Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of pigment manufacturing technology, and more specifically, it relates to a feeding mechanism for a three-roll mill. Background Technology

[0002] The ink grinding process is of paramount importance. Its core purpose is to fully disperse pigment aggregates into the binder, thereby forming a dispersion composed of fine particles. The color and optical properties of ink are largely determined by the degree of pigment dispersion. This is because the size of pigment particles directly affects many key characteristics of ink, such as saturation and hue. Through grinding, ink can be significantly improved in several aspects, such as color vibrancy, gloss, hiding power, and adhesion, while its rheological properties and stability are also optimized. These improvements enable the ink to exhibit superior performance in subsequent coating and printing processes, thus meeting various process requirements. However, during the ink feeding stage, some ink often adheres to the inner wall of the feeding hopper. This phenomenon not only adversely affects the flowability of the ink during feeding, leading to uneven feeding, but also results in material waste, hindering efficient ink utilization, increasing production costs, and creating obstacles to the smooth progress of subsequent processes. Utility Model Content

[0003] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides a feeding mechanism for a three-roll mill, which solves the problem that ink adheres to the inner wall of the feeding hopper when feeding on existing equipment, which affects the flowability of the material and leads to material waste.

[0004] The feeding mechanism of this utility model for a three-roll mill is achieved by the following specific technical means:

[0005] A feeding mechanism for a three-roll mill includes: a support member; the number of the support members is set to two sets, and three sets of rollers are precisely arranged above the support members, in the order of front to back: rear roller, middle roller and front roller. Connecting rods are correspondingly provided in the gaps reserved on the front side of the three sets of rollers, and annular rods are firmly connected above each connecting rod. The annular rods are respectively connected to the two sides of the feeding hopper. A top cover is also provided above the feeding hopper. The front side of the top cover is specially provided with an opening, and a feeding port for feeding operation is provided on the feeding hopper part corresponding to the position of the opening.

[0006] Furthermore, the feeding hopper is precisely positioned on the upper side between the rear roller and the intermediate roller. A threaded fixing rod is provided at the lower end of the connecting rod. A positioning plate is provided at the connection between the threaded fixing rod and the connecting rod. A fixing nut is threadedly connected to the threaded fixing rod. The lower end of the feeding hopper is connected to the bottom plate of the hopper. A discharge port that runs vertically through the bottom plate of the hopper is provided.

[0007] Furthermore, a threaded rod is provided inside the discharge port. The diameter of the threaded rod is consistent with the diameter of the discharge port. The upper end of the threaded rod extends into the interior of the feeding hopper and is connected to the drive shaft. The drive shaft passes through the top cover and is then connected to the drive motor.

[0008] Furthermore, two sets of side scrapers are installed on both sides of the inner wall of the feeding hopper. The front side scraper has a locking plate at its front inner edge, and the rear side scraper also has a locking plate at its rear inner edge. Both sides of the outer wall of the feeding hopper are equipped with external control plates. The upper ends of the side scrapers and the external control plates are connected to each other, and the upper end of the outer side of the external control plates is connected to a control ring.

[0009] Furthermore, scraper plates are provided on both the front and rear sides of the inner wall of the feeding hopper. Two sets of return springs are provided on the upper side of the scraper plates. The upper end of the return spring on the rear side is connected to the top cover, and the return spring on the front side is connected to the bottom plate of the feeding port. Two sets of control ropes are connected to the lower side of the scraper plates. These control ropes first pass through the upper side of the bottom plate of the hopper, then pass through the side of the bottom plate of the hopper, and finally connect to the pull ring.

[0010] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0011] 1. The unique advantage of this utility model, through the setting of a threaded rod and a drive motor, is that it can effectively improve the fluidity of the ink during the ink feeding operation, creating favorable conditions for the smooth progress of the feeding work; at the same time, with the corresponding structural design and functional coordination, it can also play a positive role in preventing possible clogging problems, ensuring that the entire feeding process can proceed smoothly and continuously, avoiding feeding interruptions caused by clogging, and effectively guaranteeing the orderly connection and efficient operation of related production links.

[0012] 2. This utility model, by setting up a side scraper and a scraper plate, allows the side scraper to play a crucial role in the final stage of the feeding process. Through proper operation, it can precisely scrape off the ink tightly adhering to the side wall of the feeding hopper, causing it to collect on the front and rear sides of the inner wall of the feeding hopper. Simultaneously, the positioning plate equipped on the side scraper also works in concert to precisely position the scraper plate, ensuring it is in the optimal working position. Subsequently, the operator can skillfully control the scraper plate to move downwards by pulling the control rope, further scraping off the ink still adhering to the inner wall. This series of orderly and closely coordinated operations minimizes ink residue on the inner wall of the feeding hopper, avoids unnecessary ink loss, effectively improves ink utilization, and overall helps reduce ink waste, achieving rational resource utilization and effective cost control.
