Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of curing technology, specifically a rapid drying and curing mechanism for green printing equipment. Background Technology
[0002] Existing printing equipment typically contains two different types of lamps: UV curing lamps and mercury lamps. These two lamps are used in different ways. When printing thicker coatings or difficult-to-dry inks, incomplete drying may occur. Because mercury lamps generate more heat, they can achieve rapid drying, and in such cases, mercury lamps are used for quick drying.
[0003] In order to ensure that the mercury lamp can work properly, the existing green printing equipment's rapid drying and curing mechanism adds an extra heat dissipation mechanism to cool the mercury lamp. After cooling the mercury lamp, the hot air is directly exhausted without being utilized, which affects the energy utilization rate. Utility Model Content
[0004] Based on this, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a rapid drying and curing mechanism for green printing equipment, so as to solve the technical problem that the hot air after cooling the mercury lamp is directly discharged without being utilized, which affects the energy utilization rate.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a rapid drying and curing mechanism for green printing equipment, comprising a conveyor belt, a screen printing mechanism disposed above the conveyor belt, a rapid drying and curing component disposed on one side of the screen printing mechanism, the rapid drying and curing component being connected to a lampshade mechanism via an air duct, the lampshade mechanism comprising a lampshade housing, the interior of the lampshade housing being divided into an air inlet space and an air outlet space by a partition plate, ventilation holes being disposed on the inner walls of both the air inlet space and the air outlet space, the ventilation holes being horizontally arranged, and one end of the air outlet space being connected to an air outlet hood via a pipe.
[0006] By adopting the above technical solution, and integrating the conveyor belt, screen printing mechanism and rapid drying and curing components, continuous production from printing to drying is achieved, greatly shortening the production cycle.
[0007] Furthermore, the rapid drying and curing assembly includes a housing, and a mounting bracket is fixedly connected inside the housing.
[0008] By adopting the above technical solutions, the enclosure and mounting rack make the various components of the rapid drying and curing assembly more modular, facilitating disassembly and maintenance, and improving the adaptability and installation speed of the equipment.
[0009] Furthermore, a fan is fixedly connected to the top of the housing, and the air outlet of the fan is connected to an air distribution chamber.
[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, the fan introduces external air into the air intake space through the air distribution chamber, effectively dissipating heat from the UV curing lamp and mercury lamp, and providing a reliable initial airflow.
[0011] Furthermore, two air ducts are fixedly connected to the bottom of the air distribution chamber, and one end of each air duct is connected to the air inlet space.
[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, air is directly introduced into the air intake space through the air duct, avoiding complex pipe connections and improving the reliability of the device.
[0013] Furthermore, crossbars are fixedly connected to the top two sides of the lampshade housing, and the crossbars are used to install the lampshade housing onto the mounting bracket.
[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, the crossbar enables the lampshade mechanism to be quickly installed on the mounting bracket, and also facilitates disassembly and replacement.
[0015] Furthermore, the lampshade mechanism is provided in two parts, one of which has a UV curing lamp inside the lampshade housing, and the other has a mercury lamp inside the lampshade housing.
[0016] By adopting the above technical solution and simultaneously setting UV curing lamps and mercury lamps, rapid drying and curing of various printed materials can be achieved, improving the adaptability of the device.
[0017] Furthermore, the air outlet hood has an arc-shaped structure, and several air outlets are provided at the bottom of the air outlet hood, with the air outlets being vertically arranged.
[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, the arc-shaped air outlet hood allows hot air to be evenly distributed on the printed matter, improving the preheating effect.
[0019] Furthermore, a fan is fixedly connected to one side of the lampshade housing, and the fan is used to increase the air intake.
[0020] By adopting the above technical solution and adding a fan, the air intake can be further increased, thereby enhancing the heat dissipation effect on the UV curing lamp and mercury lamp.
[0021] In summary, the present invention has the following main advantages:
[0022] 1. This utility model, by setting up a conveyor belt, a screen printing mechanism, and a rapid drying and curing component, enables the screen printing mechanism to accurately transfer ink to the material to be printed, achieving high-precision pattern and text printing. The rapid drying and curing component can reduce energy consumption while ensuring drying effect. By preheating the printed material with hot air flowing out of the exhaust hood, the printed material has reached a certain temperature before entering the irradiation range of the UV curing lamp or mercury lamp, which not only accelerates the drying and curing speed but also improves energy utilization. By redirecting the originally wasted hot air back to preheat the printed material, the equipment achieves effective heat recovery and reuse, significantly improving the overall energy utilization efficiency, reducing the dependence on additional heat dissipation mechanisms, simplifying the equipment structure, and reducing energy consumption and maintenance costs.
[0023] 2. This utility model, by setting up a lampshade mechanism, a lampshade shell, a partition plate, an air inlet space, and an air outlet space, divides the internal space of the lampshade shell into an air inlet space and an air outlet space, so that the air can form a circulation flow inside the lampshade, effectively carrying away the heat generated by the light source, ensuring the stable operation of the light source and extending its service life. The lampshade mechanism can be easily installed and disassembled, allowing the equipment to be flexibly adjusted according to different printing needs and light source types.

[0031] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.
[0032] The embodiments of this utility model will be described below based on its overall structure.
[0033] Example 1:
[0034] A green printing equipment with a rapid drying and curing mechanism, such as Figures 1-6 As shown, the device includes a conveyor belt 1, a screen printing mechanism 2 above the conveyor belt 1, a rapid drying and curing component 3 on one side of the screen printing mechanism 2, and a lampshade mechanism 4 connected to the rapid drying and curing component 3 via an air duct 305. The lampshade mechanism 4 includes a lampshade housing 401, the interior of which is divided into an air inlet space 403 and an air outlet space 404 by a partition plate 402. Ventilation holes 409 are provided on the inner walls of both the air inlet space 403 and the air outlet space 404. The ventilation holes 409 are horizontally arranged. One end of the air outlet space 404 is connected to an air outlet cover 406 via a pipe 405. The lampshade mechanism 4 enables the effective use of hot air, avoiding the waste of heat energy in traditional equipment. The partition plate 402 divides the interior of the lampshade mechanism 4 into an air inlet space 403 and an air outlet space 404, ensuring the stability of the airflow process.
[0035] See Figure 3 , Figure 4 The rapid drying and curing component 3 includes a housing 301, and a mounting bracket 302 is fixedly connected inside the housing 301. Through the mounting bracket 302, components such as the lampshade mechanism 4 can be quickly installed, saving installation time, and the installation position can be adjusted to meet different needs.
[0036] See Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 A fan 303 is fixedly connected to the top of the housing 301. The air outlet of the fan 303 is connected to the air distribution chamber 304. The air distribution chamber 304 enables the air to be evenly distributed to each lamp cover mechanism 4, ensuring the uniformity of heat dissipation.
[0037] See Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5Two air ducts 305 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the air distribution chamber 304. One end of the air duct 305 is connected to the air intake space 403. The air duct 305 allows air to enter the air intake space 403 quickly, improving heat dissipation efficiency and ensuring that the air force can reliably carry out heat dissipation operation.
[0038] See Figure 3 , Figure 4 A crossbar 407 is fixedly connected to the top two sides of the lampshade housing 401. The crossbar 407 is used to install the lampshade housing 401 onto the mounting bracket 302. By adjusting the position of the crossbar 407, the position and height of the lampshade mechanism 4 can be flexibly adjusted to adapt to different production needs.
[0039] See Figure 3 , Figure 4 There are two lampshade mechanisms 4. One lampshade mechanism 4 has a UV curing lamp inside its lampshade housing 401, and the other lampshade mechanism 4 has a mercury lamp inside its lampshade housing 401. Depending on production needs, the UV curing lamp or the mercury lamp can be flexibly selected to adapt to different printing materials and process requirements, thereby expanding the application scenarios of the equipment.
[0040] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 4 The air hood 406 has an arc-shaped structure, and several air outlets 408 are opened at the bottom of the air hood 406. The air outlets 408 are vertically arranged, which allows hot air to be blown directly onto the printed matter, avoiding the waste of heat energy and enhancing the preheating effect.
[0041] The implementation principle of this utility model is as follows: First, the conveyor belt 1 is started to transport the printed material to the designated position, and the screen printing mechanism 2 prints the material to complete the printing of patterns or text.
[0042] The mercury lamp and UV curing lamp are turned on as needed to start working. The fan 303 is started, and the outside air is introduced into the air distribution chamber 304 through the air duct 305. According to the opening and closing status of the valve on the air outlet duct 305 of the air distribution chamber 304, the air enters the air inlet space 403 of the different lamp cover mechanism 4. The air entering the air inlet space 403 flows through the mercury lamp and UV curing lamp. When the air flows through the lamps, it effectively dissipates heat from the mercury lamp and UV curing lamp, ensuring that the lamps work stably at normal temperature and extending their service life. The hot air enters the air outlet space 404 and flows into the duct 405, and finally enters the air outlet cover 406 through the duct 405.
[0043] The air hood 406 has an arc-shaped structure and multiple vertically arranged air outlets 408 at the bottom, which allows hot air to flow downwards evenly. The hot air flowing out from the air hood 406 preheats the printed matter, so that the printed matter has reached a certain temperature before entering the irradiation range of the UV curing lamp or mercury lamp.
[0044] Example 2:
[0045] See Figure 4 , Figure 5 A fan 5 is fixedly connected to one side of the lampshade housing 401. The fan 5 is used to increase the air intake. The addition of the fan 5 enables the equipment to reach a stable working state more quickly, improves production efficiency, and also increases the air volume of the exhaust hood 406, further enhancing the preheating effect.
[0046] The implementation principle of this utility model is as follows: First, the fan 5 can provide additional suction, which can increase the airflow into the exhaust space 404, thereby improving the heat dissipation effect and increasing the air volume of the exhaust shroud 406.
[0047] All parts not covered in this utility model are the same as or can be implemented using existing technologies, and will not be described in detail here.
