Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of egg packaging, specifically to an automatic egg inkjet drying machine. Background Technology

[0002] In the poultry and egg processing industry, inkjet printing on egg surfaces is a crucial step for traceability and brand identification. Traditional processes rely on natural air drying or fixed drying equipment before printing, resulting in low efficiency and high energy consumption. Existing drying devices often use fixed structures, making it impossible to adjust the hot air angle and height according to egg size or conveyor speed, easily leading to uneven heating, ink diffusion, or incomplete drying. Furthermore, insufficient cleanliness of the egg surface before printing can leave residual impurities that affect the clarity of the printing. In addition, traditional equipment lacks an integrated design, separating printing, drying, and cleaning processes, requiring manual intervention and hindering production efficiency.

[0003] Therefore, in order to solve the above-mentioned problems, an automatic egg inkjet drying machine is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0004] This invention addresses the problems mentioned above by designing an automatic egg inkjet drying machine. This device can clean the moisture and impurities on the eggs before inkjet printing, resulting in better inkjet printing effect. The drying device can be adjusted to accommodate a wider drying range.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides an automatic egg inkjet drying machine, comprising: a conveyor belt, a drying device, and an inkjet printer. The conveyor belt has side frames on both sides. The drying device and the inkjet printer are sequentially arranged along the moving direction of the conveyor belt. The inkjet printer is mounted on the upper part of the conveyor belt and fixedly connected to the side frames. The drying device is fixedly connected to the side frames. The drying device includes: a fixed plate, a movable plate, a hot air device, and a lifting device. The fixed plate is fixedly connected to the side of the side frames. The movable plate is movably connected to the fixed plate. The hot air device is disposed on the movable plate. The bottom of the lifting device is fixedly connected to the top of the side frames, and the top of the lifting device is slidably connected to the movable plate.

[0006] In this way, before the eggs enter the range of the inkjet printer, they first pass through a drying device to blow away and dry the moisture on them. The drying device can be adjusted in angle by connecting a fixed plate and a movable plate, and the blowing range can be manually adjusted according to the eggs being transported.

[0007] Furthermore, the hot air device includes: a blower, a heating wire box, and a mounting plate. The mounting plate is movably connected to the movable plate. The blower is inserted into the mounting plate, and the heating wire box is fixedly connected to the back of the blower.

[0008] In this way, the back of the heating wire box has a hollow structure. The heating wire generates heat, and the fan tube absorbs external air through the hollow structure. The air then passes through the heating wire and is heated.

[0009] Furthermore, the lifting device includes: a column, a lifting column, a connecting column, and pin holes. The side of the movable plate is provided with a movable groove. The column is vertically fixed to the frame. The lifting column is movably connected to the column. Both the column and the lifting column are provided with pin holes on their sides. The connecting column is fixedly connected to the top of the lifting column. The connecting column is slidably connected to the movable groove.

[0010] In the above manner, the lifting column is raised and lowered on the column. The lifting column is fixed by inserting the pin into the pin hole. During the raising and lowering of the lifting column, the connecting column slides in the movable groove, thereby lifting or pulling down the movable plate in sequence. When the lifting column is locked, the position of the movable plate is fixed.

[0011] Furthermore, it also includes an angle adjustment device. Shafts are fixedly connected to both sides of the middle part of the mounting plate. The mounting plate is rotatably connected to the movable plate through the shafts. The angle adjustment device is fixedly connected to the movable plate and located on both sides of the top of the mounting plate. The mounting plate is slidably connected to the angle adjustment device.

[0012] Furthermore, the angle adjustment device includes an arc-shaped plate and a sliding groove. Threaded columns are fixedly connected to both sides of the top of the mounting plate. The arc-shaped plate is fixedly connected to the movable plate and located on both sides of the top of the mounting plate. An arc-shaped sliding groove is provided on the arc-shaped plate, and the threaded columns are slidably connected in the sliding groove.

[0013] In this way, the middle part of the mounting plate is rotatably connected to the movable plate via a shaft. When rotating, the threaded column slides in the groove. By connecting the threaded column with a nut, the nut fixes the threaded column to the arc plate, thus fixing the angle of the mounting plate.

[0014] Furthermore, it also includes a cleaning device, which is fixedly connected to the side of the frame and located on the side of the drying device away from the inkjet printer.

[0015] Furthermore, the cleaning device includes an adjusting block and a mounting bracket. The mounting bracket is fixedly connected to the side of the frame, the adjusting block is disposed on the mounting bracket, and a soft brush is fixedly connected to the bottom of the adjusting block.

[0016] In summary, this utility model has the following advantages and beneficial technical effects:

[0017] 1. This utility model provides an automatic egg inkjet drying machine that can process eggs before inkjet printing, blow away and dry the moisture on them, making the surface of the eggs easier to print on, thus improving the quality and efficiency of inkjet printing.

[0018] 2. The drying device of the automatic egg inkjet dryer of this utility model has a wider adjustment range by means of lifting device and angle adjustment device. Since the tray size used for different batches of eggs is not the same, the range of air blowing is different. The air blowing range can be adjusted according to the size of the tray.

[0019] 3. The cleaning device of the automatic egg inkjet dryer of this utility model can first clean the moisture and impurities on the eggs, making the subsequent air drying process more convenient. Attached Figure Description
