Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of ink storage box technology, specifically a constant temperature storage box for inkjet printer ink. Background Technology

[0002] A coding machine is a software-controlled device that marks products using a non-contact method. As a special chemical preparation, coding ink is extremely sensitive to temperature fluctuations in the transportation environment. During transportation, the temperature inside the vehicle can easily rise suddenly due to external environmental factors. When the temperature exceeds 25°C, the colloidal structure inside the ink is prone to decomposition.

[0003] Currently, ink for inkjet printers is mostly transported using simple packaging such as ordinary cardboard boxes or foam boxes. There are no dedicated temperature control devices or positioning structures for the bottles. In hot seasons, only ice packs are used for short-term cooling, which cannot maintain a stable and suitable temperature range. Furthermore, since ink bottles are mostly cylindrical packaging made of PET material, they are prone to sliding and collisions during transportation. The deformation of the bottle body may cause the seal to fail, leading to ink leakage and pollution. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a constant-temperature storage box for inkjet printer ink to solve the problems mentioned in the background. This utility model has a novel structure. By setting up a cooperative structure of drive motor, rotating shaft, bracket, gear shaft, internal gear ring and placement cylinder, the placement cylinder drives the ink bottle to move in all directions during revolution and rotation, so that it can fully contact the cold source and the temperature inside the box is more uniform. At the same time, with the help of the limiting mechanism, it can automatically clamp and fix ink bottles of different sizes, avoid collisions and squeezing during movement, ensure that the ink is stored in a constant temperature and stable environment, and protect the ink performance.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a constant-temperature ink storage box for inkjet printers, comprising a box body, a partition fixedly connected to the inner wall of the box body, a rotating shaft rotatably fitted to the upper side of the partition, a bracket fixedly connected to the upper end of the rotating shaft, an internal gear ring fixedly connected to the lower side of the bracket on the inner wall of the box body, a plurality of gear shafts rotatably fitted to the lower side of the bracket, a placement cylinder fixedly connected to the upper end of the gear shaft, a limit mechanism being provided inside the placement cylinder, a drive motor being installed on the lower side of the inner wall of the box body, and a cooling module assembly being provided on the inner wall of the box body.

[0006] Furthermore, the output end of the drive motor is fixedly connected to the lower end of the rotating shaft, and the gear shaft is meshed with the inner wall of the internal gear ring.

[0007] Furthermore, the limiting mechanism includes an L-shaped connecting rod rotatably engaged with the inner wall of the placement cylinder. An installation plate is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the placement cylinder. The installation plate has multiple limiting grooves that cooperate with the L-shaped connecting rod. Clamping plates are fixedly connected to opposite sides of the multiple L-shaped connecting rods. A bearing plate is provided between the multiple clamping plates. A connecting rod is fixedly connected to the lower side of the bearing plate. A tapered plate is fixedly connected to the lower end of the connecting rod. A tension spring is sleeved on the tapered plate.

[0008] Furthermore, the connecting rod is slidably fitted on the mounting plate, and the two ends of the tension spring are fixedly connected to the lower side of the mounting plate and the upper side of the tapered plate, respectively.

[0009] Furthermore, a breathable protective cylinder is fixedly connected to the upper side of the partition, and the breathable protective cylinder cooperates with the refrigeration module assembly.

[0010] Furthermore, a lid that matches the box body is installed on the upper side of the box body.

[0011] Furthermore, the outer side of the box is equipped with multiple spring clips, and the outer side of the box cover is equipped with multiple clips that cooperate with the spring clips.

[0012] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0013] 1. This utility model, through the coordinated structure of a drive motor, rotating shaft, bracket, gear shaft, internal gear ring, and placement cylinder, enables the ink bottle to move in all directions during its revolution and rotation, ensuring full contact with the cold source and more uniform temperature inside the chamber. At the same time, in conjunction with the limiting mechanism, it can automatically clamp and fix ink bottles of different sizes, avoiding collisions and squeezing during movement, ensuring that the ink is stored in a constant temperature and stable environment, and guaranteeing ink performance.

[0014] 2. This utility model, through the combination of a cooling module component and a breathable protective cylinder, provides a stable cooling capacity, while the breathable protective cylinder ensures that the cooling capacity is evenly diffused within the chamber and reduces the intrusion of external heat, creating a constant temperature storage environment for the ink. This prevents changes in ink performance parameters such as viscosity and adhesion due to temperature variations, thereby extending the effective storage period of the ink.

[0021] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this utility model easier to understand, the present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.

[0022] Please refer to Figures 1 to 5This utility model provides a technical solution: a constant temperature storage box for inkjet printer ink, including a box body 1. A partition 2 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the box body 1. A rotating shaft 3 is rotatably fitted to the upper side of the partition 2. A bracket 4 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the rotating shaft 3. An internal gear ring 5 is fixedly connected to the lower side of the bracket 4 on the inner wall of the box body 1. Multiple gear shafts 6 are rotatably fitted to the lower side of the bracket 4. A placement cylinder 7 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the gear shaft 6. A limit mechanism 8 is provided inside the placement cylinder 7. A drive motor 9 is installed on the lower side of the inner wall of the box body 1. A cooling module assembly 10 is provided on the inner wall of the box body 1. The output end of the drive motor 9 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the rotating shaft 3. The gear shafts 6 are meshed with the inner wall of the internal gear ring 5. A breathable protective cylinder 11 is fixedly connected to the upper side of the partition 2, and the breathable protective cylinder 11 cooperates with the cooling module assembly 10. A box cover 12 that cooperates with the box body 1 is installed on the upper side of the box body 1. Multiple spring clips 13 are installed on the outside of the box body 1, and multiple card seats 14 that cooperate with the spring clips 13 are installed on the outside of the box cover 12. After the drive motor 9 starts, its output end drives the rotating shaft 3 to rotate. The rotating shaft 3 drives the bracket 4 to rotate synchronously. Since the gear shaft 6 on the lower side of the bracket 4 meshes with the internal gear ring 5 fixed on the inner wall of the box 1, when the bracket 4 rotates, the gear shaft 6 will roll along the internal gear ring 5 and rotate on its own axis at the same time. This will drive the placement cylinder 7 at the upper end of the gear shaft 6 to both revolve around the rotating shaft 3 with the bracket 4 and rotate on its own axis. When the cooling module component 10 is working, the generated cold energy diffuses into the inside of the box 1 through the ventilated protective cylinder 11 on the upper side of the partition 2. When the box cover 12 is closed, the spring buckle 13 on the outside of the box 1 engages with the card seat 14 on the outside of the box cover 12, thereby sealing the box 1. The combination of the revolution and rotation of the placement cylinder 7 can prevent the ink inside from settling and precipitating, making the ink composition more uniform, and fully contacting the cold source to make the ink temperature more uniform. The cooling module component 10, together with the ventilated protective cylinder 11, provides a constant temperature environment for the inside of the box 1, ensuring stable ink performance.

[0023] In this embodiment, the limiting mechanism 8 includes an L-shaped connecting rod 81 rotatably fitted to the inner wall of the placement cylinder 7. A mounting plate 82 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the placement cylinder 7. The mounting plate 82 has multiple limiting grooves 83 that mate with the L-shaped connecting rod 81. Clamping plates 84 are fixedly connected to opposite sides of the multiple L-shaped connecting rods 81. A bearing plate 85 is disposed between the multiple clamping plates 84. A connecting rod 86 is fixedly connected to the lower side of the bearing plate 85. A tapered plate 87 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the connecting rod 86. A tension spring 88 is sleeved on the tapered plate 87. The connecting rod 86 is slidably fitted onto the mounting plate 82. The two ends of the tension spring 88 are fixedly connected to the lower side of the mounting plate 82 and the upper side of the tapered plate 87, respectively. When the ink container is placed into the placement cylinder 7, the container rests on the support plate 85. The support plate 85 moves downward under the pressure of gravity, and the connecting rod 86 drives the conical plate 87 to move downward synchronously. The tension spring 88 is stretched. During the downward movement of the conical plate 87, its inclined surface pushes the L-shaped connecting rod 81 on the periphery to rotate along the inner wall of the placement cylinder 7. The L-shaped connecting rod 81 slides along the limiting groove 83 of the mounting plate 82, causing the clamping plates 84 on the opposite side of the multiple L-shaped connecting rods 81 to move towards the center and clamp the ink container. When the ink container is removed, the pressure on the support plate 85 disappears, the tension spring 88 contracts, and the conical plate 87 moves upward. The connecting rod 86 slides upward along the mounting plate 82, the support plate 85 resets, the L-shaped connecting rod 81 rotates in the opposite direction, and the clamping plates 84 loosen outward. Through the above process, the limiting mechanism 8 can automatically adapt to ink containers of different specifications, achieve stable clamping, and prevent the container from shaking or tipping over when the placement cylinder 7 rotates. When picking up or putting down the container, the limiting mechanism 8 can automatically reset, improving the convenience of operation.

[0024] When using the device, the ink container of the inkjet printer is placed in the placement cylinder 7. The weight of the container causes the support plate 85 to move downward, which in turn causes the conical plate 87 to move downward via the connecting rod 86. This causes the L-shaped connecting rod 81 to rotate, and the clamping plate 84 moves towards the center to clamp the container. The cooling module assembly 10 works, and the cold energy is evenly diffused into the box 1 through the breathable protective cylinder 11 to maintain a constant temperature environment. The drive motor 9 drives the rotating shaft 3 and the bracket 4 to rotate. The gear shaft 6 rotates due to its meshing with the internal gear ring 5, causing the placement cylinder 7 to revolve and rotate simultaneously, preventing ink sedimentation and ensuring full contact with the cold energy, making the ink temperature more uniform. When taking out the ink, the spring buckle 13 is opened to open the box cover 12. After taking out the container, the tension spring 88 drives the conical plate 87, the connecting rod 86, and the support plate 85 to reset. The L-shaped connecting rod 81 rotates in the opposite direction, and the clamping plate 84 is released, completing one storage and retrieval process. The entire process achieves stable storage of inkjet printer ink through constant temperature control, dynamic stirring (rotation), and adaptive fixation.

It is obvious to those skilled in the art that this utility model is not limited to the details of the above exemplary embodiments, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or basic characteristics of this utility model.

This narrative style is merely for clarity. Those skilled in the art should consider the specification as a whole, and the technical solutions in each embodiment can also be appropriately combined to form other embodiments that can be understood by those skilled in the art.
