Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of water absorption and drying equipment, specifically a water absorption and drying equipment for automotive exhaust pipe materials. Background Technology

[0002] The exhaust pipe is an important part of the engine exhaust system, which has multiple functions such as emitting exhaust gas, reducing noise, and purifying exhaust gas. During the processing and production of automotive exhaust pipes, the pipe material needs to be cleaned and then dried. However, natural drying is too slow, so equipment drying is usually chosen.

[0003] Because a large amount of moisture remains on the surface of the exhaust pipe material after cleaning, and the moisture distribution is uneven, and traditional drying equipment directly dries the wet pipe material, it is easy to cause local moisture to evaporate too quickly, while other parts have more moisture remaining, which affects the drying effect. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a water absorption and drying device for automotive exhaust pipe materials to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0006] A water absorption and drying device for automotive exhaust pipe materials, comprising:

[0007] The drying oven has four support columns fixedly connected symmetrically to each other on its inner bottom surface. The outer wall of the drying oven is equipped with an exhaust pipe. Two opposing inner side walls of the drying oven are fixedly connected with electric telescopic rods. The output ends of the two electric telescopic rods are fixedly connected with strip plates. The opposing ends of the two strip plates are fixedly connected with snap rings.

[0008] The lid is rotatably connected to the top surface of the drying oven via a hinge. An air collection box is fixedly connected to the inner top surface of the lid, and several air outlet pipes are evenly spaced on the bottom surface of the air collection box.

[0009] A placement frame is set inside the drying oven. Several trays are rotatably connected at equal intervals on the inner bottom surface of the placement frame. Hollow columns are fixedly connected to the top surface of each tray. Two insertion slots are opened on the top surface of the placement frame. Water-absorbing sponges are provided on the two opposite inner sidewalls of the placement frame. Several ventilation holes are opened on the outer wall of the placement frame.

[0010] Two pull-out panels are provided, each of which is inserted into two insertion slots. Limiting plates are fixedly connected to both ends of the two pull-out panels. The limiting plates are inserted into and cooperate with snap-fit ​​rings. Water-absorbing sponges are provided on both side walls of the two pull-out panels.

[0011] The hot air blower is connected to the interior of the air collection box via flexible pipes.

[0012] Furthermore, the four support columns are fixedly connected to positioning frames that contact the bottom surface of the placement frame.

[0013] Furthermore, handles are fixedly connected to both top sides of the drying oven.

[0014] Furthermore, the outer walls of each of the hollow columns are provided with a number of circular holes.

[0015] Furthermore, the two side walls of the pull-out plate are each symmetrically provided with four sliding grooves, and the two side walls of the pull-out plate are each slidably provided with two clamping plates.

[0016] Furthermore, the rear sidewall of the clamping plate is fixedly connected to two sliders, which are slidably connected to their corresponding grooves, and the outer surface of the clamping plate is screwed with two fastening knobs.

[0017] Furthermore, the surfaces of both pull-out plates are provided with several ventilation slots.

[0018] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0019] By coordinating the drying chamber, lid, placement frame, pull-out plate, and hot air blower, and combining water absorption and drying functions, production efficiency is significantly improved.

Detailed Implementation

[0027] 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.

[0028] Example

[0029] Please see Figure 1-6In this embodiment of the present invention, a water-absorbing and drying device for automotive exhaust pipe materials includes a drying box 100, a box cover 200, a placement frame 300, a pull-out plate 400, and a hot air blower 500. Four support columns 110 are symmetrically fixedly connected to the inner bottom surface of the drying box 100. An exhaust pipe 120 is provided on the outer wall of the drying box 100. Electric telescopic rods 130 are fixedly connected to two opposite inner side walls of the drying box 100. Strip plates 140 are fixedly connected to the output ends of the two electric telescopic rods 130. Each of the opposite ends is fixedly connected with a snap ring 150. The lid 200 is rotatably connected to the top surface of the drying oven 100 via a hinge. An air collection box 210 is fixedly connected to the inner top surface of the lid 200. Several air outlet pipes 220 are evenly spaced on the bottom surface of the air collection box 210. The placement frame 300 is placed inside the drying oven 100. The bottom surface of the placement frame 300 contacts the top of the support column 110. Several trays 320 are rotatably connected to the inner bottom surface of the placement frame 300 at equal intervals. The trays 320 are arranged in at least three rows. Each pallet 320 has a groove on its top surface for vertically placing pipes. Hollow columns 340 are fixedly connected to the top surfaces of several pallets 320 for insertion into the pipes. The top surface of the placement frame 300 has two insertion slots 330, located in the middle of the three rows of pallets 320. Two opposite inner walls of the placement frame 300 are lined with absorbent sponges 310. The outer wall of the placement frame 300 has several ventilation holes 360 to facilitate the flow of hot air within the cover 200. Two pull plates 400 are provided, and the two pull plates 400 are respectively inserted into the two insertion slots 330. Limiting plates 410 are fixedly connected to both ends of the two pull plates 400. The inner sidewalls of the two limiting plates 410 are respectively used to contact the two outer sidewalls of the placement frame 300. The limiting plates 410 are inserted into the snap ring 150. The two sidewalls of the two pull plates 400 are provided with water-absorbing sponges 440. The hot air fan 500 is located outside the drying oven 100 and is connected to the inside of the air collection box 210 through the flexible pipe 510.

[0030] Specifically, the cleaned exhaust pipe material is placed vertically on the tray 320, so that the outer wall of the three rows of pipe material comes into contact with the water-absorbing sponge 440 on the pull-out plate 400 and the water-absorbing sponge 310 on the inner wall of the placement frame 300, or with the water-absorbing sponge 440 on the two pull-out plates 400. The two electric telescopic rods 130 extend and retract alternately, and the locking ring 150 is inserted and engaged with the limiting plate 410, thereby pushing the two pull-out plates 400 to move back and forth, causing the pipe material and the tray 320 to rotate, so that the moisture on the outer wall of the pipe material is evenly absorbed by the sponge. After the water absorption is completed, the hot air fan 500 is started, and the hot air enters the air collection box 210 through the flexible pipe 510, and then blows onto the pipe material through the air outlet pipe 220 to accelerate the evaporation of moisture. After drying is completed, the box cover 200 is opened and the pipe material is taken out.

[0031] like Figure 3-4 As shown, in this embodiment, the four support columns 110 are fixedly connected to the periphery of a positioning frame 111 that contacts the bottom surface of the placement frame 300, and the two top sides of the drying box 100 are fixedly connected to handles 350. The outer walls of the hollow columns 340 are provided with several round holes.

[0032] In this embodiment, to facilitate loading and unloading of pipes, after opening the box cover 200, the two handles 350 can be grasped and lifted upwards, causing the limiting plate 410 to move upwards along the snap ring 150 until it is completely disengaged. At this time, the placement frame 300 can be taken out for loading and unloading of pipes. When resetting, the handles 350 are grasped and the placement frame 300 is placed into the box cover 200, and the two limiting plates 410 are respectively inserted and engaged with the two snap rings 150 until the bottom surface of the placement frame 300 contacts the top of the support column 110, and the inner wall of the positioning frame 111 contacts the outer wall of the bottom of the placement frame 300, thus restricting the position of the placement frame 300 and preventing the placement frame 300 from slipping during drying. Since the pipes are sleeved on the outside of the hollow column 340, when the hot air blower 500 blows hot air into the box cover 200, the hot air will also enter from the top of the hollow column 340 and then blow onto the inner wall of the pipes through several round holes, improving the drying efficiency.

[0033] like Figure 5-6 As shown, in this embodiment, four sliding grooves 420 are symmetrically provided on both side walls of the pull-out plate 400. Two clamping plates 450 are slidably provided on both side walls of the pull-out plate 400. Two sliders 451 are fixedly connected to the rear side wall of the clamping plate 450. The two sliders 451 are slidably connected to their corresponding sliding grooves 420. Two fastening knobs 452 are screwed onto the outer surface of the clamping plate 450. Several ventilation grooves 430 are provided on the surface of both pull-out plates 400 to facilitate the flow of hot air between the pipes. Threaded holes that cooperate with the fastening knobs 452 are provided in the sliding grooves 420.

[0034] In practice, when it is necessary to replace the second absorbent sponge 440, the clamp 450 can be loosened. At this time, the clamp 450 can slide horizontally along the corresponding slide groove 420. The two clamps 450 are far apart and no longer assist in fixing the second absorbent sponge 440. After replacing the second absorbent sponge 440, slide the two clamps 450 along the slide groove 420 to bring them closer together, clamp the second absorbent sponge 440 again, and tighten the fastening knob 452 to fix the position of the clamp 450.

[0035] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered illustrative and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, it is intended that all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims be included within this invention. No reference numerals in the claims should be construed as limiting the scope of the claims.

[0036] Furthermore, it should be understood that although this specification describes embodiments, not every embodiment contains only one independent technical solution. This narrative style is merely for clarity. Those skilled in the art should consider the specification as a whole, and the technical solutions in each embodiment can also be appropriately combined to form other embodiments that can be understood by those skilled in the art.
