of this air dryer ensures that when the dryer is working, the air enters through the air inlet at one end of the dryer body. Before entering the air inlet, the air is filtered by an arc-shaped dustproof net, a dustproof frame, and a dustproof plate. The dust-proof air then enters the interior of the dryer body through the air inlet for drying. The operation is simple and convenient.

[0013] 2. The dustproof structure of this air dryer, through the setting of T-slots, snap-fit ​​slots, limit holes, hydraulic cylinders and support plates, allows the dustproof frame to be movably installed in the T-slots opened on one side of the dryer body via two T-slot sliders, which facilitates the disassembly and installation of the dustproof frame; at the same time, by activating the hydraulic cylinder, the hydraulic cylinder drives the support plate to move through the output end, so that the surface of the support plate is separated from the bottom of the connecting plate, which facilitates the disassembly and replacement of the dustproof plate and the arc-shaped dustproof net.

[0022] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention.

[0023] Please see Figure 1-6 A dustproof structure for an air dryer includes a dryer body 1, a base 2 fixedly connected to the bottom of the dryer body 1, an air inlet 3 on the right outer wall of the dryer body 1, a T-slot 4 and a snap-fit ​​groove 5 on the right side of the upper surface of the dryer body 1, a dustproof structure 6 on the right side of the dryer body 1, and two hydraulic cylinders 7 fixedly installed inside the right side of the dryer body 1. A support plate 8 is fixedly connected to the output end of the hydraulic cylinders 7. Through the arrangement of the T-slot 4, snap-fit ​​groove 5, limiting hole 611, hydraulic cylinders 7, and support plate 8, a dustproof frame 62 is movably installed in the T-slot 4 on one side of the dryer body 1 via two T-slide blocks 61, facilitating the disassembly and installation of the dustproof frame 62. Simultaneously, by activating the hydraulic cylinders 7, the hydraulic cylinders 7 drive the support plate 8 to move through their output ends, causing the surface of the support plate 8 to move away from the bottom of the connecting plate 663, facilitating the disassembly and replacement of the dustproof plate 661 and the arc-shaped dustproof net 664.

[0024] The dustproof structure 6 includes a T-shaped slider 61, a dustproof frame 62, a rectangular hole 63, a ventilation hole 64, a limiting groove 65, and an auxiliary structure 66. There are two T-shaped sliders 61, and the outer walls of the two T-shaped sliders 61 are movably connected to the inside of the T-shaped groove 4. A dustproof frame 62 is fixedly connected to one side of the outer wall of the T-shaped slider 61. A rectangular hole 63 is opened on the left outer wall of the dustproof frame 62, and several ventilation holes 64 are opened on the right outer wall of the dustproof frame 62. A limiting groove 65 is opened at the bottom of the inner wall of the dustproof frame 62, and the auxiliary structure 66 is set inside the dustproof frame 62. With the dustproof structure 6, when the dryer body 1 is working, the air enters the dryer body 1 through the air inlet 3 at one end of the dryer body 1. Before the air enters the air inlet 3, it will pass through the arc-shaped dustproof net 664, the dustproof frame 62, and the dustproof plate 661 for dustproof filtration. The dustproof air then enters the interior of the dryer body 1 through the air inlet 3 for drying. The operation is simple and convenient.

[0025] The upper surface of the T-shaped slider 61 has a limiting hole 611, and the inside of the limiting hole 611 is movably connected to a limiting plate 612. The top of the limiting plate 612 is fixedly connected to a handle 613.

[0026] The auxiliary structure 66 includes a dustproof plate 661, a protrusion 662, a connecting plate 663, and an arc-shaped dustproof net 664. The outer wall of the dustproof plate 661 is movably connected to the inside of the limiting groove 65. The protrusions 662 are fixedly connected to the outer walls at both ends of the dustproof plate 661, and the connecting plate 663 is fixedly connected to the outer wall at the bottom end of the dustproof plate 661. The arc-shaped dustproof net 664 is fixedly connected to the outer wall at one end of the connecting plate 663. By adopting the above technical solution, the hydraulic cylinder 7 drives the support plate 8 to move towards the bottom of the connecting plate 663 through the output end. In this way, the support plate 8 can support the connecting plate 663. At the same time, the arc-shaped dustproof net 664 and the dustproof plate 661 provide a double-layer dustproof effect.

[0027] The outer wall of the protrusion 662 is movably connected to the inside of the limiting groove 65. One side of the outer wall of the arc-shaped dustproof net 664 is in contact with the outer wall of the dustproof frame 62. The connecting plate 663 is located at the bottom of the dustproof frame 62, and the bottom of the connecting plate 663 is movably connected to the outer wall of the support plate 8.

[0028] The limiting plate 612 is movably connected to the inside of the T-shaped slider 61 through the limiting hole 611, and the two ends and the center of the limiting plate 612 are movably connected to the inside of the dryer body 1 through the snap-fit ​​groove 5.

[0029] In use, the dustproof frame 62 is movably installed in the T-slot 4 on one side of the dryer body 1 via two T-slide blocks 61, thanks to the T-slot 4, snap-fit ​​groove 5, limiting hole 611, hydraulic cylinder 7, and support plate 8. This facilitates the disassembly and installation of the dustproof frame 62. Simultaneously, by activating the hydraulic cylinder 7, the hydraulic cylinder 7 drives the support plate 8 to move through its output end, causing the surface of the support plate 8 to move away from the bottom of the connecting plate 663. This facilitates the disassembly and replacement of the dustproof plate 661 and the arc-shaped dustproof net 664. When the dryer body 1 is working, air enters through the air inlet 3 at one end of the dryer body 1. Before entering the air inlet 3, the air is filtered for dust by passing through the arc-shaped dustproof net 664, the dustproof frame 62, and the dustproof plate 661. The filtered air then enters the interior of the dryer body 1 through the air inlet 3 for drying. The operation is simple and convenient.
