AI Technical Summary
Existing multi-color carpet production equipment requires heating strips to be turned on for drying when the base fabric is low in humidity, which consumes a lot of energy and has limited effect on improving the coating effect. Furthermore, when the base fabric is high in humidity, the heating strips require a large power, which affects production efficiency.
It adopts a hot air blower with adjustable temperature and air volume, and is equipped with two independent air outlets with adjustable air direction. Combined with fabric humidity detection and dehumidifier, it can accurately heat the spraying area and avoid overheating the undried area. Combined with heating strips, the hot air blower can be used alone when the base fabric humidity is low to reduce energy consumption.
It improves pigment drying speed, reduces energy consumption, enhances the flexibility of hot air blower use, ensures that the spraying effect is not affected, and adapts to production needs under different base fabric humidity conditions.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of carpet production equipment, and in particular to an automatic spray painting device for the production of multi-color carpets. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, an existing device and method for producing multi-color carpets (publication number CN113968082B) uses a printer that extracts paint from a base color paint box based on image information and sprays it onto the base fabric. A moving component drives the printer to move horizontally and vertically, allowing it to move to each area of the base fabric for spraying. The printer automatically sprays the areas of the base fabric that need color, increasing carpet production speed. Furthermore, horizontal and vertical heating strips are installed on the placement plate to dry the base fabric, resulting in better spraying effects. However, due to the high power consumption of the heating strips, when the base fabric's moisture content is low, the energy consumed by activating the heating strips for drying increases significantly, while the improvement in spraying effect is relatively limited. To reduce the energy consumption of the device and respond to energy conservation and emission reduction initiatives, this utility model proposes an automatic inkjet printing device for producing multi-color carpets with better pigment drying effects after spraying. Utility Model Content
[0003] This invention provides an automatic printing device for multi-color carpet production, which can effectively solve the above-mentioned problems.
[0004] This utility model is implemented as follows:
[0005] An automatic printing device for producing multi-color carpets includes a main unit, a placement plate, a moving component, and a printing component that slides on the moving component, and a heating strip disposed on the placement plate;
[0006] The printing assembly includes a printer, a cross laser and a fabric humidity detector on the top of the printer, and a temperature and airflow adjustable hot air blower installed on the side of the printer. The hot air blower has two air outlets, and the airflow direction of the air outlets can be adjusted independently. The main unit is electrically connected to the hot air blower to control its temperature and airflow.
[0007] The two air outlets are arranged horizontally, and each air outlet is provided with at least two vertically placed first air guide plates, the upper and lower ends of which are rotatably connected to the air outlet.
[0008] As a further improvement, the printer and the hot air blower are connected via a lockable universal joint for adjusting the position of the hot air blower.
[0009] As a further improvement, the air outlet is also provided with several horizontally arranged second air guide plates.
[0010] As a further improvement, the hot air blower is also provided with an air inlet, which is located on the side of the hot air blower away from the printer, and the air inlet is provided with a protective cover.
[0011] As a further improvement, a dehumidifier is also included, which is fixed to the printer and positioned above the hot air blower.
[0012] As a further improvement, the hot air blower is also equipped with two sets of rotating mechanisms for driving the first air guide plate to rotate. The rotating mechanism includes a connecting rod and a servo motor, which drives the connecting rod to drive the first air guide plate. The servo motor is electrically connected to the main unit.
[0013] As a further improvement, the hot air blower is also provided with a single-point laser on the surface where the air outlet is located, and the orientation of the single-point laser is opposite to and perpendicular to the surface where the air outlet is located.
[0014] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0015] By placing a hot air blower on one side of the area where the printer has finished spraying, the freshly sprayed pigment is precisely heated and dried, improving the drying speed of the pigment, preventing pigment mixing, and avoiding overheating of other dried areas or areas that do not need drying, thus saving energy. Furthermore, when the base fabric has low humidity, only the hot air blower needs to be turned on, without needing to turn on the heating strip on the substrate, resulting in lower energy consumption. The hot air blower has two air outlets, and the airflow direction can be adjusted independently, improving the flexibility of its use. The temperature and airflow of the hot air blower can be controlled by the main unit, providing great convenience for production. Even when the base fabric has high humidity, the hot air blower and heating strip can be turned on simultaneously, so that the power of the heating strip does not need to be too high during drying. The combined use of the two can reduce energy consumption without affecting the spraying effect. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation
[0024] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this utility model. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model. Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of this utility model provided in the accompanying drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed utility model, but merely to represent selected embodiments of this utility model.
[0025] In the description of this utility model, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of indicated technical features. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of this utility model, "a plurality of" means two or more, unless otherwise explicitly specified.
[0026] Reference Figure 1-5As shown, an automatic printing device for multi-color carpet production includes a main unit 3 for controlling the entire device, a placement plate 5 for placing the base fabric, a moving component 4, and a printing component 2 that slides on the moving component 4. The moving component 4 enables the printing component 2 to move horizontally and vertically. Both the moving component 4 and the printing component 2 are electrically connected to the main unit 3. The placement plate 5 is also equipped with a heating strip. The moving component 4 includes a first slide rail 41 horizontally placed on the front of the placement plate 5 and a support plate 42 that moves on the first slide rail 41. The support plate 42 is also equipped with a second slide rail 43 placed vertically. The second slide rail 43 is equipped with a motor-driven chain. The printing component 2 is connected to the side of the chain. The rotation of the chain drives the printing component 2 to move up and down. The support plate 42 is also equipped with a motor that drives the support plate 42 to slide on the first slide rail 41. Both motors are electrically connected to and controlled by the main unit 3.
[0027] The printing assembly 2 includes a printer 21 and necessary printing components such as a primary color ink cartridge, as well as a telescopic cylinder connecting the primary color ink cartridge and the printer 21. The top of the printer 21 is equipped with a cross laser 7 for checking whether the printer 21 is aligned and a fabric humidity detector 6. To improve the accuracy of the fabric humidity detector 6, a groove can be provided on the placement plate 5 and a small piece of base fabric can be fixed in the groove. A temperature and air volume adjustable hot air blower 1 is installed on the side of the printer 21. The hot air blower 1 has two air outlets 11, and the air direction of the air outlets 11 can be adjusted independently. The main unit 3 is electrically connected to the hot air blower 1 to control its temperature and air volume. The two air outlets 11 are arranged horizontally on the left and right. Each air outlet 11 is equipped with at least two vertically placed first air guide plates 12. The upper and lower ends of the first air guide plates 12 are rotatably connected to the air outlets 11.
[0028] During operation, printer 21 sprays ink onto the base fabric from left to right and from bottom to top. Two air outlets 11 are positioned side-by-side, one near printer 21 and the other away. Their orientation can be independently set. During operation, the area on one side of the hot air blower 1 is the area where ink has been applied. The hot air blower 1 moves together with printer 21 to heat the ink-coated base fabric, accelerating the drying speed of the ink. Furthermore, since the orientation of both air outlets 11 can be adjusted independently, the airflow from the outlet 11 on the side away from printer 21 can be tilted away from printer 21, while the airflow from the outlet 11 on the side near printer 21 is perpendicular to or tilted (less than the airflow from the outlet 11 on the side away from printer 21). The 11-angle setting allows for a larger area of the base fabric surface to be dried by hot air. Due to the influence of different dyes and base fabric materials, the specific angle can be set according to the actual situation. The orientation of the two air outlets 11 can be adjusted independently, which improves the flexibility of the hot air blower 1. Furthermore, the temperature and air volume of the hot air blower 1 can be controlled by the main unit 3. This facilitates the visualization of the parameters of the hot air blower 1 during the production process, accumulates operating experience of the device, and allows for faster adjustment of the device when the base fabric material or dye is changed, so as to achieve better performance. Alternatively, if the effect is found to be poor during machine operation, the hot air blower 1 can be quickly adjusted through the main unit 3 without stopping the machine for adjustment.
[0029] Specifically, the printer 21 is connected to the hot air blower 1 via a lockable universal joint 9, which is used to adjust the position of the hot air blower 1 so that the air outlet 11 can have a larger angle adjustment range and the adjustment is more flexible.
[0030] Specifically, the air outlet 11 is also equipped with four horizontally arranged second air guide plates 14, which are used to adjust the orientation of the air outlet 11 in the vertical direction. When encountering ink that dries slowly, the second air guide plates 14 are tilted and rotated upward, so that the air outlet 11 tilts upward, giving the undried ink an upward blowing force to prevent it from sliding down, and can also heat and dry the base fabric in the unprinted area above.
[0031] Specifically, the hot air blower 1 is also provided with an air inlet 13. The air inlet 13 is located on the side of the hot air blower 1 away from the printer 21, and the air inlet 13 is provided with a protective cover to prevent the hot air blower 1 from sucking in impurities and blowing the impurities onto the base fabric.
[0032] Specifically, it also includes a dehumidifier 8, which is fixed to the printer 21 and positioned above the hot air blower 1, for collecting the water vapor evaporated from the pigment.
[0033] Specifically, the hot air blower 1 is also equipped with two sets of rotating mechanisms to drive the first air guide plate 12 to rotate. The rotating mechanism includes a connecting rod and a servo motor 15. The servo motor 15 drives the connecting rod to drive the first air guide plate 12. The servo motor 15 is electrically connected to the host 3. When the machine is found to have poor performance during operation, the hot air blower 1 can be quickly adjusted through the host 3 without stopping the machine for adjustment.
[0034] Specifically, the hot air blower 1 is also provided with a single-point laser on the surface where the air outlet 11 is located. The direction of the single-point laser is opposite to and perpendicular to the surface where the air outlet 11 is located. By observing the position of the single-point laser on the base fabric, the position of the hot air blower 1 when adjusted by the universal joint 9 can be better seen.
[0035] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Various modifications and variations can be made to this utility model by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
