Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a hot air drying device.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, there has been a hot air dryer 110 as shown in FIGS. In this hot air drying device 110, a heat source 114 such as a heater is provided inside a device main body 112, and circulation fans 116 are arranged on both left and right sides of a belt-like material A running in the device main body 112.

Further, in the inside of the apparatus main body 112,
A plurality of hot air jet nozzles 118 are arranged so as to face the strip A. Note that reference numeral 120 is a guide duct, which is heated by the heat source 114 and is a circulation fan 116.
Is for guiding the hot air sent out by the hot air jet nozzle 118.

That is, the air heated by the heat source 114 is taken into the guide duct 120 as hot air by the circulation fan 116, and then the hot air jet nozzle 11
8, the hot air jet nozzle 118 sprays the traveling strip A to dry the strip A.

The hot air jetted toward the strip A is used after drying the strip A, but reaches the heat source 114 by the suction of the circulation fan 116 as the return air 122, and here it is used. It will be heated and will be circulated again as hot air.

However, in the hot air drying device 110 having the circulating fans 116 provided on both the left and right sides of the traveling strip A as described above, the inside of the device main body 112 is divided into the right side and the left side. There is a drawback that various circulatory systems occur. That is, the right circulation fan 116
Most of the hot air sprayed onto the strip A by the heat passes through the heat source 114 as the return air 122 and is heated.
After that, it returns to the right circulation fan 116 as hot air again. The same applies to the hot air blown by the left circulation fan 116, and returns to the left circulation fan 116.

In addition to the above-mentioned drawbacks, due to partial heat generation unevenness in the heat source 114 and other causes, a problem gradually arises that a temperature difference begins to occur between the hot air flowing through the right circulation system and the hot air flowing through the left circulation system. It was

If a temperature difference occurs in the hot air inside the same main body, the band-shaped material A as the object to be processed may be unevenly dried, which may lead to defective products.

Such drying unevenness due to the temperature difference is serious when the strip A is a thin film plastic film, and when the film is dried, the temperature difference inside the apparatus main body 112 is 2%. Unless the temperature is kept below ℃, defective products will be generated.
