[0026] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention more clear, the technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of them. All other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field based on the embodiments of the present invention without making any creative efforts shall fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0027] For example, the bellows pump device with the publication number "CN111306045B" comprises at least a pair of bellows 12 and a pair of pneumatic regulators 11. The pneumatic regulators 11 are used to drive the bellows 12 to work, causing the volume inside the bellows 12 to change, thereby causing the bellows 12 to absorb ink under negative pressure or squeeze and transport the absorbed ink.

[0028] In the related art, the air pressure value of the pneumatic regulator 11 is pre-set according to the standard viscosity data of the ink. During the operation of the bellows pump 1, the air pressure value of the pneumatic regulator 11 will not change, but the viscosity of the ink is difficult to always maintain uniformity. When the viscosity of the ink changes, the flow rate of the bellows 12 absorbing or transporting the ink will fluctuate, thereby affecting the stability of subsequent processes.

[0029] It should be noted that similar reference numerals and letters represent similar items in the following drawings. Therefore, once an item is defined in one drawing, it does not need to be further defined or explained in subsequent drawings. In addition, in the drawings, the thickness of components may be exaggerated or reduced in order to effectively describe the technical content.

[0030] The following embodiments of the present invention are described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the absence of conflict, the following embodiments and features in the embodiments may be combined with each other.

[0031] like Figure 1As shown, at least one embodiment provides a method for controlling the flow of ink in a fluctuating viscosity state, characterized by: continuously conveying ink by using bellows pump 1; adjusting the air pressure value of pneumatic regulator 11 according to the viscosity data of the ink about to enter bellows 12, so that bellows 12 can absorb ink at a constant flow rate; adjusting the air pressure value of pneumatic regulator 11 according to the viscosity data of the ink about to flow out of bellows 12, so that bellows 12 can convey ink at a constant flow rate; wherein the flow rate of absorbing ink is the same as the flow rate of conveying ink.

[0032] In this embodiment, by collecting the viscosity data of the ink about to enter bellows 12 in real time, and adjusting the air pressure value of pneumatic regulator 11 according to the collected viscosity data, pneumatic regulator 11 can drive bellows 12 to absorb or convey ink at a constant flow rate, avoiding large changes in pressure during subsequent spraying processing due to unstable conveying flow.

[0033] As shown, in some embodiments, the method for continuously conveying ink by using bellows pump 1 includes: while one pneumatic regulator 11 in bellows pump 1 drives the corresponding bellows 12 to absorb ink, another pneumatic regulator 11 in bellows pump 1 drives the corresponding bellows 12 to convey ink. Figure 2 In this embodiment, by alternating the conveying of ink by the two bellows 12 in bellows pump 1, i.e., while one bellows 12 is absorbing ink, the other bellows 12 is extruding and conveying ink, bellows pump 1 can continuously convey.

[0034] The two bellows 12 have the same structure, and one of them will be described below as an example.

[0035] In some embodiments, the method for adjusting the air pressure value of pneumatic regulator 11 according to the viscosity data of the ink about to enter bellows 12, so that bellows 12 can absorb ink at a constant flow rate, includes: collecting the viscosity data η1 of the ink about to enter bellows 12 by using a first viscosity sensor; and adjusting the air pressure value P1 of pneumatic regulator 11 according to the collected viscosity data η1 by using a control module, so that bellows pump 1 can absorb ink at the required air pressure value P1.

[0036] In this embodiment, the first viscosity sensor is arranged in the inlet of bellows 12, and sends the viscosity data to the control module after collecting the viscosity data. The control module obtains the required air pressure value P1 of pneumatic regulator 11 according to the received viscosity data η1, so that pneumatic regulator 11 can drive bellows 12 to absorb ink at a constant flow rate.

[0037] In some embodiments, the formula for setting the required air pressure value P1 for absorbing ink is:

[0038] ​Wherein, P1 is the air pressure value required by the pneumatic regulator 11 to actually absorb the ink, in kPa; P a is the reference air pressure value when the pneumatic regulator 11 absorbs ink, in kPa; k is the adjustment coefficient; η1 is the viscosity data of the ink about to enter the bellows 12 obtained by the first viscosity sensor, in Pa·s; η0 is the standard viscosity data of the ink, in Pa·s.

[0039] In this embodiment, the standard viscosity data η0 of the ink is optionally 50 Pa·s; the reference pressure value P when the pneumatic regulator 11 absorbs the ink is a is -70 kPa; k is 0.3; the data η1 collected by the first viscosity sensor is 60 Pa·s.

[0042] In this embodiment, the second viscosity sensor is arranged in the discharge port of the bellows 12. When the second viscosity sensor collects the viscosity data, it sends it to the control module. The control module obtains the air pressure value P2 required by the pneumatic regulator 11 under the viscosity data according to the received viscosity data η2, so that the pneumatic regulator 11 can drive the bellows 12 to squeeze and transport the ink at a constant flow rate.

[0043] In some embodiments, the formula for setting the air pressure value P2 required for delivering ink is: Wherein, P2 is the air pressure value required by the pneumatic regulator 11 to actually deliver ink, in kPa; b is the reference air pressure value when the pneumatic regulator 11 delivers ink, in kPa; k is the adjustment coefficient; η2 is the viscosity data of the ink about to flow out of the bellows 12 obtained by the second viscosity sensor, in Pa·s; η0 is the standard viscosity data of the ink, in Pa·s.

[0044] In this embodiment, the standard viscosity data η0 of the ink is optionally 50 Pa·s; the reference pressure value P when the pneumatic regulator 11 absorbs the ink is a is 300 kPa; k is 0.3; the data η2 collected by the second viscosity sensor is 45 Pa·s.

[0045] That is, the air pressure value P2 required to transport ink is:

[0046] like Figure 2 As shown, at least one embodiment also provides a flow control device under the state of ink viscosity fluctuation, including: a bellows pump 1, used for continuously conveying ink, and including: a pump body 10, in which a pair of bellows 12 and a pair of pneumatic regulators 11 are arranged; a liquid inlet pipe 13, connected to the feed port 121 of the two bellows 12; a liquid outlet pipe 14, connected to the discharge port 122 of the two bellows 12; a pair of first viscosity sensors, used to respectively obtain the viscosity data of the ink in the corresponding feed port 121; a pair of second viscosity sensors, used to respectively obtain the viscosity data of the ink in the corresponding discharge port 122; a control module, configured to adjust the air pressure value of the corresponding pneumatic regulator 11 according to the ink viscosity data collected by the corresponding viscosity sensor.

[0047] At least one embodiment also provides a flow control system under a state of ink viscosity fluctuation, including: an acquisition module, configured to collect viscosity data of ink about to enter the bellows 12 and viscosity data of ink about to flow out of the bellows 12; an adjustment module, configured to adjust the air pressure value of the corresponding pneumatic regulator 11, so that the bellows 12 absorbs ink at a constant flow rate and transports ink at a constant flow rate.

[0048] At least one embodiment further provides a computer-readable storage medium having a computer program / instruction stored thereon, wherein the computer program / instruction, when executed by a processor, implements the steps of the flow control method under the ink viscosity fluctuation state as described above.

[0049] At least one embodiment further provides a computer program product, including a computer program / instruction, characterized in that when the computer program / instruction is executed by a processor, the steps of the flow control method under the ink viscosity fluctuation state are implemented as described above.

[0050] To sum up, the flow control method and flow control system under the state of ink viscosity fluctuation collects the ink viscosity data about to enter the bellows 12 in real time, and adjusts the air pressure value of the pneumatic regulator 11 according to the collected ink viscosity data, so that the pneumatic regulator 11 can drive the bellows 12 to absorb or transport ink at a constant flow rate, avoiding large changes in pressure in subsequent spraying processing due to unstable transport flow.
