Description

Tumble dryer

This application is a divisional application of Patent Application No. 10-2022-0081577, and the entire content of the original application is incorporated herein for reference.

The present invention relates to a rotary dryer that can quickly dry even in a place without ventilation by using the wind naturally generated when rotating an object to be dried, such as fish. In particular, the dryer is dried by arranging the fixing pins for inserting the object to be dried in a horizontal direction. When the rotating body on which the object is mounted is rotated forward for drying, the drying object inserted into the fixing pin is pushed into the inside of the fixing pin by inertia and does not fall out, and when the rotating body is stopped after drying, the drying object is pushed in by inertia. This relates to a rotary dryer that can easily remove the drying object by pulling itself out of the fixing pin and separating it.

As shown in Figure 1, fish among drying objects (A) has a fishy smell, so when it is dried in a stationary state, there is a problem in that pests (B), such as flies that like fishy smells, fly in and attach to the fish, resulting in unsanitary drying. In severe cases, when pests (B) lay eggs on the drying object, maggots are generated in the dried product, which reduces the quality of the dried product or causes it to be discarded.

In particular, when maggots are generated during drying, pesticides are used to remove them and then dried and then sold, which has become a social problem. Consumers who purchase without knowing this end up eating maggot excrement and pesticides. As a result, there were serious health problems.

To solve this problem, a rotary dryer that rotates by a motor has recently been developed to prevent pests such as flies from sticking to the rotating drying object and drying the drying object hygienically.

Looking at conventional rotary dryers, the rotary agricultural and marine product natural dryer of Publication Patent No. 10-2014-0100029 was disclosed on August 14, 2014. This dryer has one or more drying plates inside which a net is formed on which agricultural and marine products to be dried are placed; and a central pillar coupled to the drying plates to fix the position of the drying plates; and fixing the position of the central pillars. It is composed of a fixing frame that allows the drying plate to rotate by rotating the central pillar; and a control box that controls the operation of the rotating means.

This natural dryer prevents external pests or animals from entering the agricultural and marine products placed on the drying board.

In addition, the agricultural and marine product drying device of Registered Utility Model No. 20-0373288 was announced on January 14, 2005. This dryer includes a rotating shaft rotatably installed in the center of the main body via a driving shaft and a disk; A plurality of turntables installed in multiple stages on the outside of the rotating shaft and rotating and drying agricultural and marine products displayed on a mesh screen at the top; Power generation means for simultaneously operating the turntable and the drying fan by transmitting the rotational power of the reduction motor installed at the bottom of the dryer main body to the drying shaft and the driving shaft; It consists of a drying wind supply means that supplies fresh drying wind generated by the drying fan to a turntable to double the drying power.

In this drying device, a multi-stage turntable on which various agricultural and marine products are displayed rotates, and at the same time, fresh air generated from the drying fan is evenly supplied to the turntable, enabling rapid drying of large amounts of agricultural and marine products regardless of climatic conditions.

In addition, a dryer using natural wind under Public Utility Model No. 20-2014-0000039 was released on January 6, 2014.

This dryer rotates the pods while storing them inside a medium-speed or high-speed rotating body with a rotating means, and uses the centrifugal force exerted by the material for tying the pods into pods and the adhering moisture attached to the surface of the pods. It dehydrates quickly and allows natural wind to pass evenly over the entire surface of the fish body between the intertwined seaweeds, allowing the seaweeds to dry in a short period of time.

A dryer configured in this way shortens the drying time, improves product quality by increasing the freshness of dried marine products, and improves the freezing function of the freezer, thereby reducing electricity bills.

In addition, the seafood rotary drying rack of Registration Patent No. 10-2097108 was announced on April 3, 2020. This drying rack is configured so that the rotation shaft 300 and the mounting bar 600 rotate by driving the geared motor 400, and the skewer 700 is detachably assembled to the mounting bar 600.

The drying stand constructed in this way can change the direction of rotation according to the direction of the wind, shortening the drying time compared to one-way drying, and the rotation speed of the stand can be varied depending on the wind strength, reducing power loss. As it has an octagonal shape, it can hold a lot of marine products, and since it can be mounted in multiple stages vertically and horizontally, it is possible to increase the amount of marine products that can be dried at once.

In addition, a squid drying device equipped with a far-infrared radiation heater disclosed in Publication Patent No. 10-2011-0047423 was disclosed on May 9, 2011.

Here, when the rotating body rotates and stops, the holder is inserted into the concave portion and remains restrained, and the drying object inserted into the fitting portion of the fixing pin is pushed inside the fitting portion by inertia when rotating forward for drying. It goes in and does not fall out of the fitting, but when it stops, it comes out by inertia and separates itself from the fitting.

The blocking plate of the removal means of the present invention has a slot cut through it to allow the fixing pin to pass through.

The rotating body of the present invention has a recessed portion inserted into the hanging member so that the holder can be recessed and restrained;

Hereinafter, the configuration of the rotary dryer according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the attached drawings.

As shown in the drawing, the rotary dryer (1) of the present invention includes a shaft (3) that rotates by driving a motor (2); a rotating body (4) that is mounted on the shaft (3) and rotates with the shaft (3) when the motor (2) is driven to rotate the drying object mounted thereon; and a holder (5) that is assembled to the rotating body (4) and has a fixing pin protruding so that the drying object can be placed on the rotating body (4).

In addition, the present invention further includes a removal means (6) for automatically collecting the dried object.

Figure 2 shows a booth in which the rotary dryer 1 of the present invention is installed, and this is only an example of use. Figure 3 shows the rotary dryer 1 of the present invention being installed inside a booth. Figure 4 is a diagram showing the overall shape of the present invention.

As shown in this figure, the shaft 3 rotates by driving the motor 2 to rotate the rotating body 4 mounted thereon. If the rotation speed of the motor (2) that rotates the shaft (3) is fast, a reducer is installed between the motor (2) and the shaft (3) to properly adjust the rotation speed of the shaft (3) to increase the drying speed of the drying object. It can be adjusted according to the user's convenience. Figure 5 is a diagram showing the motor 2 mounted on the lower part of the shaft 3.

The rotating body 4 is fixed integrally with the shaft 3 and rotates together with the shaft 3 when the motor 2 is driven. This rotating body 4 is composed of a ring shape with both ends of the band connected as shown in the drawing, and can be composed of various shapes such as circles, triangles, squares, polygons, closed curves, etc., and their center is rotated. It is fixed to the whole (4) and rotates.

As shown in Figure 4, the present invention shows that the rotating body 4 is configured in the shape of a circular band. More specifically, a hollow hub 41 is prepared in the center to accommodate and secure the shaft 3, and a hanging member 42 with the same shape and larger diameter is located outside the hub 41, and the hub ( The arm 43 is fixed between 41) and the hanging member 42, showing that the hub 41, the hanging member 42, and the arm 43 are formed as one piece. A recessed portion 44 is inserted into the upper part of the hanging member 42 to accommodate and restrain the holder 5, which will be described later. Therefore, steps are formed at both ends of the concave portion 44 due to the difference in height, so when the holder 5 is inserted into the concave portion 44, the holder 5 maintains its assembled state even if the rotating body 4 rotates. .

Meanwhile, it is preferable that the rotating body 4 is assembled to the shaft 3 in a multi-stage manner so that the drying object can be dried in a multi-stage manner as shown in FIG. 8. When assembling this rotating body (4) to the shaft (3), considering the weight of the rotating body (4), the base (45) is fixed with screws in advance to the installation location of the shaft (3) as shown in Figure 6, and then the shaft (3) is installed. ) When the hub 41 of the rotating body 4 is inserted into the upper part, the hub 41 is seated on the pedestal 45, so the installation position is automatically designated, making it easy to assemble the rotating body 4.

Meanwhile, the rotating body 4 may be further equipped with a sterilizing lamp 7 on the arm 43, the hanging member 42, or both the arm 43 and the hanging member 42. The drawing shows that the sterilizing lamp 7 is installed only on the hanging member 42. Since this sterilizing lamp 7 is well-known, detailed description thereof will be omitted.

Power supply so that the sterilizing lamp (7) can emit light is provided by a power supply cable (not shown) that extends to the inside of the hanging member (42) via the inside of the shaft (3) and the arm (43) to irradiate the sterilizing lamp (7). Connect until. The terminal of the external power supply cable (not shown) becomes a fixed terminal, and the terminal installed on the rotating shaft (3) becomes a rotating terminal. Therefore, if the rotating terminal is made into a circular ring shape and the fixed terminal is always connected along the circular ring shape, power can be supplied to the sterilizing lamp (7) at all times, and the sterilizing lamp (7) will be able to turn the remote control ON/OFF. Since the power connection structure of the fixed terminal and the rotating terminal is a known technology, drawings related thereto are omitted.

Meanwhile, as shown in FIG. 4, the sterilizing effect can be increased by further installing a separate rotating body (4a) dedicated to the sterilizing lamp (7) in which the sterilizing lamp (7) is assembled between the rotating bodies (4) assembled in a multi-stage manner. Figure 14 shows the sterilizing lamp 7 turned off, and Figure 16 shows the sterilizing lamp 7 turned on.

The holder 5 has a receiving groove 51 formed so that the upper part of the body is closed so that it can be inserted into the concave portion 44 with the hanging member 42 accommodated therein, and the drying object is placed on the outer surface of the body. A fixing pin 52 that can be inserted protrudes. The fixing pin 52 has an insertion portion 52a bent at an extended end in a horizontal direction in the same direction as the trajectory drawn when the fixing pin 52 rotates. It is a very important factor in achieving the present invention that the fitting portion 52a is bent in the same direction as the trajectory drawn by the fixing pin 52 in a horizontal state. The reason is that when the rotating body 4 rotates in the opposite direction to when drying with the blocking plate blocking the drying object inserted into the fitting portion 52a, the drying object is blocked by the blocking plate and stops rotating, and at the same time, it is fixed in the drying object. Since the pin 52 is pulled out, the unfixed drying object falls down and is placed in a prepared basket.

The fixing pin 52 is fixed to the holder. In one embodiment, as shown in Figures 11 and 12, the fixing pin 52 has a protrusion 52b protruding from the inner end is inserted into the cutout 52c-1 located at the rear of the protective member 52c, and the protective member 52c is inserted into the fixing pin 52. (52c) The rear is closed with a cover 5252dd to prevent the protrusion 52b from falling out of the cut portion 52c-1. And when the bolt 52e surrounding the protective member 52c is fastened to the holder 5, the fixing pin 52 is firmly fixed to the holder 5. The protrusion 52b and the front fitting portion 52a may be configured to face in the same direction. Then, as shown in Figure 12, when the fitting portion 52a is used in a horizontal state, the projection 52b indicated by a solid line is positioned horizontally, and when the fitting portion 52a is used in a vertical state, the projection 52b indicated by a two-dot chain line is positioned horizontally. It can be positioned vertically.

The holders 5 may be configured individually as shown in FIGS. 9 to 10, and as shown in FIG. 13, a plurality of individual holders 5 may be connected by a connecting member 53 to form a single piece. The connecting member 53 may be made of a soft material, such as silicone or rubber, so that it can be stably assembled according to the curvature of the hanging member 42 of the rotating body 4. In addition, when the connecting member 53 is used exclusively for the hanging member 42 designated from the beginning, the curvature of the hanging member 42 does not need to be taken into account, so a rigid material, for example, a metal material, can be used. In this case, since the metal connecting member 53 has rigidity, when a plurality of holders 5 are connected, the assembled state is maintained, making use convenient.

The present invention further includes a removal means (6) for automatically collecting the dried object. This removal means 6 is shown in Figures 16 to 21.

This removal means (6) includes a pillar (62) that rotates forward and reverse by driving a motor (61);

A cylinder 63 mounted on the pillar 62 and through which a piston rod 63a reciprocates;

It is mounted on the piston rod 63a of the cylinder 63 and includes a blocking plate 64 that moves in the path where the drying object rotates when the drying object is removed, stops, and returns to the original position when the drying object is rotated. .

The cylinder 63 can use both hydraulic and pneumatic cylinders, and it is better to use a pneumatic cylinder because it does not require great force and precision.

The blocking plate 64 has a slot 65 cut through it to allow the rotating fixing pin 52 to pass through when the drying object is removed.

The removal means 6 configured in this way is such that when drying of the object to be dried is completed and the rotating body 4 is stopped, the pillar 62 rotates by driving the motor 61 so that the blocking plate 64 is placed near the object to be dried. Then, when the cylinder 63 is driven to protrude the piston rod 63a, the blocking plate 64 enters between the drying objects and stops in a state located in their rotation path. Afterwards, when the rotating body (4) is rotated in the opposite direction to that used during drying, the fixing pin (52) passes through the slot (65) of the blocking plate (64) and continues to rotate in reverse. In this process, the drying pin (52) inserted into the fixing pin (52) continues to rotate in reverse. The object is caught by the blocking plate 64 and stopped. At the same time, the fitting portion 52a of the fixing pin 52 inserted into the drying object is pulled out of the drying object, and at that moment, the drying object that is released from its fixed state falls into the basket prepared below and is collected.

Meanwhile, in the present invention, a cold and hot air blower (8) or a blower (9) or a cold and hot air blower (8) and a blower (9) are further installed on the outside of the rotating body (4) to shorten the drying time of the drying object. You can.

The cool and warm air blowers 8 are designed to shorten the drying time by selectively supplying cold and warm air to the drying object as needed. In the present invention, a blower (9) is further provided next to the cold and hot air blowers (8). This blower (9) functions to further shorten the drying time by strongly pushing cold or warm air from the cold and hot air blowers (8) to the drying object.

Meanwhile, although not shown in the drawing, before drying the object to be dried, a liquid disinfectant that is harmless to the human body approved by the Ministry of Environment can be sprayed on the dryer of the present invention using a sprayer to disinfect the dryer itself.

Next, the process of drying the object to be dried using the rotary dryer of the present invention will be described.

In order to dry an object, the object must first be placed on the hanging member 42 of the rotating body 4. For this purpose, the worker inserts the fixing pin 52 of each stand (5) into the drying object and places it in the fitting portion (52a), and then seats this stand (5) in the concave portion (44) of the hanging member (42). I order it. In this way, when the holder 5 is seated in the concave portion 44, the hanging member 42 is inserted into the receiving groove 51 of the holder 5, so that even if the rotating body 4 rotates, the holder 5 is restrained and fixed. status will be maintained. When the drying object to be dried in this manner is placed on each hanging member 42 prepared in multiple stages, the state shown in FIG. 8 is obtained.

In this state, when the motor (2) is driven, the rotating body (4) rotates and generates wind on its own to begin drying the drying object. At the same time, when cold or warm air comes out from the cold and warm air blower (8), the blower (9) rotates strongly. ) promotes drying of the drying object by transferring cold or warm air to the drying object. Also, when the sterilizing lamp (7) is turned on during this process, harmful bacteria are sterilized during the drying process, so the objects to be dried are not infected with harmful bacteria.

When the rotating body 4 rotates forward to dry the drying object, as shown in Figures 9 and 10, the drying object inserted into the insertion portion 52a of the fixing pin 52 has inertia at the start of the forward rotation. Since it moves inside the fitting part 52a, it does not come out of the fitting part 52a while normal rotation continues, so drying can proceed. While drying continues, the drying object inserted into the fixing pin 52 tries to move in the direction in which the centrifugal force acts and continues to shake in this process, so a gap is created between the fitting portion 52a and this gap becomes smaller as drying progresses. It spreads more and more and becomes loose.

Once drying is completed in this way, the step of collecting the drying object proceeds. In order to collect the drying object, the rotating body (4) is first stopped, and when the motor (2) is suddenly braked, the drying object stops momentarily and falls out of the insertion portion (52a) of the fixing pin (52) due to the inertia generated at this time. It is collected by filling the basket provided below. The reason why the drying object can easily come out of the fixing pin 52 when it is stopped is because, as already explained, the gap created by continuous movement while being inserted into the fitting portion 52a during the drying process is loosened.

Meanwhile, by using the removal means (6) of the present invention, drying objects can be collected more reliably and automatically. This is explained in detail.

Once drying is completed in the manner described above, the motor 2 is first turned off to stop the rotation of the rotary body 4. At this time, as already explained, the motor 2 may be braked suddenly or slowly so that inertia does not act. Afterwards, the motor 2 connected to the pillar 62 is driven to rotate the pillar 62 so that the blocking plate 64 is positioned close to the drying objects, and by continuously driving the cylinder 63, the blocking plate 64 It enters between these drying objects and stops while positioned in their rotation path. Afterwards, when the motor (2) is driven in the reverse direction to rotate the shaft (3), the rotating body (4) and the holder (5) mounted on the hanging member (42) of the rotating body (4) rotate in the reverse direction together, so that the fixing pin ( 52) also rotates in the reverse direction. In this process, the object to be dried is stopped from rotating by being caught by the blocking plate 64, and at the same time, the insertion portion 52a of the fixing pin 52 inserted into the object to be dried continues to pass through the slot 65 after coming out of the object to be dried. It rotates in reverse. At this time, the drying objects that have come out of the fitting portion 52a are released from their fixed state, so they fall down and are collected in a prepared basket. In this way, when the rotating plate rotates more than 360 degrees from the point where the drying object was first removed, all the drying objects inserted into the fixing pin 52 are automatically collected in the basket at once, so there is no need to manually collect the drying objects.

The present invention, constructed as described above, is such that when the rotating body (4) is stopped when collecting the drying objects after drying, the drying objects come out of the fixing pins (52) by themselves due to inertia and are automatically separated, so that they can be easily collected. When the counter-rotating drying object is blocked and stopped by the blocking plate 64, the fixing pin 52 moves out of the drying object and releases its fixed state to automatically collect the drying object. A plurality of holders (5) ) are connected in a line with the connecting member 53 to place the drying objects on the rotating plate at once, thereby reducing the man-hours required for mounting, so it can be said to be an invention with inventiveness in the field of dryers.
