Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of glass instrument drying technology, specifically a glass instrument airflow dryer. Background Technology

[0002] In the laboratory, drying glassware is a critical step, and traditional methods include air drying, hot air drying, and high-temperature oven drying. Air drying is inefficient and highly susceptible to environmental factors; hot air drying is fast but may damage the instruments; and high-temperature oven drying is energy-intensive and unsuitable for thin-walled or heat-sensitive glassware.

[0003] This utility model, proposed by Chinese Patent Publication No. CN222165477U, relates to the field of glass instrument drying technology and discloses a temperature-adjustable airflow dryer for glass instruments. It includes a drying chamber with a glass cover on its upper side. Handles are fixedly connected to both sides of the glass cover, and an air outlet is located at the top of the glass cover. Fixing plates are fixedly connected to both sides of the drying chamber, and hot air pipes are installed on opposite sides of the fixing plates. Multiple branch pipes are fixedly connected to the opposite sides of the hot air pipes, and multiple air outlet pipes are fixedly connected to the upper side of each branch pipe. In this utility model, a first elastic strip secures the instrument from the inside, and a second elastic strip secures it from the outside, preventing the instrument from shaking during hot air drying. Hot air is blown out from the inside of the instrument through the air outlet pipes for drying, while a first heating element and a second heating element heat the instrument from the outside.

[0004] When implementing the above solution, the applicant found that in existing static or unidirectional air-blowing drying equipment, glass instruments always maintain a fixed posture, and hot air can only act on local surfaces, resulting in slow moisture evaporation and excessively long overall drying time, which cannot meet the needs of high-frequency use in laboratories. Based on this, this utility model designs a glass instrument airflow dryer to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0017] 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.

[0018] Please refer to Figures 1-4 A glass instrument airflow dryer, comprising: Drying box base 1, and drying box body 2 is installed on top of drying box base 1; A fixing mechanism is located inside the drying chamber 2 and limits and fixes the glass instruments. The flipping mechanism is located inside the drying chamber 2 and drives the fixing mechanism and glassware to flip. The flipping mechanism includes a driving component and a rotating component. The driving component is located inside the drying chamber 2 and drives the rotating component to rotate. The rotating component is located on one side of the driving component and drives the glassware to flip.

[0019] The drive assembly includes a mounting base 3 installed on one side of the drying chamber 2. A servo motor 4 is installed inside the mounting base 3, and a rotating rod 5 is installed on one side of the output shaft of the servo motor 4. The rotation assembly includes a tilting plate 6 installed on one side of the rotating rod 5. The tilting plate 6 has grooves 7 inside, and multiple sets of grooves 7 are horizontally distributed.

[0020] In this embodiment of the utility model, in order to avoid local overheating or drying dead zones, the servo motor 4 operates intermittently or continuously according to a preset program under the support of the mounting base 3. Its output shaft drives the flipping plate 6 to reciprocate around the horizontal axis from 0° to 180° through the rotating rod 5. During the flipping process, the glass instrument moves synchronously with the fixing mechanism. The liquid droplets remaining inside the instrument continuously change position and are continuously evaporated under the dual action of gravity and hot air flow, which significantly improves the drying efficiency and drying quality.

[0021] Please refer to Figures 1-4 The fixing mechanism includes a telescopic rod 8 installed inside the groove 7, a compression spring 9 installed on the outer ring of the telescopic rod 8, a limiting arc block 10 installed on one side of the telescopic rod 8 and the compression spring 9, a telescopic limiting rod 11 installed on the top of the flip plate 6, and a base support 12 installed on the top of the telescopic limiting rod 11. Multiple sets of telescopic rods 8 and compression springs 9 are arranged horizontally and symmetrically, multiple sets of limiting arc blocks 10 are arranged horizontally and symmetrically, and multiple sets of telescopic limiting rods 11 and base supports 12 are arranged horizontally.

[0022] A support block 13 is installed at the bottom of the drying oven base 1. Two sets of support blocks 13 are provided and are symmetrically distributed. A hot air pipe 14 is installed on one side of the drying oven base 1. A sealing plate 15 is hinged to the front of the drying oven body 2. A connecting handle 16 is installed on one side of the sealing plate 15. Two sets of both the sealing plate 15 and the connecting handle 16 are provided and are symmetrically distributed.

[0023] In this embodiment of the present invention, during the insertion process, the outer wall of the glass instrument first contacts the limiting arc block 10. After the limiting arc block 10 is squeezed, it drives the telescopic rod 8 and the compression spring 9 to retract inward. When the instrument is fully inserted into the groove 7, the restoring force of the compression spring 9 causes the limiting arc block 10 to clamp the instrument from both sides, thereby achieving radial positioning.

[0024] Before starting the device, open the two sets of symmetrical sealing plates 15 via the connecting handle 16, and insert the cleaned glass instrument upside down into the corresponding groove 7 on the flip plate 6. During insertion, the outer wall of the glass instrument first contacts the limiting arc block 10. After being compressed, the limiting arc block 10 causes the telescopic rod 8 and the compression spring 9 to retract inward. When the instrument is fully inserted into the groove 7, the restoring force of the compression spring 9 causes the limiting arc block 10 to clamp the instrument from both sides, achieving radial positioning. At the same time, the bottom of the instrument is pressed under the base 12, and the telescopic limiting rod 11 under the base 12 adaptively extends and retracts according to the length of the instrument, providing axial support, thereby completing the reliable positioning of the glass instrument through the fixing mechanism.

[0025] After the sealing plate 15 is closed, the external hot air source delivers a constant-temperature airflow into the drying chamber 2 through the hot air pipe 14 on the side wall of the drying chamber base 1. The airflow circulates within the chamber, entering the inner cavity from the opening end of the glass instrument, quickly removing the water film adhering to the inner wall, achieving rapid and uniform drying. To avoid localized overheating or drying dead zones, the servo motor 4, supported by the mounting base 3, operates intermittently or continuously according to a preset program. Its output shaft drives the flipping plate 6 to reciprocate around the horizontal axis from 0° to 180° via the rotating rod 5. During the flipping process, the glass instrument moves synchronously with the fixing mechanism. The residual droplets inside the instrument continuously change position and are continuously evaporated under the combined action of gravity and hot airflow, significantly improving drying efficiency and drying quality.

[0026] After drying is complete, the servo motor 4 stops rotating, and the flipping plate 6 returns to a horizontal position. The sealing plate 15 is opened, and the limiting arc block 10 automatically releases the glassware under the coordinated action of the telescopic rod 8 and the compression spring 9. The experimenter can then remove the completely dried glassware for subsequent operations. The entire process, through the cooperation of the flipping and fixing mechanisms, ensures the safe fixation of the glassware while achieving efficient, uniform, and low-energy airflow drying.

[0027] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
