Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of plastic processing equipment technology, and in particular to a plastic strip drying machine. Background Technology
[0002] In the plastics processing industry, the production of plastic strips requires a drying process to ensure product quality. Plastic strip dryers are key equipment used to remove moisture from the surface of the strips. Traditional dryers achieve drying by using a fan to deliver airflow through an air chamber, providing qualified semi-finished products for subsequent processing.
[0003] With the diversification of plastic strip products, different materials such as rigid PVC and soft PE, as well as strips with different specifications and shapes, have different requirements for drying airflow. For example, rigid strips can withstand strong airflow for rapid drying, while soft strips are easily deformed by strong airflow. Narrow strips require concentrated airflow, while wide strips require even airflow coverage. At the same time, the speed of the strips and the surface condition, such as those with grooves or protrusions, will fluctuate during production. Traditional dryers have a fixed air duct structure, making it difficult to flexibly adjust the airflow direction and intensity, and thus cannot accurately adapt to changing needs. Utility Model Content

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: A plastic strip dryer includes a dryer body, wherein the air blowing part of the dryer body is provided with an air outlet hood, and the air outlet hood is provided with an adjusting component that can change the air direction and airflow. The adjusting component is detachably installed on the air outlet hood by means of a snap-fit component.
[0006] Preferably, the adjusting component includes a rotating rod and an adjusting plate. The adjusting plate has a through hole, and the rotating rod is disposed in the through hole. The rotating rod is detachably connected to the air outlet hood via a snap-fit. The adjusting plate is rotatably disposed inside the air outlet hood. The snap-fit facilitates the user's disassembly and assembly of the adjusting component. When the adjusting component is damaged or needs to be replaced, the snap-fit can be removed to take the adjusting component out of the air outlet hood, which greatly facilitates maintenance and replacement work.
[0007] Preferably, the air outlet cover has a through hole, and the two ends of the rotating rod pass through the through hole. The two ends of the rotating rod have slots, and the locking member is located in the slot. Its adjustment plate can rotate to adjust the angle. The slot provides an installation position for the locking member, ensuring that the locking member can stably limit the rotating rod.
[0008] Preferably, the snap-fit component is an elastic retaining ring with an opening. The elastic retaining ring abuts against the outside of the air outlet cover to restrict the axial movement of the rotating rod. The elastic retaining ring has a certain degree of elasticity, making it easy for the user to install it in the slot.
[0009] Preferably, the inner sides of the air outlet hood are symmetrically arranged as arc surfaces. There are two adjustment components, which are respectively located on the arc surfaces on both sides of the air outlet hood. The end of the adjustment plate near the arc surface is in contact with the arc surface. The two adjustment components are respectively located on both sides of the air outlet hood, which can adjust the airflow from different directions, further improving the flexibility of wind direction and airflow adjustment.
[0010] Preferably, the center of rotation of the adjusting plate is coaxial with the center of the arc surface, so that the end of the adjusting plate close to the arc surface can always keep in contact with the arc surface during the rotation process, ensuring the stability of the airflow.
[0011] Preferably, the adjusting plate has a deformation groove, and a positioning plate with deformation force is provided in the deformation groove. One end of the positioning plate is fixedly connected to the adjusting plate. The positioning plate can deform and abut against the inner side wall of the air outlet hood to position the adjusting plate. The positioning plate can stably position the adjusting plate after the angle is adjusted.
[0012] Preferably, the positioning plate and the adjusting plate are made by an integral molding process, which makes the connection between the positioning plate and the adjusting plate more secure and improves the structural strength and service life of the positioning plate.
[0013] Preferably, the air outlet hood is provided with an air inlet, and the air inlet is provided with a connecting end. The air outlet hood is installed on the dryer body through the connecting end.
[0014] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: This invention features an adjustable component inside the air outlet hood that can change the airflow direction and volume. This allows for flexible adjustment to meet the needs of different plastic strips, effectively improving the uniformity of drying and reducing drying dead zones. The adjustable component is detachably installed on the air outlet hood via a snap-fit mechanism, facilitating installation, disassembly, and maintenance, thus reducing equipment maintenance costs. Furthermore, the adjustable plate is equipped with a stable positioning plate that has a deformation force. This positioning plate can press against the inner wall of the air outlet hood to position the adjustable plate, ensuring that it remains stable after the angle is adjusted, thereby improving the reliability of the equipment.

Example
[0022] Please see Figure 1-7 A plastic strip dryer includes a dryer body, an air outlet hood 1 on the air blowing section of the dryer body, an adjustment component 3 inside the air outlet hood 1 that can change the air direction and airflow, the adjustment component 3 being detachably mounted on the air outlet hood 1 via a snap-fit component 34, a water receiving tray assembly 2 on the dryer body, the water receiving tray assembly 2 being used to hold the plastic strip and catch falling water, and the air outlet of the air outlet hood 1 facing the water receiving tray assembly 2. The adjusting component 3 includes a rotating rod 32 and an adjusting plate 31. The adjusting plate 31 has a through hole, and the rotating rod 32 is installed in the through hole. The rotating rod 32 is detachably connected to the air outlet shroud 1 through a snap-fit 34. The adjusting plate 31 is rotatably mounted inside the air outlet shroud 1. When installing the adjusting component 3, the rotating rod 32 is passed through the through hole on the adjusting plate 31 to fix the adjusting plate 31 on the rotating rod 32. Then, both ends of the rotating rod 32 are inserted into the rotating holes 13 on the air outlet shroud 1. The snap-fit 34 is then installed in the slots 33 at both ends of the rotating rod 32 to achieve a detachable connection between the adjusting component 3 and the air outlet shroud 1. This installation method is simple and convenient. When the adjusting component 3 is damaged or needs to be replaced, the snap-fit 34 can be removed to take the adjusting component 3 out of the air outlet shroud 1, which greatly facilitates maintenance and replacement work. A rotating hole 13 is provided through the air outlet shroud 1. Both ends of the rotating rod 32 are inserted into the rotating hole 13. The two ends of the rotating rod 32 are provided with slots 33. The locking member 34 is provided in the slots 33. Its adjustment plate 31 can rotate to adjust the angle. The slots 33 provide an installation position for the locking member 34, ensuring that the locking member 34 can stably limit the rotating rod 32. The snap-fit part 34 is an elastic retaining ring with an opening. The elastic retaining ring abuts against the outside of the air outlet cover 1 to restrict the axial movement of the rotating rod 32. The elastic retaining ring has a certain elasticity. During installation, simply pry open its opening and put it into the slot 33 of the rotating rod 32. After releasing, the elastic retaining ring will automatically tighten and be tightly locked in the slot 33, abutting against the outside of the air outlet cover 1, effectively preventing the rotating rod 32 from moving in the axial direction and ensuring the stable installation of the adjusting part 3. The interior of the air outlet hood 1 is symmetrically designed with arc surfaces 11 on both sides. There are two adjusting components 3, which are respectively located on the arc surfaces 11 on both sides inside the air outlet hood 1. The end of the adjusting plate 31 near the arc surface 11 is in contact with the arc surface 11. The two adjusting components 3 are respectively located on both sides inside the air outlet hood 1, which can adjust the airflow from different directions, further improving the flexibility of airflow direction and airflow adjustment. The contact between the adjusting plate 31 and the arc surface 11 can reduce the leakage of airflow between the two and ensure the effective utilization of airflow. The center of rotation of the adjusting plate 31 is coaxial with the center of the arc surface 11. This design ensures that the end of the adjusting plate 31 closest to the arc surface 11 remains in contact with the arc surface 11 during rotation, thus ensuring the stability of the airflow and improving the drying effect. The adjusting plate 31 has a deformation groove 311, and a positioning plate 35 with deformation force is provided in the deformation groove 311. One end of the positioning plate 35 is fixedly connected to the adjusting plate 31. The positioning plate 35 can deform and abut against the inner wall of the air outlet hood 1 to position the adjusting plate 31. When it is necessary to adjust the angle of the adjusting plate 31, the adjusting plate 31 is rotated. The positioning plate 35 will deform due to the pressure of the inner wall of the air outlet hood 1, generating elasticity. When the adjusting plate 31 is adjusted to a suitable angle, the elasticity of the positioning plate 35 will make it press tightly against the inner wall of the air outlet hood 1, thereby positioning the adjusting plate 31 at the current angle. The elasticity of the positioning plate 35 is sufficient to maintain the current angle positioning of the adjusting plate 31 and prevent the adjusting plate 31 from rotating under the action of airflow, thus ensuring the stability of the drying process. The positioning plate 35 and the adjusting plate 31 are made by an integral molding process. The integral molding process makes the connection between the positioning plate 35 and the adjusting plate 31 more secure, improves the structural strength and service life of the positioning plate 35, and simplifies the production process and reduces production costs. The air outlet hood 1 is provided with an air inlet, and the air inlet is provided with a connecting end 12. The air outlet hood 1 is installed on the dryer body through the connecting end 12. The setting of the connecting end 12 facilitates the connection between the air outlet hood 1 and the dryer body, and ensures the stability and firmness of the installation of the air outlet hood 1. In operation, the plastic strip is placed in the corresponding position on the dryer body, below the air outlet of the air outlet hood 1. Depending on the specifications and material of the plastic strip, the user pinches the adjusting plate 31 from below the air outlet hood 1, thereby rotating the adjusting plate 31 to adjust its angle. The positioning plate 35 will abut against the inner wall of the air outlet hood 1 after deformation, fixing the adjusting plate 31 at a suitable angle. Then, the dryer body is started, and the airflow enters from the air inlet of the air outlet hood 1. After being guided by the adjusting plate 31, it blows onto the plastic strip with a suitable wind direction and airflow to dry it. During the drying process, the adjusting plate 31 can be stably maintained at the set angle, ensuring the stability and uniformity of the drying effect.

The purpose of the present invention has been fully and effectively achieved. The functions and structural principles of the present invention have been shown and explained in the embodiments.
