Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of ink mixing technology, and in particular to a mixing and stirring mechanism for ink mixing. Background Technology

[0002] Ink mixing is a delicate and critical task that involves mixing various ink raw materials in specific proportions and methods according to different printing needs to obtain the desired color, performance and printing effect.

[0003] In addition, the existing patent publication number CN216062970U discloses a mixing equipment for the production of water-based ink materials that can quickly mix. The above device can generate convection of ink by rotating the movable stirring blade and the fixed stirring blade in opposite directions. However, from the perspective of this simple convection method, it may not be possible to fully achieve the uniform dispersion of various components for some special inks. Therefore, this solution adopts a continuous flow stirring process. The ink flows continuously in the pipeline. At the same time, the liquid material is divided during the flow process and stirred by the stirring device to make the ink continuously and uniformly mixed during the flow process. Utility Model Content

[0004] In order to improve the problem that some special inks may not be able to achieve sufficient uniform dispersion of various components during the stirring process, this application provides a mixing and stirring mechanism for ink preparation.

[0005] The mixing and stirring mechanism for ink preparation provided in this application adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] A mixing and stirring mechanism for ink preparation includes a support frame. Mixing components are equidistantly arranged on the top of the support frame, and a stirring component is arranged on one side below the mixing components. The stirring component includes a mixing tank, a mixing chamber fixedly installed inside the mixing tank, and a dividing strip for mixing raw materials fixedly installed inside the mixing chamber. Multiple liquid outlet holes A are fixedly and equidistantly opened in a ring at the bottom of the mixing chamber. Multiple conveying pipes are fixedly connected to the multiple liquid outlet holes A, and the bottom ends of the multiple conveying pipes are fixedly connected to the mixing chamber. A stirring fan is rotatably connected inside the mixing chamber. A drive motor is fixedly connected to the top of the mixing tank, and a drive shaft is fixedly connected to the output end of the drive motor. The drive shaft passes through the mixing tank and is fixedly connected to the stirring chamber and stirring fan.

[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, the mixing component initially mixes the raw materials, the mixing chamber of the stirring component and its internal dividing strips further mix the raw materials, the liquid outlet A and the conveying pipe transport the raw materials in the mixing chamber to the stirring chamber, and the drive motor drives the stirring fan to rotate through the drive shaft to stir and mix the raw materials entering the stirring chamber. The function of this device is to realize the step-by-step mixing and stirring of the raw materials, and improve the mixing uniformity and efficiency.

[0008] Preferably, the outer circumferential surface of the mixing chamber is provided with equidistant outlet holes B for discharging internal raw materials.

[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, the liquid outlet B on the outer peripheral surface of the mixing chamber is used to discharge the fully mixed raw materials for subsequent use or treatment.

[0010] Preferably, the mixing fan is composed of a column and multiple rectangular plates. The tops of the multiple rectangular plates are attached to the top surface inside the mixing chamber, the ends of the multiple rectangular plates are attached to the inner circumferential surface of the mixing chamber, and the ends of the multiple rectangular plates away from the column are provided with cutting grooves at equal intervals for cutting liquid.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, the mixing fan is composed of a column and multiple rectangular plates. The top of the rectangular plates is attached to the top surface of the mixing chamber, and the ends are attached to the inner circumferential surface. This can effectively reduce the dead corners of the mixing and ensure that the raw materials in all parts of the mixing chamber can be fully mixed. The cutting grooves on the rectangular plates can cut the liquid raw materials, further refine the mixing, enhance the mixing effect, and make the raw materials more uniformly mixed.

[0012] Preferably, the diameter of the mixing chamber is smaller than the inner diameter of the mixing tank, and a discharge port is installed below the outer peripheral surface of the mixing tank.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, the mixed raw materials enter the mixing chamber, which has a diameter smaller than the inner diameter of the mixing tank, through the liquid outlet A and the conveying pipe. This size design makes the mixing chamber form a specific spatial structure inside the mixing tank, which is conducive to the centralized mixing and processing of the raw materials in the mixing chamber.

[0014] Preferably, the stent has an internal cavity, and the two ends of the stent are fixedly connected to fasteners. A controller is fixedly installed in the middle of the top of the stent, and an infusion tube is installed at one end of the stent below the controller.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, the internal cavity can be used to arrange internal structures such as lines and pipes, playing a role in storage and protection. The fasteners at both ends of the bracket can be used to fix the entire device in a specific position to ensure the stability of the device. The controller installed in the middle of the top can control and adjust the operation of the device.

[0016] Preferably, the mixing assembly includes a support plate fixedly connected to the bracket, a support cross plate fixedly connected to one side of the support plate, and a pigment tank fixedly installed at the bottom of the support cross plate.

[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, the supporting cross plate provides an installation position for the pigment tank, which serves to support and fix the pigment tank, which is used to store pigments and other raw materials.

[0018] Preferably, a pump is fixedly installed on the side of the support plate away from the support cross plate. The pump is connected to the pigment tank through a pipe and is electrically connected to the controller.

[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, the pump is connected to the pigment tank through a pipeline, ensuring that the raw materials can be stably transferred between the two. This connection method ensures the sealing and stability of the conveying path. The pump is electrically connected to the controller, which enables the controller to control and adjust the pump.

[0020] Preferably, the pigment container is connected to the pipe interface at the top of the mixing tank and the support via a pipe, and the drive motor is electrically connected to the controller.

[0021] By adopting the above technical solution, the pigment in the pigment tank can be mixed with the liquid inside during the injection process, thereby improving the mixing effect.

[0022] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:

[0023] 1. In the continuous flow mixing process, the ink flows continuously in the pipeline. The cutting and stirring action of the dividing strips and stirring fan can continuously process the ink during its flow. Compared with simple convection mixing, this method can mix the various components of the ink multiple times and in multiple directions, avoiding component aggregation. For special inks, it can also more effectively achieve uniform dispersion of various components and improve the ink mixing quality.

[0024] 2. The ink flows continuously and mixes synchronously in the pipeline, eliminating the need to wait for one batch of ink to be mixed before starting the next batch, as is the case with traditional mixing methods. This continuous operation mode shortens the production cycle and achieves efficient ink production. Attached Figure Description

[0034] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1 - Figure 5 This application will be described in further detail.

[0035] The device's "up, down, left, right" perspectives are... Figure 1 The orientation of the attached diagram is the reference.

[0036] This application discloses a mixing and stirring mechanism for ink preparation.

[0037] Reference Figure 1 - Figure 4 As shown, a mixing and stirring mechanism for ink preparation includes a support 1. Mixing components 3 are equidistantly arranged on the top of the support 1. A stirring component 6 is arranged on one side below the mixing components 3. The stirring component 6 includes a stirring tank 601. A mixing chamber 602 for mixing liquids is fixedly installed inside the mixing tank 601. Dividing strips 6020 for cutting liquids are fixedly installed equidistantly inside the mixing chamber 602. Multiple liquid outlet holes A6021 are circumferentially and equidistantly fixedly opened at the bottom of the mixing chamber 602. Multiple conveying pipes 603 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the mixing chamber 602 at the multiple liquid outlet holes A6021. A stirring chamber 604 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the multiple conveying pipes 603. The stirring chamber 604 communicates with the internal space of the mixing chamber 602 through the conveying pipes 603. A stirring fan 605 is installed inside the stirring chamber 604. The top of the mixing tank 601 is fixedly connected to the mounting base of the drive motor 606 by bolts. The output end of the drive motor 606 is fixedly connected to a drive shaft 607 that passes through the mixing tank 601 and the mixing chamber 604. One end of the drive shaft 607 is fixedly connected to the stirring fan 605. The outer circumferential surface of the mixing chamber 604 is provided with liquid outlet holes B6040 for internal raw material discharge in an annular pattern. The stirring fan 605 is composed of a column and multiple rectangular plates. The top of the multiple rectangular plates is attached to the top surface inside the mixing chamber 604, and the ends of the multiple rectangular plates are attached to the inner circumferential surface of the mixing chamber 604. The ends of the multiple rectangular plates away from the column are provided with cutting grooves 6050 for cutting liquid at equal intervals. The diameter of the mixing chamber 604 is smaller than the inner diameter of the mixing tank 601. A discharge port is installed below the outer circumferential surface of the mixing tank 601.

[0038] The support frame 1 provides stable support for the entire mixing and stirring mechanism. The mixing component 3 stores and pre-processes the raw materials required for ink preparation and conveys the raw materials to the stirring component 6. The raw materials enter the mixing chamber 602 inside the mixing tank 601. The dividing strips 6020 inside the mixing chamber 602 cut the liquid and pre-mix the different liquid components. The pre-mixed liquid flows into the mixing chamber 604 through the annular equidistant outlet holes A6021 at the bottom of the mixing chamber 602 and the connected conveying pipe 603. The drive motor 606 is powered on and its output drive shaft 607 rotates. The drive shaft 607 passes through the mixing tank 601 and the mixing chamber 604, driving the stirring fan 605 to rotate. The stirring fan 605 consists of a column and multiple rectangular plates. The top of the rectangular plates is attached to the inner top surface of the stirring chamber 604, and the ends are attached to the inner circumferential surface and have cutting grooves 6050. During rotation, it reduces the dead angle of stirring and further cuts and stirs the liquid entering the stirring chamber 604, making the ink more uniformly mixed. The uniformly stirred ink is discharged into the stirring tank 601 through the annularly distributed liquid outlet holes B6040 on the outer circumferential surface of the stirring chamber 604. Since the diameter of the stirring chamber 604 is smaller than the inner diameter of the stirring tank 601, a specific space is formed. Finally, the mixed ink is discharged from the discharge port below the outer circumferential surface of the stirring tank 601, completing the mixing and stirring work of ink preparation.

[0039] It should be noted that the drive motor 606 and the connection method of the connecting wires and control equipment are existing and mature technologies. Therefore, the specific connection relationship will not be described in detail. Existing connection assemblies can be installed for use.

[0040] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, the bracket 1 has an internal cavity for pipe laying and wiring connection. Fixtures 2 for bracket 1 installation are fixedly connected to both ends of the bracket 1. A controller 4 for controlling equipment operation is fixedly installed in the middle of the top of the bracket 1.

The mixing assembly 3 includes a support plate 301 fixedly connected to the bracket 1. A support horizontal plate 302 with an arc-shaped end is fixedly connected to one side of the support plate 301. A pigment tank 303 is fixedly installed below the end of the support horizontal plate 302 away from the support plate 301. The side of the support plate 301 away from the support horizontal plate 302 is fixedly connected to the mounting base of the pump 304 by bolts. The pump 304 is connected to the pigment tank 303 through a pipe. The pump 304 is electrically connected to the controller 4. The pigment tank 303 is connected to the pipe interface at the top of the mixing tank 601 connected to the bracket 1 through a pipe. The drive motor 606 is electrically connected to the controller 4.

[0041] The bracket 1 is installed and fixed by the fasteners 2 at both ends, providing stable support for the entire mechanism. Its internal cavity can be used for pipe laying and wiring connection, which facilitates the layout of internal wiring and pipes. The controller 4 is installed at the top middle position of the bracket 1 to control the operation of the entire equipment. The infusion pipe 5 is installed at one end of the bracket 1 and below the controller 4 to connect to external liquid and introduce external liquid into the equipment. In the mixing component 3, the support plate 301 is fixedly connected to the bracket 1. One end of the support plate 302 is connected to the support plate 301, and the pigment tank 303 is fixedly installed at the other end to store the pigments and other raw materials required for ink mixing. The controller 4 can control the operation of the pump 304. After the pump 304 is started, it draws out the raw materials in the pigment tank 303 and transports them through the pipeline to the pipe interface at the top of the mixing tank 601, so that the raw materials enter the mixing tank 601.

[0042] It should be noted that the connection method of the pump 304, the connecting wires and the control equipment is existing and mature technology, so the specific connection relationship will not be described in detail. It can be used by installing the existing connection assembly.

[0043] The implementation principle of the ink mixing and stirring mechanism in this application embodiment is as follows: A support 1 is fixed by fasteners 2 at both ends. A controller 4 is installed at the top center of the support 1. An external liquid is connected to an infusion pipe 5. A support plate 301 is connected to the support 1. A support cross plate 302 is connected to the support plate 301. A pigment tank 303 below the support 301 stores the pigments for ink mixing. The controller 4 controls a pump 304, which extracts the raw materials from the pigment tank 303 and transports them to the top interface of the mixing tank 601. The raw materials then enter the mixing tank. The mixing chamber 602 of tank 601 has a dividing strip 6020 inside which cuts the liquid material. The mixed liquid material flows into the stirring chamber 604 through the liquid outlet A6021 at the bottom of the mixing chamber 602 and the conveying pipe 603. The drive motor 606 is powered on, and the drive shaft 607 rotates, which drives the stirring fan 605 to rotate. The uniformly stirred ink is discharged into the stirring tank 601 through the liquid outlet B6040 on the outer periphery of the stirring tank 604. Finally, the mixed ink is discharged from the discharge port at the bottom of the outer periphery of the stirring tank 601, completing the ink preparation, mixing and stirring work.
