[0002] In today's era of rapid technological advancement and evolving consumer demands, color, as a key element of product quality and brand image, requires precise control. From color matching in fashion apparel to the appearance of electronic products, and even in industrial production processes such as coatings and printing, any subtle color difference can affect product quality and user experience. Against this backdrop, colorimeters have emerged, becoming a powerful tool across various industries for ensuring color consistency and accuracy through their professional color measurement and analysis capabilities.
[0003] A colorimeter typically consists of an illumination component, a detector, an optical component, and a signal processing and control component. The illumination component emits light of a specific spectrum to illuminate the surface of the object being measured.

[0032] 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.
[0033] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The present invention provides an embodiment of a colorimeter with automatic loading and unloading, comprising a base 1, which is the basic support component of the entire colorimeter device. A support plate 2 is fixedly connected to the top of the base 1, which serves as a transition and further support. A loading mechanism is provided inside the base 1. A connecting seat 3 is fixedly connected to the top of the support plate 2, which is used to fix a bracket 4. A bracket 4 is fixedly connected to the top of the connecting seat 3, which is used to install components such as a pressing mechanism. A pressing mechanism is provided inside the bracket 4.
[0034] The feeding mechanism includes a rotating roller 5. The surface of the rotating roller 5 is specially treated to increase the friction between it and the conveyed material, ensuring that the material can move stably during the conveying process without slippage. The rotating roller 5 is externally rotatably connected to the inside of the base 1. The base 1 is internally rotatably connected to a rotating roller 6. The rotating roller 6 works in conjunction with the rotating roller 5 to support and convey the material to be tested. The rotating roller 5 is externally fixedly connected to a drive wheel 7, which drives the rotating roller 5 to rotate. The rotating roller 6 is externally fixedly connected to a driven wheel 8, which drives the rotating roller 6 to rotate. The drive wheel 7 and the driven wheel 8 are coupled externally to a belt 9, which connects the drive wheel 7 and the driven wheel 8 to realize the transmission of power. The base 1 is externally fixedly connected to a drive assembly that provides rotational force. The connecting seat 3 is internally rotatably connected to an auxiliary assembly.
[0035] The drive assembly includes a support 10, which serves as the mounting support for the motor 11 in the drive assembly, providing a stable mounting base for the motor 11. The support 10 is externally fixedly connected to the outer side of the base 1, and the motor 11 is fixedly connected to the top of the support 10. The motor 11 provides rotational force to drive the drive wheel 7 to rotate. The drive wheel 7 drives the driven wheel 8 to rotate via the belt 9, thereby driving the rotating roller 6 to rotate. The drive end of the motor 11 is fixedly connected to the outside of the drive wheel 7. The auxiliary assembly includes an auxiliary wheel 12, which assists in the smooth movement of the material to be tested during the feeding process and reduces friction between the material and the internal structure of the connecting seat 3. The auxiliary wheel 12 is externally rotatably connected to the inside of the connecting seat 3, and an auxiliary wheel 13 is rotatably connected inside the connecting seat 3. The auxiliary wheel 13 and the auxiliary wheel 12 cooperate with each other to further ensure the stability and straightness of the material to be tested during the conveying process and prevent the material from shifting or jamming during the conveying process.
[0036] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4 The pressing mechanism includes a slide plate 14, which can slide smoothly within the bracket 4 to drive the connecting plate 15 to move. The outside of the slide plate 14 is slidably connected to the inside of the bracket 4, and the outside of the slide plate 14 is fixedly connected to the connecting plate 15. The main function of the connecting plate 15 is to transmit the movement of the slide plate 14 to the detection switch 22 to realize the pressing operation of the detection switch 22. The inside of the bracket 4 is fixedly connected to a round rod 16, which provides a guiding function for the slide plate 14. The inside of the slide plate 14 is slidably connected to the outside of the round rod 16. A spring 17 is sleeved on the outside of the round rod 16. The function of the spring 17 is to provide a restoring force for the slide plate 14. When the power component drives the slide plate 14 to move and press the detection switch 22, when the power is lost, the spring 17 can make the slide plate 14 return to the initial position. One end of the outside of the spring 17 is fixedly connected to the inside of the bracket 4, and the other end of the outside of the spring 17 is fixedly connected to the outside of the slide plate 14. The outside of the bracket 4 is fixedly connected to a power component that provides tension.
[0037] The power assembly includes a mounting base 18, which provides a stable mounting foundation for the electric push rod 19. The external part of the mounting base 18 is fixedly connected to the outside of the bracket 4. The electric push rod 19 is fixedly connected inside the mounting base 18. The electric push rod 19 is the power source of the pressing mechanism, providing pulling force to drive the slide plate 14 to move. The drive end of the electric push rod 19 is fixedly connected to the outside of the slide plate 14.
[0038] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 3The connecting base 3 has a fixedly connected detection head 20 inside. The detection head 20 can accurately capture the color information of the surface of the material to be tested and convert it into a digital signal, which is then transmitted to the colorimeter body 21 for processing and analysis. The top of the detection head 20 is fixedly connected to the colorimeter body 21, which is the core control and processing unit of the entire device. It integrates multiple functional modules such as signal processing, data calculation, and storage. The colorimeter body 21 has a detection switch 22 on its exterior. When the slide plate 14 moves under the drive of the electric push rod 19, the connecting plate 15 will press the detection switch 22, triggering the colorimeter body 21 to perform a color detection operation. The connecting plate 15 is slidably connected to the outer surface of the detection switch 22. The top of the colorimeter body 21 is equipped with a display screen 23, which is used to intuitively display the color data detected by the colorimeter. An adjustment button 24 is provided on the outer side of the colorimeter body 21. The adjustment button 24 is used by the operator to set and adjust various parameters of the colorimeter. A main switch 25 is provided on the outer side of the colorimeter body 21. The main switch 25 is used to control the power supply of the entire colorimeter device. A charging port 26 is provided on the bottom outer side of the colorimeter body 21. The charging port 26 is used to connect an external power source to charge the battery inside the colorimeter.
[0039] Working principle: The operator turns on the power of the equipment through the main switch 25, and sets the various parameters of the colorimeter through the adjustment button 24. Then, the operator starts the motor 11, which serves as the power source for the drive component. The motor 11 drives the drive wheel 7 to rotate, and the drive wheel 7 drives the driven wheel 8 to rotate through the belt 9. This causes the rotating roller 5 and the rotating roller 6 to rotate synchronously, realizing the feeding mechanism to convey the material to be tested. During the feeding process, the auxiliary wheel 12 and the auxiliary wheel 23 cooperate with each other to reduce the friction between the material and the internal structure of the connecting seat 3, ensuring that the material moves smoothly and linearly to the testing position.
[0040] Once the material reaches the detection position, the electric push rod 19 is activated. The electric push rod 19 drives the slide plate 14 to slide in the bracket 4 under the guidance of the round rod 16. At the same time, the slide plate 14 can stretch the spring 17. The slide plate 14 drives the connecting plate 15 to move. The connecting plate 15 presses the detection switch 22, triggering the colorimeter body 21 to perform color detection. The detection head 20 accurately captures the color information of the surface of the material to be detected and converts it into a digital signal, which is transmitted to the colorimeter body 21. The colorimeter body 21 analyzes and processes the color data through internal signal processing, data calculation and other functional modules. Finally, the detection results, such as color difference value, chromaticity coordinates and other information, are displayed intuitively on the display screen 23. After the detection is completed, the electric push rod 19 moves in the reverse direction, the spring 17 recovers its deformation and generates elastic force, which makes the slide plate 14 return to the initial position. At the same time, the feeding mechanism continues to work, conveying the detected material out and conveying the next material to be detected to the detection position, realizing the automatic loading and unloading and continuous detection of the colorimeter.

Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features.
