Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of slipper drying technology, specifically relating to a drying and shaping device. Background Technology

[0002] As a daily consumable, slippers are produced on a large scale and the quality requirements are increasing year by year. Especially with the diversification of materials, the dimensional stability, hygiene and safety, and material shaping effect of the finished product have become core quality indicators. In the modern slipper production process, the drying and shaping process of slipper manufacturing directly affects the yield and service life. On the one hand, slipper materials contain moisture or residual heat after injection molding or compression molding, and need to be dried to remove moisture and solidify the molecular structure. On the other hand, some slippers need to maintain their shape at a specific temperature to avoid softness or deformation.

[0003] In traditional processes, slippers are mostly dried by natural air drying or simple oven drying. However, these methods are inefficient, highly susceptible to environmental humidity, and require a lot of space, making it difficult to meet the continuous and high-precision requirements of large-scale production. With the development of automated equipment, although some production lines have introduced fixed or conveyor belt drying equipment, these devices generally have problems such as uneven hot air distribution, many drying dead corners, and the need for slippers to be frequently turned over manually to ensure uniformity. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of this, the present invention provides a drying and shaping device, which can spray surrounding hot air onto slippers through the drying and shaping mechanism, and in conjunction with the compound rotational motion of the slipper rack, make the slippers continuously rotate in three-dimensional space, so as to achieve all-round three-dimensional drying of the upper, sole and cavity of the shoe.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides a drying and shaping device, including a ring frame and a drying and shaping mechanism disposed therein. The ring frame has a feeding notch at its upper end. The drying and shaping mechanism includes a rotating plate rotatably connected to the middle of the ring frame. Several distributed slipper racks are rotatably connected to the plate body of the ring frame's inner cavity. The plate body of the ring frame's inner cavity is inclined downwards, and the angle between the slipper racks and the inclined plate body of the rotating plate is 90 degrees. An upper drying pipe is provided at the upper end of the inner cavity of the ring frame, and a lower drying pipe is provided on the outer diameter arc surface of the inner cavity of the ring frame. The ring frame also has an ejection component for ejecting the dried slippers, which can spray surrounding hot air onto the slippers and, in conjunction with the compound rotational motion of the slipper racks, make the slippers continuously rotate in three-dimensional space, achieving all-round three-dimensional drying of the upper, sole, and cavity of the shoes.

[0006] The drying and shaping mechanism also includes gears respectively set at the lower end of the slipper rack. The inner diameter arc surface of the ring frame is provided with toothed rings. The gears are all in active meshing with the toothed rings. The toothed rings are open near the feeding notch, which plays a role in rapid transmission.

[0007] The drying and shaping mechanism also includes a drive motor located at the lower end of the ring frame. The output shaft of the drive motor is fixedly connected to the central end of the rotating plate, thus providing a drive source for the rotating plate.

[0008] The ejection assembly includes a sliding top frame that is slidably connected to the rotating plate near each slipper rack. The bottom of the ring frame near the feeding notch is provided with an arc-shaped plate. The sliding top frame is in movable cooperation with the arc-shaped plate, which serves to lift the slippers.

[0009] The upper end of each sliding top shelf is ring-shaped, and the upper end of the sliding top shelf is movably fitted with the adjacent slipper rack on the same side, ensuring that it can contact the bottom of the slippers.

[0010] The ejection assembly also includes fixing blocks respectively disposed at the lower end of the sliding top frame. Springs are provided between the fixing blocks and the rotating plate to provide elastic force.

[0011] The lower end of each sliding top frame is equipped with a rotating wheel, which makes active contact with the arc plate, thereby reducing the coefficient of friction with the arc plate.

[0012] The air outlets of both the upper and lower drying tubes face the slipper rack, ensuring that the air is directed at the slippers.

[0013] The beneficial effects of the above-mentioned technical solution of this utility model are as follows:

[0014] 1. Connect the air inlets of the upper and lower drying pipes to the air outlets of the external dryer to establish a hot air circulation channel. Then, start the drive motor, and its output shaft drives the rotating plate to rotate at a constant speed along the central axis of the ring frame, thereby driving the slipper rack to rotate synchronously. During this process, the operator places the slippers to be dried one by one onto the rotating slipper rack through the feeding notch at the upper end of the ring frame. When the slippers enter the ring frame with the slipper rack, the gear at the lower end of the slipper rack meshes with the open toothed ring on the inner wall of the ring frame. This ensures that the slipper rack revolves with the rotating plate, while the relative motion of the gear and the toothed ring drives the slipper rack to slowly rotate around its own axis. At this time, the upper drying pipe applies vertical hot air to the slippers from the top down, while the lower drying pipe sprays surrounding hot air from the outside of the ring frame inward. Combined with the compound rotational motion of the slipper rack, the slippers continuously rotate in three-dimensional space, achieving all-round three-dimensional drying of the upper, sole, and cavity of the shoe.

[0015] 2. When the slipper rack carrying the dried slippers rotates to directly below the feeding notch of the ring frame, the gear separates from the opening of the toothed ring, and the slipper rack loses its rotational power and stops rotating. At this time, the rotating plate continues to drive the slipper rack forward, and the rotating wheel below the sliding top frame contacts the guide surface of the arc plate. Under the action of the inclined surface thrust of the arc plate, the sliding top frame overcomes the spring force and moves upward, thereby unloading the dried slippers from the slipper rack. The entire drying and unloading process does not require machine interruption and can continuously receive new slippers for the next cycle of operation.

[0016] 3. By using the rolling contact between the rotating wheel and the arc plate, the coefficient of friction can be maximized, ensuring smooth operation between the various mechanisms.

[0017] 4. Due to the tilted design of the rotating plate, the slippers that are pushed out will naturally slide down the tilted surface to the collection area below. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0023] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the following will be described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of this utility model. Figure 1-4 The technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model are clearly and completely described herein. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this utility model. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the described embodiments of this utility model are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0024] This embodiment provides a drying and shaping device, such as... Figure 1-4The device includes a ring frame 100 and a drying and shaping mechanism disposed therein. The ring frame 100 has a feeding notch at its upper end. The drying and shaping mechanism includes a rotating plate 200 rotatably connected to the middle of the ring frame 100. Several distributed slipper racks 201 are rotatably connected to the rotating plate 200 within the inner cavity of the ring frame 100. The rotating plate 200 within the inner cavity of the ring frame 100 is inclined downwards, and the angle between the slipper racks 201 and the inclined plate 200 is 90 degrees. An upper drying pipe 202 is provided at the upper end of the inner cavity of the ring frame 100, and a lower drying pipe 202 is provided on the outer arc surface of the inner cavity of the ring frame 100. The dry pipe 203 and the ring frame 100 are also equipped with a push-out component for pushing out the dried slippers. The drying and shaping mechanism also includes gears 204 respectively set at the lower end of the slipper rack 201. The inner diameter arc surface of the ring frame 100 is provided with a toothed ring 205. The gears 204 are all in active mesh with the toothed ring 205. The toothed ring 205 is open near the feeding notch. The drying and shaping mechanism also includes a drive motor 206 set at the lower end of the ring frame 100. The output shaft of the drive motor 206 is fixedly connected to the axial end of the rotating plate 200. The air outlets of the upper drying pipe 202 and the lower drying pipe 203 are both facing the slipper rack 201.

[0025] First, the air inlets of the upper drying pipe 202 and the lower drying pipe 203 are connected to the air outlets of the external dryer to establish a hot air circulation channel. Then, the drive motor 206 is started, and its output shaft rotates, causing the rotating plate 200 to rotate uniformly along the central axis of the ring frame 100, thereby driving the slipper rack 201 to rotate synchronously. During this process, the operator places the slippers to be dried one by one onto the rotating slipper rack 201 through the feeding notch at the top of the ring frame 100. When the slippers enter the ring frame 100 along with the slipper rack 201, the slipper rack 201... The gear 204 at the lower end meshes with the open toothed ring 205 on the inner wall of the ring frame 100, ensuring that the slipper rack 201 revolves with the rotating plate 200, while the relative motion of the gear and the toothed ring drives the slipper rack 201 to slowly rotate around its own axis. At this time, the upper drying pipe 202 applies vertical hot air to the slippers from the top downwards, while the lower drying pipe 203 sprays surrounding hot air from the outside of the ring frame 100 inwards. Combined with the compound rotational motion of the slipper rack 201, the slippers continuously rotate in three-dimensional space, achieving all-round three-dimensional drying of the upper, sole and cavity of the shoe.

[0026] like Figure 1-4As shown, the ejection assembly includes a sliding top frame 300 slidably connected to the rotating plate 200 near each slipper rack 201. The bottom of the ring frame 100 near the feeding notch is provided with an arc plate 301. The sliding top frame 300 is movably engaged with the arc plate 301. The upper end of the sliding top frame 300 is ring-shaped. The upper end of the sliding top frame 300 is movably fitted with the adjacent slipper rack 201 on the same side. The ejection assembly also includes fixing blocks 302 respectively provided at the lower end of the sliding top frame 300. Springs 303 are provided between the fixing blocks 302 and the rotating plate 200.

[0027] When the slipper rack 201 carrying the dried slippers rotates to directly below the feeding notch of the ring frame 100, the gear 204 separates from the opening of the toothed ring 205, and the slipper rack 201 loses its rotational power and stops rotating. At this time, the rotating plate 200 continues to drive the slipper rack 201 to move forward. The rotating wheel 400 below the sliding top frame 300 contacts the guide surface of the arc plate 301. Under the action of the inclined surface thrust of the arc plate 301, the sliding top frame 300 overcomes the elastic force of the spring 303 and moves upward, thereby unloading the dried slippers from the slipper rack 201. Due to the inclined design of the rotating plate 200 itself, the pushed slippers slide naturally down the inclined surface to the collection area below. The entire drying and unloading process does not need to be stopped and can continuously receive new slippers for the next cycle. After the sliding top frame 300 moves out of the contact range with the arc plate 301, the sliding top frame 300 resets under the action of the elastic force of the spring 303.

[0028] like Figure 1-4 As shown, the lower end of the sliding top frame 300 is provided with a rotating wheel 400, and the rotating wheel 400 is in contact with the arc plate 301.

[0029] By rotating the wheel 400 and rolling the arc plate 301, the coefficient of friction can be maximized, ensuring smooth operation between the various mechanisms.

[0030] The working principle of the drying and shaping device provided by this utility model is as follows: First, the air inlets of the upper drying pipe 202 and the lower drying pipe 203 are connected to the air outlet of the external dryer to establish a hot air circulation channel. Then, the drive motor 206 is started, and its output shaft drives the rotating plate 200 to rotate at a constant speed along the central axis of the ring frame 100, thereby driving the slipper rack 201 to rotate synchronously. During this process, the operator places the slippers to be dried one by one into the rotating rack through the feeding notch at the upper end of the ring frame 100. On the slipper rack 201, when slippers enter the ring frame 100 along with the slipper rack 201, the gear 204 at the lower end of the slipper rack 201 meshes with the open toothed ring 205 on the inner wall of the ring frame 100. This ensures that the slipper rack 201 revolves with the rotating plate 200, while also driving the slipper rack 201 to slowly rotate around its own axis through the relative motion of the gear and the toothed ring. At this time, the upper drying pipe 202 applies vertical hot air to the slippers from the top downwards, while the lower drying pipe 203 applies hot air from the outside of the ring frame 100 inwards. The jetting of hot air, combined with the compound rotational motion of the slipper rack 201, causes the slippers to continuously rotate in three-dimensional space, achieving all-round three-dimensional drying of the upper, sole, and cavity. When the slipper rack 201, carrying the dried slippers, rotates to directly below the loading notch of the ring frame 100, the gear 204 separates from the opening of the toothed ring 205, and the slipper rack 201 loses its rotational power and stops rotating. At this time, the rotating plate 200 continues to drive the slipper rack 201 forward, and the sliding top frame 300 rotates below it. The wheel 400 contacts the guide surface of the arc plate 301. The rolling friction between the rotating wheel 400 and the arc plate 301 replaces the sliding friction. Under the action of the inclined surface thrust of the arc plate 301, the sliding top frame 300 overcomes the elastic force of the spring 303 and moves upward, thereby unloading the dried slippers from the slipper rack 201. Due to the inclined design of the rotating plate 200 itself, the pushed slippers naturally slide down the inclined surface to the collection area below. The entire drying and unloading process does not need to be stopped and can continuously receive new slippers for the next cycle of operation.

[0031] Furthermore, it should be noted that, in the description of this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "joining" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model according to the specific circumstances.

[0032] The above description is the preferred embodiment of this utility model. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principle of this utility model, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the protection scope of this utility model.
