[0024] Please see Figure 1-4This utility model provides a technical solution: an ink supply device for a brake hose printing machine, including a supply device side plate 1 and an ink supply device. The ink supply device includes a fixing frame 2, a mounting plate 3, a heater 4, a heat-conducting plate 15, a sponge frame 16, a sponge 17, and a handle 18. The fixing frame 2 is fixedly connected to the surface of the supply device side plate 1, the mounting plate 3 is bolted to the surface of the fixing frame 2, the heater 4 is fixedly connected to the surface of the supply device side plate 1, the heat-conducting plate 15 is fixedly connected to the surface of the fixing frame 2, and the heat-conducting plate 15 is electrically connected to the heater 4.

The sponge 17 is fixedly connected inside the sponge frame 16, and the handle 18 is fixedly connected to the surface of the mounting plate 3.

[0025] Furthermore, a scraper 5 is fixedly connected to the surface of the side plate 1 of the supply device, and a rotating shaft 19 is rotatably connected to the surface of the side plate 1 of the supply device. Multiple printing wheels 20 are fixedly sleeved on the outer surface of the rotating shaft 19, and each printing wheel 20 is located inside the scraper 5. A guide plate 6 is fixedly connected to the top of the side plate 1 of the supply device, and a sliding frame 7 is slidably connected to the surface of the guide plate 6. An ink storage box 11 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the sliding frame 7.
