Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of pharmaceutical packaging box printing and processing technology, specifically to an ink drying device for pharmaceutical packaging box printing. Background Technology
[0002] The ink drying device for pharmaceutical packaging box printing is a piece of equipment specifically designed for the pharmaceutical packaging printing industry. It is mainly used to quickly and evenly dry the ink printed on the surface of packaging boxes (such as paper boxes, aluminum foil, plastic and other materials) to ensure the clarity, adhesion and hygiene safety of the printed pattern, while meeting the strict requirements of pharmaceutical packaging for production efficiency and compliance.
[0003] The existing technology has the following shortcomings: Application No. 202220431139.1 proposes a printing packaging box ink drying device, belonging to the field of drying device technology. The position of the dryer in the drying equipment is mostly fixed, making it impossible to evenly contact the heat generated by the dryer with the printing packaging box, resulting in poor drying effect. The proposed device includes a worktable with side plates evenly distributed and fixedly installed on one side. A transmission device is rotatably installed between the side plates. A drying chamber is fixedly installed on the side of the worktable near the side plates. By driving a crank to rotate, the crank causes an arc-shaped plate to reciprocate through a connecting rod and connecting groove. The arc-shaped plate causes the swing plate to reciprocate around the axis of rotation. The swing plate, through a U-shaped sleeve, causes the dryer body to reciprocate, ensuring that the heat generated by the dryer body evenly contacts the printing packaging box and dries the ink on the surface of the printing packaging box. This conveniently achieves the drying of the ink on the surface of the printing packaging box, thereby effectively improving the drying effect of the printing packaging box.
[0004] There are no restrictions on the drying body in the above-mentioned equipment. The existing equipment is divided into two categories according to different drying methods: UV curing and infrared drying. UV curing is suitable for UV inks, while infrared drying is suitable for water-based inks. The current equipment cannot simultaneously handle both UV curing and infrared drying, and its applicability can be further improved. At the same time, some UV inks contain a small amount of solvent (alcohol). UV curing only completes photopolymerization, and the residual solvent can easily cause the packaging box to stick together or produce an odor later. Utility Model Content

[0014] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model: the UV curing module, the infrared heating module and the fan are electrically connected to their respective control devices.
[0015] Compared with the prior art, this utility model provides an ink drying device for printing pharmaceutical packaging boxes, which has the following beneficial effects:
[0016] 1. This ink drying device for printing pharmaceutical packaging boxes comprises a drying chamber, a UV curing module, an infrared heating module, a lamp board, UV LED beads, and a carbon fiber infrared heating plate. The UV LED beads perform UV curing on the packaging boxes. If the packaging boxes are printed with water-based inks, the infrared heating module can be activated, and the carbon fiber infrared heating plate generates high temperatures to dry the water-based inks on the packaging boxes. Different drying methods can be used depending on the type of ink actually used in the packaging boxes, thus improving the applicability of the equipment.
[0017] 2. This ink drying device for printing pharmaceutical packaging boxes includes a heating chamber, an electric heating tube, a fan, and an air outlet assembly. When UV curing the packaging box using UV LED beads, the fan outputs air that is heated by the heating chamber. The generated hot air then enters the air outlet assembly through the exhaust port. The hot air acts on the drying chamber through the first and second air outlets. The hot air can heat and evaporate the small amount of solvent (alcohol) contained in the UV ink, preventing the packaging box from sticking and developing odors later. Attached Figure Description

[0028] In this embodiment, the UV curing module 4 and the infrared heating module 5 are both fixedly installed on the drying chamber 3, the heating chamber 6 is fixedly installed on the top of the drying chamber 3, the support plate 2 is fixedly installed on both sides of the conveying device 1, the drying chamber 3 is fixedly installed on the top of the support plate 2, the output end of the fan 7 is fixedly connected to the air inlet 601, the electric heating tube 603 is fixedly installed in the heating chamber 6, and the exhaust port 602 extends into the drying chamber 3 and communicates with the air outlet assembly 12.
[0029] Specifically, the exhaust vent 602 facilitates the input of heated air from the heating chamber 6 into the air outlet assembly 12.
[0030] In this embodiment, the first air outlet 13 and the second air outlet 14 are both connected to the air outlet assembly 12. The lamp board 9 is fixedly installed in the UV curing module 4.

At the same time, the hot air can also assist the infrared heating module 5 to further improve the drying efficiency of the infrared heating module 5.
