Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model specifically relates to a multifunctional ink bucket lid. Background Technology

[0002] In the process of using ink, the ink absorption step is indispensable. Ink raw materials are added to the ink container, stirred evenly, and then the ink is dispensed. However, because the ink container needs to be open during ink stirring, dust often gets intruded during the ink absorption operation. Once dust gets into the ink, it not only contaminates the ink, affecting its quality and performance, but may also cause defects in the printing process, reduce the quality of the final printed product, and potentially cause clogging of the printing equipment, increasing maintenance costs and repair frequency, bringing many inconveniences to users.

[0003] To address the aforementioned pain points, a multi-functional dustproof ink container lid has been developed. This lid, through innovative design, combines a unique sealing structure with a highly efficient filtration mechanism, ensuring smooth ink absorption while effectively preventing external dust from entering the ink container. The lid fits snugly against the ink container opening, forming a robust dust barrier that maximizes dust prevention without interfering with normal ink absorption.

[0004] This utility model was developed precisely because of the aforementioned shortcomings. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology and provide a multifunctional ink bucket cap that is easy to operate and has good protective effect.

[0006] This utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0007] This utility model provides a multifunctional ink bucket lid, including a lid body for covering the mouth of an ink bucket. The lid body includes a mounting plate and a movable plate that are rotatably connected, so that the movable plate can be opened and closed relative to the mounting plate. A stirring rod for stirring ink is placed on the movable plate. When the movable plate is opened, the stirring rod can be inserted into the ink bucket for stirring. The mounting plate is provided with a connecting structure for connecting to the ink bucket. The mounting plate is also provided with a first conveying hole and a second conveying hole for inserting an ink conveying pipe.

[0008] As described above, the multifunctional ink barrel lid has a lid body that is a circular structure adapted to the mouth of the ink barrel, and the mounting plate and movable plate are semicircular or arc-shaped segments formed by dividing a circle.

[0009] As described above, the multifunctional ink barrel lid has a connecting structure including a first limiting post and two second limiting posts. The first limiting post is located between the two second limiting posts. When the mounting plate is closed onto the ink barrel, one of the first limiting post and the second limiting post is located inside the ink barrel, and the other is located outside the ink barrel.

[0010] As described above, the multi-functional ink tank cap has a first connecting seat and a second connecting seat connected to the mounting plate. The first connecting seat has a first conveying hole, and the second connecting seat has a second conveying hole. The first connecting seat also has a first threaded mounting hole that communicates with the first conveying hole and allows a fastener to be inserted to fix the ink conveying tube. The second connecting seat also has a second threaded mounting hole that communicates with the second conveying hole and allows a fastener to be inserted to fix the ink conveying tube.

[0011] As described above, the multi-functional ink bucket lid has a first handle connected to the movable plate for manual operation to open the movable plate.

[0012] As described above, the multi-functional ink barrel lid has a second handle attached to the mounting plate for manual operation to lift the entire lid body.

[0013] As described above, the multifunctional ink barrel lid has a mating recess on the movable plate that opens to all sides. When the movable plate is closed, the stirring rod is placed through the mating recess.

[0014] As described above, the multifunctional ink barrel cap has a sealing seat connected to the stirring rod. When the stirring rod is placed through the mating recess, the sealing seat presses against the upper side of the movable plate and closes the mating recess, allowing the stirring rod to be placed on the movable plate.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages:

[0016] 1. Dustproof protection: Through a unique sealing design that fits tightly against the ink container opening, a robust dustproof barrier is formed, effectively preventing external dust from entering the ink container, ensuring ink purity, and avoiding printing defects and equipment blockage caused by dust contamination.

[0017] 2. Extending ink lifespan and keeping ink clean and uncontaminated helps extend the ink's lifespan and reduces the need for frequent replacements due to ink deterioration or contamination, thereby lowering usage costs.

[0018] 3. Improve printing quality stability. By preventing dust and other impurities from mixing into the ink, the consistency and purity of the ink during the printing process are ensured, which helps maintain high-quality printing results and reduces the defect rate caused by ink quality problems.

[0025] The utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings:

[0026] The orientations described in this utility model specification, such as "up," "down," "left," "right," "front," and "back," are based on the orientations in the accompanying drawings and are intended to facilitate the description of the relationships between the various components. They do not indicate the unique or absolute positional relationships between the various components, but are merely one embodiment of the utility model and are not a limitation on its implementation.

[0027] This utility model introduces a multifunctional ink bucket lid, such as... Figures 1 to 4As shown. This structure includes a lid body 2 for sealing the mouth of the ink container 1. The lid body 2 consists of a mounting plate 21 and a movable plate 22, which are rotatably connected by a hinge; alternatively, one can be provided with a pivot and the other with a pivot hole for rotatable connection. This design allows the movable plate 22 to be opened or closed relative to the mounting plate 21. A stirring rod 3 for stirring the ink is placed on the movable plate 22. When the movable plate 22 is opened, the mouth of the ink container 1 is exposed, at which point the stirring rod 3 can be inserted into the ink container for stirring. The mounting plate 21 is equipped with a connection structure 23 connected to the ink container 1, and also has a first conveying hole 24 and a second conveying hole 25, for inserting an ink conveying pipe and a return input pipe, respectively.

[0028] The first delivery hole 24 is an ink delivery hole, used to deliver ink from an ink storage device (such as an ink cartridge or ink tank) to the printhead or other components that require ink. Its functions include: precise ink supply, ensuring the printhead receives a stable and appropriate amount of ink to guarantee print quality; preventing clogging, reducing the risk of printhead blockage by minimizing impurities or air bubbles in the ink entering the printhead through a reasonable hole diameter design and flow channel layout; and controlling flow rate, adjusting the size of the delivery hole or using other devices (such as pumps or valves) to control the ink delivery speed and flow rate to meet the needs of different printing speeds and modes. The diameter of the ink delivery hole needs to be determined based on the ink viscosity, particle size, and the printing precision of the equipment. Generally, the diameter should not be too large, otherwise it may lead to excessive ink flow or even ink leakage; nor should it be too small, otherwise it will increase the resistance to ink delivery and affect the printing speed. Furthermore, the component where the ink delivery hole is located, namely the first connecting seat 26, which is tubular in shape, usually needs to be made of corrosion-resistant and wear-resistant materials to prevent chemical erosion or physical wear of the delivery hole by the ink, thereby ensuring its long-term stable operation. The second conveying port 25 is an ink return inlet, used to reintroduce unused ink or ink recovered from the printhead into the ink circulation system or storage device. Its main functions include: recycling, collecting ink that was not ejected from the printhead or returned due to pressure changes to avoid waste and maintain ink concentration and performance stability; preventing drying, as the return system allows for timely ink recovery from the printhead, reducing ink residence time and the likelihood of ink drying and clumping, thus extending printhead lifespan; and maintaining pressure balance, as the return inlet in the ink circulation system regulates ink pressure. When the ink delivery pressure is too high, some ink can flow back through the return inlet, maintaining pressure balance within the system. Furthermore, the orifice diameter of the return inlet needs to be designed according to the ink return flow rate, ensuring smooth ink recovery without causing excessive pressure fluctuations in the ink delivery system due to an excessively large orifice diameter. The ink delivery pipe and the return inlet work together in the ink circulation system. The ink delivery port is responsible for delivering ink to where it is needed, while the ink return input port is responsible for recycling excess or unused ink, thus forming a complete ink circulation process.

[0029] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, the lid body 2 is designed as a circular structure to fit the opening of the ink container 1, and its size is slightly larger than the opening of the ink container 1. The mounting plate 21 and the movable plate 22 are divided into semicircles by a circle, but they can also be designed into other shapes, such as an arc.

[0030] To ensure that the mounting plate 21 is stably placed or connected to the ink tank 1, and that the stability of the mounting plate 21 is not affected when the movable plate 22 is opened or closed, such as Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the connecting structure 23 includes a first limiting post 231 and two second limiting posts 232, wherein the first limiting post 231 is located between the two second limiting posts 232. In this example, when the mounting plate 21 is closed onto the ink tank 1, the first limiting post 231 is located on the outside of the ink tank 1, while the second limiting posts 232 are located on the inside of the ink tank 1, thereby ensuring that the two limiting posts are in close contact with the inside and outside of the ink tank 1, preventing the lid body 2 from rotating. Another possible design is that the two second limiting posts 232 are located on the outside of the ink tank 1, while the first limiting post 231 is located on the inside of the ink tank 1.

[0031] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, a first connecting seat 26 and a second connecting seat 27 are connected to the mounting plate 21. The first connecting seat 26 has a first conveying hole 24, while the second connecting seat 27 has a second conveying hole 25. Furthermore, the first connecting seat 26 also has a first threaded mounting hole 261 communicating with the first conveying hole 24, which can be used to insert fasteners to secure the ink conveying tube; similarly, the second connecting seat 27 has a second threaded mounting hole 271 communicating with the second conveying hole 25, which can also be used to insert fasteners to secure the ink conveying tube. These threaded mounting holes can accommodate fasteners such as mounting screws. When the ink conveying tube is inserted into the conveying hole, tightening the fasteners secures the tube, thus fixing it in place.

[0032] Preferably, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a first handle 28 is connected to the movable plate 22 for manual operation to open the movable plate 22. Similarly, a second handle 29 is also connected to the mounting plate 21 for manual operation to lift the entire lid body 2.

[0033] Furthermore, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the movable plate 22 has a mating recess 221 with open sides. When the movable plate 22 is closed, the stirring rod 3 is placed through this recess. Specifically, a capping seat 31 is connected to the stirring rod 3. When the stirring rod 3 is placed through the mating recess 221, the capping seat 31 presses against the upper side of the movable plate 22 and closes the mating recess 221, thereby allowing the stirring rod 3 to be placed stably on the movable plate 22.

[0034] The above descriptions are merely embodiments of this utility model, and common knowledge regarding specific structures and characteristics is not elaborated upon here. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the structure of this utility model, and these should also be considered within the scope of protection of this utility model. These modifications will not affect the effectiveness of the implementation of this utility model or the practicality of the patent. The scope of protection claimed in this application shall be determined by the content of its claims, and the specific embodiments described in the specification can be used to interpret the content of the claims.
