For example, without departing from the scope of the present utility model, the "first" information can also be called the "second" information, and similarly, the "second" information can also be called the "first" information.

[0022] Referring to Figure 1 , an automatic material distribution device according to an embodiment of the present utility model includes: an ink mixing turnover cylinder 1, a weighing and metering device 2, and at least two ink supply assemblies 3; the ink supply assembly 3 includes a basic ink supply barrel 31, an ink supply pump 32, an ink supply pipe 33, and a material distribution filling head 34. The basic ink supply barrel 31 is communicated with the material distribution filling head 34 through the ink supply pipe 33, and the ink supply pump 32 is connected in series on the ink supply pipe 33; the ink mixing turnover cylinder 1 is arranged above the weighing and metering device 2, and the ink mixing turnover cylinder 1 is provided with an upward opening, and each of the material distribution filling heads 34 is arranged above the opening of the ink mixing turnover cylinder 1.

[0023] The weighing and metering device 2 is used to monitor in real time the basic ink transported by each material distribution filling head 34 into the ink mixing turnover cylinder 1. When the required weight is reached, the material distribution filling head 34 is immediately controlled to close, and the ink supply pump 32 is synchronously closed, which can ensure that the amount of ink distributed each time meets the preset standard, avoid errors caused by other reasons such as ink accumulation in the ink supply pipe 33, reduce waste and improve production efficiency; when the material distribution filling head 34 is opened again, the ink in the ink supply pipe 33 can supply ink immediately, further improving the working efficiency.

[0024] In some specific embodiments of the present application, a control device 4 is further included. The control device 4 is communicatively connected to the weighing and metering device 2, each of the ink supply pumps 32, and each of the dispensing and filling heads 34 respectively. The control device 4 is configured to receive the signal sent by the weighing and metering device 2 and send the signal to each of the ink supply pumps 32 and each of the dispensing and filling heads 34 according to a preset program.

[0025] The specific working principle of the present application: By inputting a spot color ink formula sheet through the control device 4, signals are sent to the ink pump and the dispensing and filling head 34 for dispensing according to the weight of the base ink required by the formula. The weighing and metering device 2 senses the weight of the ink dispensed into the ink mixing and turnover tank 1. When the weight reaches the weight required by the formula sheet, a signal is sent back to the control device 4, and the control device 4 synchronously sends a signal to the ink pump and the dispensing and filling head 34 to stop dispensing. Through the linkage of the control device 4 with the ink supply pump 32, the dispensing and filling head 34, and the weighing and metering device 2, the automation of the entire dispensing process is realized, reducing the need for manual operation, lowering the labor intensity, and further improving the production efficiency.

[0026] In some specific embodiments of the present application, the control device 4 includes an operation display screen 41 for inputting the ink formula, which can be used for the operator to monitor the ink weight data in real time and input relevant formula contents.

[0027] In some specific embodiments of the present application, a filling support 5 is further included. The filling support 5 is arranged above the ink mixing and turnover tank 1, and each of the dispensing and filling heads 34 is arranged on the filling support 5 at intervals in sequence. The filling support 5 provides a stable support structure for the dispensing and filling heads 34, ensuring that the positions of the individual dispensing and filling heads 34 are not easily offset during operation, thereby improving the accuracy and consistency of dispensing.

[0028] In some specific embodiments of the present application, the base ink supply barrel 31 is provided with an upward ink supply port 311. In any of the ink supply assemblies 3, one end of the ink supply pipe 33 is hermetically connected to the base ink supply barrel 31 through the ink supply port 311. Through the hermetic connection, it is ensured that the ink will not leak at the connection, reducing the air entering the base ink supply barrel 31, preventing the ink from oxidizing and maintaining the ink quality, so as to improve the stability and efficiency of ink supply.

[0029] In some specific embodiments of the present application, the ink supply pump 32 includes a base 321, a moving bracket 322, a pump plunger 323, and a linear reciprocating mechanism 324. The basic ink supply barrel 31 is provided on the base 321. The moving bracket 322 is provided above the basic ink supply barrel 31 and is connected to the base 321 through the linear reciprocating mechanism 324. The moving bracket 322 can move up and down relative to the basic ink supply barrel 31 under the action of the linear reciprocating mechanism 324. The pump plunger 323 is connected to the lower part of the moving bracket 322 so that the pump plunger 323 is placed in the opening of the basic ink supply barrel 31. The pump plunger 323 can move up and down in the basic ink supply barrel 31 through the opening of the basic ink supply barrel 31 and is hermetically connected to the basic ink supply barrel 31. Specifically, the linear reciprocating mechanism 324 can be a cylinder.

[0030] Combining the pump plunger 323 with the moving bracket 322 to achieve vertical movement through the linear reciprocating mechanism 324 simplifies the overall structure of the ink supply pump 32, reduces the number of components, and thus reduces the complexity of production and maintenance. This design can adapt to different types of ink supply requirements and can adjust the movement range and speed of the pump plunger 323 according to actual needs, thereby further controlling the ink supply speed and ink supply weight. The hermetic connection between the pump plunger 323 and the basic ink supply barrel 31 also reduces ink leakage and waste during the ink supply process and can prevent the ink from drying out or deteriorating.

[0031] In some specific embodiments of the present application, an ink supply hole is provided on the pump plunger 323. One end of the ink supply pipe 33 is communicated with the ink supply hole, reducing the ink flow path, ensuring smoother ink flow between the pump plunger 323 and the ink supply pipe 33, and improving the ink supply efficiency.

[0032] In some specific embodiments of the present application, it includes four groups of ink supply components 3, and the four basic ink supply barrels 31 are arranged at intervals in sequence, which can effectively reduce ink cross-contamination and meet the requirements of different spot color ink formulations.

[0033] In summary, the embodiment of the present utility model provides an automatic material distribution device, which has the following advantages:

[0034] 1. It can strictly comply with the formula standard, ensure the accuracy of the material weight, and at the same time improve the overall production efficiency;
