Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of fan rib processing equipment, specifically a fan rib drying device. Background Technology

[0002] Traditional Chinese folding fans typically have ribs made of bamboo or wood, though less common materials include ivory, animal bone, ox horn, and lacquer carving. In addition to common varieties like jade bamboo and white bamboo, bamboo ribs also come from precious varieties such as palm bamboo, Xiangfei bamboo, and Buddha's belly bamboo.

[0003] After the fan ribs are formed, in order to extend their service life and prevent mold growth, the formed fan ribs need to be dried. Currently, the drying of fan ribs is generally carried out in a drying box. The drying box is equipped with a metal conveyor belt and a hot air hood. The hot air hood is located inside the drying box and is used to generate hot air to dry the fan ribs transported on the conveyor belt.

[0004] When using this drying box, place the fan ribs to be dried on the conveyor belt, start the conveyor belt, and the conveyor belt will transport the fan ribs in a straight line inside the drying box; during the process of the fan ribs being transported, hot air is blown out by the set hot air hood to dry the fan ribs.

[0005] This type of drying oven has a simple structure and is easy to operate, but it also has some drawbacks. For example, the conveyor belt is designed to move in a straight line inside the drying oven, which results in the fan ribs located at the top of the conveyor belt having too short a displacement distance inside the drying oven. This leads to a shorter drying time for the fan ribs, which may sometimes fail to meet the drying requirements. It is necessary to place the fan ribs on the conveyor belt a second time for drying or to extend the length of the conveyor belt. However, drying the fan ribs a second time reduces the drying efficiency of the fan ribs, while extending the length of the conveyor belt increases the volume of the entire drying oven.

[0006] In view of the problems in the background art mentioned above, the present invention aims to provide a fan rib drying device. Utility Model Content

[0007] The purpose of this invention is to provide a fan rib drying device to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0011] The conveying mechanism includes a ring rail and a ring chain, both of which are ring-shaped, with the ring rail located outside the ring chain. An output mechanism is installed inside the ring chain and is connected to the ring chain to drive the ring chain in a ring motion. Equally spaced and staggered mounting plates are distributed on the ring chain, with sliders at the lower ends of the mounting plates, which are slidably mounted on the ring rail. The mounting plates are used to place the fan ribs to be processed.

The hot air hood 9 generates hot air through electric heating and is introduced into the drying chamber to dry the fan ribs 16 to be processed. The fan ribs 16 to be processed are placed on the conveying mechanism, which is used to transport the fan ribs 16 to be processed in a circular manner inside the drying chamber, thereby extending the residence time of the fan ribs 16 to be processed inside the drying chamber and improving the drying efficiency of the fan ribs 16 to be processed.

[0026] The conveying mechanism includes a ring track 1 and a ring chain 4, both of which are ring-shaped, with the ring track 1 located outside the ring chain 4. An output mechanism is installed inside the ring chain 4 and is connected to the ring chain 4 to drive the ring chain 4 in a ring motion. Equally spaced and staggered mounting plates 3 are distributed on the ring chain 4, with sliders 2 at the lower end of each mounting plate 3. The sliders 2 are slidably mounted on the ring track 1.

The output mechanism drives the ring chain 4 to move in a ring. During the ring chain 4's ring movement, the mounting plates 3, which are staggered on the ring chain 4, will move in a ring along the ring track 1, thereby extending the residence time of the fan rib 16 to be processed placed on the mounting plate 3 inside the drying chamber and improving the drying efficiency of the hot air blown out by the hot air hood 9.

[0028] In one embodiment of this utility model, the output mechanism includes a main gear disk 5 and a secondary gear disk 7, which are distributed at both ends of the inner side of the annular chain 4, and the outer sides of the main gear disk 5 and the secondary gear disk 7 are meshed with the inner side of the annular chain 4; a drive shaft 6 of a servo motor is installed in the middle of the main gear disk 5, and a rotating shaft 8 is provided in the middle of the secondary gear disk 7.

[0029] In an embodiment of this utility model, when the output mechanism is used to drive the ring chain 4 to perform ring motion, the servo motor is started, and the servo motor outputs kinetic energy to the drive shaft 6 to rotate, so that the drive shaft 6 drives the main gear disk 5 to rotate. Since the outer side of the main gear disk 5 meshes with the inner side of the ring chain 4, when the main gear disk 5 rotates, it can drive the ring chain 4 to perform ring motion through the cooperation with the auxiliary gear disk 7.

[0033] In an embodiment of this utility model, when the fan rib 16 to be processed is placed on the upper end of the mounting plate 3, after the two ends of the fan rib 16 to be processed are placed in the positioning groove formed by the positioning plate 15, the middle of the fan rib 16 to be processed is placed on the upper surface of the upright frame 14. The upright frame 14 is used to support the fan rib 16 to be processed, and the positioning plate 15 is used to position the fan rib 16 to be processed placed on the upper end of the upright frame 14.
