[0030] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments, so that those skilled in the art can better understand and implement the present invention. However, the embodiments are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0031] Reference Figures 1 to 5 As shown, a drying box structure of this utility model includes multiple plates forming a receiving cavity. Each plate includes: a first side plate 8, which has a first air inlet 81 communicating with the receiving cavity; a diffusion groove 82 on one side of the first side plate 8; the first air inlet 81 communicating with the diffusion groove 82; and the air outlet of the first air inlet 81 located at the bottom of the diffusion groove 82, the diameter of the diffusion groove 82 gradually decreasing towards the first air inlet 81; and a bottom plate 1, where the first side plate 8 abuts against the bottom plate 1; the bottom plate 1 is connected to an air outlet pipe 5 communicating with the receiving cavity; and the inner wall of the air outlet pipe 5 has a spiral groove 51.

[0032] This embodiment provides a drying chamber structure where the product to be dried is placed inside a receiving cavity. The output end of an external air blower is connected to a first air inlet 81. The external air blower introduces airflow into the receiving cavity through the first air inlet 81. The airflow diffuses into the receiving cavity as it passes through a diffuser 82, and then flows out through an outlet pipe 5 after passing over the product to be dried. The diffuser 82 is designed with a diameter that gradually decreases towards the first air inlet 81, making it conical in shape. Compared to airflow from an air inlet in the prior art, the airflow has a wider coverage area after passing through the diffuser 82, allowing the airflow from a single first air inlet 81 to cover more of the product to be dried, thus preventing inconsistent drying effects within the receiving cavity. The spiral grooves 51 on the inner wall of the outlet pipe 5 reduce particulate dust adhesion to the inner wall of the outlet pipe 5 as the airflow passes through it.

[0033] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the drying box structure includes multiple plates that form a cavity. The multiple plates include a first side plate 8, a second side plate 3, a bottom plate 1, and a top plate 2. Each plate includes two first side plates 8 and two second side plates 3. The top plate 2 and the bottom plate 1 are arranged opposite to each other and parallel to each other. The two first side plates 8 and the two second side plates 3 are arranged opposite to each other and parallel to each other. The two second side plates 3 are connected between the top plate and the bottom plate 1. The opposite sides of the two first side plates 8 abut against the two second side plates 3 and the two ends of the top plate 2, respectively. The bottom sides of the two first side plates 8 abut against the bottom plate 1, thereby forming a cavity with the top plate 2, the bottom plate 1, the first side plates 8, and the second side plates 3. The first side plates 8 are movable to facilitate the entry of the product to be dried into the cavity.

[0034] Reference Figure 4 As shown, the first side plate 8 is provided with a first air inlet 81 communicating with the receiving cavity. A diffusion groove 82 is provided on one side of the first side plate 8, and the diffusion groove 82 is located on the side of the receiving cavity formed by the first side plate 8. The first air inlet 81 communicates with the diffusion groove 82, and the outlet end of the first air inlet 81 is located at the bottom of the diffusion groove 82. The diameter of the diffusion groove 82 gradually decreases towards the first air inlet 81, and the maximum diameter of the diffusion groove 82 is greater than the diameter of the first air inlet 81, thus making the diffusion groove 82 conical in shape. When airflow passes through the first air inlet 81 and then through the diffusion groove 82, the airflow can extend outward along the side wall of the diffusion groove 82, thereby increasing the coverage area of ​​the airflow and preventing uneven drying effects of the products to be dried within the receiving cavity. Preferably, the cone angle is between 45° and 120°, and different cone angles of the diffusion groove 82 can be set according to the quantity and density of the products to be dried.

[0035] Reference Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the base plate 1 supports the box structure. The bottom side of the first side plate 8 abuts against the base plate 1. The base plate 1 is connected to an air outlet pipe 5 that communicates with the receiving cavity. The inner wall of the air outlet pipe 5 is provided with a spiral groove 51. Specifically, the base plate 1 has a mounting hole 11 in the middle position. One end of the air outlet pipe 5 is connected to the mounting hole 11 and communicates with the receiving cavity. The inner wall of the air outlet pipe 5 has multiple spiral grooves 51. The spiral grooves 51 extend along the inner wall of the air outlet pipe 5, and the two ends of the spiral grooves 51 are located at the two ends of the air outlet pipe 5. Preferably, the number of spiral grooves 51 on the inner wall of the air outlet pipe 5 is 4-8, and the spiral angle is between 15° and 30°. Different numbers and spiral angles of spiral grooves 51 can be set according to the airflow velocity. Since some products generate particulate dust during the air drying process, the airflow will carry the particulate dust along with it. The spiral groove 51 reduces the amount of particulate dust adhering to the inner wall of the air outlet pipe 5 as the airflow passes through it, thus preventing the air outlet pipe 5 from clogging due to the accumulation of particulate dust.

[0036] Reference Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 7As shown, the receiving cavity is also provided with multiple partitions 7, which are arranged equidistantly in the vertical direction and are parallel to the base plate 1. The first side plate 8 is provided with multiple first air inlets 81 and diffuser grooves 82, with the number of first air inlets 81 corresponding to the number of diffuser grooves 82. Adjacent partitions 7 form a partition cavity, and each partition cavity is connected to at least one first air inlet 81. Products to be dried are placed on the partitions 7. The number of first air inlets 81 connected to the partition cavities can vary depending on the number of products to be dried. Airflow passing through the first air inlets 81 and diffuser grooves 82 dries the products in the partition cavities. A first vent 71 is located in the middle of the partition 7. Multiple first vents 71 form a first channel in the vertical direction. An outlet pipe 5 is connected to the first channel, allowing airflow to pass sequentially through the first air inlets 81, diffuser grooves 82, partition cavities, and the first channel before finally exiting through the outlet pipe 5. The partition cavities and the first channel guide the airflow. The second side plate 3 is provided with multiple slots 31. The edges of the opposite side of the separator 7 are engaged with the slots 31, and the separator 7 can slide along the slots 31, so that the separator 7 can slide into the receiving cavity from the end of the slot 31.

[0037] The separator 7 includes at least two separator plates 72. In this embodiment, the separator 7 includes two separator plates 72. Depending on the size of the receiving cavity, the separator 7 may include different numbers of separator plates 72. The two separator plates 72 can enter the receiving cavity through both ends of the slot 31. When the product to be dried is outside the receiving cavity, it can be placed on the separator plates 72 first. By moving the separator plates 72 into the receiving cavity, the product to be dried can enter the receiving cavity. The abutting edges of two adjacent separator plates 72 are provided with a first opening, and the two first openings constitute a first vent 71. There is a gap between the partition 7 near the base plate 1 and the base plate 1. The partition 72 is also provided with a vent 74 and a second opening. The second opening is located at the edge where two adjacent partitions 72 abut, and at the edge where the partition 72 abuts the second side plate 3. The two second openings form a second vent 73. Multiple vents 74 form a second channel, and multiple second vents 73 form a third channel. The first channel, the second channel, and the third channel are all connected to the gap between the partition 7 and the base plate 1, so that the airflow can be output through the air outlet pipe 5.

[0038] Reference Figure 6 , Figure 8 and Figure 9As shown, the drying chamber structure also includes a first guide plate 4, which is attached to the first side plate 8 and connected by bolts. A first guide groove 42 is provided on the side of the first guide plate 4 that is attached to the first side plate 8. The first guide groove 42 includes multiple vertically extending channels 43, and the first air inlet 81 communicates with the channels 43 of the first guide groove 42. A groove 84 is provided on the side of the first side plate 8 that is attached to the first guide plate 4. The groove 84 is horizontally positioned and communicates with the channels 43 of the first guide groove 42. The output end of the first air inlet 81 is located at the bottom of the groove 84. A single groove 84 can communicate with multiple first air inlets 81, and each groove 84 corresponds to a single partition cavity; that is, a single groove 84 communicates with a single partition cavity through the first air inlet 81 and the diffuser groove 82. The arrangement of multiple channels 43 communicating with multiple grooves 84 makes the airflow velocity output from each first air inlet 81 more balanced.

[0039] Reference Figure 6 and Figure 10 As shown, the drying box structure also includes a second guide plate 9. Two mounting slots are provided on the bottom plate 1 near the two first side plates 8. The two second guide plates 9 are respectively connected to the two mounting slots, and the second guide plates 9 abut against the first side plates 8. A second guide channel 91 is provided on the side of the second guide plate 9 that is in contact with the bottom of the mounting groove. A first air passage 41 is provided on the side wall of the first guide channel 42. The first air passage 41 is located at the bottom of the first guide plate 4. A second air passage 92 is provided on the side wall of the second guide channel 91. The second air passage 92 is located on the side of the second guide plate 9 that abuts against the first side plate 8. An air passage 83 is provided on the bottom edge of the first side plate 8. The air passage 83 is located between the first air passage 41 and the second air passage 92. Both the first air passage 41 and the second air passage 92 are connected to the air passage 83, that is, airflow can pass through the second guide channel 91, the second air passage 92, the air passage 83 and the first air passage 41 to enter the first guide channel 42. A second air inlet 12 is provided at the bottom of the mounting groove. The second air inlet 12 is connected to the second guide channel 91. An external air blowing device is connected to the second air inlet 12, thereby inputting airflow into the second air inlet 12. The airflow can enter the receiving cavity. With the arrangement of the first guide plate 4 and the second guide plate 9, airflow can be supplied to all the first air inlets 81 on the first side plate 8 by introducing airflow into a single second air inlet 12. The second air inlet 12 is located on the bottom plate 1, and the external air supply device can be located below the bottom plate 1, so that the path of the external air supply device and the partition plate 72 into the receiving cavity will not interfere. The bottom of the mounting groove is also provided with a third air inlet 13 communicating with the second guide groove 91. The third air inlet 13 can be used to adjust the air pressure of the airflow input into the second guide groove 91, and can also be used to input airflow, thereby adjusting the temperature inside the receiving cavity.

[0040] Reference Figure 11 and Figure 12 As shown, the drying box structure also includes a fixing component 6, which includes a stop bar 63 and a locking member 61. The locking member 61 is connected to one of the multiple plates. Specifically, each stop bar 63 corresponds to two locking members 61, and the two locking members 61 are respectively connected to two second side plates 3. The locking member 61 includes a locking groove 62, and the stop bar 63 abuts against the side wall of the locking groove 62. The stop bar 63 also abuts against the first guide plate 4. Through the engagement of the stop bar 63 and the locking groove 62, the first side plate 8 and the first guide plate 4 are clamped between the second side plate 3 and the stop bar 63, thereby fixing the position of the first side plate 8 and the first guide plate 4. The stop bar 63 has a contact surface 64 near both ends. The contact surface 64 can be formed by milling. The contact surface 64 fits against the side wall of the locking groove 62, thereby making the engagement between the stop bar 63 and the locking member 61 more stable. When the first guide plate 4 and the first side plate 8 are not assembled with the top plate 2, the bottom plate 1 and the second side plate 3, that is, when the first guide plate 4 and the first side plate 8 are located on the outside, the two ends of the receiving cavity form the inlet.

[0041] In use, place the product to be dried on the partition plate 72, move the partition plate 72 so that it enters the receiving cavity from the inlets at both ends of the receiving cavity, and at the same time move the partition plate 72 on the slot 31 until the two partition plates 72 at the same height abut against each other. Then, place the first guide plate 4 and the first side plate 8 at the end of the second side plate 3, so that the bottom side of the first side plate 8 abuts against the bottom plate 1, and the side wall of the first side plate 8 abuts against the top plate 2 and the end of the second side plate 3. Then, engage the stop bar 63 with the lock. The locking groove 62 of the stop 61 is engaged, at which point the positions of the first guide plate 4 and the first side plate 8 are fixed. Finally, the external air blowing device inputs airflow into the second air inlet 12. The airflow passes through the second guide groove 91, the second air outlet 92, the air outlet groove 83, the first air outlet 41, the first guide groove 42, the groove 84, the first air inlet 81 and the diffuser groove 82 in sequence before entering the partition chamber. When the airflow passes through the partition chamber, it dries the product to be dried. Finally, the airflow passes through the first channel and is output by the air outlet pipe 5.

[0042] This utility model discloses a drying chamber structure. By gradually decreasing the diameter of the diffuser groove 82 towards the first air inlet 81, the diffuser groove 82 becomes conical in shape. Compared to the airflow output from the air inlet in the prior art, the airflow covers a wider area after passing through the diffuser groove 82. This allows the airflow output from a single first air inlet 81 to cover more products to be dried, thus avoiding inconsistent drying effects among the products within the chamber. The spiral groove 51 on the inner wall of the air outlet pipe 5 reduces the amount of particulate dust adhering to the inner wall of the air outlet pipe 5 as it passes through.

[0043] Obviously, the above embodiments are merely illustrative examples for clear explanation and are not intended to limit the implementation. Those skilled in the art will recognize that other variations or modifications can be made based on the above description. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively list all possible implementations here. However, obvious variations or modifications derived therefrom are still within the protection scope of this invention.
