Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of ultrasonic cleaning device technology, and in particular to an ultrasonic anilox roller cleaning device. Background Technology
[0002] Anilox rollers are widely used in the printing industry, and their surface "inking holes" are responsible for transferring ink to the printing plate. To prevent the ink from curing and clogging these tiny holes, regular cleaning of the anilox roller is essential.
[0003] Ultrasonic cleaning technology, as an advanced cleaning technique, converts ultrasonic electrical signals into high-frequency mechanical vibrations via a transducer, which are then transmitted to the cleaning fluid. This causes contaminants such as ink to detach from the surface of the anilox roller immersed in the cleaning fluid, thus achieving the purpose of cleaning the anilox roller. To ensure that different parts of the anilox roller are fully in contact with the cleaning fluid, a cleaning tank and a drive device are required to rotate the anilox roller. However, current ultrasonic cleaning devices for anilox rollers cannot adjust the rotation speed of the anilox roller, which limits the cleaning efficiency. Secondly, the length of the cleaning tank is fixed, making it difficult to accommodate anilox rollers of different lengths. Finally, the cleaning effect is poor for some stubborn stains. Utility Model Content

[0023] Example
[0024] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, this utility model provides an ultrasonic anilox roller cleaning device. The control panel 5, ultrasonic generator 7, electric heater 8, first motor 31, second motor 41, and electric push rod 42 are commercially available products, and their principles and connection methods are existing technologies well known to those skilled in the art. The cleaning device includes a cleaning tank 2, a generating mechanism, a first drive mechanism 3, and a second drive mechanism 4. The control panel 5 is located on the outer wall of the front of the cleaning tank 2, used to control the start or stop of the generating mechanism, the first drive mechanism 3, and the second drive mechanism 4. The generating mechanism is used to generate ultrasonic waves and heat the cleaning fluid. The first drive mechanism 3 is used to drive the outer surface of the anilox roller 10 to rotate below the surface of the cleaning fluid. The second drive mechanism 4 is used to adjust the cleaning operation position to ensure that it can adapt to anilox rollers 10 of different lengths.
[0025] The cleaning tank 2 has a cleaning trough 21 at the top, and baffles 22 at both ends along the length of the cleaning trough 21. The baffles 22 provide support for the first drive mechanism 3 and the anilox roller 10 on their outer sides. The outer wall of the baffle 22 is fixedly connected to the push plate 43. The push plate 43 has a second drive mechanism 4 on its outer side. The second drive mechanism 4 is used to adjust the position of the baffle 22, thereby limiting the length of the cleaning operation to accommodate different models of anilox roller 10.
[0026] The first drive mechanism 3 includes a first motor 31, with a support plate fixedly mounted on its bottom end. The first motor 31 is fixedly connected to a rotating shaft 32, and a gear 33 is fixedly mounted on the rotating shaft 32. The gear 33 has a rough surface, and a rotating wheel 34 with a smooth surface is mounted on one side of the gear 33. Both the gear 33 and the rotating wheel 34 are fixedly connected to a baffle 22. The anilox roller 10 is placed above the gear 33 and the rotating wheel 34. The first motor 31 drives the gear 33 to rotate, and the friction between the gear 33 and the anilox roller 10 drives the anilox roller 10 to rotate. The rotating wheel 34 provides support and limits for the anilox roller 10, preventing it from falling or tilting during rotation. At least one set of the first drive mechanisms 3 is arranged in parallel to improve cleaning efficiency.
[0027] The second drive mechanism 4 includes a second motor 41, which is fixedly connected to an electric push rod 42, and the electric push rod 42 is fixedly connected to a push plate 43. The second motor 41 drives the electric push rod 42 to extend and retract, thereby moving the push plate 43 forward or backward, thus placing the baffle 22 in different positions and realizing adjustable cleaning length.
[0028] Both the first motor 31 and the second motor 41 are electrically connected to the control panel 5. The control panel 5 controls the rotational speeds of the first motor 31 and the second motor 41, thereby controlling the rotational speed of the anilox roller 10 and the forward speed of the baffle 22. The position of the baffle 22 is determined through data analysis. After each cleaning operation, the second motor 41 controls the baffle 22 to return to its original position.
[0029] The bottom of the cleaning tank 2 is equipped with a generating mechanism, which includes an ultrasonic generator 7 and an electric heater 8 installed at the bottom of the cleaning tank 21. The ultrasonic generator 7 provides ultrasonic energy, causing a large number of cavitation bubbles to be generated in the cleaning fluid. When these bubbles burst, they generate a strong impact force, effectively bombarding the ink and dirt on the surface of the anilox roller 10, thereby achieving a highly efficient cleaning effect. The electric heater 8 heats the cleaning fluid to the required temperature, optimizing the cleaning effect. Especially when dealing with different types of ink and stubborn stains, temperature adjustment helps to improve cleaning efficiency. The generating mechanism also includes a temperature sensor 9. The probe of the temperature sensor 9 is located inside the cleaning tank 21, which monitors the temperature of the cleaning fluid in real time and feeds the data back to the control panel 5 to ensure that the temperature of the cleaning fluid is always kept within the set range. The temperature sensor 9, the electric heater 8, and the ultrasonic generator 7 are all electrically connected to the control panel 5. Users can set and monitor various parameters, such as cleaning fluid temperature and ultrasonic power, through the control panel 5 to achieve intelligent operation and management.
[0030] The cleaning tank 2 is equipped with a lid 1, which is hinged to the cleaning tank 2. This lid 1 can seal the cleaning tank 2 during the cleaning process to prevent the cleaning fluid from splashing and to help maintain a stable cleaning environment. A drain pipe 6 runs through the back of the cleaning tank 2, and a valve 61 is installed on the drain pipe 6 for easy management of the discharge of the cleaning fluid after cleaning.
[0031] Working principle: Based on the length of the anilox roller 10, the control panel 5 sends a signal to the second motor 41, driving the electric push rod 42 to adjust the push plate 43 and the baffle 22 to the appropriate position. Then, the electric heater 8 is activated to heat the cleaning solution to the set temperature. The anilox roller 10 is placed on the gear 33 and the rotating wheel 34, the cover 1 is closed, and the first motor 31 and the ultrasonic generator 7 are activated. The first motor 31 drives the gear 33 to rotate, causing the anilox roller 10 to rotate, ensuring that the outer surface of the anilox roller 10 is in contact with the cleaning solution below the surface during rotation. After cleaning, the cover 1 is opened, the clean anilox roller 10 is removed, the valve 61 is opened to drain the wastewater, and finally, the second motor 41 is activated to return the baffle 22 to its original position.
[0032] Therefore, the present invention adopts the above-mentioned ultrasonic anilox roller cleaning device, in which the cleaning fluid temperature, anilox roller speed and cleaning operation length can be adjusted, thereby significantly improving the cleaning effect and the applicability of the equipment, and meeting diverse cleaning needs.
[0033] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model and not to limit it. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can still be made to the technical solution of this utility model, and these modifications or equivalent substitutions cannot cause the modified technical solution to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solution of this utility model.
