Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field, and in particular to a circulating flushing device for a direct plate making machine that is easy to operate. Background Technology

[0002] The rinsing process in the plate-making machine is mainly used for cleaning and developing, ensuring that the printing plate is clean and forms a high-quality image area. The reaction between the developer and water removes the latent image on the PS plate, forming a printable image area.

[0003] In the prior art, a search revealed a Chinese patent disclosing "A Conveniently Operated Plate-Making Machine Circulating Water Flushing Device," application number "202020721879.X." This patent mainly includes a housing with an inlet on one side and an outlet on the other. Several drive rollers with rotating devices are rotatably installed inside the housing. A partition is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the housing. Two purification pipes are fixedly connected to one side of the housing, both communicating with the interior of the housing. The upper purification pipe is located above the partition, and the lower purification pipe is located below the partition.

[0022] This section will describe in detail the specific embodiments of the present utility model. The preferred embodiments of the present utility model are shown in the accompanying drawings. The purpose of the drawings is to supplement the textual description with graphics, so that people can intuitively and vividly understand each technical feature and the overall technical solution of the present utility model, but they should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present utility model.

[0023] Reference Figure 1-4 This utility model provides a convenient circulating flushing device for a direct plate making machine, which includes a water collection tank 1 and a filter cylinder 2 located on one side of the water collection tank 1. The top of the water collection tank 1 is provided with a water supply pipe 4, and multiple nozzles 19 are uniformly fixed at the bottom of the water supply pipe 4. The filter cylinder 2 is provided with a mounting frame 21 inside, and two semi-circular filter screens 11 are symmetrically fixed inside the mounting frame 21. Sealing components are provided on the upper and lower sides of the mounting frame 21 and on the side near the middle. The mounting frame 21 rotates between the sealing components. The filter cylinder 2 is formed into two chambers through the sealing components, wherein the chamber near the water collection tank 1 is the filtration chamber and the other chamber is the cleaning chamber.

[0024] When the printing plate is conveyed and moved on the top roller of the water collection tank 1, the nozzle 19 rinses the printing plate, and the rinsed wastewater falls into the water collection tank 1. The wastewater is then transported to the filter cylinder 2 and filtered through the filter screen 11 inside the filter chamber. At the same time, the filter screen 11 inside the cleaning chamber is cleaned. When the filter screen 11 is saturated, the mounting frame 21 rotates, and the filter screen 11 inside the filter chamber and the filter screen 11 inside the cleaning chamber are interchanged, realizing a quick switch between filtration and cleaning. This facilitates continuous filtration and avoids the troublesome problem of repeatedly disassembling and assembling the filter screen 11 for cleaning, making it convenient to use.

[0025] The filter cartridge 2 is rotatably connected to a rotating shaft 5. A motor 6 is fixedly mounted on the top of the filter cartridge 2. The top end of the rotating shaft 5 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the motor 6, and the bottom end of the rotating shaft 5 is fixedly connected to the mounting frame 21.

[0026] The motor 6 drives the rotating shaft 5 to rotate, causing the mounting frame 21 and the filter screen 11 to rotate 180°, switching the filter screen 11 inside the filter chamber to the cleaning chamber, and simultaneously switching the filter screen 11 inside the cleaning chamber to the filter chamber.

[0027] The sealing assembly includes a fixing plate 3 and a sealing gasket 22 fixed on the top of the fixing plate 3. The two fixing plates 3 are respectively fixed on the bottom wall of the filter cylinder 2 and the top of the mounting frame 21. The two sealing gaskets 22 are respectively in contact with the bottom of the mounting frame 21 and the top wall of the filter cylinder 2. A sealing ring 18 is fixed on the outer ring of the mounting frame 21, and the sealing ring 18 has multiple protrusions.

[0028] The left and right chambers of the mounting frame 21 are sealed by the cooperation of the fixing plate 3 and the sealing gasket 22. The sealing gasket 22 maintains a sliding connection with the mounting frame 21, ensuring that the mounting frame 21 and its internal filter screen 11 can be freely replaced while preventing water leakage inside the two chambers. The sealing ring 18 on the mounting frame 21 is used to seal the connection between the mounting frame 21 and the filter cylinder 2, so that each chamber is an independent closed space.

[0029] The filter chamber is equipped with a sludge inlet pipe 7 and a liquid outlet pipe 8. The liquid outlet pipe 8 is connected to the water supply pipe 4 via a connecting pipe 13. The sludge inlet pipe 7 is connected to the water collection tank 1 via a water pump 15. The cleaning chamber is equipped with a water inlet pipe 10 and a drain pipe 9. The drain pipe 9 is connected to the connecting pipe 13 via a water supply branch pipe 12.

[0030] During filtration, the water pump 15 draws water from the water collection tank 1 and transports it to the filter cylinder 2 through the sewage inlet pipe 7. After being filtered by the filter screen 11, the water is discharged from the liquid outlet pipe 8 and returned to the water supply pipe 4 for recycling.

[0031] During cleaning, the cleaning water flows through the water supply branch pipe 12 and is delivered to the cleaning chamber through the water inlet pipe 10. After cleaning the filter screen 11, the wastewater is discharged from the drain pipe 9.

[0032] A third valve 20 is provided on the side of the water supply branch pipe 12 near the connecting pipe 13 to control the opening and closing of the water supply branch pipe 12. A water supply pipe 16 is fixedly installed on the top of the water collection tank 1, and a second valve 17 is provided on the water supply pipe 16 to connect the water supply pipe 16 to an external delivery pump. By controlling the second valve 17, it is convenient to replenish water into the water collection tank 1. Each nozzle 19 is equipped with a control valve, and a first valve 14 is provided on the drain pipe 9 to facilitate the discharge of wastewater from the cleaning chamber.

[0033] Working principle: When the plate is conveyed and moved on the top roller of the water collection tank 1, the nozzle 19 washes the plate, and the washed wastewater falls into the water collection tank 1. The wastewater is then transported to the filter cylinder 2 and filtered through the filter screen 11 inside the filter chamber. At the same time, the filter screen 11 inside the cleaning chamber is cleaned.

[0034] Once the filter screen 11 is saturated, the motor 6 drives the rotating shaft 5 to rotate, causing the mounting frame 21 and the filter screen 11 to rotate 180°. This switches the filter screen 11 inside the filtration chamber to the cleaning chamber, and simultaneously switches the filter screen 11 inside the cleaning chamber to the filtration chamber. The interchangeability of the filter screen 11 inside the filtration chamber and the filter screen 11 inside the cleaning chamber allows for rapid switching between filtration and cleaning, facilitating continuous filtration and avoiding the hassle of repeatedly disassembling and reassembling the filter screen 11 for cleaning. This makes the process convenient to use.

[0035] The embodiments of the present utility model have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art, various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of the present utility model.
