[0024] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0025] Reference Figures 1-5 A drying mechanism for processing acrylic sheets includes a drying chamber 1 and an acrylic sheet body 2. Multiple clamping components are evenly spaced vertically within the drying chamber 1, abutting against the left and right ends of the acrylic sheet body 2. Each clamping component includes two clamping plates 3 fixedly connected to the inner sidewalls at both ends of the drying chamber 1. Multiple first balls 4 are rolled at equal intervals on the opposite sidewalls of the two clamping plates 3, abutting against the sidewalls at both ends of the acrylic sheet body 2. A protrusion 7 is fixedly connected to the rear sidewall of the clamping plate 3, and a third ball 8 is rolled on the front sidewall of the protrusion 7, abutting against the rear sidewall of the acrylic sheet body 2. The third ball 8 acts as a stop for the acrylic sheet body 2, preventing it from moving backward and interfering with the connecting pipe 15.

[0026] Multiple clamping components are provided with multiple support components at equal intervals, which abut against the upper and lower ends of the acrylic sheet body 2. Each support component includes two support plates 5 that are fixedly connected to the upper and lower sides of the two clamping plates 3. Multiple second balls 6 are rolled at equal intervals on the opposite sidewalls of the two support plates 5. The multiple second balls 6 abut against the upper and lower ends of the acrylic sheet body 2. The second balls 6 can support the acrylic sheet body 2. In cooperation with the first ball 4, the acrylic sheet body 2 can be stably fixed in the drying box 1. The contact area between the first ball 4, the second ball 6 and the third ball 8 and the acrylic sheet body 2 is small, which can reduce the impact on the drying work. The rolling of the first ball 4 and the second ball 6 also makes it easy to pull out the acrylic sheet body 2, so as to place it in the drying box 1 or take it out of the drying box 1.

[0027] The clamping plate 3 has multiple first openings 9 that are evenly spaced through it, and the support plate 5 has multiple second openings 10 that are evenly spaced through it. The support plate 5 has a small front and rear width and multiple second openings 10 that are evenly spaced through it, which can reduce the obstruction of the hot air discharged from the air outlet 16 and help ensure that the acrylic sheet body 2 is fully dried.

[0028] A drying assembly is installed on the drying chamber 1. A vertically arranged connecting pipe 15 is installed at the air outlet end of the drying assembly. The drying assembly includes a hot air blower 17 installed on the outer wall of the drying chamber 1. A hot air blower is a device that can convert electrical energy or other energy into heat energy and blow hot air out through a fan. Its structure and working principle are mature existing technologies and will not be described in detail here. A telescopic pipe 18 extending into the drying chamber 1 is installed at the air outlet end of the hot air blower 17. The telescopic pipe 18 is connected to the connecting pipe 15. When the connecting pipe 15 moves horizontally in the drying chamber 1, the telescopic pipe 18 can extend and retract to adapt to the movement of the connecting pipe 15.

[0029] The connecting pipe 15 is equipped with multiple air outlet pipes 16 extending forward and backward. Each air outlet pipe 16 has multiple air outlets at equal intervals, opposite to the acrylic sheet body 2. The multiple air outlet pipes 16 simultaneously dry the upper and lower sides of the multiple acrylic sheet bodies 2. The front-to-back length of the air outlet pipe 16 is not less than the front-to-back length of the acrylic sheet body 2. Hot air can be evenly sprayed out through the multiple air outlets to uniformly dry the acrylic sheet body 2. The drying chamber 1 is equipped with a drive assembly that drives the connecting pipe 15 to reciprocate horizontally. The drive assembly includes a mounting groove 11 formed in the rear side wall of the drying chamber 1, within which a sliding connecting pipe... A T-shaped connecting plate 12 extends into the drying chamber 1 and is fixedly connected to the rear side wall of the connecting pipe 15. The T-shaped connecting plate 12 is adapted to the mounting groove 11, so that the T-shaped connecting plate 12 can only move horizontally within the mounting groove 11. A threaded rod 13 is rotatably connected within the mounting groove 11. The threaded rod 13 is threaded through the T-shaped connecting plate 12. The threaded rod 13 extends to the outside of the drying chamber 1 and is driven to rotate by a servo motor 14 installed on the outside of the drying chamber 1. The servo motor 14 drives the threaded rod 13 to rotate, and under its thread engagement, the T-shaped connecting plate 12 drives the connecting pipe 15 to move back and forth horizontally to dry the acrylic sheet body 2.

[0030] The bottom of the drying oven 1 is equipped with multiple support legs. A closed door 20 is installed on the front side wall of the drying oven 1. A control panel is installed on the closed door 20, which is convenient for controlling the opening and closing of the hot air blower 17 and the servo motor 14. An exhaust pipe 19 is installed through the side wall of the drying oven 1. A pressure valve is installed on the exhaust pipe 19. The exhaust pipe 19 and the pressure valve work together to exhaust air from the drying oven 1, so as to maintain the air pressure balance inside the drying oven 1.

[0031] The functional principle of this utility model can be explained through the following operation methods:

[0032] In this utility model, when the closed door 20 is opened, the acrylic sheet body 2 is placed inside the drying oven 1. The second ball bearing 6 can support and fix the acrylic sheet body 2 through the upper and lower sides, and the first ball bearing 4 can limit and fix the acrylic sheet body 2 through the left and right sides, so that the acrylic sheet body 2 can be placed stably inside the drying oven 1. The third ball bearing 8 can act as a baffle for the acrylic sheet body 2, preventing the acrylic sheet body 2 from continuing to move into the drying oven 1 and interfering with the connecting pipe 15. The first ball bearing 4 and the second ball bearing 6 are in rolling connection with the acrylic sheet body 2, which makes it easy to pick up and put down the acrylic sheet body 2.

[0033] The hot air blower 17 and servo motor 14 are started. The hot air blower 17 introduces hot air into the connecting pipe 15 through the telescopic pipe 18. The hot air is discharged through multiple air outlets on multiple air outlet pipes 16 to dry the acrylic sheet body 2. The servo motor 14 drives the threaded rod 13 to rotate. Under the action of its thread engagement, the T-shaped connecting plate 12 drives the air outlet pipe 16 to move back and forth horizontally. In turn, the multiple air outlet pipes 16 move back and forth, which can evenly and fully dry the acrylic sheet body 2. The second through-hole 10 provided on the support plate 5 can reduce the obstruction of the hot air discharged from the air outlet pipe 16, which is conducive to ensuring that the acrylic sheet body 2 is fully dried. In addition, it cooperates with the first through-hole 9 provided on the clamping plate 3 to facilitate the circulation of hot air in the drying box 1, and at the same time, evenly and fully dry multiple acrylic sheet bodies 2.

[0034] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
