Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a dilution tank, in particular to a dilution tank used for diluting printing ink. Background Art

[0002] Printing ink needs to be diluted before use. During the dilution process, water and concentrated ink are added to a mixing tank, followed by a stirring mechanism. A typical stirring mechanism uses a paddle, driven by a motor. The motor is often mounted on the tank's lid, and existing tanks often have a detachable connection. During operation, the motor's connection to the tank is susceptible to vibration, and a loose connection can cause the lid to separate from the tank, potentially spilling the printing ink. Utility Model Content

[0003] The main purpose of the utility model is to provide a dilution tank for diluting printing ink, which solves the technical problem that the connection between the barrel cover and the stirring tank of the existing stirring tank becomes loose during the ink dilution process, causing ink to splash out of the dilution tank.

[0004] In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the utility model provides a dilution tank for diluting printing ink, comprising a feed tank, a stirring tank, a stirring structure and a material guide pipe;

[0006] A feed port is provided on the side wall of the mixing tank, the feed port is sealedly connected to one end of the material guide pipe, the other end of the material guide pipe is sealedly connected to the first material discharge port, and a barrel cover is fixedly connected to the top of the mixing tank;

[0007] The stirring structure includes a motor, a transmission assembly, a rotating shaft, a stirring paddle, a connecting plate and a cleaning brush. The motor is fixedly connected to the barrel cover, and the output end of the motor is connected to the rotating shaft through the transmission assembly. The rotating shaft is fixed with a stirring paddle along its length. The rotating shaft is fixed with a connecting plate extending along the diameter of the barrel cover. Cleaning brushes are fixed at both ends of the connecting plate, and the cleaning brushes abut against the inner wall of the stirring tank.

[0008] Preferably, a water inlet pipe and an ink pipe are provided on the top of the feed tank, and the outside of the feed tank is fixedly connected to the support frame.

[0009] Preferably, the end of the material guiding pipe connected to the first material outlet is higher than the end connected to the material inlet.

[0010] Preferably, the transmission assembly includes a first gear and a second gear, the first gear is coaxially fixedly connected to the output shaft of the motor, the first gear is meshed with the second gear, and the second gear is coaxially fixedly connected to the rotating shaft.

[0011] Preferably, a slide groove is provided on the inner side wall of the mixing tank along its circumferential direction, and the cleaning brush is fixed with a slider, which is slidably arranged in the slide groove.

[0012] The beneficial effects of the utility model are:

[0013] The utility model arranges the feed port of the stirring tank on the side wall, thereby providing sufficient space for flow out from the top of the stirring tank, which is convenient for the installation of the stirring structure; the utility model first loads concentrated ink and water into the feed tank, and the two can be preliminarily stirred in the feed tank, thereby improving the stirring efficiency in the stirring tank; because the ink has been mixed with water in the feed tank, the possibility of ink adhering to the side wall of the stirring tank can be reduced; the stirring structure of the utility model is provided with a cleaning brush, which can clean the side wall of the stirring tank to prevent ink adhesion.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0021] The following is a clear and complete description of the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. In the following description, many specific details are set forth to facilitate a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention can also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein, and those skilled in the art can make similar generalizations without violating the connotation of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0022] like Figures 1-4 This novel invention discloses a dilution tank for diluting printing ink, comprising a feed tank 1, a stirring tank 2, a stirring structure 3, and a guide pipe 4. The feed tank 1 is used to initially mix concentrated ink and water for initial dilution. The top of the feed tank 1 is provided with a water inlet pipe 12 for water intake and an ink pipe 13 for ink intake. The exterior of the feed tank 1 is fixedly connected to a support frame 5, which supports the feed tank 1. A first discharge port 11 is defined at the bottom of the feed tank 1.

[0023] A feed inlet 21 is provided in the side wall of the mixing tank 2. This inlet 21 is sealed to one end of the feed pipe 4, which in turn is sealed to the first discharge port 11. To allow the ink and water in the feed tank 1 to flow into the mixing tank 2, the end of the feed pipe 4 near the first discharge port 11 is higher than the end near the feed inlet 21. A discharge channel (not shown) can also be provided at the bottom of the side wall of the mixing tank 2 to discharge the diluted ink. A lid 22 is fixedly attached to the top of the mixing tank 2.

[0024] like Figure 3 As shown, the stirring structure 3 is used to stir the ink and water in the stirring tank 2 evenly to complete the dilution of the ink. The stirring structure 3 includes a motor 31, a transmission assembly 32, a rotating shaft 33, a stirring paddle 34, a connecting plate 35 and a cleaning brush 36. The motor 31 is arranged outside the stirring tank 2, and the motor 31 is fixedly connected to the barrel cover 22. The output end of the motor 31 is connected to the rotating shaft 33 through the transmission assembly 32. As an embodiment of the transmission assembly 32, the transmission assembly 32 includes a first gear 321 and a second gear 322. The first gear 321 is coaxially fixedly connected to the output shaft of the motor 31, the first gear 321 is meshed with the second gear 322, and the second gear 322 is coaxially fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 33. The rotating shaft 33 extends to the interior of the stirring tank 2, and the rotating shaft 33 is fixedly connected with a stirring paddle 34 along its length. The stirring paddle 34 is arranged in the stirring tank 2. The rotating shaft 33 is fixed with a connecting plate 35, which extends along the diameter direction of the barrel cover 22. Cleaning brushes 36 are fixed at both ends of the connecting plate 35. The cleaning brushes 36 abut against the inner wall of the mixing tank 2. In order to prevent the cleaning brush 36 from shaking during the rotation process and improve the stability of the cleaning brush 36 during the working process, Figure 4 As shown, the inner wall of the mixing tank 2 is provided with a slide groove 23 along its circumferential direction. Figure 2A slider 361 is fixedly provided on the outside of the cleaning brush 36 , and the slider 361 is slidably arranged in the slide groove 23 .

[0025] During use, water and ink are added to the feed tank 1 from the water inlet pipe 12 and the ink pipe 13 respectively, and the ink is preliminarily diluted in the feed tank 1. Obviously, a stirring structure 3 can also be added to the feed tank 1, which will not be described in detail here. Subsequently, the preliminarily diluted ink enters the stirring tank 2 from the feed tank 1, and the stirring structure 3 is started. The motor 31 drives the first gear 321 to rotate, the first gear 321 drives the second gear 322 to rotate, the second gear 322 drives the rotating shaft 33 to rotate, and the rotating shaft 33 drives the stirring paddle 34 to rotate, thereby further stirring the ink evenly. The rotating shaft 33 also drives the connecting plate 35 to rotate, and the connecting plate 35 drives the cleaning brush 36 to rotate. The cleaning brush 36 cleans the inner wall of the stirring tank 2 during rotation to prevent the ink from adhering to the side wall of the stirring tank 2. When the ink is diluted, open the discharge channel on the side wall of the stirring tank 2 and discharge the ink.

[0026] 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 ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
