Detailed Implementation
[0021] The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments, but this is not intended to limit the present invention.
[0022] Example 1: Water-based ink recycling and reuse device, please refer to Figures 1-5 The system includes a recycling tank 1, a feed hopper 2, a filter cotton 3, a handle 4, a water pump 7, a connecting pipe 8, and a discharge pipe 9. The feed hopper 2 is threaded on the top left side of the recycling tank 1. The filter cotton 3 is installed in the lower part of the feed hopper 2. The handle 4 is fixedly connected to the outside of the feed hopper 2. The water pump 7 is installed on the top right side of the recycling tank 1. The connecting pipe 8 is connected to the right side of the water pump 7. The lower end of the connecting pipe 8 is connected to the recycling tank 1. The discharge pipe 9 is connected to the top of the water pump 7. The motor 5 is installed in the middle of the top of the recycling tank 1. The stirring rod 6 is rotatably installed inside the recycling tank 1. The output shaft of the motor 5 is connected to the stirring rod 6 through a coupling. The protective shell 19 is snapped on the top right side of the recycling tank 1. The water pump 7 is located inside the protective shell 19 to protect the water pump 7 from external interference. Two anti-slip sleeves 20 are fitted on the handle 4 to increase the friction between the hands and prevent the hands from slipping when disassembling the feed hopper 2.
[0023] When the device is needed, the used water-based ink is poured into the recycling tank 1 through the feed tank 2. The ink is first filtered through the filter cotton 3 to remove impurities such as paper scraps, suspended particles, fibers, and dust, ensuring the cleanliness of the ink entering the recycling tank 1. After the filtered ink enters the recycling tank 1, the motor 5 is started. The output shaft of the motor 5 rotates to drive the stirring rod 6 to rotate, continuously stirring the ink in the recycling tank 1 to prevent pigment sedimentation, maintain the uniformity of the ink, and effectively reduce the occurrence of skinning, thereby improving the recycling quality. After the processing is completed, the water pump 7 is started. The water pump 7 draws the filtered ink from the bottom of the recycling tank 1 through the connecting pipe 8, pressurizes it, and then transports it to external equipment through the discharge pipe 9 for recycling, thereby reducing production costs.
[0024] Example 2: Based on Example 1, please refer to... Figure 1 and Figure 4 A fixing plate 10 is fixedly connected to the front side of the recycling tank 1. Two controllers 11 are installed on the front side of the fixing plate 10. A thermostatic tube 12 is connected to the rear side of the two controllers 11. The thermostatic tube 12 is wound inside the recycling tank 1. A temperature monitor 13 is installed on the front side of the fixing plate 10. The temperature monitor 13 is electrically connected to the controllers 11.
[0025] When the filtered ink enters the recycling tank 1, the temperature monitor 13 is activated. The temperature monitor 13 monitors the ink temperature in real time and feeds the data back to the controller 11. The controller 11 automatically adjusts the heating or cooling function of the thermostat tube 12 according to the real-time temperature data, so that the thermostat tube 12 regulates the temperature of the entire tank, ensuring that the ink is maintained within a suitable temperature range, avoiding low-temperature condensation or high-temperature volatilization, thereby ensuring the stability of the ink.
[0026] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 5 The top of the recycling tank 1 is fitted with two clamping plates 15, which together fix a support tank 14. A first filter plate 16 is clamped inside the support tank 14, and a second filter plate 17 is embedded at the bottom of the support tank 14. A pull rod 18 is fixedly connected between the support tank 14 and the clamping plates 15. The clamping plates 15 and the pull rod 18 facilitate the disassembly and cleaning of the support tank 14, thus maintaining the filtration effect.
[0027] Before entering the feed tank 2, the used water-based ink first enters the support tank 14. The first filter plate 16 filters out larger impurities in the ink. Then, the ink undergoes secondary filtration through the second filter plate 17 to further remove fine impurities, thereby improving the cleanliness of the ink.
[0028] Although this disclosure has been described with respect to only a limited number of embodiments, those skilled in the art who benefit from this disclosure will understand that various other embodiments can be devised without departing from the scope of this invention. Therefore, the scope of this invention should be limited only by the appended claims.
