Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of printer technology, and in particular to printer drying equipment. Background Technology

[0002] In the modern printing industry, printer drying equipment is becoming increasingly widely used. With the rapid development of advertising graphic design, textile printing, and packaging printing, the requirements for drying efficiency and quality of printing materials are constantly increasing. To ensure clear and vibrant printed images, and to avoid problems such as ink bleeding and material deformation, efficient drying equipment has become an indispensable part of the printing process. It not only improves printing efficiency and reduces waiting time, but also adapts to different types of printing materials and inks, ensuring the quality of the printed products, thus attracting the attention of many businesses and users.

[0003] Currently, most printer drying equipment uses an open-type hot air drying structure. This type of equipment blows hot air directly onto the printing material through a dryer, using the hot air to carry away the ink solvent and achieve material drying. Its technical principle is based on thermal convection; heating elements raise the air temperature, and then a fan directs the hot air towards the printing surface, causing the ink solvent to evaporate rapidly. However, this open structure lacks effective confinement of the hot air, and a large amount of hot air is lost into the surrounding environment during diffusion.

[0004] However, this open-type printer drying equipment has significant drawbacks. Due to the lack of effective airflow guidance and constraint, a large amount of heat is lost into the air before it can fully reach the printing material, resulting in low heat utilization of the dryer. This not only slows down the drying speed of the printing material, affecting production efficiency, but also wastes energy and increases the company's operating costs. In addition, uneven heat distribution can easily lead to insufficient drying or overheating and deformation of the printing material in certain areas, affecting print quality and making it difficult to meet the demands of high-precision and high-efficiency modern printing. Therefore, printer drying equipment is proposed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0031] 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.

[0032] Reference Figures 1-3This utility model provides an embodiment of a printer drying device, including a printer 1. A shelf 2 is fixedly connected to the top of the printer 1. The shelf 2 is made of high-strength aluminum alloy and the surface is anodized, which has good wear resistance and corrosion resistance. It is used to place printing consumables or small tools, which is convenient for operators to access and reduces the time wasted by frequent walking to retrieve items. A bracket 3 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the printer 1. The bracket is made of steel pipe wall, which stably supports the overall weight of the printer 1 and ensures that the equipment remains stable during printing, avoiding the impact of shaking on printing accuracy. A unwinding roller 4 is provided on the front side of the outer wall of the printer 1, a winding roller 7 is provided on the rear side of the outer wall of the printer 1, and a drying component is provided on the outer wall of the printer 1.

[0033] The drying assembly includes a dryer 6, the outer wall of which is set on the outer wall of the printer 1. The dryer 6 has heat dissipation holes 11 inside, evenly distributed in a honeycomb pattern with a diameter of 5mm, used to evenly blow out the hot air generated by heating, ensuring uniform heating of the printing material. A back baffle 5, made of stainless steel or painted iron plate with a thickness of 5mm, is fixedly connected inside the bracket 3 to prevent hot air from escaping from the rear of the dryer 6, forming a closed space with the front dryer 6. A connecting plate 9 is set on the outer wall of the bracket 3, and a disassembly assembly is set on the outer wall of the connecting plate 9 for fixing the dryer 6. Side baffles 8 are set on both sides of the bottom of the printer 1. A drying tunnel 10 is set between the dryer 6 and the back baffle 5, effectively reducing hot air escape, significantly improving the heating efficiency of the dryer 6, and accelerating the evaporation of solvent from undried ink by circulating hot air upwards and downwards within the tunnel, thereby improving the drying efficiency of the pattern and effectively reducing energy consumption.

[0034] Specifically, in the printing process, the unwind roller 4, as the starting point, bears the important responsibility of releasing the printing material, smoothly unfolding the rolled printing material to provide a continuous and flat substrate for subsequent printing processes. Then, the printer 1 performs high-precision pattern printing on the unfolded material, giving it rich colors and content. After printing, the dryer 6 quickly starts, delivering hot air to the printed surface to accelerate ink drying. During this process, the back baffle 5 and the side baffles 8 play a crucial role. They work together with the dryer 6 to construct a semi-enclosed drying space, the drying tunnel 10. This structure effectively prevents hot air from diffusing outwards, concentrating heat on the surface of the printing material and significantly improving the heat utilization efficiency of the dryer 6. Simultaneously, the hot air circulates vertically within the enclosed space, causing the solvent in the undried ink to evaporate rapidly. This not only significantly improves the drying efficiency of the pattern but also reduces energy consumption and optimizes the entire printing production process.

[0035] Reference Figure 4 and Figure 5The assembly and disassembly components include a locking post 17, the outer wall of which is processed with a high-precision grinding process to ensure the sliding connection accuracy with the connecting plate 9 and the dryer 6. The outer wall of the locking post 17 is slidably connected to the inside of the connecting plate 9 and the dryer 6. A fixed outer shell 12 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the connecting plate 9. A sliding rod 14 is slidably connected inside the fixed outer shell 12. The sliding rod 14 is a solid stainless steel rod. One end is fixedly connected to the limiting disc 16 by a thread, and the other end is rotatably connected to the pull ring 13 by a bearing. The bearing is a deep groove ball bearing model 608, which can reduce the frictional resistance between the pull ring 13 and the sliding rod 14, making the operation smoother. The pull ring 13 is injection molded from ABS engineering plastic and has a wave-shaped anti-slip texture on its surface. It conforms to ergonomic design and is easy for operators to pull. The pull ring 13 is rotatably connected to the outer wall of the slide rod 14. One end of the slide rod 14 is fixedly connected to the limiting disc 16. The other side of the limiting disc 16 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the locking post 17. The fixed housing 12 has a limiting groove 18 inside. The outer wall of the limiting disc 16 is slidably connected to the inside of the limiting groove 18. A spring 15 is sleeved on the outer wall of the slide rod 14. One end of the spring 15 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the limiting disc 16, and the other end of the spring 15 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the limiting groove 18.

[0036] Specifically, during routine maintenance or mode switching of the printing equipment, when printing is not required or the dryer 6 needs cleaning and maintenance, the operator only needs to gently pull the pull ring 13. This action will cause the slide bar 14 to slide smoothly inside the fixed housing 12. The movement of the slide bar 14 will drive the limiting disc 16 to move precisely along the limiting groove 18. During this process, the spring 15 is compressed, accumulating elastic potential energy. As the limiting disc 16 slides, the connected locking post 17 slides synchronously inside the dryer 6, gradually releasing the limiting lock on the dryer 6. In this way, the dryer 6 can be quickly disassembled without the need for any complicated tools, making it very convenient for deep cleaning of residual ink impurities or for inspecting and repairing internal components, effectively improving the efficiency and convenience of equipment maintenance.

[0037] Working principle: During printing, the ink is unwound by the unwind roller 4 and then printed by the printer 1. It is then dried by the dryer 6. The drying tunnel 10, which is formed by the back baffle 5 and the side baffles 8 on both sides, can greatly reduce the loss of hot air blown out by the dryer 6, greatly improve the heating efficiency of the dryer 6, and accelerate the evaporation of solvent from the undried ink by the upward and downward circulation of hot air, thereby improving the drying efficiency of the pattern and effectively reducing energy consumption.

[0038] Additionally, when printing is not required or cleaning is needed, the pull ring 13 can be pulled, which drives the slide bar 14 to slide inside the fixed housing 12. Then, the slide bar 14 drives the limiting disc 16 to slide inside the limiting groove 18, compressing the spring 15. Then, the limiting disc 16 drives the locking pin 17 to slide inside the dryer 6, releasing the limit on the dryer 6, thus making it easy to disassemble and assemble the dryer 6 for maintenance.

[0039] 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. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
