[0029] The front of the drying and airing machine 1 is equipped with a drying component 2. The inside of the container 9 and opposite the protective clothing washing and disinfection machine 4 is equipped with a support component 3. The front of the drying and airing machine 1 is equipped with a drying chamber 11. The inner surface of the drying chamber 11 is equipped with a drying tube 12. The top of the middle part of the drying and airing machine 1 is equipped with a first limiting shaft hole 13. The bottom edge of the drying and airing machine 1 is equipped with a second limiting shaft hole 15. The bottom of the drying and airing machine 1 and the bottom surface of the second limiting shaft hole 15 are equipped with a groove 14.
[0030] The drying component 2 includes a rotating shaft 24 and a drive motor 21. A partition 26 is fixedly installed on the outer surface of the rotating shaft 24. A ring frame 27 is welded to the upper outer surface of the rotating shaft 24. A first transmission sprocket 25 is fixedly installed on the bottom outer surface of both the rotating shaft 24 and the drive motor 21. There are two sets of first transmission sprockets 25 at the bottom of the rotating shaft 24. A first transmission chain 22 is meshed with the outer surface of the first transmission sprocket 25. A second transmission chain 23 is meshed with the outer surface of the first transmission sprocket 25 at the bottom of the rotating shaft 24.
[0031] The support component 3 includes a transmission belt 34, on the outer surface of which hanging rings 31 are evenly distributed. Both ends of the transmission belt 34 are rotatably connected to a support turntable 35. A support shaft 32 is fixedly disposed at the center of the support turntable 35. A second transmission sprocket 33 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the support shaft 32.
[0032] The two ends of the rotating shaft 24 are rotatably engaged with the middle of the drying and sunning machine 1 through the first limiting shaft hole 13, which can limit the rotation of the partition 26. The rotating shaft 24 is rotatably connected to the second transmission sprocket 33 through the second transmission chain 23, so the rotation of the partition 26 can synchronously drive the support rotating shaft 32 to rotate. The outer surface of the drive motor 21 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the inner side of the container 9, which can ensure the stability of the operation of the drive motor 21. The transmission ratio of the second transmission sprocket 33 to the first transmission sprocket 25 is one to three, which can enable the support rotating shaft 32 to rotate three times when the partition 26 rotates one revolution.
[0033] Limiting bushings are uniformly fixedly installed on the upper outer surface of one side of container 9. The top of the supporting shaft 32 is rotatably engaged with the bottom surface of the limiting bushing, which can limit the top of the supporting shaft 32. The partition 26 is rotatably adapted and engaged with the drying chamber 11 inside the drying and airing machine 1. Sealing strips are provided on both ends of the partition 26, which can play a sealing role when the drying and airing machine 1 is running.
[0034] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: When cleaning fire-fighting protective clothing, protective boots, protective gloves, helmets, and air respirators, these protective devices are first placed on the upper surface of table 8. Then, they are cleaned and disinfected using a drying and air-drying integrated machine 1, a drying cabinet 5, a protective clothing washing and disinfection machine 4, a protective mask washing and disinfection machine 6, and an ultrasonic cleaning tank 10, respectively. The protective clothing washing and disinfection machine 4 is a fully automatic washer-extractor with a G-value ≤100 and controllable ozone concentration in the water from 0.1mg / L to 10mg / L. It features a one-button washing and disinfection program. The cleaned protective clothing can be placed inside the drying cabinet 5 for drying, and the masks can be placed inside the protective mask washing and disinfection machine 6 for cleaning and disinfection. During the cleaning process, the helmets are... The fire extinguishing protective suit needs to be placed inside the ultrasonic cleaning tank 10 for ultrasonic cleaning. During the drying process, the washed suit is evenly hung on the outer surface of the ring frame 27. Then, the drive motor 21 is started, driving the rotating shaft 24 to rotate 180 degrees via the first transmission chain 22. Simultaneously, the rotating shaft 24 drives the ring frame 27 to rotate synchronously via the partition 26, thus transferring the externally hung fire extinguishing protective suit into the drying chamber 11. Then, the drying and air-drying integrated machine 1 is started, generating heat through internal electric heating and heat pumps to accelerate the evaporation of moisture from the protective suit. After the high-humidity air is dehumidified by condensation or the heat pump system, the liquid water is discharged, and the dry air is reheated and circulated. At the same time, the temperature control sensor and intelligent control system... The system monitors internal temperature and humidity, automatically adjusting operating parameters to ensure rapid drying at a suitable temperature, avoiding damage to protective materials. Furthermore, the ultraviolet light inside the drying and air-drying integrated machine 1 sterilizes the air within the chamber, achieving integrated drying and disinfection. Before drying is complete, the washed fire-fighting protective suit can be hung on the outer surface of the external ring frame 27. Then, the drive motor 21 is started to rotate the partition 26 180 degrees, transferring the dried and disinfected fire-fighting protective suit out. The washed suit is simultaneously transferred to the drying chamber 11 for further drying and disinfection. During rotation, the rotating shaft 24 drives the second transmission sprocket 33 synchronously via the second transmission chain 23. The rotation causes the second transmission sprocket 33 to drive the transmission belt 34 to rotate synchronously via the support shaft 32. Then, the transferred fire-fighting protective clothing is removed and hooked onto the hanging ring 31 on the outer surface of the transmission belt 34. Therefore, when the partition 26 deflects, the second transmission chain 23 drives the support shaft 32 to rotate, causing the transmission belt 34 to drive the hooked fire-fighting protective clothing to rotate, thereby making room for the newly dried and disinfected fire-fighting protective clothing, making it easier to hook the new fire-fighting protective clothing. Since the rotation speed of the support shaft 32 is three times that of the shaft 24, the transmission belt 34 can drive the hanging ring 31 to provide hanging space for the dried and disinfected fire-fighting protective clothing, thus avoiding excessive running back and forth by cleaning personnel to take the fire-fighting protective clothing.
[0035] The above description details one embodiment of the present utility model, but it is merely a preferred embodiment and should not be construed as limiting the scope of the present utility model. All equivalent variations and improvements made within the scope of the present utility model application should still fall within the patent coverage of the present utility model.
