RECORDING APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18621307 titled 'RECORDING APPARATUS
The drying unit described in the patent application consists of multiple spaces, nozzles, air blowing units, a heater, and air blowing units that work together to dry materials efficiently.
- The first space contains a first nozzle and a first air blowing unit that supplies air to the first nozzle.
- Adjacent to the first space is the second space, which contains a second nozzle and a heater that heats the air inside this space.
- The second air blowing unit supplies the heated air to the second nozzle for drying purposes.
- A third space is provided adjacent to the second space, and a third air blowing unit sucks air from this space and exhausts it outside of the drying unit.
- The direction in which air is blown out from the first nozzle has a component directed toward the second space in the conveyance direction.
Potential Applications: - This drying unit can be used in industrial settings for drying various materials such as textiles, food products, or chemicals. - It can also be utilized in agricultural processes for drying crops or seeds.
Problems Solved: - The drying unit addresses the need for an efficient and effective drying process for various materials. - It provides a controlled environment for drying, ensuring optimal results.
Benefits: - Faster drying times due to the combination of heated air and controlled airflow. - Energy efficiency with the use of heaters and air blowing units. - Improved quality of dried materials with the precise control of the drying process.
Commercial Applications: - Industrial drying processes in manufacturing plants. - Agricultural drying applications in farms or food processing facilities.
Questions about the Drying Unit: 1. How does the direction of airflow from the first nozzle towards the second space improve the drying process? 2. What are the specific industries that can benefit the most from using this drying unit technology?
Original Abstract Submitted
A drying unit has: a first space; a first nozzle provided in the first space; a first air blowing unit that supplies air inside of the first space to the first nozzle; a second space provided adjacent to the first space on a downstream side in a conveyance direction of the first space and communicates with the first space; a second nozzle provided in the second space; a heater that heats air inside of the second space; a second air blowing unit that supplies the heated air to the second nozzle; a third space provided adjacent to the second space; and a third air blowing unit that sucks air inside of the third space and exhausts the air to outside of the drying unit. A direction in which air is blown out from the first nozzle has a component directed toward the second space in the conveyance direction.
