Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of drying equipment technology, and in particular to a transport robot for automated drying equipment. Background Technology
[0002] General drying equipment structures employ various drying methods. Some use a drying chamber with multiple layers of material trays inside, which are then removed after drying. Others have multiple conveyor belts inside the drying chamber, on which materials are placed and transferred / tumbled between the multiple conveyor belts until finally removed after drying. Our company has designed a transport-type drying chamber where multiple material trays are placed on a conveyor chain on one side of the drying chamber and slowly moved upwards while being dried. Once at the top, a transport robot moves the material trays to a conveyor belt on the other side of the drying chamber, where they are then slowly moved downwards while still being dried. After a period of drying, the material trays are removed once they reach the bottom. This invention designs a transport robot suitable for this special drying chamber to solve the problem of material tray handling in such chambers, making it suitable for drying special materials.
