Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to a material barrel base for an ink grinding machine. Background Technology
[0002] In the ink production process, ink-filled drums are typically transported to the feeding platform of an ink grinder, where a tilting mechanism pours the ink into the grinder for processing. Existing drum bases require a forklift's forks to insert into the bottom and lift them onto the feeding platform. However, these bases lack a guiding structure, making it difficult to accurately align the forks during insertion. This can lead to the drum base wobbling, tilting, or even tipping over during lifting due to the fork support point deviating from the center, posing a safety hazard. Furthermore, the lack of guidance forces forklift drivers to repeatedly adjust the fork position, causing inconvenience and impacting production efficiency. Therefore, to address these issues, a drum base with a guiding mechanism is urgently needed to improve handling stability and ease of operation. Utility Model Content
[0003] This invention provides a material hopper base for an ink grinding machine, which can effectively solve the above-mentioned problems.
[0004] This utility model is implemented as follows:
[0005] A hopper base for an ink grinder, comprising:
[0006] The base has multiple casters at its bottom;
[0007] A guide and positioning mechanism, located at the bottom of the base, is used to guide the insertion of the forklift forks and limit fork offset;
[0008] The guiding and positioning mechanism includes: at least one pair of guide fork plates extending along the fork insertion direction, with the front end extending out of the seat body;
[0009] A support assembly connects the guide fork plate to the bottom of the base body and is used to fix the position of the forks.
[0010] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0011] (1) The base can move flexibly through multiple casters at the bottom. At the same time, its guiding and positioning mechanism connects the guide fork plates to the bottom of the base with at least one pair of guide fork plates that extend along the fork insertion direction and extend out of the base body. This can effectively guide the forklift forks to be inserted accurately and limit fork offset, thereby significantly improving the accuracy and stability of fork docking, reducing adjustment time during operation, reducing the risk of damage to goods caused by fork offset, and improving handling efficiency. Meanwhile, the fixing effect of the support component further ensures that the forks are stable during handling, enhancing the reliability and safety of the overall structure.

[0024] Reference Figure 1-4 As shown, a material hopper base for an ink grinder includes...
[0025] The base 20 has multiple casters 202 at its bottom; the top of the base 20 has an annular limiting groove for fitting the bottom of the ink container.
[0026] The outer wall of the base 20 is provided with a connector 200 for fixing to the mounting frame 10 via a positioning screw 30.
[0027] The guide positioning mechanism 50 is located at the bottom of the base 20 and is used to guide the insertion of the forklift forks and limit the fork offset. The guide positioning mechanism 50 includes at least one pair of guide fork plates 512, which extend along the fork insertion direction and have their front ends protruding outside the base 20. The guide fork plates 512 are hinged to the support assembly through the adapter 514, so that the guide fork plates 512 can swing around the second bolt 510.
[0028] The guide positioning mechanism 50 is located at the rear of the bottom of the seat 20 (about 1 / 3 of the way down, not in the center). This is because it can form a triangular support with the top support rod 508, which improves the stability of the forklift when transporting the bucket 40 and the seat 20. At the same time, it forms a three-level stability structure of "front-middle-rear", which improves the anti-tipping ability by 40%. Furthermore, the load is transferred through the optimized path of the first support arm 504 and the second support arm 506 → top support rod 508 → seat 20, eliminating local stress concentration.
[0029] Furthermore, through an asymmetric mechanical layout, this design achieves a technological breakthrough that integrates stability, speed, safety, and cost-effectiveness, effectively solving the problems of poor stability, low efficiency, and high risk in traditional material handling.
[0030] The guide positioning mechanism 50 also includes a positioning post 520, which is fitted with an adjustable positioning collar 500 to accommodate forks of different sizes; an outer gasket ring 522 is integrally formed on the outer wall of the positioning post 520; the positioning collar 500 is locked and fixed to the positioning post 520 by a first bolt 502.
[0031] The front end of the guide fork plate 512 is provided with an inclined guide surface (not shown in the figure) to facilitate the sliding of the forks. The inclined guide surface is covered with a polyurethane coating (5mm thick) to reduce fork impact noise.
[0032] Furthermore, the positioning collar 500 incorporates a built-in rubber damping ring (Shore hardness 70A) to absorb high-frequency vibrations from the forks.
[0033] A support assembly connects the guide fork plate 512 to the bottom of the seat 20 and is used to fix the position of the forks. The support assembly includes: a first support arm 504 and a second support arm 506 arranged in a cross configuration; a second bolt 510 passing through the intersection of the first support arm 504 and the second support arm 506 and used to adjust the included angle between the first support arm 504 and the second support arm 506; an arc-shaped connecting plate 516 fixed to the end of the first support arm 504 and used to enhance the connection stability with the guide fork plate 512; and a third bolt 518 passing through the arc-shaped connecting plate 516 and the guide fork plate 512 and used to lock the relative positions of the two. The top of the first support arm 504 and the second support arm 506 are both provided with top support rods 508, which are rigidly connected to the bottom of the seat 20.
[0034] In one embodiment, the guide fork plate 512 is made of 6061-T6 aluminum alloy with a 0.3mm thick WC-Co coating (friction coefficient μ<0.1) laser-clad on the surface, and the top support rod 508 adopts a carbon fiber / magnesium alloy composite structure.
[0035] Working principle: The base 20 moves via the bottom casters 202, and its top annular limiting groove is used to fix the ink container. When it needs to be transported, the forklift forks slide in along the guide fork plate 512 with the inclined guide surface at the front end. The guide fork plate 512 is hinged to the support assembly via the adapter 514 and can swing around the second bolt 510. At the same time, the positioning collar 500 cooperates with the positioning post 520 with the outer washer ring 522 via the first bolt 502 to adapt to different fork sizes. The support assembly consists of the first support arm 504 and the second support arm 506 arranged in a cross configuration, and the included angle is adjusted by the second bolt 510. The top support rod 508 is rigidly connected to the bottom of the base 20, while the arc-shaped connecting plate 516 and the third bolt 518 enhance the connection stability of the guide fork plate 512. After being transported to the position, the connecting piece 200 on the outer wall of the base 20 is fixed to the mounting frame 10 via the positioning screw 30, completing the positioning and installation of the ink container.
[0036] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Various modifications and variations can be made to this utility model by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
