Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Object of the Invention] (Field of Industrial Application) The present invention relates to a drying plate used in the incense stick manufacturing process.

(Prior art) In the process of manufacturing incense sticks, in order to equalize the drying conditions on the front and back sides of the incense sticks, drying plates are often provided with a large number of holes (such as Utility Model 53-32883) or made into a net (Utility Model 53-32883). 52-21467, etc.), and one in which an incense stick is held in a cardboard box and hot air is force-fed into the cross-sectional cavity above and below the incense stick (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 57-84974) has been proposed.

Regarding the first two of these, it is not possible to completely eliminate distortion and deformation, and in particular, those with a mesh structure are difficult to handle and lack stability when arranging incense sticks, and they also have disadvantages such as mesh formation on the incense sticks. However, the current situation is that it is almost impossible to implement.

In this regard, the third cardboard drying board can equalize the drying conditions by force-feeding hot air into the upper and lower cavities, so it can even out the drying process. Since the product is placed in a semi-dry state before it is placed on a cardboard (see claims), there is a problem in terms of production efficiency, as the work is done twice and it takes about a day for preliminary semi-drying. There is no risk of distortion or deformation during the process.

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) In view of the above-mentioned conventional viewpoints, the present invention basically uses a paper drying plate having a pipe structure in a cross section like cardboard. The purpose of the present invention is to provide an ingenious drying board structure that allows direct placement and drying without the need for drying (semi-drying) or other labor.

[Structure of the Invention] (Means for Solving the Problems) That is, a support leg 4 having a height equal to the cross-sectional diameter of the incense stick is attached upwardly at one end of a paper drying plate main body 1 having a pipe structure 2 in its cross section; The support leg 4
A support leg 5 having a height equal to that is provided to constitute an incense stick drying plate for directly drying incense sticks immediately after being formed.

(Embodiment) To explain the embodiment of the drawings below, in Fig. 1, 1 is a horizontally oblong double-sided corrugated cardboard main body, and one end of the cardboard has a height equal to the cross-sectional diameter of the incense stick (standard 2 mm to 2.3 mm). ), and a support leg 5 having the same height as the support leg 4 is provided on the other end facing downward.

(Operation) To use this now, as shown in Figure 2,
The incense sticks formed by the incense stick extruder are immediately arranged on the top surface of the main drying plate 1, stacked in multiple tiers in a room with predetermined drying conditions (normally heating and dehumidifying at about 30°C), and placed in a section of the cross-sectional pipe structure 2. Hot air of around 40℃ is continuously blown from the side.

At this time, the drying plate main body 1 has a support leg 4 having a height equal to the cross-sectional diameter of the incense stick on one end upward thereof, and a support leg 4 having a height equal to the support leg 4 on the other end facing downward. 5, there is no worry that the upper drying plate main body 1 will be crushed or stuck under the heavy pressure of the upper drying plate main body 1, and the upper and lower drying plate main bodies 1,1
Since the incense stick and the arranged incense stick are placed in close contact, the physical drying conditions on the front and back sides of the incense stick are completely the same, and drying is completed while maintaining the water absorption efficiency of the incense stick constant.

[Effects of the Invention] As described above, the present invention provides a drying plate having a cross-sectional pipe structure such as cardboard, which can be directly placed and dried in the process of manufacturing incense sticks, without requiring any effort such as pre-drying (semi-drying). This significantly increases drying efficiency and allows the next tying operation to be carried out, which contributes to labor savings and improved productivity.

In terms of product effects, it is truly advantageous in that it completely eliminates distortion and deformation and provides a uniform product.

Claims (1)

[Scope of Claims] 1. A support leg 4 having a height equal to the cross-sectional diameter of the incense stick is attached upward at one end of the paper drying plate main body 1 having a pipe structure 2 in its cross section, and a supporting leg 4 is attached at the other end downward. This incense stick drying board is provided with support legs 5 of equal height and is used to directly dry incense sticks immediately after being formed. 2. The incense stick drying plate according to claim 1, wherein the paper drying plate main body 1 having a pipe structure in its cross section is made of cardboard.
