Description

An inclined drying device Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of drying equipment processing technology, specifically to an inclined drying device. Background Technology

[0002] Printed materials are common items used for promotional materials, informational materials, and so on. Currently, some promotional materials use multi-color printing techniques on cardboard to print intricate designs, achieving better promotional effects. After printing, these materials need to be left to dry to ensure the ink dries completely, preventing scratches or damage to the designs after the materials are collected.

[0003] To improve ink drying efficiency, some printing plants now use drying tunnels to dry printed materials. This allows the ink to dry as the printed material passes through the drying tunnel, thus increasing drying efficiency. Current drying equipment typically includes a conveyor chain and a drying tunnel that encloses the conveyor chain. The printed material is placed on the conveyor chain and passes through the drying tunnel, completing the drying process.

[0004] However, this method involves laying the printed material flat, resulting in low utilization of the drying tunnel and low drying efficiency.

[0005] Therefore, a technical solution is urgently needed to solve the above-mentioned technical problems. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The purpose of this utility model is to provide an inclined drying device. To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] An inclined drying device includes a ring-shaped machine platform, a conveying device that circulates in a ring around the machine platform, and a drying tunnel on the machine platform, the drying tunnel including an inlet end and an outlet end. The conveying device includes:

[0008] A conveying device is movably mounted on the machine platform along the circular trajectory of the machine platform shown.

[0009] A drive device is fixedly mounted on the machine base and is connected to the conveying device for transmission, driving the conveying device to perform a cyclical rotation on the machine base.

[0010] The placement rack includes a plurality of racks evenly spaced on the conveying device. Each placement rack includes a base fixedly mounted on the conveying device and an inclined frame. The base is also provided with a support position for placing items to be dried.

[0011] Furthermore, an annular conveyor platform with the same arc as the circular trajectory of the machine platform is also provided on the machine platform, and a conveying channel is provided on the conveyor platform, with the conveying device slidably disposed within the conveying channel.

[0012] Furthermore, the conveying device is a chain, which includes several chain blocks, and a connecting plate is provided between two adjacent chain blocks. The two ends of the connecting plate are rotatably connected to the ends of the two chain blocks by pins, and the connecting plate faces upward and protrudes from the opening of the conveying channel.

[0013] Furthermore, the drive device includes at least two sprockets rotatably connected to the machine base, and the sprockets are driven by the chain. It also includes a motor fixedly mounted on the machine base and driven by one of the sprockets to drive its rotation and drive the chain to circulate.

[0014] Furthermore, the seat is fixedly mounted on the end of the pin and swings with the pin during the chain drive.

[0015] Furthermore, the frame includes two opposing legs, one end of which is fixedly connected to the base and the other end extends obliquely upward. The frame also includes a rod, which is fixedly connected to the ends of the two legs away from the base, such that the two legs and the rod define an oblique placement surface.

[0016] Furthermore, a clamping member is provided on the base, one end of which is formed on the base and the other end extends obliquely toward the frame, defining a placement space with the frame.

[0017] Furthermore, the clamping member is provided with a protrusion that protrudes toward the frame and has an outwardly convex arc surface.

[0018] Furthermore, the conveying device is also provided with an auxiliary conveying structure, which makes the chain suspend within the conveying channel. The auxiliary conveying structure includes multiple crossbeams that are equally spaced on the connecting plate. The two ends of the crossbeams extend to both sides of the conveying channel, and a wheel is rotatably connected to the end of the crossbeam. When the sprocket reciprocates, the wheel rolls along the conveying table.

[0019] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0020] This embodiment provides an inclined drying device. During the drying process, printed materials are placed on a rack and supported by a base. The materials are placed at an incline on the rack. A conveyor, driven by a drive unit, reciprocates on the machine, entering through the inlet of the drying tunnel and exiting through the outlet. This allows the printed materials to be dried within the drying tunnel. Furthermore, because the printed materials are inclined during drying, the space occupied by the conveyor is reduced, as are the gaps between the printed materials. This increases the number of printed materials that can be placed in the drying tunnel, improving its utilization rate and the efficiency of the drying operation. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0027] To facilitate understanding by those skilled in the art, the present invention will be further described below with reference to embodiments and accompanying drawings. The content mentioned in the embodiments is not intended to limit the present invention. The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0028] This utility model embodiment provides an inclined drying device for drying printed materials. By tilting the printed materials during the drying process, the device can reduce the spacing between them and maintain a certain space 324 between each printed material, thereby improving the utilization rate of the drying tunnel 110 and increasing the drying efficiency.

[0029] Specifically, as shown in Figures 1-5, the inclined drying equipment provided in this embodiment includes a circular platform 100. A conveying device is arranged on the platform 100, circulating in a circular manner along the platform 100. A drying tunnel 110 is also arranged on the platform 100, including an inlet end 111 and an outlet end 112. The conveying device includes a conveying device 200, a driving device, and a placement rack 300. The conveying device 200 is movably arranged on the platform 100 along the circular trajectory shown. The driving device is fixedly installed on the platform 100 and is connected to the conveying device 200 for transmission, driving the conveying device 200 to perform a cyclical movement on the platform 100. The placement rack 300 includes multiple racks evenly spaced on the conveying device. The placement rack 300 includes a base 310 fixedly installed on the conveying device and an inclined frame 320. The base 310 is also provided with a support position 311 for placing items to be dried.

[0030] During the drying process, the printed materials are placed on the rack 300 and supported by the seat 310. They are also placed at an angle on the inclined rack 320. The conveyor 200 is driven by the drive device to reciprocate on the machine 100. The materials enter through the inlet 111 of the drying tunnel 110 and exit through the outlet 112. This allows the printed materials to be dried within the drying tunnel 110. During the drying process, because the printed materials are tilted, the space 324 occupied by the printed materials on the conveyor 200 is reduced, and the gaps between the printed materials are reduced. This increases the number of printed materials in the drying tunnel 110, improves the utilization rate of the drying tunnel 110, and increases the efficiency of the drying operation.

[0031] In this embodiment, to ensure smooth conveying by the conveying device 200, an annular conveyor platform 120 with the same arc as the circular trajectory of the machine platform 100 is also provided on the machine platform 100. A conveying channel 121 is provided on the conveying platform 120, and the conveying device 200 is slidably disposed within the conveying channel 121. The restriction of the conveying channel 121 makes the conveying device 200 more stable during the cyclic conveying process, ensuring that the printed materials placed at an incline on the frame 320 can be stably conveyed to complete the drying operation.

[0032] In this embodiment, as shown in Figures 3 and 5, the conveying device 200 is a chain, comprising several chain blocks 210. A connecting plate 211 is provided between two adjacent chain blocks 210. The two ends of the connecting plate 211 are rotatably connected to the ends of the two chain blocks 210 via pins 212. The connecting plate 211 faces upward and protrudes from the opening of the conveying channel 121. The chain drives the placement frame 300 to reciprocate in a cyclical manner, thereby completing the drying operation of the printed materials. At the same time, placing the chain within the conveying channel 121 ensures the stability of the chain during transmission.

[0033] In this embodiment, the driving device includes at least two sprockets (not shown) rotatably connected to the machine base 100, and the sprockets (not shown) are connected to the chain drive. It also includes a motor (not shown) fixedly mounted on the machine base 100 and connected to one of the sprockets (not shown) to drive its rotation and cause the chain to circulate. In other words, the chain is driven to reciprocate through the motor (not shown) and the sprockets (not shown) connected to the chain, enabling the chain to be used for drying printed materials. The chain connecting plate 211 protrudes from the opening of the conveyor channel 121, meaning the opening on the chain that interacts with the sprocket (not shown) faces sideways. In this embodiment, the axial direction of the sprocket (not shown) is vertical, thus ensuring the chain drive connection.

[0034] Meanwhile, as shown in Figures 3-5, the seat 310 is fixedly mounted on the end of the pin 212 and swings with the pin 212 during chain transmission. The axis of the pin 212 is vertically locked, and the seat 310 is fixedly connected to the pin 212. Therefore, when the chain passes through the arc-shaped end of the conveyor channel 121, the placement frame 300 can swing with the pin 212, thereby maintaining a certain distance between two adjacent placement frames 300 when the chain is bending, and preventing the inner ends of the two placement frames 300 from colliding with each other.

[0035] In this embodiment, the frame 320 includes two opposing legs 321. One end of each leg 321 is fixedly connected to the base 310, and the other end extends obliquely upward. The frame 320 also includes a rod 322, which is fixedly connected to the ends of the two legs 321 away from the base 310, so that the two legs 321 and the rod 322 define an inclined placement surface.

[0036] During the placement of printed materials, the printed materials are placed on the placement surface defined by the legs 321 and the rod 322, and the lower end of the printed materials is supported by the support position 311, which can keep the printed materials stable. At the same time, since only the legs and rod 322 are in contact with the printed materials after they are placed on the frame 320, a sufficiently large area of ​​the printed materials is exposed, ensuring the efficiency of drying.

[0037] In this embodiment, to ensure the stability of the printed material placed on the frame 320, a clamping member 323 is also provided on the base 310. One end of the clamping member 323 is formed on the base 310, and the other end extends obliquely toward the frame 320, defining a placement space 324 with the frame 320. It is worth noting that multiple clamping members 323 can be provided and spaced apart from each other, thereby further improving the stability of the printed material.

[0038] The lower end of the printed material is supported by the support position 311 and is also located within the placement space 324. This ensures that the lower end of the printed material will not fall off the frame 320 due to vibration during transport, thus guaranteeing the stability of the printed material on the placement frame 300.

[0039] Meanwhile, to further enhance the restraining effect on the lower end of the printed material, a protrusion 325 is provided on the clamping member 323. The protrusion 325 protrudes towards the frame 320 and has an outwardly convex arc surface. The arc surface makes it easier to place the lower end of the printed material into the placement space 324, and also prevents the protrusion 325 from impacting the lower edge of the printed material and causing deformation or damage when the lower end of the printed material comes into contact with the protrusion 325.

[0040] In this embodiment, in order to ensure that the chain can be conveyed more stably within the conveying channel 121, an auxiliary conveying structure is also provided on the conveying device 200. The auxiliary conveying structure makes the chain float within the conveying channel 121. It includes a number of crossbeams 220 that are equally spaced on the connecting plate 211. The two ends of the crossbeams 220 extend to both sides of the conveying channel 121, and a rotating wheel 221 is rotatably connected to the end of the crossbeams 220. When the sprocket (not shown in the figure) reciprocates, the rotating wheel 221 rolls along the conveying table 120.

[0041] In other words, the chain is suspended within the conveying channel 121 by the crossbeam 220, so that during the cyclic flow driven by the drive device, the chain and the bottom of the conveying channel 121 are spaced apart, thereby reducing wear on the chain during the conveying process and reducing noise during operation.

[0042] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model in any way. Although the present utility model has been disclosed above with preferred embodiments, it is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any person skilled in the art can make some changes or modifications to the above-disclosed technical content to create equivalent embodiments without departing from the scope of the present utility model. Any simple modifications, equivalent changes and modifications made to the above embodiments based on the present utility model without departing from the scope of the present utility model shall fall within the scope of the present utility model.
