[0021] Reference Figure 1-3 A drying mechanism for printing plates includes a mounting plate 1 with multiple symmetrically arranged mounting holes 2. A rotating plate 4 is rotatably connected to the upper end of the mounting plate 1. An air inlet pipe 3 passes through one side of the mounting plate 1 and the rotating plate 4. A rotary joint 15 is provided at the end of the air inlet pipe 3. A corrugated pipe 16 is provided at one end of the rotary joint 15. A connecting plate 13 is provided at the end of the corrugated pipe 16. An air outlet 14 is provided at the lower end of the connecting plate 13. The corrugated pipe 16 is connected to the air outlet 14. The rotating plate 4 is provided with a mechanism for raising and lowering the connecting plate 13. The lifting mechanism includes multiple threaded rods 10 rotatably connected to the rotating plate 4. Each threaded rod 10 has a threaded tube 12 threaded to its outer wall. Each threaded tube 12 is connected to the connecting plate 13. Through the threaded connection between the threaded tube 12 and the threaded rod 10, the rotation of the threaded rod 10 causes the multiple threaded tubes 12 to move, thereby pushing the connecting plate 13 and the air outlet 14 to move, achieving the effect of adjusting the height of the air outlet 14, which facilitates the drying operation of the plates at different heights.

[0022] The rotating plate 4 is provided with a rotating mechanism for rotating it. The rotating mechanism includes a positioning ring set on the rotating plate 4. The outer wall of the positioning ring is provided with a rotating toothed ring 5. By rotating the rotating toothed ring 5, the rotating plate 4 is driven to rotate, thereby rotating the rotating plate 4 with the entire device, thereby achieving the effect of adjusting the angle of the air outlet 14 and improving the overall adaptability of the device.

[0023] The rotating plate 4 is provided with a fixed ring 8, the outer wall of the fixed ring 8 is provided with a fixed toothed ring 9, and the outer walls of multiple threaded rods 10 are provided with rotating wheels 11 that mesh with the fixed toothed ring 9.

[0024] The lower end of the rotating plate 4 is provided with a support frame, and a power motor 18 is provided inside the support frame. The outer wall of the output shaft of the power motor 18 is provided with a drive wheel 17, which meshes with the fixed gear ring 9.

[0025] The mounting plate 1 has a positioning frame at the lower end, and a drive motor 7 is installed inside the positioning frame. The drive motor 7 has a drive wheel 6 on the outer wall of its output shaft, and the drive wheel 6 meshes with the rotating gear ring 5.

[0026] When using this utility model, during the drying operation of the printing plate, the mounting plate 1 is installed at the installation location through multiple mounting holes 2. Using existing technology, hot air is introduced into the air outlet 14 through the air inlet pipe 3 and the corrugated pipe 16. At this time, the power motor 18 is started, causing the drive wheel 17 on the outer wall of its output shaft to rotate. The engagement of the drive wheel 17 with the fixed gear ring 9 causes the fixed gear ring 9 to rotate. Then, the engagement of multiple rotating wheels 11 with the fixed gear ring 9 causes the multiple rotating wheels 11 to rotate, driving multiple threaded rods 10 to rotate. Through the threaded connection between the threaded pipe 12 and the threaded rod 10, the rotation of the threaded rod 10 causes the multiple threaded pipes 12 to move, thereby pushing the connecting plate 13 and the air outlet 14 to move, achieving the effect of adjusting the height of the air outlet 14, which is convenient for people to perform drying operations on printing plates located at different heights.

[0027] When it is necessary to adjust the angle of the air outlet 14, the drive motor 7 is started, causing the drive wheel 6 to rotate. Through the meshing of the drive wheel 6 with the rotating gear ring 5 and the rotational connection between the rotating plate 4 and the mounting plate 1, the rotating gear ring 5 rotates, driving the rotating plate 4 to rotate. This causes the rotating plate 4 to rotate the entire device, thereby achieving the effect of adjusting the angle of the air outlet 14 and improving the overall adaptability of the device.
