Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of ceramic drying technology, specifically a ceramic printing dryer. Background Technology

[0002] Ceramic printing drying is a crucial step in ceramic production. It involves drying the printed ceramic pieces to ensure the adhesion of the printed design and the overall quality of the ceramic. The drying process ensures that the printed design adheres firmly to the ceramic surface, preventing peeling or blurring during subsequent processing or use. Through drying, moisture is effectively removed from the ceramic body, thereby improving the strength and stability of the ceramic.

[0003] Ceramic printing drying is mostly done through a dryer. Nowadays, most dryers are continuous processes with conveyor drying. Due to the structural limitations of the conveying and feeding equipment, ceramic printing drying equipment is often in an open or poorly sealed state, which causes internal heat to dissipate, reduces the utilization rate of heat energy, and increases energy consumption. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a ceramic printing dryer to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a ceramic printing dryer, comprising:

[0006] Conveyor;

[0007] A drying chamber is placed on top of the conveyor. A partition is provided on one side of the drying chamber. A rotating plate is rotatably connected to the middle of the partition. A support beam is provided for lifting and lowering inside the drying chamber. An electric heating wire is provided in the middle of the support beam.

[0008] The material handling mechanism is located at the top of the drying chamber. The material handling mechanism includes a movable slide rod that is horizontally disposed at the top of the drying chamber. A suction cup for material handling is provided at the bottom of the movable slide rod. A top plate for opening the rotating plate is provided on one side of the movable slide rod. When feeding, the movable slide rod drives the top plate to open the rotating plate, and the suction cup places the ceramic into the drying chamber.

[0009] Preferably, the drying chamber has a plastic strip at the end opposite to the partition to reduce heat loss.

[0010] Preferably, the top of the drying chamber is provided with multiple cylinders, the output ends of which extend into the drying chamber and are fixedly connected to the supporting beam.

[0011] Preferably, the supporting beam has multiple air outlets equidistantly spaced in the middle, the heating wire is fixed to the middle of the air outlet, and a fan is installed on the top of the air outlet.

[0012] Preferably, a cylinder is fixedly connected to the top of the drying chamber, the output end of the cylinder is fixedly connected to the movable slide rod, and a limit rod is fixedly connected to the top of the drying chamber, with the movable slide rod and the limit rod being slidably connected.

[0014] Preferably, a second limiting rod is fixedly connected to the top of the lifting plate, and the second limiting rod is slidably connected to the movable slide rod.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: A plastic strip is provided at the end of the drying chamber away from the partition. These plastic strips are soft and have overlapping edges, effectively reducing heat loss from the inside of the drying chamber, improving heat utilization, and reducing energy consumption. The combined use of heating wire and fan allows for drying of ceramics with hot air, improving drying efficiency and shortening drying time. The cylinder three drives the support beam to adjust its position, allowing for flexible switching for ceramics of different heights, providing strong adaptability and meeting the drying needs of ceramics of different specifications. The design of components such as the sliding rod, lifting plate, and suction cup allows the entire material handling mechanism to move and lift flexibly, facilitating accurate placement of ceramic discs inside the drying chamber. The drying chamber is equipped with a partition and a rotating plate that is closed in its natural state. When loading material, the rotating plate can be opened, effectively preventing excessive heat loss from the inside of the drying chamber. Attached Figure Description

[0022] 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.

[0023] Please see Figure 1 , 2 As shown in Figures 3, 4, and 5, this utility model provides a technical solution: a ceramic printing dryer, comprising: a belt conveyor 1; a drying chamber 2 fixedly connected to the top of the conveyor 1, a partition 12 fixedly connected to one side of the drying chamber 2, a rotating plate 13 rotatably connected to the middle of the partition 12, a supporting beam 14 being raised and lowered inside the drying chamber 2, and an electric heating wire 16 being provided in the middle of the supporting beam 14; a material picking mechanism located at the top of the drying chamber 2, the material picking mechanism comprising a movable slide rod 4 horizontally disposed at the top of the drying chamber 2, a suction cup 9 for picking up material being raised and lowered at the bottom of the movable slide rod 4, the suction cup 9 being a vacuum suction cup equipped with a vacuum generator, and an ejector plate 7 for opening the rotating plate 13 being provided on one side of the movable slide rod 4. When feeding material, the movable slide rod 4 drives the ejector plate 7 to open the rotating plate 13, and the suction cup 9 places the ceramic inside the drying chamber 2.

[0024] It should be noted that this utility model is equipped with a controller and a feeding conveyor. An infrared sensor is provided on one side of the feeding conveyor. The feeding conveyor places the ceramic disc below the suction cup 9. The second cylinder 6 drives the suction cup 9 to move downward to adsorb the ceramic disc and lift it up. Then, the first cylinder 3 drives the moving slide rod 4 to move the ceramic disc into the drying chamber 2. During this period, the ejector plate 7 pushes open the rotating plate 13, so that the rotating plate 13 rotates upward along its top, thereby placing the ceramic disc on the conveyor 1. When the conveyor 1 conveys the ceramic disc forward, the moving slide rod 4 drives the ejector plate 7 to be pulled out of the drying chamber 2. The rotating plate 13 returns to its original position under the action of gravity to prevent the heat inside the drying chamber 2 from being lost too quickly. During the conveying process, the support beam 14 moves downward to bring the heating wire 16 closer, and the heat of the heating wire 16 dries the ceramic disc.

[0025] Please see Figure 1 ,3 As shown, a plastic strip 11 is provided at one end of the drying chamber 2 away from the partition 12 to reduce heat loss.

[0026] It should be noted that the plastic strip 11 of this utility model is a soft plastic support. Multiple plastic strips 11 are provided and their edges overlap each other, which can prevent the heat inside the drying chamber 2 from dissipating. After drying, the ceramic can push open the plastic strip 11 and move out horizontally from one end of the drying chamber 2.

[0027] Please see Figure 1 , 2 As shown in Figure 3, the top of the drying chamber 2 is provided with multiple cylinders 18. The output end of the cylinders 18 extends into the drying chamber 2 and is fixedly connected to the support beam 14. Multiple air outlets 15 are equidistantly opened in the middle of the support beam 14. The heating wire 16 is fixedly connected to the middle of the air outlet 15. A fan 17 is installed on the top of the air outlet 15.

[0028] It should be noted that the cylinder 18 of this utility model drives the support beam 14 to adjust its position, which can be flexibly switched for ceramics of different heights. During drying, the heating wire 16 heats up after being energized, and the fan 17 blows air through the middle of the heating wire 16. The air heated by the heating wire 16 is blown towards the ceramic, thereby drying the ceramic with hot air.

[0029] Please see Figure 1 , 2 As shown in Figure 4, a cylinder 3 is fixedly connected to the top of the drying chamber 2. The output end of the cylinder 3 is fixedly connected to the movable slide rod 4. A limit rod 5 is fixedly connected to the top of the drying chamber 2. The movable slide rod 4 is slidably connected to the limit rod 5. A cylinder 6 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the movable slide rod 4. A lifting plate 8 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the cylinder 6. A suction cup 9 is slidably installed in the middle of the lifting plate 8. A limit rod 10 is fixedly connected to the top of the lifting plate 8. The limit rod 10 is slidably connected to the movable slide rod 4.

[0030] It should be noted that in this utility model, cylinder 3 drives the sliding rod 4 to slide along the limiting rod 5. The sliding rod 4 drives the lifting plate 8 to move above the ceramic plate. Cylinder 6 drives the lifting plate 8 to descend, so that the lifting plate 8 reaches the suction cup 9 and moves downward to contact the ceramic plate. The suction cup 9 adsorbs and fixes the ceramic plate. Cylinder 6 lifts the lifting plate 8. Under the limiting action of the limiting rod 10, the lifting plate 8 rises stably. Cylinder 3 drives the lifting plate 8 to move into the drying chamber 2 through the sliding rod 4. The ejector plate 7 pushes open the rotating plate 13, so that the ceramic plate is placed on the top of the conveyor 1. After placement, the sliding rod 4 drives the ejector plate 7 to reset, and the rotating plate 13 closes downward under the action of gravity.
