[0023] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0024] Example 1: As Figure 1-4 As shown, a hot air circulating air box based on temperature zone control includes a circulating air box 1, an air inlet pipe 2, a conveying pipe 22, a connecting channel 21, an auxiliary inlet structure 3, a first slope plate 31, a connecting cross plate 32, and a second slope plate 33. The circulating air box 1 has two chambers. The circulating air box 1 is made of angle steel, stainless steel plate, and cold-rolled steel plate. The insulation layer of the circulating air box 1 is filled with high-density aluminum silicate cotton. The high-density aluminum silicate cotton ensures the insulation of the oven and also ensures the safety of the user. At the same time, a digital display intelligent instrument is also installed on the outside of the circulating air box 1 to control the temperature. The two chambers are separated by an insulation partition.

[0025] To increase the recycling of resources, two air inlet pipes 2 are provided, which are connected to two chambers in the circulating air box 1 to circulate the heat at the top of the circulating air box 1. The end face of the air inlet pipes 2 away from the circulating air box 1 is connected to a conveying pipe 22, and each conveying pipe 22 has a gas valve to control whether the heat is circulated. A connecting channel 21 is provided between two adjacent air inlet pipes 2, and the air inlet pipes 2, the connecting channel 21, the conveying pipes 22 and the circulating air box 1 are connected.

[0026] Specifically, will Figure 1The two chambers are designated as a and b. When the temperatures of chambers a and b are synchronized, the gas is circulated synchronously at the bottom of chambers a and b through the gas valve in the delivery pipe 22. When chamber a is in a low-temperature zone, the gas valve in the delivery pipe 22 at the position of chamber a will close, controlling the gas valve in the delivery pipe 22 at the position of chamber b to operate. Then, the gas at the top of chamber a and the top of chamber b will be synchronously circulated through the delivery pipe 22 to the bottom of chamber b for heat circulation. Similarly, when chamber b is in a low-temperature zone, the operation is reversed. The specific circulation requirements are selected according to the operator's specific operation.

[0027] A movable drying tray 4 is slidably connected inside the circulating air box 1. The movable drying tray 4 is used to place the object to be baked. The bottom of the movable drying tray 4 is equipped with rollers for sliding, which facilitates the movement of the movable drying tray 4.

[0028] In order to facilitate the movement of the drying tray 4 into and out of the chamber of the circulating air box 1, an auxiliary inlet structure 3 is connected inside the circulating air box 1. The auxiliary inlet structure 3 includes a first slope plate 31, a connecting horizontal plate 32, and a second slope plate 33.

[0029] It should be noted that the first slope plate 31 is detachably connected to one side of the circulating air box 1. The side of the first slope plate 31 located inside the circulating air box 1 is connected to a connecting horizontal plate 32. The bottom of the connecting horizontal plate 32 and the bottom of the chamber of the circulating air box 1 are detachably connected by bolts, etc. The end of the connecting horizontal plate 32 away from the first slope plate 31 is detachably connected to a second slope plate 33.

[0030] Both the first slope plate 31 and the second slope plate 33 are designed with an incline. The highest points of both the first slope plate 31 and the second slope plate 33 are connected to the end side of the connecting horizontal plate 32. The incline design facilitates cooperation with the rollers at the bottom of the moving drying tray 4. Figure 4 As shown, the first slope plate 31, the connecting horizontal plate 32, and the second slope plate 33 are designed vertically. When the moving drying tray 4 passes the first slope plate 31, it is pushed into the circulating air box 1 by gravity at the positions of the connecting horizontal plate 32 and the second slope plate 33. If the moving drying tray 4 wants to leave the circulating air box 1, it needs to be pushed by external force. Therefore, the second slope plate 33 restricts the moving drying tray 4, reducing the phenomenon of the moving drying tray 4 sliding down when the door of the circulating air box 1 is opened, and avoiding the phenomenon of injury to the staff when the moving drying tray 4 slides down.

[0031] Two sets of temperature controllers 14 are installed inside the circulating air box 1. These two sets of temperature controllers 14 are connected to two chambers within the circulating air box 1 and extend outside the circulating air box 1. The core function of each temperature controller 14 is to convert temperature changes into quantifiable signals, such as displacement, voltage, resistance, or radiation intensity, which are then converted into temperature values ​​using physical laws and electronic technology. When selecting a model, accuracy, measuring range, response speed, and environmental conditions must be considered. The above refers to existing technology and will not be elaborated further below. Furthermore, when selecting a model, a model suitable for the equipment should be chosen.

[0032] The overall effect of this embodiment is that, during use, the circulating air box 1 is constructed of angle steel, stainless steel plate, and cold-rolled steel plate. The insulation layer of the circulating air box 1 is filled with high-density aluminum silicate cotton, which ensures the insulation performance of the oven and also guarantees the safety of the user. A digital display intelligent instrument is also installed on the outside of the circulating air box 1 to control the temperature. The two chambers are separated by an insulation partition, and the sloping design of the first slope plate 31 and the second slope plate 33 facilitates cooperation with the rollers at the bottom of the moving drying tray 4. Figure 4 As shown, the first slope plate 31, the connecting horizontal plate 32, and the second slope plate 33 are designed vertically. When the movable drying tray 4 passes the first slope plate 31, it is pushed into the circulating air box 1 by gravity at the positions of the connecting horizontal plate 32 and the second slope plate 33. If the movable drying tray 4 wants to leave the circulating air box 1, it needs external force to push it. Therefore, the second slope plate 33 restricts the movable drying tray 4, reducing the phenomenon of it sliding down when the circulating air box 1 is opened, thus preventing injury to workers caused by the sliding of the movable drying tray 4. Figure 1 The two chambers are designated as a and b. When the temperatures of chambers a and b are synchronized, the gas is circulated synchronously at the bottom of chambers a and b through the gas valve in the delivery pipe 22. When chamber a is in a low-temperature zone, the gas valve in the delivery pipe 22 at the position of chamber a will close, controlling the gas valve in the delivery pipe 22 at the position of chamber b to operate. Then, the gas at the top of chamber a and the top of chamber b will be synchronously circulated through the delivery pipe 22 to the bottom of chamber b for heat circulation. Similarly, when chamber b is in a low-temperature zone, the operation is reversed. The specific circulation requirements are selected according to the operator's specific operation.

[0033] Example 2: Figure 1-4 As shown, a hot air circulation box based on temperature zone control is provided. Both sides of the circulation box 1 are connected to a sealing door 12 for sealing the circulation box 1. The sealing door 12 and the circulation box 1 are sealed by a sealing structure applicable to the prior art between the sealing door 12 and the circulation box 1.

[0034] A heating element 13 is provided inside the circulating air box 1. The heating element 13 is distributed on the side and bottom inside the circulating air box 1, and the heating element 13 can also be placed on the top inside the circulating air box 1.

[0035] The circulating air box 1 has air outlets 11 on both sides. The air outlets 11 are connected to the inside of the circulating air box 1. The end of the air outlet 11 away from the circulating air box 1 is fitted with a perforated circular plate for water vapor discharge. The air outlet 11 is used to discharge water vapor inside the circulating air box 1.

[0036] When using the above-mentioned Embodiments 1 and 2, it is important to note that after closing the air switch of the circulating oven, and setting the heating temperature to 250℃ and the over-temperature alarm temperature to 260℃ according to the oven's operating instructions, and after the circulating air box has been kept warm for 1 hour, its automatic operation program should be started. The indicator lights of the gas valve and heating element 13 in the conveying pipe 22 on one side of the circulating air box 1 should illuminate in sequence, indicating that the program is operating normally. If the temperature still does not reach the set value after 2.5 hours of heating, and the heating time is too long, the heated glass containers will become fragile, increasing the rate of broken bottles. This also results in energy waste and increased power consumption. Furthermore, the working cycle of the circulating air box 1 is lengthened, making it impossible to complete this process on time under a two-shift system in normal production, delaying the production schedule and increasing production costs. Normally, it takes 2.5 hours to heat the oven from room temperature to 250℃ when it is full, and one working cycle of the circulating air box takes approximately 6 hours.

[0037] Working Principle: When using this hot air circulating air box based on temperature zone control, an external power supply is required. Firstly, the circulating air box 1 is constructed from angle steel, stainless steel plates, and cold-rolled steel plates. The insulation layer of the circulating air box 1 is filled with high-density aluminum silicate cotton, which ensures the oven's insulation performance and user safety. Simultaneously, a digital display intelligent instrument is installed on the outside of the circulating air box 1 to control the temperature. The two chambers are separated by an insulation partition, and the inclined design of the first slope plate 31 and the second slope plate 33 facilitates cooperation with the rollers at the bottom of the moving drying tray 4. Figure 4 As shown, the first slope plate 31, the connecting horizontal plate 32, and the second slope plate 33 are designed vertically. When the movable drying tray 4 passes the first slope plate 31, it is pushed into the circulating air box 1 by gravity at the positions of the connecting horizontal plate 32 and the second slope plate 33. If the movable drying tray 4 wants to leave the circulating air box 1, it needs external force to push it. Therefore, the second slope plate 33 restricts the movable drying tray 4, reducing the phenomenon of it sliding down when the circulating air box 1 is opened, thus preventing injury to workers caused by the sliding of the movable drying tray 4. Figure 1The two chambers are designated as a and b. When the temperatures of chambers a and b are synchronized, the gas valve in the delivery pipe 22 operates, and the gas is simultaneously input and circulated at the bottom of chambers a and b. When chamber a is in a low-temperature zone, the gas valve in the delivery pipe 22 at the position of chamber a will close, controlling the gas valve in the delivery pipe 22 at the position of chamber b to operate, and then the gas at the top of chamber a and the top of chamber b will be simultaneously introduced into the bottom of chamber b through the delivery pipe 22 for heat circulation. Similarly, when chamber b is in a low-temperature zone, the operation is reversed. The specific circulation requirements are selected according to the specific operation of the operator, and finally the operation of the hot air circulation box based on temperature zone control is completed.
