Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of metal product processing equipment technology, and in particular to a coating drying device for aluminum pot processing. Background Technology

[0002] Aluminum cookware, a common cooking utensil, is widely used in homes and the catering industry due to its lightweight, excellent heat conductivity, and corrosion resistance. However, aluminum cookware is prone to oxidation when exposed to food over long-term use, and its surface may experience localized corrosion due to high temperatures or acidic / alkaline substances. Therefore, modern aluminum cookware manufacturing processes typically involve spraying a high-temperature resistant protective coating, such as polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) or ceramic coating, onto the surface of the cookware to improve its non-stick properties, corrosion resistance, and wear resistance, while also extending its lifespan and improving the cooking experience. Uniform curing of the coating is a crucial step in ensuring its stable performance, and the drying process plays a decisive role in this process.

[0003] Currently, hot air circulation equipment is commonly used for drying aluminum pot coatings. One example is a coating dryer for aluminum pot processing, with publication number CN219683190U. This equipment uses a mechanical clamping mechanism to hold the aluminum pot in place, horizontally feeding it into the drying chamber, where a hot air system dries the coating. Its clamping assembly includes adjustable grippers and a locking device connected to a pull rope. Operation requires manual pulling of the pull rope to clamp and release the pot, making it suitable for aluminum pots of different diameters.

[0004] While the design can meet basic drying requirements, its workflow has significant drawbacks: after drying, operators must manually pull the rope to release the clamp, and the surface temperature of the aluminum pot immediately after drying is typically above 150°C. At this point, the rope is also at a high temperature due to heat conduction. To avoid burns, operators must wear heat-resistant gloves to handle the material, which not only increases the complexity of the operation but also poses a safety hazard due to gloves slipping off. Furthermore, frequent manual intervention reduces production efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is the risk of burns from high temperatures during manual operation. This utility model provides a coating drying device for aluminum pot processing, which aims to solve the above-mentioned problem.

[0006] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve the above-mentioned technical problems is as follows: a coating drying device for aluminum pot processing, including a base, a placement platform connected to the front side of the base for placing aluminum pots, a drying chamber installed on the rear side of the base, a moving component for conveying aluminum pots between the front side of the base and the drying chamber, a rotating shaft rotatably connected to the bottom of the moving component, an operating box connected to the bottom of the rotating shaft, a drive gear connected in the middle of the rotating shaft, a first rack connected to one side of the drying chamber, the drive gear meshing with the first rack, a second rack slidably connected to the top plate of the operating box, the second rack being U-shaped in shape, two gear shafts rotatably connected inside the operating box, the racks on the inner sides of both ends of the second rack meshing with the sides of the two gear shafts that are separated, a clamping plate connected to the middle of each gear shaft for clamping the aluminum pot, and a discharge component for non-contact ejection of the aluminum pots provided on the placement platform.

[0007] A further preferred embodiment of this utility model is as follows: the discharge assembly includes a counterweight, a top rod, a push plate, a connecting rod, and a pull rod. The counterweight is connected to the second rack. The top rod is connected to the rear side of the front end of the moving assembly. The top rod is in a pressing fit with the second rack. A groove is opened on the top of the placement platform. A push plate is connected to the front side of the operation box for pushing the aluminum pot to move in the initial stage. The bottom of the connecting rod is slidably connected to the groove of the placement platform. A pull rod is connected to the top of the connecting rod, and the pull rod surrounds the aluminum pot.

[0008] A further preferred embodiment of this utility model is as follows: it also includes a fixed plate and a pressing rod. The left and right sides of the front end of the moving component are connected to two fixed plates together with the front side of the drying chamber. The pressing rod is connected to the adjacent side of the two fixed plates, and the pressing rod is pressed and engaged with the left and right sides of the operating box.

[0009] A further preferred embodiment of this utility model is: it also includes a slide bar, and the slide bar is connected to the adjacent side of the two extrusion rods.

[0010] A further preferred embodiment of this utility model is: it also includes an anti-scratch pad, and the top of the placement platform is connected to the anti-scratch pad.

[0011] A further preferred embodiment of this utility model is: it also includes an identification card, with the identification card connected to the center of the top surface of the placement platform.

[0012] A further preferred embodiment of this utility model is: it also includes an anti-slip sleeve, and the right end of the pull rod is rotatably connected to the anti-slip sleeve.

[0013] A further preferred embodiment of this utility model is: it also includes a roller, and the roller is rotatably connected to the middle of the second rack.

[0014] Compared with existing technologies, the advantages of this invention are as follows: Through the linkage of the counterweight, the second rack, and the gear shaft, the counterweight's gravity drives the second rack downwards, while the inclined surfaces of the push rod and roller push the second rack upwards. This allows the operating box to automatically trigger the clamping plate to hold or release the aluminum pot during movement, preventing workers from contacting it and avoiding direct contact with the high-temperature clamping components, thus eliminating the risk of burns. Workers pull the lever using the anti-slip sleeve, and the lever and connecting rod slide along the groove, thereby driving the connecting rod to push the aluminum pot out from the bottom of the clamping plate and slide it to the cooling area. The entire process eliminates the need for bare hands to touch the high-temperature aluminum pot, and the anti-scratch pad further isolates heat conduction, ensuring safe material handling.

[0023] The preferred embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that these descriptions are merely descriptive and exemplary and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0024] It should be noted that similar labels in the following figures indicate similar items; therefore, once an item is defined in one figure, it may not be further defined and explained in subsequent figures.

[0025] This embodiment mainly describes the structure of the coating dryer, as follows:

[0026] A coating drying device for aluminum pot processing, such as Figures 1-6 As shown, the assembly includes a base 1, a placement platform 101, a drying chamber 2, a moving component 3, a drive gear 4, a first rack 41, a rotating shaft 5, an operation box 6, a clamping plate 7, a gear shaft 8, a second rack 9, and a discharge component. The placement platform 101 is connected to the front of the base 1 and is used to place an aluminum pot 102. The drying chamber 2 is installed at the rear of the base 1. A moving component 3 for conveying the aluminum pot 102 is located between the front of the base 1 and the drying chamber 2. A rotating shaft 5 is rotatably connected to the bottom of the moving component 3, and the operation box 6 is connected to the bottom of the rotating shaft 5. The rotating shaft 5 has a central section... A drive gear 4 is connected to the drying chamber 2. A first rack 41 is connected to one side of the drying chamber 2. The drive gear 4 meshes with the first rack 41. A second rack 9 is slidably connected to the top plate of the operation box 6. The second rack 9 is in the shape of an inverted "U". Two gear shafts 8 are rotatably connected inside the operation box 6. The racks on the inner sides of both ends of the second rack 9 mesh with the sides of the two gear shafts 8 that are separated from each other. A clamping plate 7 is connected to the middle of each gear shaft 8. The clamping plate 7 is used to clamp the aluminum pot 102. A discharge assembly for non-contact ejection of the aluminum pot 102 is provided on the placement table 101.

[0027] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, the discharge assembly includes a counterweight 10, a push rod 11, a push plate 12, a connecting rod 14, and a pull rod 15. The counterweight 10 is connected to the second rack 9. The push rod 11 is connected to the rear side of the front end of the moving assembly 3. The push rod 11 is pressed and engaged with the second rack 9. The top of the placement platform 101 has a sliding groove 13. The front side of the operation box 6 is connected to the push plate 12, which is used to push the aluminum pot 102 to move in the initial stage. The bottom of the connecting rod 14 is slidably connected to the sliding groove 13 of the placement platform 101. The top of the connecting rod 14 is connected to the pull rod 15. The pull rod 15 surrounds the aluminum pot 102. The cross-sectional area of ​​the bottom of the connecting rod 14 is larger than that of the top, which ensures the stability of the connecting rod 14 sliding in the sliding groove 13 and can support the pull rod 15.

[0028] like Figure 1 and Figure 6As shown, it also includes a fixed plate 16 and a pressing rod 17. The front left and right sides of the moving component 3 are connected to two fixed plates 16 together with the front side of the drying chamber 2. The pressing rod 17 is connected to the adjacent side of the two fixed plates 16. The pressing rod 17 is pressed and engaged with the left and right sides of the operating box 6.

[0029] like Figure 6 As shown, it also includes a slide bar 18. The slide bar 18 is connected to the adjacent side of the two pressing rods 17. The slide bar 18 is made of a low friction coefficient material. When the operating box 6 is reset outward, its side wall slides in contact with the surface of the slide bar 18. The slide bar 18 restricts the lateral displacement of the operating box 6 through a smooth linear guide surface. At the same time, it reduces the sliding resistance by reducing the contact area, avoiding jamming caused by uneven resistance during the reset process, and improving the reliability of continuous operation of the equipment.

[0030] like Figure 5 As shown, it also includes an anti-scratch pad 19. The top of the placement platform 101 is connected to the anti-scratch pad 19, which is made of high-temperature resistant silicone material. When the aluminum pot 102 is placed, its bottom is in soft contact with the anti-scratch pad 19. The pad disperses the pressure through elastic deformation. At the same time, the heat insulation layer blocks the heat conduction between the placement platform 101 and the aluminum pot 102. The soft surface prevents the coating of the aluminum pot 102 from directly rubbing against the hard metal of the placement platform 101, thus preventing scratches or wear.

[0031] like Figure 5 As shown, it also includes an identification card 20. The identification card 20 is connected to the center of the top surface of the placement platform 101. The ring-shaped identification card 20 is used to indicate the placement area of ​​the aluminum pot and guide the operator to accurately place the aluminum pot 102 to ensure that the center of the aluminum pot 102 is aligned with the axis of the clamping mechanism.

[0032] like Figure 5 As shown, it also includes an anti-slip sleeve 21. The right end of the pull rod 15 is rotatably connected to the anti-slip sleeve 21, which is made of rubber or silicone. The surface is designed with dense anti-slip particles or stripes to increase the coefficient of friction and prevent slipping. It also prevents the pull rod 15 from slipping out of your hand due to sweaty or oily hands, and the soft touch reduces hand fatigue.

[0033] like Figure 4 As shown, it also includes a roller 22. The roller 22 is rotatably connected to the middle of the second rack 9. When the inclined surface of the push rod 11 pushes the second rack 9 to move upward, the roller 22 rolls into contact with the inclined surface of the push rod 11, replacing the traditional sliding friction mode. This avoids surface scratches or metal fatigue caused by sliding friction, reduces the maintenance frequency of the push rod 11 and the second rack 9, and the rotation of the roller 22 makes the upward movement of the second rack 9 more stable.

[0034] The operator opens the drying chamber 2, places the aluminum pot 102 on the placement platform 101, positioning it in the center of the identification card 20, and then activates the moving component 3. The moving component 3 drives the rotating shaft 5 and the operating box 6 to move into the drying chamber 2. At this time, the top rod 11 contacts the second rack 9, forcing the second rack 9 to remain in an elevated state, thus keeping the two clamping plates 7 in an open position, not in contact with the aluminum pot 102. The push plate 12 moves with the operating box 6, its front end pushing the aluminum pot 102 to slide towards the drying chamber on the placement platform 101. After the aluminum pot 102 is pushed to the predetermined position, the operating box 6 continues to move, causing the second rack 9 to disengage from the top rod 11. The counterweight 10 then presses down on the second rack 9, causing the second rack 9 to mesh with the two gear shafts 8, driving the two gear shafts 8 to rotate towards the center, causing the two clamping plates 7 to clamp the aluminum pot 102. After the clamping plates 7 abut against both sides of the aluminum pot 102, they prevent the gear shafts 8 from continuing to rotate, thereby limiting the second rack 9 and the counterweight 10 from falling. At this point, the aluminum pot 102 is fixed by the clamping plate 7, and the push plate 12 no longer plays a major role. Subsequently, the operating box 6 carries the clamped aluminum pot 102 into the drying chamber 2. After the drive gear 4 enters the drying chamber 2, the drive gear 4 meshes with the first rack 41. As the moving component 3 pushes the drive gear 4 into the drying chamber 2, the drive gear 4 rotates through the first rack 41, thereby causing the operating box 6 and the clamping plate 7 to rotate counterclockwise around the rotating shaft 5. The aluminum pot 102 rotates and dries, optimizing the drying effect. After drying is completed, the moving component 3 drives the operating box 6 to move forward and leave the drying chamber 2.

[0035] While the drive gear 4 moves forward, it remains engaged with the first rack 41, driving the operating box 6 and clamping plate 7 to rotate clockwise, causing the operating box 6 to rotate and reset. After moving forward a certain distance, the operating box 6 contacts the pressing rod 17. The inclined surface of the pressing rod 17 guides the operating box 6 back to its original position, thereby eliminating the influence of the clearance between the drive gear 4 and the first rack 41 on the angular displacement of the operating box 6. The slide bar 18 on the inner side of the pressing rod 17 ensures smooth sliding of the operating box 6. When the operating box 6 is about to reset, the end of the push rod 11 is inserted between the second rack 9 and the operating box 6. The roller 22 in the middle contacts the inclined surface of the top rod 11, changing the sliding friction into rolling friction. The inclined surface of the top rod 11 pushes the second rack 9 to move upward, thereby causing the gear shaft 8 meshing with the second rack 9 to rotate, causing the clamping plate 7 to release the aluminum pot 102. The aluminum pot 102 is then released and placed on the anti-friction pad 19 of the placement table 101. Subsequently, the operator pushes the pull rod 15 backward, and the connecting rod 14 moves along the slide groove 13, pushing the aluminum pot 102 out from the bottom of the clamping plate 7. Then, the pull rod 15 is pulled to the right, and the connecting rod 14 drives the aluminum pot 102 to slide to the right edge of the placement table 101. At this time, the dried aluminum pot 102 is located in this cooling zone. Place the aluminum pot 102 to be dried into the identification card 20 and proceed with the drying of the next aluminum pot 102. During the drying process, the aluminum pot 102 on the table 101 is cooled. After cooling, the aluminum pot 102 is removed, the pull rod 15 is pushed, and the connecting rod 14 slides back along the slide groove 13. This process is repeated to continue processing.

[0036] The anti-scratch pad 19 serves as heat insulation, reducing heat transfer to the placement platform 101. At the same time, its soft surface prevents the coating of the aluminum pot 102 from being scratched by friction on the top surface of the placement platform 101.
