Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of fountain pen technology, specifically to a high-efficiency fountain pen tip drying cabinet. Background Technology
[0002] Fountain pens are a common writing instrument. The nib is made of metal, providing a smooth and flexible writing experience. The pen works by using capillary action to guide ink to the nib, which is then transferred to the paper. However, the production of the nib is complex and involves a long process, requiring multiple stamping steps. During production, impurities such as lubricating oil and iron filings can accumulate on the nib surface. These impurities or residues can affect the ink's flow through the nib to the paper. Therefore, the nib needs to be cleaned and dried before assembly to prepare it for the next stage of production. A specialized device needs to be designed to effectively and quickly dry the cleaned nib, which would help improve production efficiency and reduce energy consumption. Summary of the Invention
[0003] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a high-efficiency fountain pen nib drying cabinet, which solves the problem that water vapor, liquid droplets and other residues often remain inside the nibs of existing fountain pens.
[0004] The present invention is achieved through the following technical solution.
[0005] This invention discloses a high-efficiency fountain pen tip drying cabinet, comprising a cabinet body with a main body space inside. A preliminary treatment component is provided on one side of the main body space, and a drying component is provided on the other side of the main body space.

[0020] The following is combined with Figure 1-5 The present invention will be described in detail below. For ease of description, the directions referred to below are defined as follows: up, down, left, right, front, and back. Figure 1 The directions of the projection relationship are consistent in all directions: up, down, left, right, front, and back.
[0021] In a typical embodiment:
[0022] Combined with appendix Figure 1-5 The aforementioned high-efficiency fountain pen tip drying cabinet includes a cabinet body 10, within which a main space 11 is provided. A preliminary treatment component 14 is provided on one side of the main space 11, and a drying component 15 is provided on the other side of the main space 11. Both the preliminary treatment component 14 and the drying component 15 have several pen tips 42. The preliminary treatment component 14 is used to perform preliminary cleaning of the cleaning liquid and some residues on the pen tips 42, ensuring that no liquid droplets adhere to the surface of the pen tips 42, thereby accelerating the drying efficiency. At the same time, removing liquid droplets ensures that the surface of the pen tips 42 is smooth and spotless after drying. The drying component 15 dries the inside of the pen tips 42, keeping the inside of the pen tips 42 dry, while simultaneously ventilating to remove moisture from the pen tips 42, preventing moisture from remaining inside the pen tips 42 for a long time and affecting the quality of the pen tips 42.
[0023] The pen tip 42 includes a writing component 39, a grip component 40, and a pen refill 41. The grip component 40 is fixedly fitted onto the pen refill 41. The length of the grip component 40 is shorter than that of the pen refill 41. The pen refill 41 is fixedly connected to the writing component 39.
[0024] The drying assembly 15 includes a dryer 33, a rotating chain 28, a fixed rack 32, a support roller 30, a rotating gear 31, and an air blowing pipe 34. The rotating chain 28 of the drying assembly 15 is divided into two sections, front and rear, which are mounted on rotating chain gears 29. The rotating chain gears 29 of the two sections are coaxial. A movable shaft 43 is hinged to the rotating chain 28 and can rotate. The support roller 30 is fixed on the movable shaft 43. The support rollers 30 are arranged in groups of two, and each group of two support rollers 30 shares a pen. The pen tip 42 has a concave structure on the bearing roller 30. The protruding part of the grip 40 of the pen tip 42 cooperates with the concave structure of the bearing roller 30. The pen tip 42 is locked in place by locking, so that the pen tip 42 cannot move back and forth. The pen tip 42 is locked between the two bearing rollers 30. The pen core 41 of the pen tip 42 is located between the two bearing rollers 30 and is not blocked by the bearing rollers 30. After the pen tip 42 is locked on the bearing roller 30, the rotation of the bearing roller 30 will drive the pen tip 42 to rotate. The dryer 33 is fixed directly below the bearing roller 30.
[0025] One of the moving shafts 43 of each set of bearing rollers 30 extends forward, and a rotating gear 31 is fixedly mounted on the extended moving shaft 43. A fixed rack 32 is located on the front side of the rotating chain 28. The fixed rack 32 meshes with the rotating gear 31. When the rotating chain 28 starts to rotate, it drives the bearing roller 30 and the fixed rack 32 to undergo relative displacement. Simultaneously, the rotating gear 31 and the fixed rack 32 also undergo relative displacement. Due to the rotation... Gear 31 meshes with the fixed rack 32. When relative displacement occurs, the fixed rack 32 causes the rotating gear 31 to rotate. The rotation of the rotating gear 31 drives the bearing roller 30 to rotate. The rotation of the bearing roller 30 drives the pen tip 42 to rotate. When the dryer 33 is turned on, the rotating chain 28 rotates and drives the bearing roller 30 to rotate. The pen tip 42 rotates and moves along the rotating chain 28. The dryer 33 can fully dry the pen tip 42. The rotation of the pen tip 42 can ensure that all surfaces of the pen tip 42 are fully dried.
[0026] The fixed rack 32 is directly fixed to the cabinet wall on the front side of the main body space 11, or the fixed rack 32 is fixed in the main body space 11 by means of a rod, so as to maintain the continuous meshing of the fixed rack 32 with the rotating gear 31.
[0027] A pushing cylinder 37 is provided on the rear end wall of the drying assembly 15 within the main space 11. The pushing cylinder 37 has a pushing component 38, and the pushing component 38 has a connecting component 35. The front end of the connecting component 35 is connected to the air blowing pipe 34, and the rear end of the connecting component 35 is connected to a moving pipe 36. The moving pipe 36 is made of a flexible material and is movable. The moving pipe 36 is used to connect to an external fan. When it is necessary to dry the inside of the pen tip 42, the rotating chain 28 drives the pen tip 42 to move to the desired position via the carrying roller 30. When the air blowing pipe 34 is in front, the rotating chain 28 stops briefly. The pushing cylinder 37 drives the connecting member 35 through the pushing member 38 to move the air blowing pipe 34 forward, so that the air blowing pipe 34 is inserted into the pen refill cylinder 41 of the pen tip 42. The external fan blows warm, dry air into the pen refill cylinder 41 of the pen tip 42 through the air blowing pipe 34. The dry air blows out the water vapor in the pen tip 42. At the same time, the warm, dry air also helps to improve the drying efficiency and prevents the liquid vapor from remaining in the pen tip 42.
[0028] The preliminary processing component 14 includes a belt 26 installed within the main body space 11. One end of the belt 26 has a discharge component 27, through which the pen tip 42 falls onto the supporting roller 30. The belt 26 is used to move the pen tip 42. End posts can be provided on the front and rear sides of the belt 26 to limit the movement of the pen tip 42. Two wiping chains 19 are provided on the upper side of the belt 26. The wiping chains 19 are installed on the rear end wall of the main body space 11 via wiping gears 18. Several... The wiping wheel 20 rotates on the wiping chain 19. The wiping wheel 20 is made of absorbent material. The rotation of the wiping chain 19 causes the wiping wheel 20 to move along with the wiping chain 19, so that different wiping wheels 20 come into contact with the outer surface of the pen tip 42. When the pen tip 42 moves on the belt 26 by the rotation of the wiping wheel 20, the pen tip 42 will rotate when it comes into contact with the wiping wheel 20. The rotation of the pen tip 42 can make full contact between the outer surface of the pen tip 42 and the wiping wheel 20, removing droplets from the outer surface.
[0029] The preliminary processing component 14 also includes a blocking block 16 located on one side of the wiping chain 19. A blocking cylinder 17 is installed on the top end wall of the main body space 11 above the blocking block 16. The blocking cylinder 17 controls the movement of the blocking block 16. The blocking block 16 and the unloading component 27 are located on the same side. When the blocking block 16 descends, the pen tip 42 remains on the belt 26, keeping the pen tip 42 in contact with the wiping wheel 20. When the blocking block 16 rises, the pen tip 42 falls into the carrying roller 30 through the unloading component 27. The blocking block 16 will only rise when it moves from the middle position of each group of carrying rollers 30 to the end of the unloading component 27, ensuring that the pen tip 42 can fall into each group of carrying rollers 30 through the unloading component 27 after the blocking block 16 rises.
[0030] The preliminary processing component 14 also includes an adjustment component 25 located on the other side of the wiping chain 19. An adjustment cylinder 21 is installed on the top end wall of the main body space 11 at the top of the adjustment component 25. An adjustment motor 23 is connected to the lower side of the adjustment cylinder 21. An adjustment shaft 24 is provided on the adjustment motor 23. The adjustment shaft 24 is fixedly connected to the adjustment component 25. The adjustment component 25 is used to keep the pen tip 42 in the same orientation. When pen tips 42 with different orientations appear, the adjustment cylinder 21 drives the adjustment motor 23 and the adjustment component 25 to descend, restricting the pen tips 42 with different orientations between the two rods of the adjustment component 25. Then, the adjustment motor 23 turns on to drive the adjustment component 25 to rotate, changing the orientation of the pen tip 42.
[0031] A controller is installed inside the cabinet 10, or an external controller is connected to the device. The controller controls the rotation of the belt 26, the rotation of the rotating chain 28, and briefly stops the air blowing pipe 34 to align with the pen tip 42's refill cylinder 41. It also controls the push cylinder 37 to drive the air blowing pipe 34 into the pen tip cylinder 41, controls the blocking cylinder 17 to block the pen tip 42 on the belt 26, and controls the adjusting cylinder 21 and the adjusting motor 23 to rotate the pen tip 42.
[0032] The cabinet 10 is provided with a discharge port 13 on one side of the preliminary processing component 14, and the cabinet 10 is provided with a discharge port 12 on one side of the drying component 15.
[0033] Working principle: The pen tip 42 is placed on the belt 29 through the feed port 13. The belt 29 rotates, driving the pen tip 42 to move. When the pen tip 42 moves below the adjusting member 25, for pen tips 42 with different orientations, the adjusting cylinder 21 drives the adjusting motor 23 and the adjusting member 25 to descend, restricting the pen tips 42 with different orientations between the two rods of the adjusting member 25. Then the adjusting motor 23 turns on, driving the adjusting member 25 to rotate. The rotation of the adjusting member 25 drives the pen tip 42 to rotate, changing its orientation.
[0034] The blocking block 16 is initially in a descending state. The pen tip 42 is blocked by the blocking block 16 and rotates on the belt 29, so that the pen tip 42 keeps in contact with the wiping wheel 20. At this time, the wiping chain 19 rotates, causing the wiping wheel 20 to move with the wiping chain 19, so that different wiping wheels 20 contact the outer surface of the pen tip 42 to remove the liquid droplets on the outer surface.
[0035] After the blocking block 16 is raised, the pen tip 42 falls into the bearing roller 30 through the unloading component 27. The blocking block 16 will only be raised when it moves from the middle position of the bearing roller 30 in each group to the end of the unloading component 27, so as to ensure that the pen tip 42 can fall into the bearing roller 30 in each group through the unloading component 27 after the blocking block 16 is raised.
[0036] When the rotating chain 28 is turned on, it drives the bearing roller 30 to move and has relative displacement with the fixed rack 32. Simultaneously, the rotating gear 31 and the fixed rack 32 have relative displacement. Since the rotating gear 31 meshes with the fixed rack 32, the fixed rack 32 causes the rotating gear 31 to rotate during relative displacement. The rotation of the rotating gear 31 drives the bearing roller 30 to rotate, which in turn drives the pen tip 42 to rotate. When the dryer 33 is turned on, the rotating chain 28 rotates and drives the bearing roller 30 to rotate, causing the pen tip 42 to rotate and move along the rotating chain 28. The dryer 33 can thoroughly dry the pen tip 42, and the rotation of the pen tip 42 ensures that all surfaces of the pen tip 42 are fully dried.
[0037] When the rotating chain 28 drives the pen tip 42 to move in front of the air blowing pipe 34 via the bearing roller 30, the rotating chain 28 stops briefly. The pushing cylinder 37 drives the connecting member 35 via the pushing member 38 to move the air blowing pipe 34 forward, so that the air blowing pipe 34 is inserted into the pen refill cylinder 41 of the pen tip 42. The external fan blows warm, dry air into the pen refill cylinder 41 of the pen tip 42 through the air blowing pipe 34. The dry air blows out the water vapor in the pen tip 42. At the same time, the warm, dry air also helps to improve the drying efficiency and prevents the presence of liquid vapor residue in the pen tip 42.
[0038] The processed pen tip 42 is moved to the discharge port 12 by the rotating chain 28, and the dried pen tip 42 is taken out.
[0039] The above embodiments are only for illustrating the technical concept and features of the present invention, and are intended to enable those skilled in the art to understand and implement the present invention. They should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present invention. All equivalent changes or modifications made in accordance with the spirit and essence of the present invention should be covered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
