Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of drying equipment technology, specifically a water-based paint drying equipment. Background Technology
[0002] Water-based paint is a type of coating that uses water as a diluent and does not contain organic solvents. It is free of benzene, toluene, xylene, formaldehyde, free TDI, and toxic heavy metals. It is non-toxic, odorless, harmless to the human body, and does not pollute the environment. The paint film is full, crystal clear, and flexible. It is also water-resistant, wear-resistant, aging-resistant, yellowing-resistant, fast-drying, and easy to use. It can be used on various materials such as wood, metal, plastic, glass, and building surfaces. To accelerate the drying speed of water-based paint on boards, the boards need to be placed inside a drying equipment for drying treatment.
[0003] During the operation of existing tunnel drying equipment, when the workpiece is heated inside the drying tunnel, the solvents and co-solvents in the water-based paint on its surface will evaporate rapidly due to the high temperature, forming a large amount of organic waste gas. Since the tunnel inlet and outlet lack effective sealing, these volatile gases can easily escape from the equipment inlet and outlet to the external working environment, causing a decline in air quality and posing a potential threat to the health of operators. Furthermore, the escape of waste gas leads to the loss of heat energy inside the drying tunnel, reducing energy utilization efficiency and increasing operating costs. Utility Model Content

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: A water-based paint drying device includes a main body, on which a conveyor belt and a drying chamber are respectively arranged. The drying chamber is located above the conveyor belt. A drying mechanism is arranged inside the drying chamber. The main body is provided with a gas collection and circulation mechanism for filtering and circulating the exhaust gas at the inlet and outlet of the drying chamber. The gas collection and circulation mechanism includes an intake end, a purification box, a fan, and an outlet end.
[0006] Preferably, the air intake end is located at the inlet and outlet of the drying chamber, and an air duct is provided on the air intake end, with one end of the air duct extending into the interior of the purification chamber.

[0017] Please see Figure 1-3A water-based paint drying device includes a main body 1, on which a conveyor belt 2 and a drying chamber 3 are respectively installed. The drying chamber 3 is located above the conveyor belt 2, and a drying mechanism 4 is installed inside the drying chamber 3. The main body 1 is equipped with a gas collection and circulation mechanism for filtering and circulating the exhaust gas at the inlet and outlet of the drying chamber 3. The gas collection and circulation mechanism includes an intake end 5, a purification box 6, a fan 18, and an outlet end 8. The main body 1 is the basic frame of the entire device, supporting the conveyor belt 2, the drying chamber 3, and various auxiliary mechanisms, providing overall support and structural fixation, ensuring the relative position stability of each component, and ensuring the structural stability of the device during operation. The conveyor belt 2 is responsible for transporting the workpiece, ensuring that the workpiece coated with water-based paint to be dried is smoothly and continuously fed into the drying chamber 3 for drying. The drying process involves drying the workpiece and then outputting it from the drying chamber 3 after drying, thus achieving automated continuous production. The drying chamber 3 forms a relatively enclosed drying space, providing a suitable environment for the drying of water-based paint and reducing the interference of external environmental factors (such as temperature, humidity, and airflow) on the drying process. At the same time, it centrally houses the drying mechanism 4 and the air outlet 8, ensuring that heat and treated air can efficiently act on the workpiece. The drying mechanism 4 is the core heating component of the equipment. By releasing heat, it increases the temperature inside the drying chamber 3, providing energy for the evaporation of moisture in the water-based paint and the curing of the paint film. It is the key to achieving the drying function. The air collection and circulation mechanism is responsible for collecting, purifying, treating, and recycling the exhaust gas at the inlet and outlet of the drying chamber 3. This not only reduces the pollution of the environment caused by direct exhaust gas emissions but also recovers and utilizes the heat in the air, reducing energy consumption.
[0018] Please see Figure 3 The suction end 5 is located at the inlet and outlet of the drying chamber 3. A duct 9 is installed on the suction end 5, and one end of the duct 9 extends into the interior of the purification box 6. The suction end 5 is located at the inlet and outlet of the drying chamber 3 to collect the exhaust gas overflowing from the inlet and outlet during the drying process, preventing the exhaust gas from being directly discharged into the external environment and causing pollution. The duct 9 is used to transport the exhaust gas collected by the suction end 5 to the purification box 6, serving as a bridge connecting the suction end 5 and the purification box 6, and realizing the directional transmission of exhaust gas.
[0019] Please see Figure 3The top of the drying chamber 3 is equipped with multiple sets of purification boxes 6. Inside each purification box 6 are dehumidifying plates 10 for absorbing moisture from the exhaust gas and activated carbon filter plates 11 for preliminary filtration of harmful substances in the air. The purification box 6 also contains a distribution plate 12 for evenly distributing the exhaust gas from the duct 9 to the dehumidifying plates 10. Multiple sets of ducts 13 are installed on the purification box 6. The purification box 6 serves as a container for preliminary treatment of the exhaust gas. The dehumidifying plates 10, activated carbon filter plates 11, and distribution plates 12 work together. The system completes the dehumidification and preliminary purification of the exhaust gas, laying the foundation for subsequent deep treatment. The dehumidification plate 10 adsorbs the moisture in the exhaust gas, reducing the humidity of the exhaust gas and preventing high humidity air from circulating back to the drying chamber 3 and affecting the drying efficiency of the water-based paint. The activated carbon filter plate 11 uses the adsorption properties of activated carbon to perform preliminary filtration of harmful substances in the exhaust gas and remove some pollutants. The diversion plate 12 evenly disperses the exhaust gas transported by the air duct 9 onto the dehumidification plate 10, avoiding uneven dehumidification and filtration caused by the concentrated impact of exhaust gas on a certain area, and improving the treatment efficiency of the purification box 6.
[0020] Please see Figure 3 The top of the drying chamber 3 is also equipped with a box 7. The interior of the box 7 is divided into a first chamber 14 and a second chamber 15 by a partition. One end of the second air duct 13 extends into the interior of the first chamber 14. The interior of the first chamber 14 is equipped with multiple sets of high-energy ultraviolet lamps 16. The box 7 is divided into the first chamber 14 and the second chamber 15 by the partition, providing a closed space for the deep treatment of waste gas. At the same time, it realizes the zoning of different purification processes and ensures that the treatment process is carried out in an orderly manner. The ultraviolet rays emitted by the high-energy ultraviolet lamps 16 can destroy the molecular structure of residual organic pollutants in the waste gas, decompose them into harmless substances, realize the deep purification of waste gas, and make up for the limitations of activated carbon adsorption. The second air duct 13 transports the waste gas that has been pre-treated by the first purification box 6 to the first chamber 14 of the box 7 to realize the further transmission of waste gas.
[0021] Please see Figure 3The interior of chamber 2 15 is equipped with a purification box 2 17 and multiple sets of fans 18. The purification box 2 17 is connected to the interior of chamber 1 14. The purification box 2 17 is equipped with multiple sets of activated carbon filter plates 2 19. The air inlet of the fans 18 extends into the interior of the purification box 2 17, and the air outlet of the fans 18 is connected to a duct 3 20. One end of the duct 3 20 is connected to the air inlet of the air outlet 8. The air outlet 8 is located inside the drying chamber 3 and on both sides of the drying mechanism 4. The air outlet 8 is equipped with multiple sets of air outlets 21. The purification box 2 17 and the activated carbon filter plates 2 19 further filter the air after ultraviolet decomposition, further adsorbing residual trace elements. To ensure the cleanliness of the air circulating back to the drying chamber 3, the fan 18 provides the power for air circulation. The purified air is drawn out from the purification box 17 by suction and then sent into the drying chamber 3 through the air duct 20 and the air outlet 8, forming a complete airflow circulation. The air outlet 8 and the air outlet 21 are used to evenly send the purified air back into the drying chamber 3 and distribute it on both sides of the drying mechanism 4, so that the dry clean air can fully contact the surface of the workpiece, assist in the evaporation of moisture, and at the same time maintain the airflow circulation in the drying chamber 3. The air duct 20 connects the air outlet of the fan 18 and the air inlet of the air outlet 8, and delivers the purified gas from the fan 18 to the air outlet 8.
[0022] Working principle: Workpieces coated with water-based paint are smoothly conveyed by conveyor belt 2 and sequentially enter the drying chamber 3 on the main body 1 of the equipment. The drying mechanism 4 inside the drying chamber 3 releases heat to increase the temperature inside the chamber, providing energy for the evaporation of water in the water-based paint and the curing of the paint film. During the drying process, the solvent and co-solvent in the water-based paint on the surface of the workpiece evaporate due to high temperature, forming organic waste gas. Some of the waste gas will escape from the inlet and outlet of the drying chamber 3. At this time, the suction end 5 set at the inlet and outlet of the drying chamber 3 will collect the escaped waste gas in time. The waste gas is transported to the purification box 6 through the air duct 9. The waste gas entering the purification box 6 is first evenly dispersed onto the dehumidification plate 10 by the diversion plate 12. The dehumidification plate 10 absorbs the moisture in the waste gas to reduce the humidity, and then passes through the activated carbon filter plate 11. The waste gas is initially filtered to remove harmful substances. After initial treatment, the waste gas enters the first chamber 14 of the box 7 through the second duct 13. Multiple sets of high-energy ultraviolet lamps 16 in the first chamber 14 emit ultraviolet rays to destroy the molecular structure of residual organic pollutants in the waste gas, decomposing them into harmless substances. The treated gas enters the purification box 17 in the second chamber 15 and is filtered again by the activated carbon filter plate 19 to further adsorb residual trace pollutants or decomposition products. Then, the fan 18 provides power to transport the purified air to the air outlet 8 through the third duct 20. The air outlet 8 sends the purified air back into the drying chamber 3 evenly through multiple sets of air outlets 21, and the air is distributed on both sides of the drying mechanism 4 to form a complete airflow circulation, which helps the drying of water-based paint on the surface of the workpiece.
