Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model mainly relates to the field of ink filling technology, specifically to an ink filtration and filling machine. Background Technology

[0002] In the production and use of inks, filling is a crucial step, directly affecting the quality, storage, and transportation of the ink products. Currently, there are many types of ink filling equipment on the market, but numerous problems still exist in practical applications. Traditional ink filling equipment often lacks an effective stirring mechanism or uses simple stirring methods, making it difficult to fully agitate the ink. During the standing or transportation process, ink is prone to component sedimentation and stratification, resulting in uneven ink concentration after filling and affecting subsequent use. This is especially true for some high-viscosity inks, whose internal components are more prone to agglomeration; insufficient agitation will severely reduce product quality, increase rework rates, and raise production costs.

[0003] Meanwhile, the filtration function of existing equipment is also insufficient. During the production, storage, and transportation of ink, particulate impurities, fibers, and other foreign matter inevitably mix in. If these impurities are not effectively removed, they will not only clog the filling head and affect filling efficiency, but also remain in the product after filling, leading to a decline in product performance and even damaging the equipment using the ink, causing economic losses to users. Although some equipment is equipped with filtration devices, the filtration effect is poor, or the filtration process is not well integrated with the mixing and filling processes, resulting in filtration dead zones and failing to ensure that all ink is effectively filtered. In addition, the automation level of existing equipment is generally low, requiring a large amount of manual intervention in feeding, mixing, filtering, and discharging operations. This is not only labor-intensive, but also prone to errors, making it difficult to guarantee the stability and continuity of production, resulting in low production efficiency and failing to meet the needs of large-scale production. Utility Model Content

[0004] 1. The technical problem to be solved by the utility model:

[0005] This invention provides an ink filtration and filling machine to solve the technical problems existing in the background art.

[0006] 2. Technical Solution:

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution provided by this utility model is as follows: an ink filtration and filling machine, comprising a processing box, an ink inlet at the upper end of the processing box, a discharge tray at the lower end of the processing box, a screen between the processing box and the discharge tray, a stirring mechanism inside the processing box, a driving mechanism outside the processing box, the stirring mechanism being connected to the driving mechanism, the stirring mechanism rotating under the drive mechanism to stir the ink in the processing box, and the output end of the discharge tray being connected to a filling head via a pipe.

[0008] Preferably, the stirring mechanism includes several partitions vertically arranged inside the processing box, which divide the processing box into several stirring chambers. Each partition has a rotating shaft 1 and a rotating shaft 2 rotatably passing through it. Several stirring rods are fixedly connected to the portions of the rotating shaft 1 and the rotating shaft 2 located in the corresponding stirring chambers, and the stirring rods on the rotating shaft 1 and the rotating shaft 2 are staggered.

[0009] Preferably, the drive mechanism includes a mounting box fixedly installed on the outside of the processing box, a motor fixedly installed on the outer wall of the mounting box, the output end of the motor being connected to the input end of the reducer, the output end of the reducer being fixedly connected to a drive gear and meshing with a driven gear, the drive gear being fixedly connected to a first rotating shaft, and the driven gear being fixedly connected to a second rotating shaft.

[0010] Preferably, the upper surface of the feeding tray has a plurality of guide grooves evenly spaced, and the lower end has a feeding trough. The number of guide grooves is equal to the number of mixing chambers, and each guide groove is connected to a corresponding mixing chamber. The guide grooves and the feeding troughs correspond one-to-one. A feeding control rod is rotatably installed inside the feeding tray, and the feeding control rod is located between the guide grooves and the feeding trough. The feeding control rod has a plurality of feeding holes evenly spaced, and the number of feeding holes is equal to the number of guide grooves. Two working states are achieved by rotating the feeding control rod. In the first working state, the feeding control rod blocks the feeding trough, so that the guide grooves and the feeding trough are not connected. In the second working state, the guide grooves, feeding holes, and feeding troughs are connected sequentially from top to bottom. The lower end of the feeding trough is connected to the filling head through a pipe.

[0011] Preferably, one end of the feeding control rod extends into the mounting box and is fixedly connected to a control gear. A rack that meshes with the control gear is slidably mounted on the mounting box. An electric push rod is fixedly mounted on the outer wall of the mounting box. The output end of the electric push rod is connected to the rack and can drive the rack to move.

[0012] 3. Beneficial effects:

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the technical solution provided by this utility model has the following advantages:

[0014] This invention employs multiple stirring chambers and staggered stirring rods to achieve all-around stirring of the ink, effectively preventing sedimentation and stratification caused by static setting. This ensures the uniformity of the ink during subsequent filling, thereby guaranteeing the stable quality of the final product. It achieves excellent stirring results for both high-viscosity and low-viscosity inks, avoiding problems such as inconsistent color depth and performance differences in the filled product caused by uneven stirring.

[0015] This invention uses a sieve to filter ink, accurately removing particulate impurities, fibers, and other foreign matter, significantly improving ink purity. The filtered ink, after filling, will not clog the filling head due to impurities, nor will it affect the product's performance, thus contributing to improved quality of subsequent filled products and reducing ink quality issues.

[0016] This utility model's dispensing control lever offers flexible switching between two working states. Through the coordinated action of the electric push rod, rack, and control gear, it can quickly and accurately control the flow and interruption of ink, precisely controlling the amount and timing of ink dispensing. This prevents ink overflow and dripping during filling, thus avoiding ink waste and inaccurate filling volumes. Whether for small or large dosage filling needs, the working state of the dispensing control lever can be adjusted to meet different production requirements.

[0017] This invention boasts a high degree of automation. Both the drive mechanism and the material feeding control components are electrically driven. From ink mixing and filtering to feeding and filling, most stages of the equipment are automated, reducing manual intervention. This not only reduces errors caused by manual operation and improves production consistency and stability but also significantly increases work efficiency and reduces the labor intensity of operators. Operators only need to perform simple tasks such as equipment startup, monitoring, and material replenishment, eliminating the need for prolonged complex operations at the equipment, thus saving labor costs. Because the equipment integrates mixing, filtering, feeding, and filling, the processes are closely linked, eliminating the need for manual process changes and greatly shortening the production cycle. Compared to traditional step-by-step operation equipment, it can complete more filling tasks in the same amount of time, effectively improving enterprise production efficiency and meeting the needs of large-scale production. Furthermore, the equipment operates stably, avoiding frequent shutdowns due to improper operation or equipment failure, ensuring continuous production. Attached Figure Description

[0030] See attached document Figures 1-5 An ink filtration and filling machine includes a processing box 1, an ink inlet 2 at the upper end of the processing box 1, a discharge tray 6 at the lower end of the processing box 1, a screen 4 between the processing box 1 and the discharge tray 6, a stirring mechanism 3 inside the processing box 1, a driving mechanism 5 outside the processing box 1, the stirring mechanism 3 being connected to the driving mechanism 5, the stirring mechanism 3 rotating under the drive of the driving mechanism 5 to stir the ink in the processing box 1, and the output end of the discharge tray 6 being connected to the filling head through a pipe.

[0031] The stirring mechanism 3 includes several partitions 31 vertically arranged inside the processing tank 1. The partitions 31 divide the processing tank 1 into several stirring chambers. A rotating shaft 32 and a rotating shaft 33 are rotatably connected to each partition 31. Several stirring rods 34 are fixedly connected to the portions of the rotating shafts 32 and 33 located in the corresponding stirring chambers, and the stirring rods 34 on the rotating shafts 32 and 33 are staggered.

[0032] The drive mechanism 5 includes a mounting box 51 fixedly installed on the outside of the processing box 1. A motor 52 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the mounting box 51. The output end of the motor 52 is connected to the input end of the reducer 53. The output end of the reducer 53 is fixedly connected to a drive gear 54 and meshes with a driven gear 55. The drive gear 54 is fixedly connected to a rotating shaft 32, and the driven gear 55 is fixedly connected to a rotating shaft 33.

[0033] The upper surface of the feeding tray 6 is provided with several guide grooves 61 at equal intervals, and the lower end is provided with a feeding groove 62. The number of guide grooves 61 is equal to the number of mixing chambers, and each guide groove 61 is connected to the corresponding mixing chamber. The guide grooves 61 and the feeding grooves 62 are in one-to-one correspondence. A feeding control rod 63 is rotatably installed inside the feeding tray 6, and the feeding control rod 63 is located between the guide grooves 61 and the feeding grooves 62. Several feeding holes 64 are provided at equal intervals on the feeding control rod 63, and the number of feeding holes 64 is equal to the number of guide grooves 61. Two working states are achieved by rotating the feeding control rod 63. In the first working state, the feeding control rod 63 blocks the feeding groove 62, so that the guide grooves 61 and the feeding groove 62 are not connected. In the second working state, the guide grooves 61, the feeding holes 64 and the feeding groove 62 are connected from top to bottom. The lower end of the feeding groove 62 is connected to the filling head through a pipe.

[0034] One end of the feeding control rod 63 extends into the mounting box 51 and is fixedly connected to the control gear 65. A rack 66 that meshes with the control gear 65 is slidably mounted on the mounting box 51. An electric push rod 67 is fixedly mounted on the outer wall of the mounting box 51. The output end of the electric push rod 67 is connected to the rack 66 and can drive the rack 66 to move.

[0035] Working principle:

[0036] The operator introduces the ink to be processed into the feed inlet 2 at the top of the processing tank 1 via a conveying device or by manual pouring. After the ink enters the processing tank 1, it is divided into several mixing chambers by several vertically arranged partitions 31 inside the processing tank 1. Under the action of gravity, the ink will naturally disperse into each mixing chamber, and the amount of ink received by each mixing chamber is roughly uniform, laying the foundation for subsequent uniform mixing.

[0037] Stirring Stage: After the operator starts the equipment, the drive mechanism 5 begins to work. The high-speed rotational power output by the motor 52, mounted on the outer wall of the mounting box 51, is transmitted to the input end of the reducer 53. The reducer 53, through the meshing transmission of its internal gear set, converts the high-speed, low-torque power into low-speed, high-torque power to meet the power requirements of the stirring mechanism 3. The output end of the reducer 53 is fixedly connected to the drive gear 54, driving the drive gear 54 to rotate stably at a set speed. The drive gear 54 meshes with the driven gear 55, and under the drive of the drive gear 54, the driven gear 55 rotates in the opposite direction. Since the drive gear 54 is fixedly connected to the first shaft 32 and the driven gear 55 is fixedly connected to the second shaft 33, the first shaft 32 and the second shaft 33 rotate accordingly. The first shaft 32 and the second shaft 33 extend through the partition 31 into each stirring chamber, and several stirring rods 34 fixedly connected to their portions within the stirring chambers also rotate accordingly. Because the stirring rods 34 are staggered on the rotating shafts 32 and 33, they can thoroughly mix the ink during rotation, ensuring uniform distribution of ink components and preventing ink sedimentation and solidification. The duration of the entire stirring process can be adjusted according to the type of ink and its initial state to ensure that the stirring effect meets the preset requirements.

[0038] Filtration Stage: The thoroughly stirred ink flows downwards from the bottom of the mixing chamber. A screen 4, horizontally positioned between the processing chamber 1 and the discharge tray 6, has its edges fixedly connected to the inner wall of the processing chamber 1, forming a complete filter surface. The aperture of the screen 4 is selected based on the size of any impurities that may be present in the ink, effectively blocking particulate impurities, fibers, and other foreign matter from passing through. As the ink flows through the screen 4, impurities are trapped above the screen, while pure ink passes through the mesh and continues to flow downwards. As the filtration process continues, a certain amount of impurities may accumulate on the screen 4. This can be addressed by periodically stopping the machine for cleaning, ensuring that the filtration efficiency of the screen 4 remains unaffected.

[0039] Material feeding control stage: After filtering, the ink passes through the screen 4 and falls precisely into several guide grooves 61 evenly spaced on the upper surface of the feeding tray 6. The number of guide grooves 61 is equal to the number of mixing chambers, and each guide groove 61 is vertically aligned with its corresponding mixing chamber, ensuring that the ink flowing out of each mixing chamber can accurately enter the corresponding guide groove 61. The inner wall of the guide groove 61 is smoothed to reduce the resistance during ink flow, allowing the ink to smoothly converge towards the feeding trough 62 below. When the feeding control rod 63, which is rotatably mounted inside the feeding tray 6, is in its initial first working state, the rod part of the feeding control rod 63 precisely blocks the connection between the guide groove 61 and the feeding trough 62, preventing the ink in the guide groove 61 from flowing into the feeding trough 62. At this time, the ink is temporarily stored in the guide groove 61. When filling is required, the control system issues a command, activating the electric push rod 67 mounted on the outer wall of the mounting box 51. Its piston rod extends or retracts, driving the connected rack 66 to slide horizontally on the feeding tray 6. The rack 66 meshes with a control gear 65 fixedly connected to one end of the feeding control rod 63. The sliding of the rack 66 drives the control gear 65 to rotate, thereby causing the feeding control rod 63 to rotate around its own axis. When the feeding control rod 63 rotates to the second working state, the several feeding holes 64 on it correspond vertically to the guide grooves 61 and feeding grooves 62. At this time, the guide grooves 61, feeding holes 64, and feeding grooves 62 are connected sequentially from top to bottom, forming a complete ink flow channel. The ink in the guide grooves 61 flows smoothly into the feeding grooves 62 through the feeding holes 64. After filling is completed, the electric push rod 67 drives the rack 66 to move in the opposite direction, causing the feeding control rod 63 to return to the first working state, re-blocking the feeding grooves 62 and cutting off the ink flow.

[0040] Filling Stage: The ink flowing into the feed trough 62 is propelled downwards along its channel by gravity and the force of subsequent ink flow. The lower end of the feed trough 62 is connected to the filling head via a pipe. The inner diameter of the pipe is designed according to the filling speed requirements to ensure stable ink delivery to the filling head. The filling head accurately injects the ink into the container to be filled according to the preset filling volume and speed, completing the entire filling operation. During the filling process, the filling volume can be monitored in real time by sensors to ensure that the filling volume of each container meets the standard.

[0041] The above-described embodiments are merely illustrative of certain implementations of this utility model, and their descriptions are relatively specific and detailed. However, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of this utility model patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this utility model, and these modifications and improvements all fall within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model patent should be determined by the appended claims.
