Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of construction equipment, in particular to an ink fountain capable of evenly filtering ink. Background Art

[0002] With economic development, the construction industry is undergoing rapid development. The ink fountain, a common tool in traditional Chinese carpentry, is primarily used for layout in the construction industry. Its uses are threefold: 1) Drawing long straight lines: This is done by fixing one end of a dampened ink line, pulling it straight and taut to the desired position, then lifting the middle and releasing it; 2) Using the ink reservoir to store ink: This is used with an ink stick and a ruler to draw short straight lines or mark; and 3) Drawing vertical lines. This demonstrates the importance of the ink fountain to the construction industry.

[0003] However, in actual operation, due to the different ink contents in the ink tank, there may be too much or too little ink when drawing out the line. Too much ink will result in wasted ink, while too little will result in unclear lines. If too much ink is applied during the drawing process, it will result in wasted ink and contaminate the ink roller.

[0004] In summary, the existing ink fountain still has many deficiencies in filtering ink. In view of the above deficiencies, it is urgent to provide an ink fountain that can filter ink uniformly to solve the limitations of the traditional ink fountain. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of the utility model is to overcome the deficiencies in the prior art and provide an ink fountain capable of evenly filtering ink.

[0006] This ink fountain capable of evenly filtering ink comprises an ink wheel, a shell, a marker, a wire tube, an ink line, and an ink reservoir. The ink wheel and the marker are respectively arranged at both ends of the shell, and the ink reservoir is arranged at the bottom of the center of the shell. A wire tube is respectively arranged between the ink reservoir and the ink wheel, and between the ink reservoir and the marker.

[0007] One end of the ink line is wrapped around the ink wheel, and the other end is connected to the ink roller through the wire tube, ink tank, and wire tube in sequence. A sponge plug is inserted in the middle of the wire tube, and the bottom of the sponge plug is in contact with the ink line to filter excess ink on the ink line.

[0008] Preferably, an electric telescopic rod is vertically provided in the center of the shell, and an upper pulley is provided at the bottom of the electric telescopic rod. The ink line passes between the bottom end of the electric telescopic rod and the upper edge of the upper pulley to control the height of the ink line in the ink tank.

[0009] Preferably, one end of the wire tube connected to the ink wheel or ink cartridge is a horizontal section, and the other end of the wire tube is a vertical section. The vertical section is inserted into the bottom of the ink tank. At least two arc bends are provided between the horizontal section and the vertical section of the wire tube. A socket is provided at the top of each arc bend, and a sponge plug is inserted into each socket.

[0010] Preferably, the end of the wire tube connected to the ink tank is inserted into the ink tank, the bottom end of the wire tube toward the middle of the ink tank is higher than the other side, and a steering fixed pulley is provided to make the ink line level in the ink tank.

[0011] Preferably, a roller is fixedly connected to the center of the ink wheel, and both ends of the roller pass through the shell and extend to both sides of the shell for controlling the rotation of the ink wheel from the outside.

[0012] As a preference, the ink line and the tail of the marker are fixedly connected, and the sizes of the marker and the wire tube match; when the ink fountain is not in use, the head of the marker is inserted into the wire tube.

[0013] The beneficial effects of the utility model are:

[0014] 1) The utility model provides wire tubes on both sides of the ink tank, and sponge plugs are provided at the arc-shaped bends of the wire tubes. When paying out the ink, the ink line can be fully inked and the ink can be fully and evenly filtered through the sponge plugs, so that the ejected line is more uniform. When taking up the ink, the ink line can be filtered again with the sponge plugs that are not inked to avoid contaminating the ink wheel.

[0015] 2) When the utility model is winding up, the electric telescopic rod can be retracted to pull the fixed pulley up to lift the middle part of the ink line to above the ink liquid level, so that no more ink is added, which reduces the extra consumption of ink during the winding process and can greatly save ink.

[0016] 3) One end of the wire tube of the utility model is inserted into the ink tank, and the sponge plug at the top of the vertical section of the wire tube squeezes out and absorbs the ink on the ink line. Part of the ink can return to the ink tank through the vertical section of the wire tube, thereby improving the utilization rate of the ink. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0021] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the following embodiments. The following embodiments are provided solely to facilitate understanding of the present invention. It should be noted that, within the scope of the present invention, modifications may be made by a person skilled in the art without departing from the principles of the present invention. Such improvements and modifications are also within the scope of the claims of the present invention.

[0022] As an example, Figures 1 to 3 As shown, this ink fountain capable of uniformly filtering ink comprises: an ink roller 1, a housing 3, a spot matrix 6, a wire conduit 7, an ink line 9, and an ink reservoir 10. The ink roller 1 and the spot matrix 6 are respectively disposed at both ends of the housing 3, and the ink reservoir 10 is disposed at the bottom center of the housing 3. A section of wire conduit 7 is respectively disposed between the ink reservoir 10 and the ink roller 1, and between the ink reservoir 10 and the spot matrix 6.

[0023] One end of the ink line 9 is wound around the ink wheel 1, and the other end is connected to the ink roller 6 through the wire tube 7, the ink tank 10, and the wire tube 7 in sequence. A sponge plug 2 is inserted in the middle of the wire tube 7, and the bottom end of the sponge plug 2 is in contact with the ink line 9 to filter out excess ink on the ink line 9.

[0024] Specifically, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the wire tubes 7 on either side of the ink reservoir 10 are symmetrical. Specifically, the end of the wire tube 7 that connects to the ink roller 1 or ink cartridge 6 is a horizontal section, while the other end is a vertical section that extends to the bottom of the ink reservoir 10. Three curved bends separate the horizontal and vertical sections of the wire tube 7, creating a slightly higher horizontal section located in the middle of the wire tube 7. The tops of the curved bends at both ends of this horizontal section each have an upwardly angled insertion hole, each of which houses a sponge plug 2. All four sponge plugs 2 are removable and seamlessly connect to the wire tube 7.

[0025] The end of the sponge plug 2 inserted into the wire tube 7 pushes the ink line 9 against the inner wall of the arc bend, which can efficiently squeeze out and absorb the excess ink on the ink line 9. For the arc bend directly connected to the vertical section, the excess ink on the ink line 9 is squeezed out by the sponge plug 2 and can flow directly back into the ink tank 10 along the vertical section, thereby achieving a certain degree of excess ink recovery and avoiding ink waste as much as possible.

[0026] When the spot mother 6 is pulled out, the ink wheel 1 rotates to release the ink line 9. After the ink line 9 contacts the ink in the ink tank 10, it enters the wire tube 7 between the ink tank 10 and the spot mother 6, and continuously passes through the sponge plugs 2 at two arc bends to filter the ink, so that the ink on the ink line 9 is even and appropriate when it is pulled out from the front end of the ink fountain.

[0027] Further, such as Figure 3As shown, a roller shaft 11 is fixedly connected to the center of the ink roller 1. Both ends of the roller shaft 11 extend through the housing 3 and to both sides of the housing 3, extending a certain distance to either side. This allows for external control of the rotation of the ink roller 1. The contact portion of the roller shaft 11 with the housing 3 is lubricated. When the ink fountain is finished using and the ink marker 6 and ink line 9 are recovered, the two sponge plugs 2 on the conduit 7 between the ink reservoir 10 and the ink marker 6 can be removed as needed. The ink roller 1 rotates, wrapping the ink line 9 back around the ink roller 1. The sponge plugs 2 at the two curved bends in the conduit 7 between the ink reservoir 10 and the ink roller 1 filter the ink sequentially, removing as much residual ink as possible from the ink line 9 and preventing contamination of the ink roller 1.

[0028] The outer shell 3 is made of wood and has holes at the junction with the wire tube 7 and the roller shaft 11.

[0029] Example 2

[0030] As another embodiment, this embodiment proposes, based on the first embodiment, a more specific ink fountain capable of uniformly filtering ink:

[0031] like Figure 1 As shown, a sub-cavity 12 is provided at the inner top of the center of the shell 3, the top end of the electric telescopic rod 5 is fixed below the sub-cavity 12, and the bottom end extends toward the ink tank 10, and a power supply 4 is provided in the sub-cavity 12 for controlling the extension and retraction of the electric telescopic rod 5.

[0032] An upper fixed pulley 8-1 is provided at the bottom of the electric telescopic rod 5, and the ink line 9 passes between the bottom end of the electric telescopic rod 5 and the upper edge of the upper fixed pulley 8-1. The end of the wire tube 7 connected to the ink tank 10 is inserted into the ink tank 10. The side of the bottom end of the wire tube 7 facing the middle of the ink tank 10 is higher than the other side, and a steering fixed pulley 8-2 is provided. When the electric telescopic rod 5 is extended to the bottom of the ink tank 10, the upper fixed pulley 8-1 and the two steering fixed pulleys 8-2 on both sides are at the same height, and the part of the ink line 9 in the ink tank 10 is horizontal. At this time, the ink line 9 is immersed below the ink liquid level in the ink tank 10, and inking continues.

[0033] When the ink fountain is finished using, the electric telescopic rod 5 is controlled to extend and retract, and the upper fixed pulley 8-1 moves upward, pulling the center height of the ink line 9 within the ink tank 10 to change. When the electric telescopic rod 5 drives the upper fixed pulley 8-1 to move to a certain height, the ink line 9 is out of the ink liquid level. At this time, the ink wheel 1 rotates to pull the ink line 9 back and no ink is applied.

[0034] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the sizes of the marker nut 6 and the wire tube 7 are matched; the ink line 9 and the tail of the marker nut 6 are fixedly connected. When the ink fountain is not in use, the ink line 9 is recovered into the shell 3 as much as possible, and then the marker nut 6 is turned so that the head of the marker nut 6 is inserted into the wire tube 7. This improves the sealing performance of the shell 3 and prevents the ink from drying out or the ink line 9 from being contaminated by dust. Secondly, it provides convenience for the storage of the marker nut 6 and improves the structural integrity of the ink fountain. When the ink is released, it can be easily pulled out and the ink line 9 can be taken out.

[0035] It should be noted that the parts in this embodiment that are the same or similar to those in the first embodiment can be referenced to each other and will not be described in detail in this application.

[0036] The various embodiments in this specification are described in a progressive manner, and each embodiment focuses on the differences from other embodiments. The same or similar parts between the various embodiments can be referenced to each other.
