Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of quartz stone production technology, specifically to a drying device for intelligent flexible production of artificial quartz stone. Background Technology
[0002] Flexible production is a new production model proposed to address the drawbacks of large-scale production. Flexible production refers to reforms in system structure, personnel organization, operation methods, and marketing to enable the production system to quickly adapt to changes in market demand, while eliminating redundant and useless losses, striving for greater efficiency for enterprises. Computer and automation technologies are the material and technological foundation of flexible production. Currently, flexible production systems are commonly used in the production of artificial quartz stone. Artificial quartz stone is a synthetic stone manufactured artificially, possessing unparalleled advantages over natural stone, such as high strength, high hardness, high temperature resistance, corrosion resistance, aging resistance, easy cleaning, wear resistance, and no radiation. The main raw materials used in artificial quartz stone, quartz sand and quartz powder, are typically pure white... Made from high-quality milky-white quartzite and vein quartz, artificial quartz stone has become increasingly scarce in recent years due to the growing consumption of quartz. This has led to a surge in demand and a decline in the availability of high-quality quartz resources. To meet this growing consumer demand without compromising the quality and visual appeal of the artificial stone, the production of artificial quartz typically requires drying the raw materials. However, most existing drying equipment uses hot air, which has a low heat recovery rate and is often directly discharged into the environment, resulting in wasted heat and increased operating costs. Utility Model Content
[0003] To overcome the shortcomings of existing technologies, a drying device for intelligent flexible production of artificial quartz stone is provided to solve the problems mentioned in the background.

The inner cavity of the heating chamber is divided into a diversion channel, a heating channel, a filter channel and an air inlet channel by a partition plate, a main partition plate and a secondary partition plate. The diversion channel is connected to the inner cavity of the jet plates through an air supply pipe. Meanwhile, a heating component is fixedly connected to the heating channel. An air pump is fixedly connected to the side of the main partition plate near the filter channel, and a drying box is symmetrically connected to the side of the secondary partition plate near the filter channel.

At the same time, the air supply pipe connecting the air jet plates and the heating chamber has an L-shaped structure and the air supply pipe is made of heat-insulating material.

The diversion channel and the heating channel are combined to form an E-shaped structure, and a temperature sensor is fixedly connected to the top of the diversion channel.
[0009] Preferably, the heating component has a rectangular structure and consists of a heat-conducting shell and a heating wire.

The drying box is filled with desiccant. At the same time, multiple sets of ventilation holes are evenly opened at the top of the air inlet slot near the outlet side of the drying box.
[0011] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: through the cooperation of the heating box, partition plate, heating component, main partition plate, air pump, drying box, secondary partition plate and air jet plate, the drying device can perform corresponding hot air drying treatment on artificial quartz stone. When the hot air flows through the outlet of the drying box, it is drawn by the air pump set inside the heating box through the air inlet slot, so that a large part of the hot air can be recycled, thereby reducing the chance of heat being wasted and also reducing the energy required for subsequent airflow to heat to the preset temperature, thus helping to reduce the operating cost of the device.

[0017] Reference Figures 1 to 4 As shown, this utility model provides a drying device for intelligent flexible production of artificial quartz stone, including: a drying box 1, a conveying device 4 arranged transversely inside the drying box 1, a guide plate 2 fixedly connected to the top of the inner cavity of the drying box 1, and jet plates 3 symmetrically connected to both sides of the inner cavity of the drying box 1 near the inlet, and a heating box 5 fixedly connected to the bottom of the inner cavity of the drying box 1. The inner cavity of the heating box 5 is divided into a diversion channel 7, a heating channel 9, a filter channel 14 and an air inlet channel 17 by a partition plate 8, a main partition plate 12 and a secondary partition plate 16. The diversion channel 7 is connected to the inner cavity of the jet plate 3 through an air supply pipe. At the same time, a heating component 10 is fixedly connected to the heating channel 9. An air pump 13 is fixedly connected to the side of the main partition plate 12 near the filter channel 14, and a drying box 15 is symmetrically connected to the side of the secondary partition plate 16 near the filter channel 14. Ventilation holes are symmetrically opened at the top of the air inlet channel 17, and a collection box 6 is symmetrically connected to both sides of the bottom of the inner cavity of the drying box 1 through grooves.
[0018] In this embodiment, when the artificial quartz stone passes through the drying chamber 1 via the conveying device 4, the electrically connected heating component 10 and air pump 13 are sequentially activated by the PLC component. Then, external airflow flows into the air inlet trough 17 through the vents on the upper surface of the heating chamber 5. As the airflow passes through the drying box 15 and flows into the filter trough 14, the drying box 15 dries the airflow. The air pump 13 then injects the dried airflow into the heating trough 9. During the airflow process, the heating component 10 heats the airflow to form hot air. After entering the diversion channel 7, the air can flow into the inner cavity of the corresponding jet plate 3 through the air supply pipe set in the diversion channel 7, and be ejected from the jet holes opened on the inclined surface of the jet plate 3, so that the jet plate 3 can spray hot air towards the outlet of the drying box 1. The hot air sprayed from both sides of the drying box 1 can help enhance the drying effect of artificial quartz stone inside the drying box 1. Moreover, when the hot air flows through the outlet of the drying box 1, most of it will be drawn back into the air inlet channel 17 opened in the heating box 5 by the airflow, thereby realizing the recycling of hot air heat, reducing the energy consumption required for subsequent airflow heating, and helping to reduce the operating cost of the device.
[0019] As a preferred embodiment, the drying oven 1 has a square cylindrical structure, and the guide plate 2 fixedly connected to the top of the inner cavity of the drying oven 1 has a rectangular structure, and the lower surface of the guide plate 2 has an arc-shaped structure. At the same time, the sides of the guide plate 2 are in contact with the sides of the inner cavity of the drying oven 1.
[0020] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 The baffle plate 2 allows the water vapor generated during drying in the drying chamber 1 to condense quickly. Under the guidance of the inclined surface of the baffle plate 2, the condensate can quickly slide into the collection boxes 6 on both sides of the drying chamber 1, preventing the condensate from dripping back onto the surface of the artificial quartz stone, thus helping to improve the drying efficiency. The inclined structure at the opening of the collection box 6 also facilitates the inflow of condensate.
[0021] In a preferred embodiment, multiple sets of jet plates 3 are fixedly connected at equal intervals on both sides of the inner cavity of the drying chamber 1 near the inlet, and the lower surface of the jet plate 3 is higher than the upper surface of the heating chamber 5. At the same time, the air supply pipe connecting the jet plate 3 and the heating chamber 5 has an L-shaped structure and the air supply pipe is made of heat-insulating material.
[0022] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 The surface of the jet plate 3 faces the conveying device 4, which helps to enhance the drying effect of the jet plate 3 on the artificial quartz stone. Furthermore, both the air pipe and the jet plate 3 are made of heat-insulating material, which can effectively reduce the rate of heat loss from the hot air.
[0023] As a preferred embodiment, the jet plate 3 has a rectangular parallelepiped structure, the upper surface of the jet plate 3 has a right-angled trapezoidal structure, and the inclined surface of the jet plate 3 faces the outlet of the drying chamber 1, while multiple sets of jet holes are evenly opened on the inclined surface of the jet plate 3.
[0024] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 The jet holes on the inclined surface of the jet plate 3 allow the hot air ejected from the jet plate 3 to flow towards the outlet of the drying chamber 1, thereby effectively guiding the flow direction of the hot air. This not only helps to enhance the drying effect of the hot air on the artificial quartz stone, but also reduces the chance of the hot air being lost into the surrounding environment.
[0025] In a preferred embodiment, the heating box 5 has a rectangular structure, and the two sets of partition plates 8 fixedly connected inside the heating box 5 are both L-shaped. The diversion channel 7 and the heating channel 9 are combined to form an E-shaped structure, and a temperature sensor is fixedly connected to the top of the diversion channel 7.
[0026] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 The partition plate 8 can effectively guide the airflow path inside the heating box 5, thereby helping to improve the efficiency of airflow heating. The temperature sensor is electrically connected to the PLC component, so the temperature data of the hot air can be transmitted to the PLC component in real time. When the hot air temperature is within the preset range, the PLC component will turn off the heating component 10, and when the temperature data is less than the preset range, the PLC component will turn on the heating component 10 again, thereby achieving the stabilization of the hot air temperature.
[0027] In a preferred embodiment, the heating component 10 has a rectangular structure and consists of a heat-conducting shell and a heating wire. Multiple sets of heat-conducting rods 11 are fixedly connected at equal intervals along the length direction on both sides of the heating component 10. The multiple sets of heat-conducting rods 11 on the same side of the heating component 10 are distributed in an S-shape, and the heat-conducting rods 11 have a cylindrical structure.
[0028] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 The heat-conducting rod 11 is made of heat-conducting material, which helps to increase the contact area between the heating component 10 and the airflow, thereby improving the heating effect of the heating component 10 on the airflow. At the same time, the heating component 10, temperature sensor and PLC component can all be common brands and models on the market.
[0029] In a preferred embodiment, the main partition plate 12 has a rectangular structure, while the secondary partition plate 16 has an E-shaped structure. The lower end of the secondary partition plate 16 has multiple sets of through slots that are parallel and evenly spaced along the length direction, and each set of slots is fixedly connected to a drying box 15. The drying box 15 is filled with desiccant. Meanwhile, multiple sets of ventilation holes are evenly spaced on the top of the air inlet slot 17 near the outlet side of the drying chamber 1.
[0030] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 The drying box 15 can be a common brand or model on the market or a device with equivalent effect, which can then perform corresponding drying treatment on the airflow flowing into the heating box 5, thereby ensuring the drying effect of hot air on artificial quartz stone. At the same time, the position setting of the vent and air inlet 17 allows the hot air flowing inside the drying box 1 to be recycled and reused, reducing the chance of heat loss.
