Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of drying technology, and more specifically, to an intelligent drying cabinet with radio frequency identification (RFID) function. Background Technology

[0002] In the current field of drying technology, drying cabinets are typically used to dry clothing, food, industrial materials, etc., but traditional drying cabinets have the following problems: (a) Manual operation is cumbersome: Users need to manually set drying parameters (such as temperature, time, power) based on experience. This requires users to have a deep understanding of the characteristics of the material. Otherwise, it is easy to cause insufficient drying or over-drying, which will affect the quality of the material. (ii) Lack of intelligent recognition: Existing equipment cannot automatically identify the type of material, and therefore cannot automatically adjust the drying mode for different materials (such as cotton clothing, leather products or food), resulting in low energy efficiency and inconsistent drying effect; (iii) Inaccurate temperature and humidity control: Many drying cabinets rely on a single sensor to monitor the environment, which cannot fully reflect the temperature and humidity distribution inside the cabinet, and can easily cause local overheating or uneven drying. (iv) Low energy efficiency: Due to non-optimized parameter settings, the drying process may waste energy and increase operating costs; Therefore, we made improvements and proposed an intelligent drying cabinet with radio frequency identification (RFID) function. Utility Model Content

[0018] It should be noted that similar labels and letters in the following figures indicate similar items. Therefore, once an item is defined in one figure, it does not need to be further defined and explained in subsequent figures.

[0019] like Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment proposes an intelligent drying cabinet with radio frequency identification (RFID) function, including a drying cabinet body 1, a door panel 12, a drying assembly 3, and a control unit 4. The drying cabinet body 1 includes a drying cabinet body 11, a stainless steel inverted L-shaped support 14, a stainless steel crossbar 15, a stainless steel drying rack 16, and an air outlet 18; it also includes an RFID assembly 2 for reading material label information, the RFID assembly 2 including an RFID reader 21; the drying assembly 3 includes a hot air blower 31, an equipment mounting slot 32, and an air duct 33; the control unit 4 includes a touch screen control panel 41 and a temperature and humidity sensor module 42. The control unit 4 is electrically connected to the RFID reader 21, the touch screen control panel 41, the temperature and humidity sensor module 42, and the hot air blower 31 of the drying assembly 3, respectively. The control unit 4 is configured to automatically match the drying mode according to the material label information read by the RFID equipment, and adjust the operation of the hot air blower 31 according to the temperature and humidity data collected by the temperature and humidity sensor module 42.

[0020] The radio frequency identification (RFID) device is installed on the left side of the drying cabinet 1, and an acrylic plate 22 is provided on the left side of the drying cabinet 1 corresponding to the position of the RFID device for signal penetration.

[0021] The hot air blower 31 is fixed inside the drying cabinet 1 on the bottom left side. The airflow generated by the hot air blower 31 is heated and blown from bottom to top through the air duct 33 onto the material inside the drying cabinet 1, and is discharged from the air outlet 18 at the upper left and right sides of the drying cabinet 1.

[0022] The drying cabinet body 11 is provided with a stainless steel mounting groove 17, which includes mounting groove A171, mounting groove B172 and mounting groove C173. Corresponding to different heights, mounting groove A171, mounting groove B172 and mounting groove C173 are all provided with sliding grooves 174.

[0023] The drying cabinet body 11 is fixedly installed with stainless steel inverted L-shaped bracket 14 and stainless steel crossbar 15 by screws, and the stainless steel drying rack 16 is placed on the slide 174.

[0024] The temperature and humidity sensor module 42 includes two temperature and humidity sensors. One is located in the lower temperature area on the back of the touch screen control panel 41, and the other is located in the higher temperature area near the air outlet 18 of the hot air blower 31. They are used to collect temperature and humidity data of different areas inside the drying cabinet body 11. The control unit 4 takes the average value of the two measurements for display and control.

[0025] The touch screen control panel 41 is located on the door panel 12 and is used to manually set drying parameters or manually control the start and stop of the equipment.

[0026] The drying modes include temperature, duration, and heating power level.

[0027] One embodiment uses an automatic drying mode with radio frequency identification (RFID): An RFID reader 21 and an acrylic plate 22 are installed on the left side of the drying cabinet 1. The control unit 4 is electrically connected to the RFID reader 21. The materials to be dried are affixed with RFID tags storing material type information, such as "cotton clothing" or "ceramic products." When the user places the materials into the drying cabinet 11, the RFID reader 21 reads the tag information through the acrylic plate 22. The control unit 4 automatically matches the pre-stored drying mode. For example, for cotton clothing, the temperature is set to 60℃, the duration to 40 minutes, and the heating power to medium. The hot air blower 31 starts, and hot air is blown upwards from the bottom through the air duct 33, passing through the material layer. Moisture is discharged from the air outlets 18 on both sides. The user does not need to manually input parameters; the system can start the drying program. This system is suitable for various material types, and automation reduces operational errors and time costs. Another embodiment utilizes dual temperature and humidity sensors for control: Two sets of temperature and humidity sensors are installed inside the drying cabinet, one on the back of the touchscreen control panel 41 (in the lower temperature area), and the other near the air outlet 18 of the hot air blower 31 (in the higher temperature area). The control unit 4 takes the average value of the two sensors for display and control; during the drying process, the system monitors the temperature and humidity in different areas of the cabinet in real time. For example, when the temperature at the air outlet 18 of the hot air blower 31 is too high, the control unit 4 will reduce the heating power or adjust the airflow to ensure uniform heating of the material. Simultaneously, the touchscreen control panel 41 allows users to manually override settings to suit specific needs.

[0028] Specifically, in use, the user places materials with RFID tags on the stainless steel drying rack 16 and closes the door 12; the radio frequency reader 21 reads the material tag information through the acrylic plate 22 and sends the data to the control unit 4; the control unit 4 automatically selects the pre-stored drying mode (such as temperature, duration, and power) according to the tag information; the hot air blower 31 starts, and hot air is blown from the bottom upward through the air duct 33, passing through the material layer, and the moisture is discharged from the air outlets 18 on the left and right sides; the temperature and humidity sensor module 42 continuously collects data inside the drying cabinet body 11 (including the low temperature zone and the high temperature zone), the control unit 4 calculates the average value, and adjusts the hot air blower 31 to maintain the optimal drying conditions; after drying is completed, the system automatically stops running, and the user can manually intervene or view the status through the touch screen control panel 41; in addition, the user can also manually set parameters through the touch screen control panel 41 to override the automatic mode and meet personalized needs.

[0029] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the present utility model and are not intended to limit the technical solutions described in the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the above embodiments, the present utility model is not limited to the specific embodiments described above.
