[0037] Understandably, the method of using the ink supply system with adjustable scraping angle according to the present invention is as follows: During printing: the four-way valve 42 is open, and the first control valve 612, the second control valve 623, and the third control valve 801 are closed; the ink supply module 40 operates, and the ink pump 41 inputs water and ink from the water and ink tank 50 into the ink chamber 221, and the water and ink adhere to the anilox roller 10 from the ink chamber 221; the blade edge of the blade section 231 scrapes off excess water and ink from the anilox roller 10 as the anilox roller 10 rotates, and the scraped water and ink fall into the ink receiving slope 311, and flow along the ink receiving slope 311 to the ink receiving groove 312, and from the ink receiving groove 312 to two ink collection hoppers 313, the ink collection hoppers 313 guide the water and ink to the return ink combination pipe 32, and flow back to the water and ink channel along the return ink combination pipe 32; among them, the excess water and ink in the ink chamber 221 overflows from both sides of the ink chamber 221 into the return guide groove 223, and is output from the return guide groove 223 to the ink collection hopper 313.

[0038] After printing, during ink recycling: the four-way valve 42 reverses, the third control valve 801 remains closed, and the first control valve 612 and the second control valve 623 open intermittently; while the ink pump 41 pumps ink from the ink chamber 221 back to the ink tank 50, the spray pipe 611 sprays anilox roller 10, returning the residual ink in the anilox roller 10 and the ink chamber 221 to the ink tank 50 with the atomized water flow; the spray nozzle 621 sprays ink into the ink collection hopper 313, returning the residual ink in the ink collection hopper 313 to the ink tank 50 with the atomized water flow; After the ink return is completed, during cleaning: remove the ink tank 50 from the ink supply position so that the ink tank 50 is disconnected from the first branch pipe 43 and the ink return tail pipe 324; close the four-way valve 42, and open the first control valve 612, the second control valve 623 and the third control valve 801 to clean the anilox roller 10, the ink chamber 221 and the ink receiving tray 31 with water flow. After cleaning, return to printing mode.

[0039] In summary, the ink supply system with adjustable scraping angle of the present invention, through the cooperation between the anilox roller 10 and the doctor blade assembly seat 20, uses the expansion and contraction of the air bag 203 under the air supply of an external air source to drive the doctor blade seat 22 to swing relative to the rear base 21, thereby adjusting the scraping angle of the doctor blade holder 23 relative to the anilox roller 10 and improving the ink recovery effect.
