Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of artificial flower production and processing technology, and in particular to a constant temperature drying device for color fixing treatment of artificial flowers. Background Technology

[0002] Artificial flowers, also known as artificial flowers, silk flowers, or velvet flowers, are fake flowers made by imitating fresh flowers using materials such as cloth, crepe paper, polyester, plastic, crystal yarn, and silk. Artificial flowers are favored for their long-lasting freshness, ability to be arranged according to the season and needs, long viewing period, and low maintenance costs. They are widely used in home decoration, gift and craft production, opening ceremonies, wedding banquets, and other occasions.

[0003] Color fixing is a crucial step in the production of artificial flowers. The purpose of color fixing is to maintain the original vibrant colors of the flowers and prevent fading, discoloration, or dulling during the drying process. Currently, the color fixing process involves placing the artificial flowers with the stems facing down and the petals facing up in a constant-temperature drying device, and then drying them with hot steam. However, undried artificial flowers have heavier petals, which can easily cause them to droop, affecting the overall aesthetic appeal. Utility Model Content

[0004] This invention provides a constant temperature drying device for color fixing of artificial flowers, which solves the technical problem that petals tend to droop and affect the aesthetics of artificial flowers when the constant temperature drying device is used for color fixing.

[0005] To achieve this technical objective, the present invention adopts the following solution: a constant temperature drying device for color fixing of simulated flower colors, comprising an oven, a clamp, and an air jet mechanism;

[0006] The oven is equipped with an openable glass door, and a main pipe connected to an external heat source is fixed inside the oven.

[0007] The clamp is fixed to the inner top surface of the oven to fix the artificial flowers to be dried, with the artificial flowers upside down inside the oven;

[0008] The jet mechanism is connected to the main pipe and covers the petals of the artificial flower to dry it.

[0009] Furthermore, the clamp includes a support cylinder, a rigid main clamping plate, flexible side plates, and springs;

[0010] The support cylinder is fixedly connected to the inner top surface of the oven. The support cylinder extends vertically, and a vertically extending clearance groove is provided on the side wall of the support cylinder near the glass door.

[0011] The rigid main clamp is arc-shaped. The inner wall of the rigid main clamp abuts against the stem of the artificial flower. The outer wall of the rigid main clamp is fixed with a rod. The rod is slidably inserted into the support cylinder. A limiting ring is fixed at the end of the rod away from the rigid main clamp.

[0012] The flexible side plate is fixedly connected to the rigid main clamping plate at one end near the clearance groove;

[0013] The spring is sleeved on the insert rod, and the two ends of the spring abut against the inner wall of the support cylinder and the outer wall of the rigid main clamping plate, respectively.

[0014] Furthermore, two rigid main clamping plates are symmetrically arranged on the support cylinder, and the flower handle is clamped between the two rigid main clamping plates.

[0015] Furthermore, the jet mechanism includes arc-shaped pipes and L-shaped pipes;

[0016] The curved pipe is connected to the main pipe. The curved pipe is located diagonally above the petals. An avoidance opening is provided on the side of the curved pipe near the glass door. An air jet nozzle facing the petals is fixed at the bottom of the curved pipe.

[0017] One end of the L-shaped pipe is fixedly connected to the main pipe, and the other end of the L-shaped pipe is connected to a nozzle, which is located inside the petals.

[0018] Furthermore, the petals are fixed to the stem.

[0019] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0020] The present invention discloses a constant temperature drying device for color fixing of artificial flowers. A clamp is set on the top of the drying oven. During the color fixing process, the petals of the artificial flower are oriented so that the undried petals retain their original shape and are not easily bent by gravity, thus ensuring the integrity of the appearance of the artificial flower.

[0021] The jetting mechanism includes arc-shaped and L-shaped pipes. The arc-shaped pipes provide hot steam to the outer petals, drying them out; the L-shaped pipes provide hot steam to the inner petals, drying them out as well. Simultaneously, the arc-shaped pipes also provide some support to the outer petals, preventing them from bursting open when hot steam blows onto the inner petals, thus preventing petal deformation.

[0022] The clamps are positioned at the top of the oven, while the jet mechanism is located near the petals at the bottom of the oven, keeping the clamps away from the hot steam and thus preventing them from deforming due to heat and extending their service life. Attached Figure Description

[0029] To fully understand the purpose, features and effects of this utility model, the following specific embodiments will be used to describe this utility model in detail, but this utility model is not limited thereto.

[0030] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, this utility model provides a constant temperature drying device for color fixing of simulated floral patterns, including an oven 1, a clamp 2, and an air jet mechanism 3. The oven 1 is equipped with an openable glass door 11, and a main pipe 12 connected to an external heat source is fixed inside the oven 1. It is understood that the oven 1 is also equipped with an exhaust system, which can be any device with exhaust function that the oven 1 possesses; this application does not impose any restrictions.

[0031] The clamp 2 is fixed to the inner top surface of the oven 1 to fix the artificial flower 4 to be dried, which is upside down inside the oven 1. The clamp 2 includes a support cylinder 21, a rigid main clamping plate 22, a flexible side plate 23, and a spring 24. The support cylinder 21 is fixedly connected to the inner top surface of the oven 1, and the support cylinder 21 extends vertically. A vertically extending clearance groove 211 is provided on the side wall of the support cylinder 21 near the glass door 11.

[0032] Two rigid main clamping plates 22 are symmetrically arranged on the support cylinder 21, with the flower stem 42 clamped between the two rigid main clamping plates 22. The rigid main clamping plates 22 are arc-shaped, with their inner walls abutting against the flower stem 42 of the simulated flower 4. An insert rod 221 is fixedly mounted on the outer wall of the rigid main clamping plates 22, and the insert rod 221 is slidably inserted into the support cylinder 21. A limiting ring 222 is fixedly mounted on the end of the insert rod 221 away from the rigid main clamping plates 22. A flexible side plate 23 is fixedly connected to the end of the rigid main clamping plate 22 near the clearance groove 211. A spring 24 is sleeved on the insert rod 221, with both ends of the spring 24 abutting against the inner wall of the support cylinder 21 and the outer wall of the rigid main clamping plate 22, respectively.

[0033] It should be noted that when the rigid main clamping plate 22 is not clamping the flower handle 42, under the restoring force of the spring 24, the limiting ring 222 abuts against the support cylinder 21. At this time, there is still a certain gap between the two rigid main clamping plates 22, which facilitates the insertion of the flower handle 41 between the two rigid main clamping plates 22. In addition, the insertion rod 221 can only slide laterally on the support cylinder 21 and cannot rotate. To achieve this function, a limiting strip can be fixed on the insertion rod 221, and a corresponding limiting hole can be opened on the support cylinder 21. This structure is a relatively common prior art, and this application will not elaborate on it. The rigid main clamping plate 22 can be made of hard materials such as stainless steel, and the flexible side plate 23 can be made of materials such as rubber and silicone.

[0034] The jet mechanism 3 is connected to the main pipe 12 and covers the petals 41 of the artificial flower 4 for drying the artificial flower 4. The jet mechanism 3 includes an arc-shaped pipe 31 and an L-shaped pipe 32. The arc-shaped pipe 31 is connected to the main pipe 12 and is located diagonally above the petals 41. An avoidance opening 311 is provided on the side of the arc-shaped pipe 31 near the glass door 11, and a jet nozzle 312 facing the petals 41 is fixedly provided at the bottom of the arc-shaped pipe 31. One end of the L-shaped pipe 32 is fixedly connected to the main pipe 12, and the other end of the L-shaped pipe 32 is connected to a nozzle, which is located inside the petals 41.

[0035] The artificial flower 4 is made of fabric, with petals 41 fixed on the stem 42. Each artificial flower 4 can have multiple layers of petals.

[0036] In use, first place the petals 41 downwards, allowing the flower stem 42 to enter the support cylinder 21 through the clearance groove 211. Then, the flower stem 42 presses against the flexible side plate 23 and enters between the two rigid main clamping plates 22, where it is clamped and fixed. The lower part of the flower stem 41 enters the center of the arc-shaped pipe 31 through the clearance opening 311. Then, hot air is supplied to the arc-shaped pipe 31 and the L-shaped pipe 32 to dry the artificial flower 4.

[0037] Finally, it should be noted that the above-listed embodiments are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention. Of course, those skilled in the art can make modifications and variations to the present invention. If such modifications and variations fall within the scope of the claims of the present invention and their equivalents, they should be considered as being within the protection scope of the present invention.
