[0028] In order to describe this utility model in detail, the following is a specific description of a drying device according to this utility model:

[0029] Please combine Figure 1As shown, this utility model provides a drying device, including a fan 7 and a drying component 2. The drying component 2 has a receiving cavity and a placement position for placing components. The receiving cavity is connected to the fan 7, and the placement position is located within the receiving cavity and on the flow path of the air generated by the fan 7. The fan 7 is used to drive the components to move away from the placement position along a first direction. The placement position for placing components is located within the receiving cavity of the drying component 2, and the placement position is located on the flow path of the air generated by the fan 7. Thus, the fan 7 can blow the components away from the placement position along the first direction. During the movement of the components, accumulated water on the components can be shaken off. Simultaneously, because the components are blown by the fan 7, water accumulation when the components are stacked can be avoided, thus preventing watermarks from forming on the components during the drying process and affecting the final product yield. In this embodiment, the fan 7 is a hot air blower. The hot air blower can heat the airflow, causing the liquid on the components to evaporate faster, thereby reducing the drying time and improving the drying efficiency. The fan can control the inlet air temperature and airflow according to the shape and quantity of the components.

[0030] A flow pipe is provided between the fan 7 and the drying element 2, and the fan 7 and the drying element 2 are connected through the flow pipe. The flow pipe facilitates the connection between the fan 7 and the drying element 2.

[0031] Specifically, the flow channel has a bend 5. The channel between the bend 5 and the fan 7 is the first channel 6, and the channel between the bend 5 and the drying element 2 is the second channel 4. The second channel 4 extends along a first direction, and the first channel 6 extends along a second direction, which are perpendicular to each other. By setting the bend 5, liquid in the drying element 2 can be prevented from flowing into the fan 7 to a certain extent. In this embodiment, the first direction is the direction of gravity, and the second direction intersects with the first direction. Thus, the liquid in the drying element 2 flows through the second channel 4 to the first channel 6, instead of directly entering the fan 7, ensuring the normal operation and service life of the fan 7. In this embodiment, the first and second channels are perpendicular to each other to facilitate the placement of the fan 7.

[0032] In detail, a drainage pipe 8 is provided near the bend 5 of the first pipe 6. The drainage pipe 8 is connected to the flow pipe and is positioned opposite the second pipe 4 along the first direction. A switch valve 9 is provided on the drainage pipe 8 for opening and closing. By providing a drainage pipe 8 at the first pipe 6, liquid flowing into the first pipe 6 is discharged into the drainage pipe 8, preventing liquid from accumulating in the first pipe 6 and flowing into the fan 7, thus affecting the operation of the fan 7. By providing a switch valve 9 in the drainage pipe 8, the drainage of liquid in the drainage pipe 8 can be controlled. Since liquid tends to accumulate at the lowest point, the inlet of the drainage pipe 8 is located on the side of the first pipe 6 closer to the ground, which can better discharge the liquid in the first pipe 6. When the drying equipment starts drying the components, if the liquid in the drainage pipe 8 flows down in streams, the switch valve 9 remains open; if the liquid in the drainage pipe 8 is discharged in droplets, the switch valve 9 is closed to prevent the air from the fan 7 from escaping from the switch valve 9, which would result in greater energy loss.

[0033] The drying component 2 has a connecting opening and an inlet / outlet. The fan 7 is connected to the receiving cavity through the connecting opening, and the receiving cavity is connected to the outside through the inlet / outlet. A ventilation component for placing and supporting devices is provided inside the receiving cavity. The ventilation component separates the connecting opening and the inlet / outlet, and has a ventilation structure. The placement position is located on the ventilation component. The air generated by the fan 7 flows from the lower part to the upper part of the ventilation component. When the airflow is sufficient, it can move the devices, thereby preventing water stains from forming during the drying process. The ventilation structure can be a groove, slit, or hole, ensuring that the devices placed on it do not leak into the flow pipe. In this embodiment, the ventilation component is a filter screen, and the holes on the filter screen are the ventilation structure. These holes allow air to pass through the filter screen, and while the air passes through the fan 7, it can also support the devices, preventing them from falling into the flow pipe. The filter screen is inexpensive and has good performance. In some embodiments, the ventilation component can be a plate with ventilation grooves, and the ventilation structure is a ventilation groove. The type of ventilation component can be adjusted according to actual needs. It should be noted that "upper" and "lower" are relative directional terms. With the ventilation component as the reference, the lower part is the part of the ventilation component closer to the ground, and the upper part is the part of the ventilation component farther from the ground.

[0034] Specifically, a leak-proof cover 1 is provided on the inlet and outlet to cover the inlet and outlet. The leak-proof cover 1 is detachably connected to the drying component 2. The leak-proof cover 1 is provided with a ventilation structure to connect the receiving cavity to the outside. The ventilation structure can be a hole, opening, or slit, as long as the device cannot easily pass through it. By providing the leak-proof cover 1, when the device is blown up by the fan 7, it is prevented from moving outside the receiving cavity, thus avoiding damage or loss of the device. The leak-proof cover 1 and the drying component 2 can be connected by a snap-fit.

[0035] In detail, the drying element 2 has an inlet and outlet facing the connecting opening along a first direction. The inner wall of the drying element 2 between the inlet / outlet and the connecting opening protrudes outward, facilitating the movement of the device along the protrusion during the drying process, thus achieving thorough and uniform drying. It should be noted that for the drying element 2, "inner" refers to the receiving cavity, and "outer" refers to the portion of the drying element 2 outside the receiving cavity and housing. The outward protrusion of the inner wall of the drying element 2 allows some of the gas in the receiving cavity to flow back to the connecting opening after moving along the first direction. This drives the device in the receiving cavity to move from the center of the connecting opening towards the inlet / outlet, and then to the edge of the connecting opening. Simultaneously, the devices at the edge of the connecting opening are moved to the center of the connecting opening by the airflow, forming a cycle.

[0036] like Figures 2 to 4 As shown, in this embodiment, the drying element 2 is detachably connected to the flow pipe. After drying by the hot air blower, the drying element 2 can be removed from the flow pipe to avoid the residual heat in the flow pipe affecting the temperature drop of the drying element 2, thus slowing down the temperature drop inside the drying element 2 and extending the time for removing the device from the drying element 2.

[0037] The drying element 2 and the flow pipe are connected by a connection structure, which includes a limiting member 12 and a limiting groove 11. The limiting member 12 is engaged within the limiting groove 11 to connect the drying element 2 to the flow pipe. The limiting member 12 is located on the drying element 2, and the limiting groove 11 is located on the flow pipe; alternatively, the limiting member 12 is located on the flow pipe, and the limiting groove 11 is located on the flow pipe. The connection between the drying element 2 and the flow pipe via the limiting groove 11 and the limiting member 12 is simple in structure and convenient in operation. In some embodiments, the drying element 2 and the flow pipe can be connected by a snap-fit ​​mechanism. In this embodiment, the limiting member 12 is rod-shaped, and has a flow portion 14 and a snap-fit ​​portion 13 sequentially along its axial direction. The diameter of the snap-fit ​​portion 13 is larger than that of the flow portion 14, and the snap-fit ​​portion 13 is located at the end of the limiting member 12. The limiting groove 11 has a passage portion that passes through the snap-fit ​​portion 13 and a snap-fit ​​mating portion for snapping with the snap-fit ​​portion 13. The flow portion 14 of the limiting member 12 can slide in the snap-fit ​​groove. Flanges 10 are provided at the connection between the drying component 2 and the flow pipe. The limiting member 12 and the limiting groove 11 are respectively provided on the flanges 10 of the drying component 2 and the flow pipe. By providing the limiting member 12 and the limiting groove 11, the drying component 2 and the flow pipe can be snapped together by rotation. At the same time, a sealing ring is provided around the axial direction of the flow pipe on the flange 10 to ensure a tight connection between the flow pipe and the drying component 2.

[0038] In detail, two opposing handles 3 are provided on the outer wall of the drying unit 2, which makes it easy for operators to move the drying unit 2. At the same time, the handles on the outer wall of the drying unit 2 can prevent the high temperature of the hot air from burning the operators when the drying unit 2 is unloaded from the flow pipe.

[0039] In summary, the drying chamber 2 has a placement position for the device, and this placement position is located on the airflow path of the fan 7. Thus, the fan 7 can blow the device away from the placement position along a first direction. During this movement, the devices separate from each other, and any water accumulation inside the devices quickly detaches with the airflow path, preventing devices from stacking and avoiding watermarks on the device surface and inside due to residual water, which would affect the product yield. Furthermore, if the fan provides hot air, it can further accelerate the drying process and improve drying efficiency.

[0040] The above embodiments are merely illustrative of the principles and effects of this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model. Any person skilled in the art can modify or alter the above embodiments without departing from the spirit and scope of this utility model. Therefore, all equivalent modifications or alterations made by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and technical concept disclosed in this utility model should still be covered by the claims of this utility model.
