As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the rack 4 is integrated into the drying cabinet 1 together with the assembly of the drying cabinet 1. The rack 4 includes a plurality of support columns 42 arranged at predetermined intervals along the back surface in the drying cabinet 1, connecting members 43 and braces 44 connecting the support columns 42, and a base end fixed to each support column 42. And a plurality of support arms 41 extending horizontally toward the front opening 20, and at least each of the support arms 41 is disposed within a range of a vertical plane corresponding to the front opening 20. In this case, each support | pillar 42 consists of steel materials, such as H-section steel, and stands | starts up in a line along the back surface at predetermined intervals on the bottom surface of the main body 10 of the drying chamber 1 between the back surface. The lower end of each column 42 is fixed to the installation base B of the drying cabinet 1. Each connecting member 43 is made of a steel material such as H-section steel, and is fixed between the columns 42 at a predetermined interval in the vertical direction.

この木材乾燥装置D2では、木材の乾燥が次のような手順で行われる。なお、この装置D2の場合、オプションにより、乾燥庫1内にラック4が設置されているものとする。
図1、図4及び図5を参照されたい。
In the wood drying apparatus D2, the wood is dried by the following procedure. In the case of this apparatus D2, it is assumed that a rack 4 is installed in the drying cabinet 1 as an option.
Please refer to FIG. 1, FIG. 4 and FIG.

図1において、乾燥庫1は初期の状態として、正面の開口20が扉21により閉じられている。まず、作業員はフォークリフトを操作して、乾燥させる木材を乾燥庫1に搬入する準備を行い、当該木材を横置きの状態でフォークリフトのフォーク上に搭載し、乾燥庫1の正面前に待機する。そして、乾燥庫1の正面の扉21を開き、正面の横長の開口20を開放する。この場合、扉21の操作盤の操作により、最上部の扉パネル211が乾燥庫1の開口20の上方所定の位置に向けて後退するとともに、次の扉パネル211(最上部位置の扉パネル211の直下の扉パネル211)が最上部位置に上がり、当該最上部位置の扉パネル211がまた開口20の上方所定の位置に向けて後退するとともに、その下の扉パネル211がまた最上部位置に上がり、同様に後退する動作を繰り返し、各扉パネル211が開口20の上方所定の位置に水平方向に並列の配列で折り畳まれて収納され、これにより正面の開口20が全開される。  In FIG. 1, the drying chamber 1 is in an initial state, and a front opening 20 is closed by a door 21. First, the operator operates the forklift to prepare to carry the wood to be dried into the drying cabinet 1, mounts the wood on the fork of the forklift in a horizontal state, and waits in front of the drying cabinet 1. . And the door 21 of the front of the drying chamber 1 is opened, and the horizontally long opening 20 of the front is opened. In this case, the operation of the operation panel of the door 21 causes the uppermost door panel 211 to retreat toward a predetermined position above the opening 20 of the drying chamber 1 and the next door panel 211 (the door panel 211 at the uppermost position). The door panel 211) immediately below the upper panel is raised to the uppermost position, the door panel 211 at the uppermost position is retracted toward the predetermined position above the opening 20, and the lower door panel 211 is also moved to the uppermost position. Similarly, the door panel 211 is folded and housed in a parallel arrangement in the horizontal direction at a predetermined position above the opening 20, thereby opening the front opening 20 fully.

続いて、図4(a)に示すように、作業員の操作によりフォークリフトFが前進されて、木材Wを載せたフォークF11が横置き状態の複数の木材Wとともに開口20を通じて乾燥庫1内に装入される。このとき、フォークリフトFのフォークF11を上下動可能に支持するマストF12が上方に高く延びていても、乾燥庫1の屋根11は片流れの屋根になっていて、また、雨樋12が屋根11の中央に設置されているため、マストF12が屋根11や樋12などの乾燥庫1の一部や付帯設備に接触して邪魔になることがなく、作業員はフォークリフトFを乾燥庫1の正面に着けやすく、フォークF11を乾燥庫1内に簡単に装入することができる。そして、必要に応じてフォークF11の高さを調整しながら、横置き状態の複数の木材Wを予め決めた所定の段の各支持アーム41、41間に架け渡して横置きに積み上げる。この場合、長い木材であれば、木材Wを当該段のすべての支持アーム41間に跨って支持し、短い木材であれば、木材Wを当該段の一部の支持アーム41間に跨って支持すればよい。さらに乾燥させる木材Wがある場合は、フォークリフトFにより同様の作業が繰り返される。また、この乾燥庫1の場合、乾燥庫1内に横置きにして収容する木材Wを木材Wの一端を他端に対して下げる方向に傾斜させる手段を備えているので、この手段により、木材Wの一端を他端に対して下げる方向に傾斜させる。  Subsequently, as shown in FIG. 4 (a), the forklift F is advanced by the operation of the worker, and the fork F11 on which the wood W is placed is placed in the drying chamber 1 through the opening 20 together with the plurality of wood W in a horizontally placed state. It is inserted. At this time, even if the mast F12 that supports the fork F11 of the forklift F so as to be movable up and down is extended upward, the roof 11 of the drying chamber 1 is a single-flow roof, and the rain gutter 12 is Since it is installed in the center, the mast F12 does not get in the way of contact with a part of the drying cabinet 1 such as the roof 11 and the ridge 12 and incidental equipment, and the worker can put the forklift F in front of the drying cabinet 1. It is easy to wear and the fork F11 can be easily loaded into the drying chamber 1. Then, while adjusting the height of the fork F11 as necessary, a plurality of horizontally placed timbers W are bridged between the support arms 41, 41 at predetermined stages and stacked horizontally. In this case, if the wood is long, the wood W is supported across all the support arms 41 of the stage, and if the wood is short, the wood W is supported across the support arms 41 of a part of the stage. do it. Further, when there is wood W to be dried, the same operation is repeated by the forklift F. Moreover, in the case of this drying cabinet 1, since the wood W accommodated horizontally in the drying cabinet 1 is provided with a means for inclining in a direction in which one end of the wood W is lowered with respect to the other end, One end of W is inclined in the direction of lowering the other end.

このようにして乾燥させる木材Wの搬入が終わると、図4(b)に示すように、作業員は、フォークリフトFを後退させて、フォークF11を乾燥庫1から引き出す。そして、図1に示すように、乾燥庫1の正面の扉21を閉め、正面の横長の開口20を閉塞する。この場合、扉21の操作盤の操作により、扉21が収納されている開口20の上方所定の位置から、最下部位置の扉パネル211が開口20の最上部位置に向けて前進し、この扉パネル211が下がるとともに、次の扉パネル211(最下部位置の扉パネル211の直上の扉パネル211)がまた最上部位置に向けて前進し、最上部位置から下がる動作を繰り返し、各扉パネル211が開口20に連接して展開され、正面の開口20全面が閉じられて、乾燥庫1の内部と外部が完全に遮断される。  When the carrying of the wood W to be dried is finished in this way, the worker retracts the forklift F and pulls out the fork F11 from the drying cabinet 1 as shown in FIG. And as shown in FIG. 1, the door 21 of the front of the drying cabinet 1 is closed, and the oblong opening 20 of the front is obstruct | occluded. In this case, by operating the operation panel of the door 21, the door panel 211 at the lowest position moves forward from a predetermined position above the opening 20 in which the door 21 is accommodated toward the uppermost position of the opening 20. As the panel 211 is lowered, the next door panel 211 (the door panel 211 immediately above the door panel 211 at the lowest position) moves forward again toward the uppermost position, and the operation of lowering from the uppermost position is repeated. Are connected to the opening 20, the entire front opening 20 is closed, and the inside and the outside of the drying cabinet 1 are completely shut off.

そして、この木材乾燥装置D2で木材Wの乾燥を開始する。この場合、まず、乾燥庫1に設置されたプログラマブル表示器18を使って、乾燥庫1内の温度、湿度を所定の温度、湿度に設定し、乾燥庫1の各種機器をON(作動状態)にする。この場合、この設定及び各種機器のON操作は、プログラマブル表示器18の表示画面にタッチパネル式の操作盤を表示し、この操作盤の操作により行う。なお、この場合、乾燥庫1内の温度は35℃〜40℃に設定することが望ましい。これにより、乾燥庫1内の温度、湿度がプログラマブル表示器18の表示機能により表示され、乾燥庫1内の設定温度、設定湿度がプログラマブル表示器18のセンサ機能により管理されて、乾燥庫1の各種機器はプログラマブル表示器18のコントロール機能の制御により駆動される。
すなわち、乾燥庫1内の温度はプログラマブル表示器18の表示機能により表示され、乾燥庫1内の温度がプログラマブル表示器18のセンサ機能により監視されて、複数の遠赤外線ヒータ3がそれぞれ、プログラマブル表示器18のコントロール機能の制御により駆動される。図5に示すように、各遠赤外線ヒータ3から放射される輻射熱は、木材Wに向けて直接に、さらに乾燥庫1の内面の各反射材102に反射され、間接的に木材Wに向けて照射される。つまり、遠赤外線ヒータ3から放射される輻射熱は木材Wだけに集中する。周知のとおり、遠赤外線セラミックヒータは、被加熱物の吸収波長に合った電磁波を発し、この電磁波が直接被加熱物に吸収されることから、木材Wは高効率に加熱されて、均一に効率よく乾燥される。なお、遠赤外線は除菌作用があり、木材に対して除菌効果もある。また、この木材Wの加熱により木材Wの温度が上昇して、乾燥庫1内の空気が暖められ、乾燥庫1内の空気の温度が上昇するので、木材Wはまたこの乾燥庫1内の暖められた空気により熱が伝導され、乾燥される。このとき、乾燥庫1内では複数の空気搬送ファン17がプログラマブル表示器18のコントロール機能の制御により連係して駆動されるので、乾燥庫1内全域で空気が効果的に対流し、乾燥庫1内が所定の温度に均一に保持されて、温度ムラが生じることがなく、木材Wがムラなく高品質に効果的に乾燥される。また、このとき、木材Wが一端を他端に対して下げる方向に傾斜されているので、木材Wの内部で水分が高い方から低い方へと流れて、木材Wの乾燥がより促進される。なお、乾燥庫1内の温度はプログラマブル表示器18のセンサ機能により常時監視されるので、乾燥庫1内の温度が所定の温度を超えると、遠赤外線ヒータ3は自動的に動作を停止し、乾燥庫1内の温度が所定の温度を下回ると、遠赤外線ヒータ3は自動的に動作を開始し、乾燥庫1内の温度が所定の温度に調整される。
また、乾燥庫1内の湿度はプログラマブル表示器18の表示機能により表示され、乾燥庫1内の湿度がプログラマブル表示器18のセンサ機能により管理されて、複数の排気用ファン15がそれぞれ、プログラマブル表示器18のコントロール機能の制御により駆動される。図5に示すように、乾燥庫1内で木材Wが加熱乾燥されていくと、木材Wの内部から水分が蒸発し、これが乾燥庫1内に滞留して、乾燥庫1内の湿度が上昇する。この湿度が所定の湿度を超えると、これがプログラマブル表示器18のセンサ機能により検知され、乾燥庫1の天面の排気用ファン15が自動的に回転し、乾燥庫1内が排気され、乾燥庫1内の水分が外部に排出される。この場合、水分は乾燥庫1の天面の外部、すなわちこの天面と屋根11との間の中空部に排出され、この中空部から中空部の正面及び背面の各排気用ファン15を通して乾燥庫1の外部に排出される。なお、乾燥庫1内の湿度はプログラマブル表示器18のセンサ機能により常時管理されるので、乾燥庫1内の湿度が所定の湿度まで下がると、排気用ファン15は自動的に動作を停止し、乾燥庫1内の湿度が所定の湿度を超えると、排気用ファン15は自動的に動作を開始し、乾燥庫1内の湿度が所定の温度に調整される。
さらに、乾燥庫1内に設置された調湿材、すなわち、反射材102と断熱材101との間に配置された調湿材の吸湿状態がプログラマブル表示器18のセンサ機能により管理され、乾燥庫1の正面及び背面の複数の排気用ファン15がそれぞれ、プログラマブル表示器18のコントロール機能の制御により駆動される。図5に示すように、乾燥庫1内で木材Wの加熱乾燥とともに、木材Wの内部から水分が蒸発し、これが乾燥庫1内に設置された調湿材に吸収されていき、調湿材の水分の吸収量が高くなると、調湿材は水分の吸収性能が徐々に低下する。この乾燥庫1の内面中の湿度が所定の湿度を超えると、これがプログラマブル表示器18のセンサ機能により検知され、乾燥庫1の正面及び背面の排気用ファン15が自動的に回転し、乾燥庫1と外部が、透湿性の反射材102、反射材102と断熱材101との間に配置された調湿材の隙間、この調湿材と断熱材101との間に形成された通気路及び断熱材101、鋼板に形成された排気口を通じて通気され、乾燥庫1の内面中の水分が乾燥庫1の正面及び背面の各排気用ファン15から外部に排出される。なお、乾燥庫1の内面中の湿度はプログラマブル表示器18のセンサ機能により常時管理されるので、乾燥庫1の内面中の湿度が所定の湿度まで下がると、各排気用ファン15は自動的に動作を停止し、乾燥庫1の内面中の湿度が所定の湿度を超えると、各排気用ファン15は自動的に動作を開始し、乾燥庫1の内面中の調湿材の吸湿作用が良好に保持される。
Then, the drying of the wood W is started by the wood drying device D2. In this case, first, using the programmable display 18 installed in the drying cabinet 1, the temperature and humidity in the drying cabinet 1 are set to predetermined temperatures and humidity, and various devices in the drying cabinet 1 are turned on (operating state). To. In this case, this setting and ON operation of various devices are performed by displaying a touch panel type operation panel on the display screen of the programmable display 18 and operating this operation panel. In this case, it is desirable to set the temperature in the drying chamber 1 to 35 ° C to 40 ° C. Thereby, the temperature and humidity in the drying cabinet 1 are displayed by the display function of the programmable display 18, and the set temperature and setting humidity in the drying cabinet 1 are managed by the sensor function of the programmable display 18. Various devices are driven by the control function of the programmable display 18.
That is, the temperature in the drying chamber 1 is displayed by the display function of the programmable display 18, the temperature in the drying chamber 1 is monitored by the sensor function of the programmable display 18, and each of the plurality of far infrared heaters 3 is displayed in a programmable manner. It is driven by the control of the control function of the device 18. As shown in FIG. 5, the radiant heat radiated from each far-infrared heater 3 is reflected directly toward the wood W, and further reflected by the reflectors 102 on the inner surface of the drying cabinet 1, and indirectly toward the wood W. Irradiated. That is, the radiant heat radiated from the far infrared heater 3 is concentrated only on the wood W. As is well known, the far-infrared ceramic heater emits an electromagnetic wave that matches the absorption wavelength of the object to be heated, and this electromagnetic wave is directly absorbed by the object to be heated, so that the wood W is heated with high efficiency and is uniformly efficient. Dry well. In addition, far-infrared rays have a sterilizing effect and also have a sterilizing effect on wood. Further, the temperature of the wood W rises due to the heating of the wood W, the air in the drying cabinet 1 is warmed, and the temperature of the air in the drying cabinet 1 rises. Heat is conducted by the warmed air and dried. At this time, since a plurality of air transport fans 17 are driven in association with each other by control of the control function of the programmable display 18 in the drying chamber 1, air is effectively convected throughout the drying chamber 1, and the drying chamber 1. The inside is uniformly held at a predetermined temperature, temperature unevenness does not occur, and the wood W is effectively dried with high quality without unevenness. At this time, since the wood W is inclined in the direction of lowering one end relative to the other end, the moisture flows inside the wood W from the higher side to the lower side, and the drying of the wood W is further promoted. . Since the temperature in the drying chamber 1 is constantly monitored by the sensor function of the programmable display 18, the far-infrared heater 3 automatically stops operating when the temperature in the drying chamber 1 exceeds a predetermined temperature. When the temperature in the drying chamber 1 falls below a predetermined temperature, the far-infrared heater 3 automatically starts to operate, and the temperature in the drying chamber 1 is adjusted to the predetermined temperature.
Moreover, the humidity in the drying cabinet 1 is displayed by the display function of the programmable display 18, the humidity in the drying cabinet 1 is managed by the sensor function of the programmable display 18, and each of the plurality of exhaust fans 15 is programmable. It is driven by the control of the control function of the device 18. As shown in FIG. 5, when the wood W is heated and dried in the drying cabinet 1, the moisture evaporates from the inside of the wood W and stays in the drying cabinet 1 to increase the humidity in the drying cabinet 1. To do. When this humidity exceeds a predetermined humidity, this is detected by the sensor function of the programmable display 18, the exhaust fan 15 on the top of the drying cabinet 1 automatically rotates, the inside of the drying cabinet 1 is exhausted, and the drying cabinet The moisture in 1 is discharged to the outside. In this case, moisture is discharged to the outside of the top surface of the drying chamber 1, that is, to the hollow portion between the top surface and the roof 11, and the drying chamber is passed through the exhaust fans 15 on the front and back surfaces of the hollow portion. 1 is discharged to the outside. In addition, since the humidity in the drying chamber 1 is always managed by the sensor function of the programmable display 18, the exhaust fan 15 automatically stops operating when the humidity in the drying chamber 1 falls to a predetermined humidity. When the humidity in the drying chamber 1 exceeds a predetermined humidity, the exhaust fan 15 automatically starts operating, and the humidity in the drying chamber 1 is adjusted to a predetermined temperature.
Furthermore, the moisture absorption state of the humidity control material installed in the drying chamber 1, that is, the humidity control material disposed between the reflective material 102 and the heat insulating material 101 is managed by the sensor function of the programmable display 18, and the Each of the plurality of exhaust fans 15 on the front surface and the rear surface of the one is driven by control of the control function of the programmable display 18. As shown in FIG. 5, as the wood W is heated and dried in the drying cabinet 1, moisture is evaporated from the inside of the wood W and is absorbed by the humidity conditioning material installed in the drying cabinet 1. As the amount of moisture absorbed increases, the moisture-absorbing material gradually decreases in moisture absorption performance. When the humidity in the inner surface of the drying cabinet 1 exceeds a predetermined humidity, this is detected by the sensor function of the programmable display 18, and the exhaust fans 15 on the front and rear sides of the drying cabinet 1 are automatically rotated to dry the drying cabinet. 1 and the outside are moisture-permeable reflecting material 102, a gap between the humidity adjusting material disposed between the reflecting material 102 and the heat insulating material 101, a ventilation path formed between the humidity adjusting material and the heat insulating material 101, and Air is passed through the heat insulating material 101 and an exhaust port formed in the steel plate, and moisture in the inner surface of the drying chamber 1 is discharged to the outside from the exhaust fans 15 on the front and rear surfaces of the drying chamber 1. In addition, since the humidity in the inner surface of the drying chamber 1 is constantly managed by the sensor function of the programmable display 18, each exhaust fan 15 is automatically activated when the humidity in the inner surface of the drying chamber 1 falls to a predetermined humidity.
