Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to a drying device, specifically a drying device for a color-fixing agent, and belongs to the field of color-fixing agent processing technology. Background Technology
[0002] Fixing agent is an auxiliary agent used to improve the color fastness of dyes on fabrics during wet treatment. It can form insoluble colored substances with dyes, thereby improving the color fastness to washing and perspiration. Freshly processed fixing agent contains a lot of water, and too much water will affect the effect of the fixing agent. Therefore, the fixing agent needs to be dried.
[0003] However, traditional methods of drying color-fixing agents usually involve natural air drying, which is not only greatly affected by environmental factors (such as humidity and temperature), but also takes a long time, making it impossible to meet the needs of large-scale production. Furthermore, it is difficult to dry the color-fixing agent evenly, resulting in unstable drying quality. Over-drying in some areas may affect its performance, while under-drying in some areas may leave too much moisture, affecting its storage and use.
[0004] To address these issues, we provide a drying apparatus for a color-fixing agent. Utility Model Content
[0005] To solve the above problems, this utility model provides a drying device for a color-fixing agent, and the specific technical solution is as follows:

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0015] 1. The drying device for this color-fixing agent is equipped with a heating rod. When the heating rod is activated, it generates heat, thereby rapidly raising the temperature inside the drying tube and causing the moisture in the color-fixing agent to evaporate quickly. An air inlet pipe and an air outlet pipe are also included. A fan in the air inlet pipe injects air into the drying tube, and a fan in the air outlet pipe draws air out of the drying tube, creating airflow within the drying tube to carry away the evaporated moisture from the color-fixing agent. A central rod and spiral stirring blades are also included. A drive motor rotates the central rod, causing the spiral stirring blades to agitate the color-fixing agent, ensuring uniform heating and achieving efficient and uniform drying of the color-fixing agent, significantly shortening the drying time.
[0016] 2. The drying device for the color-fixing agent has a dehumidifying plate installed in the air inlet pipe. The dehumidifying plate can absorb moisture in the air, thereby preventing moisture in the environment from entering the drying pipe. A sealing plate is installed in the feed pipe. After the color-fixing agent is added, the No. 1 electric push rod is started to move the sealing plate, thereby sealing the feed pipe and preventing external dust and moisture from entering the drying pipe through the feed pipe.

[0023] The present invention will now be further described with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0024] Please see Figure 1 — Figure 5 The system includes a drying tube 1, which is inclined and has a heating rod 2 connected inside. When energized, the heating rod 2 generates heat, which in turn heats the drying tube 1, causing the moisture in the fixing agent to evaporate rapidly. The drying tube 1 has a multi-layered structure, including an outer layer 101 and an inner layer 102. The outer layer 101 is made of a high-strength, corrosion-resistant alloy to ensure the structural strength of the drying tube 1. The inner layer 102 is made of a thermally conductive, corrosion-resistant alloy to facilitate the transfer of heat generated by the heating rod 2 to the drying tube. Inside the tube 1, the inner wall of the inner layer 102 is smooth and coated with a hydrophobic coating to reduce the adhesion of the fixing agent to the inner wall of the drying tube 1, thereby facilitating the flow of the fixing agent and making it easier to discharge. The inner wall of the outer layer 101 is provided with a heat insulation layer 103, which is filled with heat insulation cotton. It is used to reduce the heat generated by the heating rod 2 to be transferred to the outside, thereby improving the heat utilization efficiency and thus improving the drying efficiency of the fixing agent. A gap is provided between the heat insulation layer 103 and the inner layer 102, and the heating rod 2 is located in the gap.
[0025] A central rod 3 is rotatably connected inside the drying tube 1, and a spiral stirring blade 4 is connected to the outer end of the central rod 3. The spiral stirring blade 4 does not contact the inner wall of the drying tube 1 to avoid scratching it. A drive motor 5 is connected to the side end of the drying tube 1, and the drive end of the drive motor 5 is connected to the central rod 3. A sealing sleeve 12 is connected to the side end of the drying tube 1, and the central rod 3 is rotatably connected inside the sealing sleeve 12. The sealing sleeve 12 is used to improve the sealing between the central rod 3 and the drying tube 1, thereby preventing the fixing agent from leaking out from the connection gap. A fixing frame 13 is connected to the side end of the drying tube 1, and the drive motor 5 is connected inside the fixing frame 13. The fixing frame 13 is used to support and fix the drive motor 5. When the drive motor 5 is started, it will drive the central rod 3 to rotate, thereby driving the spiral stirring blade 4 to rotate, thus stirring the fixing agent in the drying tube 1, so that it is heated evenly and dried evenly.
[0026] The upper end of the drying pipe 1 is connected to an air inlet pipe 6 and an air outlet pipe 7. Dust filter screens are installed on the sides of both the air inlet pipe 6 and the air outlet pipe 7. The dust filter screens are used to filter external dust and prevent dust from contaminating the fixing agent. Fans 8 are installed in both the air inlet pipe 6 and the air outlet pipe 7. The fan 8 in the air inlet pipe 6 blows air into the drying pipe 1, and the fan 8 in the air outlet pipe 7 draws air from the drying pipe 1. This allows the air in the drying pipe 1 to circulate, thereby carrying the water vapor generated by the fixing agent. A dehumidifying plate 9 is installed in the air inlet pipe 6. The dehumidifying plate 9 can absorb water vapor in the air. A mounting frame 14 is installed in the air inlet pipe 6. The dehumidifying plate 9 is connected in the mounting frame 14. The mounting frame 14 is used to fix the dehumidifying plate 9. Multiple ventilation holes are opened in the dehumidifying plate 9.
[0027] A smart controller 10 is connected to the upper end of the drying tube 1, and a temperature sensor 11 is connected inside the drying tube 1. The temperature sensor 11 is used to detect the temperature inside the drying tube 1. The smart controller 10 can adjust the power of the heating rod 2 according to the value of the temperature sensor 11, so that the drying tube 1 is always at the optimal temperature.
[0028] A feed pipe 15 is connected to the upper end of the drying tube 1. A sealing plate 16 is slidably connected inside the feed pipe 15. Electric push rods 17 are connected to both sides of the feed pipe 15. The driving end of the electric push rod 17 is connected to the sealing plate 16. The electric push rod 17 can drive the sealing plate 16 to move, thereby sealing the feed pipe 15 and preventing external dust and moisture from entering the drying tube 1 through the feed pipe 15. A discharge port 18 is opened on the side of the drying tube 1. A valve plate 19 is connected to the outer end of the discharge port 18. A second electric push rod 20 is connected to the side of the drying tube 1. The driving end of the second electric push rod 20 is connected to the valve plate 19. The second electric push rod 20 is used to drive the valve plate 19 to move, thereby opening and closing the discharge port 18. A support frame 21 is connected to the lower end of the drying tube 1. The support frame 21 is used to support and fix the drying tube 1.
