The device includes a base plate 1, four sets of support legs 2 installed at the bottom of the base plate 1, and universal wheels 3 with brakes installed at the bottom of each of the four sets of support legs 2. The device is characterized in that: a mixing tank 4 is provided at the top of the base plate 1, a tank cover 5 is installed at the top of the mixing tank 4, a lifting mechanism is provided at the top of the base plate 1 to facilitate the opening and closing of the tank cover 5, a stirring mechanism is provided at the bottom of the tank cover 5 to facilitate the full mixing of raw materials, and a drive mechanism is provided at the top of the tank cover 5 to facilitate the operation of the stirring mechanism.

[0024] Specifically, the base plate 1 provides a stable working platform for the preparation of plastic gravure ink. The lifting mechanism facilitates the opening and closing of the lid 5 and the insertion and removal of the stirring mechanism. The drive mechanism enables the stirring mechanism to operate, allowing for efficient and thorough mixing of the raw materials. Thus, the above structure ensures that all components are mixed thoroughly and evenly, guaranteeing the quality of the ink.

[0025] The stirring mechanism includes a first stirring paddle 23 and a second stirring paddle 24. A rotating cylinder 15 is rotatably connected to the center of the bucket cover 5. A rotating shaft 17 is rotatably connected to the inner side of the rotating cylinder 15. A scraper 21, which fits against the inner wall of the mixing bucket 4, is sleeved near one end of the rotating cylinder 15. Three sets of first stirring paddles 23 are installed on both sides of the inner wall of the scraper 21. One end of the rotating shaft 17 is rotatably connected to a rotating seat 22 located at the bottom of the scraper 21. Multiple sets of second stirring paddles 24 are installed on the outer ring of the rotating shaft 17. The first stirring paddles 23 and the second stirring paddles 24 are connected to each other. The paddles 24 are staggered, and both sides of the scraper 21 are provided with spiral stirring plates 25 that fit against the inner wall of the mixing tank 4. The driving mechanism includes a second motor 20. The top of the tank cover 5 is provided with a transmission box 14. One end of the rotating drum 15 extends to the inner side of the transmission box 14 and is fitted with a first bevel gear 16. One end of the rotating shaft 17 extends to the inner side of the transmission box 14 and is rotatably connected to the top of the inner side of the transmission box 14. The outer ring of the rotating shaft 17 is fitted with a second bevel gear 18. Both the first bevel gear 16 and the second bevel gear 18 mesh with the transmission bevel gear 19. A second motor 20 is installed on one side of the transmission box 14. The output end of the second motor 20 extends to the inside of the transmission box 14 and is connected to one side of the transmission bevel gear 19. By starting the second motor 20, the second motor 20 can drive the transmission bevel gear 19 to rotate. The transmission bevel gear 19, through meshing with the first bevel gear 16 and the second bevel gear 18, can drive the first bevel gear 16 and the second bevel gear 18 to rotate in opposite directions. The first bevel gear 16 and the second bevel gear 18 can drive the rotating drum 15 and the rotating shaft 17 to rotate in opposite directions. The rotating drum 15 can drive the scraper 21 and multiple sets of first stirring blades 23 to rotate. The rotating shaft 17 can drive multiple sets of second stirring blades 24 to rotate in opposite directions. Thus, through the combined action of the first stirring blades 23 and the second stirring blades 24, the raw materials can be efficiently and thoroughly mixed. The scraper 21 can prevent the raw materials from sticking to the wall, and the spiral stirring plate 25 can push the raw materials to circulate up and down to ensure the uniformity of mixing. Therefore, through this setting, the components can be thoroughly and evenly mixed, so that the quality of the ink can be guaranteed.

[0026] The lifting mechanism includes a first motor 12. A support frame 6 is located on the top of the base plate 1, on one side of the mixing tank 4. A through groove 7 is formed on the top of the support frame 6. A connecting arm 8 is slidably connected to one side of the through groove 7. One end of the connecting arm 8 is connected to one side of the tank lid 5, and the other end is slidably connected to a limiting rod 9 located inside the support frame 6. A rack plate 10 is provided on one side of the connecting arm 8, and a drive gear 11 meshes with the rack plate 10. The drive gear 11 is rotatably connected to the inside of the through groove 7. A first motor 12 is installed on one side of the support frame 6 to facilitate the rotation of the drive gear 11. When it is necessary to open or close the tank lid 5, the first motor 12 is activated, which drives the drive gear 11 to rotate. The drive gear 11 rotates through the rack plate 10. Under the meshing action of 0, the rack plate 10 can be driven to move up and down. The rack plate 10 is fixed on one side of the connecting arm 8. Therefore, the up and down movement of the rack plate 10 will drive the connecting arm 8 to move synchronously. One end of the connecting arm 8 is connected to the bucket lid 5, and the other end is slidably connected to the limiting rod 9. Therefore, the limiting rod 9 plays a guiding and limiting role in the movement of the connecting arm 8, ensuring that the connecting arm 8 rises and falls smoothly. The up and down movement of the connecting arm 8 drives the bucket lid 5 to rise and fall synchronously. When the connecting arm 8 rises, the bucket lid 5 is lifted, opening the mixing bucket 4 for easy cleaning or maintenance. When the connecting arm 8 falls, the bucket lid 5 is lowered, closing the mixing bucket 4 to ensure the sealing during the mixing process. Thus, through the setting, the opening and closing action of the bucket lid 5 can be completed efficiently, so as to facilitate the cleaning or maintenance of the device.

[0027] The top of the bucket lid 5 is provided with a feeding port 26, and the top of the feeding port 26 is provided with a cover plate 27. The bottom of the mixing tank 4 is provided with a discharge port 28. The feeding port 26 is located on the top of the bucket lid 5 and is used to add raw materials into the mixing tank 4. The cover plate 27 is used to seal the feeding port 26 to prevent raw materials from overflowing or external impurities from entering during the mixing process. The discharge port 28 is located on the bottom of the mixing tank 4 and is used to discharge the uniformly mixed ink. The discharge port 28 is usually equipped with a valve to control the discharge of ink.

[0028] The mixing tank 4 has an observation window 29 on one side and a handle 13 on one side of the support frame 6. The observation window 29 is located on one side of the mixing tank 4 to observe the mixing state of the raw materials in the mixing tank 4 in real time. The handle 13 is installed on one side of the support frame 6 to facilitate the operator to move or adjust the equipment.

[0029] Working principle: First, the raw materials are fed into the mixing tank 4 through the feeding port 26. Then, by starting the second motor 20, the second motor 20 drives the transmission bevel gear 19 to rotate. The transmission bevel gear 19 drives the first bevel gear 16 and the second bevel gear 18 to rotate in opposite directions. The first bevel gear 16 and the second bevel gear 18 drive the rotating drum 15 and the rotating shaft 17 to rotate in opposite directions. The rotating drum 15 drives the scraper 21 and multiple sets of first stirring blades 23 to rotate. The rotating shaft 17 drives multiple sets of second stirring blades 24 to rotate in opposite directions. Thus, through the combined action of the first stirring blades 23 and the second stirring blades 24, the raw materials can be highly stirred. The efficient and thorough mixing process is achieved through the scraper 21 preventing raw materials from sticking to the wall and the spiral agitator 25 driving the raw materials to circulate up and down, ensuring uniform mixing. This allows for thorough and even mixing of all components. Finally, the ink can be easily discharged through the discharge port 28. When cleaning or maintenance is required, the first motor 12 is started, which drives the drive gear 11 to rotate. The drive gear 11 then drives the rack plate 10 and the connecting arm 8 to move upwards. The connecting arm 8 then moves the bucket cover 5 and the stirring mechanism upwards, facilitating cleaning or maintenance of the device and completing the entire operation process.
