[0045] Therefore, the high-temperature fan 21 is turned on, and the air in the oven 1 is introduced into the drying tunnel body 2 through the return air duct 23 under the action of the high-temperature fan 21. When the airflow flows along the drying tunnel body 2, the airflow is dispersed into different branch air ducts 22. The airflow is discharged back into the oven 1 through the air outlet mesh plate 221 in the branch air duct 22 for circulation. The hot air circulates in the oven 1 to prevent the phenomenon of local high temperature zone and local low temperature zone in the oven 1, so that the workpiece is heated evenly and it is beneficial for the workpiece to be dried in a similar time.
[0046] Specifically, the oven 1 is used to dry the workpiece, the drying tunnel body 2 is located at the top of the drying chamber of the oven 1, multiple branch air ducts 22 are designed and symmetrically distributed on both sides of the drying tunnel body 2, the air outlet mesh plate 221 is used to disperse the hot air in the branch air ducts 22, the return air duct 23 is located at the bottom of the drying chamber of the oven 1 and is set corresponding to the drying tunnel body 2, and the high temperature fan 21 is used to guide the air in the return air duct 23 to the drying tunnel body 2.
[0047] In some embodiments, such as Figure 3 As shown, the air inlet end of the return air duct 23 is equipped with a filter element 231, which is used to filter solid impurities in the return gas.

The threaded cap 232b is adapted to the threaded hole on the side wall of the return air duct 23. The threaded cap 232b is used to fix the position of the insertion rod 232a in the return air duct 23. The detachable design of the threaded cap 232b makes it easy to replace the activated carbon cartridge 232c.
[0051] Furthermore, there is no specific limit to the number of adsorption components 232 used; they can be installed according to usage requirements.
[0052] In some embodiments, such as Figure 5 As shown, a storage assembly 3 is installed in the drying chamber of the oven 1; the storage assembly 3 includes: two support plates 31, one side of each support plate 31 is connected to the return air duct 23, and the other side of each support plate 31 is connected to the branch air duct 22; a slide rod 32, the top of which is fixedly connected to a suspension frame 321 for suspending workpieces, and the bottom of which is hinged to a threaded joint 322 for internal thread connection with the support plate 31; and a storage plate 33, which is connected to the slide rod 32 via a connector 34 and is used to support workpieces.
[0053] Specifically, each support plate 31 has two threaded holes that are compatible with the threaded connector 322. The support plate 31 also serves to connect the branch air duct 22 and the return air duct 23. The slide bar 32 is designed with four rods distributed at the four corners of the suspension frame 321. The shelf 33 is used to place workpieces with round holes flat.
[0054] In some embodiments, such as Figure 4 As shown, the connector 34 includes: a sliding sleeve 341, the outer periphery of which is fixedly connected to the shelf 33, and the sliding sleeve 341 is slidably connected to the slide rod 32; a positioning pin 342 is disposed in the sliding sleeve 341, and the sliding sleeve 341 is connected to the slide rod 32 through the positioning pin 342.
[0055] Specifically, when the position of the shelf 33 is adjusted vertically, the shelf 33 causes the sliding sleeve 341 to slide along the sliding rod 32. The outer wall of the positioning pin 342 is threaded, and the positioning pin 342 is used to fix the position of the sliding sleeve 341 on the sliding rod 32.
[0056] In some embodiments, such as Figure 5 As shown, the sliding sleeve 341 is symmetrically distributed based on the shelf 33;
[0057] Specifically, a sliding sleeve 341 is provided at each of the four corners of the shelf 33. The design of multiple sliding sleeves 341 is to increase the connection strength between the shelf 33 and the sliding rod 32.
[0058] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 As shown, the shelf 33 has through holes evenly distributed in it, which are used for the circulation of hot air;
[0059] Specifically, through holes are machined in the shelf 33 to facilitate the circulation of hot air between the shelf 33.
[0060] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 As shown, a door panel 11 is hinged to the side of the oven 1 away from the high-temperature fan 21. The door panel 11 is used to control the opening and closing of the oven 1.
[0061] Specifically, the door panel 11 is a component of the oven 1, and the door panel 11 controls the opening and closing of the oven 1 to load and unload workpieces.
[0062] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 As shown, the drying chamber of the oven 1 is connected to a hot air pipe 12, and the air inlet of the hot air pipe 12 is connected to a hot air blower 13.
[0063] Specifically, the hot air generated by the hot air blower 13 is introduced into the oven 1 through the hot air pipe 12. The hot air blower 13 is a technology known to those skilled in the art and provides heat for drying in the oven 1.
[0064] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 As shown, the collecting hopper 231c is processed into a trumpet shape to facilitate the collection of solid impurities in the return gas into the return gas pipe 231a.
[0065] Specifically, the number of collection hoppers 231c used is the same as the number of return air pipes 231a used. The funnel-shaped design of the collection hoppers 231c facilitates the gathering of hot air into the return air duct 23.
[0066] The working principle of this application is illustrated below with a preferred embodiment:
[0067] Place the hanging frame 321 parallel above the support plate 31, then rotate the threaded joint 322 at the bottom of the slide rod 32 to connect the slide rod 32 to the support plate 31 through the threaded joint 322. Hang the workpiece to be hung on the hanging frame 321, and place the workpiece to be laid flat on the shelf 33. After the workpiece is placed, close the door panel 11.
[0068] Turn on the high-temperature fan 21. Under the action of the high-temperature fan 21, the air in the oven 1 is introduced into the oven body 2 through the return air duct 23. When the airflow flows along the oven body 2, the airflow is dispersed into the branch air duct 22. The airflow is discharged back into the oven 1 through the air outlet mesh plate 221 in the branch air duct 22 for circulation. Then turn on the hot air fan 13. The hot air of the hot air fan 13 is introduced into the oven 1 through the hot air pipe 12. Then the hot air circulates in the oven 1 with the airflow, so that the hot air in the oven 1 circulates evenly.
[0069] As the hot air circulates in the oven 1 for an extended period, impurities will be mixed into the hot air. When the impurities enter the return air pipe 231a through the collection hopper 231c, the filter screen 231b at the bottom of the return air pipe 231a filters the solid impurities in the hot air. As the hot air that has undergone preliminary filtration enters the high-temperature fan 21 along the return air duct 23, the activated carbon cylinder 232c located in the return air duct 23 filters the impurities in the gas again.
[0070] 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 the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some or all of the technical features therein. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model.
