Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the technical field of printing ink stirring apparatus, and in particular to a printing ink stirring apparatus. Background Technology
[0002] The mixing quality of printing inks directly determines the color saturation, uniformity, and adhesion of printed materials, making it an indispensable and crucial process in printing production. Printing inks are typically composed of pigments, resins, solvents, and various additives mixed in specific proportions. Their composition is complex, and the physicochemical properties of each component differ significantly. For example, pigment particles are prone to agglomeration, and the compatibility of resins and solvents needs to be improved through thorough mixing. This places stringent requirements on the mixing device for efficient dispersion, uniform mixing, and stable control of the system's state. Currently, the printing ink mixing devices commonly used in the industry have many limitations. Traditional paddle-type agitators rely on unidirectional rotation, which is insufficient for breaking up particle agglomerations in high-viscosity inks or inks containing a high proportion of solid particles. This can easily lead to dead zones in the agitation, resulting in uneven ink composition distribution and directly affecting the consistency of color concentration during printing. While high-speed shear agitators can disperse particles through the shear force generated by high-speed rotation, excessive local shear force often disrupts the stability of the ink system, causing excessively rapid solvent evaporation or resin molecular chain breakage, affecting the viscosity and rheological properties of the ink. Some agitators use an open design, which easily causes solvent evaporation during agitation. This not only pollutes the working environment and endangers the health of operators but also changes the ink concentration ratio, requiring frequent shutdowns for adjustments and reducing production efficiency.
[0003] Furthermore, existing devices have significant limitations in adaptability, mostly only capable of stirring inks of specific types or viscosity ranges. When switching to different ink formulations or types, the device must be thoroughly cleaned; otherwise, residual ink will contaminate the new batch of material, increasing operational complexity and time costs. Simultaneously, the lack of precise parameter control functions prevents real-time adjustment of stirring speed, time, and temperature based on ink type, making it difficult to ensure consistent stirring quality across different batches of ink, thus affecting the stability of subsequent printing processes. Those skilled in the art provide a printing ink stirring device to address the problems mentioned in the background section. Utility Model Content
[0004] To address the problems mentioned in the background art, this application provides a printing ink stirring device.
[0005] The printing ink stirring device provided in this application adopts the following technical solution:
[0006] A printing ink stirring device includes a warm water chamber, in which heating rods are fixedly installed near both sides. Four ink supply pipes pass through one side of the warm water chamber. A protective inclined frame is connected to one side of the warm water chamber. A heating resistance wire is fixedly installed inside the protective inclined frame, and the ink supply pipes pass through the interior of the protective inclined frame. A control valve is provided at one end of each ink supply pipe.
[0007] Preferably, an ink reservoir is fixedly installed on the top of the protective inclined frame.
[0008] Preferably, an ink inlet pipe is connected to the outside of the ink storage cylinder, and a rotating motor is fixedly installed on one side of the ink storage cylinder.
[0009] Preferably, one end of the output shaft of the rotary motor passes through the interior of the ink storage cylinder, and a rotating rod is fixedly installed at one end of the output shaft.
[0010] Preferably, a connecting rod is fixedly installed on the outside of the rotating rod, and a scraper is fixedly installed on the outside of the connecting rod.
[0011] In summary, this application includes the following beneficial technical effects: The heating rod in the warm water chamber is energized and heats up, maintaining the water inside the chamber at a suitable temperature, creating a constant temperature environment. Four ink supply tubes run through the warm water chamber; under the continuous constant temperature of the warm water, the ink flowing through the ink supply tubes maintains good fluidity, preventing condensation due to increased viscosity caused by excessively low temperatures. Simultaneously, the ink supply tubes run through the interior of the protective inclined frame; the heating resistance wire inside the frame generates heat, providing secondary heating and insulation for the ink supply tubes, further enhancing the anti-condensation effect and ensuring the ink remains stable throughout its transport path, effectively preventing blockage of the ink supply tubes. The ink storage cylinder serves as the core area for ink mixing. Attached Figure Description

[0017] The illustrative embodiments and descriptions of the present invention are provided herein to explain the invention, but are not intended to limit the invention.

Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention according to the specific circumstances.
[0019] It should be understood that the terms "comprising / including," "consisting of," or any other variations are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such that a product, apparatus, process, or method that comprises a list of elements includes not only those elements but may also include, where necessary, other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such a product, apparatus, process, or method. Without further limitation, an element defined by the phrases "comprising / including," "consisting of," does not exclude the presence of additional identical elements in the product, apparatus, process, or method that includes said element.
[0020] It should also be understood that the terms "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device, component or structure referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed or operated in a specific orientation, and should not be construed as a limitation of the present invention.
[0021] Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of this invention, "a plurality of" means two or more, unless otherwise explicitly specified.
[0022] like Figures 1-3As shown, a printing ink stirring device includes a warm water chamber 1. Heating rods 3 are fixedly installed inside the warm water chamber 1 near both sides. Four ink supply pipes 2 pass through one side of the warm water chamber 1. A protective inclined frame 4 is connected to one side of the warm water chamber 1. A heating resistance wire 8 is fixedly installed inside the protective inclined frame 4. The ink supply pipes 2 pass through the interior of the protective inclined frame 4. A control valve 9 is provided at one end of the ink supply pipe 2.
[0023] In this embodiment, an ink reservoir 5 is fixedly installed on the top of the protective inclined frame 4.
[0024] In this embodiment, an ink inlet pipe 7 is connected to the outside of the ink storage cylinder 5, and a rotating motor 6 is fixedly installed on one side of the ink storage cylinder 5.
[0025] In this embodiment, one end of the output shaft of the rotating motor 6 passes through the interior of the ink storage cylinder 5, and a rotating rod 10 is fixedly installed on one end of the output shaft.
[0026] In this embodiment, a connecting rod 11 is fixedly installed on the outside of the rotating rod 10, and a scraper 12 is fixedly installed on the outside of the connecting rod 11.
[0027] The implementation principle of the printing ink stirring device in this embodiment is as follows: When the device is running, the heating rod 3 in the warm water chamber 1 is energized and heats up, maintaining the water inside the warm water chamber 1 at a suitable temperature, forming a constant temperature environment. Four ink supply pipes 2 pass through the warm water chamber 1. Under the continuous constant temperature of the warm water, the ink flowing through the ink supply pipes 2 always maintains good fluidity, avoiding condensation due to viscosity increase caused by excessively low temperature. At the same time, the ink supply pipes 2 pass through the interior of the protective inclined frame 4. The heating resistance wire 8 inside the protective inclined frame 4 is energized to generate heat, providing secondary heating and insulation for the ink supply pipes 2, further enhancing the anti-condensation effect, ensuring that the ink remains stable in the conveying path, and effectively preventing blockage of the ink supply pipes 2. The ink storage cylinder 5 serves as the core area for ink stirring. After the rotating motor 6 at the top of the cylinder is started, the output shaft drives the rotating rod 10 to rotate at high speed inside the ink storage cylinder 5. The connecting rod 11 outside the rotating rod 10 rotates synchronously with the rotating rod 10. The scraper 12 outside the connecting rod 11 rotates close to the inner wall of the ink storage cylinder 5. During the stirring process, the scraper 12 can promptly scrape off the ink adhering to the inner wall of the ink storage cylinder 5, preventing ink from accumulating and solidifying on the cylinder wall, ensuring the cleanliness of the inside of the ink storage cylinder 5, reducing uneven stirring and space occupation caused by ink accumulation on the inner wall, and improving stirring efficiency. The ink inlet pipe 7 outside the ink storage cylinder 5 can replenish new ink at any time. The stirring structure driven by the rotating motor 6 can quickly and evenly mix the newly added ink with the existing ink. Combined with the ink flowability under constant temperature environment, the stirring time is shortened. The control valve 9 at one end of the ink supply pipe 2 can accurately control the ink output. Combined with the anti-clogging design of the ink supply pipe 2, the ink delivery is smoother, reducing downtime for cleaning due to blockage and significantly improving overall work efficiency. In addition, the coordinated design of the ink storage cylinder 5 and the ink supply tube 2 realizes the integrated process of ink mixing and conveying, avoiding the secondary ink processing steps caused by the separation of mixing and conveying in traditional devices, and further improving the continuity and efficiency of work.
[0028] Finally, the following points should be noted: First, in the description of this application, it should be noted that, unless otherwise specified and limited, the terms "installation", "connection", and "linkage" should be interpreted broadly, and can be mechanical or electrical connections, or internal connections between two components, or direct connections.
