Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of ink manufacturing technology, and in particular to a universal scraping device for a three-roll mill. Background Technology

[0002] The main tasks of the three-roll mill are grinding, dispersing, and homogenizing. Its mission is to mix the solid particles (such as pigments) and liquids (such as resins, solvents, and other binders) in the ink to an extremely uniform degree, and to completely break down pigment agglomerates to achieve very small particle sizes. Finally, the finely ground ink adheres to the third, fastest-moving roller and is scraped off by a doctor blade, resulting in a very fine and uniform finished ink.

[0003] For existing three-roll mills, the ink is squeezed to the ends of the rollers due to the mutual grinding between the rollers. Some of the ink will stick to the ends of the rollers. Because of the need to leave room for rotation, this position does not contact other rollers. The ink at this position is not ground sufficiently, and ink splattering occurs. Due to the high speed of the roller rotation, ink is also easily splashed out, resulting in waste and increasing the number of times the ink is ground. Utility Model Content

[0004] This invention aims to solve the technical problems existing in the prior art. To this end, this invention proposes a universal scraper for a three-roller mill, capable of scraping off ink from the ends of the rollers to alleviate ink splattering.

[0005] A three-roller universal doctor blade device according to an embodiment of the present invention includes:

[0006] The mounting cylinder includes a first cylinder and a second cylinder connected to each other. The axis of the first cylinder is perpendicular to the axis of the second cylinder. The first cylinder is provided with a first threaded post, the axis of which is parallel to the axis of the first cylinder. The first threaded post is used for threaded connection to the threaded hole of the side frame of the three-roll mill. The second cylinder is provided with a through hole. The first cylinder is provided with a first threaded hole communicating with the through hole. The axis of the through hole and the axis of the first threaded hole are parallel to the axis of the second cylinder. The first cylinder is also provided with a second threaded hole, the axis of which is perpendicular to the axis of the first cylinder and the axis of the second cylinder.

[0007] The connecting post has one end extending into the through hole and the other end equipped with a scraper;

[0008] The first bolt is threadedly connected to the first threaded hole, and a nut is provided on the outer periphery of the first bolt. The first bolt is used to abut and limit the end of the connecting column.

[0009] The second bolt is threaded into the second threaded hole. The second bolt is used to abut against the outer peripheral wall of the connecting post to press the connecting post tight.

[0010] The universal scraper device for a three-roll mill according to this embodiment of the present invention has at least the following beneficial effects: By setting up a universal scraper device, ink can be scraped from the end of the roller. After being scraped off, the ink drips into the ink collection tank of the three-roll mill. Furthermore, the scraper blade of the universal scraper device can rotate around the axis of the second cylinder or move linearly along the axis of the second cylinder, thereby adjusting its position and enabling it to scrape ink from the roller 1 in different postures. This universal scraper device, through the ingenious combination of linear and rotational dual adjustment mechanisms, endows the scraper blade with multi-degree-of-freedom adjustment capabilities, allowing it to adapt to various working conditions in the optimal posture, achieving precise, efficient, and clean scraping of ink from the end of the roller.

[0032] The third bolt is 500. Detailed Implementation

[0033] Reference Figure 4 As shown in the figure, a universal scraper for a three-roll mill, according to an embodiment of the present invention, includes a mounting cylinder 100, a connecting column 200, a first bolt 300, and a second bolt 400. This device aims to efficiently remove ink accumulated on the end face of the three-roll mill rollers, preventing it from overflowing and contaminating the equipment or affecting product quality, and guiding the scraped ink to a recovery tank, thus achieving clean production and material conservation.

[0034] Reference Figures 4 to 6As shown, the mounting cylinder 100 is L-shaped and includes a first cylinder 110 and a second cylinder 120 connected to each other. The first cylinder 110 and the second cylinder 120 are connected by welding. The axis of the first cylinder 110 is perpendicular to the axis of the second cylinder 120. The first cylinder 110 is provided with a first threaded post 121, and the first cylinder 110 and the first threaded post 121 are connected by welding. The axis of the first threaded post 121 is parallel to the axis of the first cylinder 110. The first threaded post 121 is used for threaded connection to the threaded hole 3 of the side frame 2 of the three-roll mill. The second cylinder 120 is provided with a through hole 122. The first cylinder 110 is provided with a first threaded hole 111 communicating with the through hole 122. The axis of the through hole 122 and the axis of the first threaded hole 111 are parallel to the axis of the second cylinder 120, respectively. The first cylinder 110 is also provided with a second threaded hole 112. The axis of the second threaded hole 112 is perpendicular to the axis of the first cylinder 110 and the axis of the second cylinder 120. One end of the connecting post 200 extends into the through hole 122, and the other end is provided with a scraper 210, which abuts against the end position of the roller. The first bolt 300 is threaded into the first threaded hole 111. A nut 310 is also provided on the outer periphery of the first bolt 300. The first bolt 300 is used to abut against the end of the connecting column 200, thereby limiting the movement of the connecting column 200. Rotating the first bolt 300 allows for fine adjustment of the distance between the scraper 210 and the roller 1. Tightening the nut 310 locks the position of the first bolt 300, preventing it from loosening. The second bolt 400 is threaded into the second threaded hole 112. The second bolt 400 abuts against the outer peripheral wall of the connecting column 200 to press and fix the connecting column 200. After loosening the second bolt 400, the connecting column 200 can rotate around the axis of the second cylinder 120 to adjust its posture and position.

[0035] This embodiment, by setting up a universal scraper, can achieve ink scraping at the end of the roller. After the ink is scraped off, it drips into the ink collection tank of the three-roll mill. Furthermore, the scraper blade 210 of the universal scraper can rotate around the axis of the second cylinder 120, and can also move linearly along the axis of the second cylinder 120 (e.g., ...). Figure 4 (As indicated by the arrow), thereby adjusting the position to scrape ink off the roller 1 in different postures. This universal scraping device, through the ingenious combination of linear and rotational dual adjustment mechanisms, gives the scraper 2 more than 10 degrees of freedom, enabling it to adapt to various working conditions in the best posture, and achieving precise, efficient, and clean scraping of ink off the end of the roller.

[0036] This embodiment also provides a three-roll mill, including the aforementioned universal doctor blade device. The universal doctor blade device is installed on the three-roll mill, as described above. Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the side frame 2 is located on both sides of the roller 1. The side frame 2 is provided with threaded holes 3, and the first threaded post 121 is threadedly connected to the threaded holes 3.

[0037] Reference Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments, the end of the connecting post 200 is provided with a flat plate 220, which is connected to the connecting post 200 by welding. The scraper 210 is connected to the flat plate 220 by a third bolt 500. When the scraper 210 is worn, it can be easily replaced without replacing the entire assembly. Only the bolt needs to be removed to quickly replace the new blade, which greatly reduces maintenance costs and downtime.

[0038] In some embodiments, the surface of the scraper 210 is provided with a chrome-plated layer, which has high hardness and can improve the life of the scraper 210.

[0039] In some embodiments, the outer diameter of the first bolt 300 is larger than the outer diameter of the second bolt 400, which can reduce the space occupied. In terms of structural layout, the diameter of the first adjusting bolt is usually larger than that of the second locking bolt. This design ensures sufficient strength in the critical adjustment axis while also optimizing the overall structure, making it more compact and avoiding occupying too much operating space.
