Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of printing equipment technology, specifically a hot air drying type single-column printing machine. Background Technology

[0002] Gravure printing, also known as intaglio printing, involves printing patterns and text that are recessed into the printing plate. During printing, the ink on the non-printing surfaces of the plate is first scraped clean. Then, rollers on the printing press apply appropriate pressure to the workpiece placed on the plate, forcing the ink from the recessed areas into the workpiece, thus achieving the printing effect. A printing press using gravure printing is called a gravure printing press. Gravure printing presses are categorized by the type of paper used: sheet-fed and roll-fed gravure presses. Sheet-fed gravure presses are also called single-sheet gravure presses. Currently, after production using a single-sheet gravure press, the workpiece surface needs to be dried on the press, significantly increasing time and costs.

[0003] Chinese utility model patent CN213861354U discloses a hot air drying device for a single-cavity concave machine, including a base and a single-cavity concave machine. The single-cavity concave machine is placed on the upper wall of the base, and a hot air drying structure is provided on one side of the upper wall of the base. The hot air drying structure includes: a drying chamber, a conveyor belt, an electric push rod, a base plate, a pair of identical support plates, several identical placement plates, several identical telescopic rods, a motor, a fan, several identical electric heating tubes, and an automatic door. The drying chamber is installed on the upper wall of the base, located on the right side of the single-cavity concave machine. A rectangular groove is formed on the left wall of the drying chamber. The conveyor belt is installed on the upper wall of the base. This utility model relates to the field of hot air drying technology for single-cavity concave machines, solving the problem that after production on a single-cavity concave machine, the surface of the workpiece needs to be dried on the machine, which greatly increases time costs.

[0004] During use, this device requires separate installation of a single-cavity drying machine and a drying unit. Furthermore, the finished products on the side closer to the heating element inside the drying chamber are not dried to the same degree as those on the side farther away from the heating element, resulting in uneven drying and inconsistent product quality.

[0026] 1. This hot air drying single-concave printing machine opens a heating channel inside the pressure plate and installs heating wires in the channel. At the same time, an air pump draws in air through the air inlet pipe and sends it into the heating channel through the exhaust pipe. The heating wires heat the air in the channel, realizing hot air drying of the imprinting material under the pressure plate.

[0039] Example 1:

[0040] This embodiment provides a hot air drying type single concave machine, which has the following technical features.

[0041] Please see Figure 1-6 A hot air drying type single-cavity drying machine includes a mounting plate 100 and a single-cavity drying machine housing 200. The single-cavity drying machine housing 200 is fixedly mounted on the mounting plate 100. A cylinder 210 is fixedly installed on the top of the single-cavity drying machine housing 200. The output shaft of the cylinder 210 passes through the single-cavity drying machine housing 200 and is fixedly connected to a pressure plate 220 inside the single-cavity drying machine housing 200. A drying mechanism 400 is also provided on the single-cavity drying machine housing 200. The drying mechanism 400 includes:

[0042] Heating channel 410 is opened inside pressure plate 220. Air inlet 411 and air outlet 412 are opened on both sides of pressure plate 220. The two ends of heating channel 410 are connected to air inlet 411 and air outlet 412.

[0043] Heating wire 420 is disposed within heating channel 410;

[0044] An air pump 440 is fixedly mounted on a pressure plate 220. An air inlet pipe 441 and an exhaust pipe 442 are fixedly connected to the air pump 440. The exhaust pipe 442 is connected to the air inlet 411.

[0045] The controller 450 is fixedly mounted on the single concave housing 200, and the controller 450 is electrically connected to the heating wire 420.

[0046] Furthermore, a conveying mechanism 300 is fixedly mounted on the mounting plate 100, the conveying mechanism 300 including:

[0047] The support frame 310 is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the mounting plate 100 on both sides of the single concave housing 200;

[0048] Motor 320 is fixedly mounted on the outside of one of the support frames 310;

[0049] The transmission roller 330 is rotatably mounted on two support frames 310, and one of the transmission rollers 330 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the motor 320;

[0050] The conveyor belt 340, with its drive unit mounted on two drive rollers 330, is used to convey the embossing material.

[0051] It should be noted that the surface of the conveyor belt 340 that comes into contact with the paper can be made of an adhesive material, or the width of the conveyor belt 340 can be made larger than the width of the pressure plate 220. In this way, clamps (not shown in the figure) can be provided on the two edges of the conveyor belt 340. The paper can be fixed to the surface of the conveyor belt 340 by the clamps, so that the paper will not move when the pressure plate 220 prints on the paper, thus making the paper print smoothly.

[0052] Furthermore, the single concave machine housing 200 has a feed inlet 201 and a discharge outlet 202 on both sides, an air inlet 411 is located on the side of the pressure plate 220 near the feed inlet 201, and the air outlet 412 is inclined toward the upper surface of the conveyor belt 340.

[0053] It should be noted that the air inlet 411 is located on the side of the pressure plate 220 near the feed port 201 on the single-coil machine housing 200, and the air outlet 412 is located on the side of the pressure plate 220 near the discharge port 202 on the single-coil machine housing 200. In this way, when the pressure plate 220 prints on the paper, the air inside the heating channel 410 is heated by the heating wire 420 and then transferred to the pressure plate 220, thereby drying the paper during the printing process. At the same time, when the paper is transferred out from the discharge port 202 by the conveying mechanism 300 after printing, the air outlet 412 of the heating channel 410 is tilted downward, so that the printed paper undergoes secondary drying during transportation. Furthermore, the air outlet 412 is located inside the single-coil machine housing 200, which helps to maintain a constant internal temperature and improves the drying speed of the printed paper.

[0054] Furthermore, a support plate 230 is fixedly installed inside the single concave housing 200. The support plate 230 is located between the upper and lower layers of the conveyor belt 340, and the support plate 230 is attached to the lower surface of the upper conveyor belt 340.

[0055] Furthermore, the pressure plate 220 is fixed by bolts to the upper and lower plates, and the heating channel 410 is opened on one side that is close to the upper and lower plates.

[0056] It should be noted that the pressure plate 220 is set with two layers, upper and lower, which can be fixed with bolts, making it convenient to change the printed text.

[0057] Furthermore, a pipe clamp 430 is fixedly installed in the heating channel 410 of the upper plate of the pressure plate 220 by bolts, and the heating wire 420 is detachably fixed to the heating channel 410 by the pipe clamp 430.

[0058] It should be noted that the pressure plate 220 is configured with two layers, and the heating channel 410 is opened at the contact position between the upper and lower layers. This makes it convenient to detachably fix the tube clamp 430 in the semi-circular heating channel 410 of the upper layer, thereby facilitating the replacement or maintenance of the heating wire 420.

[0059] Furthermore, the air pump 440 is an adjustable power air pump, and the air pump 440 is electrically connected to the controller 450.

[0060] Furthermore, a temperature sensor is installed in the heating channel 410. The temperature sensor is electrically connected to the controller 450. The controller 450 receives the temperature information fed back by the temperature sensor, thereby controlling the heating power of the heating wire 420.

[0061] Working principle: A single-concave housing 200 is installed in the middle of the upper surface of the mounting plate 100. A cylinder 210 is fixedly installed on the top plate of the single-concave housing 200. The output shaft of the cylinder 210 passes through the top plate of the single-concave housing 200 and is fixedly connected to a pressure plate 220. The pressure plate 220 is divided into an upper pressure plate 220 and a lower pressure plate 220, which are fixed together by bolts. A heating channel 410 is opened on the side of the upper pressure plate 220 and the lower pressure plate 220 that are close to each other. The two ends of the heating channel 410 pass through the upper pressure plate 220 and the lower pressure plate 220 respectively, serving as an air inlet 411 and an air outlet. An air outlet duct is fixedly connected to the air inlet 411. An adjustable power air pump 440 is fixedly installed on the upper pressure plate 220. The air inlet duct 441 of the air pump 440 can be connected to the outside of the single concave housing 200 or to the inside of the single concave housing 200. In this way, the air pump 440 can exhaust air into the interior of the heating channel 410. A detachable pipe clamp 430 is fixed to the heating channel 410 of the upper pressure plate 220 by bolts. A heating wire 420 is fixed inside the pipe clamp 430. In addition, a controller 450 is fixedly installed on the top of the single concave housing 200. The controller 450 and the heating wire 420 are connected to the heating channel 410. 20. Cylinder 210 and air pump 440 are electrically connected. When the conveyor belt 340 of the conveying mechanism 300 carries the paper into the single-coil printing press housing 200, the output of cylinder 210 controls the pressure plate 220 to print on the paper. During this process, the motor 320 does not rotate, and cylinder 210 controls the pressure plate 220 to move closer to the support plate 230. Simultaneously, it controls the air pump 440 and heating wire 420 to operate, allowing the paper to be heated and dried simultaneously during printing. While the air pump 440 continuously blows air into the pressure plate 220, the air outlet 412 continuously discharges hot air from the pressure plate. In section 220, the printed paper on conveyor belt 340 can be heated a second time, accelerating the drying rate of the printed product and saving time. In addition, a temperature sensor (not shown in the figure) is installed inside the heating channel 410. The temperature sensor is electrically connected to the controller 450. In this way, the temperature inside the heating channel 410 is monitored in real time by the temperature sensor, and the temperature information of the heating channel 410 is transmitted to the controller 450. The controller 450 can then change the heating power of the heating wire 420 to keep the temperature of the entire pressure plate 220 stable, ensuring the stability of the drying of the printed paper.

[0062] In summary, this hot air drying single-concave printing machine achieves hot air drying of the printing material below the pressure plate 220 by opening a heating channel 410 inside the pressure plate 220 and installing a heating wire 420 inside the channel. Simultaneously, an air pump 440 draws in air through an air inlet pipe 441 and sends it into the heating channel 410 through an exhaust pipe 442. The heating wire 420 heats the air inside the channel, thereby achieving hot air drying of the printing material below the pressure plate 220. The hot air is blown out from the air outlet 412 and acts on the surface of the material. This achieves a highly efficient drying effect. Compared with traditional natural drying or simple external drying equipment, it can perform drying operations simultaneously during the printing process, greatly shortening the processing cycle.

[0063] In summary, this hot air drying single-concave machine, by designing the pressure plate 220 as consisting of upper and lower plates fixed by bolts, and with the heating channel 410 located on the side of the two plates close to each other, and by using pipe clamps 430 to detachably fix the heating wire 420 in the heating channel 410 of the upper plate of the pressure plate 220, achieves convenient maintenance and replacement of the pressure plate 220 and heating components, thereby reducing the difficulty and cost of equipment maintenance. During long-term operation, the heating wire 420 may be damaged due to aging, overload, or other reasons. Traditional integrated pressure plate 220 and heating wire 420 structures often require complete disassembly and replacement during maintenance, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive. This design allows maintenance personnel to easily remove the bolts, separate the upper and lower plates, and inspect, replace, or maintain the heating wire 420 individually.
