[0002] Thermal transfer ribbon coated ink is a type of ink specifically designed for thermal transfer printing technology, primarily used for printing labels, barcodes, tickets, and various packaging materials. Viscosity testing of thermal transfer ribbon coated ink is a crucial step in ensuring printing quality and efficiency. While existing devices can be used effectively to measure ink viscosity, they often require reprocessing after testing. If the viscosity is found to be substandard, the ink needs to be re-processed, hindering timely adjustments and preventing the device from achieving its intended performance. Therefore, we propose a new viscosity testing device for thermal transfer ribbon coated ink to address these issues. Summary of the Invention

[0018] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0019] Please see Figure 1-4 This utility model provides a technical solution: a viscosity detection device for thermal transfer ribbon coating ink, comprising a body 1, the inside of which is connected to a rotating rod 5 via a rotating mechanism. The rotating mechanism includes the body 1, a first motor 2, a first gear 3, a second gear 4, a rotating rod 5, and a stirring rod 6. The inside of the body 1 is fixedly connected to the first motor 2, and the first motor 2 is connected to the first gear 3. The first gear 3 meshes with the second gear 4. The second gear 4 is connected to the rotating rod 5, and the surface of the rotating rod 5 is fixedly connected to the stirring rod 6. The surface of the rotating rod 5 is fixedly connected to a scraper 7, and the scraper 7 is symmetrically arranged about the center of the rotating rod 5. The scraper 7 contacts the inner wall of the body 1, and the inside of the body 1 is slidably connected to a baffle 18. The inside of the body 1 is fixedly connected to a fourth motor 19, and the fourth motor 19 is connected to a second rotating shaft 20. The surface of the second rotating shaft 20 is fixedly connected to a rotating plate 21. A heater 22 and a temperature detector 23 are provided inside the body 1.

[0020] During use, a small sample of ink is scraped from the heat transfer ribbon and placed inside the machine body 1. At this time, the internal heater 22 is activated to heat the ink, and the first motor 2 is activated to drive the first gear 3 to rotate. Since the first gear 3 and the second gear 4 mesh, the second gear 4 drives the rotating rod 5 to rotate. At the same time, the stirring rod 6 on the surface of the rotating rod 5 rotates synchronously to fully mix the ink inside. Meanwhile, the temperature detector 23 heats the ink inside to the test temperature to simulate the actual use environment. After the ink is fully mixed, after the test is completed, the rotating rod 5 drives the scraper 7 to rotate, and the baffle 18 is pulled out from inside the machine body 1. The ink is discharged through the discharge pipe below. At the same time, the fourth motor 19 drives the second rotating shaft 20 to rotate. The second rotating shaft 20 drives multiple rotating plates 21 on the surface to rotate. The rotating plates 21 promote the discharge of the ink inside, and the rotation of the scraper 7 further scrapes the ink inside to one side for discharge.

[0021] The upper part of the machine body 1 is fixedly connected to the frame 8, and the frame 8 is connected to the moving plate 9 through a lifting mechanism. The lifting mechanism includes the frame 8, the moving plate 9, the second motor 10, the first rotating shaft 11, the third gear 12, and the rack 13. The frame 8 and the moving plate 9 are slidably connected, and the interior of the moving plate 9 is fixedly connected to the second motor 10. The second motor 10 is connected to the first rotating shaft 11, the first rotating shaft 11 is connected to the third gear 12, and the third gear 12 meshes with the rack 13. The rack 13 is fixedly connected to the interior of the frame 8, and the interior of the moving plate 9 is fixedly connected to the third motor 14. The third motor 14 is connected to the rotating block 15, and the rotating block 15 is connected to the transmission belt 16. The rotating blocks 15 are symmetrically arranged about the center of the transmission belt 16, and a rotational viscometer 17 is connected to the bottom of each rotating block 15. The rotating blocks 15 and the rotational viscometer 17 are threadedly connected, and the threads on the surface of the rotational viscometer 17 are in the same direction of rotation as the rotating blocks 15.

[0022] Select a suitable rotational viscometer 17, and thread it to the upper end of the rotational viscometer 17 and the rotating block 15. Then, start the second motor 10 to drive the first rotating shaft 11 to rotate, so that the third gear 12 on the surface of the first rotating shaft 11 selects the position. Since the third gear 12 meshes with the rack 13, it drives the moving plate 9 to slide above the frame 8, so that the moving plate 9 drives the rotational viscometer 17 below to descend, so that the rotational viscometer 17 enters the ink inside the machine body 1. At this time, start the third motor 14, and at the same time, the third motor 14 drives the rotating block 15 to rotate, so that the transmission belt 16 on the surface of the rotating block 15 rotates synchronously, so that the rotating blocks 15 on both sides rotate at the same time, driving the rotational viscometer 17 below to rotate, so that the rotational viscometer 17 rotates inside the ink. At the same time, the speed of the motor is adjusted during use, and the viscosity value at different speeds is recorded. The different measurement results are then compared with the standard value to determine whether the ink is qualified.

[0023] Working Principle: When using the thermal transfer ribbon ink viscosity testing device, a small sample of ink is scraped from the thermal transfer ribbon and placed inside the machine body 1. The internal heater 22 is then activated to heat the ink, and simultaneously the first motor 2 drives the first gear 3 to rotate. Since the first gear 3 meshes with the second gear 4, the second gear 4 drives the rotating rod 5 to rotate. Simultaneously, the stirring rod 6 on the surface of the rotating rod 5 rotates synchronously, thoroughly mixing the ink. At the same time, the temperature detector 23 heats the ink to the test temperature to simulate the actual usage environment. After thorough mixing, a suitable rotational viscometer 17 is selected. After the upper end of the rotational viscometer 17 is threadedly connected to the rotating block 15, the second motor 10 is activated to drive the first rotating shaft 11 to rotate. This causes the third gear 12 on the surface of the first rotating shaft 11 to select the appropriate gear. Since the third gear 12 meshes with the rack 13, it drives the moving plate 9 to slide above the frame 8, causing the moving plate 9 to lower the rotational viscometer 17 below. When the ink is introduced into the machine body 1, the third motor 14 is started. Simultaneously, the third motor 14 drives the rotating block 15 to rotate, causing the transmission belt 16 on the surface of the rotating block 15 to rotate synchronously. This causes the rotating blocks 15 on both sides to rotate simultaneously, driving the rotational viscometer 17 below to rotate. The rotational viscometer 17 rotates inside the ink. During use, the motor speed is adjusted, and the viscosity values ​​at different speeds are recorded. Subsequently, different measurement results are compared with standard values ​​to determine whether the ink is qualified. After the test is completed, the rotating rod 5 drives the scraper 7 to rotate, and the baffle 18 is pulled out from inside the machine body 1. The ink is discharged through the discharge pipe below. At the same time, the fourth motor 19 drives the second rotating shaft 20 to rotate. The second rotating shaft 20 drives multiple rotating plates 21 on its surface to rotate. The rotating plates 21 promote the discharge of the internal ink, and the rotation of the scraper 7 further scrapes the internal ink to one side for discharge, thus completing a series of operations.

Therefore, the embodiments should be considered illustrative and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description.
