[0002]目前市面上写真打印烘干大多数为红外灯管加热,存在以下问题:一、干燥不均匀,有质量风险
[0007] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: First, the drying quality of the image is improved by using this dryer. The surface heating of the graphene plate ensures a uniform heat distribution across the entire width of the image, thereby achieving uniform curing of the ink from the inside out, resulting in a smooth image, strong adhesion, and long-lasting color. The fan 2 circulates airflow to repeatedly utilize the heat within the cavity, and the first graphene heating plate 3 and the second graphene heating plate 7 heat both sides of the image within the cavity, further improving the uniformity of heating and enhancing the output image quality. Second, energy efficiency is improved and energy consumption is reduced. This application uses a closed drying system, which retains most of the heat within the cavity of the shell. The fan 2 circulates airflow to repeatedly utilize the heat within the cavity. Furthermore, the energy-saving characteristics of the graphene heating method have a beneficial impact on the usage scenario. More than 90% of the heat generated by the graphene heating method acts on the substrate fabric surface, with less than 10% escaping into the air; this significantly saves electricity costs and reduces energy consumption. Third, the working environment for operators is improved. Because most of the heat is contained within the outer casing 1, it does not dissipate significantly into the surrounding environment, resulting in a suitable ambient temperature at the operating site. This is particularly beneficial for smaller individual printing shops where the working environment temperature is more comfortable. Fourth, graphene heating plates have a long service life and require no maintenance. Graphene material has good stability and slow degradation, with a service life exceeding 10,000 hours, essentially requiring no maintenance.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of printing equipment technology, specifically to a dryer that uses a graphene heating plate for drying and heating, and this dryer has energy-saving characteristics. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, most photo printer drying systems on the market use infrared lamps for heating, which presents the following problems: 1. Uneven drying, posing quality risks. This can easily cause localized deformation and edge curling of the material, and the ink may dry on the surface but not on the underlying layer, affecting adhesion. 2. High energy consumption. Energy utilization efficiency is only about 30%, resulting in high electricity costs. 3. Safety hazards. The surface temperature of the lamp can reach several hundred degrees Celsius, easily causing burns or fires; strong infrared light may also damage the eyes. 4. Harsh working environment. Radiation significantly increases the ambient temperature around the equipment, especially increasing the air conditioning load in summer. 5. Short lamp lifespan. Lamp tubes are consumables with a lifespan of only about 4000 hours, requiring regular inspection and replacement.
[0003] To address the above technical deficiencies, there is a need to develop a safe, reliable, efficient, and energy-saving dryer. Utility Model Content
