[0022] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be understood to indicate or imply relative importance or implicitly specify the number of technical features indicated. Therefore, features specified as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of such features.
[0023] like Figures 1 to 2 As shown, the utility model preferably provides an ink packaging device, which includes a support component 1, a rotating component 2 and an ink cylinder 3; the bottom end of the support component 1 is connected to the ground; the rotating component 2 is arranged at the top of the support component 1, and the rotating component 2 includes two rotating seats 21, a rotating shaft 22 and a fixed frame 23, the two rotating seats 21 are respectively arranged at the top ends of the support component 1, the rotating shaft 22 is arranged between the two rotating seats 21, and the power output end of the rotating seat 21 is connected to the rotating shaft 22 to drive the rotating shaft 22 to rotate, and the fixed frame 23 is arranged on the rotating shaft 22; the ink cylinder 3 is arranged above the rotating shaft 22, and one end of the fixed frame 23 is engaged with the outer edge of the ink cylinder 3; wherein, the rotating seat 21 drives the rotating shaft 22 to rotate, thereby driving the fixed frame 23 to rotate, and the rotation of the fixed frame 23 drives the ink cylinder 3 to rotate.
[0024] Based on the above technical features, through the setting of the support component 1, the support component 1 is the foundation of the entire device, and its bottom end is firmly connected to the ground to ensure that the entire device remains stable during operation. The support component 1 has good load-bearing capacity to support the heavier rotating component 2 and ink tank 3 above; through the setting of the rotating component 2, it includes two rotating seats 21, a rotating shaft 22 and a fixed frame 23. The two rotating seats 21 are set at the top of the support component 1, serving as the installation and power transmission point of the rotating shaft 22. A gear power mechanism is installed inside the rotating seat 21, and its power output end is connected to the rotating shaft 22 for driving the rotating shaft 22 to rotate. At the same time, one end of the fixed frame 23 is connected to the rotating shaft 22, and the other end is used to fix and support the ink tank 3. At the same time, the rotation of the rotating shaft 22 and the fixed frame 23 drives the ink tank 3 to rotate. After the ink tank 3 is flipped over, the ink inside it flows into the ink tank of the packaging machine under the action of gravity, and there is no need for workers to manually dig out the ink with an ink spatula and place it in the ink tank little by little.
[0025] As some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 1As shown, one of the rotating seats 21 further includes a rotating member 24, and a driving gear member is provided at one end of the rotating member 24. A driven gear member is provided at a section of the rotating shaft 22 near the rotating seat 21, and the driving gear member and the driven gear member are meshed with each other. When the rotating member 24 rotates, the driving gear member is driven to rotate, and when the driving gear member rotates, the driven gear member is driven to rotate, thereby driving the rotating shaft 22 to rotate. Due to the arrangement of the driving gear member and the driven gear member, when the rotating member 24 is rotated, the driving gear member rotates accordingly. As the starting point of power transmission, the driven gear member is provided at a section of the rotating shaft 22 near the rotating seat 21, corresponding to the driving gear member, and meshing with the driving gear member. When the driving gear member rotates, the meshing action drives the driven gear member to rotate, thereby driving the rotating shaft 22 to rotate, causing the tilt angle of the ink reservoir 3 to change. This device can realize the rotation function of the ink reservoir 3 through manual operation, and has the advantages of convenient operation, high transmission efficiency and compact structure.
[0026] As some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 1 As shown, a grip portion 241 is provided at one end of the rotating member 24 away from the rotating base 21. The grip portion 241 is designed to allow the operator to hold the rotating member 24 more easily, reducing hand fatigue and discomfort, and providing sufficient friction to prevent slipping.
[0027] As some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 2 As shown, the fixed frame 23 includes a first frame 231 and a second frame 232. The first frame 231 and the second frame 232 extend perpendicularly to each other, and the middle portions of both the first frame 231 and the second frame 232 are connected to the rotating shaft 22. The middle portion of the first frame 231 is connected to the rotating shaft 22. This connection ensures that the first frame 231 rotates stably with the rotating shaft 22. The middle portion of the second frame 232 is also connected to the rotating shaft 22, further ensuring the stability of the connection between the fixed frame 23 and the rotating shaft 22. Because the first frame 231 and the second frame 232 extend perpendicularly to each other, they together form a stable support structure that effectively prevents the ink reservoir 3 from shaking or tilting during rotation. This design allows the fixed frame 23 to withstand greater weight and torque, thereby ensuring the safety and stability of the ink reservoir 3 and the ink inside during tilting.
[0028] As some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 2As shown, both ends of the first frame 231 are provided with first extensions 2311, both of which are rotatably connected to the first frame 231. Each first extension 2311 is provided with a snap-fitting portion 2312 on the end away from the first frame 231, which engages the outer edge of the ink reservoir 3. With the first extensions 2311 and snap-fitting portions 2312, when installing the ink reservoir 3, the operator can simply rotate or adjust the two first extensions 2311 outward to the appropriate position, place the ink reservoir 3 on the first frame 231, and then align and snap-fit the snap-fitting portions 2312 onto the outer edge of the ink reservoir 3. Because the first extensions 2311 are rotatably connected to the first frame 231, the position and angle of the snap-fitting portions 2312 can be easily adjusted to accommodate ink reservoirs 3 of varying shapes and sizes. Once the snap-fitting portions 2312 are securely engaged with the ink reservoir 3, the ink reservoir 3 will flip as the fixed frame 23 and the rotating shaft 22 rotate.
[0029] As some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 2 As shown, a second extension portion 2321 is provided at each end of the second frame 232, and both second extension portions 2321 are rotatably connected to the second frame 232. Similarly, with the provision of the second extension portions 2321, when the ink reservoir 3 needs to be installed, the operator can rotate or adjust the two second extension portions 2321 outward to an appropriate position, place the ink reservoir 3 on the second frame 232, and then abut the second extension portions 2321 against the outer wall of the ink reservoir 3, effectively ensuring stable rotation of the ink reservoir 3.
[0030] As some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 2 As shown, the support assembly 1 comprises a horizontally arranged first frame 11 and two vertically spaced second frames 12. The two second frames 12 are positioned atop the first frame 11. Together, the first frame 11 and the two second frames 12 form a storage area for the ink reservoir 3. The arrangement of the first frame 11 and the second frames 12 makes the first frame 11 the primary load-bearing component of the support assembly 1. Its horizontal arrangement provides a stable foundation for the entire assembly. The two vertically spaced second frames 12 are positioned atop the first frame 11, with a certain spacing between them. This spacing provides ample support for the ink reservoir 3 while ensuring the stability of the device. The size, shape, and height of the storage area should be designed based on the actual size and weight of the ink reservoir 3 to ensure that it can be securely placed within the area and facilitate operations such as turning it over and refilling it with ink.
[0031] As some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 1As shown, roller members 111 are provided at the four corners of the bottom end of the first frame 11. One end of the roller member 111 is connected to the first frame 11, and the other end is provided with a universal wheel 112. The provision of the roller member 111 and the universal wheel 112 improves the mobility and flexibility of the device. The universal wheel 112 is provided at the other end of the roller member 111, allowing the device to easily change direction during movement without the operator having to laboriously rotate or adjust the device itself. This design greatly improves the device's adaptability in confined spaces or complex environments.
[0032] As some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 1 As shown, the ink reservoir 3 has an internal storage cavity for storing ink, and the outer diameter of the storage cavity gradually increases from bottom to top. This gradually increasing outer diameter design also provides a more spacious interior space for the ink reservoir 3, making it easier for operators to clean and maintain it. This design also further increases the storage capacity of the ink reservoir 3.
[0033] As some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 1 As shown, both ends of the outer edge of the ink tank 3 are respectively provided with handles 31 for taking the ink tank 3. The handles 31 are provided at both ends of the outer edge of the ink tank 3, which can balance the weight of the ink tank 3 and make it easier for the operator to lift and move.
[0034] In summary, the embodiment of the present invention provides an ink packaging device, which has the following beneficial effects: 1) Support assembly 1, support assembly 1 is the foundation of the entire device, and its bottom end is firmly connected to the ground to ensure that the entire device remains stable during operation. The support assembly 1 has good load-bearing capacity to support the heavier rotating assembly 2 and ink cylinder 3 above; 2) Rotating assembly 2, including two rotating seats 21, a rotating shaft 22 and a fixed frame 23. The two rotating seats 21 are arranged at the top of the support assembly 1, serving as the installation and power transmission points of the rotating shaft 22. A gear power mechanism is installed inside the rotating seat 21, and its power output end is connected to the rotating shaft 22 for driving the rotating shaft 22 to rotate. At the same time, one end of the fixed frame 23 is connected to the rotating shaft 22, and the other end is used to fix and support the ink cylinder 3. At the same time, the rotation of the rotating shaft 22 and the fixed frame 23 drives the ink cylinder 3 to rotate. After the ink cylinder 3 is flipped over, the ink inside it flows into the ink tank of the packaging machine under the action of gravity, and there is no need for workers to manually dig out the ink with an ink spatula and place it in the ink tank little by little. The utility model effectively solves the problem in the prior art that when transporting and packaging a small volume of test ink, workers need to manually transfer the ink, resulting in low packaging efficiency of the test ink.
[0035] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this technical field, several improvements and replacements can be made without departing from the technical principles of the present invention. These improvements and replacements should also be regarded as the scope of protection of the present invention.
