Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the technical field of optical cable production, and in particular to a water-blocking tape drying device. Background Art

[0002] A water-blocking tape is a special material used in cables, optical cables and other wires and cables to prevent moisture intrusion. It is usually composed of materials such as non-woven fabric, rubber, carbon black, copper tape and highly water-absorbent water-blocking agent, and has the characteristic of swelling when encountering water. It can effectively prevent moisture from penetrating along the gaps of the cable or optical cable, protect the inside of the cable from moisture erosion, thereby extending the service life of the cable and ensuring the communication quality. It is widely used in many fields such as communication, electric power, construction, transportation, etc., and is an indispensable part of the waterproof design of wires and cables such as cables and optical cables.

[0003] The preparation process of the water-blocking tape includes steps such as raw material preparation, mixing and fusion, coating and laminating, re-coating, drying and forming, and performance testing. Through these steps, it can be ensured that the water-blocking tape has good water-blocking performance and applicability, meeting the waterproof requirements of wires and cables such as cables and optical cables.

[0004] Chinese Patent with Publication No. CN218531646U discloses a water-blocking tape drying device, which includes a drying box. Opposite ends of the drying box are provided with a feed inlet and a discharge outlet, both the feed inlet and the discharge outlet are communicated with the inside of the drying box. An electric heating wire mesh is arranged inside the drying box, and a conveying device for conveying non-woven fabric is arranged inside the drying box. The conveying device is located below the electric heating wire mesh, and a blower is connected to the top of the drying box. The air outlet of the blower is communicated with the inside of the drying box.

[0005] The above water-blocking tape drying device mainly utilizes the principle of hot air flow. The blower blows hot air onto the surface of the non-woven fabric through the electric heating wire mesh to improve the drying speed of the non-woven fabric. However, both sides of the non-woven fabric are coated with a special waterproof material. This drying device only blows hot air on the single side of the non-woven fabric facing the air outlet, while the single side of the non-woven fabric facing away from the air outlet is attached to the conveyor belt, resulting in the side of the non-woven fabric attached to the conveyor belt not being able to contact the flowing hot air, causing insufficient drying of this side of the non-woven fabric; if the single side of the non-woven fabric facing the air outlet is dried and leaves the drying device, in order to continue drying the other side, it may be turned over and then re-entered into the drying device for drying. At this time, the originally dried side is likely to be over-dried, which not only affects the performance and quality of the water-blocking tape, but also reduces the work efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0006] In order to improve the drying efficiency of the non-woven fabric, this application provides a water-blocking tape drying device.

[0007] A water-blocking tape drying device provided by this application adopts the following technical solutions:

[0008] A water-blocking tape drying device includes a drying box. At both ends of the drying box along the length direction, a feed inlet and a discharge outlet are respectively arranged. An electric heating wire mesh is arranged inside the drying box, and a blowing cylinder is arranged on the top wall of the drying box and communicated with the inside of the electric heating wire mesh. A blower is arranged at the air inlet of the blowing cylinder. A number of conveying rollers are arranged in a staggered manner along the conveying direction of the non-woven fabric inside the drying box. The number of conveying rollers is rotatably arranged below the electric heating wire mesh, and the non-woven fabric passes through between the number of conveying rollers in sequence. A heat exchanger is also arranged on the outer side wall of the drying box. A suction air pipe is communicated between the air inlet of the heat exchanger and the side wall inside the drying box above the number of conveying rollers, and the air inlet of the suction air pipe is located below the electric heating wire mesh. An air outlet pipe is communicated between the air outlet of the heat exchanger and the side wall inside the drying box below the number of conveying rollers.

[0009] By adopting the above technical solutions, the non-woven fabric enters the drying box from the feed inlet, is conveyed by the staggered conveying rollers, and leaves the drying box from the discharge outlet after the drying operation is completed. During the conveying process, the blower blows air to the electric heating wire mesh through the blowing cylinder to form hot air, which dries the non-woven fabric. At the same time, the heat exchanger sucks out part of the hot air in the drying box through the suction air pipe, exchanges heat and then blows it back into the drying box through the air outlet, forming a hot air circulation system, which improves the utilization efficiency of thermal energy. Due to the staggered arrangement of the conveying rollers, both the upper and lower surfaces of the non-woven fabric can be evenly heated during the conveying process, so as to realize uniform drying on both sides and further improve the drying efficiency.

[0010] Optionally, a dehumidifying air pipe is arranged on one side of the blower at the top of the drying box. The dehumidifying air pipe is arranged parallel to the length direction of the drying box, and a ventilation pipe is communicated between the dehumidifying air pipe and the inside of the drying box. The top end of the ventilation pipe extends into the inside of the dehumidifying air pipe. A dehumidifying fan communicating with the dehumidifying air pipe is also arranged on the dehumidifying air pipe. A water outlet communicating with an external collection device is also arranged on the side wall of the dehumidifying air pipe near the bottom.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solutions, the added dehumidifying air pipe and dehumidifying fan on the drying box can timely extract the water vapor generated during the drying process, prevent the water vapor from accumulating in the drying box, and thus further improve the drying effect. At the same time, by setting the water outlet to communicate with the external collection device, the extracted water vapor can be conveniently collected and processed.

[0012] Optionally, a diversion arc plate is arranged above the ventilation pipe inside the dehumidifying air pipe. The center of the arc of the diversion arc plate is located below itself, and the diversion arc plate covers the ventilation pipe and extends out of the outer peripheral side wall of the ventilation pipe along both sides of its own length direction.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, the dehumidifying fan sucks the water vapor generated during the drying process in the drying box into the dehumidifying air duct through the ventilation duct. The setting of the diversion arc plate enables the water vapor sucked into the ventilation duct to flow along the arc surface of the diversion arc plate to the inside of the dehumidifying air duct. Since the ventilation duct is located inside the dehumidifying air duct and higher than the bottom wall of the dehumidifying air duct, the possibility of the condensed water in the water vapor flowing back into the drying box from the ventilation duct is reduced, and the drying effect of the water blocking belt is further improved.

[0014] Optionally, the drying box is equally divided into multiple units along the length direction. One blower, one heat exchanger, and one electric heating wire mesh are provided in the drying box corresponding to each unit. A central control screen is provided on the side wall of the drying box, and each blower, heat exchanger, and electric heating wire mesh are electrically connected to the central control screen.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, the drying conditions of each unit, such as temperature, humidity, and wind speed, can be monitored and controlled in real time through the central control screen. In this way, the drying conditions can be flexibly adjusted according to the drying situation of the non-woven fabric to ensure that the non-woven fabric is evenly heated and achieves the best drying effect.

[0016] Optionally, a support frame is provided at the bottom of the drying box, and heat dissipation channels are provided on the bottom wall of the drying box corresponding to each unit. A box door is provided on the bottom wall of the drying box corresponding to each heat dissipation channel, and an electromagnetic lock is provided on the box door. The electromagnetic lock is electrically connected to the central control screen.

[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, the setting of the heat dissipation channels helps to accelerate the heat dissipation efficiency of the drying box after it stops working, thereby reducing the waiting time for the operator to maintain the drying box, and further improving the working efficiency of the drying box.

[0018] Optionally, a filter screen is detachably provided at each blowing cylinder.

[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, the setting of the filter screen helps to filter impurities and dust in the air entering the drying box, reducing the possibility of impurities and dust interfering with the non-woven fabric being dried inside the drying box, thereby improving the drying effect of the non-woven fabric inside the drying box.

[0020] Optionally, cleaning ports are provided on the side wall of the drying box near the bottom corresponding to each unit, and a bin door is hinged at each cleaning port.

[0021] By adopting the above technical solution, the setting of the cleaning ports facilitates the operator to regularly clean the impurities accumulated at the bottom inside the drying box, thereby increasing the service life of the drying box and improving the drying effect of the drying box on the non-woven fabric.

[0022] Optionally, an inclined discharge plate is provided at the inner bottom of the drying box corresponding to each unit, and a connection is provided between the side wall below the inclination of each inclined discharge plate and the bottom wall of the cleaning port.

[0023] By adopting the above technical solution, the inclined discharge plate facilitates the rolling of dust and impurities along the inclined surface of the inclined discharge plate and accumulation at the cleaning port, and the inclined discharge plate reduces the dead angle of cleaning at the inner bottom of the drying box, improving the cleaning efficiency of the operator in cleaning the impurities inside the drying box.

[0024] In summary, the present application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:

[0025] 1. The non-woven fabric enters the drying box from the feed port, is conveyed by the staggered conveying rollers, and leaves the drying box from the discharge port after the drying operation is completed. During the conveying process, the blower blows air through the air duct onto the electric heating wire mesh to form hot air for drying the non-woven fabric; at the same time, the heat exchanger sucks out part of the hot air in the drying box through the suction duct, exchanges heat and then blows it back into the drying box through the air outlet, forming a hot air circulation system, improving the utilization efficiency of thermal energy. Due to the staggered arrangement of the conveying rollers, both the upper and lower surfaces of the non-woven fabric can be evenly heated during the conveying process, thereby achieving uniform drying on both sides and further improving the drying efficiency;

[0026] 2. The additional dehumidifying air duct and dehumidifying fan on the drying box can timely extract the water vapor generated during the drying process, preventing the water vapor from accumulating in the drying box, thereby further improving the drying effect. At the same time, by setting the water outlet to communicate with the external collection device, the extracted water vapor can be conveniently collected and processed;

[0027] 3. The dehumidifying fan sucks the water vapor generated during the drying process in the drying box into the dehumidifying air duct through the ventilation duct. The setting of the diversion arc plate can make the water vapor drawn into the ventilation duct flow along the arc surface of the diversion arc plate to the inside of the dehumidifying air duct. Since the ventilation duct is located inside the dehumidifying air duct and higher than the bottom wall of the dehumidifying air duct, the possibility of the condensed water from the water vapor flowing back into the drying box from the ventilation duct is reduced, further improving the drying effect of the water blocking belt.
