Detailed Implementation
[0022] The present invention will now be further described with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0023] A dual-convection drain rack includes a fixed box 1, an air blowing assembly 2, and a venturi tube 3. The fixed box 1 contains an air blowing chamber 1-1, a mounting chamber 1-2, and a return air chamber 1-3. The venturi tube 3 is fixed in the mounting chamber 1-2 and communicates with both the air blowing chamber 1-1 and the return air chamber 1-3. Air is blown into the venturi tube 3 by the air blowing assembly 2, which is mounted on the air blowing chamber 1-1. This causes the gas to flow from the air blowing chamber 1-1 into the venturi tube 3, and then out through the venturi tube 3. The air flows into the return air chamber 1-3. A hanging pipe 3-1 is provided on the venturi tube 3. The hanging pipe 3-1 extends out of the mounting chamber 1-2. The part to be drained is hung on the hanging rod 3-1. The air velocity in the venturi tube 3 is high and the pressure is low, which makes the airflow from the end of the hanging pipe 3-1 toward the venturi tube 3 form in the hanging rod 3-1. That is, a negative pressure is formed in the hanging rod 3-1, which draws the air inside the part to be drained into the hanging rod 3-1, thereby forming a convection inside the part to be drained, so as to accelerate the evaporation of moisture inside the part to be drained. The mounting cavity 1-2 is connected to the return air cavity 1-3, so that the airflow flowing into the return air cavity 1-3 through the venturi tube 3 flows into the mounting cavity 1-2. An air blowing groove 1-4 is provided on the side wall of the mounting cavity 1-2, and the air blowing groove 1-4 faces the hanging pipe 3-1, so that the airflow blows on the parts to be drained that are hung on the hanging rod 3-1, thereby forming secondary convection on the surface and inside of the parts to be drained, thereby further accelerating the evaporation of moisture inside the parts to be drained.
[0024] In this embodiment, the hanging pipe 3-1 extends out of the mounting cavity 1-2 through the air blowing groove 1-4. Preferably, the air blowing groove 1-4 is oriented along the axial direction of the hanging pipe 3-1 so that at least part of the airflow output through the air blowing groove 1-4 blows towards the inside of the component to be drained, further accelerating the evaporation of moisture inside the component to be drained.
[0025] The fixed box 1 is provided with a first partition plate 1-5 and a second partition plate 1-6. An air blowing chamber 1-1 is formed above the first partition plate 1-5. An installation chamber 1-2 is formed between the first partition plate 1-5 and the second partition plate 1-6. A return air chamber 1-3 is formed below the second partition plate 1-6. A connecting groove 1-7 is provided on the second partition plate 1-6 to connect the return air chamber 1-3 and the installation chamber 1-2.
[0026] The venturi tube 3 includes a first pipe section 3-6 and a second pipe section 3-7 with the same diameter, and a constricted section 3-2 with a smaller diameter than the first pipe section 3-6 and the second pipe section 3-7. The constricted section 3-2 is connected to the first pipe section 3-6 and the second pipe section 3-7 respectively. The connecting pipe 3-1 is connected to the constricted section 3-2. The airflow flows through the first pipe section 3-6, the constricted section 3-2 and the second pipe section 3-7 in sequence. Since the inner diameter of the constricted section 3-2 is smaller, the flow velocity of the constricted section 3-2 increases when the flow rate is inconvenient, thereby further reducing the air pressure at the constricted section 3-2. This increases the flow velocity of the airflow formed inside the connecting rod 3-1, which flows from the end of the connecting pipe 3-1 toward the venturi tube 3, thereby further accelerating the gas flow velocity on the inner surface of the component to be drained.
[0027] An end cap 3-3 or a support tube 3-4 is detachably installed at the end of the hanging pipe 3-1. When it is necessary to drain the parts, the support tube 3-4 is fixed on the hanging pipe 3-1, and the parts to be drained are hung on the support tube 3-4. When the venturi tube 3 is not hung with the parts to be drained, the end cap 3-3 is used to seal the end of the hanging pipe 3-1 to prevent foreign objects from entering the hanging pipe 3-1.
[0028] Multiple air intake grooves 3-5 are provided on the side wall of the support tube 3-4 so that air in the component to be drained can flow into the support tube 3-4 through the air intake grooves 3-5.
[0029] The bottom of the fixed box 1 is connected to a water collection box 4, which is located below the hanging pipe 3-1. The water collection box 4 collects the liquid dripping from the parts to be drained.
[0030] During the use of the support pipe 3-4, some liquid on the part to be drained will drip onto the support pipe 3-4, causing the liquid to flow into the support pipe 3-4 through the air intake groove 3-5, and then be transported to the return air chamber 1-3 through the venturi tube 3. To prevent the liquid from accumulating in the return air chamber 1-3, a drainage groove 1-8 is provided at the bottom of the return air chamber 1-3. The water collection box 4 is connected to the return air chamber 1-3 through the drainage groove 1-8, so as to pour the liquid in the return air chamber 1-3 out of the return air chamber 1-3.
[0031] The air blowing assembly 2 includes multiple fans 2-1, which are arranged between adjacent venturi tubes 3 to ensure that the air volume in each venturi tube 3 is as consistent as possible, and to ensure that each venturi tube 3 can draw air from the parts to be drained that are hung on it through the connecting pipe 3-1.
[0032] The working principle of this draining rack is as follows:
[0033] When fan 2-1 operates, it blows air into air chamber 1-1 to form an airflow. The airflow flows into venturi tube 3, increasing the air velocity inside venturi tube 3. The pressure difference between the air pressure inside hanging rod 3-1 and venturi tube 3 causes the air inside hanging rod 3-1 to flow towards venturi tube 3, thereby drawing air from the inside of the component to be dried and accelerating the evaporation of moisture inside. The airflow flows through venturi tube 3 into return air chamber 1-3. The airflow in return air chamber 1-3 flows through connecting groove 1-7 into mounting chamber 1-2. Then, the air blowing groove 1-4 on mounting chamber 1-2 blows air onto the outside and inside of the component to be dried, accelerating the overall evaporation of moisture in the component to be dried.

Various modifications to these embodiments will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art, and the general principles defined herein may be implemented in other embodiments without departing from the spirit or scope of the present invention; therefore, the present invention is not to be limited to the embodiments shown herein, but is to be accorded the widest scope consistent with the principles and novel features disclosed herein.
