[0034] The pigment mixing box provided in this embodiment, through the setting of the abrasive part 23, can further improve the friction between the bottom of the mixing tank 2 and the bottom of the grinding strip 4, thereby improving the grinding fineness of the mineral dye; in the non-use state, the box cover 24 seals the top of the mixing tank 2 to prevent the dye solution in the mixing tank 2 from overflowing or external dirt from entering the mixing tank 2; by rotating and adjusting the grinding strip 4, the distance between the threaded part at the top of the shaft 3 and the threaded groove 25 is changed, thereby changing the size of the gap between the grinding strip 4 and the bottom wall of the mixing tank 2, so as to meet the fine grinding requirements of mineral dyes with different particle sizes.
[0035] Example 2
[0036] The pigment mixing box provided in Example 1 has been further optimized. For details, please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 1-3 as well as Figure 6-7 It also includes a pre-grinding assembly installed in the middle of the housing 1. The pre-grinding assembly includes a housing 9, a second drive shaft 10 rotatably installed in the housing 9, a porous grinding disc 11 fixedly installed in the housing 9, a scraper 12 fixedly installed on the second drive shaft 10, and a drive component 13 that provides power for the rotation of the second drive shaft 10. The bottom of the scraper 12 is in close contact with the top of the porous grinding disc 11. The housing 9 has a material cavity 14 located below the porous grinding disc 11. The housing 9 has a discharge channel 15 communicating with the inside of the material cavity 14. The discharge end of the discharge channel 15 extends upward toward the preparation groove 2. The second drive shaft 10 and the first drive shaft 6 are connected by a transmission. Furthermore, the drive component 13 is preferably a hand crank, but the drive component 13 can also be a drive motor or other equivalent component that drives the second drive shaft 10 to rotate.
[0037] For details, please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 6 A mounting base 16 is fixedly installed in the middle of the housing 1. The mounting base 16 is provided with positioning posts 17 corresponding to multiple configuration slots 2. The bottom of the housing 9 is provided with positioning holes 18 corresponding to the positioning posts 17. The positioning posts 17 are inserted into the corresponding positioning holes 18. The top of the first drive shaft 6 is provided with a bearing slot 19. The bottom of the second drive shaft 10 is provided with a bearing insert 20 that fits into the bearing slot 19. The bearing insert 20 is inserted into the bearing slot 19. Furthermore, the bearing insert 20 is a polygonal prism to ensure good transmission between the first drive shaft 6 and the second drive shaft 10.
[0038] For details, please refer to Figure 6 A spiral guide vane 21 is mounted on the second drive shaft 10 above the scraper 12; furthermore, the spiral guide vane 21 is used to transport mineral dye inside the housing 9 to the porous grinding disc 11.
[0039] For details, please refer to Figure 6A scraper 22 located in the material cavity 14 is installed on the second drive shaft 10; furthermore, the bottom of the scraper 22 contacts the bottom wall of the material cavity 14, and the scraper 22 is used to scrape and feed the material in the material cavity 14 to the discharge channel 15.
[0040] The pigment mixing box provided in this embodiment allows the dye to be placed into the housing 9. The second drive shaft 10 is rotated by the drive component 13, causing the scraper 12 to grind the mineral dye on the porous grinding disc 11. The ground small-particle mineral dye falls into the material chamber 14 through the holes in the porous grinding disc 11. The mineral dye in the material chamber 14 then falls into the corresponding preparation tank 2 through the discharge channel 15, pre-grinding the mineral dye and further shortening the grinding time and improving the grinding fineness. When grinding different colored mineral dyes, the housing 9 can be lifted upwards, and the positioning column 1... 7. Move out of the positioning hole 18 and rotate the housing 9 so that the discharge end of the discharge channel 15 is above the corresponding preparation tank 2, so that the ground mineral dye can be fed into the corresponding preparation tank 2; during the rotation of the second drive shaft 10, the spiral guide vane 21 can be driven to rotate synchronously. The spiral guide vane 21 can transport the mineral dye in the housing 9 to the porous grinding disc 11 to form a downward extrusion force on the mineral dye, thereby causing the ground mineral dye to pass through the holes on the porous grinding disc 11; the scraper 22 can scrape off the mineral dye in the material cavity 14 to reduce the residue of mineral dye in the material cavity 14.
[0041] The pigment mixing box provided by this utility model is used as follows: the driving component 13 drives the second driving shaft 10 to rotate. After the mineral dye is pre-ground by the pre-grinding component, it is sent into the corresponding mixing tank 2. The second driving shaft 10 drives the first driving shaft 6 to rotate synchronously. The first driving shaft 6 drives the driving gear 7 to rotate. After the driven gear 5 rotates, each shaft 3 drives the corresponding grinding strip 4 to rotate. The grinding strip 4 grinds the mineral dye at the bottom of the mixing tank 2 and stirs the dye solution in the mixing tank 2, so as to realize the synchronous grinding and mixing of multiple color mineral dyes.
