Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of feed production, in particular to a water-based ink storage device which is convenient for discharging materials. Background Art

[0002] Water-based ink is referred to as water-based ink for short. It is a uniform paste-like substance composed of binders, pigments, additives and other substances. It is mainly made of water-soluble resins, organic pigments, solvents and related additives through composite grinding.

[0003] At present, after the production of water-based ink is completed, it needs to be stored in a storage tank. When the temperature of the stored water-based ink drops below 15 degrees Celsius, the viscosity of the water-based ink will increase and make it insufficiently wetted. When the temperature rises to above 28 degrees Celsius, the viscosity will decrease significantly. Due to seasonal temperature changes, when the temperature is low in winter, the viscosity of the water-based ink increases and gels, which is very easy to adhere to the tank wall, which is not conducive to discharge. In addition, water-based ink mixed with gel particles does not meet the quality requirements. The existing storage tank uses a stirring mechanism to stir and disperse the gel particles and speed up the discharge, but the effect is not ideal. Utility Model Content

[0004] The utility model aims at the deficiencies of the prior art and provides a storage device which can prevent the viscosity of water-based ink from increasing and causing gelled particles, thereby facilitating the discharge of the water-based ink and maintaining the quality of the water-based ink.

[0005] The utility model is realized through the following technical scheme: a water-based ink storage device that is convenient for discharging, comprising a tank body, a stirring mechanism is arranged in the tank body, a driving motor for driving the stirring mechanism to stir is arranged on the top of the tank body, a heating coil is fixedly arranged on the outer wall of the tank body, and also comprises a temporary storage barrel, the discharge port of the tank body is connected with the feed port of the temporary storage barrel through a connecting pipe, a flow meter is installed on the connecting pipe, and the discharge port of the tank body and the discharge port of the temporary storage barrel are both installed with electric control valves.

[0006] This solution heats the inside of the tank through a heating coil to prevent the viscosity of the water-based ink from rising and gelling due to low temperature, making it easier to discharge the water-based ink. The stirring mechanism further improves the efficiency of water-based ink discharge, and the water-based ink stored for a long time can be mixed evenly through stirring. The flow rate of the water-based ink is sensed by a flow meter to determine whether the viscosity of the discharged water-based ink meets the requirements. The water-based ink is temporarily stored in a temporary storage barrel. If the water-based ink does not meet the requirements, it can be collected and processed. If the water-based ink meets the requirements, it can be directly filled and packaged. The operation is convenient, and it is avoided that the water-based ink that does not meet the requirements is directly filled, which is convenient for personnel to control the filling quality.

[0007] As an optimization, the outer side of the tank is wrapped with an insulation layer, and the heating coil is located in the insulation layer. The insulation layer of this optimization solution reduces heat loss and improves thermal insulation.

[0008] As an optimization, the stirring mechanism includes a rotating shaft, a spiral blade is arranged on the outer wall of the rotating shaft, and the output end of the driving motor is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft. The spiral blade of this optimization solution facilitates the discharge of water-based ink.

[0009] As an optimization, a liquid level gauge is provided in the tank body. This optimization scheme monitors the remaining amount of water-based ink through the liquid level gauge, so that personnel can replenish it in time.

[0010] As an optimization, a temperature sensor is provided in the tank. This optimization scheme uses the temperature sensor to sense the temperature in the tank in real time, which is convenient for personnel to adjust the temperature and prevent the temperature from being too high or too low.

[0011] As an optimization, a controller is also included, and the heating coil, temperature sensor, electric control valve and flow meter are all connected to the controller by electrical signals. This optimization scheme receives the temperature sensor signal through the controller, so as to facilitate the control of the heating temperature of the heating coil. The controller receives the flow meter signal, so as to facilitate the control of the opening and closing of the electric control valve to discharge the material, which is more automated and intelligent.

[0012] As an optimization, the controller is electrically connected to a display. This optimization solution allows intuitive observation of the signals transmitted by the liquid level meter, temperature sensor, and flow meter through the display, which is convenient for operators to monitor and adjust in a timely manner.

[0013] The beneficial effects of the utility model are as follows: the solution heats the inside of the tank body through the heating coil to avoid the viscosity of the water-based ink rising due to too low temperature and the gelation phenomenon, which is convenient for the discharge of the water-based ink. The stirring mechanism further improves the discharge efficiency of the water-based ink, and the water-based ink stored for a long time can be mixed evenly through stirring. The flow rate of the water-based ink is sensed by the flow meter to judge whether the viscosity of the discharged water-based ink meets the requirements. The water-based ink is temporarily stored in the temporary storage barrel. The water-based ink that does not meet the requirements can be collected and processed. The water-based ink that meets the requirements can be directly filled and packaged. The operation is convenient, and the direct filling of water-based ink that does not meet the requirements can be avoided.

[0014] The controller can automatically control the heating temperature of the heating coil and the opening and closing of the electric control valve, making it more convenient and intelligent to use and improving work efficiency. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0018] In order to clearly illustrate the technical features of this solution, this solution is described below through a specific implementation method.

[0019] like Figure 1 As shown, a water-based ink storage device for easy discharge includes a tank body 1, a temporary storage bucket 6 and a controller. The bottom of the tank body 1 is fixedly connected to a support leg, and a mounting plate is fixedly connected to the support leg. The temporary storage bucket 6 is fixedly mounted on the mounting plate. The top and bottom of the tank body 1 are respectively provided with a feed inlet and a discharge port, and the temporary storage bucket 6 is also provided with a feed inlet and a discharge port. It also includes an electric control box, and the controller is arranged in the electric control box.

[0020] The tank body 1 is provided with a stirring mechanism, and a driving motor 5 for driving the stirring mechanism is provided on the top of the tank body 1. Specifically, the stirring mechanism includes a vertically arranged rotating shaft 3, and a spiral blade 4 is fixed on the outer wall of the rotating shaft 3. The output end of the driving motor 5 extends into the tank body 1 and is fixedly connected to the upper end of the rotating shaft 3.

[0021] A heating coil 2 is fixedly arranged on the outer wall of the tank body 1. The outer side of the tank body 1 is wrapped with a heat-insulating layer 8, and the heating coil 2 is located in the heat-insulating layer 8. The heating coil 2 in this embodiment is electrically heated.

[0022] The discharge port of the tank body 1 is connected to the feed port of the temporary storage barrel 6 through a connecting pipe 7, a flow meter 12 is installed on the connecting pipe 7, and both the discharge port of the tank body 1 and the discharge port of the temporary storage barrel 6 are installed with an electric control valve 11.

[0023] The tank body 1 is provided with a liquid level meter 10 and a temperature sensor 9, and the heating coil 2, the temperature sensor 9, the electric control valve 11 and the flow meter 12 are all connected to the controller by electrical signals. The controller receives the signal from the temperature sensor 9 to control the heating temperature of the heating coil 2, and the controller receives the signal from the flow meter 12 to control the opening and closing of the electric control valve 11, which is more automated and intelligent. The control system of the controller described in this embodiment can be realized by simple programming by technicians in the relevant field, and no further elaboration is given here.

[0024] Working principle: When discharging is required, the temperature in the tank 1 is sensed by the temperature sensor 9, and the signal is fed back to the controller. If the temperature is too low, the controller controls the heating coil 2 to heat, and if the temperature is too high, the controller controls the heating coil 2 to stop heating. When the temperature is appropriate, the controller first controls the electric control valve 11 at the discharging port of the tank 1 to open, and starts the drive motor 5 to drive the stirring mechanism to stir, and the water-based ink flows through the flow meter 12 into the temporary storage barrel 6 for temporary storage. The flow meter 12 senses the flow rate of the water-based ink and feeds back the signal to the controller. The controller determines whether the viscosity of the water-based ink meets the requirements based on the flow rate. If it does not meet the requirements, the personnel will collect and process the water-based ink in the temporary storage barrel 6. If it meets the requirements, it can be directly filled and packaged.

[0025] Of course, the above description is not limited to the above examples. The technical features not described in the present invention can be achieved by or by adopting the existing technology, which will not be repeated here.
