Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cryotherapy chamber technology, specifically to a rapid drying device for ultra-low temperature air outlets. Background Technology

[0002] With the development of cryotherapy technology, cryotherapy chambers are widely used in sports rehabilitation, chronic pain relief, and inflammation control. Their working principle involves supplying the chamber with low-temperature gas (typically -120°C to -180°C), exposing the human body to an extremely low temperature environment for a short period, thereby achieving physiological regulation.

[0003] During frequent use of cryotherapy chambers, significant temperature and humidity differences between the inside and outside can easily lead to frost, condensation, and water accumulation at the air outlets. This moisture not only affects airflow stability during subsequent treatments, potentially causing duct blockage and uneven airflow, but also provides a favorable environment for bacterial growth, impacting the user's health. Currently, cryotherapy chambers on the market generally rely on manual wiping for cleaning or the introduction of heating wires or electric heating films for localized heating. These drying methods are outdated, inefficient, lack automation, and have slow drying response times. Furthermore, they struggle to achieve uniform heating across multiple air outlets.

[0004] To address these issues, a rapid drying device for ultra-low temperature air outlets is provided. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a rapid drying device for ultra-low temperature air outlets, which solves the problems of outdated, inefficient, and slow-response drying methods in existing air outlets.

[0006] This utility model achieves the above objectives through the following technical solutions:

[0007] A rapid drying device for ultra-low temperature air outlets includes multiple sets of drying modules spaced vertically on the inner wall of a cryotherapy chamber. Each drying module is used to dry the air outlets on the inner wall of the cryotherapy chamber, with each set corresponding to a circumferential ring of air outlets. Each drying module includes a mounting plate and a drive mechanism for raising and lowering the mounting plate. The mounting plate has multiple mounting slots on the side facing the cryotherapy chamber, each corresponding to an air outlet, and a heating module is installed in each mounting slot. The cryotherapy chamber includes a chamber body and a double-door type door located on the front of the chamber body. The drive mechanism uses the opening action of the door to drive the mounting plate to move, blocking the air outlets and activating the heating modules for drying.

[0008] As a further optimization of this utility model, the drive mechanism includes a gear commutator fixedly mounted on the inner wall of the cabin and a rack slidably mounted on the inner wall of the cabin; the input shaft of the gear commutator is provided with a second gear, and the output shaft is provided with a third gear, the third gear meshing with the rack, and the mounting plate is fixedly mounted on the rack.

[0009] As a further optimization of this utility model, the cabin body and the cabin door are rotatably connected, and a rotating shaft is provided at the connection point. A first gear that meshes with the second gear is fixedly sleeved on the rotating shaft.

[0010] As a further optimization of this utility model, the top of the mounting plate is provided with a sensing block, and the inner wall of the chamber is embedded with a sensing switch that matches the sensing block; the mounting plate is raised and lowered to trigger the corresponding sensing switch to control the heating module to perform drying.

[0011] As a further optimization of this utility model, the mounting plate includes a first plate and a second plate; the first plate and the second plate are hinged to each other, and the second plate is attached to the inner wall of the hatch.

[0012] As a further optimization of this utility model, the drying module also includes a hot air circulation drying component disposed on the side of the mounting plate away from the cold therapy chamber. The hot air circulation drying component includes a bidirectional flow fan and a first air supply pipe and a second air supply pipe disposed at the inlet and outlet of the bidirectional flow fan. The mounting groove is provided with air holes, which are connected to the first air supply pipe or the second air supply pipe through branch pipes. The branch pipes on the first air supply pipe and the second air supply pipe are arranged alternately.

[0013] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0014] 1. This utility model integrates a heating module and a hot air circulation drying component on the mounting plate, which can achieve rapid and efficient drying of the chamber and the air outlet on the door. By utilizing the dual mechanism of short-term heating and hot air circulation, residual moisture in the air outlet area can be effectively removed within minutes, thereby achieving the purpose of efficient dehumidification, preventing frost, improving the hygiene of the equipment, and extending its service life, fundamentally solving the problem of frost or water accumulation at the air outlet after the use of the cryotherapy chamber.

[0015] 2. The drive mechanism of this utility model uses the opening and closing action of the cabin door as a trigger signal to realize the automatic activation and reset of the drying module after the treatment is completed. When the cabin door is opened, the mounting plate automatically closes the air outlet for drying. At the same time, since the air outlet is closed, it can also prevent external dust from entering, keep the inside clean, and help extend the service life of the equipment. When the cabin door is closed, the mounting plate automatically resets to avoid affecting the normal air outlet. Attached Figure Description

[0022] The present application will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that the following specific embodiments are only used to further illustrate the present application and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present application. Those skilled in the art can make some non-essential improvements and adjustments to the present application based on the above application content.

[0023] Example 1

[0024] To address the issue of frost or water accumulation at the air vents of existing cryotherapy chambers after use due to the large temperature difference between the inside and outside, please refer to [link to relevant documentation]. Figures 1-3This utility model provides a rapid drying device for ultra-low temperature air outlets, comprising multiple drying modules spaced vertically on the inner wall of a cryotherapy chamber. The drying modules are used to dry the air outlets 401 on the inner wall of the cryotherapy chamber, with each drying module corresponding to a circumferential ring of air outlets 401. Each drying module includes a mounting plate 1 and a drive mechanism 2 for raising and lowering the mounting plate 1. The mounting plate 1 has multiple mounting slots 101 on the side facing the cryotherapy chamber, each corresponding to one of the air outlets 401. Heating modules are installed within the mounting slots 101. Block 102 is used to locally heat and dry the corresponding air outlet 401 area. The heating module 102 can be a PTC ceramic heater. The heater can be flexibly designed as a ring, rectangle or multi-segment structure according to the layout of the air outlet 401 to adapt to the usage requirements of different specifications of cold therapy chambers. The cold therapy chamber includes a chamber body 4 and a double-door type chamber door 5 located on the front of the chamber body 4. The drive mechanism 2 uses the opening action of the chamber door 5 to drive the mounting plate 1 to move, block the air outlet 401 and start the heating module 102 for drying.

[0025] After the user completes the cryotherapy treatment and opens the door 5, the door 5 moves the mounting plate 1 via the drive mechanism 2, blocking the air outlet 401 and activating the heating module 102 for drying. The drying process lasts for several minutes. When the user closes the door 5, the drive mechanism 2 moves in the opposite direction, causing the mounting plate 1 to reset, the heating module 102 to stop working, and the air outlet 401 to resume ventilation. The entire drying process is automated and requires no manual intervention, achieving the goals of efficient dehumidification, preventing frost formation, improving hygiene, and extending equipment life.

[0026] The drive mechanism 2 includes a gear commutator 201 fixedly mounted on the inner wall of the cabin 4 and a rack 204 slidably mounted on the inner wall of the cabin 4; a second gear 202 is provided on the input shaft of the gear commutator 201, and a third gear 203 is provided on the output shaft. The third gear 203 meshes with the rack 204. The mounting plate 1 is fixedly mounted on the rack 204 and slides along the vertical direction with the rack 204; the cabin 4 is rotatably connected to the hatch 5, and a rotating shaft 501 is provided at the connection. A first gear 502 meshing with the second gear 202 is fixedly mounted on the rotating shaft 501.

[0027] With the hatch 5 closed and the mounting plate 1 in a non-working position to the side of the air outlet 401, the air outlet 401 remains ventilated, and the heating module 102 is not activated. When the user opens the hatch 5, the hatch 5 and the rotating shaft 501 rotate, and the first gear 502 fixed on the rotating shaft 501 rotates accordingly. The first gear 502 drives the second gear 202 meshing with it to rotate, and the second gear 202 transmits power to the gear commutator 201. The gear commutator 201 drives the rack 204 to move through the third gear 203. The mounting plate 1 moves with the rack 204, blocking and covering the air outlet 401. The heating module 102 in the mounting slot 101 is activated and begins the heating and drying operation. After drying is completed, the hatch 5 is closed, the mounting plate 1 is reset, the heating module 102 stops working, and the air outlet 401 returns to ventilation, ready for the next use.

[0028] In order to automatically control the opening and closing of the heating module 102 and improve the automation level, drying efficiency and safety of the device, a sensor block 103 is provided on the top of the mounting plate 1, and a sensor switch 402 matching the sensor block 103 is embedded in the inner wall of the chamber 4; the mounting plate 1 is raised and lowered to trigger the corresponding sensor switch 402 to control the heating module 102 to perform drying.

[0029] When the mounting plate 1 moves to the set position blocking the air outlet 401 under the drive of the drive mechanism 2, the sensing block 103 triggers the sensing switch 402, thereby controlling the heating module 102 to start heating and drying the area of ​​the air outlet 401. The sensing block 103 and the sensing switch 402 can each adopt magnetic sensing components, wherein the sensing block 103 is a permanent magnet, and the sensing switch 402 is a reed switch or a Hall effect sensor. When the sensing block 103 moves and approaches the sensing switch 402, the sensing switch 402 receives the signal from the sensing block 103 and sends a start command to the heating module 102. In other embodiments, the sensing block 103 can also be a metal sheet or a reflector. Correspondingly, the sensing switch 402 can adopt an inductive proximity switch or a photoelectric sensor to achieve a similar identification function.

[0030] Mounting plate 1 includes a first plate 105 and a second plate 106; the first plate 105 and the second plate 106 are hinged to each other, and the second plate 106 is attached to the inner wall of the hatch 5.

[0031] The heating module 102 on the first plate 105 is used to dry the air outlet 401 on the cabin 4, and the heating module 102 on the second plate 106 is used to dry the air outlet 401 on the cabin door 5; the mounting plate 1 has a folding structure design to accommodate the double-door cabin door 5.

[0032] Example 2

[0033] Based on Example 1, in order to further improve drying efficiency and drying effect, such as Figure 2 , Figure 4 As shown, the drying module also includes a hot air circulation drying component 3 located on the side of the mounting plate 1 facing away from the cryotherapy chamber.

[0034] The hot air circulating drying assembly 3 includes a bidirectional flow fan 301 and a first air duct 302 and a second air duct 303 located at the inlet and outlet of the bidirectional flow fan 301. The mounting groove 101 is provided with air holes 104 for guiding hot air into or out of the air outlet 401 area. The air holes 104 are connected to the first air duct 302 or the second air duct 303 through branch pipes. The branch pipes on the first air duct 302 and the second air duct 303 are arranged alternately so that the hot air forms a local circulation flow among multiple air outlets 401.

[0035] When the heating module 102 starts, the bidirectional flow fan 301 starts. Hot air is blown into the corresponding air outlet 401 through the first air duct 302, branch pipe, and air hole 104. At the same time, the other air outlet 401 exhausts the hot and humid air. After a preset time, such as 30 seconds, the control system switches the direction of the bidirectional flow fan 301. The air hole 104 that originally discharged hot air becomes the air inlet, and the air hole 104 that originally entered hot air becomes the air outlet. The air turbulence achieved by the hot air circulation accelerates the evaporation of moisture, significantly improves the drying efficiency, reduces energy consumption, and effectively prevents bacterial growth and equipment corrosion.

[0036] The embodiments described above are merely examples of several implementations of this utility model, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of this utility model patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this utility model, and these modifications and improvements all fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
