Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cookware processing technology, specifically to a drying device for cookware processing. Background Technology

[0002] Cookware is an indispensable cooking tool in the kitchen, widely used for heating, boiling, frying, steaming, and other food processing processes. Depending on the material, cookware can be divided into various types, such as stainless steel, aluminum alloy, cast iron, copper, and non-stick pans. Each material has its unique properties and applicable scenarios. Cookware coating refers to applying a special material to the surface of the cookware to improve its performance or add functionality. Common cookware coatings include non-stick coatings, ceramic coatings, hard anodizing coatings, and enamel coatings. Drying is a crucial step in the cookware coating process; its purpose is to remove moisture or solvents from the coating material, ensuring that the coating can cure evenly and ultimately form a stable surface. Existing technology, such as the Chinese Utility Model Publication CN218155293U, discloses a high-efficiency cookware coating dryer, specifically relating to the field of cookware processing equipment technology. It includes a fixed support, on which a conveyor belt is fixedly mounted. Cookware placement devices are equidistantly mounted on the surface of the conveyor belt, each including a fixed base and a motor. A drying frame is fixedly mounted at the upper center of the fixed support, and several hot air blowers are fixedly mounted on the top wall of the inner cavity of the drying frame. A purification device is provided at the upper end of the drying frame. This high-efficiency cookware coating dryer, through the cooperation of the conveyor belt and the cookware placement devices, allows the non-stick cookware to rotate continuously during transport. This enables the hot air blowers and heating rods to uniformly and thoroughly dry the non-stick coating, leaving no corner untreated, resulting in better drying effects. Furthermore, there is no contact between the hot air blowers and heating rods and the coating surface, preventing damage and improving product quality.

[0003] Its pot placement device cannot be adjusted and cannot adapt to pots of different sizes and shapes. It is prone to falling off during high-speed rotation. Furthermore, it uses a hot air blower and electric heating rods to dry the coating, but the electric heating rods are located on the front and back sides, while the hot air blower is located on the top. During the drying process, the position of the electric heating rods makes its drying effect minimal. In addition, the purification device can easily suck away the hot air blown out by the hot air blower, which weakens its drying effect. Summary of the Invention
