Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of cigarette machine technology, and in particular to a ZJ118 cigarette machine stamp ink adjustment device. Background Technology

[0002] The ZJ118 cigarette rolling machine is mainly used in cigarette packaging production in cigarette factories. During the cigarette rolling process, tobacco shreds are packaged into the paper roll through a rolling process to form a cylindrical cigarette. Before rolling, the paper roll is marked with ink carried by a steel stamp to meet the technical requirements of the production process.

[0003] In an ink supply system, ink is supplied to the ink supply roller through ink nozzles, and the distance between the ink nozzles and the ink supply roller is generally fixed. However, ink flowability is highly susceptible to fluctuations in environmental parameters such as temperature. In low-temperature production environments, ink viscosity increases and flowability decreases. This creates localized high-pressure zones between the nozzles and the ink supply roller, hindering smooth ink flow and causing ink accumulation in some areas while other areas experience insufficient ink supply. Conversely, when the ambient temperature rises, ink viscosity decreases and flowability significantly increases. Between the ink nozzles and the ink supply roller with a fixed gap, excessive ink flowability causes the ink to travel at higher speeds and under greater pressure as it passes through the gap, leading to ink splattering. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this application is to provide a ZJ118 cigarette machine steel stamp ink adjustment device to solve the problem that the fixed distance between the ink nozzle and the ink supply roller in the prior art cannot adapt to the characteristics of ink flow that change with ambient temperature, resulting in unstable ink supply and affecting the printing quality and production efficiency of cigarette labels.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this application adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] This application provides a ZJ118 cigarette machine stamp ink adjustment device, comprising:

[0007] Ink supply box;

[0008] An ink container is disposed inside the ink supply box, and the bottom of the ink container has an ink nozzle that protrudes through the bottom wall of the ink supply box;

[0009] An ink transfer assembly includes an ink supply roller, which is disposed below the ink nozzle in the direction of gravity, and the projection of the ink nozzle in the direction of gravity is located on the ink supply roller.

[0010] An adjustment component, located inside the ink supply box, is used to adjust the distance between the ink nozzle and the ink supply roller in the direction of gravity.

[0011] Optionally, the adjustment assembly includes a lifting frame and an electric cylinder. The lifting frame defines a placement slot, and the ink tank is detachably disposed in the placement slot. The electric cylinder is fixedly disposed on the bottom wall inside the ink supply box, and the moving end of the electric cylinder is connected to the bottom wall of the lifting frame.

[0012] In this design, the ink tank is detachably mounted in a slot on a lifting frame. An electric cylinder moves the lifting frame, which in turn moves the ink tank. As the ink tank moves, the distance between the ink nozzle and the ink supply roller changes, thus adjusting the distance between them. In low-temperature production environments where ink flow is poor, increasing the distance between the ink nozzle and the ink supply roller prevents ink buildup. Conversely, in high-temperature production environments where ink viscosity decreases and flowability significantly increases, decreasing the distance between the ink nozzle and the ink supply roller prevents ink splattering.

[0013] Optionally, the side wall of the ink supply box defines a limiting groove, and the lifting frame is provided with a limiting post, one end of which passes through the limiting groove.

[0014] Optionally, when the limiting post abuts against the bottom wall of the limiting groove, the distance between the ink nozzle and the ink supply roller is greater than 0.

[0015] This design limits the movement range of the lifting frame using a limiting post. One end of the limiting post penetrates the limiting groove, and the rigid contact between the groove wall and the post achieves stroke constraint. When the lifting frame moves downwards driven by the electric cylinder, the limiting post moves downwards synchronously along the limiting groove; when the bottom end of the limiting post contacts the bottom wall of the limiting groove, the lifting frame stops moving. At this point, the distance between the ink nozzle and the ink supply roller is greater than zero. The limiting post's contact with the bottom wall of the limiting groove prevents damage caused by direct contact between the ink nozzle and the ink supply roller.

[0016] Optionally, the ink supply box has scale lines on the outer walls on both sides of the limiting groove, and the end of the limiting post that protrudes from one end of the limiting groove is provided with an indicator needle that indicates the scale lines.

[0017] During the ink supply process, the distance between the ink nozzle and the ink supply roller is typically 0.05-0.2mm. This solution allows for a direct visual measurement of this distance using an indicator needle and scale lines. To ensure accuracy, the scale units in this solution are 0.01mm.

[0018] Optionally, the ink supply box is a constant temperature chamber.

[0019] In this solution, the ink in the ink tank, after being kept at a constant temperature within a thermostatic chamber, exhibits relatively stable flow properties. By controlling the ink tank temperature in conjunction with adjusting the distance between the ink nozzle and the ink supply roller, various combinations that meet ink supply requirements can be obtained, avoiding frequent adjustments to the distance between the ink nozzle and the ink supply roller due to ink temperature variations.

[0020] Optionally, the ink transfer assembly further includes an ink transfer roller and an ink distribution roller, wherein the ink transfer roller is in surface contact with the ink supply roller, and the ink distribution roller is in surface contact with the ink transfer roller.

[0021] In this scheme, the ink reaches the ink supply roller through the ink nozzle, the ink supply roller transfers the ink to the ink transfer roller, the ink transfer roller then supplies the ink to the ink distribution roller, and then the ink distribution roller supplies ink to the steel stamp.

[0022] Optionally, the ink-spreading roller has roller patterns on its circumferential surface.

[0023] To increase the surface friction of the ink transfer roller and prevent slippage during ink transfer between the two rollers when the ink transfer roller transfers ink to the ink distribution roller, this design incorporates roller grooves on the ink distribution roller. These grooves also enhance the surface adsorption capacity of the ink distribution roller, resulting in a more stable ink transfer and even ink distribution effect.

[0024] Compared with existing technologies, the beneficial effects achieved by this application are as follows: This application uses an electric cylinder to drive the lifting frame, which in turn moves the ink tank. As the ink tank moves, the distance between the ink nozzle and the ink supply roller changes, thereby adjusting the distance between them. In low-temperature production environments where ink flow is poor, increasing the distance between the ink nozzle and the ink supply roller prevents ink accumulation. In high-temperature production environments where ink viscosity decreases and flowability significantly increases, decreasing the distance between the ink nozzle and the ink supply roller prevents ink splashing. This application effectively improves the stability of ink supply, enhances the printing quality of cigarette labels, and increases production efficiency. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0031] The technical solutions in the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this disclosure / application, and not all embodiments. The following description of at least one exemplary embodiment is merely illustrative and is in no way intended to limit this application or its application or use.

[0032] Example 1

[0033] This embodiment describes a steel stamp ink adjustment device for a ZJ118 cigarette machine, referencing... Figure 1 and Figure 2 The ZJ118 cigarette machine stamp ink adjusting device in this embodiment includes: an ink supply box 1, an ink tank 2 inside the ink supply box 1, and an ink nozzle 21 at the bottom of the ink tank 2, through which the ink in the ink tank 2 flows out. The ink nozzle 21 passes through the bottom of the ink supply box 1. An ink transfer assembly is provided outside the ink tank, including an ink supply roller 31 located below the ink nozzle 21 in the direction of gravity, so that the ink flowing out through the ink nozzle 21 can fall onto the ink supply roller 31. Further, the projection of the ink nozzle 21 in the direction of gravity is located on the ink supply roller 31 so that the ink can fall completely onto the ink supply roller 31.

[0034] When ink is supplied to the ink supply roller 31 through the ink nozzle 21, the gap between the ink nozzle 21 and the ink supply roller 31 is an important technical parameter affecting the production process. In this embodiment, the distance between the ink nozzle 21 and the ink supply roller 31 in the direction of gravity is adjusted by the adjusting component 4. Specifically, the adjusting component 4 includes a lifting frame 41 and electric cylinders 42. The lifting frame 41 defines a placement groove 411, and the ink tank 2 is detachably disposed in the placement groove 411. Two electric cylinders 42 are disposed on the inner wall of the ink supply roller, and the moving ends of the two electric cylinders 42 are connected to the bottom wall of the lifting frame 41. By moving the lead screw of the electric cylinder 42, the lifting frame 41 can be moved, thereby moving the ink tank 2. As the ink tank 2 moves, the distance between the ink nozzle 21 and the ink supply roller 31 will change, thereby realizing the adjustment of the distance between the ink nozzle 21 and the ink supply roller 31. In a low-temperature production environment where the ink flow is poor, the ink accumulation between the ink nozzle 21 and the ink supply roller 31 can be avoided by increasing the distance between the ink nozzle 21 and the ink supply roller 31. In a high-temperature production environment, the viscosity of the ink decreases and its fluidity increases significantly. Ink splashing can be avoided by reducing the distance between the ink nozzle 21 and the ink supply roller 31.

[0035] In this embodiment, the ink supply box 1 is a constant temperature chamber. The ink in the ink box, after being kept at a constant temperature within the chamber, exhibits relatively stable flow properties. By controlling the ink box temperature and adjusting the distance between the ink nozzle 21 and the ink supply roller 31, various combinations that meet ink supply requirements can be obtained, avoiding frequent adjustments to the distance between the ink nozzle 21 and the ink supply roller 31 due to ink temperature changes. In one combination that meets ink supply requirements, the constant temperature chamber temperature is 25°C, and the distance between the ink nozzle 21 and the ink supply roller 31 is 0.1 mm.

[0036] Example 2:

[0037] Based on the same inventive concept as Embodiment 1, refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 In this embodiment, a limiting groove 11 is defined on the side wall of the ink supply box 1, and a limiting post 412 is provided on the lifting frame 41, with one end of the limiting post 412 passing through the limiting groove 11. When the limiting post 412 abuts against the bottom wall of the limiting groove 11, the distance between the ink nozzle 21 and the ink supply roller 31 is greater than 0. In this embodiment, the stroke constraint of the lifting frame 41 is achieved through the rigid contact between the groove wall and the post. When the lifting frame 41 is driven to move downward by the electric cylinder 42, the limiting post 412 moves downward synchronously along the limiting groove 11; when the bottom end of the limiting post 412 abuts against the bottom wall of the limiting groove 11, the lifting frame 41 stops moving, and at this time the distance between the ink nozzle 21 and the ink supply roller 31 is 0.05mm. The limiting post 412 can abut against the bottom wall of the limiting groove 11, avoiding damage caused by the ink nozzle 21 contacting the ink supply roller 31.

[0038] During the ink supply process, the distance between the ink nozzle 21 and the ink supply roller 31 is typically 0.05-0.2 mm. To more intuitively obtain the distance between the ink nozzle 21 and the ink supply roller 31, in this embodiment, the outer walls of the ink supply box 1 located on both sides of the limiting groove 11 have scale lines 12, with the scale unit of the scale lines 12 being 0.01 mm. The electric cylinder 42 used is a Limtec EMB electric cylinder 42, which has high precision and can meet the movement requirements under this scale unit. Furthermore, an indicator needle 413 is provided at the end of the limiting post 412 that protrudes from the limiting groove 11 to indicate the scale line 12. By indicating the scale line 12 through the indicator needle 413, the distance value between the ink nozzle 21 and the ink supply roller 31 can be intuitively obtained.

[0039] Example 3:

[0040] Based on the same inventive concept as Embodiment 1, refer to Figure 1 The ink transfer assembly in this embodiment further includes an ink transfer roller 32 and an ink distribution roller 33. The ink transfer roller 32 is in surface contact with the ink supply roller 31, and the ink distribution roller 33 is in surface contact with the ink transfer roller 32. Ink reaches the ink supply roller 31 through the ink nozzle 21, the ink supply roller 31 transfers the ink to the ink transfer roller 32, the ink transfer roller 32 then supplies the ink to the ink distribution roller 33, and then the ink distribution roller 33 supplies ink to the steel stamp.

[0041] When the ink transfer roller 32 transfers ink to the ink distribution roller 33, in order to increase the surface friction of the ink distribution roller 33 and prevent slippage between the ink transfer roller 32 and the ink distribution roller 33, this embodiment provides roller texture on the circumferential surface of the ink distribution roller 33. The roller texture can also increase the surface adsorption capacity of the ink distribution roller 33, thereby making the ink transfer and ink distribution effect of the ink distribution roller 33 more stable.

[0042] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of this application. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the technical principles of this disclosure / application, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the protection scope of this disclosure / application.
