[0065] Colored glaze glass is widely used in modern architecture and decoration. Its unique beauty and durability make it the preferred material for many high-end projects. However, in the silk-screen printing process of colored glaze glass, uneven ink consistency is a common problem, which directly affects the printing quality and the final effect of the product. Traditional ink mixing methods usually rely on manual operation to manually adjust the viscosity of the ink to meet printing requirements. This method has the following shortcomings:
[0066] 1. High dependence: The traditional ink mixing process requires extremely high experience and technical level of the operator. Any carelessness will lead to uneven ink consistency.
[0067] 2. Poor consistency: Due to the uncertainty of manual operation, the consistency of ink between different batches is difficult to ensure, resulting in unstable printing quality.
[0068] 3. Inefficiency: Manually mixing ink is time-consuming and labor-intensive, especially in mass production, where inefficiency becomes an obvious bottleneck.
[0069] 4. Difficult control: It is difficult to achieve precise viscosity control by manual operation, which leads to difficulties in quality control and increases the scrap rate.
[0070] Therefore, there is an urgent need for an intelligent mixer for glazed glass silk-screen printing to solve at least one of the above problems.
[0071] See also Figures 1 to 3The present application provides an intelligent mixer for silk-screen printing of colored glaze glass. The present application provides an intelligent mixer for silk-screen printing of colored glaze glass, comprising: a plurality of material barrels 4, each of which is used to place an ink material corresponding to silk-screen printing of colored glaze glass; an intelligent conduit assembly 5, the intelligent conduit assembly 5 comprising a plurality of feed holes and a discharge hole, each of which is connected to a material barrel 4, and the intelligent conduit assembly 5 stores the material type corresponding to the material barrel 4 connected to each feed hole; a stirring barrel, the stirring barrel comprising a feed port and a discharge port, the discharge port being connected to the feed port; a stirring rod 7, the stirring rod 7 being arranged in the stirring barrel; a viscosity sensor, the viscosity sensor being arranged in the stirring rod 7; a control The controller 6 is electrically connected to the intelligent conduit assembly 5, the stirring rod 7 and the viscosity sensor. The controller 6 is used to obtain the silk-screen information corresponding to the colored glaze glass, determine the ink material ratio corresponding to the colored glaze glass according to the silk-screen information, determine the target feed hole among the multiple feed holes according to the ink material ratio and the multiple material types stored in the intelligent conduit assembly 5, open the target feed hole so that the ink material flows into the stirring barrel through the intelligent conduit assembly 5, the controller 6 determines the target ink viscosity according to the silk-screen information, controls the stirring rod 7 to stir according to the real-time viscosity measured by the viscosity sensor and the target ink viscosity, so that the stirred ink flows out through the discharge port to complete the silk-screen printing on the colored glaze glass.
[0072] Specifically, the present application provides an intelligent mixer for colored glaze glass screen printing, which aims to solve the problems of high dependence, poor batch consistency, low efficiency and difficult control in the traditional ink mixing process. The main technical contents of the intelligent mixer are as follows:
[0073] Multiple material barrels 4: each material barrel 4 is used to place a type of ink material, and different material barrels 4 store different types of ink materials to meet the needs of different colored glaze glass screen printing.
[0074] Smart conduit assembly 5: The smart conduit assembly 5 includes a plurality of feed holes and a discharge hole. Each feed hole is connected to a material barrel 4 and stores the material type information corresponding to the material barrel 4. The smart conduit assembly 5 can select to open the corresponding feed hole according to the instruction of the controller 6 to transport the required ink material to the mixing barrel.
[0075] Stirring barrel: The stirring barrel is used to mix different ink materials. The stirring barrel includes a feed port and a discharge port. The feed port is connected to the discharge hole of the intelligent conduit assembly 5, and the discharge port is used to output the stirred ink.
[0076] Stirring rod 7: The stirring rod 7 is arranged in the stirring barrel, and performs stirring operation through the instruction of the controller 6 to ensure that the ink material is mixed evenly.
[0077] Viscosity sensor: The viscosity sensor is arranged in the stirring rod 7 to monitor the viscosity of the ink in real time. The viscosity sensor sends the real-time viscosity data to the controller 6, and the controller 6 adjusts the stirring speed and time of the stirring rod 7 according to the target viscosity and the real-time viscosity.
[0078] Controller 6: Controller 6 is the core of the entire intelligent mixer, responsible for obtaining the silk-screen information corresponding to the colored glaze glass, determining the ratio of the ink material according to the silk-screen information, and controlling the operation of the intelligent conduit assembly 5, the stirring rod 7 and the viscosity sensor. Controller 6 also adjusts the stirring parameters of the stirring rod 7 according to the real-time data of the viscosity sensor to ensure that the ink viscosity reaches the target value.
[0079] For example, suppose a batch of colored glaze glass needs to be screen printed, and the screen printing information requires that the ink viscosity is 2000 cP, and three ink materials A, B, and C need to be mixed, with the ratios of 40%, 30%, and 30%, respectively. The user inputs the screen printing information of the colored glaze glass through the operation interface or the system, including the required ink viscosity and material ratio. The controller 6 determines the ratio of the three ink materials A, B, and C according to the input screen printing information, such as Figure 2 As shown, the feed holes a, b, and c in the intelligent conduit assembly 5 are opened accordingly. The feed holes a, b, and c respectively deliver the three ink materials A, B, and C to the stirring barrel in proportion. The stirring rod 7 starts to work, and the controller 6 adjusts the stirring speed and time of the stirring rod 7 according to the real-time data of the viscosity sensor to ensure that the ink viscosity gradually approaches the target value of 2000 cP. The viscosity sensor continuously monitors the viscosity of the ink and feeds the data back to the controller 6. When the ink viscosity reaches the target value, the controller 6 stops the stirring operation. The stirred ink flows out through the discharge port to complete the silk screen printing on the colored glaze glass.
[0080] Through the precise control of the intelligent catheter assembly 5 and the controller 6, the viscosity and proportion of different batches of ink can be highly consistent, avoiding the instability caused by traditional manual operation. The automated mixing and stirring process greatly reduces the time and labor intensity of manual operation and improves production efficiency, especially in mass production. The real-time monitoring of the viscosity sensor and the dynamic adjustment of the controller 6 ensure that the viscosity of the ink always meets the requirements, thereby reducing the scrap rate caused by uneven viscosity. The user only needs to input the silk screen information, and the entire mixing process is automatically completed by the controller 6, reducing the dependence on the operator's experience and skills and improving the ease of use of the system. The intelligent mixer can add more material barrels 4 and feed holes as needed to support more types of ink materials and complex proportioning requirements. The intelligent mixer effectively solves many problems in traditional ink mixing through intelligent control and monitoring methods, and provides a more reliable and efficient solution for glazed glass silk screen printing.
[0081] In some embodiments, the mixing barrel includes: a circular barrel body 1, in which the ink material is stirred; a circular barrel cover 2, which is arranged on the top of the circular barrel body 1 and has the feed port; and an oil outlet funnel, which is arranged on the bottom of the circular barrel body 1 and includes the discharge port.
[0082] The ink material is stirred in the circular barrel body 1. The design of the circular barrel body 1 helps the ink material to be evenly distributed during the stirring process, reducing dead corners and uneven mixing. The circular barrel cover 2 is arranged on the top of the circular barrel body 1, and the barrel cover is provided with the feed port. The design of the circular barrel cover 2 can effectively prevent the ink material from overflowing during the stirring process, and is easy to clean and maintain. The oil outlet funnel is arranged at the bottom of the circular barrel body 1, and the oil outlet funnel includes the outlet port. The design of the oil outlet funnel helps the ink material to flow out smoothly, reduces blockage and residue, and ensures the output quality of the ink.
[0083] The circular design helps the ink material flow more smoothly in the barrel, so that the stirring rod 7 can mix the ink material more evenly during the stirring process, reduce the mixing dead angle, and improve the uniformity of the ink. The oil outlet funnel design at the bottom makes the ink material more concentrated and smooth when it flows out, reduces the ink residue at the bottom of the barrel, and ensures that each batch of ink can be fully used to avoid waste. The circular design of the barrel cover is not only convenient for closing and opening, but also effectively prevents the ink material from overflowing during the stirring process, keeping the working environment clean. At the same time, the design of the barrel cover is easy to clean and maintain, reducing the workload and maintenance costs of operators. The bottom design of the oil outlet funnel makes it easier to clean the ink when it flows out, reduces the accumulation of residues, and extends the service life of the equipment.
[0084] The feed port is arranged on the circular barrel cover 2, and the discharge port is arranged in the oil discharge funnel, so that the input and output of the ink material are more convenient and efficient. The operator can complete the feeding and taking operations of the ink material more quickly, thereby improving production efficiency.
[0085] Assume that in actual operation, three ink materials A, B, and C need to be mixed into an ink with a viscosity of 2000 cP. The specific operation steps are as follows: Place the three ink materials A, B, and C in three material barrels 4 respectively. Input the silk screen information of the colored glaze glass through the operation interface or system, including the required ink viscosity of 2000 cP and the ink material ratio of 40% A, 30% B, and 30% C. According to the input silk screen information, the controller 6 opens the feed holes a, b, and c in the intelligent conduit assembly 5, and delivers the three ink materials A, B, and C to the stirring barrel in proportion. The stirring rod 7 starts to work, and the ink material is stirred in the circular barrel body 1. During the stirring process, the viscosity sensor monitors the viscosity of the ink in real time and feeds the data back to the controller 6. According to the real-time data of the viscosity sensor, the controller 6 dynamically adjusts the stirring speed and time of the stirring rod 7 to ensure that the ink viscosity gradually approaches 2000 cP. When the ink viscosity reaches the target value of 2000 cP, the controller 6 stops the stirring operation. The ink flows out smoothly through the discharge port of the oil discharge funnel, completing the silk screen printing on the colored glaze glass. After the operation is completed, the round barrel cover 2 can be easily opened to clean and maintain the mixing barrel to ensure the long-term stable operation of the equipment.
[0086] Through the improved design of this embodiment, the intelligent mixer is not only more functional, but also provides higher reliability and convenience in actual operation, further improving the production quality and efficiency of colored glaze glass silk screen printing.
[0087] Exemplarily, the controller 6 is electrically connected to the stirring rod 7 via the center of the circular barrel cover (such as the controller 6 is electrically connected to the stirring rod 7 via the motor 3 disposed at the center), so as to control the stirring rod 7 to stir inside the circular barrel body 1.
[0088] The stirring rod 7 is located at the center of the round barrel 1, which can ensure that the ink material is evenly distributed in the barrel. The stirring at the center of the stirring rod 7 helps to reduce dead angles and make the ink material more uniform during the stirring process, thereby improving the quality of the final product. The vertically arranged stirring rod 7 can effectively mix the different layers of the ink material, avoiding the stratification phenomenon that may occur in horizontal stirring, and further improving the uniformity of stirring.
[0089] The controller 6 is electrically connected to the stirring rod 7 through the center of the circular barrel cover. This connection method is not only simple in structure but also highly reliable. The controller 6 can more accurately control the rotation speed and stirring time of the stirring rod 7, thereby realizing precise control of the viscosity of the ink. The viscosity sensor is installed in the stirring rod 7, which can monitor the viscosity changes of the ink in real time and feed back the data to the controller 6. The controller 6 dynamically adjusts the stirring parameters according to these data to ensure that the viscosity of the ink always meets the requirements. Connecting the stirring rod 7 at the center of the circular barrel cover can reduce the vibration and instability of the equipment and increase the service life of the equipment. This connection method makes the signal transmission between the controller 6 and the stirring rod 7 more stable and reduces the failure rate caused by poor connection.
[0090] In some embodiments, the stirring rod 7 includes: a stirring member, which is used to stir the ink material; and a heating member, which is used to heat the ink material; wherein the controller 6 controls the stirring member to stir according to the real-time viscosity and the target ink viscosity, and determines the target ink temperature according to the silk screen printing information, so as to control the heating member to heat the ink material according to the target ink temperature.
[0091] The viscosity of the ink is greatly affected by temperature, and the heating element can help adjust the temperature of the ink during the stirring process, thereby controlling the viscosity of the ink more accurately. By combining the dual regulation of temperature and viscosity, the viscosity of the ink can be ensured to be more stable and accurate. Heating can reduce the viscosity of the ink and make it more fluid, making it easier to distribute evenly during the screen printing process, thereby improving the quality and effect of the screen printing. Through the dual control of the stirring element and the heating element by the controller 6, printing problems caused by excessively high or low viscosity can be effectively avoided, thereby reducing the scrap rate. This design enables the intelligent mixer to adapt to different types of ink materials and different screen printing requirements, improving the versatility and adaptability of the equipment.
[0092] The heating element can quickly adjust the temperature of the ink, so that the target viscosity can be reached more quickly during the stirring process, shortening the mixing time and improving production efficiency. By adjusting the viscosity of the ink through the heating element, the wear of the stirring element can be reduced to a certain extent, thereby extending the service life of the equipment.
[0093] Through the dual control design of the stirring rod 7, that is, including a stirring element and a heating element, the intelligent mixer has more advantages in controlling the viscosity and temperature of the ink. This design not only improves the accuracy and stability of ink mixing, but also optimizes the production process, reduces the scrap rate, and improves production efficiency. In addition, this dual control system enables the equipment to better adapt to different ink materials and screen printing requirements, and has higher versatility and reliability.
[0094] In some embodiments, the controller 6 parses the ink material ratio to obtain multiple target material types and the addition order and material dosage corresponding to each target material type, so as to control the smart catheter assembly 5 to open the target feed hole corresponding to the target material type according to the addition order and material dosage corresponding to each target material type.
[0095] By analyzing the ratio information and controlling the opening of the feed holes in sequence through the controller 6, it can be ensured that each material is added at the correct time point, avoiding uneven mixing or poor reaction caused by adding multiple materials at the same time. The controller 6 accurately controls the amount of each material according to the ratio information to ensure that the mixed ink material meets the predetermined ratio, thereby ensuring the quality of the final product. The controller 6 automatically analyzes the ratio information and controls the opening of the feed holes, reducing the steps and time of manual operation and improving production efficiency. Automated control reduces material ratio errors caused by operator misoperation and ensures the continuity and stability of production. The controller 6 can analyze complex ratio information and process data of multiple target material types, demonstrating the high level of intelligence of the equipment. This design enables the equipment to easily adapt to different ink material formulas, improving the versatility and flexibility of the equipment.
[0096] Adding materials accurately in sequence and amount can ensure that the ink materials are more uniform during the stirring process and reduce product quality problems caused by improper material ratio. Combined with the viscosity and temperature control functions in the previous embodiment, it can further ensure that the viscosity and temperature of the ink are always in the best state, improving the screen printing effect. Accurate material addition can effectively reduce material waste and reduce production costs. Adding materials in sequence helps to improve material utilization and reduce unnecessary losses.
[0097] For example, suppose that a batch of colored glaze glass needs to be screen printed, the required ink viscosity is 2000 cP, and three ink materials A, B, and C need to be mixed, with a ratio of 40%, 30%, and 30%, respectively. According to the screen printing information, the order of addition is A, B, and C, and the material dosage is 400 grams, 300 grams, and 300 grams, respectively. The specific operation steps are as follows: Place the three ink materials A, B, and C in three material barrels 4 respectively. Input the screen printing information of the colored glaze glass through the operation interface or system, including the required ink viscosity of 2000 cP, the target ink temperature of 40°C, and the ratio of the ink materials 40% A, 30% B, and 30% C, as well as the order of addition A, B, and C and the material dosage of 400 grams, 300 grams, and 300 grams. The controller 6 reads the ratio information and parses it to determine the target material types A, B, and C and their corresponding order of addition and material dosage.
[0098] The controller 6 controls the intelligent conduit assembly 5 to open the feed hole a, and adds 400 grams of material A into the mixing barrel. The controller 6 controls the intelligent conduit assembly 5 to open the feed hole b, and adds 300 grams of material B into the mixing barrel. The controller 6 controls the intelligent conduit assembly 5 to open the feed hole c, and adds 300 grams of material C into the mixing barrel. The controller 6 is electrically connected to the stirring rod 7 at the center of the circular barrel cover, and starts the stirring element to stir, ensuring that the ink material is mixed evenly. The controller 6 starts the heating element to heat the ink material according to the target ink temperature of 40°C. The viscosity sensor monitors the viscosity of the ink in real time and feeds back the data to the controller 6. The temperature sensor monitors the temperature of the ink in real time and feeds back the data to the controller 6. The controller 6 dynamically adjusts the stirring speed and time of the stirring element, as well as the heating power of the heating element, according to the real-time data of the viscosity sensor and the temperature sensor, to ensure that the ink viscosity and temperature reach the target values. When the ink viscosity reaches 2000 cP and the temperature reaches 40°C, the controller 6 stops the stirring and heating operations. The ink flows out smoothly through the discharge port of the oil discharge funnel, completing the silk screen printing on the colored glaze glass. After the operation is completed, the round barrel cover 2 can be easily opened to clean and maintain the mixing barrel to ensure the long-term stable operation of the equipment.
[0099] The controller 6 analyzes the ink material ratio information and accurately controls the addition of materials in order and amount, which not only improves production efficiency and reduces human errors, but also ensures the uniform mixing of ink materials and the quality of the final product. This intelligent design makes the equipment more flexible and efficient in processing ink materials with different formulas, further meeting the high requirements of modern glaze glass screen printing.
[0100] The intelligent mixer provided by the present application has at least the following beneficial effects:
[0101] 1. Improve consistency: The controller accurately controls the ratio and viscosity of the ink materials to ensure the consistency of the ink quality of each batch, thereby improving the stability and consistency of the screen printing quality.
[0102] 2. Reduce dependence: Automated operation reduces dependence on operator experience and technical level, reduces human errors, and makes the production process more reliable.
[0103] 3. Improve efficiency: The process of manually mixing ink is time-consuming and labor-intensive, while the intelligent mixer can quickly and accurately complete the ink mixing, significantly improving production efficiency, especially in mass production.
[0104] 4. Precise control: The viscosity sensor detects the ink viscosity in real time, and the controller makes adjustments based on the real-time data to ensure that the ink viscosity is always within the target range, thereby improving the accuracy of quality control.
[0105] 5. Reduce scrap rate: Due to the precise control of ink viscosity and the improved consistency of each batch of ink, the scrap rate is significantly reduced, saving materials and costs.
[0106] 6. Data recording and analysis: The controller can record the ink ratio and viscosity data of each mixing, which is convenient for subsequent quality analysis and production optimization.
[0107] Please refer to Figure 4 The intelligent stirring method for colored glaze glass silk screen printing provided in the present application is used for the controller of the intelligent mixer provided in any embodiment of the present application, and the controller may be an MCU.
[0108] like Figure 4 As shown, the provided intelligent stirring method for colored glaze glass silk screen printing includes steps S101 to S105. The details are as follows:
[0109] Step S101: Obtain silk-screen information corresponding to the colored glaze glass.
[0110] Specifically, the silk-screen information of the colored glaze glass is obtained through the operation interface or system input, which generally includes the type of ink, color, viscosity requirement, temperature requirement, material ratio, etc.
[0111] For example, the operator inputs the screen printing information through the touch screen, for example: ink type: A, B, C; ink color: red; target ink viscosity: 2000 cP; target ink temperature: 40°C; material ratio: 40% A, 30% B, 30% C; addition order: A → B → C; amount of each material: 400 g A, 300 g B, 300 g C
[0112] The screen printing information can be easily input through the operation interface, which improves the user-friendliness and operation convenience of the equipment. The information obtained is comprehensive, providing an accurate data basis for subsequent steps.
[0113] Step S102: Determine the ink material ratio and target ink viscosity corresponding to the colored glaze glass according to the silk-screen information.
[0114] Specifically, the controller (MCU) analyzes and determines the ink material ratio and target ink viscosity corresponding to the colored glaze glass according to the silk-screen information obtained in step S101. This step usually involves data processing and algorithm calculation to ensure the accuracy of the analysis results.
[0115] For example, the controller reads the screen printing information input on the operation interface: ink material ratio: 40% A, 30% B, 30% C; target ink viscosity: 2000 cP; target ink temperature: 40°C.
[0116] The controller can then accurately parse the silk-screen information to ensure that the parameters of subsequent operations are correct. The parsed data remains consistent throughout the production process, reducing production problems caused by data errors.
[0117] Step S103: determining a target feed hole among multiple feed holes according to the ink material ratio and multiple material types stored in the smart catheter assembly.
[0118] Specifically, the controller determines the feed holes to be opened and the order in which they are opened according to the ink material ratio obtained by analysis. A plurality of feed holes are preset in the intelligent conduit assembly, and each feed hole corresponds to a material type.
[0119] For example, the controller determines the target feed holes according to the material ratio of 40% A, 30% B, 30% C and the addition order A → B → C: feed hole a corresponds to material A; feed hole b corresponds to material B; feed hole c corresponds to material C. Ensure that each material is added in the correct order and time point to avoid uneven mixing or poor reaction. The controller accurately controls the opening of the feed holes according to the ratio and order to ensure the accuracy of material dosage.
[0120] Step S104: Control the smart conduit assembly to open the target feed hole so that the ink material flows into the stirring barrel through the smart conduit assembly.
[0121] Specifically, the controller controls the intelligent conduit assembly to open corresponding feed holes in sequence according to the target feed holes determined in step S103, and adds the materials into the mixing barrel in order and amount. The feed holes in the intelligent conduit assembly can accurately control the flow of the materials and ensure the accuracy of the material dosage.
[0122] For example, the controller controls the opening of the feed holes in sequence: Open feed hole a, add 400 grams of material A into the mixing barrel. Open feed hole b, add 300 grams of material B into the mixing barrel. Open feed hole c, add 300 grams of material C into the mixing barrel.
[0123] This reduces the number of manual operations and improves production efficiency. It ensures that each material is added in the correct order and amount, improving the accuracy of the material ratio. Automated control reduces material ratio errors caused by operator misoperation.
[0124] Step S105. Control the stirring rod to stir according to the real-time viscosity measured by the viscosity sensor and the target ink viscosity, so that the stirred ink flows out through the discharge port of the stirring barrel to complete the silk-screen printing on the colored glaze glass.
[0125] Specifically, the controller dynamically adjusts the stirring speed and time of the stirring rod according to the real-time viscosity measured by the viscosity sensor and the target ink viscosity determined in step S102 until the ink viscosity reaches the target value. If the device includes a heating function, the controller also dynamically adjusts the heating power of the heating element according to the real-time temperature measured by the temperature sensor and the target ink temperature to ensure that the ink temperature meets the requirements. When the ink viscosity and temperature both reach the target values, the controller controls the stirring to stop, and the stirred ink flows out through the discharge port to complete the silk screen printing on the colored glaze glass.
[0126] After the equipment is started, the controller makes adjustments based on the real-time data of the viscosity sensor and temperature sensor: the initial viscosity is 1500 cP, and the controller gradually increases the stirring speed of the stirring rod while monitoring the viscosity change. When the viscosity approaches 2000 cP, the controller slows down the stirring speed until the viscosity reaches 2000 cP. The initial temperature is 30°C, and the controller starts the heating element and gradually increases the heating power while monitoring the temperature change. When the temperature approaches 40°C, the controller reduces the heating power until the temperature reaches 40°C. When the ink viscosity reaches 2000 cP and the temperature reaches 40°C, the controller stops the stirring and heating operations. The controller opens the discharge port of the stirring barrel to let the stirred ink flow out for screen printing.
[0127] Through dual control of viscosity and temperature, the viscosity and temperature of the ink are ensured to reach the target value, which improves the quality of the ink and the screen printing effect. The controller dynamically adjusts the stirring and heating parameters according to the real-time data to ensure that the ink state is always in the best state. By accurately controlling the viscosity and temperature of the ink, the product quality problems caused by improper material state are reduced. The uniformity and stability of the ink are improved, thereby reducing the scrap rate.
[0128] Through the above five steps, the controller of the intelligent mixer can efficiently and accurately complete the preparation and mixing of the ink materials required for the colored glaze glass screen printing. This intelligent mixing method not only improves production efficiency and reduces human errors, but also ensures the uniform mixing and optimal state of the ink materials, thereby improving the quality of the screen printing products and reducing the scrap rate. The technical content, examples and beneficial effects of each step fully demonstrate the efficiency and reliability of the intelligent mixer in modern colored glaze glass screen printing production.
[0129] In some embodiments, determining the ink material ratio and target ink viscosity corresponding to the colored glaze glass according to the silk-screen information includes: parsing the silk-screen information to obtain pattern design information, color requirement information, silk-screen thickness information and product application environment information corresponding to the silk-screen printing of the colored glaze glass; searching in a preset formula library according to the pattern design information, color requirement information, silk-screen thickness information and product application environment information to obtain the corresponding ink material ratio and target ink viscosity.
[0130] The controller (MCU) parses the input screen printing information and extracts the pattern design information, color requirement information, screen printing thickness information and product application environment information. According to the extracted pattern design information, color requirement information, screen printing thickness information and product application environment information, search in the preset formula library to find the ink material ratio and target ink viscosity that meet these conditions. Pattern design information includes the complexity of the screen printing pattern, whether there are special lines, etc. Color requirement information includes the required ink color and its color value to ensure that the final screen printing effect meets the requirements. Screen printing thickness information includes the expected thickness of the ink after screen printing, which has specific requirements for the viscosity of the ink. Product application environment information includes the use environment of the glazed glass, such as indoor or outdoor, temperature range, humidity, etc. These environmental factors may affect the performance of the ink.
[0131] The preset formula library stores a variety of different ink material ratios and viscosity data, each of which corresponds to a specific pattern design, color requirement, screen printing thickness, and application environment. The controller searches the formula library based on the extracted screen printing information to find the best matching ink material ratio and target ink viscosity.
[0132] By analyzing the pattern design information, color requirement information, screen printing thickness information and product application environment information, the ink material ratio and viscosity can be determined more comprehensively, improving the accuracy of the formula. The preset formula library contains ink formulas under various conditions. The controller can quickly find the appropriate formula according to the specific screen printing requirements, avoiding the uncertainty and error of manual ratio.
[0133] According to the pattern design information, the appropriate ink material ratio is selected to ensure that complex patterns can be smoothly screen-printed without sagging or unevenness. The color requirement information ensures the precise consistency of the ink color and improves the visual effect of the product. The screen printing thickness information enables the controller to select the appropriate viscosity to ensure that the ink thickness after screen printing meets the requirements, improving the stability and reliability of the product. The product application environment information ensures that the ink can still maintain good performance in different use environments and extend the service life of the product.
[0134] The controller can quickly determine the most suitable ink material ratio and viscosity by searching the formula library, reducing the time for formula testing and improving production efficiency. Since the formula has been preset and verified, the debugging time caused by inaccurate formula in the production process is reduced. The controller can process multi-dimensional data, demonstrating the high level of intelligence of the equipment. The equipment can automatically select the appropriate formula according to different screen printing requirements, enhancing the adaptability and versatility of the equipment.
[0135] Through precise formula matching, the scrap rate caused by improper material ratio is reduced, ensuring that each batch of ink materials meets the requirements and improving the stability of product quality.
[0136] For example, suppose a batch of colored glaze glass needs to be screen printed, and the specific requirements are as follows: Pattern design information: The pattern is a complex flower pattern, and the texture is required to be clear. Color requirement information: The color is red, and the color value is #FF0000. Screen printing thickness information: The ink thickness after screen printing is required to be 10 microns. Product application environment information: The colored glaze glass will be used in outdoor environments and needs to have good weather resistance.
[0137] The operator inputs the above screen printing information through the touch screen. The controller parses the input screen printing information and extracts the pattern design information, color requirement information, screen printing thickness information and product application environment information. The controller searches the preset formula library to find the ink material ratio and target ink viscosity that meet these conditions. For example, there is a record in the formula library: Pattern design: complex flower pattern Color requirement: red, color value #FF0000 Screen printing thickness: 10 microns Product application environment: outdoor weather resistance Ink material ratio: 40% A, 30% B, 30% C Target ink viscosity: 2000 cP Target ink temperature: 40°C
[0138] The controller determines the target feed holes according to the material ratio of 40% A, 30% B, 30% C and the addition sequence of A → B → C: feed hole a corresponds to material A, feed hole b corresponds to material B, and feed hole c corresponds to material C.
[0139] The controller controls the opening of the feed holes in sequence: Open feed hole a and add 400 grams of material A into the mixing barrel. Open feed hole b and add 300 grams of material B into the mixing barrel. Open feed hole c and add 300 grams of material C into the mixing barrel. According to the target ink viscosity of 2000 cP and the target ink temperature of 40°C, the controller starts the stirring element to stir and controls the heating element to heat until the ink viscosity and temperature reach the target values. The initial viscosity is 1500 cP, and the controller gradually increases the stirring speed of the stirring rod while monitoring the viscosity change. When the viscosity approaches 2000 cP, the controller slows down the stirring speed until the viscosity reaches 2000 cP. The initial temperature is 30°C, and the controller starts the heating element and gradually increases the heating power while monitoring the temperature change. When the temperature approaches 40°C, the controller reduces the heating power until the temperature reaches 40°C. When the ink viscosity reaches 2000 cP and the temperature reaches 40°C, the controller stops the stirring and heating operations. The controller opens the discharge port of the mixing barrel to allow the mixed ink to flow out for use in screen printing.
[0140] In summary, by analyzing the screen printing information in multiple dimensions and searching in the preset formula library, the ratio and viscosity of the ink material can be determined more accurately. This design not only improves the accuracy of the formula and optimizes the screen printing effect, but also reduces the debugging time and human errors in production, and improves production efficiency and product quality. At the same time, it enhances the intelligence and adaptability of the equipment, so that the equipment can better adapt to different screen printing needs and application environments.
[0141] In some embodiments, controlling the smart conduit assembly to open the target feed hole so that the ink material flows into the mixing barrel through the smart conduit assembly includes: parsing according to the ink material ratio to obtain multiple target material types and the addition order and material dosage corresponding to each target material type; and controlling the smart conduit assembly to open the target feed hole corresponding to the target material type according to the addition order and material dosage corresponding to each target material type.
[0142] The controller (MCU) parses the ink material ratio determined in step S102 to obtain multiple target material types and their corresponding addition order and material dosage. According to the addition order and material dosage corresponding to each target material type, the controller controls the intelligent catheter assembly to open the corresponding feed holes in sequence, so that the ink material flows into the mixing barrel in a predetermined order and dosage. For example, the controller parses the ink material ratio information to determine the multiple material types that need to be added, such as A, B, C, etc. Determine the order of adding each material to ensure that the materials are added to the mixing barrel in the correct order. Determine the addition dosage of each material to ensure that the materials are added to the mixing barrel in the correct proportion.
[0143] The intelligent conduit assembly is equipped with multiple feed holes, each corresponding to a material type. Based on the analysis results, the controller controls the corresponding feed holes to open in sequence, allowing the materials to flow into the mixing barrel. The intelligent conduit assembly has a precise flow control function to ensure that the amount of each material added is accurate.
[0144] The controller can accurately analyze the ink material ratio information, determine the addition order and amount, and ensure the accurate addition of each material. Through analysis and precise control, production problems caused by improper material ratio are reduced and product quality is improved. Materials are added in the correct order, which helps to improve the stirring effect and ensure that the ink materials are evenly mixed. Some materials have specific order requirements when mixing. Adding them in order can avoid poor reactions or material performance degradation caused by improper mixing order.
[0145] For example, suppose that a batch of colored glaze glass needs to be screen printed, and the specific requirements are as follows: Ink material ratio: 40% A, 30% B, 30% C Addition order: A → B → C Material dosage: 400 grams A, 300 grams B, 300 grams C The operator enters the above screen printing information through the touch screen. The controller parses the input screen printing information and determines that the ink material ratio is 40% A, 30% B, 30% C, the addition order is A → B → C, and the material dosage is 400 grams A, 300 grams B, 300 grams C. The controller further parses the ink material ratio information to determine the type of material to be added and its corresponding addition order and dosage Target material type: A, B, C Addition order: A → B → C Material dosage: 400 grams A, 300 grams B, 300 grams C According to the parsing results, the controller sequentially controls the intelligent conduit assembly to open the corresponding feed holes: Add material A: The controller controls the feed hole a to open, so that 400 grams of material A flows into the mixing barrel. Add material B: The controller controls the feed hole b to open, allowing 300 grams of material B to flow into the mixing barrel. Add material C: The controller controls the feed hole c to open, allowing 300 grams of material C to flow into the mixing barrel.
[0146] Based on the target ink viscosity of 2000 cP and the target ink temperature of 40°C, the controller starts the stirring element to stir and controls the heating element to heat until the ink viscosity and temperature reach the target values. Viscosity adjustment: The initial viscosity is 1500 cP, and the controller gradually increases the stirring speed of the stirring rod while monitoring the viscosity change. When the viscosity approaches 2000 cP, the controller slows down the stirring speed until the viscosity reaches 2000 cP. The initial temperature is 30°C, and the controller starts the heating element and gradually increases the heating power while monitoring the temperature change. When the temperature approaches 40°C, the controller reduces the heating power until the temperature reaches 40°C. When the ink viscosity reaches 2000 cP and the temperature reaches 40°C, the controller stops the stirring and heating operations. The controller opens the discharge port of the stirring barrel to let the stirred ink flow out for screen printing.
[0147] In summary, by analyzing the ink material ratio information, multiple target material types and their corresponding addition order and material dosage are obtained, and the intelligent catheter component is accurately controlled to open the corresponding feed hole according to these parameters. This design not only improves the accuracy of material ratio and optimizes the stirring effect, but also reduces the debugging time and human errors in production, and improves production efficiency and product quality. At the same time, it enhances the intelligence and adaptability of the equipment, so that the equipment can better adapt to different production needs.
[0148] In some embodiments, the stirring rod is controlled to stir according to the real-time viscosity measured by the viscosity sensor and the target ink viscosity, including: controlling the stirring member of the stirring rod to stir according to the real-time viscosity and the target ink viscosity; determining the target ink temperature according to the silk screen printing information; and controlling the heating member to heat the ink material according to the target ink temperature.
[0149] The controller monitors the ink viscosity measured by the viscosity sensor in real time, and dynamically adjusts the stirring speed and stirring time of the stirring rod according to the target ink viscosity until the ink viscosity reaches the target value. The controller parses the screen printing information obtained in step S101 and extracts the target ink temperature. The target ink temperature is determined according to the screen printing conditions (such as pattern design, color requirements, screen printing thickness and product application environment). The controller monitors the ink temperature measured by the temperature sensor in real time, and dynamically adjusts the heating power of the heating element according to the target ink temperature until the ink temperature reaches the target value.
[0150] The viscosity sensor continuously detects the viscosity of the ink in the mixing barrel and feeds the data back to the controller in real time. The controller dynamically adjusts the stirring speed and stirring time of the stirring rod according to the difference between the real-time viscosity and the target viscosity. When the viscosity is too high, the stirring speed is increased; when the viscosity is too low, the stirring speed is slowed down until the ink viscosity reaches the target value. The controller extracts the target ink temperature from the screen printing information, which usually includes: Complex patterns may require a specific ink temperature to ensure good fluidity and uniformity. Certain colors of ink may behave differently at different temperatures. The ink temperature affects the thickness of the ink after screen printing. Colored glaze glass used outdoors may need to be screen printed at a higher temperature to ensure the weather resistance of the ink. The temperature sensor continuously detects the ink temperature in the mixing barrel and feeds the data back to the controller in real time. The controller dynamically adjusts the heating power of the heating element according to the difference between the real-time temperature and the target ink temperature. When the temperature is too low, the heating power is increased; when the temperature is too high, the heating power is reduced until the ink temperature reaches the target value.
[0151] Through real-time monitoring and dynamic adjustment, the viscosity of the ink can be controlled more accurately to ensure that it is always in the best condition. Similarly, through real-time monitoring and dynamic adjustment, the temperature of the ink can be controlled more accurately to ensure that it meets the requirements of screen printing. Accurate control of ink viscosity ensures the fluidity of the ink during the screen printing process, reduces sagging and unevenness, and improves the quality of screen printing. Accurate control of ink temperature ensures that the ink is screen printed at the optimal working temperature, improving the stability of the ink and the uniformity of screen printing.
[0152] Exemplary. Suppose a batch of colored glaze glass needs to be screen printed, and the specific requirements are as follows: target ink viscosity: 2000 cP; target ink temperature: 40°C; initial viscosity: 1500 cP; initial temperature: 30°C; the operator enters the above screen printing information through the touch screen. The controller obtains screen printing information such as ink type, color, viscosity requirement, temperature requirement, and material ratio. The controller determines the ink material ratio as 40% A, 30% B, and 30% C based on the screen printing information, and the target ink viscosity is 2000 cP. The controller determines the target feed hole based on the material ratio and multiple material types stored in the intelligent catheter assembly and controls the opening of the feed hole in sequence: open feed hole a, add 400 grams of material A to the mixing barrel. Open feed hole b, add 300 grams of material B to the mixing barrel. Open feed hole c, add 300 grams of material C to the mixing barrel. The initial viscosity is 1500 cP, and the controller gradually increases the stirring speed of the stirring rod while monitoring the viscosity change. When the viscosity approaches 2000 cP, the controller slows down the stirring speed until the viscosity reaches 2000 cP. The initial temperature is 30°C, and the controller determines the target ink temperature to be 40°C based on the screen printing information. The controller starts the heating element and gradually increases the heating power while monitoring the temperature change. When the temperature approaches 40°C, the controller reduces the heating power until the temperature reaches 40°C. When the ink viscosity reaches 2000 cP and the temperature reaches 40°C, the controller stops the stirring and heating operations. The controller opens the discharge port of the stirring barrel to let the stirred ink flow out for screen printing.
[0153] The above embodiment ensures that the ink is screen printed in the best state by real-time monitoring and dynamic adjustment of the viscosity and temperature of the ink. This design not only improves the control accuracy of the ink viscosity and temperature, optimizes the screen printing effect, but also improves production efficiency, enhances the intelligence and adaptability of the equipment, and reduces the scrap rate caused by improper ink state. Through multi-faceted control, the consistency of the ink state of each batch is ensured, and the product quality and production reliability are improved.
[0154] Exemplarily, the method further includes: constructing a viscosity control model according to the real-time viscosity, the target ink viscosity and the target ink temperature; the expression of the viscosity control model includes:
[0155] ;
[0156] in, is the target ink viscosity, are the stirring time and stirring speed corresponding to the stirring element and the heating temperature corresponding to the heating element, respectively. is the real-time viscosity, is the constant affecting the viscosity by temperature, is the target ink temperature, is the real-time temperature in the mixing barrel, is the stirring efficiency constant.
[0157] The viscosity control model takes into account multiple factors such as stirring time, stirring speed and heating temperature, and can more accurately control the ink viscosity. The controller can monitor the ink state in real time and dynamically adjust the stirring parameters and heating parameters according to the model calculation results to ensure that the viscosity is always in the optimal state. Parameters in the model Fine-tuning can be performed according to actual production conditions to make the model more suitable for the specific production environment.
[0158] By dynamically adjusting the stirring time and speed, the degradation of ink performance caused by excessive stirring is avoided. By dynamically adjusting the heating temperature, the ink is ensured to reach the target ink temperature in the shortest time, which improves production efficiency. The real-time feedback of the viscosity sensor and temperature sensor enables the controller to respond quickly to changes in the ink state, reducing adjustment time and errors. It ensures that the viscosity and temperature of each batch of ink are consistent, reducing production problems caused by differences in ink state. The controller can process complex viscosity and temperature data and perform model calculations, demonstrating the high level of intelligence of the equipment. The equipment can automatically adjust the stirring and heating parameters according to different production needs, enhancing the adaptability and versatility of the equipment.
