Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of down drying technology, and in particular relates to a down drying device. Background Technology
[0002] Down is often used as a raw material for making warm clothing. Since down needs to be washed before processing, it needs to be dried using a drying device after washing.
[0003] Chinese patent CN221724777U discloses a down drying device, relating to the field of down processing technology. The device includes a drying cylinder with legs at its bottom and a drying mechanism located inside the drying cylinder. The drying mechanism includes a hot air blower installed at the middle of the bottom of the drying cylinder and an air collecting box fixed to the inner bottom wall of the drying cylinder. The output end of the hot air blower is connected to the interior of the air collecting box. A hollow rotating shaft is rotatably connected to the top of the air collecting box, and multiple hollow folding rods are fixedly connected to the outer side of the hollow rotating shaft.
[0004] However, the aforementioned patents have the following problems:
[0005] The aforementioned patent uses interconnected hollow rotating shafts, multiple hollow folded rods, and hollow spheres to stir and separate the down in the drying drum under the drive of a motor, thereby preventing the down from clumping together and hindering drying. However, after drying one batch of down, the down in the drying drum needs to be cleaned before the next batch of down can be added for drying, making it impossible to continuously dry the down. Furthermore, it requires frequent filling and unloading of down, thus reducing the efficiency of the device. Utility Model Content
[0006] This utility model provides a down drying device, which aims to solve the problem that the above-mentioned patent requires cleaning the down in the drying cylinder after drying a batch of down before adding the next batch of down to the drying cylinder for drying, thus making it impossible to continuously dry down and requiring frequent filling and unloading of down, thereby reducing the efficiency of the device.
[0007] This utility model is implemented as follows: a down drying device includes a shell, a support frame is fixedly connected to the side wall of the shell, a feeding chamber is connected to the top of the shell, a discharging chamber is connected to the bottom of the shell, a rotating component is provided inside the shell, and multiple drying chambers are opened on the outer periphery of the rotating component.
[0008] A conveying mechanism is provided between the rotating component and the housing, and the conveying mechanism is used to transport down from the feed hopper to the discharge hopper;
[0009] The rotating component is equipped with a stirring mechanism, which is used to break up the down in multiple drying chambers;
[0010] The housing is equipped with a drying mechanism, which is used to dry the down feathers in multiple drying chambers.
[0011] Preferably, the conveying mechanism includes a stepper motor, the side wall of the stepper motor is fixedly connected to the housing, the output shaft of the stepper motor is fixedly connected to a rotating shaft, a rotating component is disposed through the middle of the rotating shaft, the rotating shaft is fixedly connected to the rotating component, and the end of the rotating shaft away from the stepper motor is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the housing;
[0012] By starting the stepper motor, the rotating parts can be driven to rotate, and the rotating parts will drive multiple drying chambers to rotate synchronously. During this process, the multiple drying chambers will cycle back and forth between the feeding chamber and the discharging chamber. Down is fed into the feeding chamber, and the down will fall into the top drying chamber under the action of gravity. When the drying chamber rotates to the bottom, the down in the drying chamber will fall into the discharging chamber and be discharged. The down can be transported between the feeding chamber and the discharging chamber in the above way.
[0013] Preferably, the stirring mechanism includes a fixed toothed ring and a rotating rod, the fixed toothed ring is disposed inside the housing, and a plurality of connecting rods are fixedly connected between the fixed toothed ring and the inner wall of the housing;
[0014] The number of rotating rods is the same as the number of drying chambers. Multiple rotating rods are respectively arranged in multiple drying chambers. One end of each rotating rod is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the multiple drying chambers. The other end of each rotating rod extends to the outside of the rotating part. Multiple stirring rods are fixedly connected to the outer periphery of each rotating rod. A rotating gear is fixedly connected to one end of each rotating rod extending to the outside of the rotating part. The multiple rotating gears are meshed with a fixed gear ring.
[0015] During the rotation of the rotating part, multiple rotating gears will rotate synchronously. At the same time, multiple rotating gears will rotate relative to the fixed gear ring. Since multiple rotating gears are meshed with the fixed gear ring, multiple rotating gears will also rotate on their own axis during the rotation around the fixed gear ring.
[0016] While rotating, the multiple rotating gears will drive multiple rotating rods to rotate in multiple drying chambers. The multiple rotating rods rotating in the drying chambers will drive multiple stirring rods on their outer periphery to rotate in the drying chamber, and disperse the down in the drying chamber.
[0017] Preferably, the drying mechanism includes an air inlet pipe, an air outlet pipe, an air inlet screen, and an air outlet screen, with one end of the housing connected to the air inlet pipe and the other end of the housing connected to the air outlet pipe;
[0018] The air inlet screen is provided in multiple ways, and the multiple air inlet screens are respectively arranged on one side of the multiple drying chambers. The number of air outlet screens is provided in multiple ways, and the multiple air outlet screens are respectively arranged on the other side of the multiple drying chambers.
[0019] Connecting the air inlet pipe to an external hot air blower allows hot air from the blower to be drawn into the housing. The hot air then passes through the air inlet screens on one side of each drying chamber and enters the drying chambers. The hot air from the drying chambers is then discharged through the air outlet screens. Finally, the hot air is exhausted through the air outlet pipe. During this process, the hot air passing through the drying chambers dries the down feathers inside.
[0020] Preferably, the rotating component has a protective cover on its side wall, and multiple connecting rods pass through the protective cover and are fixedly connected to the protective cover. The protective cover is matched with multiple rotating gears and fixed gear rings.
[0021] By setting up protective covers, multiple rotating gears and fixed gear rings can be covered, thereby preventing down from entering between the rotating gears and fixed gear rings and causing them to jam.
[0022] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0023] By coordinating the conveying mechanism, the mixing mechanism, and the drying mechanism, the down can be broken up and dried during the conveying process. This allows the feeding, drying, breaking up, and discharging of down to be carried out continuously, without having to wait for one batch of down to be dried before the next batch can be dried. This reduces the filling steps for feeding and discharging down, thereby improving the drying efficiency of down. Attached Figure Description

[0040] The rotating part 14 is equipped with a stirring mechanism 3, which is used to break up the down in multiple drying chambers 15.
[0041] The housing 1 is equipped with a drying mechanism 4, which is used to dry the down in multiple drying chambers 15.
[0042] Furthermore, the conveying mechanism 2 includes a stepper motor 21, the side wall of the stepper motor 21 is fixedly connected to the housing 1, the output shaft of the stepper motor 21 is fixedly connected to a rotating shaft 22, the rotating shaft 22 is disposed through the rotating member 14 in the middle, the rotating shaft 22 is fixedly connected to the rotating member 14, and the end of the rotating shaft 22 away from the stepper motor 21 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the housing 1.
[0043] Furthermore, the stirring mechanism 3 includes a fixed toothed ring 31 and a rotating rod 32. The fixed toothed ring 31 is disposed inside the housing 1, and multiple connecting rods 33 are fixedly connected between the fixed toothed ring 31 and the inner wall of the housing 1.
[0044] The number of rotating rods 32 is the same as the number of drying chambers 15. Multiple rotating rods 32 are respectively arranged in multiple drying chambers 15. One end of multiple rotating rods 32 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of multiple drying chambers 15, and the other end of multiple rotating rods 32 extends to the outside of rotating component 14. Multiple stirring rods 34 are fixedly connected to the outer periphery of multiple rotating rods 32. A rotating gear 35 is fixedly connected to one end of multiple rotating rods 32 extending to the outside of rotating component 14. Multiple rotating gears 35 are meshed with fixed gear rings 31.
[0045] Furthermore, the drying mechanism 4 includes an air inlet pipe 41, an air outlet pipe 42, an air inlet screen 43, and an air outlet screen 44. One end of the housing 1 is connected to the air inlet pipe 41, and the other end of the housing 1 is connected to the air outlet pipe 42.
[0046] Multiple air inlet screens 43 are provided, and the multiple air inlet screens 43 are respectively set on one side of multiple drying chambers 15. Multiple air outlet screens 44 are provided, and the multiple air outlet screens 44 are respectively set on the other side of multiple drying chambers 15.

[0048] The working principle and usage process of this utility model: After the utility model is installed, the stepper motor 21 can drive the rotating part 14 to rotate.

During this process, the hot air passing through the drying chambers 15 dries the down feathers inside the drying chambers 15.
[0052] The housing 1 is also equipped with a battery and a control button. The battery powers the drive unit of this device, while the control button is used to control the drive unit of this device to operate.
