Abstract

A drying apparatus and an oven are provided. In some embodiments, the drying apparatus is used for drying a material. The drying apparatus includes: a blowing mechanism having an air-outlet channel for conveying dry gas to the material; and a guide member movably arranged in the air-outlet channel and used for dividing the air-outlet channel into a first sub-air-outlet channel and a second sub-air-outlet channel, and a first air outlet of the first sub-air-outlet channel and a second air outlet of the second sub-air-outlet channel both facing the material. In the above way, the drying apparatus provided in the present application is capable of realizing adjustment of an air speed without changing an air volume, thereby ensuring the drying efficiency.

Claims (16)

1 . A drying apparatus for drying a material, comprising:

a blowing mechanism comprising a first rotational connecting portion and a second rotational connecting portion arranged oppositely and having an air-outlet channel for conveying dry gas to the material, wherein a surface of the first rotational connecting portion protrudes to form a first arc-shaped protrusion, a surface of the second rotational connecting portion protrudes to form a second arc-shaped protrusion, the first arc-shaped protrusion and the second arc-shaped protrusion are arranged oppositely, a rotation shaft is rotationally arranged on the first arc-shaped protrusion and the second arc-shaped protrusion respectively; and

a guide member movably arranged in the air-outlet channel and used for dividing the air-outlet channel into a first sub-air-outlet channel and a second sub-air-outlet channel, a first air outlet of the first sub-air-outlet channel and a second air outlet of the second sub-air-outlet channel both facing the material, wherein the guide member is located between the first rotational connecting portion and the second rotational connecting portion and fixed on the rotation shaft, when rotating with the rotation shaft, the guide member changes air outputs of the first air outlet and the second air outlet.

2 . The drying apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein an outer cover of the second sub-air-outlet channel is provided with an air box, one side of the air box facing the material is provided with an opening, and the air box is used for accommodating the gas blown from the second sub-air-outlet channel, so that the gas is blown to the material from the opening.

3 . The drying apparatus according to claim 2 , wherein the opening is provided with a guide plate, and the guide plate is provided with meshes.

4 . The drying apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein one end of the rotation shaft is provided with an adjusting member.

5 . An oven, comprising the drying apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein there are a plurality of drying apparatuses, and the plurality of drying apparatuses are arranged in a preset direction.

6 . The oven according to claim 5 , wherein air boxes are arranged on both sides of the plurality of drying apparatuses in the preset direction, and the air boxes between adjacent drying apparatuses are in communication with each other.

7 . A drying apparatus for drying a material, comprising:

a blowing mechanism comprising a first rotational connecting portion and a second rotational connecting portion arranged oppositely and having an air-outlet channel for conveying dry gas to the material, wherein the first rotational connecting portion is provided with a first connecting hole, the second rotational connecting portion is provided with a second connecting hole, the first connecting hole and the second connecting hole are arranged oppositely, and a rotation shaft is rotationally arranged in the first connecting hole and the second connecting hole respectively; and

a guide member movably arranged in the air-outlet channel and used for dividing the air-outlet channel into a first sub-air-outlet channel and a second sub-air-outlet channel, a first air outlet of the first sub-air-outlet channel and a second air outlet of the second sub-air-outlet channel both facing the material, wherein the guide member is located between the first rotational connecting portion and the second rotational connecting portion and fixed on the rotation shaft, when rotating with the rotation shaft, the guide member changes air outputs of the first air outlet and the second air outlet.

8 . The drying apparatus according to claim 7 , wherein an outer cover of the second sub-air-outlet channel is provided with an air box, one side of the air box facing the material is provided with an opening, and the air box is used for accommodating the gas blown from the second sub-air-outlet channel, so that the gas is blown to the material from the opening.

9 . The drying apparatus according to claim 8 , wherein the opening is provided with a guide plate, and the guide plate is provided with meshes.

10 . The drying apparatus according to claim 7 , wherein one end of the rotation shaft is provided with an adjusting member.

11 . An oven, comprising the drying apparatus according to claim 7 , wherein there are a plurality of drying apparatuses, and the plurality of drying apparatuses are arranged in a preset direction.

12 . The oven according to claim 11 , wherein air boxes are arranged on both sides of the plurality of drying apparatuses in the preset direction, and the air boxes between adjacent drying apparatuses are in communication with each other.
