Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of aluminum single-panel accessory production equipment, and in particular relates to an automatic drying device for aluminum single-panel accessories. Background Technology
[0002] Aluminum single-panel is a high-performance building decoration material made of aluminum alloy sheet as the base material and processed by CNC bending, surface spraying and other processes. It is widely used in building curtain walls, interior decoration and public facilities.
[0003] In existing technologies, aluminum panels are mainly connected using aluminum panel accessories such as rivets and aluminum welding studs. These aluminum panel accessories are primarily processed by cold heading, which requires the use of lubricating oil (or lubricating medium) to ensure smooth forming.
[0004] This process leaves a layer of lubricating oil on the surface of the finished aluminum panel components. Therefore, this lubricating oil needs to be cleaned. The current practice is to place the processed aluminum panel components into a large basin, pour in water containing detergent, and have workers stir it with both hands to clean the components (finally rinsing off the detergent with clean water). After cleaning, workers use a strainer to scoop out the aluminum panel components and place them on a carrying cart. In spring, summer, and autumn, they are naturally air-dried. In winter, due to the low outdoor temperatures in northern regions, they are dried indoors using heating equipment (small electric heaters). Once dried, they are bagged and packaged.
[0005] While the above methods can dry aluminum panel accessories in winter, they are inefficient and energy-intensive. Utility Model Content
[0006] This invention addresses the technical problems existing in drying aluminum panel accessories in northern winters by proposing an automatic drying device for aluminum panel accessories that is reasonably designed, simple in structure, easy to process, and can achieve high-efficiency drying of aluminum panel accessories.

Detailed Implementation
[0021] To better understand the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of this utility model, the present utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in these embodiments can be combined with each other.
[0022] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed in the following specification.
[0023] Example 1, such as Figures 1-5 As shown, this embodiment aims to provide a drying device that can automatically dry the water after rinsing aluminum panel accessories when the weather is cold in northern winters. To achieve the above objective, the automatic drying device for aluminum panel accessories provided in this embodiment includes a holding trolley 1 for holding aluminum panel accessories. The holding trolley 1 is mainly used to lay the aluminum panel accessories flat to facilitate their air drying or baking.
[0024] In order to achieve energy saving and improve drying efficiency, in this embodiment, a drying hood 2 is provided above the holding cart 1. The drying hood 2 is used to cover the holding cart 1. For this purpose, the drying hood 2 is also set in a cuboid shape. Openings are provided at the front and rear ends of the drying hood 2, and sealing curtains 21 are hung at the openings. The function of the sealing curtains 21 is to maintain the drying hood 2 to a certain extent and allow the dried water to be discharged.
[0025] A hot air drying mechanism 3 is provided on the top of the drying hood 2. The hot air drying mechanism 3 mainly includes an air filter (optional), a fan and an electric heating device. The air blown by the fan is turned into hot air by the electric heating device and then enters the drying hood 2 to achieve hot air drying of aluminum single panel accessories. The hot air drying mechanism 3 is an existing mature structure, which is often used in tunnel-type hot air dryers. Therefore, it will not be described in detail in this embodiment.
[0026] To facilitate the movement of the holding trolley 1, in this embodiment, support legs 22 are provided at the bottom of the drying hood 2, and the support legs 22 are located on both sides of the drying hood 2. Thus, the drying hood 2 is suspended above the holding trolley 1 via the support legs 22, and the holding trolley 1 can be pushed and pulled down below the drying hood 2. In this embodiment, to facilitate the movement of the holding trolley 1 at the bottom of the drying hood 2, guide tubes 131 are provided on both sides of the holding trolley 1. The guide tubes 131 are semi-cylindrical, and guide grooves that cooperate with the guide tubes 131 are provided on both sides of the bottom of the drying hood 2. This prevents instability during the pushing process of the holding trolley 1.
[0027] The above settings ensure that the storage cart 1 can continue to be used while meeting the drying needs in winter. At the same time, the limited space for drying reduces energy consumption and improves efficiency.
[0028] To further improve drying efficiency, in this embodiment, the holding cart 1 includes a frame 11 and wheels 12 at the bottom of the frame 11. Since there is no need to consider shock absorption, the frame 11 is arranged in a rectangular frame shape, and reinforcing bars are arranged at intervals within the frame to ensure the strength of the entire frame 11.
[0029] A container 13 is provided above the frame 11. The container 13 is also rectangular and mainly consists of a front baffle, a rear baffle, side plates, and a bottom frame. The guide tube 131 is welded to the side plate. A support rod 15 is provided between the container 13 and the frame 11. The support rod 15 is located at both the front and rear ends of the frame 11. The main purpose of the support rod 15 is to create a gap between the container 13 and the frame 11.
[0030] Thus, a base plate 14 is provided at the bottom of the holding tank 13, and a rotating shaft 141 is provided at the bottom of the base plate 14. The rotating shaft 141 is fixed to the base plate 14 by a mounting seat. A bearing seat is installed at the bottom of the holding tank 13. In this way, by rotating the rotating shaft 141, the base plate 14 can be flipped. The purpose of flipping is to allow the aluminum single-panel accessories above the base plate 14 to move, thereby improving the drying efficiency.
[0031] To prevent the aluminum panel accessories from falling off when the base plate 14 is flipped, extension plates 17 are provided on both sides of the holding groove 13. The extension plates 17 are extensions of the side plates, and the side of the extension plates 17 close to the base plate 14 is set with an arc surface. In this way, the two sides of the base plate 14 are aligned with the extension plates 17 when flipped, thereby preventing the aluminum panel accessories from falling off. Of course, the flipping angle of the base plate 14 is limited, just enough to move the aluminum panel accessories.
[0032] To control the tilting of the base plate 14, a tilting mechanism for driving the tilting of the base plate 14 is provided on the frame 11. The tilting mechanism can be a motor located at the end of the rotating shaft 141. Considering that the motor must be used with a reducer, which would be costly, in this embodiment, the tilting mechanism includes a tilting cylinder 4 located on one side of the frame. The fixed end of the tilting cylinder 4 is hinged to the frame, and the piston end of the tilting cylinder 4 is hinged to the base plate 14. Specifically, a U-shaped hinge lug 111 is provided on the frame, and a U-shaped connecting lug 142 is provided at the bottom of the base plate 14. Both the hinge lug 111 and the connecting lug 142 are provided with rotating shafts, thereby achieving hinged connection with both ends of the tilting cylinder 4.
[0033] The tilting cylinder 4 can be a pneumatic cylinder, a hydraulic cylinder, or an electric cylinder. Considering ease of use, an electric cylinder is preferred. This allows the base plate 14 to tilt by extending and retracting the tilting cylinder 4. The tilting cylinder 4 is not located on both sides to simplify control. If it were located on both sides, extending one tilting cylinder 4 would require retracting the other, making the control of two tilting cylinders 4 relatively cumbersome. Furthermore, placing it on one side helps maintain the stability of the base plate 14.
[0034] To ensure the stability of the base plate 14 during tilting, the tilting cylinders 4 are spaced out on one side of the frame.
[0035] To further improve the stability of the entire holding trolley 1, in this embodiment, an intermediate plate 132 is also provided at the bottom of the holding trough 13. The intermediate plate 132 is located in the middle of the placement trough and divides the bottom plate 14 into a front bottom plate and a rear bottom plate. An auxiliary support rod 16 is also provided between the frame and the intermediate plate 132. This avoids the bottom plate 14 from being too long, resulting in structural instability or requiring the use of thicker materials.
[0036] In this way, by utilizing the extension and retraction of the tilting cylinder 4, the aluminum single panel is driven to roll on the base plate 14, thereby further improving the drying efficiency.
[0037] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model in any other way. Any person skilled in the art may make changes or modifications to the above-disclosed technical content to create equivalent embodiments for application in other fields. However, any simple modifications, equivalent changes, and modifications made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present utility model without departing from the technical solution of the present utility model shall still fall within the protection scope of the technical solution of the present utility model.
