[0018] 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.
[0019] Please see Figure 1-3 A circulating air duct device for a thermosetting oven in this embodiment includes a curing oven body 1, a curing chamber 2 inside the curing oven body 1, a return air inlet 3 on the top of the curing chamber 2, a return air duct 4 connected to the top of the return air inlet 3, a return air fan 5 fixedly connected inside the return air duct 4, a dehumidifier 6 fixedly connected inside the return air duct 4, an air inlet valve 7 connected to the lower end of the return air duct 4, an air filter 8 snapped into the inside of the return air duct 4, and a heating tube 9 fixedly connected to the tail end of the return air duct 4.
[0020] A hot air blower 13 is fixedly connected inside the curing oven body 1. A temperature sensor 12 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the curing oven body 1. A blower 10 is fixedly connected inside the curing oven body 1 to drive airflow circulation, promote uniform heat distribution, and achieve forced convection heat exchange in conjunction with the hot air blower 13. An airflow adjustment device 11 is fixedly connected inside the curing oven body 1. A motor base 111 is welded inside the curing oven body 1 to provide a stable installation platform for the motor and controller 120 and to isolate the influence of motor vibration on the oven body. A telescopic motor 112 is fixedly connected to the motor base 111. A controller 120 is fixedly connected to the motor base 111. A support frame 113 is threadedly connected to the telescopic push rod of the telescopic motor 112. A bottom beam 117 is fixedly connected to the other end of the support frame 113, which links all blades 116 to move synchronously. A blade support 115 is movably connected to one side of the bottom beam 117. A blade 116 is fixedly connected to the other end of the blade support 115.
[0021] The telescopic motor 112 has two threaded support frames 113. One end is fixedly connected to the telescopic push rod of the telescopic motor 112, and the other end is fixedly connected to the bottom beam 117 at the top and bottom respectively. The two support frames 113 form a triangular structure, which increases the stability of the entire device and ensures that the blades 116 and the bottom beam 117 can remain stable during the wind direction adjustment process, without shaking or shifting, thus ensuring the accuracy and reliability of wind direction adjustment.
[0022] A sliding tongue 114 is welded onto the bottom beam 117, and a sliding groove 119 is provided on the blade support 115. The sliding tongue 114 and the sliding groove 119 are slidably connected to ensure that the movement trajectory of the blade support 115 is linear, reduce movement friction, and avoid jamming.
[0023] A circular slot is provided on the blade support 115, and a support fixing rod 118 is rotatably connected inside the circular slot.
[0024] The system includes four temperature sensors 12, three hot air blowers 13, and one blower 10. The temperature sensors 12, hot air blowers 13, and blower 10 are arranged in pairs at the four corners of the curing chamber 2. The hot air blower 13 in each corner can heat the area. With the real-time monitoring of the temperature sensors 12, the heat output can be precisely adjusted according to the temperature feedback of different areas to ensure that the temperature in each corner reaches and remains within a suitable range. This effectively improves the uniformity and consistency of the curing process and ensures stable product quality.
[0025] The heating tube 9 is arranged in a serpentine pattern and is located at the tail end of the return air duct 4, on the right side of the blower 10. The serpentine arrangement of the heating tube 9 increases the contact area and contact time between the heating tube 9 and the air in the return air duct. When the air flows through the tail end of the return air duct, the serpentine heating tube 9 can more fully transfer heat to the air, so that the air is heated evenly and efficiently, providing a stable source of hot air for the curing oven, which helps to improve the curing effect and the consistency of product quality.
[0026] When implementing this procedure, please follow these steps:
[0027] 1) First, close the intake valve 7;
[0028] 2) Then, based on the appearance of the workpiece, the angle of the blades 116 is adjusted by setting the controller 120 of the microcontroller 14 to control the four telescopic motors 112 respectively, so as to heat and solidify the dead corner area of the workpiece.
[0029] 3) Restart the blower 10, hot air blower 13, and return air blower 5 to solidify the workpiece. When the sensor in a certain area detects that the temperature of the current area has reached the set value, the microcontroller sends a command to the controller to change the operation of the telescopic motor, thereby driving the fan blades to rotate and blow hot air to the area with a lower temperature.
[0030] 4) Then wait for the workpiece to cure completely.
[0031] 5) Finally, turn off the blower 10, the hot air blower 13, and the return air blower 5, and open the air inlet valve 7.
[0032] In summary, the circulating air duct device of this thermosetting oven, by setting a controller 120 to control the telescopic motor 112 to drive the bottom beam 117 to move up and down, thereby controlling the angle of the fan blades 116 to control the airflow direction, and by setting up multi-zone temperature sensors 12 and airflow adjustment device 11, can accurately regulate the temperature and airflow distribution of each part, ensuring uniform heating of the workpiece, and achieving directional heating of dead corner areas, effectively improving the curing quality.
