Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to an ink three-roll grinding device, belonging to the technical field of ink grinding. Background Art

[0002] In the field of ink manufacturing and processing, the uniform grinding of ink is crucial for improving printing quality. Traditional ink grinding devices usually adopt fixed rollers or simple rotating grinding methods. When dealing with inks with high viscosity, high solid content or easy to agglomerate, these methods often face problems of uneven grinding and low efficiency. During the grinding process of ink, a static layer or local accumulation is likely to form between the rollers, resulting in uneven distribution of grinding force, and some ink particles cannot be fully refined, thus affecting the final performance of the ink. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of the present invention is to provide an ink three-roll grinding device to solve the problems raised in the above background art.

[0004] To achieve the above purpose, the present invention adopts the following technical scheme: An ink three-roll grinding device, comprising:

[0005] A machine body;

[0006] A slow roller, a medium roller and a fast roller, the slow roller, the medium roller and the fast roller are rotationally connected to the machine body, the slow roller, the medium roller and the fast roller are arranged horizontally, and the medium roller is located between the slow roller and the fast roller;

[0007] Wherein, the medium roller is spindle-shaped, the surfaces of the slow roller and the fast roller are concave in arc shape, there are arc-shaped grinding gaps for ink to pass through between the slow roller and the medium roller and between the fast roller and the medium roller respectively, and during the self-rotation process of the slow roller and the fast roller, the slow roller and the fast roller swing reciprocally around the medium roller.

[0008] Preferably, the grinding gap between the slow roller and the medium roller is larger than the grinding gap between the fast roller and the medium roller. When the slow roller and the fast roller swing reciprocally around the medium roller, the grinding gaps between the slow roller and the medium roller and between the fast roller and the medium roller remain unchanged.

[0009] Preferably, a driving component is arranged inside the machine body, and the driving component includes:

[0010] Two driving rods, which are symmetrically distributed inside the machine body;

[0011] Sliding seats, one sliding seat is sleeved at each end of the slow roller and each end of the fast roller, and each sliding seat is slidably connected inside a chute opened on the machine body;

[0012] Linking rods, the lower ends of the linking rods are fixed to one ends of the driving rods, and the upper ends of the linking rods are fixed to the sliding seats, for making the sliding seats and the driving rods move synchronously;

[0013] The motor is fixedly mounted on the machine body, and the output shaft of the motor is transmission-connected with the two driving rods through a gear set. When the output shaft of the motor rotates, the gear set drives the two driving rods to rotate synchronously in opposite directions.

[0014] Preferably, an ink three-roller grinding device further includes a shielding component including:

[0015] A baffle, the baffle being arranged above the grinding gap between the slow roller and the middle roller, one side of the lower end of the baffle being in contact with the surface of the slow roller, the other side of the lower end of the baffle being in contact with the surface of the middle roller, and the middle part of the baffle being bendable and deformable;

[0016] A fixed support rod, one end of which is fixed to the side wall of the baffle plate close to the middle roller, and the other end of which is fixed to the side wall of the machine body;

[0017] A movable support rod, one end of which is fixed on the side wall of the baffle plate close to the slow roller, and the other end of which is fixedly connected to the side wall of the sliding seat connected to the slow roller.

[0018] Preferably, the baffle is made of rubber material, and inner support plates are embedded on both sides of the interior of the baffle.

[0019] Preferably, a scraping assembly is provided on one side of the machine body close to the fast roller, and the scraping assembly comprises:

[0020] A scraper, one end of which is in contact with the surface of the fast roller, and the other end of which is inclined downward;

[0021] A support rod, one end of which is fixed on the side wall of the scraper, and the other end of which is fixed on the side wall of the sliding seat connected to the fast roller.

[0024] Compared with existing technologies:

[0025] In the present invention, when the slow roller, the middle roller and the fast roller rotate, the friction and extrusion at different speeds between the rollers are helpful to break the agglomerated state of the ink and further refine the ink particle size; and because the middle roller is spindle-shaped and the surfaces of the slow roller and the fast roller are arc-shaped and concave, the speed difference between the two rollers is more obvious at each position of the grinding gap. When the ink passes through the grinding gap, due to the different speeds of adjacent rollers, the ink will be subjected to a strong shearing effect, thereby enhancing the grinding effect;

[0026] During the process of the slow roller and the fast roller reciprocally swinging around the middle roller of the present invention, the contact position and angle with the ink can be continuously changed. This dynamic contact helps to more evenly distribute the grinding force and improve the grinding efficiency. Moreover, when the slow roller and the fast roller reciprocally swing around the middle roller, it helps to break the static state of the ink in the grinding gap, promote the flow and mixing of the ink in the grinding gap, and enable the ink to be more fully subjected to the grinding action.

[0044] The present invention will be described below with specific embodiments, but it is not a limitation of the invention.

[0045] Embodiment 1

[0046] As Figures 1-10 shown, in this embodiment, an ink three-roll grinding device is provided, including a machine body 1; a slow roll 2, a middle roll 3 and a fast roll 4 are rotatably connected to the machine body 1. The slow roll 2, the middle roll 3 and the fast roll 4 are arranged horizontally, and the middle roll 3 is located between the slow roll 2 and the fast roll 4. The middle roll 3 is rotatably connected to the machine body 1 through a bearing. As Figure 3 shown, the slow roll 2 and the fast roll 4 rotate in the same direction, and the rotation direction of the middle roll 3 is opposite to that of the slow roll 2 and the fast roll 4. Connecting gears 9 for driving connection with an external power source are fixed at one ends of the slow roll 2, the middle roll 3 and the fast roll 4. The external power source drives the slow roll 2, the middle roll 3 and the fast roll 4 to rotate through the connecting gears 9. The external power source can be installed on the machine body 1, and the external power source can adopt a motor; wherein, the middle roll 3 is spindle-shaped (or date pit-shaped, that is, the diameter in the middle is large and the diameters at both ends are small), and the surfaces of the slow roll 2 and the fast roll 4 are arcuately concave (that is, the diameter in the middle is small and the diameters at both ends are large). Grinding gaps for the ink to pass through and having an arc shape are provided between the slow roll 2 and the middle roll 3 and between the fast roll 4 and the middle roll 3; when the slow roll 2, the middle roll 3 and the fast roll 4 rotate, the different-speed friction and extrusion effects between the rolls help to break the agglomeration state of the ink and further refine the ink particle size; and because the middle roll 3 is spindle-shaped and the surfaces of the slow roll 2 and the fast roll 4 are arcuately concave, the speed difference between the two rolls is more obvious at each position of the grinding gap. When the ink passes through the grinding gap, due to the different speeds of the adjacent rolls, the ink will be subjected to a strong shearing action, enhancing the grinding effect; during the self-rotation of the slow roll 2 and the fast roll 4, the slow roll 2 and the fast roll 4 swing reciprocally around the middle roll 3.

[0047] As Figure 4As shown, the centers of the circles where the arc-shaped edges on both sides of the middle roller 3 (i.e., the arc-shaped edges on the side of the slow roller 2 and the fast roller 4 close to the middle roller 3) are located at points a and b respectively. At this time, the slow roller 2 swings around point a, and the fast roller 4 swings around point b. During the reciprocating swing of the slow roller 2 and the fast roller 4 around the middle roller 3, the ink is not only subjected to the grinding force in the rotation direction of the roller, but also subjected to the extrusion and grinding force along the arc swing direction of the grinding gap, which can continuously change the contact position and angle with the ink. This dynamic contact helps to distribute the grinding force more evenly and improve the grinding efficiency. Moreover, when the slow roller 2 and the fast roller 4 reciprocate around the middle roller 3, it helps to break the static state of the ink in the grinding gap, promote the flow and mixing of the ink in the grinding gap, and make the ink more fully subjected to the grinding action.

[0048] The grinding gap between the slow roller 2 and the middle roller 3 is larger than the grinding gap between the fast roller 4 and the middle roller 3. As Figure 3 shown, the grinding gap between the slow roller 2 and the middle roller 3 is c1, and the grinding gap between the fast roller 4 and the middle roller 3 is c2. The grinding gap c1 is larger than the grinding gap c2. The ink is ground once at the grinding gap c1 and ground twice at the grinding gap c2. When the slow roller 2 and the fast roller 4 reciprocate around the middle roller 3, the grinding gap between the slow roller 2 and the middle roller 3 and the grinding gap between the fast roller 4 and the middle roller 3 remain unchanged.

[0049] A scraping component 8 is arranged on one side of the machine body 1 close to the fast roller 4. The scraping component 8 includes:

[0050] A scraper 801, one end of the scraper 801 is attached to the surface of the fast roller 4, and the other end of the scraper 801 inclines downward;

[0051] A support rod 802, one end of the support rod 802 is fixed on the side wall of the scraper 801, and the other end of the support rod 802 is fixed on the side wall of the sliding seat 502 connected to the fast roller 4.

[0052] The support rod 802 connects the scraper 801 and the sliding seat 502 (connected to the fast roller 4). When the fast roller 4 moves on the machine body 1, the fast roller 4 drives the sliding seat 502, the support rod 802 and the scraper 801 to move synchronously, so that one end of the scraper 801 always adheres to the side wall of the fast roller 4.

[0053] When grinding the ink, the slow roller 2, the middle roller 3 and the fast roller 4 are arranged as shown in Figure 3The roller 2 rotates in the direction of the arrow shown, and the ink to be ground is poured between the slow roller 2 and the middle roller 3. The ink accumulates above the grinding gap c1 between the slow roller 2 and the middle roller 3. As the slow roller 2 and the middle roller 3 rotate, the slow roller 2 and the middle roller 3 squeeze the ink toward the grinding gap c1 little by little, and grind once. The ink passing through the grinding gap c1 adheres to the slow roller 2 and the middle roller 3, and the ink adhered to the slow roller 2 returns to the top of the grinding gap c1 as the slow roller 2 rotates. The ink adhered to the middle roller 3 is brought to the bottom of the grinding gap c2 by the middle roller 3. The middle roller 3 and the fast roller 4 squeeze the ink in the grinding gap c2 for secondary grinding. The ink passing through the grinding gap c2 adheres to the middle roller 3 and the fast roller 4, and the ink adhered to the middle roller 3 returns to the top of the grinding gap c1 as the middle roller 3 rotates. The ink adhered to the fast roller 4 is scraped off by the scraper 801 and collected.

[0054] Embodiment 2

[0055] like Figures 3-8 As shown, on the basis of the first embodiment, in order to drive the slow roller 2 and the fast roller 4 to swing back and forth around the middle roller 3, a driving assembly 5 is arranged inside the machine body 1 in this embodiment, and the driving assembly 5 includes a driving rod 501, a sliding seat 502 and a connecting rod 503. Two driving rods 501 are arranged, and the two driving rods 501 are symmetrically distributed inside the machine body 1; a sliding seat 502 is sleeved at both ends of the slow roller 2 and both ends of the fast roller 4, and the slow roller 2 and the sliding seat 502, and the fast roller 4 and the sliding seat 502 are rotatably connected through bearings, and each sliding seat 502 is slidably connected to the inside of a slide groove 505 provided on the machine body 1; the lower end of the connecting rod 503 is fixed to one end of the driving rod 501, and the upper end of the connecting rod 503 is fixed to the sliding seat 502, so as to make the sliding seat 502 move synchronously with the driving rod 501, and the two sliding seats 502 connected to the same driving rod 501 through the connecting rod 503 are connected to both ends of the slow roller 2 (or both ends of the fast roller 4);

[0056] like Figure 8 As shown, the body 1 is provided with a slide groove 505 for the sliding seat 502 to slide, and the slide groove 505 has a certain curvature, and the center of the circle where the arc-shaped slide groove 505 is located is Figure 4 The arc-shaped slide groove 505 has a guiding effect on the sliding seat 502, the driving rod 501 and the connecting rod 503, so that the slow roller 2 can swing around point a and the fast roller 4 can swing around point b.

[0057] A motor 504 is fixedly mounted on the machine body 1 , and the output shaft of the motor 504 is transmission-connected to the two driving rods 501 through a gear set. When the output shaft of the motor 504 rotates, the gear set drives the two driving rods 501 to rotate synchronously in opposite directions.

[0058] The gear set includes a driving gear and two driven gears. The driving gear is fixed on the output shaft of the motor 504. The two driven gears are rotatably connected to the machine body 1 and are respectively meshed on both sides of the driving gear. The two driven gears are respectively meshed with the side walls of the driving rods 501 on the same side. When the motor 504 drives the driving gear to rotate, the two driven gears rotate in opposite directions, and then the two driving rods 501 rotate synchronously and in opposite directions.

[0059] Embodiment III

[0060] As Figure 1 、 Figure 9 shown, on the basis of Embodiment I, in order to be able to block both ends of the grinding gap between the slow roller 2 and the middle roller 3 and prevent the ink from overflowing from both sides of the grinding gap, the three-roll ink grinding device further includes a shielding assembly 6. There are two shielding assemblies 6, and the two shielding assemblies 6 are respectively arranged at both ends of the grinding gap between the slow roller 2 and the middle roller 3. Each shielding assembly 6 includes a baffle 601, a fixed support rod 602 and a movable support rod 603. The baffle 601 is arranged above the grinding gap between the slow roller 2 and the middle roller 3. One side of the lower end of the baffle 601 is attached to the surface of the slow roller 2, and the other side of the lower end of the baffle 601 is attached to the surface of the middle roller 3. The middle part of the baffle 601 can be bent and deformed; one end of the fixed support rod 602 is fixed on the side wall of the baffle 601 close to the middle roller 3, and the other end of the fixed support rod 602 is fixed on the side wall of the machine body 1; one end of the movable support rod 603 is fixed on the side wall of the baffle 601 close to the slow roller 2, and the other end of the movable support rod 603 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the sliding seat 502 connected to the slow roller 2.

[0061] During the ink grinding process, one side of the baffle 601 above the middle roller 3 is supported by the fixed support rod 602, so that the part of the baffle 601 above the middle roller 3 is relatively fixed with respect to the middle roller 3, and the lower part of this part of the baffle 601 is always attached to the surface of the middle roller 3. One side of the baffle 601 above the slow roller 2 is supported by the movable support rod 603. The movable support rod 603 is fixed on the sliding seat 502, so that the movable support rod 603 moves synchronously with the sliding seat 502 and the slow roller 2. Then, the movable support rod 603 makes the part of the baffle 601 above the slow roller 2 move synchronously with the slow roller 2, so that the lower part of this part of the baffle 601 is always attached to the surface of the slow roller 2. The middle part of the baffle 601 can be bent and deformed, which can meet the requirement that when the slow roller 2 moves relative to the middle roller 3, the lower end of the baffle 601 can always be attached to the surface of the middle roller 3 and the surface of the slow roller 2 at the same time, effectively preventing the ink from overflowing from both sides of the grinding gap.

[0062] The baffle 601 is made of rubber material, and inner support plates 7 are embedded on both sides of the baffle 601. The rubber baffle 601 can be bent and deformed, and the two inner support plates 7 are provided, and the two inner support plates 7 are not connected in the middle of the baffle 601 (asFigure 10 As shown in the figure, it is beneficial for the baffle 601 to bend and deform at this position.
