[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of wooden toy manufacturing equipment, specifically to a wooden toy drying device. Background Technology
[0002] Playing with toys is often used as an educational activity, beneficial to children's intellectual development. Among these, building blocks have significant educational value. Building blocks are typically treated with safe, specialized water-based paints to improve the corrosion resistance of the wood. After painting, the paint needs to dry completely before packaging and sale. Current methods generally use either natural air drying or machine drying. Natural air drying takes a long time, which is not conducive to improving production efficiency. Existing machine drying methods include a wooden toy painting and drying device disclosed in patent CN217747922U, which uses a rotatable storage and drying structure to thoroughly dry the toys. However, this patent does not organically combine assembly line production with drying; that is, the toy needs to be placed in the device first, and then removed after drying. This method is not suitable for mass production of toys. Therefore, we propose a wooden toy drying device. Utility Model Content

[0019] The specific embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings, so that those skilled in the art can more clearly understand how to practice this utility model. Although this utility model has been described in conjunction with its preferred embodiments, these embodiments are merely illustrative and not intended to limit the scope of this utility model.
[0020] See Figure 1-3 In one embodiment of this utility model, a wooden toy drying device includes: a workbench 1 and a turntable 2, toy trays 3, a drying assembly 4, a receiving assembly 5, and a driving component (not shown in the figure) installed on the workbench 1. The turntable 2 is driven by the driving component and can rotate around an axis. Multiple toy trays 3 are provided, and multiple toy trays 3 are movably disposed on the turntable 2. Under the drive of the driving component, the toy trays 3 can be fed into the drying assembly 4 one by one for heating and drying. The receiving assembly 5 is used to push the dried toys away from the toy trays 3 to enter the next production process.
[0021] Specifically, the driving component may include necessary components such as a servo motor, gear set, and slewing bearing installed on the underside of the workbench 1. In implementation, the turntable 2 is installed on the upper end of the workbench 1 through the slewing bearing. The slewing bearing is connected to the output shaft of the servo motor through the gear set. The servo motor can drive the turntable 2 to rotate around the shaft at a certain speed.
[0022] Multiple toy trays 3 are evenly arranged on the turntable 2 around the axis of the turntable 2; each toy tray 3 includes a tray 31, a support column 32 and a bearing 33, the lower end of the support column 32 is rotatably connected to the turntable 2 through the bearing 33, and the tray 31 is fixedly arranged on the upper end of the support column 32; in use, the tray 31 is used to load toys of appropriate size to be dried; the outer edge of the tray 31 is provided with an external toothed groove.
[0023] In this embodiment, in order to reduce the obstruction of the tray 31 to the toy and hot air during the drying process, a number of through holes are provided on the bottom wall of the tray 31. The through holes can reduce the contact area between the toy and the tray 31, and can improve the convection of hot air around the tray 31 and the toy, thereby improving the drying efficiency.
[0024] The drying assembly 4 consists of a fan 42, a heater (not shown in the figure), and an air duct 41. The air duct 41 has an air inlet and an air outlet. The fan 42 is connected to the air inlet of the air duct 41. The heater is located inside the air duct 41. The operation of the fan 42 and the heater allows the high-temperature gas generated by the heater to circulate in the air duct. The air duct 41 includes a drying section 411 that partially overlaps with the stroke of the turntable 2. In order to ensure that the toys entering the drying section 411 are fully dried, in this embodiment, the length of the drying section 411 is not less than half of the stroke of the turntable 2. Sufficient stroke can ensure that the toys entering the drying section 411 are fully dried, thereby improving the drying efficiency.
[0025] Furthermore, the drying section 411 has an inlet 43 and an outlet 44. The rotation of the turntable 2 can drive the toy tray 3 to enter the drying section 411 through the inlet 43, and after drying, it will exit the drying section 411 through the outlet 44.
[0026] Furthermore, the inner wall of the drying section 411 is provided with an inner tooth groove that meshes with the outer tooth groove of the outer edge of the tray 31. When the toy tray 3 enters the drying section 411 through the inlet 43, the tray 31 contacts the inner wall of the drying section 411 and rotates. At this time, the toy placed on the tray 31 can come into more full contact with the high temperature gas, and the drying efficiency is greatly improved.
[0027] The receiving assembly 5 is located at the outlet 44. The receiving assembly 5 consists of a bracket, a cylinder, and a push rod driven by the cylinder. When the toy passes through the drying section 411 at outlet 44, the cylinder actuates, and the push rod pushes the toy away from the drying device, allowing the toy to enter the next production process without manual operation. Of course, to achieve the above objectives, this drying device should be equipped with a control unit and position switches that cooperate with the receiving assembly 5. The design of the control unit and position switches is prior art and will not be elaborated upon in this application.
[0028] In one embodiment, in order to ensure the continuity of the air duct and reduce the leakage of high-temperature gas from the inlet 43 and the outlet 44, plastic strip curtains can be installed at both the inlet 43 and the outlet 44. The tray 31 can freely pass through the plastic strip curtain under the driving force of the turntable 2. The connection between the plastic strip curtain and the drying section 411 is detachable.
[0029] This technical solution involves a tray with external toothed grooves on a rotating turntable. An internal toothed groove that meshes with the external toothed groove is provided on the inner wall of the drying section. The drying section has an inlet and an outlet for the toy tray to enter and exit. When the tray enters the drying section, it rotates under the drive of the turntable, allowing the toy placed on the tray to come into more full contact with the high-temperature gas. The assembly line design greatly improves the drying efficiency of the toy.
[0030] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solutions of this utility model without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of this utility model, and all such modifications or substitutions should be covered within the scope of the claims of this utility model.
