Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of ink humidity control technology, specifically to an intelligent ink humidity control device and its control system. Background Technology

[0002] The moisture content of inks is usually adjusted by adding tack reducers and ink thinners to change the ink's fluidity and make it meet the usage standards.

[0003] Whether adding tack reducer or ink modifier, the ink needs to be stirred using an ink humidity control device to ensure that its components are evenly mixed. The dosage of these components is usually determined based on empirically obtained proportions. However, ink humidity is also affected by ambient temperature, as is the humidity of the modifiers added. Therefore, when the ambient temperature changes, the viscosity of the ink produced by adjusting the modifier proportions based solely on experience may not meet the actual usage requirements.

[0016] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. These drawings are simplified schematic diagrams, illustrating only the basic structure of the invention, and therefore only show the components relevant to the invention.

[0017] Please see Figure 1-11 The present invention provides a technical solution: an intelligent ink humidity regulating device, including a sealing component 1, an ink cartridge 2 and an regulating component 3, wherein the sealing component 1 is located at the opening end of the ink cartridge 2 and the regulating component 3 is located inside the ink cartridge 2.

[0018] The sealing assembly 1 includes an end cap 11, a widened wheel 12, a bolt 13, and two brake components 14.

[0019] The end cap 11 has a through hole 110, multiple connecting pipes 111, and two fixing rods 112.

[0020] The widened wheel 12 has a prismatic hole 120.

[0021] Two fixing rods 112 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the widened wheel 12.

[0022] Two brake components 14 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the widened wheel 12. A brake strip 141 is provided on the side of the brake component 14 closest to the widened wheel 12. An extension rod 142 is fixed on the brake component 14. One end of the brake component 14 is flexibly connected to the fixing rod 112.

[0023] The ink cartridge 2 has an annular boss 21 inside, and several limiting holes 210 are opened on the annular boss 21.

[0024] The adjustment assembly 3 includes an adjustment section 31 and an adjustment section 32.

[0025] The adjustment section 31 includes two outer rings 311, an inner ring 312, and a top frame 313.

[0026] Multiple stirring rods are provided between the two outer rings 311.

[0027] Multiple stirring rods 3121 are provided between the inner ring 312 and the top frame 313.

[0028] A top frame 313 is located inside one of the outer rings 311 and is fixedly connected to the outer ring 311. A rotating shaft 3131 is fixed on the end face of the top frame 313 away from the inner ring 312. The rotating shaft 3131 passes through the through hole 110. A prism 3132 is provided at the end of the rotating shaft 3131 away from the top frame 313. A widening wheel 12 is fitted onto the prism 3132 by means of a prism hole 120 fitted onto the prism 3132. A bolt 13 is fixed to the top of the prism 3132, and the edge of the bolt 13 abuts against the widening wheel 12.

[0029] The adjustment section 2 32 includes two outer rings 2 321, one inner ring 2 322, and a top frame 2 323.

[0030] Multiple stirring rods 3211 are provided between the two outer rings 221.

[0031] Multiple stirring rods 3221 are provided between the inner ring 2 322 and the top frame 2 323.

[0032] The top frame 323 is located inside the outer ring 321 and is fixedly connected to the outer ring 321. Multiple limiting rods 3231 are provided on the end face of the top frame 323 away from the inner ring 322. The limiting rods 3231 are inserted into the limiting hole 210.

[0033] Several pressure sensors are installed on stirring rod 1 (3111), stirring rod 2 (3121), stirring rod 3 (3211), and stirring rod 4 (3221).

[0034] The outer ring 311 of the adjustment part 31 is inserted between the outer ring 321 and the inner ring 322 of the adjustment part 32, and the inner ring 312 of the adjustment part 31 is inserted inside the inner ring 322.

[0035] Ink and modifier are filled into ink cartridge 2. Since the outer ring 311 of adjustment part 1 31 is inserted between the outer ring 321 and the inner ring 322 of adjustment part 2 32, and the inner ring 312 of adjustment part 1 31 is inserted inside the inner ring 322, adjustment part 1 31 is driven to rotate by external torque. During this process, the stirring rod 3211 on the outer ring 2 321 and the stirring rod 3111 on the outer ring 1 311 rotate in opposite directions to stir the outermost ink and modifier. Similarly, stirring rod 3111 on outer ring 311 and stirring rod 3221 on inner ring 322 stir the ink and regulator in the middle in the same way. Stirring rod 3221 on inner ring 322 and stirring rod 3121 on inner ring 312 stir the ink and regulator in the innermost part, forming multiple opposing rotational shear forces. This method can quickly mix ink and regulator, and the mixing effect of ink and regulator in this way is better.

[0036] The inner wall of the ink cartridge 2 is set at an angle. When the adjustment part 31 rotates, the ink and regulator are moved upward in a spiral manner along the inclined inner wall of the ink cartridge 2 by centrifugal motion under the rotation of the adjustment part 31. Finally, when it touches the end cover 11, it falls back to the center of the ink cartridge 2 and rises again in a spiral manner under the action of the adjustment part 31. This cycle repeats, which can repeatedly stir the ink and regulator.

[0037] By bringing the two extension rods 142 together, the friction generated by the two brakes 14 pressing the widening wheel 12 can quickly brake the adjustment section 31. By adjusting the degree to which the two extension rods 142 are brought together, the magnitude of the friction generated by the two brakes 14 pressing the widening wheel 12 can be adjusted, thereby controlling the speed of the adjustment section 31, i.e. changing the stirring speed of the ink.

[0038] A control system for an intelligent ink humidity regulating device includes a pressure setting module, a data acquisition module, and a data processing module; The module is configured with pressure thresholds and rotation radius data for each pressure sensor. The data acquisition module is configured with an acquisition strategy and an error threshold. The acquisition strategy includes acquiring the real-time pressure data of the pressure sensor and comparing the real-time pressure data with the pressure threshold and the error threshold. When the real-time pressure data is within the pressure threshold range and the error range of the real-time pressure data does not exceed the error threshold, the real-time pressure data of the pressure sensor is acquired at this time. The data processing module is configured with a humidity determination strategy and a humidity threshold. The humidity determination strategy includes acquiring real-time pressure data and comparing it with the humidity threshold, and outputting the humidity determination result. The data processing module is equipped with a mixing degree determination strategy and multiple floating thresholds corresponding to different rotation radius data; The mixing degree determination strategy includes acquiring real-time pressure data and rotation radius data from all pressure sensors, classifying the real-time pressure data according to the rotation radius data, comparing real-time pressure data with the same rotation radius data with the corresponding floating threshold, and outputting the mixing degree comparison result.

[0039] Based on the ink humidity regulating device and its control system described above, the regulation of ink humidity can be divided into several steps: Step 1: Disconnect the pressure sensor from the power supply and use external torque to control the adjustment unit 31 to rotate rapidly, so as to quickly mix the ink and the modifier. Step 2: The external torque control unit 31 rotates at a reduced speed. The pressure sensor on the stirring rod 3211 is powered on. The pressure sensor measures the real-time pressure data. The data acquisition module acquires the real-time pressure data from the pressure sensor and compares the real-time pressure data with the pressure threshold and the error threshold. When the real-time pressure data is within the pressure threshold range and the error range of the real-time pressure data does not exceed the error threshold, it is determined that the ink and the modifier are initially mixed. The real-time pressure data of the pressure sensor is then acquired. Step 3: The humidity determination strategy of the data processing module acquires real-time pressure data and compares it with the humidity threshold, outputs the humidity determination result. If the real-time pressure data is less than the humidity threshold, the humidity of the ink is adjusted by filling the ink cartridge 2 with a tackifier to increase its humidity. Then, the adjustment unit 31 is driven by external torque to rotate rapidly to quickly mix the ink and the tackifier. The operation of step 2 is repeated until the real-time pressure data is within the humidity threshold range, then the humidity of the ink is determined to meet the requirements. Step 4: Control the adjustment unit 31 to rotate at a reduced speed using external torque, and power on all pressure sensors. Classify the real-time pressure data measured by all pressure sensors according to the radius data of the pressure sensors. Compare the real-time pressure data with the same rotation radius data with the corresponding floating threshold. If all real-time pressure data are within the range of the floating threshold, the mixing degree between the ink and the regulator is high and the quality is good. If some real-time pressure data are not within the range of the floating threshold, power off all pressure sensors, control the adjustment unit 31 to rotate at high speed for a certain period of time using external torque, preferably 5 seconds, and then reduce the speed. Power on all pressure sensors again, and compare the measured real-time pressure data with the floating threshold again until all real-time pressure data are within the range of the floating threshold. Then control the adjustment unit 31 to stop rotating.

[0040] By following the steps above, ink with the required humidity can be quickly adjusted, and the ink adjusted in this way has a high degree of mixing and good quality.

[0041] Based on the above-described preferred embodiments of the present invention, and through the foregoing description, those skilled in the art can make various changes and modifications without departing from the scope of the present invention. The technical scope of this invention is not limited to the contents of the specification, but must be determined according to the scope of the claims.
