Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of printing drying equipment, specifically relating to an environmentally friendly printing drying equipment. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of the printing industry, printing drying equipment plays a crucial role in the printing production process. However, existing printing drying equipment often suffers from high energy consumption and pollution emissions, failing to meet current environmental protection requirements. Therefore, the emergence of environmentally friendly printing dryers can effectively reduce energy consumption and pollution emissions. Such printing drying equipment includes a drying chamber, heating device, circulating air system, exhaust system, and control system. A conveyor belt is installed inside the drying chamber for placing printed materials. The heating device uses high-efficiency and energy-saving heating technology to quickly transfer heat to the printed materials. The circulating air system circulates hot air into the drying chamber through internal air ducts, improving drying efficiency. The exhaust system includes filters to filter the emitted gases, reducing pollutant emissions. The control system monitors and controls the operating parameters of the drying equipment, achieving intelligent control. The aforementioned environmentally friendly printing dryer employs high-efficiency and energy-saving heating technology to reduce energy consumption and save energy; the circulating air system improves drying efficiency and shortens drying time; the filters effectively filter pollutants in the emitted gases, reducing pollution emissions; and the control system achieves intelligent control, improving production efficiency and reducing labor costs.

[0003] However, in existing technologies, after printing, the paper is often manually removed and transferred to the drying station. This prevents continuous and smooth paper transport, leading to low production efficiency and potential damage to the paper during transport. Traditional printing platforms may only provide a flat surface for placing the paper, making paper handling more reliant on manual labor, increasing labor intensity and operational difficulty. Consequently, traditional technologies often lack automated material handling mechanisms, or their mechanisms are limited in function, failing to automate the handling process. This results in significant manual intervention in the production process, impacting production efficiency.

[0004] In view of this, we propose an environmentally friendly printing drying equipment to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0029] 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.

[0030] The following combination Figures 1 to 5 This application will be described in further detail.

[0031] This application discloses an environmentally friendly printing drying equipment, including a drying chamber 1, a printing platform 3, and an automatic feeding mechanism 7; the bottom of the drying chamber 1 is provided with a textured conveyor line 2 that runs through it, and the textured conveyor line 2 is used to feed the printing paper 4 into and out of the drying chamber 1 in sequence.

[0032] The drying chamber 1 is mounted on a support frame 8, and the anilox conveyor line 2 is installed on top of the support frame 8. The support frame 8 provides stable support, ensuring that the drying chamber 1 will not shift due to vibration or other external factors during operation, thus guaranteeing the stability of the drying process. The design of the support frame 8 makes better use of space, resulting in a more compact overall equipment structure. The anilox conveyor line 2, installed on top of the support frame 8, facilitates installation and use within limited space. The anilox conveyor line 2, installed on top of the support frame 8, enables the transfer of printed materials, contributing to improved production continuity and automation.

[0033] The drying chamber 1 is equipped with inlet and outlet ports 10 on both sides. The inlet and outlet ports 10 on both sides can realize simultaneous feeding and discharging, thereby increasing the throughput of the equipment and shortening the production cycle. The design of dual inlet and outlet ports 10 can reduce material congestion and make the flow of printing paper 4 in the drying chamber 1 smoother.

[0034] The drying chamber 1 provides a closed drying environment for the printing paper 4. After the printing paper 4 enters the drying chamber 1 through the anilox conveyor 2, the heating system inside the chamber will uniformly heat the printing paper 4 to remove solvents or moisture from the printing ink, thereby accelerating the ink drying process. The drying chamber 1 is usually designed with a temperature control system to ensure temperature stability during the drying process. At the same time, the chamber may also be equipped with an exhaust system to treat and discharge the waste gas generated during the drying process to meet environmental protection requirements.

[0035] The printing platform 3 is used to place the printing paper 4. The printing platform 3 is equipped with a lifting block 6, which is pushed by a cylinder 5 to lift one side of the printing paper 4. The printing platform 3 is a flat surface for placing the printing paper 4 to be dried. The printing paper 4 is temporarily placed on this platform before entering the drying chamber 1. The lifting block 6 on the printing platform 3 is controlled by the cylinder 5 and can lift one side of the printing paper 4 when necessary, facilitating the suction cup of the automatic feeding mechanism 7 for adsorption.

[0036] The bottom four corners of the printing platform 3 are fixedly connected to the mounting platform 12 by four support rods 11. The cylinder 5 is fixed to the bottom of the mounting platform 12, and the piston rod of the cylinder 5 moves through the through hole 9 on the printing platform 3 and the top of the piston rod is fixedly connected to the lifting block 6.

[0037] After the piston rod of cylinder 5 retracts, the lifting block 6 is housed inside the through hole 9, providing clearance for the printing paper 4. Four support rods 11 securely connect the bottom corners of the printing platform 3 to the mounting platform 12, improving the stability of the printing platform 3 and ensuring the smoothness of the printing paper 4 during transportation. The piston rod of cylinder 5 moves through the through hole 9 of the printing platform 3 and is fixedly connected to the lifting block 6, enabling automatic lifting and lowering of the printing paper 4. This high degree of automation reduces manual operation and labor intensity.

[0038] The cylinder 5 is fixed to the bottom of the mounting platform 12. This design facilitates maintenance and replacement of the cylinder 5, and also makes it easy to clean and lubricate the piston rod. When the piston rod of the cylinder 5 retracts, the lifting block 6 is housed inside the through hole 9, providing necessary clearance for the printing paper 4 and avoiding interference between the equipment structure and the printing paper 4. This design reduces potential damage to the printing paper 4 due to equipment structural interference during the printing process, protecting print quality. This design allows the equipment to adapt to printing papers 4 of different thicknesses and hardnesses, enhancing the equipment's applicability and market competitiveness.

[0039] The automatic feeding mechanism 7 is used to pick up the printing paper 4 on the printing platform 3 and place it on the anilox conveyor belt of the anilox conveyor line 2. The function of the automatic feeding mechanism 7 is to automatically pick up the printing paper 4 on the printing platform 3 and place it on the anilox conveyor line 2, ready to enter the drying chamber 1.

[0040] The automatic feeding mechanism 7 includes a longitudinal lead screw linear module 701, a suction cup frame 703 mounted on a movable slide 702 of the longitudinal lead screw linear module 701, and a vacuum suction cup 704 mounted on the suction cup frame 703 and adsorbing and fixing the printing paper 4 from one bottom end.

[0041] The mounting bracket 705 at the bottom of the longitudinal lead screw linear module 701 is fixed on the left side of the bracket 8.

[0042] Fixing the mounting bracket 705 of the longitudinal lead screw linear die to one side of the bracket 8 helps with the overall layout of the equipment and the rational use of space, making the equipment more compact. Fixing to the left side allows for the loading and unloading of printing paper 4 from one side of the machine, and also helps maintenance personnel access the parts requiring maintenance more quickly, reducing maintenance difficulty and improving maintenance efficiency.

[0043] The suction cup holder 703 includes a transverse support plate 706 fixed on the movable slide table 702, two longitudinal support plates 707 installed on the transverse support plate 706, and arc-shaped support pieces 708 respectively installed on the front end of the two longitudinal support plates 707. Two vacuum suction cups 704 are respectively installed and fixed on the front end top of the two arc-shaped support pieces 708.

[0044] Two transverse straight slots 709 are symmetrically opened on the transverse support plate 706, and two longitudinal support plates 707 are provided with longitudinal straight slots 710. The two longitudinal support plates 707 are locked and fixed on the transverse support plate 706 by the cooperation of bolts 711 and nuts 712 that pass through the transverse straight slots 709 and the longitudinal straight slots 710, so as to adjust the position of the two longitudinal support plates.

[0045] The symmetrically arranged transverse straight slots 709 on the transverse support plate 706 and the longitudinal straight slots 710 on the longitudinal support plate 707 allow for adjustment of the position of the two longitudinal support plates 707 via the engagement of bolts 711 and nuts 712. This provides flexibility for adjusting the position of the suction cup to accommodate printing paper 4 of different sizes and shapes. When it is necessary to change the size or type of printing paper 4, the operator can quickly adjust the position of the longitudinal support plates 707 without complicated tools or cumbersome steps, thus saving time and improving production efficiency. The precise engagement of bolts 711 and nuts 712 ensures accurate positioning of the longitudinal support plates 707, improving the positioning accuracy of the feeding mechanism for the printing paper 4.

[0046] The longitudinal lead screw linear module 701 moves the movable slide 702, transferring the printing paper 4 adsorbed by the vacuum suction cup 704 on the printing platform 3 to the anilox conveyor line 2, and then into the drying chamber 1 through the anilox conveyor line 2, thereby realizing the automatic loading and unloading of the printing paper 4.

[0047] This environmentally friendly printing drying equipment provides a closed drying environment for the printing paper 4 through the drying chamber 1. The anilox conveyor line 2 sequentially feeds the printing paper 4 into and out of the drying chamber 1. The inlet and outlet ports 10 on both sides of the drying chamber 1 ensure smoother flow of the printing paper 4 within the chamber, while also increasing the equipment's throughput. This design not only ensures the stability of the drying process and temperature control but also includes an exhaust system to treat waste gas, meeting environmental protection requirements. The anilox conveyor line 2 is installed on top of the support frame 8, which helps improve the continuity and automation of the production process, thereby increasing production efficiency and space utilization.

[0048] The printing platform 3 is used to temporarily hold the printing paper 4 to be dried, and the lifting block 6 controlled by the cylinder 5 lifts one side of the printing paper 4, facilitating the suction cup of the automatic feeding mechanism 7. The stability of the printing platform 3 is ensured by the fixed connection between the four support rods 11 and the mounting platform 12, ensuring the stability of the printing paper 4 during transportation. The piston rod of the cylinder 5 moves through the through hole 9 on the printing platform 3, realizing the automatic lifting and lowering of the printing paper 4, which has a high degree of automation, reduces manual operation, and lowers labor intensity. In addition, when the piston rod of the cylinder 5 retracts, the lifting block 6 is stored inside the through hole 9, providing the necessary clearance for the printing of the printing paper 4, avoiding interference between the equipment structure and the printing paper 4, and protecting the printing quality.

[0049] The automatic feeding mechanism 7 includes a longitudinal lead screw linear module 701, a moving slide 702, a suction cup frame 703, and a vacuum suction cup 704, which can automatically pick up the printing paper 4 from the printing platform 3 and place it on the anilox conveyor line 2. The design of the suction cup frame 703 allows the position of the suction cup to be adjusted by the cooperation of bolts 711 and nuts 712 to accommodate printing paper 4 of different sizes and shapes, improving the applicability and flexibility of the equipment. The movement of the longitudinal lead screw linear module 701 drives the moving slide 702 to move, realizing the automatic picking and placing of printing paper 4, which not only improves production efficiency but also reduces the complexity and labor intensity of manual operation. This precise positioning and efficient picking and placing mechanism provides an automated and intelligent solution for the printing industry.

[0050] 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.
