Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of aluminum can production technology, and in particular relates to a drying machine for aluminum can production. Background Technology

[0002] Due to their portability, good sealing, environmental friendliness, recyclability, low production cost, strong light-blocking properties, and high durability, aluminum cans are widely used in the packaging industry. Beverages produced cans are packaged in them for convenient transportation. After the filling process, the surface of the cans needs to be rinsed to ensure the quality of the beverage upon leaving the factory. After rinsing, some water will accumulate on the surface of the cans, which needs to be dried using a blower; otherwise, it will affect the subsequent coding effect.

[0003] A search revealed a drying machine disclosed in patent publication number CN219572576U. This machine is mounted on a conveyor belt and includes a drying assembly. The drying assembly comprises a U-shaped first housing with its open end facing the conveyor belt. Two fans are symmetrically arranged on the inner wall of the conveyor belt, with their outlets facing each other. This design improves the drying efficiency of aluminum cans and reduces the impact on the inkjet printing effect on the bottom of the cans.

[0004] However, the dryers made from aluminum cans still have the following shortcomings in actual use:

[0005] A production line is installed on the substrate to transport aluminum cans. A hot air blower is installed above the production line, with an air inlet pipe and an air jet pipe connected to it. The outlet of the air jet pipe is aligned with the aluminum cans on the production line. When the hot air blower is powered on, it draws gas into the air jet pipe. The gas inside the air jet pipe sprays onto the aluminum cans, drying the water on them. However, the short transport route of the aluminum cans reduces the time for cleaning the water on the cans, resulting in incomplete cleaning and reduced cleaning quality.

[0006] 2. Placing aluminum cans directly on the assembly line allows the line to transport them to the next workstation. However, the position of the cans cannot be fixed, causing them to tip over or even fall off the assembly line due to external forces during transport. This necessitates workers to rearrange the cans, reducing the efficiency of cleaning the water from the cans.

[0007] To address these issues, we provide a drying machine for aluminum can production. Utility Model Content

[0008] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a drying machine for aluminum can production. By setting up a material conveying component, the water on the aluminum can is dried more thoroughly, improving the quality of drying the water on the aluminum can. Furthermore, by setting up a positioning component, the stability of the aluminum can during transportation is improved, and the water on the aluminum can is dried more efficiently, thereby solving the technical problems mentioned in the background art.

[0009] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0010] This utility model relates to a drying machine for producing aluminum cans, comprising a base plate, a material conveying assembly on the upper surface of the base plate, the material conveying assembly including a lower conveyor belt disposed above the base plate, an upper conveyor belt disposed above the lower conveyor belt, and a guide frame overlapping the side of the upper conveyor belt; a positioning assembly is disposed on the upper conveyor belt, the positioning assembly including a mounting plate disposed on the upper conveyor belt, a screw threadedly connected to the outer wall of a sleeve fixed to the upper surface of the mounting plate, a movable clamp rotatably connected to the end of the screw located inside the sleeve, the lower surface of the movable clamp contacting the upper surface of the mounting plate, and a fixed clamp fixed to the upper surface of the mounting plate located inside the sleeve.

[0011] The present invention is further provided that the upper surface of the substrate is provided with an internal threaded through hole for threaded connection bolts.

[0012] The present invention is further configured such that the lower conveyor belt is internally connected to a lower driving roller and a lower driven roller, and short support plates are symmetrically rotatably connected to the peripheral sidewalls of the lower driving roller and the lower driven roller. The short support plates are fixed to the upper surface of the substrate, and a forward motor is installed on the sidewall of the short support plate. The output end of the forward motor is connected to the end of the lower driving roller.

[0013] The present invention is further configured such that an upper driving roller and an upper driven roller are internally connected to the upper conveyor belt, and long support plates are symmetrically rotatably connected to the peripheral sidewalls of the upper driving roller and the upper driven roller. The long support plates are fixed to the upper surface of the substrate, and a reverse motor is installed on the sidewall of the long support plate. The output end of the reverse motor is connected to the end of the upper driving roller.

[0014] The present invention is further configured such that an upper guard plate and a lower guard plate are connected sequentially from top to bottom between the two long support plates, and an auxiliary guard plate is connected between the long support plate and the short support plate.

[0015] The present invention is further configured such that ear plates are fixedly connected to both sides of the guide frame, a connecting plate fixedly connected to the side wall of the ear plate is connected to the side wall of the upper guard plate, one side wall of the ear plate is connected to the short support plate, and the other side wall is connected to the long support plate, a baffle is connected to both side walls of the ear plates, and an anti-collision pad is provided on the side wall of the baffle.

[0016] The present invention is further configured such that a hot air blower is installed through the upper surface of the mounting frame installed on the upper surface of the substrate, an air inlet pipe is connected to the upper surface of the hot air blower, a three-way pipe is connected to the lower surface of the hot air blower, and both ends of the three-way pipe are closed, a connecting pipe is connected to the side wall of the three-way pipe, a branch pipe is connected to the side wall of the connecting pipe, and a fixing plate sleeved on the side wall of the connecting pipe is installed on the side wall of the upper guard plate.

[0017] The present invention is further configured such that a rubber pad is provided on the lower surface of the mounting plate, and both the movable clamp and the fixed clamp are arc-shaped structures.

[0018] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0019] This invention utilizes a material conveying assembly. A hot air blower, a forward motor, and a reverse motor are energized to draw gas into the inlet pipe. The gas inside the inlet pipe passes through the hot air blower and a three-way pipe into the connecting pipe. The gas inside the connecting pipe is sprayed onto the cans on the lower conveyor belt. Another portion of the gas inside the connecting pipe enters the branch pipe, which sprays onto the cans on the upper conveyor belt, drying the water on both the upper and lower conveyor belts. The moving upper conveyor belt transports the cans to the guide frame, where they are guided to the lower conveyor belt. This extended movement path of the cans allows for more thorough drying, improving drying quality. Furthermore, the material conveying assembly has a small footprint.

[0020] This invention uses a positioning component to place the can on a mounting plate. By rotating the screw clockwise, the movable clamp moves closer to the fixed clamp, fixing the can's position on the mounting plate. This improves the stability of the can during transportation, preventing it from tipping over or even falling, allowing for smoother transport and more efficient drying of the can.

[0021] Of course, any product implementing this utility model does not necessarily need to achieve all of the advantages described above at the same time. Attached Figure Description
