Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of drying equipment technology, specifically to a circulating ink drying device. Background Technology

[0002] In modern printing and packaging industries, ink drying is a crucial step in the production process. Currently, common ink drying equipment includes hot air drying equipment, infrared drying equipment, and ultraviolet (UV) drying equipment. Hot air drying equipment uses hot air convection to remove solvents from the ink, infrared drying equipment utilizes the thermal effect of infrared rays to accelerate the evaporation of solvents in the ink, and UV drying equipment uses ultraviolet radiation to decompose photoinitiators in the ink, thereby initiating a polymerization reaction and achieving drying.

[0003] For example, Chinese utility model patent with publication number CN218804716U provides an ink dryer. The dryer conveys the printing substrate into the housing through a conveying component, and then dries the ink on the printing substrate through an ultraviolet curing component set inside the housing.

[0004] However, these traditional ink drying devices have significant drawbacks in practical applications. As companies increasingly demand efficient space utilization, the large footprint of traditional ink drying devices becomes more pronounced. To ensure production efficiency within limited space, companies often need to reduce the layout space of the drying equipment. In this situation, the material's path within the drying device is forced to be shortened, making it difficult to meet standard baking times.

[0005] Furthermore, some companies have attempted to compensate for insufficient baking time by increasing drying temperature or radiation intensity, but this easily leads to new quality problems such as ink surface skinning and substrate deformation, further reducing the baking effect and product quality. In view of this, a circulating ink drying device is proposed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0006] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model proposes a circulating ink drying device to solve the technical problem mentioned in the background art: existing ink drying devices have space limitations, and under the premise of ensuring supply efficiency, the material baking time in a limited space cannot reach the standard, resulting in a decrease in baking effect.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a circulating ink drying device, comprising:

[0008] The container has a feeding assembly on one side and a discharging assembly on the other side.

[0009] Multiple sets of movable forks are arranged at intervals and can move in a circumferential manner inside the box.

[0010] Heating components are mounted on the housing; and

[0011] A drive mechanism is disposed inside the housing and connected to multiple sets of movable forks to drive the movable forks to move circumferentially, so as to receive the material on the feeding assembly and transfer it to the discharging assembly.

[0012] In a preferred embodiment, the feeding assembly includes:

[0013] A conveyor belt is disposed on one side of the housing; and

[0014] A receiving fork is disposed at the end of the conveyor belt and located inside the housing. The opening direction of the receiving fork is opposite to that of the movable fork, and the movable fork can pass through the gap of the receiving fork when it moves.

[0015] In a preferred embodiment, the discharge assembly includes a roller conveyor, one end of which is located inside the housing, and an opening slot is provided on one side of the roller conveyor, through which the movable fork can pass through the gap between the rollers of the roller conveyor during movement.

[0016] In a preferred embodiment, the drive mechanism includes:

[0017] Two sets of chain conveyor assemblies are arranged in a staggered manner, both located within the housing; and

[0018] The connecting frame is connected to two sets of chain conveyor assemblies at both ends, and the movable fork is fixedly mounted on the connecting frame.

[0019] In a preferred embodiment, the chain conveyor assembly includes:

[0020] Two sets of sprockets, each capable of rotation, are installed inside the housing.

[0021] A drive motor is mounted on the housing, and its output shaft is connected to one of the sets of sprockets; and

[0022] The chain body is sleeved on two sets of sprockets, and multiple sets of connecting seats are arranged at intervals on the chain body. The connecting frame is hinged to the connecting seats.

[0023] In a preferred embodiment, the heating assembly includes:

[0024] A shielding shell is located on one side of the housing. The housing has multiple sets of through holes that communicate with the shielding shell. A turbine fan is also installed inside the shielding shell.

[0025] A heating wire is disposed within the shielding housing and is externally powered; and

[0026] The baffle is arranged at an angle and is located on one side of the through hole.

[0027] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0028] During use, the device conveys the sheet material to be baked into the chamber through the feeding component. The drive mechanism controls multiple sets of movable forks to move in a circular motion. During the movement of the movable forks, the sheet material can be moved in a circular motion within the chamber once before being transferred to the discharge component. The discharge component then removes the baked sheet material from the chamber for subsequent processing. During the movement of the sheet material within the chamber, heat can be supplied to the chamber through the heating component. This increases the time the sheet material stays in the chamber within a limited space, reduces the space occupied by the equipment when baking sheet material for a long time, reduces energy waste, and improves the baking effect.

[0035] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that the following specific embodiments are only used to further illustrate the present invention and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present invention. Those skilled in the art can make some non-essential improvements and adjustments to the present invention based on the above application content.

[0036] like Figure 1 , 3As shown, this utility model provides a circulating ink drying device, including a box 1, which is enclosed, and multiple sets of spaced movable forks 7, all of which are circumferentially movable within the box 1. A feeding assembly is located on one side of the box 1, and a discharging assembly is located on the other side. The feeding assembly includes a conveyor belt 8 located on one side of the box 1, with receiving forks 9 at the ends of the conveyor belt 8. The receiving forks 9 are located inside the box 1, and their opening direction is opposite to that of the movable forks 7, allowing the movable forks 7 to pass through the gaps in the receiving forks 9 during movement. The discharging assembly includes a roller conveyor 10, one end of which is located inside the box 1, and an opening slot 11 is provided on one side of the roller conveyor 10, allowing the movable forks 7 to pass through the gaps between the rollers of the roller conveyor 10 during movement.

[0037] The sheets to be dried can be transferred via conveyor belt 8. During the conveying process, the sheets can fall from conveyor belt 8 onto receiving forks 9. During the movement of moving forks 7, they can move from bottom to top through the gaps in receiving forks 9 to transfer the sheets on receiving forks 9 to moving forks 7. After the moving forks 7 move in a circle, during the descent, they can move from bottom to top through the opening at one end of roller conveyor 10 and the gaps between multiple sets of rollers to transfer the sheets on moving forks 7 to roller conveyor 10. Then, the movement of roller conveyor 10 moves the sheets out of the box 1. Compared with the traditional method of directly conveying sheets, the residence time of the sheets in the box 1 can be increased.

[0038] like Figure 1 , 2 As shown, in this embodiment, a heating assembly is provided on the housing 1. The heating assembly includes a shielding shell 12 located on one side of the housing 1. The housing 1 has multiple sets of through holes 14 communicating with the shielding shell 12. A turbine fan (not shown) is also provided inside the shielding shell 12. An electric heating wire 13 is provided inside the shielding shell 12. The electric heating wire 13 is connected to an external power source. An inclined baffle plate 15 is also provided on one side of the through hole 14.

[0039] During the movement of the sheet material inside the chamber 1, it can be heated by the heating wire 13, and the hot air inside the shield shell 12 can be sent into the chamber 1 by the turbine fan to increase the temperature inside the chamber 1, thereby drying the sheet material. The baffle plate 15 can increase the contact area between the hot air and the surface of the sheet material to improve the baking effect.

[0040] like Figure 1 , 3As shown, in this embodiment, a drive mechanism connected to multiple sets of movable forks 7 is provided inside the housing 1. The drive mechanism drives the movable forks 7 to move circumferentially to receive and transfer the material on the feeding assembly to the discharging assembly. The drive mechanism includes two sets of staggered chain conveying assemblies located inside the housing 1. Each chain conveying assembly includes two sets of rotatable sprockets 2 mounted on the housing 1. A drive motor 3 is mounted on the housing 1, and the output shaft of the drive motor 3 is connected to one set of sprockets 2. Chain bodies 4 are sleeved on the two sets of sprockets 2, and multiple sets of connecting seats 5 are arranged at intervals on the chain bodies 4. The drive mechanism also includes a connecting frame 6, with both ends of the connecting frame 6 connected to the two sets of chain conveying assemblies, and the movable forks 7 are fixedly mounted on the connecting frame 6.

[0041] The chain body 4 can be driven to move by the cooperation of the drive motor 3 and the sprocket 2. The chain body 4 can be driven to move by the cooperation of two sets of staggered chain bodies 4 and multiple sets of connecting seats 5. Multiple sets of connecting frames 6 can move circumferentially along the trajectory of the chain body 4. At the same time, the multiple sets of connecting frames 6 do not flip during the movement, so as to drive the movable fork 7 to move in a translational manner, thereby realizing the smooth transfer of the sheet material.

[0042] The specific usage and beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0043] In use, the device conveys the sheet to be baked into the chamber 1 through the feeding component, and controls multiple sets of movable forks 7 to move in a circle through the drive mechanism. During the movement, the movable forks 7 can drive the sheet to move in a circle within the chamber 1 once before transferring the sheet to the discharge component. The discharge component then removes the baked sheet from the chamber 1 for subsequent processing. During the movement of the sheet in the chamber 1, heat can be supplied to the chamber 1 through the heating component, thereby increasing the time the sheet stays in the chamber 1 within a limited space, reducing the space occupied by the equipment when baking sheet for a long time, reducing energy waste, and improving the baking effect.

[0044] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this utility model is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above. Modifications or improvements can be made to this utility model, which is obvious to those skilled in the art. Therefore, all such modifications or improvements made without departing from the spirit of this utility model fall within the scope of protection claimed by this utility model.
