Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of ink storage technology, and in particular to an ink storage device. Background Technology

[0002] In modern printing, packaging and related industrial production fields, ink is an important raw material, and its storage is crucial. The performance of ink storage devices directly affects the quality stability of ink and the smoothness of subsequent production processes. A well-designed ink storage device must not only ensure that the ink does not deteriorate or precipitate during storage, but also facilitate the transportation, management and maintenance of ink to meet the needs of efficient production.

[0003] Currently, common ink storage devices mainly consist of a tank, an inlet, an outlet, and a simple level display component. The technical principle is based on the tank providing storage space, injecting ink through the inlet, discharging ink through the outlet, and the level display component helping operators understand the amount of ink in the tank. This relatively basic design aims to meet the basic functions of ink storage and retrieval.

[0004] However, existing ink storage devices have a significant problem: ink is prone to sedimentation during storage. Due to the lack of an effective stirring mechanism, pigments, fillers, and other components in the ink will gradually sink under gravity, resulting in uneven ink composition in the upper and lower parts of the tank. This not only affects the printing quality of the ink but also causes blockage of the discharge port, affecting the normal production process. Therefore, an ink storage device is proposed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] To overcome the above shortcomings, this utility model provides an ink storage device, which aims to improve the problem that existing ink storage devices lack an effective stirring mechanism, resulting in ink sedimentation and uneven composition, which in turn affects printing quality and production process.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] An ink storage device includes a storage tank, a support frame fixedly connected to the bottom of the storage tank, casters provided at the bottom of the support frame, a push handle fixedly connected to the outer wall of the storage tank, a feed pipe fixedly connected to the inside of the storage tank, a discharge valve fixedly connected to the inside of the storage tank, a top cover fixedly connected to the top of the storage tank, and a stirring assembly provided inside the storage tank for stirring the ink.

[0008] The stirring assembly includes a rotating shaft fixedly connected inside the top cover. A motor is fixedly connected to the top of the rotating shaft, and the output end of the motor is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft. A connecting rod is fixedly connected to one side of the rotating shaft, and a fixing rod is fixedly connected to one end of the rotating shaft. A stirring shaft is slidably connected to the outer wall of the fixing rod. A spring is provided on the outer wall of the fixing rod, with one end fixedly connected to one side of the rotating shaft and the other end fixedly connected to the top of the stirring shaft. Multiple stirring blades are fixedly connected to the outer wall of the stirring shaft.

The inclined seat is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the storage tank. A support assembly is provided on the outer wall of the support frame to provide additional support force.

[0009] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0010] The support assembly includes a fixing block and a fixing collar. The fixing block is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the support frame, and the fixing collar is fixedly connected to the bottom of the fixing block.

[0011] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0012] The fixed collar is slidably connected to a sliding shaft, and the bottom of the sliding shaft is fixedly connected to a chassis.

[0013] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0014] A limiting post is fixedly connected to the top of the sliding shaft, and a spring is provided on the outer wall of the limiting post.

[0015] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0016] One end of the spring is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the sliding shaft, and the other end is fixedly connected to the top of the sliding shaft.

[0019] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0020] The rotating frame is rotatably connected to a second connecting rod, which is rotatably connected to the sliding shaft. A transmission plate is fixedly connected to one side of the rotating frame, and a second fixing rod is slidably connected to the outer wall of the rotating frame. The bottom of the second fixing rod is fixedly connected to the top of the chassis.

[0021] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0022] The second fixed rod and the inside of the rotating frame are both slidably connected by a fixing strip.

[0023] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0024] 1. In this utility model, a motor drives a rotating shaft to move, and the rotating shaft moves synchronously with the stirring shaft, thereby driving the transmission rod to move inside the inclined seat. Due to the inclination of the inclined seat, the stirring shaft will move up and down, thereby achieving the effect of stirring the ink by moving up and down, solving the problem of uneven composition of ink caused by sedimentation, and improving the stability of ink quality.

[0025] 2. In this utility model, by pressing the transmission plate, the rotating frame moves under pressure.

[0033] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0034] Reference Figure 1 - Figure 3 The present invention provides an embodiment of an ink storage device, comprising a storage tank 1, a support frame 2 fixedly connected to the bottom of the storage tank 1, casters 3 provided at the bottom of the support frame 2, a push handle 4 fixedly connected to the outer wall of the storage tank 1 for easy movement and adjustment by the operator, a feed pipe 5 fixedly connected inside the storage tank 1 for injecting liquid ink into the storage tank 1, a discharge valve 6 fixedly connected inside the storage tank 1 for controlling the discharge of ink, a top cover 7 fixedly connected to the top of the storage tank 1, and a stirring assembly provided inside the storage tank 1 for stirring the ink.

[0035] The stirring assembly includes a rotating shaft 8, which is fixedly connected inside the top cover 7. A motor 9 is fixedly connected to the top of the rotating shaft 8 to provide output power and drive the movement of subsequent components. The output end of the motor 9 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 8. A connecting rod 10 is fixedly connected to one side of the rotating shaft 8, and a fixing rod 11 is fixedly connected to one end of the rotating shaft 8. A stirring shaft 13 is slidably connected to the outer wall of the fixing rod 11. A spring 12 is provided on the outer wall of the fixing rod 11 to provide a certain elasticity and ensure the movement of the assembly. One end of the spring 12 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 13. One end of the shaft 8 is fixedly connected to the top of the stirring shaft 13. Multiple stirring blades 14 are fixedly connected to the outer wall of the stirring shaft 13 for reciprocating stirring of the ink to prevent ink sedimentation. A transmission rod 15 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the stirring shaft 13. An inclined seat 16 is slidably connected to the outer wall of the transmission rod 15. The function of the inclined seat 16 is to maintain the stability of the stirring shaft 13 in the storage tank 1 and prevent unnecessary lateral shaking. The inclined seat 16 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the storage tank 1. A support component is provided on the outer wall of the support frame 2 to provide additional support force.

[0036] Specifically, when ink is prone to sedimentation and stratification during storage, leading to uneven composition and affecting printing quality and smooth output, or when it is necessary to ensure that all ink components remain well mixed to meet production process requirements, the ink is effectively delivered into the storage tank 1 through the feed pipe 5, ensuring a sufficient supply of stored ink. During ink storage, operators can quickly remove the ink for use through the discharge valve 6. During storage, the output end of the motor 9 drives the rotation of the rotating shaft 8 through transmission, further pushing the movement of the connecting rod 10. The motion of the 0 directly acts on the stirring assembly, driving the stirring shaft 13 and stirring blade 14 to rotate synchronously, thereby effectively preventing ink sedimentation or stratification and ensuring the uniformity of the ink during use. When the stirring shaft 13 moves, it interacts with the special curved surface structure of the connecting transmission rod 15 and the inclined seat 16, causing the transmission rod 15 to circulate and reciprocate from the high end to the low end along the interior of the inclined seat 16. Due to the inclined curved surface of the inclined seat 16, the stirring shaft 13 also generates synchronous reciprocating motion, thereby more fully stirring the ink and ensuring the full mixing and fluidity of the ink.

[0037] Reference Figure 4 and Figure 5 The support assembly includes a fixing block 17 and a fixing collar 18. The fixing block 17 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the support frame 2 to provide connection stability. The fixing collar 18 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the fixing block 17. A sliding shaft 19 is slidably connected inside the fixing collar 18. A chassis 20 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the sliding shaft 19. The chassis 20 provides ground support for the device. A limit post 21 is fixedly connected to the top of the sliding shaft 19. A spring 22 is provided on the outer wall of the limit post 21 to provide a certain elastic restoring force and ensure the movement stability of the assembly. One end of the spring 22 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the sliding shaft 19, and the other end is fixedly connected to the top of the sliding shaft 19.

[0038] Specifically, when the ink storage device is high and has an unstable center of gravity, it is easily affected by external forces such as vibration and collision in the workshop environment, causing it to shake or even tip over, posing a threat to production safety and equipment stability. In this case, the operator can press the transmission plate 26 to drive it downward. The downward movement of the transmission plate 26 causes the rotating frame 24 inside the connecting frame 23 to rotate, which in turn causes the sliding shaft 19 to slide within the fixed collar 18. The movement of the sliding shaft 19 pulls the spring 22 to undergo elastic deformation, causing the chassis 20 to contact the ground, thereby forming an additional support force. This support force effectively increases the stability of the equipment and prevents the equipment from shifting due to external disturbances.

[0039] Reference Figure 4 and Figure 5A connecting frame 23 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the fixed collar 18. The connecting frame 23 is used to support and connect the rotating frame 24. The rotating frame 24 is rotatably connected inside the connecting frame 23. A connecting rod 25 is rotatably connected inside the rotating frame 24. The connecting rod 25 is rotatably connected to the sliding shaft 19. A transmission plate 26 is fixedly connected to one side of the rotating frame 24 to facilitate quick operation of the component by the operator and drive the component to move. A fixing rod 27 is slidably connected to the outer wall of the rotating frame 24. The bottom of the fixing rod 27 is fixedly connected to the top of the chassis 20. Fixing strips 28 are slidably connected to both the fixing rod 27 and the inside of the rotating frame 24 to provide fixing and limiting functions.

[0040] Specifically, after the chassis 20 contacts the ground, the operator inserts the fixing strip 28 into the fixing rod 27 and the internal slot of the rotating frame 24 to ensure the component is fixed and limited, further improving the stability and safety of the equipment. This ensures the efficiency and stability of the ink mixing and storage process. The operator can flexibly adjust various functions according to actual needs, so that the equipment can operate stably in various environments.

[0041] Working Principle: When using this equipment, ink is fed into the storage tank 1 through the feed pipe 5, and can be quickly removed through the discharge valve 6. Simultaneously, the output of the motor 9 drives the rotating shaft 8 to rotate. The rotation of the rotating shaft 8 further moves the connecting rod 10, which in turn drives the stirring shaft 13 and stirring blade 14 to rotate synchronously, thus rapidly stirring the stored ink and preventing sedimentation and stratification. The movement of the stirring shaft 13 also drives the transmission rod 15 to slide inside the inclined seat 16. Due to the special inclined curved surface shape of the inclined seat 16, the transmission rod 15 will circulate back and forth between its relatively higher and lower ends as it slides inside. The movement of the stirring shaft 13 causes it to reciprocate synchronously, thus fully agitating the ink. When fixation is required, the operator presses the transmission plate 26, causing it to move downwards. As the transmission plate 26 moves, the rotating frame 24 rotates inside the connecting frame 23, causing the sliding shaft 19 to slide inside the fixing collar 18. The movement of the sliding shaft 19 pulls the spring 22 to undergo elastic deformation, causing the chassis 20 to contact the ground, forming an additional supporting force to ensure the stability of the equipment. After the chassis 20 contacts the ground, the operator inserts the fixing strip 28 into the fixing rod 27 and the internal slot of the rotating frame 24 to achieve the function of limiting and fixing, ensuring the stability of the components.

[0042] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
