Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of printing equipment technology, and more specifically, to a printing ink storage device. Background Technology

[0002] Common printing presses print by spraying ink. To ensure that the printing press can work when needed, a certain amount of ink needs to be prepared. However, ink is prone to clumping and deterioration, which affects the quality during use. Therefore, a more suitable storage device is needed.

[0003] Common ink storage equipment provides a light-proof and sealed storage environment, but this environment cannot completely prevent clumping and sedimentation. Over long periods of storage, some clumping inevitably occurs in the ink. To address this, common storage equipment includes a stirring mechanism to agitate the ink, breaking up the clumping and allowing it to re-integrate. However, common stirring mechanisms consist of only one stirring rod driving a set of blades, resulting in a relatively simple structure with limited stirring effect and lower efficiency. Furthermore, besides natural storage, temperature also affects the ink. Excessively low temperatures can disrupt the ink's structure, while excessively high temperatures can cause it to thicken, affecting its subsequent performance. Common storage equipment lacks effective control over the stable storage environment and is insufficient in its ability to cope with these conditions. Additionally, when discharging ink, some ink remains on the pipe wall as it flows out. If not cleaned promptly, this ink dries and may adhere to the pipe, leading to material accumulation and blockage of the discharge pipe over time, thus affecting equipment operation.

[0031] Please see Figure 1-5 A printing ink storage device includes a storage box 1, an agitator motor 2 at the upper end of the storage box 1, an agitator frame 3 rotatably connected inside the storage box 1, agitator rods 4 rotatably connected at both ends of the agitator frame 3, a transmission wheel 5 at the upper end of the agitator rods 4, a mating ring 6 at the upper end inside the storage box 1, the mating ring 6 mating with the transmission wheel 5, and a stirring blade 7 on the agitator rods 4.

[0032] The storage box 1 is provided with a water tank 8 at one end, a cooler 9 on the water tank 8, a water supply pump 10 at one end of the water tank 8, a cold water pipe 11 inside the storage box 1, one end of the cold water pipe 11 is connected to the water supply pump 10 and the other end is connected to the water tank 8, a heater 12 at one end of the storage box 1, and a heating rod 13 inside the storage box 1, which cooperates with the heater 12.

[0033] In this embodiment, the storage box 1 provides a structure for holding ink. When using ink, the stirring motor 2 can be controlled to work, causing the stirring motor 2 to drive the stirring frame 3 to rotate. The stirring frame 3 drives the stirring rod 4 to move. By moving the stirring rod 4 with the stirring blade 7, the stirring rod rotates inside the storage box 1 to perform stirring. When the stirring rod 4 moves, it will move through the transmission wheel 5. With the cooperation of the transmission wheel 5 and the mating ring 6, the transmission wheel 5 rotates, providing power to make the stirring rod 4 rotate, thereby driving the stirring blade 7 to rotate. The stirring blade 7 rotates around the inside of the storage box 1 and also rotates around the stirring rod 4 as the center, providing efficient stirring and treating the lumps in the ink.

[0034] More specifically, the required temperature control method is selected based on the specific usage stability. If the internal temperature is high, cooling water is stored in the water tank 8, the cooler 9 is started to cool the water in the water tank 8, and then the cooled water is fed into the cold water pipe 11 through the water supply pump 10, so that the cooling water flows along the cold water pipe 11 and flows in the storage box 1, exchanging heat with the ink to cool the ink to a suitable range. If the internal temperature of the storage box 1 is low, the heater 12 is started to heat the heating rod 13 to a certain extent. Under the transmission of the heating rod 13, the heat is transferred to the inside of the storage box 1, so that the temperature of the ink rises to a suitable range.

[0035] Please see Figures 1-3 As one implementation method for material discharge cleaning: a discharge hose 14 is provided at one end of the storage box 1, and telescopic push rods 15 are provided at both ends of the discharge hose 14. A pressure push rod 16 is provided at the movable end of the telescopic push rod 15, and a pressure block 17 is provided at the movable end of the pressure push rod 16. The pressure block 17 cooperates with the discharge hose 14.

[0036] Specifically, the ink in the storage box 1 is discharged through the discharge hose 14. After the ink inside is completely discharged, the pressure push rod 16 is controlled to work, so that the pressure push rod 16 pushes the pressure block 17 to move. The pressure blocks 17 at both ends cooperate to squeeze the discharge hose 14. Then, the telescopic push rod 15 is controlled to work, so that the pressure push rod 16 moves with the pressure block 17 to squeeze out the ink residue in the discharge hose 14.

[0037] Please see Figure 3 As a further embodiment of the pressure block: a pressure roller 18 is rotatably connected to the inner side of the pressure block 17.

[0038] Specifically, the pressure block 17 contacts the discharge hose 14 through the pressure roller 18. When moving, the pressure roller 18 rotates, thereby reducing wear on the discharge hose 14.

[0039] Please see Figure 1 As a further embodiment of the pressure push rod: a sliding plate 19 is slidably connected to the outer end of the storage box 1, a support plate 20 is provided between the sliding plates 19, and the pressure push rod 16 is provided on the support plate 20.

[0040] Specifically, the storage box 1 provides support through the connection of the sliding plate 19, thereby supporting the pressure push rod 16 with the support plate 20 and reducing the pressure of the pressure push rod 16 on the telescopic push rod 15.

[0041] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 3 As a further embodiment of the pressure block: the upper end of the pressure block 17 is provided with a sliding frame 21, and the support plate 20 is provided with a sliding hole 22.

[0042] Specifically, the sliding engagement between the sliding frame 21 and the sliding hole 22 reduces the supporting pressure on the pressure push rod 16, and ensures the stable movement of the pressure block 17 under the guidance of the sliding hole 22.

[0043] Please see Figure 3 As a further embodiment of the storage box: a filter screen 23 is provided at the connection between the storage box 1 and the discharge hose 14.

[0044] Specifically, when ink is discharged from storage box 1, filter screen 23 provides filtration to prevent clumping during discharge.

[0045] Please see Figure 3 As a further embodiment of the stirring blade: the stirring blade 7 includes a first blade 24 and a second blade 25, the first blade 24 and the second blade 25 are respectively disposed on the stirring rods 4 on both sides, and the first blade 24 and the second blade 25 are staggered at different heights.

[0046] Specifically, by coordinating the first blade 24 and the second blade 25 at different heights, the first blade 24 and the second blade 25 are staggered during stirring, thereby increasing the stirring range of the stirring blade 7 and improving the stirring effect.

[0047] Please see Figures 3-5 As a further embodiment of the cold water pipe: both the cold water pipe 11 and the heating rod 13 are arranged around the inside of the storage box 1.

[0048] Specifically, the volume of the cold water pipe 11 and the heating rod 13 is increased, thereby increasing the ability to control stability.

[0049] Please see Figures 1-3 As a further embodiment of the pressure roller: an auxiliary pressure block 26 is slidably connected on the storage box 1, and the auxiliary pressure block 26 cooperates with the discharge hose 14 and the pressure roller 18.

[0050] Specifically, when the pressure block 17 moves toward the discharge hose 14, it pushes the auxiliary pressure block 26 to apply pressure to the discharge hose 14, squeezing out the material at the root of the discharge hose 14.

[0051] In summary, during the use or operation of the overall equipment:

[0052] When using the equipment, the ink is placed in the storage box 1, and the discharge hose 14 is blocked by the sealing device to maintain a seal. When ink is needed, the equipment is connected to an external power source, which controls the agitator motor 2 to work. The agitator motor 2 drives the agitator frame 3 to rotate, and the agitator frame 3 drives the agitator rod 4 to move. The agitator rod 4 moves with the agitator blade 7 and rotates inside the storage box 1 to perform agitation. When the agitator rod 4 moves, it moves through the transmission wheel 5. With the cooperation of the transmission wheel 5 and the mating ring 6, the transmission wheel 5 rotates, providing power to rotate the agitator rod 4, thereby driving the agitator blade 7 to rotate. The agitator blade 7 rotates around the inside of the storage box 1 and also rotates around the agitator rod 4, enriching the agitation mode. By using the first blade 24 and the second blade 25 of different heights, the first blade 24 and the second blade 25 are staggered during agitation, thereby increasing the agitation range of the agitator blade 7, providing efficient agitation, improving the agitation effect, and treating the lumps in the ink.

[0053] When discharging ink, the ink in storage box 1 is discharged through discharge hose 14, and filter screen 23 provides filtration to prevent clumping during discharge, ensuring high quality of discharged ink. Any ink not discharged continues to be agitated by stirring blade 7. After the internal ink is completely discharged, the pressure push rod 16 is activated. First, the pressure push rod 16 pushes the pressure blocks 17 at both ends towards the discharge hose 14. The pressure blocks 17 contact the discharge hose 14 through pressure roller 18 and push the auxiliary pressure block 26 to apply pressure to the discharge hose 14, squeezing the material at the base of the discharge hose 14. 4. Then, control the telescopic push rod 15 to work, so that the pressure push rod 16 moves with the pressure block 17 to squeeze out the ink residue in the discharge hose 14. In addition, the pressure roller 18 will rotate during the discharge process, thereby reducing the wear on the discharge hose 14. Moreover, the pressure push rod 16 is supported by the sliding frame 21 and the support frame, reducing the pressure of the pressure push rod 16 on the telescopic push rod 15. The sliding cooperation between the sliding frame 21 and the sliding hole 22 reduces the support pressure of the pressure push rod 16, and the movement of the pressure block 17 is ensured to be stable under the guidance of the sliding hole 22.

[0054] The appropriate temperature control method is selected based on the specific usage. If the internal temperature is high, cooling water is stored in the water tank 8, and the cooler 9 is activated to cool the water in the water tank 8. Then, the cooled water is pumped into the cold water pipe 11 by the water supply pump 10, allowing the cooling water to flow along the cold water pipe 11 and flow inside the storage box 1, exchanging heat with the ink to cool the ink to a suitable range. If the internal temperature of the storage box 1 is low, the heater 12 is activated to heat the heating rod 13 to a certain extent. The heat is transferred to the inside of the storage box 1 by the heating rod 13, raising the temperature of the ink to a suitable range.

[0055] Of all the solutions mentioned above, those involving the connection between two components can be selected according to the actual situation, such as welding, bolt and nut connection, bolt or screw connection, or other known connection methods, which will not be elaborated here. For all the fixed connections mentioned above, welding is preferred. Although embodiments of this utility model have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of this utility model. The scope of this utility model is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
