Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of ink mixing technology, and more specifically, to an environmentally friendly ink mixing device for packaging boxes. Background Technology

[0002] Environmentally friendly inks generally refer to inks that do not contain harmful solvents (such as water-based inks). Ink mixing equipment typically mixes the base color into the ink mixing tank and stirs it thoroughly to achieve uniform mixing before printing on the packaging box.

[0003] However, in existing ink mixing equipment, the stirring rod inside the ink tank cannot be disassembled, making it difficult to clean the ink residue on the stirring rod. At the same time, ink also adheres to the inner wall of the ink tank cavity, making cleaning troublesome and difficult to thoroughly remove. The residual ink will affect the mixing quality of the subsequent base color inks.

[0004] Therefore, an environmentally friendly ink mixing device for packaging boxes is proposed to address the above problems. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this application is to provide an environmentally friendly ink mixing device for packaging boxes.

[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, the top cover is placed on the ink tank, the connecting rod is rotated into the inside of the second connecting block, and the rotating sleeve is twisted so that one end of the rotating sleeve presses against the second connecting block, thereby fixing the ink tank and the top cover together.

[0010] Preferably, the stirring mechanism includes a fixed frame, a first drive motor, a fixed rod, a connecting sleeve, a threaded groove, and a stirring rod. The top of the top cover is fixedly connected to the fixed frame, the top of the fixed frame is fixedly connected to the first drive motor, and one end of the first drive motor is fixedly connected to the fixed rod.

[0011] Preferably, one end of the fixing rod is threadedly connected to a connecting sleeve, the surface of the connecting sleeve is provided with a threaded groove, one end of the fixing rod is engaged with the threaded groove, and two sets of stirring rods are fixedly connected to the surface of the connecting sleeve.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, the connecting sleeve is rotated so that it is threadedly connected to the fixed rod through the threaded groove. The stirring rod can be fixed on the fixed rod through the connecting sleeve. The first drive motor is started to drive the stirring rod to rotate through the fixed rod and the connecting sleeve, so as to stir the ink in the ink tank and make the ink fully mixed. A viscosity sensor is installed on the stirring rod, and the viscosity sensor feeds back data to the PLC in real time so as to dynamically adjust the stirring speed.

[0013] Preferably, the cleaning mechanism includes a chute, a second drive motor, a threaded rod, a slider, a slide bar, a scraper, and a brush. The ink tank has two sets of chute inside. One set of chute has a second drive motor fixedly connected to one end of its inner wall, and the other set of chute has a slide bar fixedly connected to its inner wall. One end of the second drive motor is fixedly connected to a threaded rod, and one end of the threaded rod is rotatably connected to the ink tank.

[0014] Preferably, the inner walls of both sets of sliding grooves are slidably connected to sliders, one set of sliders is threadedly connected to a threaded rod, and the other set of sliders is slidably connected to a sliding rod. A scraper is fixedly connected between the two sets of sliders, and a brush is fixedly connected to the surface of the scraper.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, when the threaded rod rotates, it can drive the slider to move up and down, so that the slider can drive the scraper to move, and the scraper can clean the ink adhering to the inner wall of the ink tank.

[0016] Preferably, the spraying mechanism includes a connector, a connecting pipe, a fixing head, a clamp, and a spray head. The surface of the top cover is provided with two sets of connectors, and a connecting pipe is fixedly connected between the two sets of connectors.

[0018] Preferably, the bottom of the ink container is fixedly connected to multiple sets of support rods, one end of each set of support rods is fixedly connected to a support plate, and the surface of each set of support plates is provided with positioning holes.

[0019] Preferably, the bottom of the ink tank is provided with a discharge pipe, one end of the discharge pipe is provided with a plunger pump, the surface of the plunger pump is provided with a discharge valve, one end of the plunger pump is provided with a discharge port, and a flow meter is provided at the connection between the plunger pump and the discharge port.

[0020] The technical effects and advantages of this application are as follows:

[0021] Compared with existing technologies, this environmentally friendly packaging ink mixing equipment uses a stirring mechanism to unscrew the rotating sleeve, remove the top cover, and unscrew the connecting sleeve from the fixing rod so that the stirring rod can be disassembled for cleaning.

[0022] Compared with existing technologies, this environmentally friendly ink mixing equipment for packaging boxes, through a cleaning mechanism and a spraying mechanism, allows for the following steps: After the ink tank is used, a water pipe is inserted into the fixed head and secured with clamps. Water is then supplied to the connecting head through the connecting pipe and sprayed out through the nozzle to rinse the inner wall of the ink tank. Activating the second drive motor rotates the threaded rod, which in turn moves the slider up and down, causing the slider to move the scraper. The scraper scrapes off any ink adhering to the inner wall of the ink tank. Water sprayed through the brush and nozzle further flushes the inner wall of the ink tank, removing any remaining ink and preventing it from sticking to the inner wall of the chamber and affecting the subsequent mixing of the base color ink.

Then, cover the top cover 2 on the ink tank 1. Then, rotate the connecting rod 402 into the second connecting block 404. Twist the rotating sleeve 403 so that one end of the rotating sleeve 403 presses the second connecting block 404, thereby fixing the ink tank 1 and the top cover 2 together. Add ink into the ink tank 1 through the feed port 3. Start the first drive motor 502 to drive the stirring rod 506 to rotate through the fixed rod 503 and the connecting sleeve 504 so as to stir the ink in the ink tank 1 so that the ink can be fully mixed. A viscosity sensor is installed on the stirring rod 506. The viscosity sensor feeds back data to the PLC in real time so as to dynamically adjust the stirring speed. When the ink is fully mixed, open the discharge valve 15 and start the plunger pump 14 so that the ink passes through the discharge pipe 13. The ink is discharged through outlet 16 for subsequent printing on the packaging box. After the ink tank 1 is used up, the water pipe is inserted into the fixed head 803 and fixed by the clamp 804. Water is then sent from the connecting pipe 802 into the connecting head 801 through the water pipe and sprayed out through the nozzle 805 to rinse the inner wall of the ink tank 1.
