DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0045] In order to make the objects, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present application clearer, the following will be combined with the accompanying drawings for the embodiments of the present application to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application and not all the embodiments. The components of the embodiments of the present application described and shown in the accompanying drawings can be arranged and designed in various different configurations.

[0046] Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of the present application provided in the accompanying drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the present application, but only represents selected embodiments of the present application. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0047] It should be noted that: similar reference numerals and letters represent similar items in the following drawings, and therefore, once an item is defined in one drawing, it does not need to be further defined and explained in subsequent drawings.

[0048] In the description of the present application, it should be noted that the terms "center", "upper", "lower", "vertical", "horizontal", "inner", "outer" and the like indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the drawings, or the orientation or positional relationship commonly placed when the product of the application is used, and are only for the convenience of describing the present application and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the indicated device or element must have a particular orientation, be constructed and operated in a particular orientation, and therefore cannot be understood as a limitation on the present application. In addition, the terms "first", "second", "third" and the like are only used to distinguish the description and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0049] In addition, the terms "horizontal", "vertical", "overhanging" and the like do not mean that the component must be absolutely horizontal or overhanging, but can be slightly inclined. For example, "horizontal" only means that it is more horizontal relative to "vertical", and does not mean that the structure must be completely horizontal, but can be slightly inclined.

[0050] In the description of the present application, it should be noted that unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "arrangement", "installation", "connection", "connection" should be broadly understood, for example, it can be fixedly connected, or it can be detachably connected, or integrally connected; it can be directly connected, or indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, or it can be the communication inside two elements. For those skilled in the art, the specific meaning of the above terms in the present application can be understood according to the specific circumstances.

[0051] As described above, the conventional toning machine usually adopts a mechanical parking device (such as a limit switch) to ensure that the color master barrel can be accurately parked when moving to the liquid outlet position. However, the mechanical parking device is prone to wear after long-term use, resulting in a decrease in parking accuracy. Therefore, the existing toning machine has the disadvantage of low parking accuracy of the color master barrel. Therefore, the present application proposes a color master barrel righting and positioning device and a toning equipment, which can accurately right the color master barrel to the preset liquid outlet position in the case of insufficient parking accuracy of the color master barrel.

[0052] As shown in Figures 1 to 6 A color master barrel righting and positioning device 10 is provided, which is applied to a toning equipment 100, and the color master barrel righting and positioning device 10 comprises a righting gripper assembly 1 and a driving part 2.

[0053] The righting gripper assembly 1 comprises a side wall 11 and a gripper portion 12 fixed on the side wall 11, and the gripper portion 12 is provided with a slope opening 123 at an end away from the side wall 11. A driving portion 2 is connected with the side wall 11, and is used to drive the side wall 11 to extend and retract in a first direction, when the side wall 11 extends, the gripper portion 12 abuts against the handle 61 of the color master barrel 6 at the color master barrel in-place position on the color mixing device, and the color master barrel 6 is righted to a preset liquid outlet position under the limitation of the space formed by the slope opening 123.

[0054] The side wall 11 is fixed on the driving portion 2. The side wall 11 and the driving portion 2 can be fixed together through mechanical connection (such as bolt, welding, etc.). The driving portion 2 is responsible for driving the side wall 11 to extend and retract in the first direction, so as to drive the gripper portion 12 to perform the righting operation. The first direction is perpendicular to the horizontal direction of the handle 61 of the color master barrel 6, and specifically, is further perpendicular to the direction in which the track of the color master barrel 6 at the color master barrel in-place position is located.

[0055] The gripper portion 12 is fixed on the side wall 11. The gripper portion 12 and the side wall 11 can be an integral molding structure, or can be fixed together through welding or bolt connection. When the driving portion 2 drives the side wall 11 to move, the gripper portion 12 is also driven to move synchronously, and when the gripper portion 12 extends in the first direction, the handle 61 of the color master barrel 6 at the color master barrel in-place position can be accurately contacted, and the color master barrel 6 is righted to the preset liquid outlet position through the slope opening 123. The opening of the slope opening 123 gradually increases from a first port away from the side wall 11 to a second port close to the side wall 11, and in the process of the gripper portion 12 extending in the first direction, the handle 61 of the color master barrel 6 is contained in the space surrounded by the slope opening 123, and since the opening of the second port is smaller than that of the first port, the movable space of the handle 61 of the color master barrel 6 gradually decreases in the process of being surrounded by the gripper portion 12, so that the color master barrel 6 is limited to the preset liquid outlet position by the slope opening 123.

[0056] The color master barrel in-place position refers to the position of the color master barrel in the in-place state on the color mixing device. The color master barrel is driven by the conveying portion 4 of the color mixing device 100 to run to the color master barrel in-place position, so as to perform corresponding operations. Since it is difficult to achieve accurate parking only by relying on the conveying of the conveying portion 4, the color master barrel in-place position conveyed by the conveying portion 4 is not accurately parked at the preset liquid outlet position, but is at a position near the liquid outlet position, and there is a certain range of deviation from the liquid outlet position, so it is necessary to right the color master barrel 6 to the liquid outlet position, so as to subsequently pump the color paste out of the color master barrel 6.

[0057] In the embodiment, when the side wall 11 is in the retracted state, the gripper 12 is away from the handle of the color master barrel. When the driving part 2 is started, the driving part 2 drives the side wall 11 to extend in the first direction. The side wall 11 drives the gripper 12 to approach the handle 61 of the color master barrel 6. When the side wall 11 is fully extended, the slope angle opening 123 of the gripper 12 is in contact with the handle 61 of the color master barrel 6. The slope angle opening 123 of the gripper 12 limits the handle 61 of the color master barrel 6, so that the color master barrel 6 is righted to the preset liquid outlet position. After righting is completed, the driving part 2 is reversely operated to drive the side wall 11 to retract, and the gripper 12 is away from the handle 61 of the color master barrel 6.

[0058] In the color master barrel righting and positioning device 10 in the application, the driving part 2 controls the righting gripper assembly 1 to extend and retract in the first direction, so that the stable contact and separation of the gripper 12 and the handle 61 of the color master barrel 6 can be controlled. By providing the gripper 12 with the slope angle opening 123, the handle 61 of the color master barrel 6 is limited in the space formed by the slope angle opening 123 when the gripper 12 extends, and the color master barrel 6 is stably righted to the preset liquid outlet position under the limitation of the space formed by the slope angle opening 123, so that the righting of the color master barrel 6 is realized, the positioning accuracy of the color master barrel 6 is improved, and the subsequent pumping of the color paste is facilitated.

[0059] In an embodiment, the righting gripper assembly 1 comprises a cross beam 121 fixed on the side wall 11, and two front arms 122 extending forward from one end of the cross beam 121 away from the side wall 11, the two front arms 122 and the cross beam 121 forming a slope angle opening 123.

[0060] The cross beam 121 is fixed on the side wall 11 and is used to support the front arms 122 to ensure the stability of the front arms 122. The cross beam 121 and the side wall 11 can be connected by welding or bolts.

[0061] The front arms 122 extend forward from one end of the cross beam 121 away from the side wall 11. The front arms 122 and the cross beam 121 can be integrally formed, or can be connected by welding or bolts. The two front arms 122 and the cross beam 121 jointly form the slope angle opening 123 for grabbing and righting the handle 61 of the color master barrel 6.

[0062] In the embodiment, the stability of the gripper 12 is ensured by the cross beam 121 and the front arms 122, and the shaking and deviation in the righting process are avoided.

[0063] In an embodiment, as shown in FIG. 1, the righting gripper assembly 1 comprises a side wall 11, a driving part 2, and a gripper 12. Figure 7As shown, the two forward extension arms 122 are engaged with the handle of the color mother barrel. The first gap width of the two forward extension arms 122 in the first position 124 is greater than the second gap width in the second position 125. The first distance from the first position 124 to the crossbeam 121 is greater than the second distance from the second position 125 to the crossbeam 121.

[0064] In this embodiment, the spatial contour of the handle surrounding the color master barrel formed by the two extendable arms 122 matches the outer contour of the handle, thereby enabling the handle to be engaged. Taking the handle of the color master barrel as an example, which is roughly rectangular, the two extendable arms 122 that engage with the handle of the color master barrel are parallel to each other. Since the opposite faces of the two parallel extendable arms 122 away from the crossbeam 121 are both provided with a bevel angle, the first gap width between the two extendable arms 122 is the largest at the first position 124, which is the farthest from the first dotted line to the crossbeam 121. At the second position 125, which is closer to the second dotted line to the crossbeam 121, the second gap width between the two extendable arms 122 is smaller. The first gap width is greater than the second gap width. If a third position 126 is set where the third distance to the dotted line to the crossbeam 121 is less than the second distance, the third gap width between the two extendable arms 122 is equal to the second gap width at the second position 125.

[0065] In some embodiments, the sidewall 11 includes a first sidewall and a second sidewall that are parallel to each other. The first sidewall is fixed to a first end of the crossbeam 121, and the second sidewall is fixed to a second end of the crossbeam 121. The parallel design of the first and second sidewalls ensures that the two extension arms 122 maintain a consistent distance at different positions, ensuring the overall stability and balance of the color mother barrel straightening and positioning device 10 and preventing swaying and displacement during the straightening process. At the same time, the two ends of the crossbeam 121 are fixed to the first and second sidewalls respectively, improving the stability and strength of the crossbeam 121, thereby ensuring the normal operation of the extension arms 122.

[0066] In one embodiment, each extender arm 122 includes an outer end face 1221, a distal end face 1222 away from the crossbeam 121, an inclined surface 1223, and an inner end face 1224 connected in sequence. The crossbeam 121 and the inclined surface 1223 and the inner end face 1224 of the two extender arms 122 surround each other to form a slope opening 123.

[0067] In one embodiment, such as Figure 6 As shown, the drive unit 2 includes:

[0068] Support panel 21 connected to side wall 11;

[0069] A drive motor 22 is fixed to the support panel 21;

[0070] A gear set 23 is connected to the driving motor 22, and the gear set 23 drives the centralizer assembly 1 to extend and retract in the first direction under the driving of the driving motor 22.

[0071] The support panel 21 provides a mounting platform, ensuring that each component of the driving part 2 and the side wall 11 can be stably mounted on the support panel 21.

[0072] The driving motor 22 is used to provide power to drive the gear set 23. The driving motor 22 can be fixed on the support panel 21 by bolts.

[0073] The gear set 23 is used to drive the centralizer assembly 1 to extend and retract in the first direction under the driving of the driving motor 22. The gear set 23 can be fixed on the support panel 21 by bearings.

[0074] In some embodiments, different extension and retraction speeds can be achieved by adjusting the transmission ratio of the gear set 23.

[0075] In this embodiment, the stable mounting of the support panel 21 and the driving motor 22 ensures the stability of the driving part 2, avoiding shaking and deviation during movement. The design of the gear set 23 ensures high precision of transmission, ensuring accurate movement of the centralizer assembly 1.

[0076] In one embodiment, the support panel 21 is provided with a side wall accommodating part 211, and the side wall 11 extends and retracts in the first direction within the side wall accommodating part 211; the gear set 23 includes a gear 231 connected to the driving motor 22 and a rack part 232 engaged with the gear 231, the driving motor 22 drives the gear 231 to rotate, and the rack part 232 extends and retracts in the first direction under the rotation of the gear 231; the side wall 11 abuts against the rack part 232 and moves in the first direction following the rack part 232.

[0077] The side wall accommodating part 211 in this embodiment is used to provide a movement track for the side wall 11, ensuring that the side wall 11 extends and retracts smoothly in the first direction. The side wall accommodating part 211 can be a groove or guide rail fixed on the lower bottom surface of the support panel 21, and the side wall 11 slides therein, reducing friction and wear.

[0078] The engagement of the gear 231 and the rack part 232 in this embodiment ensures high precision of transmission, ensuring accurate movement of the side wall 11.

[0079] In some embodiments, the rack part 232 includes a rack 2321 arranged in the first direction and a pushing beam 2322 fixed perpendicularly to the rack; the side wall accommodating part 211 is provided with a side wall accommodating hole, and the side wall 11 is fixedly connected to the pushing beam 2322 after being arranged in the side wall accommodating hole.

[0080] The pushing beam 2322 in the embodiment is used to fix the side wall 11 and ensure that the side wall 11 moves with the rack part 232.

[0081] The side wall accommodating hole in the embodiment is used to provide a movement track of the side wall 11 and ensure that the side wall 11 smoothly extends and retracts in the first direction.

[0082] In some embodiments, the color master bucket righting positioning device 10 further comprises a position detection part for detecting the extension position of the righting gripper assembly 1. The position detection part can be a photoelectric sensor, a proximity switch or other types of sensors installed at appropriate positions to monitor the movement position of the righting gripper assembly 1, thereby improving the automation and accuracy of the entire color master bucket righting positioning device 10.

[0083] As shown in Figures 8 to 11 The present application also provides a toning equipment 100, which comprises the color master bucket righting positioning device 10 according to any one of the above embodiments, a track 3, a color master bucket mounting part 5 sleeved on the track 3, a conveying part 4 connected to the color master bucket mounting part 5, and the color master bucket righting positioning device 10 righting the color master bucket 6 to a preset liquid outlet position when the color master bucket mounting part 5 moves to the color master bucket positioning position along with the conveying part 4.

[0084] The track 3 is a movement path of the color master bucket mounting part 5 transporting the color master bucket 6, and can comprise a straight track and / or a curved track, and can be closed or not closed. It should not be difficult for those skilled in the art to understand that those skilled in the art can reasonably set the shape of the track 3 according to actual design needs.

[0085] The color master bucket mounting part 5 is used to carry the color master bucket 6 to move along the track 3. It comprises a pulley assembly 51 for realizing the movement function, a color master bucket support top plate 52 for bearing the color master bucket 6, and a color master bucket stop edge 53 for fixing the color master bucket 6.

The sliding groove 5111 is annularly arranged on the outer circumferential surface of the pulley 511, and the shape of the sliding groove 5111 can be rectangular, V-shaped or U-shaped, depending on the shape of the track 3. Through the cooperation of the sliding groove 5111 and the inner and outer sides of the track 3, the pulley 511 can roll or slide on the track 3, thereby realizing the movement of the pulley assembly 51.

[0087] In some embodiments, the pulley assembly 51 can further comprise a pulley fixing plate 512 for fixing and supporting the entire pulley assembly 51, and a number of pulley bearing shafts 513 matching the number of pulleys 511, protrudingly fixed to the lower bottom surface of the pulley fixing plate 512 for installing the pulleys 511. The pulleys 511 are arranged through the protruding portions of the pulley bearing shafts 513, which allows the pulleys 511 to rotate freely on the pulley bearing shafts 513 while being fixed to the pulley fixing plate 512 through the pulley bearing shafts 513. In this embodiment, the pulley assembly 51 not only provides stable support and reduces friction, but also ensures smooth movement of the color master cylinder mounting portion 5 along the track 3, thereby improving the efficiency and reliability of the entire color master cylinder righting and positioning device 10.
