Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of viscosity measurement, and more specifically, to an ink viscosity measuring tool and equipment. Background Art

[0002] Measuring ink viscosity is crucial in the printing industry. Both high and low viscosity can affect print quality. Excessively high viscosity can lead to uneven ink transfer, resulting in streaks and unclear print quality. Low viscosity can also cause excessive ink flow, leading to spread around printed edges and poor clarity of details. Currently, viscosity measurement is primarily performed manually or with automated instruments. Manual measurement, due to its simplicity and intuitiveness, remains widely used by small and medium-sized printing companies. The viscosity cup is the primary tool for manual measurement. Using a container with a leak hole, the time it takes for ink to flow from the nozzle is measured, thereby determining the ink's viscosity.

[0003] However, traditional viscosity cup handles are typically designed to be longer to facilitate measurements in deeper containers. However, when used with shallower containers like measuring cups, these longer handles become cumbersome, requiring the operator to lift the cup higher, making the measurement process more laborious and affecting the operator's ability to observe the liquid flow. This inconveniences timing and affects measurement accuracy.

[0004] The above shortcomings need to be improved. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In order to solve or alleviate the problem that the existing viscosity cup is inconvenient to use when measuring the viscosity of ink in a relatively shallow volume, the utility model provides an ink viscosity measuring tool and equipment.

[0006] The technical solution of this utility model is as follows:

[0007] An ink viscosity measuring tool and device comprises a container for holding ink, wherein the container is connected to a connecting rod, and a handle is movably provided on the connecting rod. The position of the handle on the connecting rod is adjusted to change the height of the handle.

[0008] Furthermore, the handle includes a connecting portion sleeved on the connecting rod, and a locking piece is provided on the connecting portion, and the locking piece is used to lock or release the connection between the connecting portion and the connecting rod.

[0009] Furthermore, the locking member is a screw, which is threadedly connected to the connecting part, and the screw-in end of the screw abuts against the connecting rod to lock the position of the connecting part, and the screw-in end of the screw is separated from the connecting rod to lock the position of the connecting part.

[0010] Furthermore, an opening is provided on one side of the connecting portion, and the locking piece is threadedly connected to both ends of the opening, and the locking piece is rotated to adjust the size of the opening.

[0011] Furthermore, the handle includes a gripping portion, and the gripping portion is detachably connected to the connecting portion.

[0012] Furthermore, a connecting hole is provided on the connecting portion, the end section of the gripping portion passes through the connecting hole, and the end of the gripping portion is threadedly connected to a fixing nut.

[0013] Furthermore, a protective cover is provided on the outer side of the gripping portion.

[0014] Furthermore, the connecting rod is rotatably connected to the accommodating member.

[0015] Furthermore, a pivot is provided on the outside of the accommodating part, a connecting sleeve is provided on the connecting rod and is sleeved on the pivot, and the end of the pivot is threadedly connected to a limiting nut.

[0016] An ink viscosity measuring device comprises the above-mentioned ink viscosity measuring tool.

[0017] The utility model, according to the above solution, has the beneficial effect of providing an adjustable handle, allowing the operator to adjust the handle height according to actual measurement needs, thus avoiding the inconvenience of operating a traditional viscosity cup in a shallow container. At the same time, the tool also improves measurement accuracy and reliability.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0025] In order to make the technical problems, technical solutions and beneficial effects to be solved by the present invention more clearly understood, the present invention is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0027] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, an ink viscosity measuring tool described in one embodiment of the utility model includes a container 1 for holding ink, a connecting rod 2 is connected to the container 1, a handle 3 is movably provided on the connecting rod 2, and the position of the handle 3 on the connecting rod 2 is adjusted to change the height of the handle 3.

[0028] During use, adjust the position of the handle 3 as needed. For example, if the container for stirring the ink is deep, set the handle 3 at the upper section of the connecting rod 2 to increase the height of the handle 3 for easy material removal. If the container for stirring the ink is shallow, set the handle 3 at the lower section of the connecting rod 2 to lower the height of the handle 3 for easy material removal and to lower the height of the hand for easy operation. After adjusting the position of the handle 3, stir the ink evenly, then completely immerse the container 1 in the evenly stirred ink, and then pull it out of the ink at a uniform speed. The ink flows out from the oil leakage hole at the bottom of the container 1. When the container 1 is just pulled out of the ink surface height greater than 10 cm, press the stopwatch to start timing, observe the ink outflow situation, and stop the stopwatch when the ink bar just has a breakpoint. The time read on the stopwatch is the ink viscosity.

[0029] In this embodiment, the adjustable handle 3 allows the operator to adjust its height according to actual measurement needs, thus avoiding the inconvenience of operating a traditional viscosity cup in a shallow container. Furthermore, this tool improves measurement accuracy and reliability. During the measurement process, the operator can more conveniently observe the flow of the ink, thereby more accurately determining the ink breakpoint time and reducing measurement errors caused by inconvenient observation.

[0030] like Figure 2 As shown, in a preferred embodiment, the handle 3 includes a connecting portion 301 sleeved on the connecting rod 2 , and a locking member 307 is provided on the connecting portion 301 , which is used to lock or release the connection between the connecting portion 301 and the connecting rod 2 .

[0031] Specifically, the locking member 307 is a screw, which is threadedly connected to the connecting part 301. The screwed-in end of the screw abuts against the connecting rod 2 to lock the position of the connecting part 301, and the screwed-in end of the screw is separated from the connecting rod 2 to lock the position of the connecting part 301.

[0032] When adjusting the height of the handle 3, first, the connection part 301 of the handle 3 is placed on the connecting rod 2 and slid to the desired position. Subsequently, the locking member 307 (screw) is used to fix the position of the connection part 301. The operator rotates the screw so that its screw-in end is tightly against the connecting rod 2. Since the screw and the connection part 301 are connected by a thread, the tightness between the connection part 301 and the connecting rod 2 gradually increases as the screw is rotated deeper until it reaches a completely locked state. At this point, the position of the handle 3 is firmly fixed, ensuring stability during use. Conversely, if the position of the handle 3 needs to be adjusted, just rotate the screw in the opposite direction to separate the screw-in end from the connecting rod 2, and then the connection part 301 can be easily slid to a new position.

[0033] In this embodiment, the screw threadedly connects to the connecting portion 301 to lock the handle 3 in place, effectively preventing measurement errors caused by shaking of the handle 3 during operation. At the same time, the entire tool maintains excellent operational flexibility; the position of the handle 3 can be adjusted simply by turning the screw, making operation simple and quick. Furthermore, the screw, serving as the locking member 307, offers a simple and durable structure, further enhancing the practicality and reliability of the ink viscosity measurement tool.

[0034] In practical applications, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, an opening 302 is provided on one side of the connecting portion 301 , and a locking member 307 is threadedly connected to both ends of the opening 302 . The locking member 307 is rotated to adjust the size of the opening 302 .

[0035] In the process of adjusting the height of the handle 3, the connecting part 301 is first placed on the connecting rod 2 and slid to a preset position. Locking holes are respectively provided at both ends of the opening 302 on one side of the connecting part 301. The locking member 307 (such as a screw or a bolt) is threadedly connected to one of the locking holes. When the position of the handle 3 needs to be fixed, the operator rotates the locking member 307 so that it is gradually screwed into the threaded hole, and as the rotation proceeds, the size of the opening 302 is gradually adjusted to the minimum, thereby tightly clamping the connecting rod 2 and ensuring that the handle 3 is stably fixed on the connecting rod 2. If the position of the handle 3 needs to be adjusted, it is only necessary to rotate the locking member 307 in the opposite direction to increase the size of the opening 302, and the connecting part 301 can slide to a new position on the connecting rod 2.

[0036] like Figure 2 As shown, in a preferred embodiment, the handle 3 includes a gripping portion 303 , and the gripping portion 303 is detachably connected to the connecting portion 301 .

[0037] The connecting portion 301 is provided with a connecting hole 304 , the end of the gripping portion 303 passes through the connecting hole 304 , and the end of the gripping portion 303 is threadedly connected with a fixing nut 305 .

[0038] When assembling the handle 3, the gripping portion 303 is passed through the connecting hole 304 on the connecting portion 301. A certain length of the end of the gripping portion 303 is exposed. The fixing nut 305 is then tightened onto the end of the gripping portion 303 until the fixing nut 305 tightly abuts against the surface of the connecting portion 301, thereby firmly fixing the gripping portion 303 to the connecting portion 301. To remove the gripping portion 303, simply rotate the fixing nut 305 in the opposite direction to separate it from the gripping portion 303. The gripping portion 303 can then be removed from the connecting portion 301.

[0039] In this embodiment, the grip portion 303 is detachably connected to the connecting portion 301, which facilitates assembly or disassembly of the handle 3 and facilitates replacement or maintenance. The grip portion 303 can also be installed in reverse to reduce the overall length of the handle 3 and facilitate storage.

[0040] like Figure 2 As shown, in a preferred embodiment, a protective sleeve 306 is provided on the outer side of the grip portion 303, and the protective sleeve 306 is made of rubber.

[0041] In this embodiment, the protective cover 306 provides the operator with a more comfortable feel, reducing fatigue from prolonged gripping and improving work efficiency. Furthermore, the rubber material has excellent wear resistance and elasticity, resisting erosion by impurities such as oil, water, and so on, thereby protecting the grip portion 303 from damage and extending the service life of the handle 3. Furthermore, the protective cover 306 also provides an anti-slip function, increasing operator stability during operation and reducing the risk of accidents caused by an unstable grip.

[0042] like Figure 5 As shown, in a preferred embodiment, the connecting rod 2 is rotatably connected to the receiving component 1 .

[0043] A pivot 101 is provided on the outer side of the accommodating component 1 , and a connecting sleeve 201 is provided on the connecting rod 2 and is sleeved on the pivot 101 . The end of the pivot 101 is threadedly connected to a limiting nut 102 .

[0044] In this embodiment, the connecting rod 2 is rotatably connected to the accommodating member 1 via a pivot 101, allowing the connecting rod 2 to rotate relative to the accommodating member 1, thereby meeting different operational requirements and improving measurement convenience. Furthermore, a limit nut 102 stabilizes the connecting rod 2 during rotation, preventing the connection from loosening or falling off.

[0046] In this embodiment, the ink viscosity measuring device can be integrated with an ink viscosity measuring tool, combined with automated equipment to automatically lift the measuring tool, and automatically timed by a sensor to achieve automatic measurement.

[0047] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent replacements and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
