However, some moisture will remain on the surface of the board. This moisture will hinder the smooth evaporation of the moisture inside the board during the drying process, causing the moisture to be "locked" inside the board. This results in the dried board having insufficient hardness and poor strength. To address this problem, this utility model proposes an automatic drying device for flexible plate making that can solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0034] Example 3 provides an automatic drying device for flexographic plate making:

[0035] The drying oven 10 is equipped with a drawer 11 that can be pulled outwards. The drawer 11 has ventilation grooves and a support plate 20 for supporting multiple sets of boards is slidably connected to the drawer 11. The support plate 20 has multiple through holes 22 evenly distributed. Multiple sets of boards are placed on the support plate 20 at horizontal intervals. The drying oven 10 generates hot air by electric heating, which can dry the boards and remove moisture in the inner cavity. The drying oven 10 can be set with drying temperature and drying time to achieve automatic drying.

[0036] A lifting cylinder 30 is installed on the outer wall of the drying oven 10. The movable rod of the lifting cylinder 30 is connected to the frame 31. A cover 32 is provided on the lower side of the frame 31, which can cover a set of plates. A blower 33 is provided inside the cover 32. A traction rod 331 is connected to the top of the blower 33. The traction rod 331 has a rotating ball that is movably connected to the frame 31. The frame 31 is equipped with a swing assembly. The swing assembly is used to drive the blower 33 to swing back and forth. The swing assembly includes a drive motor 34. The output end of the drive motor 34 is connected to a crossbar 341.

When replacing, the moisture-absorbing cotton layer 321 can be picked up and put down by pushing the clamping strip 352 to rotate. After the moisture is removed from the multiple sets of boards placed on the tray 20, the water flowing to the underside of the tray 20 through the through hole 22 is scraped off by pushing the scraper 23 to move, so that it will not be carried into the drying oven 10.

[0041] Working principle:

[0042] This drying device is used in a cleanroom. In the preparation stage before drying, the drawer 11 is pulled outwards. After washing, multiple sets of boards are placed horizontally at intervals on the tray 20 with the backing layer of the boards facing down. Then, the tray 20 is slid horizontally to move a set of boards under the cover 32. The lifting cylinder 30 drives the frame 31 to move downwards, so that the cover 32 covers the set of boards, separating the set of boards from the others. The drive motor 34 drives the crossbar 341 to rotate. The crossbar 341 drives the traction rod 331 to rotate around the output section of the drive motor 34, causing the traction rod 331 to drive the blower 33 to swing. The blower 33 operates through its built-in power supply to reciprocate the printing surface of the covered board, effectively removing residual moisture. The moisture is blown outwards and splashes. Some of it is absorbed by the moisture-absorbing cotton layer 321, and the rest is discharged through the through hole 22 on the tray 20. This removes moisture from the boards before drying, allowing the moisture inside the boards to evaporate smoothly during the drying process, effectively improving the quality of the boards after drying.

[0043] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
