Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of waste heat recovery technology in printing workshops, specifically a waste heat recovery and utilization system for printing workshops. Background Technology

[0002] In the printing industry, the operation of equipment in printing workshops generates a significant amount of waste heat. For example, during the printing process, the motors, ink heating systems, and drying devices of printing presses continuously generate heat; drying equipment, such as heat pipe heat exchangers and plate heat exchangers, exhausts air containing a large amount of heat during operation; UV curing equipment uses ultraviolet light to rapidly cure ink, and the UV lamps and ink curing process also release considerable heat. If this waste heat is not recovered and utilized, it will not only waste energy but also cause the ambient temperature in the workshop to rise, affecting the normal operation of equipment and the comfort of employees. However, during the waste heat collection process, the air often contains a large number of impurities, which easily adhere to the filter devices of the waste heat collection equipment, causing the filter devices to become clogged, severely affecting ventilation efficiency, and thus reducing the effectiveness of waste heat collection. Utility Model Content

[0028] 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.

[0029] Please see Figures 1 to 7This utility model provides a technical solution: a waste heat recovery and utilization system for a printing workshop, comprising: a central pipe 1; a connecting pipe 4 welded and fixed to one side of the central pipe 1, the central pipe 1 being connected to multiple exhaust fans 3 via air ducts; a filter box 5 welded and fixed to one end of the connecting pipe 4, the filter box 5 having a filter screen 7 fixedly connected inside; a rotating disc 8 rotatably disposed on one side of the filter screen 7, the outer side of the rotating disc 8 being welded and fixed with a scraper 9 that cooperates with the filter screen 7; a bottom sealing box 15 installed at the bottom of the filter box 5 by bolts; a rotating part placed on the side of the filter screen 7 away from the rotating disc 8, the rotating disc 8 being connected to the rotating part; a diversion pipe 6 connected to the filter box 5 via air ducts; a first diversion pipe 18 fixedly connected to one side of the diversion pipe 6, the other side of the diversion pipe 6 having multiple second diversion pipes 19 fixedly connected; an exhaust pipe 20 fixedly connected to one end of the first diversion pipe 18, the top of the exhaust pipe 20 having a ventilation duct 21 fixedly connected, the exhaust pipe 20 and the ventilation duct 21 having multiple heat exchange fins 22 installed inside.

[0030] It should be noted that in this embodiment, each exhaust fan 3 is connected to the connecting pipe 4 via a duct. The exhaust fans 3 are directed at the heat source of the printing press, the exhaust vent of the drying chamber, and the UV curing equipment. The heat source of the printing press includes the motor, ink heating system, and drying device, which generate a large amount of heat during operation. Exhaust fans 3 are installed at the exhaust vent of the drying equipment, such as heat pipe heat exchangers or plate heat exchangers, to recover the heat from the exhaust air. The UV curing equipment uses ultraviolet light to rapidly cure the ink. During the curing process, the ultraviolet lamps generate a large amount of heat, and the ink curing also releases some heat. The exhaust fans 3 collect and process the heat from these locations, and the hot air is then circulated through the exhaust pipe. The hot air enters the connecting pipe 4 through the central pipe 1, and then enters the filter box 5 through the connecting pipe 4. The hot air is filtered by the sealing frame 16 inside the filter box 5. The output of the motor 14 drives the worm gear 13 to rotate, which in turn drives the meshing worm wheel 12. The worm wheel 12, in turn, drives the inner rotating rod 11 to rotate and adjust. The rotating rod 11 drives the rotating disk 8 and the scraper 9 to rotate. The scraper 9 scrapes away impurities filtered from one side of the filter screen 7 to prevent severe blockage that could affect the ventilation efficiency of the filter screen 7, thus cleaning the filter screen 7. The collected hot air is then split into two streams: the first split pipe 18 and the second split pipe 19 on both sides of the split pipe 6. The process is controlled by an electronic system. Valve 23 controls ventilation. Hot air from the first branch pipe 18 enters the exhaust pipe 20 and is heated by the heat exchange fins 22 within the exhaust pipe 20. Ventilation duct 21 ventilates the printing workshop. The printing workshop needs to maintain a certain temperature in winter to ensure the normal operation of equipment and the comfort of employees. The air blown into the printing workshop from the ventilation duct 21 is heated by the heat exchange fins 22, providing a heat source for the workshop's heating system and reducing reliance on traditional heating equipment. Utilizing recovered waste heat to preheat the cold air entering the workshop reduces the impact of indoor and outdoor temperature differences on the workshop temperature. Heated air is supplied through the second branch pipe 19. During the printing process, ink preparation needs to be carried out at a certain temperature to ensure the performance and quality of the ink. The recovered waste heat can be used to preheat the raw materials required for ink preparation, reducing energy consumption. The recovered waste heat is transferred to the ink preparation tank or ink raw material storage tank through a heat exchanger, so that the ink raw materials reach a suitable temperature before preparation. Cleaning of printing equipment requires the use of cleaning solvents. In low-temperature environments, the fluidity of cleaning solvents will decrease, and the cleaning effect will also be affected. Using the recovered waste heat to heat the cleaning solvent can improve cleaning efficiency and effect. Heating devices are installed in the cleaning solvent storage tank and cleaning equipment, and the recovered waste heat provides a heat source for the heating devices, keeping the cleaning solvent at a suitable temperature.

[0031] In one embodiment, such as Figure 6 and Figure 7As shown, the rotating part includes a side fixing box 10, which is fixedly connected to one side of the filter screen 7. A rotating rod 11 is rotatably arranged inside the side fixing box 10. The rotating rod 11 is rotatably connected to the filter screen 7. One end of the rotating rod 11 is fixedly connected to the rotating disk 8. A worm gear 12 is fixedly connected to the outside of the rotating rod 11. A worm 13 is rotatably arranged inside the side fixing box 10. The worm 13 is meshed with the worm gear 12 and is rotatably connected to the filter box 5.

[0032] It should be noted that in this embodiment, when the worm gear 13 rotates, it drives the meshing worm wheel 12 to rotate. When the worm wheel 12 rotates, it drives the inner rotating rod 11 to rotate and adjust. The rotating rod 11 drives the rotating disk 8 and the scraper 9 to rotate and adjust. The scraper 9 completes the scraping of impurities on one side of the filter screen 7.

[0033] In one embodiment, such as Figures 1 to 7 As shown, a motor 14 is installed on the top of the filter box 5, and the output end of the motor 14 is fixedly connected to the worm gear 13.

[0034] It should be noted that in this embodiment, the worm gear 13 is rotated and adjusted by the output end of the motor 14, and the rotation adjustment of the worm wheel 12 is completed by the worm gear 13.

[0035] In one embodiment, such as Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, a sealing frame 16 is fixed to the top of the bottom sealed box 15, and a bottom sealing groove 17 that cooperates with the sealing frame 16 is opened at the bottom of the filter box 5.

[0036] It should be noted that, in this embodiment, the sealing frame 16 at the top of the bottom sealing box 15 cooperates with the bottom sealing groove 17 at the bottom of the filter box 5 to seal the installation of the bottom sealing box 15.

[0037] In one embodiment, such as Figure 4 As shown, a protective net 2 is installed at the input end of the exhaust fan 3.

[0038] It should be noted that in this embodiment, the air inlet pipe of the exhaust fan 3 is protected by a protective net 2.
