Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of feeding devices, specifically relating to a feeding device for stirring optical inks. Background Technology
[0002] Printing ink is an essential material used in packaging material printing, transferring patterns and text onto a substrate. Ink consists of main and auxiliary components, which are uniformly mixed and repeatedly rolled to form a viscous, colloidal fluid. It is composed of pigments, binders, additives, and solvents. It is used in various printing applications, including books, packaging, and architectural decoration. With increasing social demand, the variety and production volume of inks have expanded accordingly. In the production process of optical inks, the ink needs to be injected into a mixing tank for stirring. A crucial step in this stirring process is feeding the optical ink. However, this feeding is often done manually, requiring workers to pour buckets of optical ink into the mixing tank one by one. Therefore, finding a way to quickly feed multiple buckets of optical ink has become a pressing technical problem.

It includes a rotary material changing component 1, which includes a mounting frame 11; a first drive motor 12, which is detachably mounted on the mounting frame 11, and a drive wheel 13 is detachably mounted on the output end of the mounting frame 11; a belt 14, which is removably sleeved on the drive wheel 13; a rotating shaft 15, which is rotatably mounted on the mounting frame 11, and a driven wheel 16 is detachably mounted on one end of the rotating shaft 15, and the driven wheel 16 can be bypassed by the belt 14; a turntable 17, which is detachably mounted on the rotating shaft 15, and a rotating arm 18 is detachably mounted on the turntable 17. The rotating arm 18 has multiple sets of extension handles, and a material box 19 is detachably mounted on each set of extension handles. A material pipe 191 is detachably mounted on the material box 19; and a side support 2, which is detachably mounted on the mounting frame 11, and a pipe changing component 3 is detachably mounted on the side support 2.
[0034] The overall concept of this utility model is as follows: When feeding optical ink, one set of material tubes 191 is first aligned with the transmission pipe 38 via the side support 2. The transmission pipe 38 is then connected to the inlet of the mixing equipment. By activating the suction pump in the mixing equipment, the optical ink in the material box 19 is injected into the mixing equipment. After the ink in one set of material boxes 19 is exhausted, the pipe-changing component 3 activates the second drive motor 33, causing the lead screw 34 to rotate and move the mounting plate 36 upward, thereby disengaging the transmission pipe 38 from the material tubes 191. Then, the first drive motor 12 is activated, causing the turntable 17 to rotate and align the next set of material tubes 191 with the transmission pipe 38. The second drive motor 33 is then activated, causing the lead screw 34 to rotate and move the mounting plate 36 downward, allowing the material tubes 191 to be aligned with the transmission pipe 38 again, completing the next ink feeding cycle. This equipment significantly improves the flexibility of optical ink feeding.
[0035] In some embodiments, more specifically, in order to enable the extended handles of the rotating arm 18 to pull more material boxes 19, the rotating arm 18 is cross-shaped, and the multiple sets of extended handles of the rotating arm 18 are all connected to the upper end face of the turntable 17.
[0036] In some embodiments, more specifically, the size of the drive pulley 13 is adapted to the size of the driven pulley 16, and the belt 14 can sequentially cover the drive pulley 13 and the driven pulley 16 within it.
[0037] Next, a more specific structure and construction of the pipe-changing component 3 will be given for further explanation. The pipe-changing component 3 includes a connecting frame 31, on which a base 32 is detachably mounted, and the base 32 is connected to the side support 2; a second drive motor 33, which is detachably mounted on the connecting frame 31, and the output end of the second drive motor 33 can be inserted into the connecting frame 31; a lead screw 34, which is rotatably mounted in the connecting frame 31, and the lead screw 34 is connected to the output end of the second drive motor 33; a ball bearing base 35, which is slidably mounted in the connecting frame 31, and the ball bearing base 35 can be passed through by the lead screw 34; and a sealing ring 37, which is detachably mounted on the mounting plate 36, and a transmission pipe 38 is detachably mounted in the sealing ring 37.
[0038] Next, the overall operating principle and effect of the pipe changing component 3 will be further explained. Through the pipe changing component 3, the second drive motor 33 is turned on to rotate the lead screw 34, which drives the mounting plate 36 to move upward, thereby disengaging the transmission pipe 38 from the material pipe 191. Then, the first drive motor 12 is turned on to rotate the turntable 17, which aligns the next set of material pipes 191 with the transmission pipe 38. Then, the second drive motor 33 is turned on to rotate the lead screw 34, which drives the mounting plate 36 to move downward, and the material pipes 191 continue to be aligned with the transmission pipe 38 to complete the next ink feeding.
[0039] In some embodiments, more specifically, in order to enable the transmission pipe 38 to quickly penetrate into the material pipe 191, the diameter of the transmission pipe 38 is adapted to the diameter of the material pipe 191, and the transmission pipe 38 can penetrate into the material pipe 191.
[0040] In some embodiments, more specifically, in order to make the transmission pipe 38 stay more stably within the sealing ring 37, the sealing ring 37 has a through groove, and the diameter of the through groove is adapted to the diameter of the transmission pipe 38. A sliding sleeve can also be detachably installed in the through groove within the sealing ring 37, and the sliding sleeve can be passed through by the transmission pipe 38.
[0041] In summary, by using the side supports 2, when feeding optical ink, one set of material pipes 191 is first aligned with the transmission pipe 38. Then, the transmission pipe 38 is connected to the port of the mixing equipment. By turning on the suction pump in the mixing equipment, the optical ink in the material box 19 is injected into the mixing equipment. After the ink in one set of material boxes 19 is exhausted, the pipe-changing component 3 is used to turn on the second drive motor 33 to rotate the lead screw 34, thereby moving the mounting plate 36 upward, thus disengaging the transmission pipe 38 from the material pipe 191. Then, the first drive motor 12 is turned on to rotate the turntable 17, aligning the next set of material pipes 191 with the transmission pipe 38. The second drive motor 33 is then turned on to rotate the lead screw 34, moving the mounting plate 36 downward, and the material pipe 191 is aligned with the transmission pipe 38 again to complete the next ink feeding. This equipment can significantly complete the optical ink feeding operation and improve the flexibility of feeding.
