Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of drying air knife fans, and in particular to a low-noise drying air knife fan. Background Technology

[0002] Air-knife dryers are undoubtedly one of the most effective tools for drying bottles and cans. They cleverly utilize the wind tunnel effect to improve drying efficiency and dryness.

[0003] The air knife dryer uses a stirring hot air fan and a circulating hot air knife. In addition to taking advantage of the environmental protection and energy saving of hot air circulation, it can directly heat, control the temperature, adjust the air volume and direction, and achieve the effects of hot air drying, heat shrinking and heat treatment faster, more accurately and evenly.

[0004] Drying fans are essential equipment in many industrial applications, primarily used for drying materials. Understanding their parameters and selection calculation methods is crucial when selecting a drying fan to ensure the chosen equipment meets specific drying needs. This article will detail the parameters and selection calculation methods for drying fans.

[0005] Referring to the existing Chinese patent with publication number CN106403574A, a closed-type heating air knife device is disclosed, including an air knife box body. The air knife box body is a box with a knife-shaped structure at the bottom. An air inlet is provided at each of the top 1 / 4 of the air knife box body. The air inlets are connected to a powerful fan through a blower pipe. Three stainless steel heating tubes are fixed inside the cavity of the air knife box body. An internal support plate for supporting the stainless steel heating tubes is provided in the middle of the cavity of the air knife box body. The two ends of the stainless steel heating tubes are fixed by flanges located on both sides of the air knife box body. Flange plates are provided at the connection between the flanges and the two sides of the air knife box body. A slender air knife mouth is provided at the bottom of the air knife box body.

[0047] Operating principle and advantages:

[0048] In use, the external power supply is connected through the connector 24 and the plug hole 25, so that the connector 24 can supply power to the servo motor 5, and the second carbon brush ring 19 can be supplied through the positive and negative cables 23.

[0049] After installation, the second carbon brush ring 19 is supported by the support spring 21, allowing the second carbon brush ring 19 to contact the first carbon brush ring 13. The connecting ring 20 on the second carbon brush ring 19 is movable inside the first engagement groove 14 of the first carbon brush ring 13, achieving contact power supply. That is, when the servo motor 5 is running, it drives the rotating plate 6 and the centrifugal fan blade 7 to rotate. During rotation, due to the contact power supply between the second carbon brush ring 19 and the first carbon brush ring 13, the carbon contact rod 10 can supply power to the first heater 8 and the second heater 9. When the centrifugal fan blade 7 rotates, air is drawn in through the air inlet 4, and then heated by the first heater 8 and the second heater 9, making it easier to control the temperature of the outlet air. Furthermore, the setting of the centrifugal fan blade 7 can effectively reduce operating noise, that is, the air source is changed from the existing high-power, high-noise vortex air pump fan to a low-power, low-noise high-pressure centrifugal fan. At the same time, in order to ensure the temperature of the air source, a heating tube is added inside the air knife, thereby ensuring the air pressure and temperature of the outlet air.

[0050] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
