Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of ink manufacturing technology, and in particular to the optimized design of ink mixing structure. Background Technology

[0002] In the printing industry, ink, as one of the core materials, directly determines the color reproduction, clarity, and overall quality of printed materials. The uniformity of ink components is a key factor affecting ink quality. Only when the various components of the ink, such as pigments, binders, solvents, and additives, are fully and uniformly mixed can the ink exhibit stable performance during the printing process, such as good flowability, suitable drying speed, and accurate color reproduction.

[0003] Most existing ink mixing and mixing devices employ traditional stirring structures, which have limitations in terms of impeller design and stirring methods. During the stirring process, the impeller often only provides localized stirring of the ink, making it suitable only for mixing small amounts of ink. In the ink mixing stirrer disclosed in Chinese patent document CN104587870A, a fixed stirring structure is used. The height of the stirrer is adjusted by bolts connecting the main support to the crossbar. The stirrer uses a stirring shaft to drive the blades to rotate, achieving ink mixing. Its core lies in using an adjustable-height stirring mechanism to perform single-point stirring of the ink container, relying on the rotational motion of the stirring blades to break up ink stratification.

[0004] However, the aforementioned device has the following drawbacks. Firstly, the device mixes ink solely through the rotational motion of a single-axis stirring blade, which can easily create mixing dead zones at the container edges, resulting in uneven ink component distribution. This is particularly problematic for high-viscosity inks or mixtures of multiple pigments. Secondly, when adjusting the height of the crossbar by using bolt holes and through holes to stir ink at different heights, the bolts must be manually removed and repositioned, which is cumbersome and lacks precision. Furthermore, after prolonged use, the bolt holes are prone to wear, causing the crossbar to loosen and affecting stirring stability. Utility Model Content

[0005] To overcome the shortcomings of the prior art, a flip-type intelligent mixing and ink-spreading device is provided.

[0006] This utility model is achieved through the following technical solution: a flip-type intelligent mixing and ink-spreading device, including an ink tank and a fixed frame. The two ends of the ink tank are rotatably connected to the fixed frame. The fixed frame is equipped with a self-rotation drive assembly, a gear drive assembly, and a flip gear. The gear drive assembly includes a transmission gear and a drive motor that drives the transmission gear to rotate. The transmission gear meshes with the flip gear. The self-rotation drive assembly includes a self-rotation motor, a rotating shaft, and a drive gear. The self-rotation motor drives the drive gear to rotate through the rotating shaft. The drive gear meshes with the self-rotation gear fixed to one end of the ink tank.

[0007] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the fixing frame includes two connected side plates, a bottom support plate, and a cover plate support plate; the cover plate support plate and the bottom support plate are respectively assembled at both ends of the ink tank; the two side plates are respectively connected and fixed to the gear drive assembly and the self-rotation drive assembly.

[0010] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, two ink cans are provided, symmetrically arranged in a fixed frame. One end of the rotating gears of the two ink cans is arranged in a mirror image, and both rotating gears mesh with the drive gear.

[0011] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, two fixed wall plates are provided parallel to each other on the outer side of the two side plates, and the self-rotating motor and the drive motor are respectively mounted on the outer side of the two fixed wall plates.

[0012] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, both the driving gear and the rotating gear are bevel gears; the diameter of the driving gear is smaller than the diameter of the rotating gear.

[0013] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the diameter of the flipping gear is larger than the diameter of the transmission gear.

[0014] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the central axis of the flipping gear coincides with the central axis of the rotating gear.

[0015] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, one end of the rotating shaft is connected to the output shaft of the self-rotating motor through a bushing, and the other end is mounted on the wall panel and side panel through a bearing.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0017] A flip-type intelligent ink mixing and distributing device enables the ink tank to simultaneously rotate and revolve through the synergistic action of a self-rotating drive component and a gear drive component. This combination of two motion modes allows for more comprehensive and thorough ink mixing, effectively improving ink distribution and ensuring uniform ink mixing to meet the high-quality requirements of printing and other applications. The device uses a rigid frame and gear transmission system instead of a bolt adjustment mechanism, eliminating the need for bolt height adjustments. The self-rotating drive component and gear drive component are connected via gear transmission, avoiding positioning loosening issues caused by bolt hole wear.

[0018] Furthermore, the fixture has a reasonable structural design, providing stable support for the ink tank while facilitating the installation and fixing of the drive components. This makes the entire device compact, stable in operation, and easy to maintain and operate.

[0019] Furthermore, the rotating base increases the connection stability between the ink tank and the drive components, enabling better power transmission, ensuring the smooth rotation of the ink tank, reducing vibration and noise caused by unstable connection, and improving the reliability of the device operation.

[0020] Furthermore, the cap design not only ensures the flexibility of the ink tank's movement but also effectively prevents ink leakage during movement, keeping the inside of the device clean. At the same time, it plays a certain positioning role for the ink tank, ensuring that the ink tank maintains a stable position during movement.

[0021] Furthermore, the two ink tanks allow for the simultaneous mixing of more inks, improving work efficiency. The symmetrical arrangement and the design of one drive gear driving two rotating gears make the device structure more compact, the power transmission more efficient, the number of drive components reduced, and the cost lowered.

[0022] Furthermore, the fixed wall panel makes the motor installation more stable, reduces the impact of motor vibration on other components of the device, facilitates motor heat dissipation, extends the motor's service life, and makes it easier to maintain and repair the motor, thus improving the maintainability of the device.

[0023] Furthermore, the use of bevel gears can ensure the smoothness and reliability of the ink tank's rotation transmission, reduce vibration and noise during the transmission process, and the speed reduction transmission design can reasonably control the rotation speed of the ink tank according to actual needs, making the ink mixing process more uniform and thorough, and improving the ink uniformity quality.

[0024] Furthermore, the diameter of the flipping gear is larger than that of the transmission gear, which slows down the flipping speed, allowing the ink to exchange and flow fully, improving the mixing quality, and ensuring uniform and stable printing ink; it can reduce the impact and vibration of the device, reduce the risk of component damage, and make the operation more stable; it also makes the movement of the ink tank more controllable and stable, enhancing the overall reliability of the device.

[0025] Furthermore, the design of coinciding central axes can reduce the eccentric force and vibration caused by misalignment of the axes during the movement of the ink tank, improve the stability and reliability of the device operation, ensure that the ink tank can flip and rotate in the expected manner, and guarantee the ink mixing effect.

[0026] Furthermore, the use of bushings and bearings can effectively reduce wear and friction on the rotating shaft during rotation, reduce energy loss, improve power transmission efficiency, extend the service life of the rotating shaft and related components, and at the same time ensure the smoothness and accuracy of the rotating shaft, making the rotation of the ink tank more stable and reliable.

Detailed Implementation

[0034] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be explained and described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the following embodiments are only preferred embodiments of the present utility model and not all of them. Other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments in the implementation methods without creative effort are all within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0035] In the following description, terms such as “inner,” “outer,” “upper,” “lower,” “left,” and “right” are used only to facilitate the description of the embodiments and simplify the description, and are not intended to indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this utility model.

[0036] like Figures 1 to 3As shown, a flip-type intelligent ink mixing and distributing device mainly consists of an ink tank 1 and a fixed frame 2. The ink tank 1 is rotatably connected to the fixed frame 2 at both ends. The fixed frame 2 is equipped with a rotation drive assembly 3, a gear drive assembly 4, and a flip gear 5. In the gear drive assembly 4, the drive motor 42 drives the transmission gear 41 to rotate. Because the transmission gear 41 meshes with the flip gear 5, it further drives the flip gear 5 to rotate, thus realizing the flipping action of the ink tank 1. In the rotation drive assembly 3, the rotation motor 31 drives the drive gear 33 to rotate via the rotating shaft 32. The drive gear 33 meshes with the rotation gear 6 fixed at one end of the ink tank 1, causing the ink tank 1 to rotate. By combining the flipping and rotation of the ink tank 1, the ink can be mixed more comprehensively and thoroughly, effectively improving the ink distribution effect and ensuring the uniformity of ink mixing, meeting the high ink quality requirements of printing and other applications.

[0037] The mounting bracket 2 includes two connected side plates 21, a bottom support plate 22, and a cover support plate 23. The cover support plate 23 and the bottom support plate 22 are respectively mounted on both ends of the ink tank 1. The two side plates 21 are respectively connected and fixed to the gear drive assembly 4 and the rotation drive assembly 3. The bottom support plate 22 and the cover support plate 23 provide support for the ink tank 1. The two side plates 21 serve as connecting components, integrating the gear drive assembly 4 and the rotation drive assembly 3 with the mounting bracket to form a complete support and drive structure. This structural design is reasonable, providing stable support for the ink tank 1, while facilitating the installation and fixing of the drive components. It makes the entire device compact, stable in operation, and easy to maintain and operate.

[0038] A rotating base 11 is provided at one end of the ink tank 1 near the base support plate 22, and the rotating base 11 is connected to the rotation gear 6. When the rotation gear 6 rotates under the drive of the rotation drive assembly 3, the power is transmitted to the ink tank 1 through the rotating base 11, causing the ink tank 1 to rotate. The rotating base 11 increases the connection stability between the ink tank 1 and the drive assembly, can better transmit power, ensure the smooth rotation of the ink tank 1, reduce vibration and noise caused by unstable connection, and improve the reliability of the device operation.

[0039] A pressure cap 12 is connected to one end of the ink tank 1 near the cover plate support 23, and the pressure cap 12 is rotatably connected to the cover plate support 23. When the ink tank 1 flips and rotates, the rotatable connection between the pressure cap 12 and the cover plate support 23 ensures flexible rotation at one end of the ink tank 1, while also providing a certain degree of sealing and positioning for the ink tank 1. This design ensures the flexibility of the ink tank 1's movement, effectively prevents ink leakage during movement, maintains the cleanliness of the device's interior, and provides a certain degree of positioning for the ink tank 1, ensuring its stable position during movement.

[0040] Two ink tanks 1 are symmetrically arranged within the fixed frame 2. The rotating gears 6 on the two ink tanks 1 are mirror-shaped at one end, and both rotating gears 6 mesh with the drive gear 33. The drive gear 33 in the rotation drive assembly 3 simultaneously meshes with both rotating gears 6, driving the two ink tanks 1 to rotate. Simultaneously, the gear drive assembly 4 drives the flipping gear 5 to rotate, achieving the flipping of the two ink tanks 1. Using two ink tanks 1 allows for the simultaneous mixing of more inks, improving work efficiency. Furthermore, the symmetrical arrangement and the design of one drive gear 33 driving two rotating gears 6 make the device structure more compact, power transmission more efficient, reduce the number of drive components, and lower costs.

[0041] Two fixed wall plates 10 are provided parallel to each other on the outer sides of the two side plates 21. The self-rotating motor 31 and the drive motor 42 are respectively mounted on the outer sides of the two fixed wall plates 10. The fixed wall plates 10 provide mounting positions for the self-rotating motor 31 and the drive motor 42, while isolating the motors from other parts of the device, facilitating motor heat dissipation and maintenance. This arrangement makes the motor installation more stable, reduces the impact of motor vibration on other components of the device, facilitates motor heat dissipation, extends the motor's service life, and also facilitates motor maintenance and repair, improving the maintainability of the device.

[0042] Both the drive gear 33 and the rotating gear 6 are bevel gears, with the diameter of the drive gear 33 being smaller than that of the rotating gear 6. The rotating motor 31 drives the drive gear 33 to rotate via the rotating shaft 32. The drive gear 33 meshes with the rotating gear 6. Because the diameter of the drive gear 33 is smaller than that of the rotating gear 6, speed reduction is achieved according to the gear transmission principle, allowing for reasonable control of the rotation speed of the ink tank 1. The use of bevel gears ensures the smoothness and reliability of the ink tank 1's rotation transmission, reducing vibration and noise during transmission. Furthermore, the speed reduction design allows for reasonable control of the ink tank 1's rotation speed according to actual needs, resulting in a more uniform and thorough ink mixing process and improved ink uniformity.

[0043] The diameter of the flipping gear 5 is larger than that of the transmission gear 41. The drive motor 42 drives the transmission gear 41 to rotate, and the transmission gear 41 drives the flipping gear 5 to rotate. Since the diameter of the flipping gear 5 is larger than that of the transmission gear 41, according to the gear transmission principle, speed reduction transmission is achieved, making the flipping speed of the ink tank 1 relatively slow.

[0044] Firstly, a slower tumbling speed allows the ink in ink tank 1 more time to exchange positions and flow during the tumbling process, enabling better mixing of different layers of ink. This avoids uneven ink mixing caused by excessively fast tumbling speed, thus improving the quality of ink mixing and ensuring the uniformity and stability of ink during printing. Secondly, it reduces impact and vibration. If the tumbling speed is too fast, ink tank 1 will generate a large inertial force during the tumbling process, causing strong impact and vibration to the device. This will not only affect the service life of the device but may also cause ink to splash out, resulting in waste and pollution. A slower tumbling speed can effectively reduce such impact and vibration, making the device operate more smoothly and reducing the risk of damage to various components. Thirdly, it enhances the stability of the device. A slower tumbling speed makes the movement of ink tank 1 more controllable and stable, reducing the movement deviation and instability factors that may occur due to excessive speed. This ensures that the entire ink mixing and homogenizing device can operate stably as expected, improving the overall reliability and stability of the device.

[0045] The central axis of the flipping gear 5 coincides with the central axis of the rotating gear 6. Driven by the gear drive assembly 4 and the rotation drive assembly 3, the flipping gear 5 and the rotating gear 6 respectively drive the ink tank 1 to flip and rotate. Since their central axes coincide, the consistency of the motion center of the ink tank 1 during flipping and rotation is ensured. This design can reduce the eccentric force and vibration caused by the misalignment of the axes during the movement of the ink tank 1, improve the stability and reliability of the device operation, ensure that the ink tank 1 can flip and rotate in the expected manner, and guarantee the ink mixing effect.

[0046] One end of the rotating shaft 32 is connected to the output shaft of the self-rotating motor 31 via a bushing 321, and the other end passes through the wall panel and side plate 21 via a bearing 322. The output shaft of the self-rotating motor 31 drives the rotating shaft 32 to rotate via the bushing 321, and the other end of the rotating shaft 32 achieves stable rotation on the wall panel and side plate 21 via the bearing 322, thereby driving the drive gear 33 to rotate. The use of bushing 321 and bearing 322 can effectively reduce the wear and friction of the rotating shaft 32 during rotation, reduce energy loss, improve the efficiency of power transmission, extend the service life of the rotating shaft 32 and related components, and at the same time ensure the smoothness and accuracy of the rotation of the rotating shaft 32, making the self-rotation of the ink tank 1 more stable and reliable.

[0047] In practical use, the ink to be mixed is poured into ink tank 1, and the self-rotating motor 31 and drive motor 42 are started. The self-rotating motor 31 drives the drive gear 33 to rotate via the rotating shaft 32. The drive gear 33 meshes with the self-rotating gear 6, causing ink tank 1 to rotate. The drive motor 42 drives the transmission gear 41 to rotate, and the transmission gear 41 meshes with the tilting gear 5, causing ink tank 1 to tilt. Through the synergistic effect of rotation and tilting, the ink is thoroughly mixed. The operator can adjust the motor speed to control the rotation and tilting speed of ink tank 1 to achieve the best ink uniformity.

[0048] The above are merely specific embodiments of this utility model, but the scope of protection of this utility model is not limited thereto. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model includes, but is not limited to, the contents described in the accompanying drawings and the specific embodiments above. Any modifications that do not depart from the functional and structural principles of this utility model will be included within the scope of the claims.
