Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of furniture manufacturing technology, specifically to a drying rack for furniture manufacturing. Background Technology

[0002] Wood board processing is the processing of wood as raw material, mainly using mechanical or chemical methods. There are many types of wood boards, mainly divided into solid wood boards, plywood, and particleboard. The first step in plywood processing is to process logs into wood chips. Freshly cut wood chips are not dry and must be dried before they can be used as raw materials for plywood.

[0003] A search revealed Chinese Patent Publication No. CN 221549151 U, published on August 16, 2024, which discloses a drying rack for furniture manufacturing. The paper describes a "main body and drying mechanism, wherein the main body includes a base, a pair of first support rods are fixedly installed on one side of the upper end face of the base, and a pair of second support rods are fixedly installed on the other side of the upper end face of the base." After the device dries the raw solid wood boards, only one raw solid wood board can be unloaded manually at a time, which affects the working efficiency of the device. In view of this, in-depth research was conducted to address the above problems, which led to this case. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a drying rack for furniture manufacturing to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a drying rack for furniture manufacturing, comprising an outer shell, fixing ports and a sealing cover, wherein the outer shell has multiple fixing ports on both sides, and the outer walls of the outer shell are connected to the sealing cover via a first rotating shaft, a rotating device is installed inside the outer shell, and a fan is installed on the rear side of the rotating device;

[0006] The rotating device includes a first support plate, a second rotating shaft, and a plate body. Multiple first support plates are provided inside the outer casing. The two sides of each first support plate are connected to the plate body via the second rotating shaft. The outer side of the lower part of the plate body is connected to a wheel via a third rotating shaft. The wheel is located inside a sliding groove, which is located inside the second support plate. The outer side of the second support plate is connected to the inner wall of the outer casing. A connecting plate is installed between two first support plates. Cylinders are installed on both sides below the lower first support plate, and a baffle is installed above the upper first support plate.

[0007] Preferably, the outer shell and the fixing port are integrated, and the sealing cover and the fixing port are correspondingly arranged.

[0008] Preferably, the middle position of the first support plate, the middle position of the baffle, and the middle position between the two side plates are on the same horizontal line.

[0009] Preferably, the upper first support plate is fixedly connected to the baffle, and the lower first support plate is fixedly connected to the cylinder.

[0010] Preferably, the second rotating shaft is rotatably connected to the plate.

[0011] Preferably, the plate body and the third rotating shaft are rotatably connected.

[0012] Preferably, the wheel and the slide are slidably connected, and the slide and the second support plate are integrally formed.

[0013] Preferably, the second support plate is fixedly connected to the outer shell, and the plate body and the fixing port are correspondingly provided.

[0014] Preferably, the baffle, plate body, and connecting plate are all provided with ventilation mesh.

[0015] Compared with existing technologies, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0016] By setting up a first support plate, a second rotating shaft, and a board body, the operator pushes the raw solid wood board horizontally through the fixed opening. The board automatically slides into the working position along the 15° inclined guide plate of the board body. Above the board body, the sealing cover automatically closes through the first rotating shaft (torque spring coefficient 5N·m / rad), increasing the sealing performance of the device. Next, the fan is started to air-dry the raw solid wood board, and the ventilation network of the board body, baffle, and connecting plate ensures uniform airflow. Then, the cylinder is started to push the lower first support plate upward, and multiple upper first support plates connected by the connecting plate are raised synchronously. Under the action of the second rotating shaft, the board body forms a 25° unloading slope, and the board slides out of the device along the board body and the fixed opening, making it convenient for the device to unload the air-dried raw solid wood board.
