Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of drying technology, and more specifically to a hot air dryer. Background Technology
[0002] Hot air drying is a common papermaking process. Wet paper sheets leaving the press section typically contain 60%–70% moisture. They need to pass through a drying section to remove the moisture to below 10% to become dry paper, while simultaneously giving the paper a certain strength. During hot air drying, heat, mass, and force transfer occur between the hot air and the wet paper. The hot air transfers heat through convection, causing moisture to evaporate from the paper and carrying away moisture from the paper surface, thus achieving paper drying. In the papermaking process, wet paper needs to be dried after forming to obtain the finished paper. Hot air drying, as an efficient and rapid drying method, is widely used.
[0003] The air delivery width of a hot air dryer is a fixed value during use, but the width of the paper on the production line will change according to different needs. If the width of the dryer is too wide after the size change, it will lead to heat waste and increase production costs. If it is too narrow, the hot air will not be able to completely cover the paper, affecting the drying effect.
[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to propose a hot air dryer to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention
[0005] (a) Technical problems to be solved
[0006] The purpose of this invention is to address the problem that, during the use of a hot air dryer, the air delivery width is a fixed value, but the width of the paper on the production line changes according to different needs. If the width of the dryer is too wide, it will lead to heat waste and increase production costs; if it is too narrow, the hot air will not be able to completely cover the paper, affecting the drying effect. This invention provides a hot air dryer.

[0027] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0028] Please see Figure 1-8 A hot air dryer includes a hot air hood 1, a baffle mechanism, and a heating mechanism. The baffle mechanism includes a rotating shaft 6 and multiple baffle plates 5 that are uniformly rotatable along its axial direction. Mounting brackets 8 are fixedly connected to both ends of the hot air hood 1. The rotating shaft 6 is rotatably connected to the front end of the mounting brackets 8. A first motor 4 is fixedly connected to the outer side plate of one of the mounting brackets 8. Pulleys 10 are fixedly connected to the output shaft of the first motor 4 and to the end of the rotating shaft 6 near the motor. The two pulleys 10 are connected by a belt 9. Multiple torsion springs 12 corresponding to the baffle plates 5 are uniformly arranged on the rotating shaft 6. Multiple stops 11 are uniformly fixedly connected to the outer circumference of the rotating shaft 6. The two ends of the torsion springs 12 abut against the stops 11 and the baffle plates, respectively. On the 5, a slide rail 15 is fixedly connected to the bottom rear end of the mounting bracket 8. A second motor 13 is fixedly connected to one end of the slide rail 15. A threaded rod 16 is rotatably connected inside the slide rail 15. The threaded rod 16 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the second motor 13. A slider 14 that slides with the slide rail 15 is symmetrically threaded on the threaded rod 16. A mounting plate 20 is fixedly connected to one side of the bottom of the slider 14. A distance sensor 21 is fixedly connected to the mounting plate 20. A cantilever 19 is fixedly connected to the other side of the bottom of the slider 14. An extension plate 18 is fixedly connected to the end of the cantilever 19 away from the slider 14. A top rod 17 is fixedly connected to the front end of the extension plate 18. A limit plate 35 is fixedly connected to one side of the top surface of the wind deflector 5.
[0029] When using the device, after the width of the paper changes, the second motor 13 is activated. The second motor drives the threaded rod 16 to rotate, causing the two distance sensors 21 to move towards the center of the slide rail 15. After the distance sensors 21 sense the bottom of the paper, the distance between the two distance sensors 21 is the width of the paper, and the movement stops. Then the first motor 4 is activated, driving the rotating shaft 6 to rotate. The rotating shaft 6 drives the baffle plate 5 to rotate, opening the bottom of the hot air hood 1. When the baffle plate 5 rotates, the baffle plate 5 located at the top rod 17 is blocked, causing the torsion spring 12 to be compressed. The baffle plate 5 located at this location cannot open and remains closed. The other baffle plates 5 located near the sides of the hot air hood 1 are blocked by the adjacent baffle plates 5 under the action of the limiting plate and cannot open either. Therefore, the two outer positions of the open baffle plate 5 are located at the positions where the two edges of the paper coincide with the baffle plate 5.
[0030] The heating mechanism includes multiple fixed brackets 32 and heating wires 23 fixedly connected to them. Conductive rails 24 are fixedly connected parallel to each other on both sides of the inner wall of the hot air hood 1. The fixed brackets 32 are evenly fixed on the conductive rails 24. The two conductive rails 24 are electrically connected to the neutral and live wires of the mains power supply, respectively. A receiving groove 34 is provided at the center of the fixed bracket 32. Movable grooves 31 are provided on both sides of the inner wall of the receiving groove 34. A plug 27 is slidably disposed within the movable groove 31. A clamp 25 for inserting into the plug 27 is fixedly connected to the end of the receiving groove 34. A guide rod 28 is fixedly connected to one side plate of the plug 27. A compression spring 30 is movably sleeved at one end of the guide rod 28. The other end is fixedly connected to an anti-detachment plate 29. The width of the anti-detachment plate 29 is greater than the width of the push plate 33, so that when the oil cylinder 2 retracts, it can pull back the guide rod 28. Both ends of the rear side of the hot air cover 1 are fixedly connected to oil cylinders 2. The telescopic rod end of the oil cylinder 2 is fixedly connected to a push rod 22. The bottom surface of the push rod 22 is fixedly connected to a push plate 33 that is movably sleeved with the guide rod 28 along its length direction. The two ends of the heating wire 23 are electrically connected to one of the conductive rails 24 and the plug 27, respectively. The clamping plate 25 is electrically connected to the other conductive rail 24. An anti-insertion plate 26 is fixedly connected to the inner side plate of the wind deflector 5. The anti-insertion plate 26 is located between the plug 27 and the clamping plate 25.
[0031] When the hydraulic cylinder 2 is in the retracted state, the heating wire 23 is in an open circuit state. After the baffle 5 is opened, the hydraulic cylinder 2 is activated, pushing the plug 27 forward to connect the plug 27 to the clamp 25, thus forming a complete circuit between the two conductive rails 24 and the heating wire 23. At the closed baffle 5, due to the action of the anti-insertion plate 26, the compression spring 30 is compressed, preventing the plug 27 from being inserted into the clamp 25. This keeps the heating wire 23 at the closed baffle 5 in an open circuit state. Therefore, the heating wire 23 can operate according to the opening and closing of the baffle 5.
[0032] The limiting plate 35 is fixedly connected to one side edge of the wind deflector 5 near the center of the hot air cover 1, and one side of the limiting plate 35 is located above the adjacent wind deflector 5.
[0033] One end of the hot air hood 1 is fixedly connected to an air duct 7 that communicates with its interior. The air duct 7 is connected to a fan through the pipe to supply air to the device.
[0034] The length of the cantilever 19 is less than the width of the wind deflector 5. After detecting the width of the paper, the wind deflector 5 can be opened by overlapping the edge of the paper with the wind deflector 5 at any position, while the adjacent wind deflectors 5 will not be opened.
[0035] In summary, this invention, by setting multiple baffle structures on the bottom surface of the hot air hood, allows for precise drying of the paper by adjusting the opening and closing of the baffles according to the width of the paper during use, making it more convenient to use. Through the coordinated design of the plug and clamps, the heating range of the heating wire can be adjusted according to the width of the baffles during use, ensuring that the drying device heats only the paper area, thus guaranteeing heating effect while reducing power consumption.
