Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of ink processing, in particular to a multi-purpose ink transfer tank. Background Art

[0002] Ink is an important material for printing. It displays patterns and texts on substrates through printing or spraying. Ink contains a variety of ingredients. After these ingredients are mixed, dispersed and other processes in proportion, they will form a viscous fluid. Therefore, in the actual production process, it is necessary to use a transfer tank to hold the mixed components and move them between the equipment of each process under the operation of workers. The existing ink transfer tank usually includes a tank body 1a for holding raw materials, a handle 2a set on the tank body 1a, a roller 3a rotatably set at the bottom of the tank body 1a, and a connecting pipe 4a set at the bottom of the tank body 1a. A control valve 5a is also provided in the connecting pipe 4a. When performing a dispersing operation, the feed port of the grinding and dispersing machine is connected to the connecting pipe 4a through a pipeline. When the control valve 5a is opened, the raw materials in the tank body 1a enter the grinding and dispersing machine through the connecting pipe 4a and the control valve 5a for grinding, thereby obtaining an ink product with smaller particles and more uniform mixing. However, since the connecting pipe usually protrudes outward along the diameter of the tank body and the overall length of the connecting pipe is longer after the control valve is installed, it is easy to collide when the transfer tank is pushed between various equipment, and there is even a risk of tripping passing workers, posing a serious safety hazard. Utility Model Content

[0003] Based on this, the purpose of the utility model is to provide a multi-purpose ink transfer tank, which has the advantages of compact structure and high safety.

[0004] A multi-purpose ink transfer tank comprises a tank body for containing ink and a discharge pipe group arranged on the tank body, wherein the discharge pipe group comprises a fixed pipe, a right-angle rotating joint, a connecting pipe, a control valve and a plug-in pipe, wherein the fixed pipe is communicated with the inner cavity of the tank body and extends along the diameter direction of the tank body, the fixed pipe is connected to the connecting pipe through the right-angle rotating joint so that the connecting pipe can rotate between an open position and a retracted position relative to the fixed pipe, the connecting pipe is connected to the plug-in pipe through the control valve, and the plug-in pipe is used to be connected to an external joint.

[0005] The multi-purpose ink transfer tank described in the utility model, by reasonably arranging the structure of the discharge pipe group, can ensure that it can be stably connected to the grinding and dispersing machine, while greatly reducing the protruding distance of the discharge pipe group, thereby avoiding collision with external equipment and tripping of personnel.

[0006] Furthermore, a support seat and a limit seat are also provided on the outside of the tank body. When the connecting pipe is rotated to a horizontal position, it is in the open position, at which time the control valve abuts against the limit seat. When the connecting pipe is rotated clockwise or counterclockwise to a state exceeding the vertical state, it is in the retracted position, at which time the control valve abuts against the support seat. This structure can support and limit the discharge pipe group to avoid deformation.

[0007] Furthermore, the rotation angle of the connecting pipe between the open position and the retracted position is 95 to 110 degrees, which can ensure the stable contact between the control valve and the limit seat.

[0008] Furthermore, the limit seat is made of a conductive material, which is electrically connected to the conductive plug rod through a conductive wire, the length of the conductive wire is sufficient to make the conductive plug rod contact the ground, the control valve is provided with a first socket, the middle of the first socket is provided with a first plug hole, and the limit seat is provided with a second plug hole. When the control valve is in contact with the limit seat, the second plug hole is coaxial with the first plug hole, so that the conductive plug rod is tightly inserted into the first plug hole and the second plug hole. When in use, when it is necessary to rotate the discharge pipe group to the open position, first pull out the conductive plug rod and place it on the ground, so that the tank body is grounded to avoid static electricity.

[0009] Furthermore, the conductive plug includes an integrally formed head and a rod, and the conductive wire is wound around the connection between the head and the rod. The conductive plug has a simple structure and is easy to assemble and disassemble.

[0010] Furthermore, the rod portion is in a tapered structure with a narrowed tail end, thereby increasing the contact area between the conductive plug and the ground and improving the conductive stability.

[0011] Furthermore, an annular protective ring is arranged on the outer periphery of the top of the tank body, and the protective ring is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the tank body through a supporting column. The protective ring facilitates the adjustment of the position of the tank body.

[0012] Furthermore, the support column includes a pair of first support columns, which are arranged on a semicircle away from the discharge pipe group and symmetrically arranged relative to the diameter direction, and the portion of the protective ring located between the first support columns protrudes outward to form a handle. The handle can limit the direction in which the worker drags the ink transfer tank, so that when the worker pushes and pulls the ink transfer tank, the discharge pipe group is located at the rear end of the travel direction, thereby avoiding scratches between the worker and the discharge pipe group, and preventing the discharge pipe group from colliding with the external environment or even tripping other passers-by due to the extension of the side end along the travel direction.

[0013] Furthermore, the bottom surface of the inner cavity of the tank body is an inclined surface, and the inclined surface is inclined downward toward the direction of the discharge pipe group, and its inclination angle is less than 5 degrees. The inclined surface enables the disperser to extract the ink in the tank body as much as possible.

[0014] Furthermore, rollers are provided at the bottom of the tank body, which makes it convenient for workers to push the transfer tank.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0022] See also Figure 1-5 , Figure 1 It is a structural schematic diagram of an existing ink transfer tank; Figure 2 It is a schematic diagram of a multi-purpose ink transfer tank of the utility model in a folded position; Figure 3 It is a schematic diagram of a multi-purpose ink transfer tank of the utility model in an open position; Figure 4 It is a schematic diagram of the structure of the tank body and the protective ring; Figure 5 It is a schematic diagram of the local structure of the discharge pipe group.

[0023] The utility model discloses a multi-purpose ink transfer tank, comprising a tank body 1 for containing ink and a discharge pipe group arranged on the tank body 1. Since the ink transfer tank usually also has the functions of a stirring barrel, the tank body 1 is usually cylindrical. The bottom surface of the inner cavity of the tank body 1 is an inclined surface, and the inclined surface is inclined downward in the direction of the discharge pipe group, and its inclination angle is less than 5 degrees. A roller 2 is arranged at the bottom of the tank body 1, so as to facilitate the movement of the ink transfer tank.

[0024] The discharge pipe group includes a fixed pipe 3, a right-angle rotary joint 4, a connecting pipe 5, a control valve 6 and a plug-in pipe 7. The fixed pipe 3 is connected to the inner cavity of the tank body 1 and extends along the diameter direction of the tank body 1. The fixed pipe 3 is connected to the connecting pipe 5 through the right-angle rotary joint 4, so that the connecting pipe 5 can rotate between an open position and a retracted position relative to the fixed pipe 3. The connecting pipe 5 is connected to the plug-in pipe 7 through the control valve 6, and the plug-in pipe 7 is used to connect to an external joint. A switch handle is provided on the control valve 6, and a worker can adjust the opening and closing of the control valve 6 by turning the switch handle, thereby controlling the circulation and cutoff of the ink.

[0025] During the movement, the worker can pull the control valve 6 or the connecting pipe 5 to rotate it to the retracted position. At this time, the opening of the plug-in pipe 7 is tilted upward, which can greatly reduce the protruding distance of the discharge pipe group and avoid residual ink dripping and causing pollution. When the worker moves the ink transfer tank to the side of the grinding and dispersing machine, the worker can pull the control valve 6 or the connecting pipe 5 to rotate it to the open position. At this time, the plug-in pipe 7 extends horizontally and protrudes outward, which is convenient for connecting with the pipeline of the grinding and dispersing machine. Therefore, when the grinding and dispersing machine forms a negative pressure in the plug-in pipe 7, if the switch handle of the control valve 6 is opened, the ink contained in the tank body 1 will flow into the grinding and dispersing machine through the pipeline after passing through the fixed pipe 3, the right-angle rotary joint 4, the control valve 6 and the plug-in pipe 7 under the action of the negative pressure for grinding.

[0026] In order to support and limit the discharge pipe group, as a preferred embodiment, a support seat 8 and a limit seat 9 are further provided on the outside of the tank body 1. When the connecting pipe 5 is rotated to the horizontal state, it is in the open position, at which time the control valve 6 abuts against the limit seat 9. When the connecting pipe 5 is rotated clockwise or counterclockwise to a state exceeding the vertical state, it is in the retracted position, at which time the control valve 6 abuts against the support seat 8. The rotation angle of the connecting pipe 5 between the open position and the retracted position is 95 degrees to 110 degrees.

[0027] The stopper 9 is made of conductive material and is electrically connected to the conductive plug 11 through a conductive wire 10. The length of the conductive wire 10 is sufficient to make the conductive plug 11 contact the ground. The control valve 6 is provided with a first socket 61, and a first plug hole 62 is provided in the middle of the first socket 61. The stopper 9 is provided with a second plug hole 91. When the control valve 6 contacts the stopper 9, the second plug hole 91 is coaxial with the first plug hole 62, so that the conductive plug 11 is tightly inserted into the first plug hole 62 and the second plug hole 91. The conductive plug 11 includes an integrally formed head 111 and a rod 112, and the conductive wire 10 is wound around the connection between the head 111 and the rod 112.

[0028] During use, when the discharge pipe group needs to be rotated to the open position, the conductive plug 11 is first pulled out and placed on the ground, thereby forcing the worker to ground the tank body 1 before dispersing the work to avoid static electricity. When the ink transfer tank needs to be moved, when the discharge pipe group is rotated to the folded position, the conductive plug 11 is inserted into the first plug hole 62 and the second plug hole 91 to fix the control valve 6, thereby forcing the worker to separate the conductive plug 11 from the ground before moving the tank body 1, preventing the discharge pipe group from flipping during the movement of the ink transfer tank, and also preventing the conductive plug 11 from scratching the ground during the movement, preventing the generation of sparks that will detonate volatile gases, and improving safety. The rod portion 112 is a tapered structure with a narrowed tail end, thereby increasing the contact area between the conductive plug 11 and the ground and improving the conductive stability.

[0029] Preferably, an annular protective ring 12 is provided on the outer periphery of the top of the tank body 1, and the protective ring 12 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the tank body 1 through a supporting column. The supporting column includes a pair of first supporting columns 121, which are arranged on a semicircle away from the discharge pipe group and symmetrically arranged relative to the diameter direction. The portion of the protective ring 12 located between the first supporting columns 121 protrudes outward to form a handrail 122, so that when workers push and pull the ink transfer tank, the discharge pipe group is located at the rear end of the travel direction to avoid scratches between the workers and the discharge pipe group, and at the same time prevent the discharge pipe group from extending along the side end of the travel direction, colliding with the external environment or even tripping other passers-by.

[0030] The multi-purpose ink transfer tank described in the utility model, by reasonably setting the structure of the discharge pipe group, ensures that it can be stably connected to the grinding and dispersing machine, while greatly reducing the protruding distance of the discharge pipe group, avoiding collision with external equipment and tripping personnel. At the same time, by setting a conductive structure, it is ensured that the ink transfer tank is grounded during the dispersion operation to avoid static electricity accumulation, and when the ink transfer tank moves, it is prevented from scratching and electrifying the conductive structure with the ground, thereby improving production safety.
