DRYING DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18600388 titled 'DRYING DEVICE
The patent application describes a drying device with a conveying unit, a hot air blowing unit, a passage forming unit, and an adjusting unit.
- The hot air blowing unit consists of a blowing unit and a heating unit.
- The passage forming unit creates a circulation path for air blown from the hot air blowing unit to circulate.
- The adjusting unit regulates the amount of air supplied to the blowing unit from outside the circulation path.
- The circulation path includes an introduction portion and an exhaust portion.
- The adjusting unit includes a movable member that alters the exhaust portion opening amount.
Potential Applications: - Industrial drying processes - Food processing industry - Pharmaceutical industry for drying medications
Problems Solved: - Efficient drying of materials - Control of air circulation for optimal drying results
Benefits: - Faster drying times - Energy efficiency - Improved product quality
Commercial Applications: Title: Advanced Drying Device for Industrial Use This technology can be used in various industries such as food processing, pharmaceuticals, and manufacturing for efficient drying processes, leading to cost savings and improved productivity.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the adjustable air circulation system improve drying efficiency? 2. What are the potential cost savings associated with using this drying device?
Original Abstract Submitted
A drying device includes a conveying unit to convey a medium to which liquid is discharged from a discharging head, a hot air blowing unit, a passage forming unit, and an adjusting unit. The hot air blowing unit includes a blowing unit, and a heating unit. The passage forming unit forms, between the hot air blowing unit and a region on a conveyance path of the conveying unit, a circulation path through which air blown from the hot air blowing unit is to be circulated. The adjusting unit adjusts an amount of air outside the circulation path that is supplied to the blowing unit. The circulation path includes an introduction portion, and an exhaust portion. The adjusting unit includes a movable member that changes an exhaust portion opening amount.
