Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of wood drying technology, specifically a wood drying device for furniture production. Background Technology
[0002] Furniture refers to a broad category of appliances and facilities that are essential for human beings to maintain normal life, engage in production practices, and carry out social activities. Furniture has also continuously developed and innovated with the times, and today it has many categories, different materials, complete varieties, and different uses, making it an important foundation for establishing work and living spaces.
[0003] In existing furniture production processes, wood is piled up in one place during drying, which leads to uneven heating. After the outer wood is dried, the inner wood still needs to be dried for a long time. At the same time, the piled wood tends to slow down air circulation, and the moisture generated after heating tends to accumulate inside the piled wood, causing phenomena such as bending and cracking during the drying process. To address these problems, we propose a wood drying device for furniture production. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a wood drying device for furniture production, so as to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a wood drying device for furniture production, comprising a dryer body, a drying tower at the top of the dryer body, a door at the front of the drying tower, a round shaft rotatably connected to the bottom of the drying tower via a bearing, a base plate fixedly connected to the top of the round shaft, the base plate being slidably connected to the inner wall of the drying tower, a support mechanism for placing wood at the top of the base plate, two fixed plates fixedly connected to the inner wall of the bottom of the drying tower, a worm gear rotatably connected between the two fixed plates via a bearing, a worm wheel fixedly connected to the outer side of the round shaft, the worm wheel meshing with the worm gear, and the worm gear being driven by a motor.
[0006] More preferably, the supporting mechanism includes four round rods, which are fixedly connected to the top of the base plate. Multiple horizontal plates are slidably connected to the outer sides of the four round rods. The top of each horizontal plate has a placement groove, and the bottom of the placement groove has several ventilation holes. A spring is fixedly connected between two adjacent horizontal plates and between the bottommost horizontal plate and the base plate. The spring is movably sleeved on the outer side of the round rod. A limit plate is fixedly connected to the top of each round rod.
[0007] In a further preferred embodiment, a fan is provided on the rear side of the drying tower, and the air outlet of the fan extends into the drying tower and is connected to an air grating. Air is blown in through the air grating to increase air circulation. A dehumidifying plate is movably installed on the rear side of the door to further absorb moisture in the drying tower and reduce humidity.
[0008] More preferably, the dryer body is provided with flow guide hoods on both sides, and the flow guide hoods are connected to the drying tower through connecting pipes, which extend into the drying tower and are connected to vertical pipes.
[0009] More preferably, the vertical pipe is fixedly connected to the inner walls of both sides of the drying tower and is connected to multiple nozzles, through which the hot air of the dryer body is evenly blown into the drying tower.
[0010] More preferably, the motor is fixed on the fixing plate, and the end of the output shaft of the motor is fixedly connected to the worm gear.
[0011] More preferably, the top of the drying tower is provided with an exhaust port, and the front side of the door is provided with a handle.
[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0013] 1. The wood is placed in the slot of the horizontal board. Under the action of gravity, the horizontal board slides down the outside of the round rod. The spring is compressed. The distance between two adjacent horizontal boards will change due to the weight of the wood. The greater the weight, the greater the distance and the better the air circulation.
[0014] 2. Close the door and start the dryer. Hot air flows into the drying tower through the guide hood, connecting pipe, and vertical pipe, and then through the nozzle. The ventilation holes in the horizontal plate increase the flow of hot air. Start the fan, and outside air slowly flows into the drying tower through the air grid and blows from the back to the front. This blows the horizontally flowing hot air forward, ensuring that the center of the wood is fully dried. At the same time, the moisture gathered in the center is moved forward and absorbed by the dehumidifying plate installed on the door. The dehumidifying plate can be installed on the door for quick replacement.
[0015] 3. The motor is started while drying, which drives the worm gear to rotate. The worm gear drives the worm wheel that meshes with it to rotate, and the worm wheel drives the round shaft to rotate. This causes the supporting mechanism and the wood to rotate slowly inside the drying tower, further improving the uniformity of drying. During the rotation, the weight distribution of the wood on the horizontal plate is not necessarily completely uniform, that is, the center of gravity is not in the center. Therefore, under the action of the spring, the horizontal plate will slide slightly up and down on the outside of the round rod while rotating, thereby increasing the flow of hot air and further increasing the uniformity of drying.

[0021] 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. Example
[0022] Please see Figure 1-4This utility model provides a technical solution: a wood drying device for furniture production, including a dryer body 1, a drying tower 2 at the top of the dryer body 1, a door 3 at the front of the drying tower 2, a round shaft 4 rotatably connected to the bottom of the drying tower 2 via bearings, a base plate 5 fixedly connected to the top of the round shaft 4, the base plate 5 being slidably connected to the inner wall of the drying tower 2, a wood-supporting mechanism at the top of the base plate 5, and two fixed plates 7 fixedly connected to the inner wall of the bottom of the drying tower 2, the two fixed plates 7 being rotatably connected by bearings. A worm gear 8 and a worm wheel 6 are fixedly connected to the outer side of the round shaft 4. The worm wheel 6 meshes with the worm gear 8. The worm gear 8 is driven by a motor 9. In use, the door 3 is opened and the wood is placed in the placement slot 19 of the horizontal plate 18. Under the action of gravity, the horizontal plate 18 slides downward on the outer side of the round rod 21, and the spring 24 is compressed. The distance between two adjacent horizontal plates 18 will change due to the weight of the wood. The greater the weight, the greater the distance and the better the air circulation. The door 3 is closed and the dryer body 1 is started. Hot air passes through the guide hood 14, the connecting pipe 15, and the vertical pipe 1. 6. Then, the hot air flows into the drying tower 2 through the nozzle 17. The ventilation holes 20 in the horizontal plate 18 increase the circulation of hot air. When the fan 10 is started, the outside air slowly flows into the drying tower 2 through the air grille 11 and blows from the back to the front, pushing the horizontally flowing hot air forward so that the center of the wood can be fully dried. At the same time, the moisture gathered in the center is moved forward and absorbed by the dehumidifying plate 12 installed on the door 3. The dehumidifying plate 12 can be movably installed on the door 3 for quick replacement. The motor 9 is started during the drying process. Motor 9 drives worm 8 to rotate, worm 8 drives worm wheel 6 to rotate, worm wheel 6 drives round shaft 4 to rotate, thereby driving the support mechanism and wood to rotate slowly inside drying tower 2, further improving the uniformity of drying. During the rotation, the weight distribution of wood on horizontal plate 18 is not necessarily completely uniform, that is, the center of gravity is not in the center. Therefore, under the action of spring 24, horizontal plate 18 will slide slightly up and down on the outside of round rod 21, thereby increasing the flow of hot air and further increasing the uniformity of drying.
[0023] In this embodiment, specifically: the supporting mechanism includes four round rods 21, which are fixedly connected to the top of the base plate 5. Multiple horizontal plates 18 are slidably connected to the outer side of the four round rods 21. The top of the horizontal plate 18 is provided with a placement groove 19, and the bottom of the placement groove 19 is provided with a number of ventilation holes 20. A spring 24 is fixedly connected between two adjacent horizontal plates 18 and between the bottommost horizontal plate 18 and the base plate 5. The spring 24 is movably sleeved on the outer side of the round rods 21, and a limit plate 22 is fixedly connected to the top of the round rods 21.
[0024] In this embodiment, specifically: a fan 10 is provided on the rear side of the drying tower 2, the air outlet of the fan 10 extends into the drying tower 2 and is connected to an air grating 11, and air is blown in through the air grating 11 to increase air circulation; a dehumidifying plate 12 is movably installed on the rear side of the door 3 to further absorb moisture in the drying tower 2 and reduce humidity.
[0025] In this embodiment, specifically: the dryer body 1 is provided with flow guide hoods 14 on both sides, and the flow guide hoods 14 are connected to the drying tower 2 through a connecting pipe 15. The connecting pipe 15 extends into the drying tower 2 and is connected to a vertical pipe 16.
[0026] In this embodiment, specifically: the vertical pipe 16 is fixedly connected to the inner walls of both sides of the drying tower 2 and is connected to multiple nozzles 17, through which the hot air of the dryer body 1 is evenly blown into the drying tower 2;
[0027] In this embodiment, specifically: the motor 9 is fixed on the fixing plate 7, and the end of the output shaft of the motor 9 is fixedly connected to the worm gear 8;
[0028] In this embodiment, specifically: the top of the drying tower 2 is provided with an exhaust port 13, and the front side of the door 3 is provided with a handle 23.
[0029] In operation, this invention works as follows: When in use, the door 3 is opened and the wood is placed in the placement groove 19 of the horizontal plate 18. Under the action of gravity, the horizontal plate 18 slides downwards on the outside of the round rod 21, compressing the spring 24. The distance between two adjacent horizontal plates 18 changes depending on the weight of the wood; the greater the weight, the larger the distance, resulting in better airflow. The door 3 is closed, and the dryer body 1 is started. Hot air flows through the guide hood 14, connecting pipe 15, and vertical pipe 16, then through the nozzle 17 into the drying tower 2. The ventilation holes 20 inside the horizontal plates 18 increase the flow of hot air. The fan 10 is started, and outside air slowly flows into the drying tower 2 through the air grille 11 and blows from the back to the front, propelling the horizontally flowing hot air forward so that the center of the wood receives sufficient heat. During drying, the moisture gathered at the center is moved forward and absorbed by the dehumidifying plate 12 installed on the door 3. The dehumidifying plate 12 can be movably installed on the door 3 for quick replacement. At the same time as drying, the motor 9 is started, which drives the worm gear 8 to rotate. The worm gear 8 drives the worm wheel 6 that meshes with it to rotate. The worm wheel 6 drives the round shaft 4 to rotate, thereby driving the supporting mechanism and the wood to rotate slowly inside the drying tower 2, further improving the uniformity of drying. During the rotation, the weight distribution of the wood on the horizontal plate 18 is not necessarily completely uniform, that is, the center of gravity is not in the center. Therefore, under the action of the spring 24, the horizontal plate 18 will slide slightly up and down on the outside of the round rod 21, thereby increasing the flow of hot air and further increasing the uniformity of drying.
