Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of drying devices, and in particular to a maintenance and drying device. Background Technology
[0002] In art creation, the drying process is a crucial step in completing a work, as the drying method and rate directly affect the final artistic expression and preservation value of the piece. This is especially true for professional artworks, where the drying method and rate can influence color saturation, surface texture, and the stability of the substrate material.
[0003] In related technologies, when drying artworks artificially using non-natural drying methods, air-drying or oven-drying devices are often employed. Air-drying typically uses electric fans or hair dryers to accelerate airflow around the artwork, causing surface moisture to evaporate quickly. Oven-drying, on the other hand, uses dryers or drying ovens to heat the air around the artwork, rapidly evaporating surface moisture. Air-drying can lead to uneven drying in different areas of the artwork, while oven-drying can cause the side of the artwork closest to the drying component to overheat, which are drawbacks of these technologies. Utility Model Content
[0004] In view of this, the present invention aims to provide a curing and drying device to help effectively ensure the overall quality of the work after drying.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of this utility model is implemented as follows:
[0006] A curing and drying device, comprising:
[0007] The box body is provided with a partition, which divides the box body into a temperature control chamber and a drying chamber.
[0008] The temperature control chamber is provided with a temperature control unit, which can adjust the gas temperature inside the temperature control chamber; the drying chamber is provided with a drying unit, which can dry the gas inside the drying chamber.
[0009] An airflow guide unit is provided, which enables the gas in the temperature control chamber to flow through the drying chamber and then circulate back into the temperature control chamber.
[0010] Furthermore, the drying chamber is provided with a support member arranged at intervals from the partition plate, the support member being used to support the work to be dried; the support member is provided with a ventilation cavity penetrating the two symmetrical sides of the support member, and a through hole is opened on the bearing surface of the support member, the through hole communicating with the ventilation cavity; and / or, a plurality of the through holes are evenly distributed on the bearing surface.
[0011] Furthermore, the airflow guiding part includes an air inlet, an air outlet, and a blower on the partition plate. The blower is located at the air inlet so that the gas in the temperature control chamber flows from the air inlet to the drying chamber.
[0012] Furthermore, the airflow guiding part also includes an air duct disposed at the air outlet end of the blower, and the air duct is connected to the ventilation cavity.
[0013] Furthermore, along the gas flow direction of the ventilation cavity, the flow area of each part of the ventilation cavity is the same; the flow area of the air duct is larger than the flow area of the ventilation cavity.
[0014] Furthermore, along the flow direction of the gas within the air duct, the flow area of the air duct gradually decreases.
[0015] Furthermore, a guide plate is provided inside the drying chamber. The guide plate is located on the side of the support member away from the air duct and can guide the gas in the ventilation chamber to flow above the support member.
[0016] Furthermore, the drying section is located at the air outlet so that the gas flowing between the temperature control chamber and the drying chamber can pass through the drying section.
[0017] Furthermore, a temperature detection unit is provided in the temperature control chamber and / or the drying chamber to monitor the gas temperature inside the chamber; a humidity detection unit is provided in the drying chamber.
[0018] Furthermore, the drying section includes: a drying chamber, the body of which has multiple ventilation holes and is inserted into the air outlet; and an adsorbent, which fills the drying chamber and is capable of drying the gas inside the chamber.
[0019] Compared with the prior art, this utility model has the following advantages:
[0020] The curing and drying equipment described in this utility model regulates the temperature of the gas inside the temperature control chamber during the curing and drying process. The gas flows from the temperature control chamber to the drying chamber, thus regulating the temperature of the gas flowing into the drying chamber. This increased temperature facilitates the evaporation of moisture from the artwork, while the drying section simultaneously dries the air within the drying chamber, further regulating the rate of moisture evaporation from the artwork. Furthermore, the partition effectively prevents the temperature control unit inside the chamber from directly baking the artwork, and the airflow guide ensures better contact between the artwork and the flowing air, improving the drying consistency across different areas of the artwork and thus effectively guaranteeing the overall quality of the dried artwork.
[0021] Secondly, by creating ventilation chambers and through-holes connecting to them, the back of the artwork to be dried can come into contact with the flowing airflow, further increasing the drying speed and reducing the drying time. Furthermore, arranging the support components and partitions at intervals facilitates gas circulation around the support components, improving gas circulation within the ventilation chambers. Additionally, by evenly distributing multiple through-holes on the support surface, different parts of the artwork can come into contact with the airflow, further improving the drying consistency across different areas and effectively ensuring the overall quality of the dried artwork.
[0022] Simultaneously, the gas in the temperature control chamber is directly introduced into the ventilation chamber by the blower, which helps to increase the gas circulation speed within the ventilation chamber. Since the through-hole is connected to the carrier, this effectively improves the airflow on the back of the artwork to be dried, thereby enhancing the drying consistency between the surface and back of the artwork and helping to effectively ensure the overall quality of the dried artwork. Furthermore, the connection between the air duct and the ventilation chamber allows for the connection between the air duct and the carrier, enabling the carrier to be positioned within the drying chamber at intervals between partitions, eliminating the need for other components to support the carrier.
[0023] In addition, when the gas in the ventilation cavity flows out of the carrier, it will come into contact with the guide plate and be guided by the guide plate to the top of the carrier, so as to form an airflow above the carrier, thereby increasing the drying speed of the artwork to be dried above the carrier and helping to effectively ensure the overall quality of the artwork after drying.

Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model in light of the specific circumstances.
[0041] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0042] This embodiment relates to a curing and drying device to help effectively ensure the overall quality of the artwork after drying.
[0043] In terms of overall structure, such as Figures 1 to 3As shown, the maintenance and drying equipment includes a housing 1 and an airflow guide 4; a partition 101 is provided inside the housing 1, dividing the housing 1 into a temperature control chamber 1a and a drying chamber 1b; a temperature control unit 2 is provided inside the temperature control chamber 1a, which can adjust the gas temperature inside the temperature control chamber 1a; a drying unit 3 is provided inside the drying chamber 1b, which can dry the gas inside the drying chamber 1b; the airflow guide 4 can cause the gas in the temperature control chamber 1a to flow through the drying chamber 1b and then circulate back into the temperature control chamber 1a.
[0044] With the above setup, during the drying process of the artwork, the temperature of the gas in the temperature control chamber 1a is adjusted by the temperature control unit 2. The gas flows from the temperature control chamber 1a to the drying chamber 1b, thus regulating the temperature of the gas flowing into the drying chamber 1b. This increased temperature helps the moisture in the artwork to be dried to evaporate. Simultaneously, the drying unit 3 dries the air in the drying chamber 1b, which helps regulate the rate of moisture evaporation from the artwork. Furthermore, the partition 101 effectively prevents the temperature control unit 2 inside the chamber 1 from directly baking the artwork, and, with the help of the airflow guide unit 4, ensures better contact between the artwork and the flowing air. This helps improve the drying consistency of different areas of the artwork, thereby effectively ensuring the overall quality of the artwork after drying.
[0045] Based on the above overview, it can be understood that, in order to further improve the heat insulation effect of the partition 101 in this embodiment, the partition 101 is coated with an aluminum film, glass microspheres and other coatings on one side of the temperature control cavity 1a, so as to reduce the direct heat transfer to the drying cavity 1b by reflecting heat.
[0046] To facilitate gas flow within the drying chamber 1b, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the drying chamber 1b is provided with a support member 5 arranged at intervals from the partition 101. The support member 5 is used to support the work to be dried. The support member 5 is provided with a ventilation cavity 5a that penetrates the two symmetrical sides of the support member 5, and a through hole 5c is opened on the bearing surface 5b of the support member 5. The through hole 5c communicates with the ventilation cavity 5a. Furthermore, multiple through holes 5c are evenly distributed on the bearing surface 5b.
[0047] By creating ventilation chamber 5a and through holes 5c that communicate with it, the back of the artwork to be dried can come into contact with the flowing airflow, thereby increasing the drying speed and reducing the drying time. Furthermore, the spaced arrangement of the support member 5 and the partition plate 101 facilitates gas circulation around the support member 5, improving gas circulation within the ventilation chamber 5a. Moreover, by evenly distributing multiple through holes 5c on the support surface 5b, different parts of the artwork to be dried can come into contact with the airflow, further improving the drying consistency across different areas and effectively ensuring the overall quality of the dried artwork.
[0048] It is worth noting that, as an optional implementation of the carrier 5, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in order to facilitate the support member 5 to support the work to be dried, the support surface 5b is a plane. Specifically, the support member 5 can be set as a rectangular plate structure, and after the ventilation cavity 5a is opened, a support platform similar to a rectangular tube is formed.
[0049] As an optional implementation of the airflow guide 4, in this embodiment, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, specifically, the airflow guiding section 4 includes an air inlet 4a, an air outlet 4b, and a blower 401 disposed on the partition 101. The blower 401 is disposed at the air inlet 4a to allow gas in the temperature control chamber 1a to flow from the air inlet 4a to the drying chamber 1b. By including the blower 401 in the airflow guiding section 4, gas in the temperature control chamber 1a is conducted to the drying chamber 1b through the air inlet 4a, and gas in the drying chamber 1b is drawn back into the temperature control chamber 1a through the air outlet 4b, thereby achieving gas circulation between the temperature control chamber 1a and the drying chamber 1b. In this embodiment, the blower 401 can be a blower.
[0050] Furthermore, in order to increase the flow path of gas in the temperature control chamber 1a and the drying chamber 1b, the air inlet 4a and the air outlet 4b are arranged symmetrically about the center of the partition 101.
[0051] Based on the airflow guide 4 including a blower 401, an air inlet 4a and an air outlet 4b, the airflow guide 4 also includes an air duct 402 located at the air outlet end of the blower 401, and the air duct 402 is connected to the ventilation cavity 5a.
[0052] With the above configuration, the gas in the temperature control chamber 1a is directly introduced into the ventilation chamber 5a under the action of the blower 401, which helps to improve the gas circulation speed in the ventilation chamber 5a. Since the through hole 5c is connected to the carrier 5, it helps to effectively improve the airflow on the back of the work to be dried, thereby improving the drying consistency of the surface and back of the work and thus helping to effectively ensure the overall quality of the dried work. At the same time, the air duct 402 is connected to the ventilation chamber 5a, which enables the connection between the air duct 402 and the carrier 5, so that the carrier 5 is placed in the drying chamber 1b with the partition 101 between them, without the need for other components to support the carrier 5. In order to further improve the stability of the carrier 5 in the box 1, the side of the carrier 5 closest to the inner wall of the box 1 can be fixedly connected to the box 1.
[0053] Based on the airflow guiding section 4, including the air duct 402, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the flow area of the air duct 402 gradually decreases along the flow direction of the gas. With the above arrangement, as the flow area of the air duct 402 gradually decreases along the flow direction of the air duct 402, under the condition of a constant blower air volume, the decrease in flow area helps to increase the flow velocity of the gas in the air duct 402.
[0054] Meanwhile, based on the airflow guide 4 including the air duct 402, the flow area of each part of the ventilation cavity 5a is the same along the gas flow direction of the ventilation cavity 5a; the flow area of the air duct 402 is larger than the flow area of the ventilation cavity 5a.
[0055] With the above settings, when the gas flow rate in the air duct 402 is constant, the flow area of the ventilation cavity 5a is smaller than that of the air duct 402, which increases the gas velocity flowing out through the through hole 5c. The increased gas velocity reduces the gas pressure in the carrier 5. This reduced gas pressure helps the gas in the drying cavity 1b to pass through the work to be dried and flow into the ventilation cavity 5a through the through hole 5c. During the process of the gas passing through the work to be dried and flowing into the ventilation cavity 5a, it helps to improve the drying speed of the work to be dried.
[0056] It is understandable that the flow area of the air duct 402 being greater than the flow area of the ventilation cavity 5a means that the flow area at any position in the air duct 402 along the gas flow direction is greater than the flow area of the ventilation cavity 5a.
[0057] Based on the connection between air duct 402 and ventilation cavity 5a and the connection between the load-bearing space, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in order to further improve the flow of gas in the drying chamber 1b, a guide plate 6 is provided in the drying chamber 1b. The guide plate 6 is located on the side of the support member 5 away from the air duct 402 and can guide the gas in the ventilation chamber 5a to flow above the support member 5.
[0058] In this embodiment, the guide plate 6 is configured as an arc-shaped plate structure, with the concave surface of the guide plate 6 facing the end of the support member 5 away from the air duct 402. Thus, when the gas in the ventilation cavity 5a flows out from the support member 5, it will contact the guide plate 6 and be guided by the guide plate 6 to the top of the support member 5, so as to form an airflow above the support member 5, thereby increasing the drying speed of the work to be dried above the support member 5 and helping to effectively ensure the overall quality of the work after drying.
[0059] It is worth noting that, based on the setting of the guide plate 6, in order to increase the flow path of gas in the drying chamber 1b, the guide plate 6 is positioned above the gas outlet 4b. This arrangement helps the gas in the temperature control chamber 1a to circulate within the drying chamber 1b and then flow back to the temperature control chamber 1a through the gas outlet 4b.
[0060] Based on the setting of the air outlet 4b, in order to improve the drying efficiency of the drying section 3 for the circulating gas, the drying section 3 is set at the air outlet 4b so that the gas flowing between the temperature control chamber 1a and the drying chamber 1b can flow through the drying section 3.
[0061] With the above configuration, when the gas flows from the drying chamber 1b to the temperature control chamber 1a through the air outlet 4b under the action of the blower 401, since the drying part 3 is located at the air outlet 4b, the gas flows through the drying part 3 and is dried before flowing into the temperature control chamber 1a, which helps to make the gas flowing from the temperature control chamber 1a to the drying chamber 1b through the air inlet 4a dry gas.
[0062] As an optional specific implementation of the drying section 3, such as Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown in this embodiment, specifically, the drying section 3 includes a drying chamber 301 and an adsorbent 302. The drying chamber 301 has multiple ventilation holes 301a on its body 1 and is inserted into the air outlet 4b. The adsorbent 302 fills the drying chamber 301 and dries the gas inside the body 1. When gas flows through the drying section 3, it passes through the ventilation holes 301a and then through the drying chamber 1b. During this process, the adsorbent 302 filling the drying chamber 301 absorbs moisture from the gas, thus achieving the effect of drying the air inside the body 1.
[0063] It is worth noting that in this embodiment, the adsorbent 302 can be made of water-absorbing materials such as calcium sulfate, calcium chloride, and silica gel. To ensure that the drying section 3 has both good water absorption and good air permeability, the adsorbent 302 is granular, and the particle size of the granular adsorbent 302 is larger than the pore size of the air vent 301a. As described above, gas can pass through the gaps between the adsorbents 302, and the gas passing through these gaps can be dried.
[0064] As an optional implementation of the temperature control unit 2, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the temperature control unit 2 can be made of heating wire or high-temperature threaded electric heating tube, etc. In this embodiment, the drying unit 3 is made of heating wire, which facilitates the adjustment of the air temperature in the temperature control cavity 1a by adjusting the heating power and heating time of the temperature control unit 2. Furthermore, in order to make the gas temperature in the temperature control cavity 1a more uniform, the temperature control unit 2 is set between the box body 1 and the partition 101. Specifically, a connecting rod 9 can be set between the temperature control unit 2 and the box body 1, and the connecting rod 9 is fixedly connected to the heater and the box body 1. With the above arrangement, the heat of the temperature control unit 2 is easily dissipated and the air flowing in the temperature control cavity 1a is easily circulated through the temperature control unit 2.
[0065] To facilitate the monitoring of the temperature and humidity of the gas inside chamber 1, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, temperature detection units 7 are installed in temperature control chamber 1a and drying chamber 1b to monitor the gas temperature inside chamber 1; humidity detection units 8 are installed in drying chamber 1b.
[0066] The data detected by the temperature detection unit 7 and the humidity detection unit 8 serve as a reference for adjusting the heating power and heating time of the temperature control unit 2. This helps to effectively ensure the overall quality of the dried artwork. Specifically, the temperature detection unit 7 can be a non-contact infrared temperature sensor, and the humidity detection unit 8 can be a capacitive humidity sensor, a resistive humidity sensor, or a thermal conductivity humidity sensor, etc., to monitor the temperature and humidity of the air inside the drying chamber 1b.
[0067] The curing and drying equipment described in this application, during the curing and drying process of artworks, regulates the gas temperature within the temperature control chamber 1a via the temperature control unit 2. The gas flows from the temperature control chamber 1a to the drying chamber 1b, thereby regulating the temperature of the gas flowing into the drying chamber 1b. This increased temperature facilitates the evaporation of moisture from the artwork. Simultaneously, the drying unit 3 dries the air within the drying chamber 1b, thus helping to regulate the rate of moisture evaporation from the artwork. Furthermore, the partition 101 effectively prevents the temperature control unit 2 within the chamber 1 from directly baking the artwork, and, under the action of the airflow guide unit 4, ensures better contact between the artwork and the flowing air. This helps improve the drying consistency of different areas of the artwork, thereby effectively ensuring the overall quality of the artwork after drying.
[0068] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
