Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of water-based ink testing technology, and in particular to a process testing device for the preparation of water-based inks. Background Technology
[0002] Water-based ink, also known as water-based ink or flexographic water-based ink, is mainly made of water-soluble resin, organic pigments, solvents, and related additives through composite grinding. Water-based ink is particularly suitable for packaging printing products with strict hygiene requirements, such as tobacco, alcohol, food, beverages, pharmaceuticals, and children's toys. Water-based ink is a uniform paste-like substance composed of binders, pigments, and additives. The binder provides the necessary transfer properties of the ink, while the pigments give the ink its color. The binders of water-based ink are mainly divided into two types: water-dilutable and water-dispersible. The quality of water-based ink needs to be tested during processing.
[0003] Existing water-based ink testing equipment typically uses a coating roller to apply the ink to test panels of different colors. The quality of the ink is then assessed by analyzing and comparing the colors. However, over time, friction occurs between the coating roller and the test panel, which are in close contact. This friction gradually creates gaps between the roller and the panel, causing them to lose contact. Consequently, it becomes difficult to apply the ink evenly, affecting the testing results and making the equipment inconvenient for users. Utility Model Content
[0004] This application provides a process testing device for water-based ink preparation to solve the problem of existing water-based ink testing equipment. In the process of testing water-based ink, water-based ink is generally applied to test plates of different colors using a coating roller. The quality of the ink is tested by analyzing and comparing the colors. However, during long-term testing, because the coating roller and the test plate are in close contact, friction will occur during use. Over time, this friction will cause gaps to gradually appear between the coating roller and the test plate, resulting in the coating roller not adhering to the test plate. Consequently, it is difficult to evenly apply the water-based ink to the test plate during the coating process, which will have a certain impact on the testing results.
[0005] This application provides a process testing device for the preparation of water-based inks, including a testing box. Three sets of testing plates are installed inside the testing box. A feed inlet is located at the top of the testing box. A drive motor is installed at one end of the testing box, and a transmission screw is installed at the bottom of the drive motor. A screw nut is installed on the outer wall of the transmission screw, and a moving plate is installed on the outer wall of the screw nut. A return spring is installed at one end of the moving plate, and one end of the return spring is connected to a mounting box. An adjusting motor is installed inside the mounting box, and a motor drive shaft is installed at one end of the adjusting motor. A coating roller is installed on the outer wall of the motor drive shaft, and a scraper is installed on the outer wall of the coating roller.
[0006] Preferably, the bottom of the testing box is equipped with support legs.
[0007] Preferably, a sealing plate is installed on one side of the testing box, and an installation groove is opened on the back of the sealing plate, with a supplementary light installed inside the installation groove.
[0008] Preferably, a mounting plate is fixed inside the mounting groove, and a camera is mounted in the middle of the mounting plate.
[0009] Preferably, limit sliders are installed at both ends of the movable plate, and limit rods are inserted into the interior of the mounting box.
[0010] Preferably, the bottom of the testing box is provided with a discharge port.
[0011] Preferably, a testing host is installed on the top of the testing box.
[0012] Beneficial effects:
[0013] Considering the existing water-based ink testing equipment, the testing process typically involves applying the water-based ink to test panels of different colors using a coating roller. The quality of the ink is then assessed based on color analysis and comparison. However, during long-term testing, friction occurs between the coating roller and the test panel, which are in close contact. This friction gradually creates gaps between the roller and the panel, causing them to lose contact. Consequently, it becomes difficult to evenly apply the water-based ink to the test panel during the coating process, negatively impacting the testing results.
[0014] When testing water-based inks during the preparation process is required, the ink is poured into the feed inlet at the top of the testing chamber. The ink is then transferred to the coating rollers through three sets of feed inlets. The drive motor is then activated, causing the transmission screw to rotate. This rotation, in turn, moves the screw nut downwards along the outer wall of the screw. Simultaneously, the moving plate, mounting box, and coating rollers move downwards, applying the ink onto three sets of testing plates with different colors. The testing unit then collects, analyzes, and compares the images captured by the camera, allowing for color-based analysis. The quality of the ink is analyzed and compared. After the test is completed, the adjustment motor is turned on, causing the motor drive shaft to rotate the scraper until the scraper is in contact with the outer wall of the three test plates. At this time, the drive motor is turned on again, causing the scraper to move downward along the outer wall of the three test plates. The scraper scrapes off the water-based ink on the outer wall of the three test plates and discharges it through the discharge port, making it convenient for the user to continue the test operation. Since the mounting box is installed at one end of the moving plate by a return spring, the elastic force of the return spring will make the mounting box, the coating roller and the scraper fit more closely to the outer wall of the test plate, resulting in better performance of the coating roller and the scraper.

[0030] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present application, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0031] This utility model provides, for example Figure 1-6 The device shown is a process testing device for the preparation of water-based ink. It includes a testing box 1, with three sets of testing plates 8 installed inside the testing box 1. A feed inlet 9 is opened at the top of the testing box 1. A drive motor 10 is installed at one end of the testing box 1. A transmission screw 11 is installed at the bottom end of the drive motor 10. A screw nut 12 is installed on the outer wall of the transmission screw 11. A moving plate 13 is installed on the outer wall of the screw nut 12. A return spring 15 is installed at one end of the moving plate 13. One end of the return spring 15 is connected to a mounting box 17. An adjusting motor 18 is installed inside the mounting box 17. A motor drive shaft 19 is installed at one end of the adjusting motor 18. A coating roller 20 is installed on the outer wall of the motor drive shaft 19. A scraper 21 is installed on the outer wall of the coating roller 20.
[0032] The mounting box 17 is movably connected to one side of the moving plate 13 via a reset spring 15 and a limit rod 16. When it is necessary to test the water-based ink during the preparation process, the water-based ink can be poured into the feed inlet 9 at the top of the test box 1. The water-based ink is transferred to the coating roller 20 through the three sets of feed inlets 9. At this time, the drive motor 10 is turned on, causing the transmission screw 11 to rotate. Under the action of the transmission screw 11, the screw nut 12 will move downward along the outer wall of the transmission screw 11. At the same time as the screw nut 12 moves downward, the moving plate 13, the mounting box 17, and the coating roller 20 will move downward simultaneously. The coating roller 20 will apply the water-based ink to the three sets of test plates 8 with different colors. Then, the test host 23 collects the images captured by the camera 7. Analysis and comparison allow for the detection of ink quality based on color analysis and comparison. After the detection is completed, the adjusting motor 18 is turned on, causing the motor drive shaft 19 to drive the scraper 21 to rotate until the scraper 21 is in contact with the outer wall of the three sets of detection plates 8. At this time, the drive motor 10 is turned on again, causing the scraper 21 to move downward along the outer wall of the three sets of detection plates 8. The scraper 21 scrapes off the water-based ink on the outer wall of the three sets of detection plates 8 and discharges it through the discharge port 22, making it convenient for the user to continue the detection operation. Since the mounting box 17 is mounted on one end of the moving plate 13 by the return spring 15, the elastic force of the return spring 15 will make the mounting box 17, the coating roller 20 and the scraper 21 fit more closely to the outer wall of the detection plate 8, making the coating roller 20 and the scraper 21 perform better.
[0033] The bottom of the testing box 1 is equipped with support legs 2.
[0034] Two sets of support legs 2 are installed at the bottom of the testing box 1 to support the testing box 1.
[0035] A sealing plate 3 is installed on one side of the testing box 1, and an installation groove 4 is opened on the back of the sealing plate 3. A supplementary light 5 is installed inside the installation groove 4.
[0036] In this invention, a mounting groove 4 is opened at one end of the sealing plate 3, and a fill light 5 is installed inside the mounting groove 4. The fill light 5 can provide supplementary lighting for the camera 7 when it takes pictures, thereby increasing the clarity of the pictures taken by the camera 7.
[0037] The mounting plate 6 is fixed inside the mounting slot 4, and the camera 7 is mounted in the middle of the mounting plate 6.
[0038] The camera 7 is installed inside the mounting slot 4 via the mounting plate 6. The camera 7 captures images of the detection plate 8 after water-based ink has been applied, and the images are collected, analyzed, and compared.
[0039] Limiting sliders 14 are installed at both ends of the movable plate 13, and limiting rods 16 are inserted into the inside of the mounting box 17.
[0040] The lifting and lowering movement of the movable plate 13 can be limited by the limiting slider 14, and the movement of the mounting box 17 can be limited by the limiting rod 16.
[0041] The bottom of the testing box 1 is provided with a discharge port 22.
[0042] The water-based ink scraped off by the scraper 21 will be discharged through the discharge port 22.
[0043] The top of the testing box 1 is equipped with a testing host 23.
[0044] The detection host 23 collects, analyzes, and compares the images captured by the camera 7, thereby detecting the quality of the ink based on color analysis and comparison.
[0045] Working principle: When this process testing equipment for water-based ink preparation needs to test the water-based ink during the preparation process, the water-based ink can be poured into the feed port 9 at the top of the testing box 1, and the water-based ink can be transferred to the coating roller 20 through the three sets of feed ports 9.
[0046] At this time, by turning on the drive motor 10, the transmission screw 11 is rotated, and under the action of the transmission screw 11, the screw nut 12 will move downward along the outer wall of the transmission screw 11. At the same time as the screw nut 12 moves downward, the moving plate 13, the mounting box 17 and the coating roller 20 will move downward simultaneously. The coating roller 20 will apply water-based ink to the three sets of detection plates 8 with different colors.
[0047] Subsequently, the detection host 23 collects, analyzes, and compares the images captured by the camera 7. Based on the color analysis and comparison, the quality of the ink can be detected. After the detection is completed, the adjustment motor 18 is turned on, causing the motor drive shaft 19 to drive the scraper 21 to rotate until the scraper 21 is in contact with the outer wall of the three sets of detection plates 8. At this time, the drive motor 10 is turned on again, causing the scraper 21 to move downward along the outer wall of the three sets of detection plates 8. The water-based ink on the outer wall of the three sets of detection plates 8 is scraped off by the scraper 21 and discharged through the discharge port 22, so that the user can continue the detection operation.
[0048] Since the mounting box 17 is installed at one end of the moving plate 13 by the return spring 15, the elastic force of the return spring 15 will make the mounting box 17, the brush roller 20 and the scraper 21 fit more closely to the outer wall of the detection plate 8, so that the brush roller 20 and the scraper 21 have a better performance.
[0049] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this application, and are not intended to limit it. Although this application has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application.
