[0028] 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.

[0029] This utility model provides a technical solution: a device for heating optical fiber coloring ink. Please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 1 It includes a mounting bracket 1, and a support bracket 2 is mounted on the bottom of the mounting bracket 1. Please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 3 A vertical plate 3 is mounted on the front part of the upper surface of the mounting bracket 1. Please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 4 The surface of the vertical plate 3 is uniformly equipped with connecting rods 4, and each connecting rod 4 has a first gear 5 mounted on its front side. Please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 3 The front side of the vertical plate 3 is rotatably mounted with a second gear 6 at the position corresponding to the first gear 5, and the first gear 5 and the second gear 6 are meshed.

[0030] Please see Figure 2 Mounting structure 7 is located on the rear part of the upper surface of mounting bracket 1. Please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 4 Rollers 8 are evenly distributed above the mounting frame 1. All rollers 8 are connected to the mounting structure 7. Heating sleeves 9 are fitted on the surface of each roller 8. A shaft 10 is installed on the front end of each roller 8. A square post 11 is installed at the connecting end of each shaft 10. A square opening is opened on the rear side of the connecting rod 4. The square post 11 is inserted into the square opening of the connecting rod 4.

[0031] Please see Figure 1 The housing 15 is disposed on the surface of the vertical plate 3. A box 16 is installed on the bottom left side of the housing 15, and a cover 17 is installed on the front of the box 16. Please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 2 A frame plate 18 is mounted on the left side of the support frame 2, and a motor 19 is mounted on the upper surface of the frame plate 18. Please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 4 A vertical bar 20 is mounted on the back of the housing 16. A bearing housing 22 is bolted to the back of the vertical bar 20. The rotor of the motor 19 passes through the interior of the bearing housing 22. A mounting plate 23 is coaxially mounted on the rotor of the motor 19. A connecting plate 21 is bolted to the mounting plate 23. Please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 3 Both the first gear 5 and the connecting disc 21 are equipped with synchronous pulleys 26, and synchronous belts 27 are sleeved on the outer periphery of the synchronous pulleys 26.

[0032] The ink bottle is placed on two sets of heating jackets 9. Simultaneously, the motor 19 drives the installation plate 23 to rotate, which in turn drives a set of synchronous pulleys 26 to rotate via the connecting plate 21. Then, the synchronous belt 27 drives another set of synchronous pulleys 26 to rotate, which in turn drives the first gear 5 to rotate. Subsequently, the second gear 6 meshes with the first gear 5 to rotate, and this cycle repeats. This automatically drives the rotation of the ink bottle on the heating jacket 9, while simultaneously controlling the heating jacket 9 to heat it. This process both shakes and heats the ink bottle. On the one hand, it allows the ink bottle to be placed between two sets of heating jackets 9 and rotated for better mixing and heating. On the other hand, it makes the roller 8 easy to disassemble and assemble, facilitating subsequent inspection and maintenance. Furthermore, the transmission method of this device is less prone to failure. Even if a failure occurs, the connecting rod 4 can be easily disassembled individually, preventing the need to disassemble multiple structures if one set of connecting rods 4 fails. This enhances the ease of use and practicality of the device.

[0034] Please see Figure 5The mounting structure 7 includes a mounting plate 71, a cylinder 72, and a square block 73. The mounting plate 71 is mounted on the upper surface of the mounting frame 1. The surface of the mounting plate 71 is provided with a circular groove and an annular groove. A second bearing 14 is fixedly mounted on the inner wall of the annular groove. The cylinder 72 is interference-fitted with the second bearing 14. The square block 73 is fixedly mounted on the front side of the cylinder 72.

[0035] Please see Figure 1 A support block 25 is fixedly mounted on the upper surface of the mounting bracket 1. The support block 25 is in contact with the mounting plate 71. Please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 2 A slider 24 is fixedly installed on the bottom of the mounting plate 71, and a positioning groove is provided on the upper surface of the mounting bracket 1, with the slider 24 located in the positioning groove.

[0036] Please see Figure 6 The back of the housing 16 and the surface of the vertical strip 20 are both provided with mounting grooves 28. The mounting plate 23 passes through the interior of the mounting groove 28 and is connected to the connecting plate 21. The bottom of the motor 19 is equipped with a mounting base 29, and the bottom of the mounting base 29 is provided with a support base 30. Please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 7 An adjusting rod 31 is screwed to the bottom of the support base 30. The bottom end of the adjusting rod 31 passes through the bottom of the frame plate 18. An adjusting plate 32 is installed at the top of the adjusting rod 31 through a rotating shaft. The adjusting plate 32 is connected to the bottom of the mounting base 29. The bearing seat 22 is removed from the surface of the vertical bar 20. Rotating the adjusting rod 31 can drive the adjusting plate 32 to rise and fall, which in turn can drive the motor 19 to rise and fall. When the motor 19 moves downward, it will drive the connecting plate 21 to move downward, which can drive the synchronous pulley 26 to pull the synchronous belt 27, which can increase the friction between the synchronous belt 27 and the synchronous pulley 26, thereby reducing the phenomenon of slippage between the synchronous belt 27 and the synchronous pulley 26 during operation. After the synchronous belt 27 is tensioned, the bearing seat 22 can be reinstalled on the surface of the vertical bar 20 with bolts.

[0037] Locking nuts 33 are screwed onto the upper and lower parts of the surface of the adjusting rod 31. The upper locking nut 33 is located inside the support base 30, and the lower locking nut 33 is located below the frame plate 18. Limiting blocks 34 are installed on both the front and rear sides of the adjusting plate 32. Limiting grooves 35 are opened on the inner wall of the support base 30 at the corresponding positions of the limiting blocks 34. The limiting blocks 34 are embedded in the limiting grooves 35. The locking nuts 33 can limit the adjusting rod 31. The limiting blocks 34 and the limiting grooves 35 enable the adjusting plate 32 to move vertically.

[0038] In operation, the ink bottle is placed on two sets of heating jackets 9. Simultaneously, the motor 19 drives the installation plate 23 to rotate, which in turn drives a set of synchronous pulleys 26 to rotate via the connecting plate 21. Then, the synchronous belt 27 drives another set of synchronous pulleys 26 to rotate, which in turn drives the first gear 5 to rotate. Subsequently, the second gear 6 meshes with the first gear 5 to rotate, and this cycle repeats. This automatically drives the rotation of the ink bottle on the heating jacket 9 while simultaneously controlling the heating jacket 9 to heat it, thus shaking and heating the ink bottle.
