[0019] The core of this utility model is to provide a towel drying machine that can improve the efficiency of towel drying and can recycle and reuse hot air.
[0020] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present utility model, and not all of them. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0021] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the terms "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", "middle", etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.
[0022] In one specific embodiment of this utility model, such as Figures 1-4 As shown, the device includes a drying chamber 1 with openings 101 at both ends for towels 3 to enter and exit. Two rows of rotating rollers 2 are mounted inside the drying chamber 1, spaced apart vertically. The towels 3 pass through multiple rotating rollers 2 in a serpentine pattern. Multiple air ducts 4 are mounted inside the drying chamber 1, parallel to the rotating rollers 2. The multiple air ducts 4 are arranged along the path through which the towels 3 pass and are located on both sides of the path. Air outlets 401 are opened on the circumferential sidewalls of the air ducts 4 facing the towels 3. A heating chamber assembly is mounted on the drying chamber 1, which is connected to one end of the air ducts 4. The device also includes an air circulation assembly, one end of which is connected to the drying chamber 1 and the other end of which is connected to the heating chamber assembly.
[0023] Specifically, the rotating roller 2 causes the towel 3 to pass through the drying chamber 1 in a serpentine pattern, extending its drying time. The air ducts 4 are located on both sides of the path through which the towel 3 passes, ensuring that both sides of the towel 3 are dried by hot air. Furthermore, the multiple air ducts 4 allow the towel 3 to undergo multiple drying cycles during transport, improving the drying efficiency and effectiveness. The air circulation component allows for the recycling of hot air.
[0024] The heating chamber assembly includes a chamber body 5 and a heating rod 6 disposed inside the chamber body 5. The chamber body 5 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the drying chamber 1, and one end of the air duct 4 extends into the inner cavity of the chamber body 5.
[0025] Specifically, the heating rod 6 is used to heat the air, which then enters the air duct 4. The hot air is discharged from the air outlet 401 and dries the towel 3.
[0026] The air circulation assembly includes a gas collection hood 7 and a fan 8. The gas collection hood 7 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the drying chamber 1 and is located on the side of the drying chamber 1 away from the chamber body 5. The drying chamber 1 has multiple air vents 102, which are connected to the inner cavity of the gas collection hood 7. The fan 8 is fixed to the top of the drying chamber 1. An air duct assembly is connected between the air inlet of the fan 8 and the gas collection hood 7, and a first flexible hose 9 is connected between the air outlet of the fan 8 and the chamber body 5.
[0027] Specifically, hot air enters the air collection hood 7 through the vent 102, then enters the fan 8 through the air duct assembly. The fan 8 outputs the hot air to the first hose 9, and then into the housing 5. The heating rod 6 reheats the hot air.
[0028] The air duct assembly includes an air-water separator 10. The air outlet of the air-water separator 10 is connected to the fan 8, and the air inlet of the air-water separator 10 is connected to one end of a second hose 11. The other end of the second hose 11 is connected to the air collection hood 7.
[0029] Specifically, the air-water separator 10 removes moisture from the hot air, and the moisture is discharged through the water valve 12 at the bottom of the air-water separator 10. This prevents moisture-laden air from re-entering the drying chamber 1, thus preventing moisture from affecting the drying efficiency and effect. The air-water separator 10 is supported on the drying chamber 1 by two pillars.
[0030] The working principle of the towel drying machine of this utility model is as follows: the setting of the rotating roller 2 makes the towel 3 pass through the drying box 1 in a serpentine shape, which prolongs the drying time in the drying box 1; the air duct 4 is on both sides of the path through which the towel 3 passes, so that both sides of the towel 3 can be dried by hot air. Moreover, there are multiple air ducts 4, so the towel 3 is dried multiple times during the conveying process, which improves the drying efficiency and effect of the towel 3.
[0031] Under the suction force of the fan 8, hot air enters the air collection hood 7 through the vent 102, and then enters the fan 8 through the air duct assembly. The fan 8 outputs the hot air to the first hose 9, and then into the housing 5. The heating rod 6 reheats the hot air. The air in the housing 5 enters the air duct 4 under the blowing force of the fan 8, and then is discharged from the air outlet 401 to dry the towel 3.
[0032] The air-water separator 10 removes moisture from the hot air, and the moisture is discharged through the water valve 12 at the bottom of the air-water separator 10. This prevents moisture-laden air from re-entering the drying chamber 1, thus preventing moisture from affecting the drying efficiency and effect.
[0033] The various embodiments in this specification are described in a progressive manner, with each embodiment focusing on its differences from other embodiments. Similar or identical parts between embodiments can be referred to interchangeably, and the embodiments can be combined with each other. For the apparatus disclosed in the embodiments, since it corresponds to the method disclosed in the embodiments, the description is relatively simple; relevant parts can be referred to in the method section.
