Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of ink color mixing technology, specifically to an automatic ink color mixing device. Background Technology

[0002] Ink mixing refers to the process of adjusting or modifying the color, viscosity, or compatibility of inks during printing. Mastering ink mixing methods not only saves materials but also improves personal skills and technical abilities. A skilled ink mixer plays a crucial role in the development of new inks, color innovation, and cost reduction.

[0003] Patent CN220425257U discloses an automatic color mixing device for UV-curable inks. It includes a base with a weighing device mounted on it. An ink tank is mounted on the weighing device. A hydraulic cylinder is located on one side of the top of the base, and the output end of the hydraulic cylinder is connected to a support frame. A storage shell is connected to the support frame. This device, by including the storage shell, allows for the mixing of inks of different colors from the ink supply tank via a solenoid valve during ink color mixing. Simultaneously, the weighing device weighs the inks, ensuring proportional mixing and enabling the mixing of various ink colors. This facilitates operation.

[0004] However, this device lacks an internal cleaning mechanism, which means that after stirring the ink in the ink tank using the stirring rod and scraper, some residual ink accumulates on their surface. Therefore, when mixing inks of different proportions, the mixing personnel must clean the stirring rod and scraper before continuing, increasing their workload. Furthermore, even after cleaning the stirring rod and scraper, they need to be dried, further affecting ink mixing efficiency. Therefore, an automatic ink color mixing device is proposed to solve the problem of the existing mixing equipment's difficulty in conveniently cleaning its internal structure. Utility Model Content

[0024] 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.

[0025] Example: Please refer to Figure 1-5 An automatic ink color mixing device includes a mixing table 1, a weighing plate 2 and a mixing mechanism 4 on the top of the mixing table 1, a mixing tank 3 on the top of the weighing plate 2, a turntable 5 on the top of the mixing table 1, an electric push rod 6 fixedly connected to the top of the turntable 5, a top plate 7 fixedly connected to the top of the electric push rod 6, a motor 8 fixedly connected to the top of the top plate 7, a stirring rod 9 rotatably connected to the bottom of the top plate 7, a stirring plate 10 fixedly connected to the outer ring of the stirring rod 9, a servo motor 11 fixedly connected to the inner wall of the mixing table 1, a water collection tank 12 opened on the top of the mixing table 1, a baffle 13 fixedly connected to the top of the water collection tank 12, a water injection pipe 14 fixedly connected to the inner cavity of the baffle 13, a nozzle 15 on the outer ring of the water injection pipe 14, and a drying mechanism 16 in the inner cavity of the baffle 13.

[0026] Furthermore, the mixing tank 3 and the baffle 13 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the electric push rod 6. The baffle 13 is interconnected with the water collection tank 12. A drain pipe interconnected with the water collection tank 12 is provided on one side of the mixing table 1.

[0027] Furthermore, the output shaft of the motor 8 passes through the top plate 7 and is fixedly connected to the stirring rod 9. When the stirring plate 10 is located in the inner cavity of the mixing tank 3, the sides and bottom of the stirring plate 10 can fit against the cavity wall of the mixing tank 3.

[0028] Furthermore, the mixing mechanism 4 includes a movable groove 401 symmetrically opened on the top of the mixing table 1. An L-shaped movable frame 402 is slidably arranged in the inner cavity of the movable groove 401. A placement seat 403 is fixedly connected to the top of the L-shaped movable frame 402. An arc-shaped mixing box 404 is arranged in the inner cavity of the placement seat 403. A limiting arc plate 409 is fixedly connected to the outer ring of the arc-shaped mixing box 404.

[0029] Furthermore, the top of the arc-shaped mixing box 404 is provided with a storage cavity 405, the bottom of the arc-shaped mixing box 404 is provided with a discharge pipe 406, the outer ring of the discharge pipe 406 is provided with a solenoid valve 407, and the top of the arc-shaped mixing box 404 is provided with a cap 408. After removing the cap 408, different types of ink are added into the storage cavity 405 inside the arc-shaped mixing box 404. During mixing, the arc-shaped mixing box 404 is moved towards the mixing tank 3 by the L-shaped moving frame 402 in the moving slot 401, so that the discharge pipe 406 is located above the mixing tank 3. Then, by opening the solenoid valve 407, the ink can be discharged from the discharge pipe 406 into the mixing tank 3 for stirring and mixing, so as to achieve the purpose of automatic ink dispensing.

[0030] Furthermore, the drying mechanism 16 includes a drying pipe 161 fixedly connected to the inner ring of the baffle 13, one end of the drying pipe 161 is connected to an air inlet pipe 162, and an air jet head 163 is provided on the outer ring of the drying pipe 161.

[0031] Furthermore, the diameter of the baffle 13 is larger than the diameter of the mixing tank 3. When the stirring plate 10 moves down into the inner cavity of the baffle 13, the stirring plate 10 will not interfere with the nozzle 15 and the air jet nozzle 163. After cleaning, the air heated by the heating equipment can be introduced into the drying pipe 161 through the air inlet pipe 162, and then the hot air is sprayed from the air jet nozzle 163 toward the stirring rod 9 and the stirring plate 10, so that the stirring rod 9 and the stirring plate 10 are dried quickly, avoiding the residual moisture from affecting the subsequent mixing and preparation of ink.

[0032] Working Principle: When using this automatic ink color mixing equipment, the ink is discharged into the mixing tank 3 through the mixing mechanism 4. After the weight of the ink is controlled by the weighing plate 2, the top plate 7 is moved down by the electric push rod 6, so that the outer ring of the stirring plate 10 of the stirring rod 9 enters the mixing tank 3 and is in contact with the cavity wall. Then, the motor 8 is turned on to stir the ink in the mixing tank 3, realizing automatic ink mixing while improving ink mixing efficiency. When the ink is mixed and the stirring plate 10 is moved out of the mixing tank 3, the servo motor 11 is turned on to drive the turntable 5 and the electric push rod 6 to rotate 180 degrees. Then, the electric push rod 6 drives the stirring rod to rotate 180 degrees. The stirring rod 9 and stirring plate 10 are moved down into the baffle 13 and kept rotating. At the same time, the water pipe is connected to the water injection pipe 14 so that water is sprayed from the nozzle 15 onto the stirring rod 9 and stirring plate 10 to clean them, which facilitates the subsequent mixing and preparation of ink. This solves the problem that existing mixing equipment is difficult to clean its internal structure. While water is sprayed from the nozzle 15 onto the stirring rod 9 and stirring plate 10 to clean them, the electric push rod 6 can be used to drive the stirring rod 9 and stirring plate 10 to move up and down, so that the water flow and the stirring rod 9 and stirring plate 10 will have relative motion, thereby improving the cleaning effect.
