DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0048] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the present application more clearly understood, the present application is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present application and are not used to limit the present application.

[0049] All terms (including technical and scientific terms) used in this application have the meanings commonly understood by those skilled in the art, unless otherwise defined. It should be noted that the terms used here should be interpreted as having a meaning consistent with the context of this specification, and should not be interpreted in an idealized or overly rigid manner.

[0050] For example, the terms "first", "second", etc. used in this application are only used to distinguish similar objects and to differentiate the first object from another object, rather than to describe a specific order or sequence, and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0051] The present application proposes a masterbatch barrel conveying device, combined with Figures 1 to 8 As shown, the conveying device includes a guide rail 3, a driving wheel set 5, a conveying part 6, a masterbatch barrel mounting part 4, a wheel set driving part 7 and a clutch assembly 8.

[0052] The guide rail 3 may be a linear guide rail or an annular guide rail. The annular guide rail may be a circular, elliptical, or any other suitable shape. Optionally, the annular guide rail may be a guide rail with arcs (such as semicircles) at both ends and a linear middle section.

[0053] The driving wheel set 5 may include one or more driving wheels, and the driving wheels are connected to a rotating shaft 5-3. The driving wheels rotate under the drive of the connected rotating shaft, thereby further driving the transmission part 6 sleeved on the driving wheels to rotate. The transmission part 6 can be a conveyor belt or any other suitable transmission component.

[0054] The masterbatch barrel mounting part 4 may be provided with one or more for mounting and fixing the corresponding masterbatch barrel 20. Each masterbatch barrel mounting part 4 is fixed on the corresponding conveying part 6 and moves synchronously with the conveying part 6. The conveying part moves along the guide rail under the drive of the driving wheel group, thereby driving the masterbatch barrel mounting part to move synchronously along the guide rail.

[0055] The conveying part 6 is sleeved on the driving wheel set 5, and has an outer side close to the guide rail (far away from the driving wheel set) and an inner side far away from the guide rail (close to the driving wheel set). The masterbatch barrel mounting part 4 is arranged outside the conveying part 6, in the space surrounded by the conveying part 6 and the enclosure 9, and moves in the space. When multiple masterbatch barrel mounting parts are provided, each masterbatch barrel mounting part can be evenly or unevenly arranged on the conveying part.

[0056] The wheel drive unit 7 is used to drive the rotating shaft 5-3 to rotate, so that the conveying unit and the masterbatch barrel installation unit move along the guide rail 3. Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the wheel set driving part 7 is provided with a driving motor body 7-1 and a driving motor output shaft 7-2, and the driving motor body 7-1 can drive the driving motor output shaft 7-2 to rotate. The clutch body 8-7 is connected to the rotating shaft 5-3 of the driving wheel set 5, and the rotating shaft 5-3 rotates with the rotation of the driving motor output shaft 7-2. The driving motor body can be specifically a turbine reduction motor.

[0057] The clutch assembly 8 is used to separate and engage the driving wheel group and the wheel group driving part, and comprises a clutch motor 8-4 and a clutch body 8-7 connected to each other. Wherein, the clutch motor 8-4 drives the clutch body 8-7 to move in the vertical direction. When the clutch body moves to the first position, the driving motor output shaft and the rotating shaft are connected by the clutch body, and the driving motor body transmits power to the driving wheel group through the clutch body. The driving wheel group rotates under the drive of the driving motor body and drives the conveying part and the masterbatch barrel installation part to move along the guide rail. When the clutch body moves to the second position, the clutch body is disconnected from the driving motor output shaft and / or the rotating shaft. At this time, the driving wheel group, the conveying part and the masterbatch barrel installation are no longer driven by the driving motor body, and the staff can manually rotate the conveying part. This design enables the conveying device to be flexibly started or stopped when needed, improving the flexibility and reliability of the equipment.

[0058] Among them, the first position is the position where the transmission connection between the rotating shaft and the output shaft is disconnected. When the clutch body is in the first position, the clutch assembly is in a disconnected state; the second position is the position where the transmission connection between the rotating shaft and the output shaft is realized. When the clutch body is in the second position, the clutch assembly is in a connected state.

[0059] In one embodiment, the masterbatch barrel conveying device further includes a first position sensor for measuring the position of the clutch assembly. By acquiring the position measured by the first position sensor through a related control component, it can be known whether the clutch body moves to the first position and / or the second position, and further whether the driving wheel assembly and the wheel assembly driving part are in a separated state or a coupled state.

[0060] Specifically, if Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the driving wheel, the transmission part and the guide rail of the driving wheel group are in or close to the same horizontal plane, and the clutch assembly is below the horizontal plane where the guide rail is located. The clutch body 8-7 is fixedly connected to the output shaft 7-2 of the driving motor. When the clutch motor 8-4 drives the clutch body 8-7 to move in the vertical direction, the output shaft 7-2 of the driving motor is driven to move synchronously in the vertical direction. At this time, when the clutch body moves to the second position, the clutch body 8-7 is disconnected from the rotating shaft 5-3.

[0061] The masterbatch barrel conveying device in the present application can set the clutch to the disconnected state when the staff installs or removes the masterbatch barrel, so that the transmission between the output shaft of the drive motor and the rotating shaft is disconnected. At this time, the staff can easily manually rotate the conveying part, and synchronously rotate the masterbatch barrel mounting part to the vicinity of its own position, and then quickly install the masterbatch barrel on the masterbatch barrel mounting part, or remove the masterbatch barrel from the masterbatch barrel mounting part. After the masterbatch barrel is installed, the clutch is set to the connected state, so that the output shaft of the drive motor and the rotating shaft are connected in transmission, and then the main body of the drive motor is used to orderly drive the rotating shaft to rotate, thereby driving the conveying part to rotate, and the masterbatch barrel is rotated to the working position, and the color paste in the masterbatch barrel is orderly and controllably beaten out through the relevant pumping mechanism.

[0062] In one embodiment, the clutch assembly 8 also includes a screw rod 8-2 and a lifting part sleeved on the screw rod, the clutch body is fixed on the lifting part, and the clutch motor drives the screw rod to rotate, thereby driving the lifting part to move in the first direction.

[0063] Wherein, the clutch assembly 8 can be installed on the frame 1 of the color mixing device. The clutch motor 8-4 is located directly below the screw rod 8-2. The screw rod 8-2 is provided with a thread. The first end of the lifting part is provided with a threaded hole matching the thread. The lifting part is inserted into the screw rod through the threaded hole. The second end of the lifting part away from the first end is sleeved and fixed on the output shaft of the driving motor. The clutch motor 8-4 drives the screw rod 8-2 to rotate. Under the rotation of the screw rod 8-2, the lifting part moves in the vertical direction, thereby driving the wheel group driving part 7 to move up and down synchronously. When the lifting part moves upward from the second position to the first position, the upper end of the lifting part is sleeved on the rotating shaft and fixed to the rotating shaft. When the output shaft of the driving motor rotates, the rotating shaft rotates synchronously through the transmission of the lifting part. The lifting part can be an integrated component or assembled from multiple components.

[0064] In one embodiment, the clutch assembly also includes a retaining rod parallel to the screw rod; the lifting part includes a nut seat and a fixing plate fixedly connected to the nut seat, the nut seat is passed through the screw rod and the retaining rod, and the fixing plate is fixedly connected to the drive motor body and the clutch body.

[0065] Combination Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the clutch assembly 8 also includes a mounting frame 8-1, in which a vertical screw rod 8-2 and a retaining rod 8-3 arranged parallel thereto are mounted, and a clutch motor 8-4 for driving the screw rod 8-2 to rotate is arranged on the mounting frame 8-1, and a nut seat 8-5 is sleeved between the screw rod 8-2 and the retaining rod 8-3, and the screw rod 8-2 is driven to rotate by the clutch motor 8-4, and the nut seat 8-5 moves up and down in the mounting frame 8-1.

[0066] There are two first sensors, which are respectively arranged on the upper top surface and the lower bottom surface of the mounting frame 8-1, and are used to measure the position of the nut seat 8-5. The position of the nut seat can be the height of the nut seat, or the distance from the upper top surface and / or the lower top surface. Since the position of the nut seat is relatively fixed to the position of the clutch body, the position of the clutch body can be known when the position of the nut seat is known.

[0067] The nut seat 8-5 is provided with a fixing plate 8-6, and the fixing plate 8-6 is provided with a wheel set driving unit 7. Specifically, the wheel set driving unit can pass through the hole on the fixing plate 8-6, so that the output shaft 7-2 of the driving motor of the wheel set driving unit extends from the top of the fixing plate 8-6. The clutch body 8-7 is located at the upper end of the fixing plate 8-6, and is sleeved on the output shaft 7-2 of the driving motor.

[0068] The output shaft of the driving motor body 7-1 and the lower end of the rotating shaft 5-3 are transmitted through the clutch body 8-7. Driven by the fixing plate 8-6 in the up and down directions, the clutch body 8-7 can controllably disconnect and connect the transmission between the driving motor body 7-1 and the rotating shaft 5-3. In the process of moving upward to the first position, the clutch body 8-7 is fixed to the rotating shaft 5-3 by means of a card connection or a threaded connection; and is separated from the rotating shaft 5-3 in the process of moving downward to the second position.

[0069] When it is necessary to install a masterbatch barrel on the masterbatch barrel mounting part 4, the clutch body 8-7 is used to disconnect the transmission of the drive motor body 7-1 and the rotating shaft 5-3. At this time, the staff can manually rotate the conveying part 6 to quickly install the masterbatch barrel module on the masterbatch barrel mounting part 4 on the conveying part 6. After the installation is completed, the clutch body 8-7 is used to connect the drive motor body 7-1 with the rotating shaft 5-3, and then the drive motor body 7-1 is used to drive the conveying part 6 to rotate in an orderly manner.

[0070] In one embodiment, the guide rail includes a first semicircular segment, a first straight segment, a second semicircular segment, and a second straight segment connected in sequence. Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the guide rail is a guide rail with semicircular ends and a straight line in the middle.

[0071] Combination Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 7As shown, the driving wheel group 5 also includes a driven wheel 5-2 and a driving wheel 5-1 connected to the rotating shaft 5-3. The driving wheel is located at the center of the first semicircle segment, and the driven wheel is located at the center of the second semicircle segment. The transmission part is sleeved on the driving wheel and the driven wheel, so that the distance between the transmission part and the guide rail at each position is the same or substantially the same.

[0072] like Figures 8 to 13 As shown, the masterbatch barrel mounting part 4 is used to carry the masterbatch barrel 20 and move along the guide rail 3, including a masterbatch barrel fixing part and a pulley assembly 41 located below the masterbatch barrel fixing part, one end of the masterbatch barrel fixing part is fixed to the conveying part 6, and the masterbatch barrel 20 can be installed on the masterbatch barrel fixing part. Each pulley assembly 41 is provided with a sliding groove, and the sliding groove of at least one pulley assembly 41 is clamped on the inner side of the guide rail 3, and the sliding groove of at least another pulley assembly 41 is clamped on the outer side of the guide rail 3. For example, the pulley assembly 41 is arranged in two rows, one row of which is clamped on the outer side of the guide rail, and the other row is clamped on the inner side of the guide rail. The pulley assembly 41 can support the masterbatch barrel fixing part on the guide rail, and the masterbatch barrel mounting part 4 can move on the guide rail 3 as the conveying part 6 rotates.

[0073] In one embodiment, the masterbatch barrel fixing member includes a masterbatch barrel supporting top plate 42 fixed to the top surface of the pulley assembly 41 and a masterbatch barrel retaining edge 43 disposed on the masterbatch barrel supporting top plate 42. The masterbatch barrel supporting top plate 42 is used to carry the masterbatch barrel 20, and the masterbatch barrel retaining edge 43 is used to fix the masterbatch barrel 20.

[0074] like Fig.10 As shown, the masterbatch barrel 20 is arranged on the upper top surface of the masterbatch barrel support top plate 42, including a barrel body 20-1 and an ear 20-2 protruding from the barrel body 20-1. The barrel body 20-1 is the main part of the masterbatch barrel 20, which is used to store masterbatch paint; the ear 20-2 is arranged at the bottom of the barrel body 20-1, and part of the ear protrudes horizontally from the barrel body 20-1. The ear 20-2 cooperates with the masterbatch barrel retaining edge 43 in the horizontal direction perpendicular to the upper limit of the moving direction, so that the masterbatch barrel 20 moves on the guide rail 3 following the masterbatch barrel mounting part 4, reducing shaking or displacement.

[0075] In one embodiment, Fig. 9 As shown, the pulley assembly 41 is used to realize the movement function, and includes a plurality of bearings 411, each bearing 411 is provided with a sliding groove, the sliding groove of at least one bearing 411 is clamped on the inner side of the guide rail 3, and the sliding groove of at least another bearing 411 is clamped on the outer side of the guide rail 3. The sliding groove is arranged on the outer peripheral surface of the bearing 411, and the shape of the sliding groove can be rectangular, V-shaped or U-shaped, depending on the shape of the guide rail 3. The sliding groove cooperates with the inner side and the outer side of the guide rail 3, so that the bearing 411 can roll or slide on the guide rail 3, thereby realizing the movement of the pulley assembly 41.

[0076] In one embodiment, the pulley assembly 41 may further include: a pulley fixing plate 412, used to fix and support the entire pulley assembly 41; slider bearing shafts 413, the number of which matches the number of bearings 411, protrudingly fixed to the lower bottom surface of the pulley fixing plate 412, used to install the bearings 411. The bearings 411 are inserted into the protruding portion of the slider bearing shaft 413, and this fit allows the bearings 411 to rotate freely on the slider bearing shaft 413, while being fixed to the pulley fixing plate 412 through the slider bearing shaft 413.

[0077] The pulley assembly 41 can not only provide stable support and reduce friction, but also ensure that the masterbatch barrel mounting portion 4 moves smoothly along the guide rail 3, thereby improving the efficiency and reliability of the entire masterbatch barrel conveying device 10.

[0078] In one embodiment, Fig.11 As shown, the masterbatch barrel rib 43 includes a first rib 431 arranged at the first end 421 of the masterbatch barrel supporting top plate 42 and a second rib 432 arranged at the second end 422 of the masterbatch barrel supporting top plate 42, the first rib 431 and the second rib 432 are perpendicular to the moving direction of the masterbatch mounting portion 4 on the guide rail 3; the ear 20-2 is inserted into the gap formed by the first rib 431 and the second rib 432 to form a limit fit.

[0079] Specifically, a slot is formed between the masterbatch barrel rib 43 and the masterbatch barrel support top plate 42, and the ear edge 20-2 is inserted into the slot between the masterbatch barrel rib 43 and the masterbatch barrel support top plate 42 to form a limited fit. A first slot is formed between the first rib 431 and the first end 421 of the masterbatch barrel support top plate 42; a second slot is formed between the second rib 432 and the second end 422 of the masterbatch barrel support top plate 42; a portion of the ear edge 20-2 facing the first end is inserted into the first slot, and a portion of the ear edge 20-2 facing the second end is inserted into the second slot, thereby forming a limited fit.

[0080] The size and shape of the ear 20-2 should be precisely matched with the gap formed by the first rib 431 and the second rib 432 to ensure stable fit. The first rib 431 and the second rib 432 are perpendicular to the moving direction of the masterbatch barrel mounting portion 4 on the guide rail 3 to ensure that the masterbatch barrel will not shake or shift during movement. Moreover, the first rib 431 and the second rib 432 are parallel, which is conducive to the insertion of the ear 20-2.

[0081] In one embodiment, the first end 421 and / or the second end 422 of the masterbatch barrel support top plate 42 are tilted in the vertical upward direction to ensure the stability of the masterbatch barrel 20 during movement, and the ear 20-2 is tilted toward one side of the masterbatch barrel support top plate 42 to abut against the upper top surface of the masterbatch barrel support top plate 42. The precise matching of the ear 20-2 with the masterbatch barrel support top plate 42 helps to stably install the masterbatch barrel 20 and reduce the shaking of the masterbatch barrel 20 during movement.

[0082] Specifically, the angle of inclination of the lower bottom surface of the ear 20-2 toward the masterbatch barrel support top plate 42 matches the angle of inclination of the masterbatch barrel support top plate 42 to ensure stable fit. The upper top surface of the ear 20-2 toward the barrel body 20-1 needs to be kept horizontal to ensure the stability of the masterbatch barrel 20 and the uniform distribution of the masterbatch paint in the barrel, so as not to affect the injection accuracy of the masterbatch paint. In addition, the inclined setting helps to evenly distribute pressure and friction, reduce wear between the masterbatch barrel 20 and the masterbatch barrel support top plate 42, and extend the service life of the device.

[0083] In one embodiment, the first end 421 is set as the end of the masterbatch barrel support top plate 42 at the rear along the moving direction, and the second end 422 is set as the end of the masterbatch barrel support top plate 42 at the front along the moving direction. The masterbatch barrel support top plate 42 is tilted downward in the direction from the first end 421 to the second end 422, and the ear 20-2 is tilted toward one side of the masterbatch barrel support top plate 42 to abut against the upper top surface of the masterbatch barrel support top plate 42. When the masterbatch barrel 20 starts to move from a stationary state, the masterbatch barrel support top plate 42 tilted downward in the direction from the first end 421 to the second end 422 helps to limit the displacement of the masterbatch barrel 20, preventing it from excessively moving or deviating from the guide rail 3 under the action of inertia.

[0084] In one embodiment, Fig.12 and Fig.13 As shown, the masterbatch barrel installation part 4 also includes a connecting rod connection block 44 and a connecting rod 45. The connecting rod connection block 44 is arranged on the first side of the masterbatch barrel support top plate 42 close to the conveying part 6, and a second side of the connecting rod connection block 44 away from the first side is concavely provided with a limiting groove 47; the connecting rod 45 is horizontally penetrated through the groove wall of the limiting groove 47; the connecting rod fixing block 46 fixed on the conveying part 6, the connecting rod fixing block 46 is movably sleeved on the connecting rod, and inserted into the limiting groove 47.

[0085] Specifically, the conveying part 6 is connected to the connecting rod fixing block 46 to drive the masterbatch barrel mounting part 4 to move on the guide rail 3 through the connecting rod fixing block 46.

[0086] In the masterbatch barrel conveying device of the present application, on the one hand, the masterbatch barrel is limited in position by the ear 20-2 and the masterbatch barrel retaining edge 43 along the upper limit perpendicular to the moving direction. This design enables the masterbatch barrel to stably follow the masterbatch barrel mounting part 4 to move on the guide rail 3, reducing the shaking or displacement that may occur during the conveying process, thereby improving the stability of the entire conveying process. On the other hand, the limit matching method defined in the present application is a rigid connection method. Compared with the existing technology using elastic clamping plates, the rigid connection of the present application can eliminate the matching gap between the components, thereby not having a negative impact on the injection accuracy of the masterbatch barrel.

[0087] In one embodiment, in combination Figures 1 to 16 As shown, a color mixing device is also provided, which includes the above-mentioned masterbatch barrel conveying device, and also includes a frame 1, a workbench 2, and a fence 9 surrounding the masterbatch barrel mounting portion and the guide rail.

[0088] The workbench 2 is in the shape of a horizontal plate, and the horizontal workbench 2 divides the space inside the frame 1 into two parts, an upper part and an lower part. The guide rail 3, the conveying part 6, and the masterbatch barrel mounting part 4 are arranged on the upper surface of the workbench 2. The driving pulley 7-1 and the driven pulley 7-2 are respectively installed on the horizontal workbench 2 inside the guide rail 3 through the rotating shaft 5-3 and the driven shaft 6, and the rotating shaft 5-3 and the driven shaft 6 are respectively vertically located at the center of the circular arc section of the guide rail 3, and the conveying part 6 is arranged between the driving pulley 7-1 and the driven pulley 7-2.

[0089] like Figure 5 As shown, the workbench 2 is arranged on the frame 1, and is provided with a drop hole 2-1. When the masterbatch barrel mounting part is in the masterbatch barrel position (i.e., the liquid outlet position), the color paste in the masterbatch barrel on the masterbatch barrel mounting part can pass through the drop hole and enter the container under the workbench after being pumped out by the pumping mechanism.

[0090] Combination Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, a fence 9 of the same shape as the guide rail 3 is also provided on the upper surface of the horizontal workbench 2, and the fence 9 surrounds the guide rail 3 and the masterbatch barrel mounting part 4, leaving only an opening at the inlet and outlet on the horizontal workbench 2, so that the staff can load and unload the masterbatch barrel 9 on the masterbatch barrel mounting part 4 from here.

[0091] In one embodiment, the color mixing device further comprises: a lifting platform located below the drop hole, the lifting platform being used to place a container for accommodating the color paste flowing out of the masterbatch barrel.

[0096] The masterbatch barrel 20 is also provided with a handle 20-3. When the masterbatch barrel mounting portion is in the masterbatch barrel position, the controller controls the alignment motor to work, driving the alignment gripper to move toward the masterbatch barrel, so that the handle 20-3 of the masterbatch barrel 20 on the masterbatch barrel mounting portion is within the space of the slope angle opening, and the masterbatch barrel is aligned under the action of the slope angle opening. Before the masterbatch barrel needs to be rotated, the alignment motor is controlled to drive the alignment gripper away from the masterbatch barrel.

[0097] In one embodiment, Figure 4 and Fig.16 As shown, the color mixing device also includes a cleaning box device 14, which is located on the upper surface of the workbench 2 and in the space on the inner side of the guide rail 3 and the enclosure 9.

The cleaning box device 14 includes a box body 14-1 and a wool roller 14-2, the box body 14-1 is used to store the cleaning liquid, and the wool roller 14-2 is arranged in the box body 14-1, and is used to dip the cleaning liquid and clean the masterbatch paint outlet of the masterbatch barrel 20 by rolling.

[0098] In one embodiment, the cleaning box device 14 further includes a cleaning box motor 14-3 disposed outside the box body 14-1, and the cleaning box motor 14-3 drives the wool roller 14-2 to rotate on the box body 14-1.

[0099] In one embodiment, a splash-proof plate 14-4 is also provided on the outside of the cleaning box device 14 to prevent the cleaning liquid from splashing out of the box body 14-1. The splash-proof plate 14-4 can be designed to be foldable or fixed to adapt to different space and operation requirements.

The drain port can be equipped with a valve to control the discharge of the cleaning liquid. The drain port can also be connected to a drain pipe to guide the used cleaning liquid to a recovery container or a drainage system.

[0100] In the color mixing device of the present application, firstly, the color master barrel 20 is automatically moved by the color master barrel conveying device for color mixing, which reduces the dependence on manual operation, reduces the long-term labor cost, and improves the efficiency of the color mixing process. Secondly, the blanking hole 2-1 on the workbench 2 allows the masterbatch paint to flow accurately into the color mixing container, reduces waste and color difference, and improves the color mixing accuracy. Thirdly, the opening design on the enclosure 9 allows the operator to easily load and unload the masterbatch barrel on the masterbatch barrel mounting part 4. Fourthly, when the enclosure 9 is in operation, the masterbatch barrel plays a certain protective role to prevent it from being thrown out. Fifthly, the lifting platform 10 can be adjusted according to the height of the container so that the masterbatch paint can flow smoothly into the color mixing container. Sixthly, the cleaning box device 14 can automatically clean the masterbatch paint outlet of the masterbatch barrel 20 after the color mixing process is completed, reducing the need for manual cleaning and improving the cleaning efficiency. Seventhly, the color mixing device integrates multiple functions such as masterbatch barrel transmission, blanking, and cleaning, making the color mixing device more compact and saving space.

[0101] In one embodiment, a color mixing system is further provided, the system comprising the above-mentioned color mixing device and a masterbatch barrel of a masterbatch barrel mounting portion installed on the color mixing device.

[0102] The use process of this system is as follows: the staff first installs the required masterbatch barrels containing different color pastes on the masterbatch barrel installation part 4 in sequence according to the formula. At this time, the clutch body 8-7 is in a disconnected state, that is, the clutch body 8-7 is used to disconnect the transmission of the wheel group drive part 7 and the rotating shaft 5-3, and the staff can easily manually rotate the transmission part 6 to quickly install the masterbatch barrel on the masterbatch barrel installation part 4. After the installation is completed, the clutch body 8-7 is used to connect the transmission of the wheel group drive part 7 and the rotating shaft 5-3, and then the wheel group drive part 7 is used to drive the transmission part 6 to rotate in an orderly manner. The masterbatch barrels on these masterbatch barrel mounting parts 4 are brought to the liquid discharge position in turn, and the alignment motor 11-1 in the alignment component drives the alignment gripper 11-2 to align and position the masterbatch barrel, and then the required color paste in the masterbatch barrel is beaten out in an orderly and controllable manner by controlling the pumping mechanism on the color mixing device. The beaten color paste falls from the drop hole 2-1 into the container 12 under the horizontal workbench 2. When all the color pastes that need to be beaten out are beaten out in turn, the liquid in the container 12 is mixed evenly to obtain the required automotive paint.

[0103] This system has the advantages of simple structure, high efficiency, accurate mixing and low cost. In addition, during one mixing process, workers only need to transfer the masterbatch barrel once to automatically complete the mixing of automotive paint according to the program. Moreover, its size is between the above-mentioned large and small paint mixing equipment, and it has more flexible scenarios.
