Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of drying and heat preservation technology, and more specifically, to a drying and heat preservation device for metal-based composite materials. Background Technology

[0002] Metal matrix composites are composite materials made by artificially combining metals and their alloys as the matrix with one or more metal or non-metal reinforcing phases. The reinforcing materials are mostly inorganic non-metals, such as ceramics, carbon, graphite and boron, and metal wires can also be used. Together with polymer matrix composites, ceramic matrix composites and carbon or carbon composites, they constitute the modern composite material system. In the production of metal matrix composites, drying and heat preservation devices are used to dry and heat preservation the metal matrix composites to remove moisture.

[0003] Existing drying and heat preservation equipment can only dry and preserve metal matrix composites. In order to avoid impurities or contaminants adhering to the surface of the metal matrix composites, operators will clean the surface of the metal matrix composites before drying and heat preservation. However, cleaning not only increases the workload of the operators, but also increases the moisture content of the metal matrix composites due to the use of water, which leads to an increase in the drying and heat preservation time of the metal matrix composites. Utility Model Content

[0004] In order to overcome the above-mentioned defects of the prior art, the present invention provides a drying and heat preservation device for metal matrix composite materials. By setting up a placement mechanism, the metal matrix composite material can be cleaned during the process of being placed into the drying box through the placement mechanism, so as to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a drying and heat preservation device for metal matrix composite materials, comprising a drying box, wherein a plurality of drying lamps are provided on the top of the inner wall of the drying box, and mounting plates are provided on both sides of the inner wall of the drying box, wherein a plurality of grooves are provided on one side of the mounting plates, and heating resistance wires are provided inside the plurality of grooves, a placement plate is provided on the bottom of the inner wall of the drying box, and a placement mechanism is provided on the front side of the drying box.

[0006] In a preferred embodiment, the placement mechanism includes a box door, a first through hole is provided inside the box door, a first fixing plate is provided inside the first through hole, and a second fixing plate is provided on the first fixing plate.

[0007] In a preferred embodiment, brush plates are provided at the top and bottom of the inner wall of the second fixing plate, and a second through hole is provided at the top and bottom of the second fixing plate, with a connecting pipe provided inside the second through hole.

[0008] In a preferred embodiment, each of the two connecting pipes has a third through hole on its opposite side, and each of the two connecting pipes has a flexible tube on its outer wall. The opposite ends of the two flexible tubes pass through their respective connecting pipes and extend into the interior of the connecting pipes.

[0010] In a preferred embodiment, a push-pull rod is symmetrically arranged on the front side of the push plate, a second connecting plate is arranged at the bottom of the push plate, and two positioning plates are arranged on the rear side of the push plate.

[0011] The technical effects and advantages of this utility model are as follows:

[0012] By designing a placement mechanism, the surface of the metal matrix composite material can be cleaned manually by operators when placed in the drying oven for drying and heat preservation. Instead, the surface can be cleaned directly by the brush plate and air blowing pipe within the placement mechanism. This cleaning method significantly reduces the workload of operators. Furthermore, replacing water cleaning with air cleaning via the brush plate and connecting pipe avoids the phenomenon of increased moisture content in the metal matrix composite material during cleaning, which would otherwise lead to an increase in drying and heat preservation time. Through these series of reasonable designs, the convenience and reliability of the device are significantly improved, thus enhancing its practicality. Attached Figure Description

[0018] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. 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.

[0019] As attached Figure 1-4 The device shown is a drying and heat preservation device for metal matrix composites, including a drying chamber 1. Several drying lamps 2 are provided on the top of the inner wall of the drying chamber 1. Mounting plates 3 are provided on both sides of the inner wall of the drying chamber 1. Several grooves are opened on one side of the mounting plates 3. Heating resistance wires 4 are provided in the grooves. By setting several drying lamps 2 and several heating resistance wires 4 inside the drying chamber 1, the metal matrix composites can be dried and kept warm by the drying lamps 2 and heating resistance wires 4 after entering the drying chamber 1. A placement plate 5 is provided at the bottom of the inner wall of the drying chamber 1 to provide a position for placing the metal matrix composites. A placement mechanism is provided on the front side of the drying chamber 1.

[0020] As attached Figure 2 , 3 As shown in Figure 4, the placement mechanism includes a door 6, which is connected to the drying oven 1 via a hinge. A first through-hole is provided inside the door 6, and a first fixing plate 7 is installed inside the first through-hole. A second fixing plate 8 is installed on the first fixing plate 7. The installation of the first fixing plate 7 within the first through-hole allows the second fixing plate 8 to be smoothly connected to the drying oven 1. Brush plates 9 are provided at the top and bottom of the inner wall of the second fixing plate 8. The addition of the brush plates 9 allows the metal-based composite material to be surface-cleaned when it is fed into the drying oven 1 through the placement mechanism. Second through-holes are provided at the top and bottom of the second fixing plate 8, and connecting pipes 10 are installed inside the second through-holes. Third through-holes are provided on opposite sides of the two connecting pipes 10. The addition of connecting pipe 10 allows the metal matrix composite material to have its surface dust and contaminants blown away by the gas blown out by the connecting pipe 10 when it is sent into the drying oven 1 by the placement mechanism. Both connecting pipes 10 have hoses 11 on their outer walls. The addition of the hoses 11 allows the connecting pipes 10 to be blown out smoothly by the external air supply equipment. The two hoses 11 pass through their corresponding connecting pipes 10 at opposite ends and extend into the interior of the connecting pipes 10. A first connecting plate 12 is provided on the front side of the second fixing plate 8. A push plate 13 is provided on the top of the first connecting plate 12. The push plate 13 is U-shaped and has grooves on both sides. Anti-slip strips 14 are provided inside the grooves. The addition of anti-slip strips 14 increases the friction on both sides of the push plate 13.

[0021] As attached Figure 3 , 4 As shown, a push-pull rod 15 is symmetrically arranged on the front side of the push plate 13, a second connecting plate 16 is arranged at the bottom of the push plate 13, and two positioning plates 17 are arranged on the rear side of the push plate 13. The addition of the push-pull rod 15 makes it convenient for the user to pull and push the push plate 13 with the push-pull rod 15, while the addition of the second connecting plate 16 closes the gap at the bottom of the push plate 13, and the addition of the positioning plates 17 positions the push plate 13 to prevent the push plate 13 from being pulled too much.

[0022] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: When drying the metal-based composite material in the drying chamber 1, the push plate 13 is first pulled out of the drying chamber 1 by the push rod 15. After the push plate 13 is pulled out, the metal-based composite material is placed inside the push plate 13. Then, the air supply device connected to the hose 11 is activated so that the hose 11 guides the air to the connecting pipe 10 and blows it out from the connecting pipe 10. At this time, the push rod 15 is pushed to send the push plate 13 and the metal-based composite material from the placement mechanism into the drying chamber 1. During the movement of the metal-based composite material, the impurities and contaminants attached to the surface of the air blowing part of the connecting pipe 10 are blown off first, and then it is cleaned by the brush plate 9 before entering the drying chamber 1. After the metal-based composite material enters the drying chamber 1, the external air supply device is turned off and the drying lamp 2 and the heating resistance wire 4 are activated to dry and keep the metal-based composite material warm.
