[0032] Through the above technical solution, when personnel need to use the device, the device is installed below the coating roller (not shown in the figure) on the gravure coater, the paint is added to the liquid guide part 2, the coating roller is dipped into the paint, and then the paint is applied to the material to be coated, and the liquid guide part 2 receives the paint, and the paint is transported through the liquid guide part 2, the valve 39 on one hose 38 is opened, and the valve 39 on the other hose 38 is closed, so that the paint is transported to the hose 38, and the paint is transported through the hose 38 to the inside of the shell unit. When the paint enters the shell unit, the paint is filtered by the filter unit, and the filtered paint is transported to the infusion part 4, and the paint is transported back to the liquid guide part 2 through the infusion part 4. The above steps are repeated to recycle the paint. When personnel need to clean the filter unit, they close the valve 39 corresponding to the filter unit to be cleaned, rotate the filter unit, separate the filter unit from the shell unit, and then clean the filter unit.

[0033] Specifically, in one embodiment, regarding the liquid guide member 2:

[0034] like Figure 1-Figure 5 As shown, the liquid guide member 2 includes a bottom frame 21 , and the top of the bottom frame 21 is open to form a bottom cavity 23 .

[0035] In this embodiment, the paint is received by the bottom cavity 23 on the bottom frame 21 and transported through the bottom cavity 23 so that the paint is transported to the housing portion for use.

[0036] When the paint flows into the bottom cavity 23, in order to facilitate the paint to flow into the inside of the hose 38, as shown in FIG. Figure 5 As shown, the bottom of the bottom cavity 23 is inclined downward from both sides at the middle position to form a second slope 22 , and the level of the feeding end of the hose 38 is at the lowest level of the second slope 22 .

[0037] In this embodiment, when the paint is inside the bottom cavity 23, the second slope 22 cooperates to allow the paint to flow faster in the bottom cavity 23 to the hose 38 for transportation, thereby improving the paint transportation efficiency.

[0038] In addition, in the present invention, regarding the housing unit:

[0039] like Figure 1-Figure 5 As shown, the shell unit includes a bottom tube 31, which is open along its own axis to form an inner cavity 32, and a drain pipe 33 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the bottom tube 31.

[0040] In this embodiment, the paint is transported through the hose 38 to the bottom tube 31. When the paint is transported to the bottom tube 31, the paint is filtered by the filtering unit, and the filtered paint is transported to the inside of the bottom tube 31. The filtered paint is transported through the drainage pipe 33 to the infusion piece 4, and the paint can be transported back to the device for use through the infusion piece 4.

[0041] Specifically, in one embodiment, regarding the above-mentioned filtering unit:

[0043] In this embodiment, before filtering the paint, the connecting ring 34 is screwed together with the connecting frame 36, so that the connecting ring 34 is fixed to one side of the side cover 37, so that the filter 35 is fixed inside the inner cavity 32. When the filter 35 is fixed, the paint is transported to the inside of the inner cavity 32 through the hose 38. When the paint enters the inner cavity 32, the paint is filtered by the filter 35. The filtered filter 35 flows to the drain pipe 33, so that the paint is transported to the infusion part 4, and the paint can be transported back to the base frame 21 for recycling through the infusion part 4.

[0044] In order to facilitate the collection of excess coating left on the coating roller, such as Figure 1-Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, a liquid storage component 1 is fixedly connected to the top of the bottom frame 21 , and a liquid storage cavity 14 for storing liquid medicine is formed inside the liquid storage component 1 , and the liquid storage cavity 14 is communicated with the bottom cavity 23 .

[0045] In this embodiment, the liquid storage member 1 is supported by the bottom frame 21, the paint is received by the bottom cavity 23 at the top of the liquid storage member 1, and the paint is stored in the liquid storage cavity 14, so as to facilitate the recycling of the paint.
