Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of quartz processing, and more specifically, to a multi-stage quartz drying apparatus. Background Technology
[0002] Quartz is a mineral resource with very stable physical and chemical properties. Its crystals are oxide minerals belonging to the trigonal crystal system. Quartz blocks, also known as silica, are mainly used as raw materials for producing quartz sand (also known as silica sand), and are also used as raw materials for quartz refractory materials and ferrosilicon.
[0003] Currently, there are flexible quartz glass (flexible quartz sheets) on the market. In actual use, patterns are printed on the surface of this flexible glass to maintain its appearance. However, in the subsequent printing process, the quartz glass is usually placed statically in a drying oven, which results in gaps in the printed patterns on the printed surface, thus affecting its subsequent use. Summary of the Invention
[0004] This invention provides a multi-stage quartz drying device, which solves the technical problems in related technologies.
[0005] According to one aspect of the present invention, a multi-stage quartz drying apparatus is provided, comprising a conveying mechanism and a drying mechanism. A flexible quartz sheet is arranged inside the conveying mechanism, which is used to drive the flexible quartz sheet to move horizontally. The drying mechanism is mounted on the conveying mechanism and is used to heat and dry the ink layer on the surface of the flexible quartz sheet. The conveying mechanism includes two sets of supports and a vibration assembly. A passive component is provided on one side of the two sets of supports opposite to each other. The passive component is used to drive the cross-section of the flexible quartz sheet to change from a straight line to a U-shape and from a U-shape to an inverted U-shape. The vibration assembly cooperates with the flexible quartz sheet and is used to drive the deformed flexible quartz sheet to vibrate.
[0006] Furthermore, the passive component includes a guide groove, the inner wall of which is fitted with rolling elements, and the two sides of the flexible quartz sheet are arranged inside the guide groove and clamped and limited between the two sets of rolling elements.
[0007] Furthermore: the guide groove includes a horizontal groove section, an A-inclined groove section, and a B-inclined groove section, which are interconnected and arranged sequentially along the length of the support. The fixing components include rollers A, B, and C, which are respectively arranged in the horizontal groove section, the A-inclined groove section, and the B-inclined groove section. Rollers A, B, and C are interconnected by a chain. A drive assembly is also installed on the support, and the drive assembly is connected to the chain.
[0008] Furthermore: the groove direction of the horizontal groove section, the A inclined groove section, and the B inclined groove section are all consistent with the length direction of the support. The cross-section of the horizontal groove section is rectangular, the A inclined groove section is a downwardly inclined rhombus, the B inclined groove section is an upwardly inclined rhombus, the A roller has a rectangular cross-section, and the B roller and the C roller are isosceles trapezoids that match the A inclined groove section and the B inclined groove section.
[0009] Furthermore, the vibration assembly is installed in three sets, with the three sets of vibration mechanisms corresponding to the horizontal groove section, the A inclined groove section, and the B inclined groove section, respectively.
[0010] Furthermore, the vibration assembly includes a drive element and a cam, the cam being arranged below the flexible quartz sheet and in contact with the lower surface of the flexible quartz sheet, and the drive element being used to drive the cam to rotate below the flexible quartz sheet.
[0011] Furthermore: the driving component includes a drive shaft and a connecting rod. The connecting rod is arranged on two sets of brackets and its two ends are fixedly connected to the two sets of brackets. A transmission shaft is mounted on the brackets. The two ends of the transmission shaft are rotatably connected to the connecting rod. The axial direction of the transmission shaft is consistent with the width direction of the bracket. The drive shaft is mounted on one end of the transmission shaft. The axis of the drive shaft is consistent with the axis of the transmission shaft. A cam is mounted on the outer wall of the transmission shaft. The protrusion of the cam contacts the lower surface of the flexible quartz sheet.
[0012] Furthermore, the cams are provided in multiple sets and are arranged equidistantly along the axial direction of the drive shaft.
[0013] Furthermore, the line connecting each set of cam protrusions matches the shape of the cross-section of the flexible quartz sheet.
[0014] Furthermore: the drying mechanism includes a drying chamber, an internal heating element and a heating pipe inside the drying chamber, the heating element is connected to the heating pipe, and several air outlets are provided at the bottom of the heating pipe.
[0015] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: During use, the limiting component drives the flexible quartz sheet to deform using its own flexibility, causing the printing surface of the flexible quartz sheet to bend inward and then open outward, so that the ink on the printing surface moves and opens the gaps between the inks. At the same time, driven by the vibration component, the movement of the ink is accelerated, so that the ink can quickly fill the gaps, thereby allowing the ink to be evenly attached to the flexible quartz sheet.

[0026] Example 1
[0027] like Figures 1-8As shown, a multi-stage quartz drying device includes a conveying mechanism 1 and a drying mechanism 2. A flexible quartz sheet 3 is arranged inside the conveying mechanism 1. The conveying mechanism 1 is used to drive the flexible quartz sheet 3 to move horizontally. The drying mechanism 2 is installed on the conveying mechanism 1 and is used to heat and dry the ink layer on the surface of the flexible quartz sheet 3. The conveying mechanism 1 includes two sets of supports 11 and a vibration component 13. A passive component 12 is provided on one side of the two sets of supports 11 opposite to each other. The passive component 12 is used to drive the cross-section of the flexible quartz sheet 3 from a straight line to a U-shape and from a U-shape to an inverted U-shape. The vibration component 13 cooperates with the flexible quartz sheet 3 and is used to drive the deformed flexible quartz sheet 3 to vibrate.
[0028] The passive component 12 includes a guide groove 121, on the inner wall of which a rolling element 122 is installed. The two sides of the flexible quartz sheet 3 are arranged inside the guide groove 121 and clamped and limited between the two sets of rolling elements 122.
[0029] The guide groove 121 includes a horizontal groove section 1211, an A-inclined groove section 1212, and a B-inclined groove section 1213, which are interconnected and arranged sequentially along the length of the bracket 11. The fixing components include an A-roller 1221, a B-roller 1222, and a C-roller 1223, which are respectively arranged in the horizontal groove section 1211, the A-inclined groove section 1212, and the B-inclined groove section 1213. The A-roller 1221, the B-roller 1222, and the C-roller 1223 are interconnected by a chain. A drive assembly is also installed on the bracket 11, and the drive assembly is connected to the chain.
[0030] The groove directions of horizontal groove section 1211, inclined groove section A 1212 and inclined groove section B 1213 are all consistent with the length direction of support 11. The cross-section of horizontal groove section 1211 is rectangular, inclined groove section A 1212 is a downwardly inclined rhombus, inclined groove section B 1213 is an upwardly inclined rhombus, roller A 1221 has a rectangular cross-section, and roller B 1222 and roller C 1223 are isosceles trapezoids that match inclined groove section A and inclined groove section B 1213.
[0031] The vibration assembly 13 is equipped with three sets, and the three sets of vibration mechanisms correspond to the horizontal groove section 1211, the A inclined groove section 1212, and the B inclined groove section 1213, respectively.
[0032] The vibration assembly 13 includes a drive member and a cam 135. The cam 135 is arranged below the flexible quartz plate 3 and contacts the lower surface of the flexible quartz plate 3. The drive member is used to drive the cam 135 to rotate below the flexible quartz plate 3.
[0033] The driving component includes a drive shaft 131 and a connecting rod 132. The connecting rod 132 is arranged on two sets of brackets 11 and its two ends are fixedly connected to the two sets of brackets 11. A transmission shaft 134 is mounted on the brackets 11. The two ends of the transmission shaft 134 are rotatably connected to the connecting rod 132. The axial direction of the transmission shaft 134 is consistent with the width direction of the brackets 11. The drive shaft 131 is mounted on one end of the transmission shaft 134. The axis of the drive shaft 131 is consistent with the axis of the transmission shaft 134. A cam 135 is mounted on the outer wall of the transmission shaft 134. The protrusion of the cam 135 contacts the lower surface of the flexible quartz sheet 3.
[0034] Multiple sets of cams 135 are provided and are equidistantly arranged along the axial direction of the drive shaft 134.
[0035] The line connecting the protrusions of each cam 135 matches the shape of the cross-section of the flexible quartz plate 3.
[0036] The drying mechanism 2 includes a drying box 21, an internal heating element 22 and a heating pipe 23. The heating element 22 is connected to the heating pipe 23, and several air outlets are provided at the bottom of the heating pipe 23.
[0037] In the process of using the drying device of the present invention, the two sides of the quartz sheet are first fed into the guide groove 121, and the two sides of the quartz sheet are clamped by the rolling element 122. Then the driving component drives the rolling element 122 in the guide to rotate, and the rotation of the rolling element 122 drives the flexible quartz sheet 3 to move along the groove of the guide groove 121.
[0038] When the flexible quartz sheet 3 is in the horizontal groove section 1211, roller A 1221 drives the flexible quartz sheet 3 to function within the horizontal groove section 1211. Since the cross-section of the horizontal groove section 1211 is rectangular, the flexible quartz sheet 3 located between the two sets of guide grooves 121 remains unchanged. During the movement, the heating element 22 delivers hot air to the heating pipe 23 and blows the hot air onto the flexible quartz sheet 3 through multiple air outlets arranged on the heating pipe 23, thus drying the printed pattern on the printed surface of the flexible quartz sheet 3.
[0039] Subsequently, the flexible quartz sheet 3 continues to move. When it moves from the horizontal groove section 1211 to the inclined groove section A 1212, the flexible quartz sheet 3 deforms due to its own flexibility. Since the cross-section of the inclined groove A is a downward-sloping rhombus, the flexible quartz sheet 3 bends downward into a U-shape under the constraint of the inclined groove A. At this time, the printing surface of the flexible quartz sheet 3 is squeezed inward under its own deformation, and the ink is also squeezed and flows inward. The flow and squeezing of the ink can expel the air inside, eliminating air bubbles and voids in the ink. Simultaneously, the drive shaft 131 drives the transmission shaft 134 to rotate through the gear set 133. The rotation of the transmission shaft 134... The cam 135 rotates synchronously, and the protrusion of the cam 135 continuously contacts the lower surface of the flexible quartz sheet 3 during rotation, causing the flexible quartz sheet 3 to vibrate under the contact of the rotating cam 135. The vibration accelerates the flow of ink on the pattern, so that the ink can be evenly attached to the flexible quartz sheet 3. Meanwhile, the heating pipe 23 continuously blows hot air onto the flexible quartz sheet 3 to dry it in real time. The roller 1222 in the inclined groove section A 1212 is an isosceles trapezoid, and the inclined surface of the isosceles trapezoid contacts the two sides of the U-shaped flexible quartz sheet 3, so that the deformed flexible quartz sheet 3 can also move within the inclined groove section A 1212.
[0040] Similarly, when the flexible quartz sheet 3 moves from the A inclined groove section 1212 to the B inclined groove section 1213, the flexible quartz sheet 3 deforms again due to its own flexibility. Since the cross-section of the B inclined guide groove is an upwardly inclined rhombus, the flexible quartz sheet 3 will bend upwards into a U-shape (an inverted U-shape) under the constraint of the B inclined guide groove. At this time, the printing surface of the flexible quartz sheet 3 expands outwards due to its own deformation, and the printed pattern expands accordingly, opening the gaps between the inks on the printing surface. At this time, the drive shaft 131 drives the transmission shaft 134 to rotate through the gear set 133. The rotation of the transmission shaft 134 drives the cam 135 to rotate synchronously. The protrusion of the cam 135 does not... The cam 135 makes continuous contact with the lower surface of the flexible quartz sheet 3, causing the flexible quartz sheet 3 to vibrate under the rotational contact of the cam 135. The vibration accelerates the flow of ink on the pattern, allowing the ink to flow into the open gaps and fill the gaps between the inks, so that the ink can be evenly attached to the flexible quartz sheet 3. Meanwhile, the heating pipe 23 continuously blows hot air onto the flexible quartz sheet 3 to dry it in real time. The roller 1223 in the inclined section B 1213 is an isosceles trapezoid, and the inclined surface of the isosceles trapezoid contacts the two sides of the inverted U-shaped flexible quartz sheet 3, so that the deformed flexible quartz sheet 3 can also move within the inclined section B 1213.
[0041] Finally, after the flexible quartz sheet 3 has undergone multiple deformations and drying processes, the ink on the pattern has been evenly adhered to the printed surface of the flexible quartz sheet 3, and after drying, it can be output from the inclined groove section 1213 of B by the rotation of roller C 1223.
[0042] The embodiments of this embodiment have been described above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, this embodiment is not limited to the specific implementation methods described above. The specific implementation methods described above are merely illustrative and not restrictive. Those skilled in the art can make many other forms under the guidance of this embodiment without departing from the spirit of this embodiment and the scope of protection of the claims, and all of these forms are within the protection scope of this embodiment.
