Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of printing machines, in particular to an automatic ink adding device for printing machines. Background Art

[0002] A printing press is a machine used to print text and images. Modern printing presses are generally composed of mechanisms such as plate mounting, inking, embossing, and paper feeding (including folding). Its working principle is: first, the text and image to be printed are made into a printing plate, which is then mounted on a printing press. Then, ink is applied to the places on the printing plate where the text and image are, either manually or by a printing press. Then, the ink is directly or indirectly transferred to paper or other substrates (such as textiles, metal plates, plastics, leather, wood boards, glass, and ceramics), thereby replicating a printed product identical to the printing plate. The invention and development of the printing press has played an important role in the spread of human civilization and culture.

[0003] The ink in the ink basin of a printing press is consumed too quickly during large-scale printing, and ink needs to be added frequently. However, most existing printing presses are troublesome to add ink, and ink is usually added to the ink basin manually. This method is cumbersome and inefficient, greatly reducing the printing speed. In addition, human errors may occur sometimes, resulting in inaccurate amount of ink added, thus affecting the printing quality. Utility Model Content

[0021] See also Figures 1 to 3The utility model provides an automatic ink adding device for a printing press, comprising an ink storage barrel 1, an ink basin 2, an ink pump 3, a control system and a screening component 4, wherein a support platform 5 is arranged at the lower end of the ink storage barrel 1, an ink outlet tube 6 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of one side of the ink storage barrel 1, one end of the ink outlet tube 6 is connected to the screening component 4, an ink filling port 21 is arranged on the top surface of the ink basin 2, an ink supply tube 7 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the ink filling port 21, one end of the ink supply tube 7 is connected to the inside of the ink basin 2, an inlet end of the ink pump 3 is connected to the screening component 4, an end of the ink supply tube 7 away from the ink filling port 21 is connected to an outlet end of the ink pump 3, a liquid level sensor 8 is arranged on the inner wall of the ink basin 2, and both the liquid level sensor 8 and the ink pump 3 are connected to the control system signal. By setting up the screening component 4, the screening and filtering effect can be enhanced, which makes it easier to filter out the ink that is not completely dissolved. By setting up a liquid level sensor 8 inside the ink basin 2, when the ink level is lower than the liquid level sensor 8, a signal will be transmitted to the control system, and the ink pump 3 will be started by the control system to draw ink, thereby automatically adding ink to the ink basin 2.

[0022] Please pay attention to Figures 1 to 3 A motor 9 is fixedly provided at the top of the ink storage barrel 1, a stirring shaft 91 is rotatably provided inside the ink storage barrel 1, an output end of the motor 9 passes through the ink storage barrel 1 and is welded and fixed to the top of the stirring shaft 91, and a plurality of stirring rods 92 are welded and fixed to the outside of the stirring shaft 91. By starting the motor 9, the motor 9 drives the stirring shaft 91 and the stirring rod 92 to rotate, stirring and mixing the raw materials, thereby preventing the ink from being deposited due to long-term storage.

[0023] Please pay attention to Figures 1 to 3The screening component 4 includes a screening tube 41, and the two ends of the screening tube 41 are fixedly connected with a feed port 42 and a discharge port 43, one end of the feed port 42 is fixedly connected to one side of the end of the ink outlet tube 6, and one end of the discharge port 43 is fixedly connected to the inlet end of the ink pump 3. After the ink pump 3 is started, the ink in the ink storage barrel 1 enters the feed port 42 through the ink outlet tube 6, and enters the screening tube 41 through the feed port 42, and the incompletely dissolved ink is screened through the screening tube 41. The top surface of the screening tube 41 is evenly provided with a plurality of openings 44 along the direction from the feed port 42 to the discharge port 43, and filter plates 45 are respectively arranged in the openings 44, and a filter screen 46 is fixed at the lower end of the filter plate 45. The filter screen 46 facilitates filtering and screening of impurities in the ink that are not completely dissolved. The bottom end of the inner wall of the screening tube 41 is provided with a plurality of slots 47, each of which corresponds to the position of each of the openings 44. A magnet 48 is fixed to the bottom of the filter plate 45, and an iron block is fixed in the slot 47.

[0026] The motor 9 is started, and the motor 9 drives the stirring shaft 91 and the stirring rod 92 to rotate, so as to stir and mix the raw materials of the ink juice, and prevent the ink from being deposited due to long-term storage. When the ink level in the ink basin 2 is lower than the liquid level sensor 8, the liquid level sensor 8 will transmit a signal to the control system, and the control system will start the ink pump 3 to pump ink, and the ink in the ink storage barrel 1 enters the feed port 42 through the ink outlet pipe 6, and then enters the screening tube 41 through the feed port 42, and the ink that is not fully dissolved is filtered step by step through the filter 46 in the screening tube 41. After screening, the saturated ink will be collected into the ink filling port 21 through the ink pump 3 and the ink delivery pipe 7, so as to realize automatic addition of ink to the ink basin 2. When it is necessary to clean the impurities on the filter 46, the filter 46 is taken out from the opening 44 by pulling the filter plate 45 upward, and the cleaned filter plate 45 is inserted downward into the slot 47 through the opening 44, and the magnet 48 at the bottom of the filter plate 45 cooperates with the iron block in the slot 47, so as to fix the filter 46.
