Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of wood component processing technology, specifically a wood component ventilation and drying device. Background Technology

[0002] Timber components are structural parts made primarily of wood and are widely used in traditional architecture, modern timber-framed architecture, furniture manufacturing, and decoration projects. Timber components require drying during the log storage, cutting, processing, and surface treatment stages. Damp timber components are prone to deformation, affecting the splicing effect.

[0003] Currently, the ventilation and drying of wooden components mainly includes two methods: natural drying and artificial drying. Natural drying is low-cost and low-energy-consuming, requiring only the wood to be placed in a ventilated area to dry in the shade, while avoiding direct exposure to the sun to prevent cracking.

[0004] A search revealed a ventilation device for a large-scale solar-powered wood drying chamber, disclosed in patent application publication number CN215447147U. The device includes a greenhouse consisting of four insulated walls and a first light-transmitting panel on the top. The first light-transmitting panel is an arc shape with one side drooping downwards, and a second light-transmitting panel is located below it. Even with the electric curtains open, the air between the first and second light-transmitting panels can still be heated by sunlight. Users can either open or close the trapezoidal door for ventilation, allowing the wood inside the greenhouse to be dried solely by hot air in a light-protected environment, thus adapting to the drying requirements of different types of wood.

[0005] The ventilation device is installed outdoors and uses sunlight to heat the interior through a light-transmitting panel. Although it can dry wood, it is only suitable for ventilating large stacks of wood and is not convenient for stacking small and medium-sized wooden components, making the device not very versatile. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a ventilation and drying device for wooden components. By setting a drying board inside the base shed, a drying platform is provided for small and medium-sized wooden components. The drying board is designed to unfold when in use and close to both sides of the base shed when not in use, so as not to affect the use of large timber. At the same time, the drying board can rise upwards, so that when there are fewer large timbers piled up, small wooden components can be dried in layers with large timbers, thereby improving the versatility and space utilization of the device.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a wood component ventilation and drying device, comprising a base shed and a roof covering the top of the base shed, wherein the roof and the base shed are fixedly connected by screws, and roller shutters are installed at both ends of the base shed.

The drying board is provided in two sets, and insert tubes are welded to the side of the two sets of drying boards away from the top block. The two ends of the insert rods are respectively inserted into the insert tubes at the bottom of the two sets of drying boards.

[0010] Preferably, the splicing structure further includes a positioning pin, which passes through both ends of the insertion rod and is threadedly connected to the insertion rod;

[0011] The insertion rods are provided in two sets, and the two sets of insertion rods are located on both sides of the drying board.

[0012] Preferably, the avoidance structure includes a lifting platform and a rotating rod. A groove for placing the rotating rod is provided on one side of the lifting platform. The two ends of the rotating rod are rotatably connected to the two sides of the groove, and one end of the drying board is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the rotating rod. A rotating motor for driving the rotating rod to rotate is installed on one side of the lifting platform.

[0013] Preferably, both sides of the drying board are welded with side plates to prevent small and medium-sized wooden components from falling off the sides, and the upper surface of the drying board is provided with through holes to facilitate air circulation.

[0014] Preferably, the lifting structure includes a screw, and columns are fixed to both sides of the base with screws. A sliding groove is opened in the column, and the screw is rotatably connected in the sliding groove. A drive motor is fixed to the bottom of the column, and the output end of the drive motor is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the screw through a rotating shaft.

[0015] Preferably, the lifting structure further includes a guide rod, both ends of which are fixedly connected to the base with screws, and the guide rod passes through both sides of the lifting platform and is slidably connected to the lifting platform.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0017] 1. This utility model, by setting up an unfoldable and retractable drying board and a layered lifting structure, enables compatible drying of large timbers and small to medium-sized wooden components.

[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. 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.

[0025] Please see Figure 1-4This utility model provides a technical solution: a ventilation and drying device for wooden components, including a base shed 1 and a roof 2 covering the top of the base shed 1. The roof 2 is fixedly connected to the base shed 1 by screws. Roller shutters 3 are installed at both ends of the base shed 1. The base shed 1 is provided with a support structure 4 to facilitate ventilation and drying of small and medium-sized wooden components and a clearance structure 5 to house the support structure 4 on both sides of the base shed 1. The base shed 1 is provided with a lifting structure 6 to adjust the height of the support structure 4.

[0026] The supporting structure 4 includes a drying board 401. The upper surface of the drying board 401 is provided with several top blocks 402 to facilitate the tilting of small and medium-sized wooden components. The bottom of the drying board 401 is provided with a splicing structure 7.

[0027] By tilting small and medium-sized wooden components onto the top block 402, a natural slope is created, which increases the contact area between the components and the air, accelerating moisture evaporation.

[0028] The through holes 404 on the surface of the drying board 401 form a through airflow channel. In conjunction with the opening and closing of the roller shutters 3 at both ends of the base 1, air circulation is achieved by using natural wind or forced ventilation by adding exhaust fans at both ends of the base 1 to remove moisture from the surface of the wood. The roller shutters 3 and exhaust fans are mature technologies in the prior art and will not be described in detail here.

[0029] The splicing structure 7 includes a rod 701 that supports the bottom of the drying board 401. The drying board 401 is provided in two sets. Each set of the drying board 401 has a tube 702 welded to the side away from the top block 402. The two ends of the rod 701 are respectively inserted into the tube 702 at the bottom of the two sets of drying boards 401.

[0030] The splicing structure 7 also includes a positioning pin 703, which passes through both ends of the insertion rod 701 and is threadedly connected to the insertion rod 701;

[0031] When small and medium-sized wooden components need to be dried, two sets of drying boards 401 are inserted into the two side insertion tubes 702 through the insertion rods 701 and fixed with the positioning pins 703 to form a continuous support plane; when storing, the operation is reversed to release the central space of the base shed 1 to accommodate large stacks of wood.

[0032] The insertion rod 701 is provided in two sets, and the two sets of insertion rod 701 are located on both sides of the drying board 401 respectively.

[0033] The avoidance structure 5 includes a lifting platform 501 and a rotating rod 502. A groove 503 for placing the rotating rod 502 is provided on one side of the lifting platform 501. The two ends of the rotating rod 502 are rotatably connected to the two sides of the groove 503 respectively. One end of the drying board 401 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the rotating rod 502. A rotating motor 504 for driving the rotating rod 502 to rotate is installed on one side of the lifting platform 501.

[0034] When the rotating motor 504 starts, the drying board 401 rotates 90° counterclockwise to unfold. When unfolded, it provides a layered drying function. When the drying board 401 rotates 90° clockwise to fold up, it forms an unobstructed open area, which meets the needs of horizontal stacking of large timbers and enables quick switching between drying modes for small, medium and large timbers.

[0035] Both sides of the drying board 401 are welded with side plates 403 to prevent small and medium-sized wooden components from falling off the sides, and the upper surface of the drying board 401 is provided with through holes 404 to facilitate air circulation.

[0036] The lifting structure 6 includes a screw 601. Columns 602 are fixed to both sides of the base 1 by screws. A sliding groove 603 is provided inside the column 602. The screw 601 is rotatably connected in the sliding groove 603. A drive motor 604 is fixed to the bottom of the column 602. The output end of the drive motor 604 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the screw 601 through a rotating shaft. The screw 601 passes through the lifting platform 501 and is threadedly connected to the lifting platform 501.

[0037] When large timbers are stacked at the bottom, the upper drying board 401 is raised to maintain the dry position of small and medium-sized components, forming a three-dimensional drying space; the multi-layer drying board 401 can be adjusted independently to adapt to the mixed drying needs of timbers of different specifications.

[0038] When space in the base shed 1 needs to be freed up, the drive motor 604 starts, driving the lifting platform 501 to move the drying board 401 down to a low position. Then, the drying board 401 is flipped from a horizontally unfolded state to a vertically folded state through the rotating shaft of the rotating rod 502, closely adhering to the side wall of the base shed 1, minimizing the space occupied.

[0039] The lifting structure 6 also includes a guide rod 605. Both ends of the guide rod 605 are fixedly connected to the base 1 by screws. The guide rod 605 passes through both sides of the lifting platform 501 and is slidably connected to the lifting platform 501.

[0040] In use, the drying board 401 is selected to be either unfolded or stowed depending on the type of wood to be dried. When the drying board 401 needs to be unfolded, the rotating motor 504 is started, and the drying board 401 is rotated 90° counterclockwise to unfold. The two sets of drying boards 401 are inserted into the side tubes 702 through the insertion rods 701 and fixed with the positioning pins 703 to form a continuous support plane. Small and medium-sized components are placed on the unfolded drying board 401 and the tilted top block 402 is used for positioning. Large timbers are stacked on the cleared base 1 ground. The roller shutter door 3 is opened to create a through-draft, and the through hole 404 accelerates the local airflow and improves the drying efficiency.

[0041] It should be noted that when the roller shutter door 3 is closed, exhaust fans can be installed at both ends of the base 1 where the roller shutter door 3 is installed, and forced ventilation is achieved through the exhaust fans to achieve air circulation.

[0042] When the drying board 401 needs to be stored, the rotating motor 504 is started and rotates through the rotating shaft of the rotating rod 502. The drying board 401 rotates 90° clockwise, flipping the drying board 401 from a horizontal unfolded state to a vertical storage state, freeing up the central space of the base 1 to accommodate large stacks of timber.

[0043] This ventilation and drying device can achieve compatible drying of large timber and medium and small wooden components, while layered drying can improve space utilization.

[0044] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
