Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of heat insulation pad processing technology, specifically to a drying device. Background Technology
[0002] In the aerogel thermal insulation pad industry, there is a type of sheet-like thermal insulation pad that requires the same coating to be applied to all six sides (top, bottom, front, back, left, and right). The conventional manufacturing process involves unwinding the incoming roll material, coating it, cutting the roll into segments of specified lengths, and then using a cutting machine to cut these segments into multiple rectangular pieces. At this point, the top and bottom surfaces of the small pieces are coated with the coating. The pieces are then stacked and arranged neatly, and the coating is applied twice, each time to adjacent sides. After each application, a blower is used to loosen the stack of pieces, and this process is repeated until the coating is completely dry and cured.
[0003] To prevent products from sticking together and causing poor quality, the products need to be blown apart after each coat of paint before the paint cures. Since the paint cures in a short time and there are many products in each stack, employees need to move the blower back and forth and left and right repeatedly to blow the products apart in a short period of time. This is very labor-intensive, and adhesive powder flies out of the products, which affects the health of the employees. Utility Model Content
[0004] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a drying device that blows apart, dries and then arranges the heat insulation pads, thereby improving the processing efficiency of the heat insulation pads.
[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: a drying device, including a conveying mechanism, a material supporting mechanism, a blowing mechanism, and a drying mechanism. The material supporting mechanism includes a material supporting component and a material assemblies. The material assemblies include a material assemblies driving component and two material assemblies. The material assemblies are disposed on the material supporting component, and a material placement area is set between the two material assemblies on the material supporting component. The material assemblies are driven by the material assemblies driving component to move between the material placement position and the standby position. The two material assemblies cooperate to arrange the material in the placement area. The conveying mechanism drives the material supporting mechanism to move between the loading position, the blowing position, the drying position, and the unloading position. The blowing mechanism is disposed at the blowing position and blows the product in the placement area to disperse it. The drying mechanism is disposed at the drying position and dries the product in the placement area that has been blown apart. The blowing mechanism disperses the product on the material supporting component, and the separation of the products not only avoids sticking but also improves the drying effect of the drying mechanism. The material assemblies arrange the dried products in a close manner, making it easy to grab the dried products for subsequent operations.
[0006] As an optional technical solution of this utility model, the whole material moves along the conveying direction of the conveying mechanism, and the blowing mechanism includes an air knife, the air outlet of which is perpendicular to the conveying direction of the conveying mechanism. The arrangement direction of each product on the material support assembly is parallel to the conveying direction, and the air outlet of the air knife is perpendicular to the conveying direction, so that the air knife can separate the products.
[0007] As an optional technical solution of this utility model, the material support assembly includes a material support frame and a material support platform. The material support frame is connected to the conveying part of the conveying mechanism, and the material support platform is set on the material support frame. A ventilation gap is provided below the material support platform, and ventilation holes are provided on the material support platform. The entire material passes through the ventilation holes. The ventilation holes and ventilation gap allow airflow during product blowing and drying, improving the blowing and drying effects of the product.
[0008] As an optional technical solution of this utility model, the dispersing mechanism includes horizontal air knives and vertical air knives. The horizontal air knives are horizontally arranged above the conveying mechanism, and the vertical air knives are vertically arranged on the side of the conveying mechanism. Multiple air knives blow air onto the product from the top and sides to ensure the dispersing effect.
[0009] As an optional technical solution of this utility model, the material support assembly also includes a side baffle. The side baffle is disposed on the material support platform, and the area on the material support platform between the side baffle and the two complete material parts is the material placement area. The side baffle and the vertical air knife are respectively located on opposite sides of the material support platform, and ventilation holes are also provided on the side baffle. The side baffle can prevent the vertical air knife from blowing the product away from the material support assembly.
[0010] As an optional technical solution of this utility model, the drying mechanism includes a drying fan, which has at least two air outlets. The air outlets are located above the conveying mechanism and are distributed along the conveying direction of the conveying mechanism. A transverse air knife is provided between adjacent air outlets. The drying position and the blowing position are designed in one place, so that the blowing and drying of the product are carried out simultaneously, which helps to improve the drying efficiency.
[0011] As an optional technical solution of this utility model, it also includes a drying box, which is set between the loading position and the unloading position. The blowing mechanism and the drying mechanism are set inside the drying box, and the box wall of the drying box is provided with avoidance openings at the corresponding loading and unloading positions. The blowing and drying of the product are carried out in the drying box, which can improve the blowing and drying efficiency of the product and avoid the spread of adhesive powder, which may affect the health of employees.
[0012] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of this utility model are as follows:
[0013] 1. The drying device can reduce the labor intensity of employees and reduce the harm of adhesive powder to employees' health. When the heat insulation pad is dried after being coated, the conveying mechanism drives the heat insulation pad to move at the blowing mechanism, so that the blowing mechanism blows the heat insulation pad. No employees need to get close to participate. After the blowing mechanism blows the heat insulation pad or during the process of blowing the heat insulation pad, the drying mechanism dries the heat insulation pad. The required time is short and the drying efficiency is high.
[0014] 2. When each component of the material assembly is in the standby position, the product is allowed to be blown apart by the blowing mechanism on the material support assembly. After the product is blown apart and dried, the material assembly can gather and adhere the product, making the product neatly arranged, thus facilitating the overall transfer of the product. A drying device is conducive to use in conjunction with structures such as robotic arms to realize the automatic coating and drying processing of heat insulation pads. Attached Figure Description

[0019] 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. Example
[0020] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, a drying device includes a conveying mechanism 1, a material support mechanism 2, a blowing mechanism 3, and a drying mechanism 4. This embodiment of the drying device is suitable for drying multiple stacked heat insulation pads or similar products. The conveying part of the conveying mechanism 1 is connected to the material support mechanism 2. Driven by the conveying mechanism 1, the material support mechanism 2 moves between a loading position, a blowing position, a drying position, and a unloading position.
[0021] When the material support mechanism 2 is in the loading position, stacked products can be placed on the material support mechanism 2, and the products are arranged horizontally so that the blowing mechanism 3 can blow the products apart. When the material support mechanism 2 is in the blowing position, the blowing mechanism 3 set at the blowing position blows the products on the material support mechanism 2 apart, separating the products and avoiding the paint of adjacent products from sticking together. Moreover, the separation of products is also conducive to improving the subsequent drying effect of the products. When the material support mechanism 2 is in the drying position, the drying mechanism 4 set at the drying position dries the products that have been blown apart on the material support mechanism 2. When the material support mechanism 2 is in the unloading position, the dried products can be removed from the material support mechanism 2 manually or by using a material handling robot.
[0022] The material support mechanism 2 includes a material support component and a material straightening component. The material support component is used to support the products. After the products are placed on the material support mechanism 2, the products are supported on the support surface of the material support component. The material straightening component is used to sort the products. After the products on the material support component are blown apart and dried, the material straightening component sorts the products neatly so that the material support mechanism 2 can remove multiple products from the material support component at the same time when unloading.
[0023] The material-forming assembly includes a material-forming drive unit 21 and two material-forming components 22. The material-forming components 22 are mounted on the material-supporting assembly and extend onto the material-supporting surface of the material-supporting assembly. A placement area is set between the two material-forming components 22 on the material-supporting surface of the material-supporting assembly. When products are placed on the material-supporting assembly, they are located within the placement area. The arrangement direction of each product in the placement area is consistent with the arrangement direction of the two material-forming components 22. The material-forming drive unit 21 drives the two material-forming components 22 to move between the material-forming position and the standby position. When the material-forming components 22 are in the standby position, the two material-forming components 22 are in a position far apart from each other. At this time, the distance between the two material-forming components 22 is relatively large, allowing products to be placed into the placement area, removed from the placement area, or the products in the placement area to be dispersed by the blowing mechanism 3. When the material-forming components 22 are in the material-forming position, the two material-forming components 22 are in a position close to each other. When the two material-forming components 22 move from the standby position to the material-forming position, the products in the placement area can be brought close together and arranged in a close-fitting manner. By adjusting the distance between the two integral parts 22 at the integral position, and placing an appropriate number of products in the placement area according to the product thickness, the integral assembly can neatly fit and arrange the products in the placement area to achieve integral material placement.
[0024] The material support assembly includes a material support frame 23 and a material support platform 24. The material support frame 23 is connected to the conveying section of the conveying mechanism 1. The material support platform 24 is mounted on the material support frame 23. A ventilation gap is provided below the material support platform 24 between it and the conveying mechanism 1 or between it and the base of the material support frame 23. A ventilation hole is provided on the material support platform 24, which communicates with the ventilation gap. The whole material component 22 passes through the ventilation hole and is driven by the whole material drive component 21 to move along the ventilation hole. When blowing or drying the product on the material support platform 24, air can pass through the ventilation hole and the ventilation gap, improving the blowing and drying effect of the product, and facilitating the flow out of any paint that may fall off the product through the ventilation hole.
[0025] The material support platform 24 preferably has multiple ventilation holes. In this case, the top of the whole material 22 can be set as a fork shape, and the fork of the whole material 22 passes through multiple ventilation holes respectively.
[0026] The material-forming drive component 21 is set in the ventilation gap. Two material-forming components 22 can share one material-forming drive component 21. In this case, the material-forming drive component 21 can be a telescopic component in the form of a double-output shaft cylinder, electric push rod, etc. Alternatively, each of the two material-forming components 22 can have a corresponding material-forming drive component 21. In this case, the material-forming drive component 21 can be a linear module or a telescopic component in the form of a cylinder, electric push rod, etc.
[0027] The blowing mechanism 3 is an air knife. The air knife adopts existing technology products. The air outlet of the air knife is perpendicular to the conveying direction of the conveying mechanism 1. When the conveying mechanism 1 drives the material support mechanism 2 to the blowing position, the conveying mechanism 1 drives the material support mechanism 2 to move back and forth repeatedly in the blowing position, so that the air knife can completely blow away the products on the material support mechanism 2.
[0028] Multiple air knives can be configured, each distributed above and to the side of the conveying mechanism 1 and staggered along the conveying direction of the conveying mechanism 1, to disperse the products on the material support mechanism 2. In a preferred embodiment, the dispersing mechanism 3 includes a horizontal air knife 31 and a vertical air knife 32. The horizontal air knife 31 is horizontally positioned above the conveying mechanism 1 to blow air downwards and disperse the products. The vertical air knife 32 is vertically positioned to the side of the conveying mechanism 1 to blow air from the side and disperse the products. The horizontal air knife 31 and / or the vertical air knife 32 can also be equipped with an adjustment drive mechanism, such as a cylinder, to adjust the distance between the air knife and the products, thereby improving the dispersing effect.
[0029] Furthermore, the material support assembly also includes a side baffle 25, which is disposed on the material support platform 24. The area between the side baffle 25 and the two whole material parts 22 on the material support platform 24 is the material placement area. The side baffle 25 and the vertical air knife 32 are respectively located on opposite sides of the material support platform 24. The side baffle 25 is also provided with ventilation holes. The side baffle 25 can prevent the product from moving and detaching from the material support platform 24 when the vertical air knife 32 blows the product away from the side.
[0030] The drying mechanism 4 includes a drying fan that continuously blows air onto the drying position to dry the product; the fan may also be equipped with a heating element to quickly dry the product by continuously blowing hot air onto the drying position.
[0031] In a further embodiment, the drying position and the blowing position are located in one place. In this case, the drying fan includes at least two air outlets, each located above the conveying mechanism 1 and distributed along the conveying direction of the conveying mechanism 1. A transverse air knife 31 is provided between adjacent air outlets. The conveying mechanism 1 drives the material support assembly to move back and forth within the blowing range of each air outlet, blowing away the product while simultaneously drying it, further improving the drying efficiency.
[0032] In a preferred embodiment, a drying device further includes a drying chamber 5, which is located between the loading position and the unloading position. The blowing mechanism 3 and the drying mechanism 4 are located inside the drying chamber 5. The drying chamber 5 can concentrate the air blown by the blowing mechanism 3 and the drying mechanism 4 to further improve the drying effect on the product and prevent the glue powder from flying and affecting the health of employees. A heating structure can also be installed inside the drying chamber 5.
[0033] The drying chamber 5 has clearance openings on its walls at the corresponding loading and unloading positions. The conveying mechanism 1 is in the form of a chain conveyor, belt conveyor, etc. The conveying mechanism 1 passes through the two clearance openings. The loading and unloading positions are outside the drying chamber 5 to facilitate loading and unloading onto the material support mechanism 2.
[0034] In this embodiment, a drying device is used for edge sealing of heat insulation pads. First, the material support mechanism 2 moves to the loading position and each component 22 is in the standby position. Multiple stacked heat insulation pads are placed horizontally in the material placement area of the material support mechanism 2. Then, the conveying mechanism 1 drives the material support mechanism 2 to the blowing position. The conveying mechanism 1 drives the material support mechanism 2 to move back and forth several times in the blowing position, so that the blowing mechanism 3 blows away the products in the material placement area and separates the products. Then, the conveying mechanism 1 drives the material support mechanism 2 to the drying position. The drying mechanism 4 dries the products on the material support mechanism 2. Then, the conveying mechanism 1 drives the material support mechanism 2 to the unloading position. Each component 22 moves from the standby position to the material placement position. Each component 22 cooperates to make the products in the material placement area fit together and arrange neatly. Then, each component 22 moves from the material placement position to the standby position. At this time, the heat insulation pads on the material support mechanism 2 can be removed. Then, the conveying mechanism 1 drives the empty material support mechanism 2 back to the loading position for the next operation.
[0035] When the blowing and drying positions are integrated into one place, the blowing mechanism 3 blows the product away while the drying mechanism 4 blows air to dry the product. The conveying mechanism 1 drives the material support mechanism 2 to move back and forth in the blowing position and is also blown by the drying mechanism 4, which can improve the drying speed of the product and improve the overall production efficiency.
[0036] The drying device of this utility model is mainly applicable to the six-sided coating process of sheet-shaped heat insulation pad products. In this embodiment, the structure of the drying device is also described using the edge sealing process of sheet-shaped heat insulation pad products as an example. However, it is not limited to the use of the drying device. In addition to the processing of sheet-shaped heat insulation pad products, the drying device of this utility model is applicable to similar sheet-shaped products for edge sealing, gluing, coating and other processing.
