The slide 32 is provided with a drive mechanism 5 for controlling the rotation of the connecting rod 33. The drive mechanism 5 includes a drive disk 51, a drive rod 52, and a motor 53.
[0032] like Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, the drive disk 51 is horizontally rotatably mounted on the slide block 32 and located above the connecting rod 33. The drive rod 52 is vertically mounted on the outer edge of the drive disk 51. The connecting rod 33 is provided with a drive hole 54 arranged in a strip shape for the drive rod 52 to be inserted. The motor 53 is used to control the rotation of the drive disk 51.
[0033] like Figure 1 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 As shown, the feeding mechanism 4 is located on the other side of the base 1 and is used to extrude different inks into the mixing tank 2. The feeding mechanism 4 includes a support base 41, a turntable 42, an ink bottle 43, an ink injector 44, a connecting pipe 45, and a switching mechanism 6.
[0034] like Figure 1 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 As shown, the support base 41 is vertically mounted on the base 1, the turntable 42 is horizontally rotatably connected to the support base 41, the ink bottle 43 is located at the outer edge of the turntable 42, the ink injector 44 is located on the side wall of the turntable 42 and is used to move to the position directly above the ink injection hole 24, and the connecting pipe 45 connects the ink bottle 43 and the ink injector 44.
[0035] like Figure 5 As shown, the ink dispenser 44 includes an ink dispensing tube 441, an ink dispensing head 442, a partition 443, a pull rod 444, a spring 445, and a sealing head 446. The ink dispensing tube 441 is vertically disposed on the side wall of the turntable 42, and the connecting tube 45 is connected to the lower side wall of the ink dispensing tube 441. The ink dispensing head 442 is disposed at the lower end of the ink dispensing tube 441.
[0036] like Figure 5 As shown, the partition 443 is horizontally disposed inside the ink injection tube 441, the pull rod 444 vertically passes through the upper end of the partition 443 and the ink injection tube 441, the spring 445 is sleeved on the outer wall of the pull rod 444 and located above the partition 443, and the sealing head 446 is disposed at the lower end of the pull rod 444 and is used to block the ink injection head 442.

[0038] like Figure 4 , Figure 5 As shown, the suspension 61 is mounted on the support base 41 and extends above the mixing tank 2. The switch block 62 is vertically slidably connected to the suspension 61, and the switch plate 63 is horizontally mounted on the upper end of the pull rod 444. The switch block 62 has a through slot for the switch plate 63 and the pull rod 444 to be inserted. The electric cylinder 64 is used to control the vertical sliding of the switch block 62.
[0039] When it is necessary to adjust the color of the ink, place the mixing tank 2 on the base 1, then open the cover plate 21 on the mixing tank 2, and then control the slide 32 to drive the connecting rod 33 and the stirring paddle 34 to move downwards, so that the stirring paddle 34 is located inside the mixing tank 2. Then close the cover plate 21 and use the magnet 22 to attract and fix it.
[0040] Then, the motor 53 is started to drive the drive disk 51 to rotate. Under the cooperation of the drive rod 52 on the drive disk 51 and the drive hole 54 on the connecting rod 33, the connecting rod 33 is controlled to swing back and forth.

[0042] At this time, the electric cylinder 64 controls the switch block 62 to move upward. The switch block 62 drives the switch plate 63 and the pull rod 444 to move upward. The pull rod 444 drives the sealing head 446 to move upward synchronously, realizing the opening control of the ink filling head 442. At this time, the ink in the ink bottle 43 can be transported to the ink filling tube 441 through the connecting tube 45 and discharged outward along the ink filling head 442. At the same time, the electric cylinder 64 drives the switch block 62 to reciprocate, realizing the intermittent discharge of ink, which makes it convenient to control the amount of ink discharged.
[0043] After the ink has finished draining, the electric cylinder 64 drives the switch block 62 to reset, at which point the turntable 42 can continue to rotate to inject the next color ink. Furthermore, during the ink injection process, the stirring mechanism 3 continuously stirs and mixes the ink to ensure minimal color difference during mixing, guaranteeing thorough mixing of different pigments and improving the printing quality.
