Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of toner machines, in particular to an automatic toner machine. Background Art
[0002] A toner mill generally refers to a device that can grind solid granular materials into fine powder. This type of equipment uses specific mechanical actions, such as high-speed rotating blades or hammer impact, grinding, shearing, and friction, to break the material into a fine powder to meet the fineness requirements of various industries.
[0003] Patent publication number CN219705743U discloses that the utility model can quickly mix and match the injected raw materials and color powder through the coordinated use of the above-mentioned structure. The mixed color matching uses a motor to perform automatic rotary color matching work, without the need for human participation, which greatly reduces the labor intensity of workers and reduces the cost investment of workers. In addition, automatic color matching is more efficient than manual color matching, the color powder fusion is more uniform, and the color mixing degree is better. Since the color matching work is performed in a closed environment in the color matching disk, there will be no dust flying, which effectively ensures the air quality inside the workshop, reduces dust pollution in the workshop, prevents workshop workers from inhaling, and ensures the personal safety of workers.
[0004] This shows that traditional manual color matching or simple mechanical color matching often makes it difficult to accurately control the amount of color powder added, resulting in unstable product color and poor consistency. Summary of the Invention
[0005] In order to solve the problems raised in the above background technology, the utility model provides an automatic toner machine.
[0006] To achieve the above-mentioned object, the present invention provides the following technical solution: an automatic toner machine comprising: a raw material quantitative buffer cylinder, a mixing completion buffer cylinder connected to the bottom end of the raw material quantitative buffer cylinder, and a toner feeding device arranged on the side of the mixing completion buffer cylinder;
[0007] The raw material quantitative buffer cylinder is provided with a feed port at the top and an opening at the bottom;
[0008] The bottom of the mixing buffer cylinder is provided with a discharge port and a mixing cylinder is provided inside;
[0009] The top of the mixing drum is connected to the opening, and the bottom of the mixing drum is provided with a mixing completion port; a valve is provided below the mixing completion port; the valve is rotatably connected to the side wall of the mixing completion buffer drum; a mixing motor is provided at the back of the mixing completion buffer drum; the output end of the mixing motor is inserted into the interior of the mixing completion buffer drum; the output end of the mixing motor is fixedly connected to a mixing blade provided on the mixing completion buffer drum;
[0010] A color matching disk is provided above the toner feeding device; a toner feeding gear is provided on the top of the color matching disk; the toner feeding gear is used for toner quantification; a connecting cavity is provided on the top of the color matching disk, one end of the connecting cavity is connected to the toner feeding gear, and the other end is connected to the inside of the mixing completion buffer cylinder.
[0011] The raw materials are supplied from the upper part connected by the first flange and stored quantitatively in the raw material quantitative buffer cylinder. When the mixing cylinder is empty, the raw material quantitative buffer cylinder feeds the raw materials inward, and the toner feeding device supplies toner inward at the same time.
[0012] The toner enters the mixing buffer through the top feed port. Simultaneously, the color matching motor activates, driving the stirring rod to rotate within the toner supply gear. The stirring rod maintains close contact with the outer surface of the toner supply gear, ensuring that the toner is evenly distributed within the toner supply gear, eliminating any buildup and allowing the toner to evenly fill the toner supply gear's grooves. Once the color matching is complete, the toner is injected into the mixing buffer through the connecting cavity at the top of the color matching disk, where it is mixed with the raw materials.
[0013] On the color matching disk above the toner feeder, a toner feed gear measures toner. Each slot in the toner feed gear can deliver 0.05 grams of toner. To prevent toner from being difficult to clean, the thin sheet metal is mirror-polished, and the thick aluminum sheet is coated with Teflon non-stick.
[0014] After the raw materials and toner enter the mixing buffer, the mixing motor starts, and the stirring blades connected to its output end rotate at high speed inside the mixing drum, generating a strong stirring force to thoroughly mix the raw materials and toner in the mixing drum. When mixing is complete, the valve opens, and the mixed materials are stored in the mixing buffer, and the injection molding machine automatically removes them.
[0015] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a first flange is provided on the outside of the feed port and is fixedly connected to the raw material quantitative buffer cylinder.
[0016] The external raw material injection equipment can be connected via the provided first flange, thereby uniformly injecting the raw materials.
[0017] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, guide plates are obliquely provided on both left and right sides of the interior of the raw material quantitative buffer cylinder.
[0018] The guide plate guides the raw materials to flow smoothly into the mixing completion buffer cylinder, reducing the retention and accumulation of raw materials in the raw material quantitative buffer cylinder.
[0019] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the outer surface of the guide plate is smooth.
[0020] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, there are two stirring blades, and stirring serrations are provided on the upper and lower ends of the stirring blades, and the serrations are linearly arranged on the stirring blades.
[0021] The linearly arranged mixing teeth can cut, tear and mix the raw materials and toner more effectively, reducing the time required for mixing.
[0022] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the toner feeding device is made of glass, and a speed regulator installation port is provided on the side.
[0023] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a square funnel is provided at the bottom of the mixing completion buffer cylinder. The top end of the square funnel is matched with the mixing completion port, and the bottom end is connected with the discharge port.
[0024] The square funnel allows the mixture to drain smoothly, reducing residue and waste.
[0025] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a base flange is provided outside the discharge port and is fixedly connected to the mixing completion buffer cylinder.
[0026] The base flange facilitates docking with external discharging equipment, improving the flexibility and compatibility of the equipment.
[0027] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the guide plate is made of metal.
[0028] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the stirring blade is made of metal.
[0029] The present invention solves the defects in the background technology and has the following beneficial effects:
[0030] This automatic toner dispenser features a 5mm-deep toner feed gear and a connecting cavity at the top of the color matching disk. One end of the connecting cavity connects to the toner feed gear and the other end connects to the interior of the mixing buffer. This ensures precise metering of toner, ensuring a consistent and accurate amount of toner is added each time. Compared to existing technologies, this improves product color stability and consistency.
[0031] This automatic toner dispenser uses a color matching motor to drive a stirring rod to rotate within a toner feeding gear, which is in close contact with the outer surface of the toner feeding gear. This ensures uniform distribution of toner within the toner feeding gear, eliminating clumping and improving color accuracy compared to existing technologies. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
