Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of printing ink color matching, and more specifically, it relates to a printing ink color matching device. Background Technology

[0002] Printed materials are very common in people's lives. Through printed materials, people can obtain a lot of information. When printing, different parts of the printing may require different colors. Therefore, it is necessary to adjust the ink according to the printing needs. In the process of ink adjustment, different colors of ink are generally mixed. The color after uniform mixing is the desired color. Therefore, in the production process of printing ink, it is often necessary to use a color mixing device to conduct color mixing experiments on a small amount of ink. After obtaining the desired color, the ink can be produced. During the color mixing process, there may be a possibility of color mixing failure. Therefore, it is necessary to frequently change the surface on which the ink is placed to avoid affecting subsequent color mixing. In addition, during the color mixing process, the color mixing personnel need to control the amount of each color ink used so that it is convenient to mass-produce the required ink after the color mixing is completed.

[0015] (III) Beneficial Effects

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the present invention provides a printing ink color matching device, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0017] 1. This utility model, by setting a fixed structure, allows the required color-mixing material to be placed in a pigment bottle when mixing ink. The pigment bottle is then installed in a fixed sleeve and placed in a slot on the main frame. The pigment bottle is thus fixed by the cooperation of the mounting frame and the fixed sleeve, preventing the operator from accidentally knocking over the pigment bottle during color mixing, thereby facilitating the smooth mixing of ink.

[0018] 2. This utility model, through the setting of a fixed structure, allows for the placement of the required color-mixing material into a pigment bottle during ink color matching. The pigment bottle is then installed within a fixed sleeve. Based on the amount of pigment in the bottle, the threaded rod is rotated, causing the fixed sleeve to move through the threaded connection between the threaded rod and the fixed sleeve, bringing the lower surface of the fixed sleeve flush with the pigment surface. This allows the pointer on the extension rod of the fixed sleeve to align with the scale line on the mounting bracket, marking the initial amount of pigment. After successful color matching, the threaded rod is rotated again, moving the fixed sleeve until it is flush with the pigment surface once more. The position of the pointer and scale line is then observed again to determine the amount of pigment used. This facilitates the recording of pigment usage and subsequent production of the color-mixed ink.

[0019] 3. This utility model, through the setting of a cleaning structure, when color matching fails or is completed, the motor drives the rotating column to rotate, thereby causing the color matching tray to flip, so that the side with pigment faces the collection box. The second electric push rod set on the support leg extends, driving the mounting plate and the nozzle to move to the lower end of the color matching tray. The external water pump set on the water tank pumps the solvent for dissolving the raw materials into the mounting plate, and sprays it onto the color matching tray through the nozzle. The second electric push rod retracts and resets, and the first electric push rod extends, driving the cleaning tray and the cleaning cloth at the upper end of the cleaning tray to rise and contact the color matching tray. The cleaning cloth absorbs and cleans the pigment on the color matching tray, thereby facilitating the quick switching and use of the color matching tray. Attached Figure Description

According to the amount of pigment in the pigment bottle 4, the threaded rod 8 is rotated, and the fixing sleeve 7 is moved through the threaded connection between the threaded rod 8 and the fixing sleeve 7, so that the lower surface of the fixing sleeve 7 is flush with the pigment surface. Thus, the pointer 20 set on the extension rod 19 of the fixing sleeve 7 and the scale line 18 on the mounting bracket 6 cooperate to mark the initial amount of pigment. After the pigment is successfully mixed, the threaded rod 8 is rotated again to move the fixing sleeve 7, so that it is flush with the pigment surface again. The position of the pointer 20 and the scale line 18 are observed again to determine the amount of pigment used, and the amount of pigment used is recorded.

Based on the amount of pigment in the pigment bottle 4, rotate the threaded rod 8. The threaded connection between the threaded rod 8 and the fixing sleeve 7 will move the fixing sleeve 7, making the lower surface of the fixing sleeve 7 flush with the pigment surface. Thus, the pointer 20 on the extension rod 19 of the fixing sleeve 7 will cooperate with the scale line 18 on the mounting bracket 6 to mark the initial amount of pigment. After the pigment is successfully mixed, continue to rotate the threaded rod 8 to move the fixing sleeve 7 until it is flush with the pigment surface again. Then, observe the position of the pointer 20 and the scale line 18 again to determine the amount of pigment used and record the amount of pigment used.

[0039] When color matching fails or is completed, the motor 17 drives the rotating column 16 to rotate, thereby causing the color palette 3 to flip so that the side with pigment faces the collection box 11. The second electric push rod 22 on the support leg 10 extends, moving the mounting plate 13 and the nozzle 14 to the lower end of the color palette 3. The external water pump on the water tank 24 pumps the solvent for dissolving the raw materials into the mounting plate 13, which is then sprayed onto the color palette 3 through the nozzle 14. The second electric push rod 22 retracts and resets, and the first electric push rod 21 extends, causing the cleaning plate 12 and the cleaning cloth 23 at the upper end of the cleaning plate 12 to rise and contact the color palette 3. The cleaning cloth 23 then adsorbs and cleans the pigment on the color palette 3.
