Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of flexographic printing machines, in particular to a material discharging device for a flexographic printing machine. Background Art
[0002] Flexographic printing presses use highly fluid inks. The ink is transferred to the image and text of the printing plate by the ink fountain rubber roller and anilox roller, causing it to settle. Then, the impression roller applies printing pressure, transferring the ink from the plate to the substrate. Finally, the printing process is completed by drying the surface. The printing section is the core of the flexographic printing press. The arrangement of the printing section directly affects the operating performance, print quality, printing speed, and the scope of application. Flexographic printing presses can be divided into three types based on the arrangement of the printing sections: stacked, satellite, and unitized.
[0003] Traditional flexographic printing machines are connected to the feed barrel to discharge the ink. Due to the strong viscosity of the ink, the ink supply is slow and ink shortage is prone to occur. In addition, the single discharge port limits the ink supply, resulting in low ink supply efficiency and making some parts of the print too dark or too light. Utility Model Content

[0020] To make the technical problems solved by the present invention, the technical solutions adopted, and the technical effects achieved more clearly, the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the embodiments described are only some of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of them. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative work shall fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0021] Example:
[0022] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, a discharging device for a flexographic printing machine includes: a mounting frame 1, a supply cylinder 2 is fixedly mounted on the inner side of the mounting frame 1, a pressurizing mechanism 3 is fixedly mounted on the top end of the supply cylinder 2, a material guide pipe 4 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the supply cylinder 2, a discharging cylinder 5 is fixedly mounted on the top end of the material guide pipe 4, a cylinder cover 6 is fixedly mounted on the top of the discharging cylinder 5, an agitator 7 is fixedly mounted inside the cylinder cover 6, a feed pipe 8 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the feed pipe 8, an ink tank 9 is fixedly mounted on the bottom end of the feed pipe 8, and a diversion ring pipe 10 is fixedly mounted on one end of the feed pipe 8 located inside the ink tank 9.
[0023] In this embodiment, the pressurizing mechanism 3 includes a bidirectional threaded rod 301 rotatably connected to the top of the inner part of the supply cylinder 2, a motor 302 is fixedly installed on the top of the outer side of the supply cylinder 2, and the driving end of the motor 302 is fixedly connected to the bidirectional threaded rod 301, and the left and right ends of the bidirectional threaded rod 301 are threadedly connected with a connecting sleeve 303, and the interior of the supply cylinder 2 and the bottom of the bidirectional threaded rod 301 are slidably connected with an extrusion plate 304, and a transmission rod 305 is installed between the two sets of connecting sleeves 303 and the extrusion plate 304. At this time, the ink inside the discharge barrel 5 is introduced into the interior of the supply barrel 2 through the guide tube 4, and then the ink is introduced into the ink box 9 through the delivery pipe 8. The interior of the ink box 9 is connected to an ink-dipping roller that is used to stick the ink. During this process, the motor 302 is started to drive the two-way threaded rod 301 to rotate, and the two sets of connecting sleeves 303 are driven to move relative to each other on the two-way threaded rod 301, and the extrusion plate 304 is pushed under the transmission of the transmission rod 305, thereby applying pressure to the ink to increase the circulation speed of the ink, and then replenishing the ink in time to avoid ink shortage.
[0024] In this embodiment, a plurality of exhaust holes 306 are provided on the top of the supply cylinder 2. A positioning ring 307 is fixedly connected to the interior of the supply cylinder 2 and above the extrusion plate 304. Two sets of sealing rings 308 are provided on the outer side of the extrusion plate 304. The two ends of the transmission rod 305 are rotatably connected to the connecting sleeve 303 and the extrusion plate 304 respectively. Before the ink is introduced into the interior of the supply cylinder 2, the extrusion plate 304 is first moved upward until it is against the positioning ring 307 for positioning. During the movement of the extrusion plate 304, the squeezed air is discharged through the exhaust holes 306. At the same time, the sealing between the extrusion plate 304 and the supply cylinder 2 can be ensured by the sealing ring 308, thereby ensuring the extrusion effect of the ink.
[0025] The top of the cylinder cover 6 is fixedly connected to the feeding pipe 601, and the top of the feeding pipe 601 is threadedly connected to the sealing cover 602. A fixing block 603 is installed between the cylinder cover 6 and the discharge cylinder 5. The interiors of the two sets of fixing blocks 603 are rotatably connected to the threaded column 604. The top of the threaded column 604 is movably installed with a clamping block 605. The top of the threaded column 604 and the top of the clamping block 605 are threadedly connected with a nut 606. The ink is introduced into the interior of the discharge cylinder 5 through the feeding pipe 601. Then the sealing cover 602 is covered and the agitator 7 is started. The ink is stirred by the agitator 7 to improve the fluidity of the ink. When the cylinder cover 6 is closed, the nut 606 is locked at the top of the threaded column 604. The cylinder cover 6 and the discharge cylinder 5 are fixed by the fixing block 603 and the clamping block 605. After loosening the nut 606, the threaded column 604 can be rotated to quickly release the fixation between the cylinder cover 6 and the discharge cylinder 5, thereby facilitating the cleaning of the interior of the discharge cylinder 5.
[0026] In this embodiment, the discharge cylinder 5 is fixedly connected to the supply cylinder 2 through the connecting frame 501, and a first solenoid valve 502 is fixedly installed between the material guide tube 4 and the discharge cylinder 5. The discharge cylinder 5 is fixedly installed on the outside of the supply cylinder 2 through the connecting frame 501. After the ink is stirred by the agitator 7, the first solenoid valve 502 is opened to introduce the ink into the interior of the supply cylinder 2 through the material guide tube 4.
[0027] In this embodiment, a second solenoid valve 801 is fixedly installed between the feed pipe 8 and the supply cylinder 2. The feed pipe 8 is fixedly connected to the diversion ring pipe 10 through the connector 802. After all the ink inside the discharge cylinder 5 is introduced into the interior of the supply cylinder 2, the first solenoid valve 502 is closed, and then the second solenoid valve 801 is opened to introduce the ink into the interior of the feed pipe 8. During this process, the extrusion plate 304 is moved downward to apply pressure to the ink to increase the circulation speed of the ink.
[0028] In this embodiment, an annular flow channel 1001 is opened inside the diversion ring tube 10, and a multi-component diversion outlet 1002 is opened on the inner side of the diversion ring tube 10. The ink is introduced into the interior of the diversion ring tube 10 through the connector 802 and then enters the interior of the annular flow channel 1001. The ink is then squeezed out simultaneously through the multi-component flow outlet 1002, which not only increases the pressure of ink extrusion to ensure its fluidity, but also can quickly supply the ink box 9.
[0029] Implementation plan: The mounting bracket 1 is fixedly mounted on the flexographic printing machine, and the ink is introduced into the interior of the discharge cylinder 5, and then the sealing cover 602 is covered and the stirrer 7 is started. The ink is stirred by the stirrer 7 to improve the fluidity of the ink, and then the first solenoid valve 502 is opened, and the ink is introduced into the interior of the supply cylinder 2 through the guide tube 4. After all the ink in the discharge cylinder 5 is introduced into the interior of the supply cylinder 2, the first solenoid valve 502 is closed, and then the second solenoid valve 801 is opened to introduce the ink into the interior of the feed pipe 8. In this process, the motor 302 is started to drive the bidirectional threaded rod 301 to move. The rotation drives the two sets of connecting sleeves 303 to move relative to each other on the bidirectional threaded rod 301, and pushes the extrusion plate 304 under the transmission of the transmission rod 305, thereby applying pressure to the ink to increase the circulation speed of the ink. The ink is introduced into the interior of the diversion ring tube 10 through the connector 802 and then enters the interior of the annular flow channel 1001. The ink is then squeezed out at the same time through the multi-component flow outlet 1002, which not only increases the pressure of ink extrusion to ensure its fluidity, but also can quickly supply the ink box 9. The design can increase the circulation speed of the ink and replenish the ink in time to avoid ink shortage.
