Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of ink printing technology, and in particular to a rapid drying device for printing inks. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, printing involves transferring ink from original manuscripts such as text, pictures, photographs, and anti-counterfeiting materials to the surface of materials like paper, paper products, plastics, and leather through processes such as plate making, inking, and pressure application. This allows for the mass reproduction of the original content. After printing, the printed materials need to be dried using a printing drying device. There are generally two methods for drying ink: natural drying and artificial drying. Natural drying relies on air circulation and temperature changes to allow the solvent in the ink to gradually evaporate, thus solidifying the ink. Artificial drying uses various equipment to accelerate the ink drying process, with hot air drying being a common method.
[0003] Several problems exist in existing printing ink drying methods. For example, in some small printing workshops, direct airflow onto the surface of the printed material is often used for drying. While this method can accelerate ink drying to some extent, it also has significant drawbacks. In actual production, when a hot air blower directly onto the surface of the printed material, the concentrated blowing of hot air can easily lead to localized overheating. Localized overheating causes uneven heating of the paper, resulting in problems such as curling edges and deformation, seriously affecting the quality of the printed material. Moreover, direct airflow onto the surface often makes it difficult to ensure that both sides of the printed material are heated evenly. In some cases, one side may dry faster than the other, which also affects the overall quality of the printed material. Therefore, this art proposes a rapid drying device for printing inks to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content
[0004] To overcome the above shortcomings, this utility model provides a rapid drying device for printing inks, which aims to improve the problem of damage to the printed matter caused by direct air blowing on the product in the prior art printing drying equipment.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a rapid drying device for printing ink, comprising a processing table and a smoke removal assembly, wherein a fixed box is fixedly connected to the top of the processing table, the smoke removal assembly is disposed inside the fixed box, two linear modules are installed on the inner side of the fixed box, guide frames are fixedly connected to the movable seats of the two linear modules, and a drying assembly is disposed inside the fixed box, the drying assembly being used to dry the ink on the printed matter;
[0006] The drying assembly includes two connecting plates and a dryer. The two connecting plates are fixedly connected to the outer sides of the guide frame, and the dryer is installed on the top of the two connecting plates. Two sliding columns are slidably connected inside the guide frame. A limiting plate is fixedly connected to the top of the sliding column. Two fixing blocks are fixedly connected to the outer side of the dryer. Multiple limiting grooves are opened on the outer side of the fixing blocks. A U-shaped plate is fixedly connected to the bottom of the sliding column, and a return spring is sleeved on the outside of the sliding column.
[0007] Furthermore, the outer side of the limiting plate engages with the inner side of one of the limiting grooves, and the outer side of the U-shaped plate is slidably connected to the inner side of the guide frame.
[0008] Furthermore, one end of the reset spring is fixedly connected to the inner side of the guide frame, and the other end of the reset spring is fixedly connected to the top of the U-shaped plate.
[0009] Furthermore, the smoke removal assembly includes a filter box, which is fixedly connected to the outside of the dryer, and an exhaust fan is installed on the top of the filter box.
[0010] Furthermore, the bottom of the filter box is fixedly connected to two connecting pipes, one end of which penetrates the inner wall of the connecting plate and the guide frame and is fixedly connected to an exhaust fan.
[0011] Furthermore, two spring telescopic rods are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the filter box, and a push plate is fixedly connected to one end of each spring telescopic rod.
[0012] Furthermore, an activated carbon mesh is slidably connected to the inner side of the filter box, and one side of the push plate is attached to one side of the activated carbon mesh.
[0013] Furthermore, a rotating block is rotatably connected to the outside of the filter box, and the outside of the rotating block is in contact with the outside of the activated carbon mesh.
[0014] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0015] 1. In this utility model, after the U-shaped plate is moved to a suitable height by rotating the limiting plate, the two linear modules are started, the guide frame and the dryer move. During the movement, hot air can blow back and forth on the side of the printed matter. Compared with blowing air directly onto the surface of the printed matter, this method can more effectively ensure that the front and back of the printed matter are heated evenly, avoid local overheating, and thus prevent the paper printed matter from curling at the edges due to local overheating.
[0016] 2. In this utility model, by starting the exhaust fan, the gas is quickly drawn from the exhaust duct into the filter box for purification. Furthermore, by turning the rotating block, the activated carbon mesh can be quickly replaced, ensuring that the entire device can effectively absorb irritating gases for a long time. This enables the timely absorption of irritating gases when drying printed materials, effectively preventing the gases from evaporating into the air and creating a good working environment for the staff.

Detailed Implementation
[0024] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0025] Reference Figures 1-3This utility model provides an embodiment of a rapid drying device for printing ink, comprising a processing table 1 and a smoke removal assembly. A fixed box 2 is fixedly connected to the top of the processing table 1, providing stable support and a mounting foundation for the entire device. The smoke removal assembly is located inside the fixed box 2 and is responsible for handling the irritating odor generated during the drying process. Two linear modules 3 are installed inside the fixed box 2. The linear modules 3 are characterized by high precision and high stability, enabling precise linear motion. Guide frames 4 are fixedly connected to the moving seats of the two linear modules 3, guiding the flow of hot air during the drying process. A drying assembly is located inside the fixed box 2, used to rapidly dry the ink on the printed matter. The drying assembly includes two connecting plates 5 and a dryer 10. The two connecting plates 5 are fixedly connected to the outer sides of the guide frame 4, providing a stable mounting position for the dryer 10. The dryer 10 is installed on top of the two connecting plates 5 and is the core equipment in the drying process, generating hot air to dry the printed matter. Two sliding columns 6 are slidably connected inside the guide frame 4, allowing them to slide up and down within the guide frame 4. A limiting plate 7 is fixedly connected to the top of the sliding column 6, which limits the position of the sliding column 6. Two fixing blocks 8 are fixedly connected to the outside of the dryer 10, and multiple limiting grooves 9 are opened on the outside of the fixing blocks 8. A U-shaped plate 11 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the sliding column 6, and the U-shaped plate 11 is slidably connected to the inside of the guide frame 4 to ensure the stable movement of the sliding column 6. A return spring 12 is sleeved on the outside of the sliding column 6. One end of the return spring 12 is fixedly connected to the inside of the guide frame 4, and the other end of the return spring 12 is fixedly connected to the top of the U-shaped plate 11. When the position of the sliding column 6 is adjusted, the return spring 12 can provide a certain elastic buffer. The outside of the limiting plate 7 is engaged with the inside of one of the limiting grooves 9. By rotating the limiting plate 7, it can be engaged with different limiting grooves 9, thereby adjusting the flow height of the hot air channel to accommodate printed materials of different thicknesses.
[0026] Specifically, the printed material is carefully inserted into the interior of the fixed box 2 through the gap at the bottom. Next, the dryer 10 is started, and it begins to operate and blow out hot air. At this time, the guide frame 4 and the two connecting plates 5 together form a specific area. The hot air is diverted from the top of the guide frame 4 and then flows slowly along the channel formed by the guide frame 4, the connecting plates 5, and the inner wall of the fixed box 2. During this process, the limiting plate 7 is rotated according to the actual thickness of the printed material, separating it from the current limiting groove 9. While rotating the limiting plate 7, the U-shaped plate 11 is moved to the appropriate height. After adjusting to the appropriate position, the limiting plate 7 is rotated again to precisely engage with the other limiting groove 9. Through this series of operations, the flow path of the hot air can be adjusted to the most suitable height. In this way, the hot air can blow from the side of the printed material, ensuring that both the top and bottom surfaces of the printed material are fully exposed to the airflow. Next, the two linear modules 3 are activated, and they begin to operate, moving the guide frame 4 and the dryer 10. During this movement, hot air is circulated back and forth over the printed material. Compared to blowing air directly onto the surface of the printed material, this method more effectively ensures uniform heating and avoids localized overheating, thus preventing the paper from curling at the edges due to localized overheating.
[0027] Reference Figures 3-5 The smoke removal assembly includes a filter box 13, which is fixedly connected to the outside of the dryer 10, providing a mounting position for components such as the exhaust fan 14 and activated carbon mesh 18. The exhaust fan 14 is installed on the top of the filter box 13, serving as a power source to draw in irritating odors generated during the drying process for treatment. Two connecting pipes 15 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the filter box 13, one end of which passes through the inner wall of the connecting plate 5 and the guide frame 4 and is fixedly connected to an exhaust hopper 16, which can more effectively collect irritating odors. Two spring-loaded telescopic rods 19 are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the filter box 13. These spring-loaded telescopic rods 19 are elastic and can switch between compressed and extended states. A push plate 20 is fixedly connected to one end of each spring-loaded telescopic rod 19, which is used to push the activated carbon mesh 18. The activated carbon mesh 18 is slidably connected to the inner side of the filter box 13, and the activated carbon mesh 18 can absorb and purify irritating odors. One side of the push plate 20 is attached to one side of the activated carbon mesh 18 to ensure stable installation of the activated carbon mesh 18. A rotating block 17 is rotatably connected to the outside of the filter box 13. The outside of the rotating block 17 is attached to the outside of the activated carbon mesh 18 to limit the position of the activated carbon mesh 18.
[0028] Specifically, during the drying process, the ink evaporates rapidly, producing a pungent odor. In this case, the exhaust fan 14 is activated. Once the exhaust fan 14 starts working, the gas is quickly drawn in from the exhaust duct 16. Then, the gas is transported through the connecting pipe 15 to the interior of the filter box 13. After entering the filter box 13, the gas is fully absorbed and purified by the activated carbon mesh 18. After being processed by the activated carbon mesh 18, the gas is finally discharged as odorless gas from the exhaust port of the exhaust fan 14. Furthermore, when the activated carbon mesh 18 needs to be replaced, the rotating block 17 is rotated. At this time, the elasticity of the spring telescopic rod 19 quickly takes effect, rapidly pushing the activated carbon mesh 18 out. This allows for quick replacement of the activated carbon mesh 18. In this way, during the drying of printed materials, pungent gases are absorbed promptly, effectively preventing the gases from evaporating into the air and creating a good working environment for the staff.
[0029] Working principle: First, the printed material is placed on top of the processing table 1 and inserted into the interior of the fixed box 2 through the gap at the bottom of the fixed box 2. Then, the dryer 10 is started to blow hot air. The guide frame 4 and the two connecting plates 5 will form an area. The hot air will flow from the top of the guide frame 4 and then flow through the channel formed by the guide frame 4, the connecting plates 5 and the inner wall of the fixed box 2. According to the thickness of the printed material, the limiting plate 7 is rotated to separate it from the limiting groove 9, and the U-shaped plate 11 is moved to a suitable height. Then, the limiting plate 7 is rotated again to engage with the other limiting groove 9. In this way, the flow channel of hot air is adjusted to a suitable height, so that air can be blown from the side of the printed material, so that the top and bottom are both blown. Then, the two linear modules 3 are started so that the hot air can blow back and forth on the printed material. Compared with blowing directly on the surface of the printed material, it can ensure that the material is heated evenly and avoid local overheating that causes the paper to curl.
[0030] In addition, the ink evaporates rapidly during the drying process, producing an irritating odor. At this time, starting the exhaust fan 14 allows the gas to be drawn in from the exhaust duct 16, then transported through the connecting pipe 15 to the inside of the filter box 13 where it is absorbed and purified by the activated carbon mesh 18. Finally, the gas becomes odorless and is discharged from the exhaust port of the exhaust fan 14. Furthermore, after rotating the rotating block 17, the elastic force of the spring telescopic rod 19 can quickly push out the activated carbon mesh 18, allowing for quick replacement of the activated carbon mesh 18. This achieves timely absorption of irritating gases during the drying of printed materials, preventing the gases from evaporating into the air.
[0031] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
