Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of paint mixing equipment, and in particular to a paint bucket stirring slurry cover and paint mixing equipment. Background Technology
[0002] In applications such as automotive refinish paint, industrial coating production lines, and manual paint mixing, paint mixing machines are commonly used equipment. The color paste is transferred from the paint raw material bucket into the liquid container of the paint dispensing device, which is then placed on the paint mixing machine or fully automatic color mixing machine. The machine drives the blades to rotate, thereby achieving the mixing of the paint in the liquid container.
[0003] The paint mixing slurry cap, serving as a lid for liquid containers such as paint mixing buckets and mixing tanks, plays a crucial role in the paint mixing process. The cap provides a seal to prevent evaporation and requires the use of a mixer to prevent pigment sedimentation. It also features a paint outlet for manual mixing. Traditional slurry caps are attached to the original container, making automatic paint mixing with a color mixing machine impossible. Using a color mixing machine for automatic mixing requires adding the paint to a dedicated container, complicating the mixing process and preventing direct application to automatic mixing equipment.
[0004] Currently, the paint mixing slurry cap is installed on the matching liquid container and has a paddle at the bottom. The rotating shaft that drives the paddle is directly connected to the paddle, so that the axis of the rotating shaft is coaxial with the axis of rotation of the paddle. The slurry cap is equipped with a lock, wrench, clamping device, etc., which makes the structure complex. The rotating shaft is prone to interference with other components, resulting in a non-compact layout and an increase in the overall size of the slurry cap, which cannot meet the application requirements of existing color mixing mixers. Utility Model Content
[0005] In view of this, the purpose of this application is to provide a paint bucket stirring slurry cover and a paint mixing and stirring device to solve the problem that the existing paint bucket stirring slurry cover has a rotating shaft and a blade that are coaxially arranged, which easily causes interference, is not conducive to the layout of other components on the slurry cover, and results in a large slurry cover that cannot meet the application requirements of existing color mixing and stirring machines.
[0006] The first aspect of this utility model provides a stirring slurry cover for a paint tank, wherein the stirring slurry cover for the paint tank includes:
[0007] The main body of the slurry cover has an installation chamber inside;
[0008] The first transmission component has one end that can extend into the paint bucket and is connected to the stirring blade, and the other end of the first transmission component is provided with a first gear.
[0009] The second transmission component is not coaxially arranged with the first transmission component. One end of the second transmission component is provided with a second gear that meshes with the first gear. The first gear and the second gear are arranged in the mounting cavity. The other end of the second transmission component is formed as a driving end that extends out of the outside of the paddle cover body. The driving end is connected to a power device that drives the stirring blade to rotate.
[0010] Preferably, the driving end is a bevel gear.
[0011] Preferably, the first gear and the second gear are cylindrical gears.
[0012] Preferably, the axis of the first transmission component is collinear with the central axis of the paint bucket.
[0013] Preferably, the first transmission component and the second transmission component are arranged in parallel to each other, and the slurry cover body is provided with a slurry outlet.
[0014] Preferably, it further includes:
[0015] A fluid pipeline is installed on the main body of the slurry cover. One end of the fluid pipeline extends into the paint bucket, and the other end is connected to the outside of the paint bucket.
[0016] Preferably, the first transmission member is formed as a bushing structure, so that the interior of the first transmission member is hollow, and the fluid pipeline passes through the interior of the first transmission member.
[0017] Preferably, it further includes:
[0018] The first sealing element is sandwiched between the outer wall of the first transmission element and the cavity wall of the mounting chamber.
[0019] Preferably, it further includes:
[0020] The second sealing element is sandwiched between the inner wall of the first transmission element and the outer wall of the fluid pipeline;
[0021] The third sealing element is sandwiched between the fluid pipeline and the cavity wall of the mounting chamber.
[0022] The second aspect of this utility model provides a paint mixing and stirring device, including the paint bucket stirring slurry cover described in any of the above technical solutions.
[0023] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0024] This utility model discloses a paint bucket stirring paddle cover. The first and second transmission components are non-coaxial, driven by a first gear and a second gear. The first transmission component, which drives the stirring blade, and its drive end, connected to a power unit, are radially spaced apart. The other end of the second transmission component extends beyond the cover body and is connected to the power unit that drives the stirring blade. This allows for automatic paint mixing within the paint bucket, driven by the power unit. While satisfying the stirring blade's need for mixing the paint paste, the second transmission component can be positioned to accommodate the layout of other components on the cover body. This avoids interference from the second transmission component and reduces the size of the paint bucket stirring paddle cover, meeting the application requirements of color mixing equipment. Furthermore, the first and second gears are located within the mounting cavity of the cover body, protecting their meshing connection and ensuring effective transmission between the first and second transmission components, thus extending their service life.

[0041] According to a first aspect of the present invention, a paint bucket stirring slurry cover is provided, which includes a slurry cover body 10, a first transmission component 20 and a second transmission component 30.
[0042] The specific structure of the paint bucket stirring slurry cover according to this embodiment, as described above, will be described below.
[0043] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 As shown, the paint bucket 1 is formed as a container with an opening at the top, and the slurry cap body 10 is used to install on the paint bucket 1, thereby closing the opening at the top of the paint bucket 1. The interior of the slurry cap body 10 has an installation chamber 11, which can be a groove structure.
[0044] Furthermore, in this embodiment, as Figure 2 As shown, one end of the first transmission component 20 can extend into the paint bucket 1 and be connected to the stirring blade 60. The other end of the first transmission component 20 is provided with a first gear 21. The rotation axis of the first gear 21 is coaxial with the axis of the first transmission component 20. The first gear 21 can be integrally formed with the first transmission component 20, or the first gear 21 can be keyed to the first transmission component 20.
[0045] like Figure 2 As shown, one end of the second transmission member 30 is provided with a second gear 31 that meshes with the first gear 21. The second gear 31 can be integrally formed with the second transmission member 30, or the second gear 31 can be keyed to the second transmission member 30. The first gear 21 and the second gear 31 are disposed in the mounting chamber 11, which can protect the meshing connection of the first gear 21 and the second gear 31, ensure effective transmission of the first transmission member 20 and the second transmission member 30, and improve service life.
[0046] More specifically, in this embodiment, as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the other end of the second transmission member 30 is formed as a drive end 32 extending out of the body 10 of the slurry cover. The drive end 32 is connected to a power device that drives the stirring blade 60 to rotate. The power device is a rotary motor or rotary cylinder or other mechanism that can drive the second transmission member 30 to rotate.
[0047] In this embodiment, as Figure 2 As shown, the stirring blade 60 and the first gear 21 are located at both ends of the first transmission member 20 in the axial direction; the drive end 32 and the second gear 31 are located at both ends of the second transmission member 30 in the axial direction.
[0048] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the second transmission component 30 is not coaxial with the first transmission component 20, so that the first transmission component 20, which drives the stirring blade 60 to rotate, and the drive end 32 connected to the power device are arranged radially spaced apart in the first transmission component 20 or the second transmission component 30. In this way, automatic paint mixing can be achieved in the paint tank 1 originally installed in the paint cover by the drive of the power device. Moreover, while satisfying the stirring blade 60 to stir the paint paste, the second transmission component 30 can be set in a position that meets the layout requirements of other components on the paint cover body 10. In this way, the volume of the stirring blade cover of the paint tank 1 is reduced while avoiding interference from the second transmission component 30, thus meeting the application requirements of the color mixing equipment.
[0049] Preferably, the axes of the first transmission member 20 and the second transmission member 30 are parallel to each other, and the axis of the first transmission member 20 extends toward the inside of the paint bucket 1, while the axis of the second transmission member 30 extends toward the outside of the paint bucket 1.
[0050] In one alternative embodiment, the power unit is connected to the output shaft via a coupling, and the output shaft is connected to the drive end 32, thereby enabling power to be transmitted from the drive end 32 to the second gear 31 via the second transmission member 30. Through the meshing of the second gear 31 and the first gear 21, the power is transmitted to the stirring blade 60 via the first transmission member 20, so as to realize the rotation of the stirring blade 60 in the paint tank 1, thus realizing the stirring operation.
[0051] In a preferred embodiment, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the drive end 32 is a bevel gear, so that a single power unit can be used to drive the drive end 32 in multiple paint bucket stirring covers to rotate. Specifically, multiple paint buckets 1 equipped with paint bucket stirring covers are arranged in a straight line. The extension direction of the output shaft connected to the power unit is the same as the arrangement direction of the multiple paint buckets 1. Multiple bevel gears are installed on the output shaft and spaced apart from each other. The bevel gears on the output shaft mesh with the drive end 32. This satisfies the requirement of timed stirring after the paint buckets 1 containing color paste are placed on the material rack. At the same time, only one power unit is needed to stir the color paste in multiple paint buckets 1, saving costs.
[0052] In this embodiment, as Figure 2 As shown, the first gear 21 and the second gear 31 are two meshing cylindrical gears. Specifically, the first gear 21 and the second gear 31 can both be spur gears or both can be helical gears.
[0053] In a preferred embodiment, such as Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the axis of the first transmission component 20 is collinear with the central axis of the paint tank 1, thus ensuring that the stirring blade 60 is positioned in the middle of the paint tank 1, thereby improving the uniformity of the stirred paint paste.
[0054] Furthermore, in this embodiment, as Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the first transmission component 20 and the second transmission component 30 are arranged in parallel to each other. The slurry cover body 10 is provided with a slurry outlet 12. When the slurry cover body 10 is opened, the slurry outlet 12 can connect the paint bucket 1 with the outside.
[0055] Optionally, such as Figure 2 As shown, the second transmission member 30 is disposed on the side of the first transmission member 20 away from the slurry outlet 12, that is, the second transmission member 30 and the slurry outlet 12 are disposed at opposite ends of the first transmission member 20 in the radial direction. In other alternative embodiments, the second transmission member 30 is disposed between the first transmission member 20 and the slurry outlet 12, or other arrangements that can satisfy the opening of the slurry outlet 12 and the transmission requirements of the second transmission member 30 and the first transmission member 20.
[0056] Furthermore, in this embodiment, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the paint tank stirring slurry cover also includes a fluid pipe 40 installed on the slurry cover body 10. The fluid pipe 40 is formed into a curved tubular structure. Specifically, one end of the fluid pipe 40 extends into the paint tank 1, and the other end is connected to the outside of the paint tank 1. In this way, under the action of the pump, the paint slurry in the paint tank 1 can be pumped out to the outside of the paint tank 1.
[0057] Furthermore, in this embodiment, as Figures 2 to 4 As shown, the first transmission component 20 is formed as a bushing structure, making the interior of the first transmission component 20 hollow. The fluid pipeline 40 passes through the interior of the first transmission component 20. The meshing connection of the first gear 21 and the second gear 31 is located below the fluid pipeline 40. This satisfies the layout requirements of the fluid pipeline 40 in the paint bucket stirring slurry cover, ensuring that the paint slurry is smoothly transported in the fluid pipeline, while not affecting the first transmission component 20 driving the stirring blade 60 to rotate, thus meeting the stirring requirements.
[0058] Furthermore, in this embodiment, as Figures 2 to 4 As shown, the paint bucket stirring slurry cover also includes a first sealing element 51. The first sealing element 51 can be an annular sealing ring. The first sealing element 51 is sandwiched between the outer wall of the first transmission member 20 and the cavity wall of the mounting chamber 11, thus preventing the paint slurry in the paint bucket 1 from splashing into the mounting chamber 11 during stirring. Optionally, an annular groove is provided on the cavity wall of the mounting chamber 11, so that part of the first sealing element 51 is embedded in the groove, and part of the first sealing element 51 extends out of the groove to abut against the outer wall of the first transmission member 20, thereby achieving a sealed connection between the end of the first transmission member 20 facing the inside of the paint bucket 1 and the mounting chamber 11.
[0059] Preferably, such as Figure 2As shown, the first seal 51 is located below the meshing point of the first gear 21 and the second gear 31, thus effectively preventing the pigment from entering the installation chamber 11 and causing corrosion or contamination to the first transmission component 20 and the second transmission component 30.
[0060] Preferably, such as Figure 2 As shown, multiple first seals 51 are provided, and the multiple first seals 51 are arranged at intervals along the axial direction of the first transmission member 20, thereby improving the sealing effect.
[0061] In a preferred embodiment, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the paint tank stirring slurry cover also includes a second sealing element 52 and a third sealing element 53. Both the second sealing element 52 and the third sealing element 53 can be annular sealing rings. Specifically, the second sealing element 52 is sandwiched between the inner wall of the first transmission element 20 and the outer wall of the fluid pipeline 40, thus preventing the paint slurry from entering the mounting chamber 11 from the inside of the first transmission element 20 of the bushing structure. The third sealing element 53 is sandwiched between the fluid pipeline 40 and the cavity wall of the mounting chamber 11, thus preventing the paint slurry from entering the mounting chamber 11 through the fluid pipeline 40. This protects the portions of the first transmission element 20 and the second transmission element 30 located in the mounting chamber 11, ensuring reliable power transmission between the first transmission element 20 and the second transmission element 30.
[0062] Optionally, the inner wall of the first transmission member 20 is provided with a groove for assembling the second seal 52, and the top of the fluid pipeline 40 is provided with a groove for assembling the third seal 53.
[0063] According to the paint bucket stirring paddle cover of this utility model, the first and second transmission components are not coaxially arranged. The first and second transmission components are driven by a first gear and a second gear, such that the first transmission component that drives the stirring blade and the drive end connected to the power device are radially spaced apart. The other end of the second transmission component is formed as a drive end extending outside the body of the paddle cover. The drive end is connected to the power device that drives the stirring blade to rotate. In this way, automatic paint mixing can be achieved in the paint bucket originally installed in the paddle cover through the drive of the power device. Moreover, while satisfying the stirring of the paint slurry by the stirring blade, the second transmission component can be placed in a position that meets the layout requirements of other components on the paddle cover body. This avoids interference from the second transmission component, reduces the volume of the paint bucket stirring paddle cover, facilitates the installation of the power device, and allows one power device to drive the drive ends of multiple paint bucket stirring paddle covers to rotate simultaneously, saving costs. In addition, the first gear and the second gear are located in the mounting cavity of the paddle cover body, which also protects the meshing connection of the first gear and the second gear, ensures effective transmission of the first and second transmission components, and improves service life.
[0064] The second aspect of this utility model provides a paint mixing device, which includes the paint bucket mixing slurry cover as described above, and thus has all the beneficial effects of the paint bucket mixing slurry cover, which will not be repeated here.
[0065] Finally, it should be noted that the above-described embodiments are merely specific implementations of this application, used to illustrate the technical solutions of this application, and not to limit them.
