Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of ink mixing equipment technology, and in particular to a water-based ink mixing and dilution device. Background Technology

[0002] In the production and application of water-based inks, uniform mixing of ink and diluent is a key step in ensuring stable ink performance. Traditional ink mixing methods often involve batch feeding and intermittent stirring, which results in low mixing efficiency and insufficient precision in controlling the dilution ratio. Especially when processing high-viscosity inks, insufficient mixing often leads to fluctuations in indicators such as ink flowability and drying speed. In addition, conventional mixing equipment lacks real-time heating capabilities, and the compatibility between ink and diluent is poor at low temperatures, requiring an additional preheating process. This not only prolongs the production cycle but may also cause material waste and contamination due to multiple transfers.

[0003] To address the aforementioned technical bottlenecks, this invention provides a water-based ink mixing and dilution device. By optimizing the material conveying and mixing path, it achieves continuous introduction and efficient mixing of ink and diluent. The device can simultaneously deliver ink and diluent to the mixing and stirring mechanism according to a preset ratio. The flow rate ratio is precisely controlled by a dynamic metering pump, avoiding the problem of uneven mixing caused by the time difference of traditional batch feeding. Utility Model Content

It is hereby declared that the terms "up," "down," "left," "right," "front," "back," "inner," and "outer," etc., appearing or about to appear in this document, are based solely on the accompanying drawings and are not intended to specifically limit this utility model.

[0024] like Figures 1-6The aforementioned water-based ink mixing and dilution device includes a fixed frame 1, a heat source pump 5, a dilution guiding mechanism 3, and a mixing mechanism 2. The fixed frame 1 has a rectangular frame structure, and the dilution guiding mechanism 3 is installed inside the fixed frame 1. One end of the dilution guiding mechanism 3 is connected to the mixing mechanism 2. The dilution guiding mechanism 3 includes a guide pipe 301, a spiral guide rod 309, a first drive motor 307, a first feed tank 303, and a second feed tank 305. The guide pipe 301 is installed inside the fixed frame 1 via a connector, and the spiral guide rod 309 is installed inside the guide pipe 301. One end of the spiral guide rod 309 is connected to the first drive motor 307. The upper part is connected to the first feed tank 303 and the second feed tank 305. The discharge end of the guide pipe 301 is connected to the mixing mechanism 2 through the discharge pipe 308. One side of the mixing mechanism 2 is connected to the heat source pump 5 through the first air guide pipe 6. The upper part of the guide pipe 301 is provided with a first feed port 311 and a second feed port 310. The first feed port 311 and the second feed port 310 are respectively connected to the discharge ports of the first feed tank 303 and the second feed tank 305. Flow control valves 304 are provided at the discharge ports of the first feed tank 303 and the second feed tank 305. The first drive motor 307 is mounted on one end of the fixed frame 1 through the motor support 306.

[0025] It should be noted that a dilution guiding mechanism 3 and a mixing mechanism 2 are provided on the upper part of the fixed frame 1. The ink and diluent inside the first feed tank 303 and the second feed tank 305 can enter the feed tube 301, and after being mixed and transported for the first time by the spiral guide rod 309, they are introduced into the mixing mechanism 2 for secondary mixing.

[0026] It should be further explained that the upper part of the feed pipe 301 is provided with a first feed port 311 and a second feed port 310, and a flow controller and a digital valve are provided at the connection with the first feed tank 303 and the second feed tank 305 to facilitate control of the amount introduced and the dilution.

[0027] like Figures 1-6As shown, it also includes a mixing mechanism 2, which includes a mixing tank 201, a sealing plate 203, a gas guiding chamber 202, a stirring shaft 208, and stirring supports 209. The mixing tank 201 is a rectangular cavity structure with an opening at the top, and the gas guiding chamber 202 is provided inside the mixing tank 201. The sealing plate 203 is provided at the top of the mixing tank 201, and the stirring shaft 208 is provided inside the sealing plate 203. Several stirring supports 209 are provided on the stirring shaft 208. Several stirring supports 209 are provided at the top of the stirring shaft 208, and the top of the stirring shaft 208 is connected to the second drive motor 207. The top of the sealing plate 203 is connected to the carrying plate 206 through a connecting column, and the second drive motor 207 is provided on the carrying plate 206. The top of the sealing plate 203 is provided with a first through hole 205 and a feed inlet 204.

[0028] It should be noted that the mixing mechanism 2 is designed to mix the graphite and diluent again. The upper part of the mixing tank 201 is equipped with a sealing plate 203, and the lower part of the sealing plate 203 is equipped with a stirring shaft 208 and a stirring support 209. The mixing mechanism can be driven by the upper second drive motor 207 to achieve transmission and thus achieve mixing.

[0029] It should be further explained that the mixing tank 201 has a two-layer structure, with an internal air guide chamber 202. The air inlet of the chamber is connected to the heat source pump 5 through the first air guide pipe 6, which can introduce hot air into the air guide chamber 202 to facilitate the heating treatment of the materials inside, thereby improving the dilution efficiency of the equipment. On the one hand, heating can reduce the viscosity of the ink, making it more fluid and easier to mix evenly with the diluent during stirring, reducing stirring resistance and improving mixing efficiency. On the other hand, appropriate heating can accelerate the movement rate of molecules in the ink, promote the dissolution and dispersion process of the diluent, ink resin, pigments and other components, and make the diluted ink system more stable, avoiding phenomena such as layering and sedimentation. It also helps to improve the subsequent printing suitability of the ink, such as adhesion and drying speed.

[0030] like Figures 1-6 As shown, the mixing tank 201 is provided with an air inlet 211 on the outside, and the air inlet 211 is connected to the air outlet of the heat source pump 5 through the first air guide pipe (6); the mixing tank 201 is provided with an air outlet on the side, and the air outlet is connected to the air inlet on the material guide pipe 301 through the second air guide pipe 7; the mixing tank 201 is provided with a discharge port 210 at the bottom.

[0031] It should be noted that the mixing tank 201 is equipped with an air inlet and an air outlet. After the hot air is introduced, it is discharged from the air outlet and then enters the material guide pipe 301 through the second air guide pipe 7 and enters the jacket to reheat the material inside the material guide pipe 301. This allows for heating during feeding and enables comprehensive utilization of waste heat.

However, the present invention 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 invention.
