Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to an ink mixer. Background Technology

[0002] In ink production and mixing processes, the design of the mixer's cover plate plays a crucial role in ensuring ink quality. Currently, most ink mixers on the market employ a separate, combined cover plate structure, where two independent covers separately cover the opening of the material container. However, this design has the following significant drawbacks:

[0003] 1) Cover plate storage problem: When the mixer is not in use, the two separate cover plates cannot be fastened together and need to be placed separately or stacked randomly. During this process, the inner lower surface of the cover plate facing the material bucket is easily exposed, resulting in the adhesion of dust, oil or other debris.

[0004] 2) Contamination risk: When the cover plate with attached debris is used again, the contaminants may fall directly into the material bucket, contaminating the ink raw materials, affecting the uniformity, color and chemical stability of the ink, and in severe cases even causing batch products to be scrapped.

[0005] 3) Low operational efficiency: Separate cover plates need to be picked up, placed and managed separately, which increases the number of operation steps, and messy placement may cause the cover plates to be lost or damaged, further affecting production efficiency.

[0006] While some existing mixers use integrated covers, their opening and closing flexibility and maintenance convenience are poor, making them particularly unsuitable for large hoppers or scenarios requiring frequent feeding. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a new type of combined cover structure that can both avoid cover contamination and ensure ease of use. Utility Model Content

[0007] This invention provides an ink mixer that can effectively solve the above-mentioned problems.

[0008] This utility model is implemented as follows:

[0009] An ink mixer, comprising

[0010] A barrel body, and a stirring device positioned directly above the barrel body;

[0011] A cover assembly, including a first cover and a second cover, both of which cover the top opening of the barrel;

[0012] A snap-fit ​​structure, disposed at both ends of the first cover plate and the second cover plate, includes:

[0013] First fastener: a first metal seat fixed to the first cover plate, and a latch provided thereon;

[0014] Second fastener: A second metal seat fixed to the second cover plate, with side plates symmetrically arranged on both sides, and a shaft installed between the two side plates;

[0015] Linkage mechanism: a first lock seat and a second lock seat are hinged to the shaft. The first lock seat and the second lock seat are connected by a connecting plate, and a spring is provided between the connecting plate and the second metal seat to realize the elastic engagement of the first lock seat and the second lock seat with the latch.

[0016] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0017] (1) This utility model realizes the intelligent closing and sealing of the cover plate of the ink mixer through an innovative linkage fastening mechanism. When the operator closes the cover plate, the linkage mechanism on the second metal seat drives the double lock seat to rotate synchronously through the shaft, so that the connecting plate compression spring generates continuous elastic force, pushing the lock seat and the lock on the first metal seat to form a stable engagement. At the same time, the sealing strip on the edge of the cover plate is tightly fitted with the flange of the barrel. This mechanical linkage design not only realizes the one-click automatic locking of the cover plate and ensures the reliability of the seal, but also automatically adjusts the locking force through the elastic compensation function of the spring. This avoids the trouble of manual alignment required by traditional cover plates and solves the problem of easy contamination when storing separate cover plates. At the same time, the modular fastening structure facilitates maintenance and replacement, significantly improving the ease of operation and service life of the equipment, and providing an efficient and reliable solution for the pollution prevention needs in the ink production process.

[0033] The container 10 and the stirring device 40 are located directly above the container 10; the outer wall of the container 10 is provided with a handle 30 for lifting the container 10.

[0034] The cover assembly 20 includes a first cover 200 and a second cover 202, both of which cover the top opening of the barrel 10; wherein the first cover 200 and the second cover 202 adopt a honeycomb aluminum composite structure, with the upper layer being a 2mm aluminum alloy panel, the middle layer being a 10mm honeycomb aluminum core, and the lower layer being a 1mm stainless steel liner (reducing weight by 40% and without deformation).

[0035] The fastening structure, located at both ends of the first cover plate 200 and the second cover plate 202, includes: a first fastener: a first metal seat 50 fixed to the first cover plate 200, and a latch 500 disposed thereon; a second fastener: a second metal seat 60 fixed to the second cover plate 202, with side plates 600 symmetrically arranged on both sides, and a shaft 602 installed between the two side plates 600; and a linkage mechanism: a first lock seat 606 and a second lock seat 608 hinged to the shaft 602, the first lock seat 606 and the second lock seat 608 being connected by a connecting plate 610, and a spring 612 being provided between the connecting plate 610 and the second metal seat 60 to achieve elastic fastening between the first lock seat 606 and the second lock seat 608 and the latch 500.

[0036] Spring 612 is a compression spring, with its two ends fixed to connecting plate 610 and second metal seat 60 respectively, and is used to provide the reset force for first lock seat 606 and second lock seat 608.

[0037] The contact edges of the first cover plate 200 and the second cover plate 202 are provided with sealing strips to seal the gap between the first cover plate 200 and the second cover plate 202 when they are fastened together.

[0038] The top of the first cover plate 200 and the second cover plate 202 are both provided with handles 2000 for manually opening and closing the first cover plate 200 and the second cover plate 202; the first opening 2002 and the second opening 2020 formed at the contact end of the first cover plate 200 and the second cover plate 202 are used to avoid the stirring device 40.

[0039] The contact surfaces of the first lock seat 606 and the second lock seat 608 are provided with a wear-resistant coating to reduce frictional wear with the corresponding latch 500.

[0040] The first metal seat 50 and the second metal seat 60 are detachably connected to the first cover plate 200 and the second cover plate 202 by bolts, which facilitates maintenance or replacement.

[0041] The opening edge of the barrel 10 is provided with an annular flange, and the cover plate assembly 20 forms a nested seal with the flange when it is fastened.

[0042] The opening diameter of the barrel 10 is smaller than the outer diameter of the first cover plate 200 and the second cover plate 202, so that when the cover plate assembly 20 is fastened, it can cover the edge of the opening of the barrel 10 and prevent debris from entering.

[0043] Working principle: The opening of the barrel 10 is covered by the symmetrically arranged first cover plate 200 and second cover plate 202. When the operator presses the handles 2000 on both sides to close the cover plate, the second fastener fixed on the second cover plate 202 is automatically locked through the linkage mechanism. Specifically, the shaft 602 between the two side plates 600 drives the hinged first lock seat 606 and second lock seat 608 to rotate synchronously, so that the connecting plate 610 compresses the spring 612 to generate a restoring force. At the same time, the lock seat and the latch 500 on the first cover plate 200 form an elastic engagement. During this process, the sealing strip of the contact edge of the cover plate forms a double seal with the annular flange of the barrel 10, while the first opening 2002 and the second opening 2020 reserve movement space for the stirring device 40. When it is necessary to open, the handle 2000 is pulled in the opposite direction to release the stored energy of the spring 612, which drives the lock seat 606 / 608 to disengage from the latch 500 to unlock. The entire mechanism reduces frictional loss through a wear-resistant coating and achieves modular maintenance with the help of a detachable metal base 50 / 60, ultimately achieving the technical effects of being pollution-proof, easy to operate, and durable and reliable.

[0044] 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.
