Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of paper drying for printing, specifically a paper drying device for printing. Background Technology

[0002] With the continuous development of printing technology, the requirements for the quality and efficiency of printed materials are becoming increasingly higher. Among them, the drying equipment for paper printing is one of the most important pieces of equipment in the printing industry. It is mainly used to quickly and effectively dry the printing paper to ensure that there is no moisture left on the surface of the product, thus facilitating its rapid completion.

[0003] Existing paper printing drying equipment typically employs hot air drying technology. In operation, the printed paper is first placed on a conveyor mechanism, which then uniformly transports the paper. Simultaneously, a blower mechanism generates hot air and evenly distributes it to the surface of the paper. The hot air accelerates the evaporation of moisture from the paper surface, thereby achieving rapid drying.

[0004] However, in actual use, because the temperature of the hot air blown onto the paper surface cannot be known in real time, it is difficult to control the temperature in real time. As a result, the temperature of the hot air is prone to being too high or too low. When the hot air temperature is too high, the paper may deform, curl or lose ink due to over-drying. When the hot air temperature is too low, the drying efficiency of the paper will decrease, thus affecting the quality and efficiency of drying the printing paper.

[0023] Example 1

[0024] like Figure 1-4 As shown, this is the first embodiment of the present invention, which provides a drying apparatus for paper printing, including...

[0025] The conveying unit 100 includes a support 110, a conveying roller 120 movably connected to the inner cavity of the support 110 via bearings, a temperature sensor 130 disposed on the front and back of the inner cavity of the support 110 for real-time monitoring of hot air temperature, and a winding assembly 140 disposed on one side of the support 110 for winding paper.

[0026] The hot air drying unit 200 includes a housing 210, a microcontroller 220 disposed on one side of the housing 210, a centrifugal fan 230 fixedly connected to the top of the housing 210, a heating box 240 connected to the air inlet of the centrifugal fan 230, an electric heating tube 250 disposed in the inner cavity of the heating box 240, a diversion pipe 260 connected to the air outlet of the centrifugal fan 230, a nozzle 270 connected to the bottom of the diversion pipe 260 and connected to the inner cavity of the housing 210, and an air inlet pipe 280 connected to one side of the heating box 240.

[0027] like Figure 1-4As shown, the printed paper to be dried is placed on the conveyor roller 120, which, in conjunction with the winding assembly 140, transports the paper at a uniform speed. The winding assembly 140 can automatically wind up the paper after drying, improving work efficiency. During the paper transport process, after the centrifugal fan 230 is started, it draws in external air and enters the heating box 240. The air is heated in the heating box 240 by the electric heating tube 250, generating high-temperature hot air. The hot air is then distributed to the nozzles 270 through the distributor 260 and evenly blown onto the paper surface, achieving a fast and uniform drying effect. During the drying process, the temperature sensor 130 monitors the hot air temperature in real time and transmits the signal to the microcontroller 220. The microcontroller 220 adjusts the heating power of the electric heating tube 250 according to the preset program and temperature feedback to maintain a stable hot air temperature and achieve automatic temperature control. This ensures the quality of paper drying while preventing overheating or under-drying, effectively improving the quality of paper drying.

[0028] Example 2

[0029] Reference Figure 1 , 2 4 and 5 represent the second embodiment of this utility model, which is based on the previous embodiment.

[0030] In this embodiment, the cover 210 is movably connected to the bracket 110 via a hinge, and the lower end of one side of the bracket 110 is movably connected to the limiting roller 111 via a bearing. Both the limiting roller 111 and the conveying roller 120 are in contact with the paper.

[0031] The winding assembly 140 includes a fixed frame 141 fixedly connected to one side of the bracket 110, a geared motor 142 fixedly connected to the front of the fixed frame 141, a winding roller 143 drivenly connected to the output shaft of the geared motor 142, a clamp 145 movably connected to the inner cavity of the winding roller 143, and a limiting frame 144 movably connected to the clamp 145 via a bearing.

[0032] like Figure 1 , 2As shown in Figure 4, the cover 210 is movably connected to the bracket 110, allowing the cover 210 to be easily opened or closed, facilitating cleaning and maintenance of the conveying unit 100. The cover 210 also shields the conveyed paper, preventing external dust from falling onto it. The limiting roller 111 and the conveying roller 120 work together to ensure the paper remains stable during conveying, preventing deviation or wrinkling. The reduction motor 142 drives the winding roller 143 to rotate and wind up the paper. The limiting frame 144 limits the winding of the paper. The clamp 145 facilitates the connection between the limiting frame 144 and the winding roller 143. The limiting frame 144 drives the clamp 145 to disengage from the inner cavity of the winding roller 143, making it easier for personnel to remove the wound paper from the surface of the winding roller 143, thus improving the convenience of paper collection.

[0033] Example 3

[0034] Reference Figure 1-3 This is the third embodiment of the present invention, which is based on the first two embodiments.

[0035] In this embodiment, a viewing window is provided at the lower end of the front of the cover 210, and an intercepting net is fixedly connected to the inner cavity of the air inlet pipe 280.

[0036] The output of temperature sensor 130 is connected to the input of microcontroller 220. The output of microcontroller 220 is connected to the input of electric heating tube 250, centrifugal fan 230 and geared motor 142 respectively. Electric heating tube 250 is a stainless steel finned electric heating tube. Microcontroller 220 is an ESP32 series microcontroller. Temperature sensor 130 is a Lufft WS700.

[0037] like Figure 1-3 As shown, a viewing window is provided through the cover 210, allowing operators to visually observe the state of the paper during drying and to monitor for any abnormalities in real time. An interceptor mesh inside the air inlet duct 280 prevents external airborne debris such as dust or insects from entering, ensuring the cleanliness of the hot air and preventing debris from adhering to the paper surface. A temperature sensor 130 is connected to a microcontroller 220, which collects hot air temperature data in real time and transmits it to the microcontroller 220, providing accurate data for temperature control. The microcontroller 220 is connected to the electric heating element 250, centrifugal fan 230, and geared motor 142, enabling unified control of these components and improving the automation level of the equipment. The electric heating element 250 is made of stainless steel finned heating tube, which has excellent thermal conductivity and corrosion resistance, allowing for rapid and uniform heating of the air and improving drying efficiency.

[0038] In operation, the printed paper to be dried is first placed on the conveyor roller 120 and positioned by the limiting roller 111. Then, the microcontroller 220 starts the geared motor 142, which drives the winding roller 143 to rotate and wind up the paper. This winding process ensures the paper is conveyed at a uniform speed on the conveyor roller 120, improving work efficiency. During paper transport, the centrifugal fan 230 draws in external air and introduces it into the heating chamber 240. The electric heating tube 250 heats the air inside the heating chamber 240, generating high-temperature hot air. This hot air is then distributed to the nozzles 270 through the distributor 260, evenly blowing it onto the paper surface for rapid and uniform drying. The drying process is effective, and the temperature sensor 130 monitors the hot air temperature in real time and transmits the signal to the microcontroller 220. The microcontroller adjusts the heating power of the electric heating tube 250 according to the preset program and temperature feedback to maintain a stable hot air temperature and achieve automatic temperature control. This ensures the quality of paper drying and prevents overheating or under-drying, effectively improving the quality of paper drying. After the paper is dried, the personnel can pull the limit frame 144, which drives the clamp 145 to disengage from the inner cavity of the winding roller 143, making it easier for personnel to remove the wound paper from the surface of the winding roller 143. This improves the convenience and flatness of collecting the dried paper.
