Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of ink basins for printing presses, specifically relating to an anti-settling ink basin. Background Technology

[0002] In the current printing and ink application industry, ink basins are key equipment for storing ink. Their structural design directly affects the quality and stability of ink and the efficiency of printing production. Currently, most ink basins widely used in the market adopt the traditional U-shaped structure design. Although this structure meets the basic ink storage and transportation needs to a certain extent, it has exposed a series of problems in the actual production process.

[0003] Specifically, the U-shaped ink basin, due to its relatively fixed and limited ink flow path, causes the ink to remain in the basin for too long. This prolonged stagnation of ink easily leads to sedimentation. These sediments not only alter the ink's hue and viscosity but also cause problems such as color differences and uneven printing. Therefore, we have made improvements and proposed an anti-settling ink basin. Utility Model Content

[0025] As attached Figures 1-7 As shown, this utility model includes an inner ink basin 1 and an outer ink basin 101 disposed at the bottom of the inner ink basin 1. The inner ink basin 1 and the outer ink basin 101 are connected to realize the flow of ink from the inner ink basin 1 to the outer ink basin 101. A circulation structure 4 is provided between the bottom of the outer ink basin 101 and the inner ink basin 1. The circulation structure 4 is used to return the ink in the outer ink basin 101 to the inner ink basin 1 to realize the circulation of ink. This reduces the precipitation phenomenon caused by the ink remaining still in the ink basin for a long time. This circulation flow mechanism not only reduces the accumulation of sediment, but also improves the uniformity and stability of the ink, thereby ensuring the quality and consistency of the printed matter.

[0026] Furthermore, the bottom of the inner ink basin 1 is provided with a second outlet 108, and the inner wall of the second outlet 108 is provided with a second spiral groove 109. The second spiral groove 109 and the second outlet 108 cooperate to realize the flow of ink from the inner ink basin 1 to the outer ink basin 101. The ink in the inner ink basin 1 can flow into the outer ink basin 101 through the second outlet 108. The spiral structure of the second spiral groove 109 can guide the ink flow, so that the ink is continuously mixed during the flow process, which helps to increase the uniformity of the ink.

[0027] Furthermore, the bottom of the outer ink basin 101 is provided with a first outlet 104, and the inner wall of the first outlet 104 is provided with a first spiral groove 105. The ink in the outer ink basin 101 can flow to the circulation structure 4 through the first outlet 104. The design of the first spiral groove 105 is similar to that of the second spiral groove 109. The spiral-shaped inner wall guides the ink flow, which helps to increase the uniformity of the ink.

[0028] In other embodiments, multiple second-row outlets 108 can be provided at the bottom of the inner ink basin 1, so that the ink in the inner ink basin 1 flows into the inner bottom surface of the outer ink basin 101 from multiple second-row outlets 108, and then flows out from the first-row outlet 104, thereby achieving a better circulation flow effect.

[0029] Furthermore, the circulation structure 4 includes an ink tank 408, with a lid 401 on the top of the ink tank 408. A connector is provided between the lid 401 and the outer ink basin 101, and a conveying component is provided between the lid 401 and the inner ink basin 1. The connector is used to guide the ink in the outer ink basin 101 to the ink tank 408, while the conveying component can transport the ink in the ink tank 408 back to the inner ink basin 1. The inner diameter of the lid 401 is adapted to the outer diameter of the top of the ink tank 408, and the lid 401 is inserted into the outer surface of the top of the ink tank 408. The ink tank 408 is used to temporarily store ink.

[0030] Furthermore, the connector includes an external threaded connector 402 installed at the bottom of the outer ink basin 101 and communicating with the first outlet 104. The external threaded connector 402 is threadedly connected to an internal threaded connector 403. The bottom end of the internal threaded connector 403 is connected to a first flexible tube 404. The end of the first flexible tube 404 away from the internal threaded connector 403 passes through the lid 401 and extends into the ink tank 408. The internal threaded connector 403 and the external threaded connector 402 cooperate to connect the first flexible tube 404 to the first outlet 104, thereby allowing ink to flow into the ink tank 408 through the first outlet 104, the external threaded connector 402, the internal threaded connector 403, and the first flexible tube 404.

[0031] Furthermore, the conveying components include a connecting pipe 3 connected to the inner ink basin 1 and a circulation pump 405 installed on the top of the lid 401. The inlet pipe of the circulation pump 405 is fitted with a second hose 406. One end of the second hose 406 passes through the lid 401 and extends into the ink tank 408. The outlet pipe of the circulation pump 405 is fitted with a third hose 407. The end of the third hose 407 away from the circulation pump 405 is fitted onto the connecting pipe 3. The connection between the third hose 407 and the connecting pipe 3 and the outlet pipe of the circulation pump 405 is fixed with a clamp. The second hose 406 is also fixed with a clamp to the inlet pipe of the circulation pump 405. The circulation pump 405 is installed on the top of the lid 401 by bolts. The end of the connecting pipe 3 located inside the inner ink basin 1 is bent downwards.

[0032] Furthermore, several fasteners are provided between the inner ink basin 1 and the outer ink basin 101. The fasteners are used to fix the inner ink basin 1 and the outer ink basin 101. The fasteners include a latch body 2 provided on the side of the inner ink basin 1 and a latch hook 201 installed on the side of the outer ink basin 101 and fastened to the latch body 2. The latch body 2 and the latch hook 201 can be fastened together by fastening each other. After the latch body 2 and the latch hook 201 are separated, the inner ink basin 1 and the outer ink basin 101 can be separated, which facilitates cleaning the inside of the outer ink basin 101. The latch body 2 and the latch hook 201 are existing components. Their specific structure, fastening and separation methods are all existing technologies, and will not be described in detail in this application.

[0033] Furthermore, an mounting plate 106 is installed on the side of the outer ink basin 101, and a mounting hole 107 is provided on the mounting plate 106. The mounting hole 107 is used to connect the outer ink basin 101 to the printing press in conjunction with bolts.

[0034] Furthermore, an inner groove 102 is provided on the outer periphery of the bottom of the inner ink basin 1, and a limiting step 103 is provided on the inner wall of the top of the inner ink basin 1. The inner wall of the limiting step 103 is inserted into the outer surface of the inner groove 102. The insertion of the inner groove 102 and the limiting step 103 can realize the horizontal limitation between the inner ink basin 1 and the outer ink basin 101, so as to further improve the stability between the inner ink basin 1 and the outer ink basin 101. Because of the mutual insertion of the inner groove 102 and the limiting step 103, the inner ink basin 1 and the outer ink basin 101 are positioned and constrained in the horizontal direction, which restricts the relative movement of the two in the horizontal direction, thereby improving the structural stability.

[0035] The mounting plate 106 is welded together with the outer ink basin 101. The latch body 2 is connected to the inner ink basin 1 by welding or bolts. The latch hook 201 is connected to the outer ink basin 101 by welding or bolts. The external threaded connector 402 is welded to the bottom of the outer ink basin 101.

[0036] In use, ink is poured into the inner ink basin 1. The ink flows into the outer ink basin 101 through the second outlet 108 and the second spiral groove 109. The ink in the outer ink basin 101 flows to the external threaded connector 402 through the first outlet 104 and the first spiral groove 105, and then flows into the ink tank 408 through the internal threaded connector 403 and the first hose 404. The ink in the ink tank 408 is transported to the connecting pipe 3 through the second hose 406, the circulation pump 405 and the third hose 407, and then enters the inner ink basin 1 through the connecting pipe 3 to realize the circulation of ink.
