Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of ink storage, in particular to an ink storage barrel. Background Art

[0002] Ink products are mainly packaged in the form of bottles and barrels. Due to the different demands for ink in different industries, the demand for ink in the printing field is very large. Therefore, the maximum volume of ink barrels supplied to printing companies is 200 liters, and specifications of dozens of liters are very common.

[0003] Due to the large weight of large-capacity ink barrels, they are often equipped with independent metal handle rings or two earrings for transportation. Such handles are mainly used for personnel operation. Sometimes the ink barrel needs to be lifted and dropped. At this time, the handle setting is difficult to be linked with mechanical equipment, so the ink material needs to be transferred to a special drop bucket for operation.

[0004] There is another problem with large-capacity ink barrels. During the use of ink, there are many processes that require the use of small-specification inks. For example, the inspection department, R&D department, and the production process of small-order customers do not have much demand for ink. If multiple volume specifications are purchased, procurement will be complicated and the cost-effectiveness will be lower than that of large-capacity specifications. Large-capacity inks are difficult to use when used for small demands.

[0005] A Chinese patent discloses a UV offset ink packaging barrel with anti-oxidation effect, and its publication number is (CN117163504A). The patent sets a discharge mechanism on the side of the barrel and an extrusion mechanism on the top of the barrel. The extrusion force is used to overcome the influence of ink viscosity on the discharge, so that the ink is discharged through the discharge mechanism. This method can solve the small amount of large-capacity barrels. However, the packaging barrel is difficult to use due to the height limit. First of all, the discharge mechanism is set at the bottom, so the packaging barrel needs to be placed at a high point for easy access. For large-capacity barrels of several hundred liters, a sturdy load-bearing platform is also required for carrying. If the position is too low, it is easy for the container to be unable to be located under the discharge mechanism and cannot be used. It is difficult to place at a high position. Summary of the invention

[0006] The object of the present invention is to provide an ink storage barrel to solve the problems raised in the above background technology.

[0007] To achieve the above object, the present invention provides the following technical solutions:

[0008] An ink storage barrel comprises a barrel body and a fixed outer cover which is sealably detachably connected to the top of the barrel body, four raised ribs are fixedly connected to the circumference of the barrel body, the four raised ribs are distributed in pairs to form two annular grooves, a restraining mechanism is fixedly connected to the circumference of the barrel body, the restraining mechanism comprises a transverse restraining band fixed between two of the raised ribs and two end connecting bands fixed to the upper and lower ends of the barrel body, an axial connecting band is fixedly connected between two adjacent end connecting bands, and the axial connecting band is restrained in the annular groove by the transverse restraining band;

[0009] An axially damping movable inner cover is slidably connected to the inside of the barrel body, a protective air cavity is formed between the fixed outer cover and the axially damping movable inner cover, two protective gas delivery holes are arranged on the top of the fixed outer cover, a liquid outlet pipe is fixedly connected to the center of the axially damping movable inner cover, a valve pipe is fixedly connected to the top of the liquid outlet pipe, and a quantitative cup is detachably connected to the top of the liquid outlet pipe.

[0010] As a further solution of the present invention: both ends of the axial connecting belt have end bends, the end bends are located between the end connecting belt and the transverse restraining belt, and an elastic U-shaped metal sheet is fixedly connected inside the end bends.

[0011] As a further solution of the present invention: the valve tube is located above the axial damping movable inner cover, and the metering cup is plugged and fixed to the valve tube.

[0012] As a further solution of the present invention: the cavity of the quantitative cup is disc-shaped or cylindrical, and the cylindrical cavity is provided with scale lines.

[0015] As a further solution of the present invention: a sealing strip is provided on the peripheral side of the axial damping movable inner cover.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0017] First of all, the barrel body adopts a brand-new belt-type restraint, which can be used for lifting, hand-held and even flipping operations. Since there will be no independent stress points on the entire barrel body, the reaction force is evenly applied to the barrel body and raised ribs through the end connecting belt and the horizontal restraint belt, thereby avoiding damage to the barrel body. A combination of closed plates and movable plates is adopted, and pressurized protective gas is injected into the cavity between the two plates to prevent the ink from contacting the air. It is used for long-term storage. When in use, the reaction force of the descending movable plate is used to make the liquid rise to the collector. It is still convenient to use when stored on the ground, and the measuring cup can be replaced according to needs to achieve quantitative collection, which completely solves the large demand for industrial ink and the low price of purchasing large-size ink barrels, while solving the limitations of the use of large-capacity ink barrels.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0025] See also Figure 1-Figure 5In this embodiment, it includes a barrel body 1 and a fixed outer cover 3 which is sealed and detachably connected to the top of the barrel body 1. Four raised ribs 11 are fixedly connected to the circumference of the barrel body 1. The four raised ribs 11 are distributed in pairs to form two annular grooves. A binding mechanism 2 is fixedly connected to the circumference of the barrel body 1. The binding mechanism 2 includes a transverse binding belt 22 fixed between the two raised ribs 11 and two end connecting belts 24 fixed to the upper and lower ends of the barrel body 1. An axial connecting belt 21 is fixedly connected between two adjacent end connecting belts 24. The axial connecting belt 21 is bound in the annular groove by the transverse binding belt 22. An axial damping movable inner cover 4 is slidably connected inside the barrel body 1. A protective gas cavity is formed between the fixed outer cover 3 and the axial damping movable inner cover 4. Two protective gas delivery holes 31 are arranged on the top of the fixed outer cover 3. A liquid outlet pipe 41 is fixedly connected to the center of the axial damping movable inner cover 4. A valve pipe 42 is fixedly connected to the top of the liquid outlet pipe 41. A quantitative cup 43 is detachably connected to the top of the liquid outlet pipe 41.

[0026] In this embodiment, in order to ensure the stability of the transport connection node of the barrel body 1, a restraining mechanism 2 is used as a connector between the barrel body 1 and other transport components. First, raised ribs 11 are set on the circumferential side of the barrel body 1. The raised ribs 11 distributed in groups of two form two vertically distributed annular grooves. The annular grooves are restrained with transverse restraining belts 22, and the axial connecting belts 21 are distributed along the axial direction of the barrel body 1 on the circumferential side of the barrel body 1. At the same time, the axial connecting belt 21 passes through the bottom surface of the annular groove and the transverse restraining belt 22. The end of the axial connecting belt 21 extends to the top of the barrel body 1 or the bottom of the barrel body 1 and is then fixedly connected to the end connecting belt 24. At this time, the middle part of the axial connecting belt 21 is supported by two raised ribs 11 to form a suspended long belt. When the remaining amount in the barrel is reduced or the barrel is empty, personnel can hold the axial connecting belt 21 to pick up and transport the barrel body 1.

[0027] In this embodiment, when the interior of the barrel body 1 is filled with ink, the curved endpoint bend 23 allows the forklift front fork or the hook to be inserted very easily, and the barrel body 1 can be lifted by the endpoint bend 23. At this time, under the influence of the raised rib 11, the endpoint bend 23 only undergoes a slight displacement to remain fixed.

[0028] In this embodiment, when the equipment needs to be lifted and tilted for delivery, a rod-like tool can be inserted into the two end point bends 23 of the axial distribution, thereby driving the barrel body 1 to change its angle for delivery of ink. Since there will be no independent force points on the entire barrel body 1, the reaction force is evenly applied to the barrel body 1 and the raised ribs 11 through the end connecting belt 24 and the transverse restraining belt 22, thereby avoiding damage to the barrel body 1. The structure is simple and suitable for large-capacity barrels of more than 10 liters that are difficult or impossible for operators to carry.

[0029] In this embodiment, ink is easy to oxidize, and a large-capacity barrel needs to have a small amount of access function if it is needed. The present invention sets an axial damping movable inner cover 4 inside the barrel body 1. After the filling inside the barrel body 1 is completed, the axial damping movable inner cover 4 drops to the ink liquid level, and the pressurized protective gas is filled through the protective gas delivery hole 31, so that the pressure is applied to the top surface of the axial damping movable inner cover 4 to ensure that the axial damping movable inner cover 4 is in contact with the ink liquid level. When in use, the fixed outer cover 3 is opened, and the axial damping movable inner cover 4 still seals the ink inside the barrel body 1, and the ink does not come into contact with the air.

[0030] In this embodiment, when the entire barrel body 1 needs to be placed into the equipment or the use area, the exhaust pipe 44 can be opened, and the axial damping movable inner cover 4 can be directly taken out from the barrel body 1, and a small amount of placement can be achieved through the protective gas delivery hole 31, or the fixed outer cover 3 can be opened, connected to the mechanical equipment by the restraining mechanism 2, and directly placed into the use area through the open mouth of the barrel body 1.

[0031] In this embodiment, if the barrel is half full, the axial damping movable inner cover 4 can be placed inside the barrel body 1, the exhaust pipe 44 is opened, the axial damping movable inner cover 4 is pressed downward to contact the ink liquid surface, and the air is discharged through the exhaust pipe 44 until a small amount of ink is discharged from the exhaust pipe 44, and then the ink is wiped off and the exhaust pipe 44 is closed. When a small amount of ink is taken, the valve tube 42 is opened, and the axial damping movable inner cover 4 is pressed downward. Under the reaction force, the ink enters the quantitative cup 43 through the liquid outlet pipe 41 and the valve tube 42. At this time, the valve tube 42 is closed, and the ink remaining in the quantitative cup 43 can be used independently. An independent closed valve can also be set at the bottom of the quantitative cup 43. After the valve tube 42 is closed, the bottom valve of the quantitative cup 43 is closed, and the quantitative cup 43 can be taken away for use. The above-mentioned access method can solve the problems of large ink barrel volume and difficulty in lifting and placing. It can still be used when placed on the ground. As the frequency and number of uses increase, the height of the axial damping movable inner cover 4 decreases, and the ink on the inner wall of the barrel body 1 is continuously scraped off through the sealing layer of the side wall of the axial damping movable inner cover 4, so that the ink is effectively utilized.

[0032] In this embodiment, both ends of the axial connecting belt 21 have end bends 23 , which are located between the end connecting belt 24 and the transverse restraining belt 22 , and an elastic U-shaped metal sheet is fixedly connected inside the end bends 23 .

[0033] In this embodiment, the elastic U-shaped metal sheet is attached to the end point bend 23, so that the two ends of the axial connecting belt 21 naturally form a curved end point bend 23 when no force is applied, thereby facilitating the insertion of the lifting node or the forklift front fork. When a person holds it, the end point bend 23 is elastically deformed, providing part of the margin to the suspended part of the axial connecting belt 21.

[0034] In this embodiment, the valve tube 42 is located above the axially damping movable inner cover 4, and the quantitative cup 43 is plugged and fixed to the valve tube 42. When the quantitative cup 43 is used up but not separated from the valve tube 42, the valve tube 42 is closed to prevent the ink below the valve tube 42 from contacting with the air, thereby protecting the ink quality.

[0035] In this embodiment, the cavity of the quantitative cup 43 is disc-shaped or cylindrical, and the cylindrical cavity is provided with scale lines. The disc-shaped quantitative cup 43 allows the ink to be taken out to expand on a larger horizontal surface, which is convenient for sweeping and brushing. The cylindrical cavity is also provided with scales, and the user controls the pressing stroke of the axial damping movable inner cover 4 to gradually raise the liquid level to the required amount for taking.

[0036] In this embodiment, an exhaust pipe 44 is provided at the top of the axial damping movable inner cover 4, and the top of the exhaust pipe 44 and the top of the protective gas delivery hole 31 are both closed by the cover body. During the inflation process of the protective gas delivery hole 31, the protective gas sinks, and the air is discharged from the other protective gas delivery hole 31 until there is completely protective gas between the fixed outer cover 3 and the axial damping movable inner cover 4. At this time, one of the protective gas delivery holes 31 is closed, and inflation continues through the other protective gas delivery hole 31, so that the air pressure in the fixed outer cover 3 and the axial damping movable inner cover 4 increases, and the pressure is applied to the axial damping movable inner cover 4, so that the axial damping movable inner cover 4 will not move easily, meeting the transportation requirements.

[0037] In this embodiment, foam blocks are filled between the bottom surface of the inner wall of the fixed outer cover 3 and the top surface of the axial damping movable inner cover 4; the foam blocks can play a supporting role between the fixed outer cover 3 and the axial damping movable inner cover 4, further preventing the axial damping movable inner cover 4 from moving.

[0038] In this embodiment, a sealing strip is arranged on the circumference of the axially damping movable inner cover 4. Resistance is generated between the sealing strip and the barrel body 1, so that the barrel body 1 will not slide easily.

[0039] What is described above is only a preferred specific implementation manner of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any technician familiar with the technical field can make equivalent replacements or changes according to the technical scheme and inventive concept of the present invention within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention, which should be covered by the protection scope of the present invention.
