Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present application relates to the field of drying devices, and in particular to an auxiliary drying device for inkjet printers. Background Art
[0002] Inkjet printers are one of the important production equipment in the advertising decoration industry and are widely used in surface printing on various materials (such as inkjet cloth and advertising paper).
[0003] When an inkjet printer sprays patterns on the surface of a printing cloth, the pigment on the surface of the printing cloth usually cannot dry immediately. In order to avoid fading of the pattern on the surface of the printing cloth due to the pigment ink on the surface of the printing cloth not being completely dry when the printing cloth is subsequently packaged and rolled up, during the printing process of the inkjet printer, the printing cloth transmitted from the output end of the inkjet printer is usually manually pulled to the ground and spread out to allow the pigment ink on the surface of the printing cloth to dry naturally.
[0004] With regard to the above-mentioned related technologies, the printed cloth currently printed by the inkjet printer needs to be pulled to the ground and spread out to dry the pigment ink on the surface of the printed cloth that has not completely dried. This drying method not only has a relatively low drying efficiency, but also easily causes contamination of the printed cloth when it is spread on the ground. Therefore, there is room for improvement. Utility Model Content
[0005] In order to improve the drying efficiency of inkjet printing cloth, the present application provides an auxiliary drying device for an inkjet printer.
[0006] The present application provides an auxiliary drying device for an inkjet printer, which adopts the following technical solution:
[0007] An auxiliary drying device for an inkjet printer comprises a workbench, the workbench is located on one side of the output end of the inkjet printer, and a traction mechanism and a drying mechanism are arranged on the workbench;
[0008] The traction mechanism includes a clamping part and a sliding drive member, wherein the clamping part is used to clamp the inkjet printing cloth; the sliding drive member is drivingly connected to the clamping part and is used to drive the clamping part to move toward or away from the inkjet printer;

The drying bracket is located above the moving path of the clamping part. A plurality of heating elements are installed at the bottom of the drying bracket.
[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, when the inkjet printer prints the inkjet cloth, the end of the inkjet cloth transmitted from the output end of the inkjet printer is moved to the clamping part and the inkjet cloth is clamped by the clamping part. When the inkjet cloth is subsequently transmitted from the output end of the inkjet printer, the sliding drive part drives the clamped inkjet cloth to slide in the direction away from the inkjet printer. During the movement of the inkjet cloth driven by the clamping part, the passing inkjet cloth is dried by a number of heating elements on the drying bracket, thereby realizing rapid drying of the pigment ink on the surface of the inkjet cloth. Compared with the traditional drying method of natural air drying, the drying efficiency of the pigment ink on the surface of the inkjet cloth is greatly improved, which facilitates the subsequent winding and packaging of the printed inkjet cloth.
[0011] Preferably, the clamping part includes a limit frame, which is used for the inkjet printing cloth to pass through, and a plurality of clamping cylinders are installed on the top of the limit frame.

The cooling mechanism includes a cooling bracket, which is located above the moving path of the clamping part. The cooling bracket is equipped with a plurality of cooling fans, which are all arranged toward the workbench.
[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, when the subsequent sliding drive component drives the clamping part to drive the inkjet cloth to pass through the bottom of the cooling bracket, several cooling fans on the cooling bracket can blow air toward the surface of the inkjet cloth to cool down the inkjet cloth. On the one hand, it is beneficial to accelerate the solidification of the pigment ink on the surface of the inkjet cloth. On the other hand, it is convenient to quickly cool the inkjet cloth to room temperature so as to facilitate the subsequent winding and packaging of the inkjet cloth.
[0021] Preferably, support plates are vertically arranged at both ends of the cooling bracket, and the bottom ends of the support plates are connected to the workbench through connecting parts.
[0022] By adopting the above technical solution, on the one hand, a stable connection between the cooling bracket and the workbench surface is achieved; on the other hand, when the cooling fan on the subsequent cooling bracket fails and is damaged, the connecting part can be removed to remove the cooling bracket from the workbench, thereby facilitating the disassembly and replacement of the cooling fan of the cooling bracket.
[0023] Preferably, a plurality of heat dissipation holes are provided on the top of the workbench, and the plurality of heat dissipation holes are arranged opposite to the cooling bracket.
[0024] By adopting the above technical solution, the ventilation of the workbench surface can be increased through a plurality of heat dissipation holes, thereby facilitating better heat dissipation of the inkjet printed cloth after drying.

[0038] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 3 The clamping part includes a limit frame 21, and a plurality of clamping cylinders 22 are installed vertically downward on the top of the limit frame 21 along its own length direction. The piston rods of the clamping cylinders 22 are all penetrated into the inner cavity of the limit frame 21, and the ends of the piston rods of the clamping cylinders 22 are vertically connected with clamping blocks 23. Through the above arrangement, when the inkjet printing cloth is clamped by the clamping part later, the end of the inkjet printing cloth is inserted into the limit frame 21, and then the corresponding clamping blocks 23 are driven downward by the plurality of clamping cylinders 22 and pressed against the surface of the inkjet printing cloth, so that the inkjet printing cloth can be clamped and fixed.
[0039] A flexible pad 24 is also provided at the bottom of the clamping block 23. In this embodiment, the flexible pad 24 is a rubber pad. The flexible pad 24 is fixed to the clamping block 23 by glue. The provision of the flexible pad 24 can, on the one hand, reduce the damage to the printed cloth caused by the subsequent clamping block 23 against the printed cloth, and on the other hand, can increase the friction between the clamping block 23 and the printed cloth by the flexible pad 24, so that the printed cloth is not easy to be separated, which is conducive to the clamping part to clamp the printed cloth more firmly.
[0040] The sliding drive member includes two rodless cylinders 25 arranged in parallel, and the two rodless cylinders 25 are respectively installed on opposite sides of the workbench 1. The length direction of the rodless cylinders 25 is arranged parallel to the discharge direction of the inkjet printer 10.

Subsequently, the two rodless cylinders 25 drive their own slides to slide back and forth, so as to drive the clamping part to move toward or away from the inkjet printer 10.
[0041] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2The drying mechanism 3 includes a drying bracket 31 mounted above the workbench 1. The drying bracket 31 is located above the moving path of the clamping portion. A mounting groove 311 is provided at the bottom of the drying bracket 31.

In other embodiments, the heating element 32 may also be an infrared heating lamp or an electric heating plate. A plurality of guide ports 312 are also provided at the top of the mounting groove 311. The guide ports 312 are located above the heating element 32. A guide fan 33 is installed at each of the guide ports 312 and the guide fan 33 is arranged toward the workbench 1.
[0042] Through the setting of the drying mechanism 3, when the subsequent sliding drive drives the clamping part to drive the clamped inkjet cloth to pass through the bottom of the drying bracket 31, the guide fan 33 evenly blows the hot air generated by the heating element 32 to the surface of the inkjet cloth, thereby achieving rapid drying of the pigment ink on the surface of the inkjet cloth.

The bottom end of the lifting cylinder 5 is fixed to the workbench 1. The piston rod end at the top of the lifting cylinder 5 is connected to the lug 34 at the end of the drying bracket 31. Through the above arrangement, the lifting cylinder 5 drives its own piston rod to extend and retract, which can drive the drying bracket 31 to rise and fall in the vertical direction, thereby facilitating the adjustment of the distance between the drying mechanism 3 and the surface of the inkjet printed cloth according to actual drying needs.
[0044] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 5 The cooling mechanism 4 includes a cooling bracket 41 mounted above the workbench 1, the cooling bracket 41 is located above the moving path of the clamping portion, a plurality of mounting openings are evenly opened on the cooling bracket 41, and cooling fans 42 are installed at the mounting openings, and the cooling fans 42 are all arranged toward the workbench 1.
[0045] Through the setting of the cooling mechanism 4, when the subsequent sliding drive drives the clamping part to drive the clamped inkjet cloth to pass through the bottom of the cooling bracket 41, several cooling fans 42 on the cooling bracket 41 can blow air toward the surface of the inkjet cloth to cool the inkjet cloth. On the one hand, it is beneficial to accelerate the solidification of the pigment ink on the surface of the inkjet cloth. On the other hand, it is convenient to quickly cool the inkjet cloth to room temperature so as to facilitate the subsequent winding and packaging of the inkjet cloth.

[0048] The implementation principle of the embodiment of the present application is as follows: the clamping part is driven by the sliding drive to move to one end of the workbench 1 close to the inkjet printer 10, and the end of the inkjet cloth transmitted from the output end 101 of the inkjet printer 10 is inserted into the limit frame 21, and the corresponding clamping block 23 is driven by the plurality of clamping cylinders 22 on the limit frame 21 to move down and press against the surface of the inkjet cloth, so as to clamp and fix the end of the inkjet cloth; thereafter, while the output end 101 of the inkjet printer 10 outputs the inkjet cloth, the sliding drive drives the clamping part to drive the clamped inkjet cloth to move in a direction away from the inkjet printer 10. During the movement of the inkjet cloth, the guide fan 33 on the drying bracket 31 cooperates with the heating element 32 to heat and dry the inkjet cloth, so as to quickly remove the residual moisture in the pigment ink on the surface of the inkjet cloth; and then the plurality of cooling fans 42 of the cooling bracket 41 blow air toward the surface of the inkjet cloth, so as to cool the inkjet cloth to room temperature.
