Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of foam board production technology, specifically to an EPS foam board drying and stacking rack. Background Technology
[0002] EPS foam boards are made by mixing expandable polystyrene granules with steam and heating to foam them. After foaming and curing, they are pressed into shape by a molding machine. During the pressing process, steam heating is required for shaping. After molding, the foam boards are cooled and shaped by water. After shaping, the foam boards need to be dried to remove internal moisture. The existing drying method is to stack the foam boards in a drying rack, with the foam boards in contact and sticking together. This results in poor air permeability and low drying efficiency. In addition, the existing drying rack is composed of a square frame and grid, with sharp edges. The foam boards are easily scratched and damaged when they are handled, which affects the quality of the product. Utility Model Content
[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to address the above-mentioned shortcomings by providing an EPS foam board drying and stacking rack.
[0004] This utility model includes a movable outer frame with openings at the top, bottom, front, and back sides. A set of vertical arc-shaped side plates is provided on both the left and right sides of the movable outer frame. The middle of the movable outer frame is divided into two storage cavities by a vertical partition, and multiple storage racks are provided in each of the two storage cavities. Multiple layered limiting strips that cooperate with the storage racks are provided on both sides of the vertical partition.
[0005] The bottom of the movable outer frame is equipped with a set of wheels.
[0006] The four uprights of the movable outer frame are all circular metal tubes. The shelf is welded together from horizontal metal tubes and a set of vertical metal tubes. The shelf is tilted with the outer side higher than the inner side and can be adjusted and installed in the storage cavity.
[0007] Each of the four uprights has a set of positioning holes, and both ends of the horizontal metal tube of the shelf are screwed with positioning screws that match the positioning holes.
[0008] The top of the horizontal metal tube of the shelf has a set of spherical protrusions.
[0009] The advantages of this utility model are: the foam boards are stacked in layers by the shelves, and the spherical protrusions on the shelves prevent the foam boards from being kept horizontal when stacked, thus avoiding the sides of two adjacent foam boards from being tightly attached, increasing air permeability and improving drying efficiency; the shelves are welded from metal round tubes, and the side plates of the movable outer frame are vertical arc-shaped side plates. The entire interior of the drying rack and the contact surface with the foam boards are all arc-shaped structures, which effectively reduces friction with the foam boards. Attached Figure Description

[0014] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. The components of the embodiments of this utility model described and shown in the accompanying drawings can generally be arranged and designed in various different configurations.
[0015] Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of the present invention provided in the accompanying drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed invention, but merely to illustrate selected embodiments of the invention. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention. It should be noted that similar reference numerals and letters in the following drawings denote similar items; therefore, once an item is defined in one drawing, it does not need to be further defined and explained in subsequent drawings.
[0016] In the description of the embodiments of this utility model, it should be noted that if terms such as "upper," "lower," "inner," or "outer" indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, or the orientation or positional relationship commonly used when the utility model product is in use, they are only for the convenience of describing the 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, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of the utility model. Furthermore, if terms such as "first" or "second" appear in the description of this utility model, they are only used to distinguish descriptions and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.
[0017] In the description of the embodiments of this utility model, it should also be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "set" and "connection" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.
[0018] As shown in the attached figure, the present invention includes a movable outer frame 20, which has openings at the top, bottom, front and back sides. A set of vertical arc-shaped side plates 21 are provided on both the left and right sides of the movable outer frame 20. The middle of the movable outer frame 20 is divided into two storage cavities by a vertical partition 22, and multiple storage racks 24 are provided in each of the two storage cavities. Multiple layered limiting strips 25 are provided on both sides of the vertical partition 22 to cooperate with the storage racks 24.
[0019] The vertical partition 22 is a grid plate, which allows airflow between the front and rear storage chambers. The layered limiting strip 25 is used to support one end of the shelf 24. The vertical arc-shaped side plate 21 protrudes inward, making the entire side plate a corrugated structure. When the foam board is taken out or placed, it comes into contact with the inwardly protruding arc surface, which will not cause scratches or wear.
[0020] Furthermore, the bottom of the movable outer frame 20 is equipped with a set of wheels, one of which is a universal wheel with brakes, which facilitates movement, turning, and locking when parked.
[0021] Preferably, the four uprights of the movable outer frame 20 are all circular metal tubes, and the shelf 24 is welded from a horizontal metal tube and a set of vertical metal tubes. Both the uprights and the shelf 24 are circular tubes with no sharp corners, which effectively prevents the foam board from being scratched when taking it out or putting it in. The horizontal metal tubes are located on the outside and are used to connect and fix them to the four uprights.
[0022] The shelf 24 is tilted with the outer side higher than the inner side and can be adjusted and installed in the storage cavity. After the foam boards are stacked, they will also be tilted with the outer side higher than the inner side, so that the foam boards will not fall outward due to vibration during the movement of the drying rack.
[0023] Furthermore, each of the four uprights is provided with a set of positioning holes, and both ends of the horizontal metal tube of the shelf 24 are screwed with positioning screws that match the positioning holes.
[0024] The spacing between two adjacent shelves 24 can be adjusted according to the thickness of the foam board. When installing the shelves 24, the positioning screw is inserted into the column and screwed to the end of the horizontal metal tube.
[0025] Furthermore, the top of the horizontal metal tube of the shelf 24 is provided with a set of spherical protrusions 26. When stacking, one end of the foam board is located on the spherical protrusions 26, which can effectively prevent the foam board from being horizontal. When stacking, the two adjacent foam boards will not be tightly attached, increasing the gap between the foam boards, facilitating air circulation, and improving drying efficiency.
