Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of air knife technology, and in particular to a movable air knife device. Background Technology

[0002] In industrial production, air knives, as highly efficient airflow control devices, are widely used in key processes such as material surface drying, debris removal, and high-temperature product cooling. Their core principle is to generate a layered, high-speed airflow using a high-pressure fan, creating a cutting effect similar to an "air knife," which can replace traditional mechanical scrapers for non-contact processing.

[0003] However, existing air knife devices are typically fixedly installed on one side or above the conveyor line to remove residual moisture, dust, or impurities from the workpiece surface. This results in a lack of flexibility in adjusting the blowing position according to workpieces of different specifications, sizes, or shapes, easily leading to problems such as limited blowing position and poor blowing effect. Currently, no effective solution has been proposed to address these issues. Utility Model Content

For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral structure; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium, or an internal connection between two devices, components, or parts. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of these terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0035] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in this application can be combined with each other. This application will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0036] like Figure 1-6 As shown, this application relates to a movable air knife device. Figure 1-5 As shown, the movable air knife device includes a trough 10; the trough 10 is a component with a receiving function, which can ensure a good receiving effect, thereby achieving multiple functions. The shape of the trough 10 can be a cuboid or a cube, which can be adjusted according to the application, and is not limited in this application.

[0037] The drive telescopic component 20 is disposed on one side of the groove 10 along a first direction, and at least its output end is located inside the groove 10; it can achieve a good driving effect, thereby enabling the directional movement of other components. Here, the first direction refers to the horizontal direction.

[0038] Two air knife telescopic components 30 are symmetrically arranged on one side of the groove 10 about the drive telescopic component 20 along the first direction, and at least their output ends are located inside the groove 10; this can achieve a good movement effect of the air knife 40. At the same time, the use of two sets of air knife telescopic components 30 can ensure the smooth movement of the air knife 40, thereby ensuring a good blowing effect.

[0039] The air knife 40 is connected to the output ends of the drive telescopic assembly 20 and the two air knife telescopic assemblies 30 respectively; it can achieve a good blowing effect, thereby achieving a good cleaning or washing effect.

[0040] The air knife 40 is driven to move directionally within the tank 10 by the drive telescopic assembly 20 and the two air knife telescopic assemblies 30, so that the air knife 40 acts on the product to be treated at multiple points. By driving the air knife 40 to move in the horizontal direction, multiple positions of the components within the tank 10 can be cleaned or washed, thereby improving cleaning efficiency.

[0041] As can be seen from the above description, this application achieves the following technical effects:

[0042] In this embodiment, the air knife 40 is movable. The drive telescopic assembly 20 and the two air knife telescopic assemblies 30 drive the air knife 40 to move directionally within the trough 10, so that the air knife 40 acts on the product to be processed at multiple points, achieving the purpose of blowing air at multiple positions. This achieves the technical effect of flexibly adjusting the blowing position and improving the blowing efficiency. It also solves the technical problem that existing air knife 40 devices are usually fixedly installed on one side or above the conveyor line to remove residual moisture, dust or impurities on the surface of the workpiece, which makes it impossible to flexibly adjust the blowing position according to workpieces of different specifications, sizes or shapes, and easily causes the blowing position to be limited and the blowing effect to be poor.

[0043] Furthermore, the bottom height of the tank 10 decreases from both sides towards the center. This allows water stains or dirt to move towards the center of the tank 10, achieving automatic confluence and facilitating cleaning.

[0044] Furthermore, the bottom height of the tank 10 on the side away from the drive telescopic assembly 20 decreases towards the drive telescopic assembly 20. This allows for further directional flow, thereby improving the ease of cleaning.

[0045] Furthermore, the tank 10 has a water outlet 101 on the side near the drive telescopic assembly 20, and the water outlet 101 is located at the center of the tank 10 and near its bottom. This allows for directional drainage.

[0046] Furthermore, a plurality of support frames 102 are provided at the bottom of the tank 10. It is understood that this provides good support, thereby ensuring the stable support of the tank 10.

[0047] Furthermore, the drive telescopic assembly 20 includes a first drive component 201 connected to one side of the groove 10, the output end of which is connected to the center of the air knife 40. This ensures a stable drive effect, thereby enabling the air knife 40 to move precisely.

[0048] Furthermore, the air knife telescopic assembly 30 includes a pneumatic assembly 301 connected to one side of the groove 10, the output end of which is connected to the air knife 40. It is understood that this enables good control of the air knife 40.

[0049] like Figure 6As shown, the air knife 40 includes: a knife holder 401, end plates 402 at both ends of the knife holder 401, and a baffle 403 connected to each side of the knife holder 401. The two baffles 403 form a gradually narrowing air channel. The knife holder 401 and the end plates 402 constitute an air cavity, which is connected to the gradually narrowing air channel. It is understood that this allows for a good airflow effect.

[0050] Furthermore, two baffles 404 are provided near the end of the gradually narrowing air duct. The two baffles 404 are arranged opposite each other to form a first air outlet channel 405. A notch 406 is provided on the side of the two baffles 404 near the first air outlet channel 405. It can be understood that by providing the baffles 404, the size of the air outlet 407 can be changed, thereby improving the air outlet effect. At the same time, the notch 406 allows for unobstructed airflow and also enables cooperation with other components.

[0051] Furthermore, an air outlet 407 is provided adjacent to the first air outlet channel 405 on the baffle 403. The baffle 403 and the two baffles 404 enclose a pressure-boosting chamber 408, and the cross-sectional width of the air outlet 407 is smaller than the cross-sectional width of the first air outlet channel 405. It can be understood that by enclosing and forming the pressure-boosting chamber 408, the air pressure can be increased, thereby effectively acting on the workpiece surface and improving the cleaning effect. Simultaneously, the smaller cross-sectional width of the air outlet 407 compared to the first air outlet channel 405 further increases the air outlet rate, thereby improving the cleaning effect.

[0052] The preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to the specific details of the above embodiments. Within the scope of the technical concept of the present invention, various equivalent transformations can be made to the technical solutions of the present invention, and all such equivalent transformations fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
