The structural form, air outlet speed, air volume, air outlet direction, air return mode, etc. of the air nozzles will have a great influence on the drying rate and drying effect. The air nozzles currently in use generally have an air outlet direction perpendicular to the substrate, resulting in uneven air flow at different positions of the substrate, uneven heating, and low drying rate and drying effect.
