DRYING DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240308246 titled 'DRYING DEVICE
Simplified Explanation: The patent application describes a drying device that includes a conveying unit, a hot air blowing unit, a passage forming unit, and an adjusting unit. The hot air blowing unit blows hot air onto a medium to dry it, while the passage forming unit creates a circulation path for the air. The adjusting unit controls the amount of air supplied to the blowing unit.
- Conveying unit to move a medium with liquid discharged from a discharging head
- Hot air blowing unit with a blowing unit and a heating unit
- Passage forming unit to create a circulation path for air blown from the hot air blowing unit
- Adjusting unit to regulate the air supplied to the blowing unit
- Movable member in the adjusting unit to change the exhaust portion opening amount
Potential Applications: This technology can be used in industrial drying processes for various materials such as food, chemicals, and pharmaceuticals. It can also be applied in the textile industry for drying fabrics and garments.
Problems Solved: The device addresses the need for efficient and uniform drying of materials by controlling the airflow and temperature during the drying process. It ensures that the medium is dried effectively without causing damage or uneven drying.
Benefits: - Improved drying efficiency - Uniform drying results - Reduced energy consumption - Enhanced product quality
Commercial Applications: The technology can be utilized in food processing plants, pharmaceutical manufacturing facilities, textile factories, and other industrial settings where drying processes are essential. It can lead to cost savings and improved product quality.
Prior Art: Prior art related to this technology may include patents or research papers on drying devices with adjustable airflow control and circulation paths for efficient drying processes.
Frequently Updated Research: Researchers may be exploring ways to further optimize the airflow control and temperature regulation in drying devices to enhance drying efficiency and reduce drying times.
Questions about Drying Devices: 1. How does the adjustable airflow control in this drying device contribute to its efficiency? 2. What are the potential challenges in implementing this technology in large-scale industrial drying processes?
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.
