[0047] In the description of this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly defined, terms such as "setting," "installation," and "connection" should be interpreted broadly, and those skilled in the art can reasonably determine the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model in conjunction with the specific content of the technical solution.

[0048] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a paint can structure according to an embodiment of the present invention includes: a support 100, a lifting mechanism, a can body 300, a can cover 400, an elastic part 500, and a stirring mechanism 600.

[0049] The bracket 100 is used to provide an installation and support carrier for various parts and components.

[0050] The lifting mechanism includes a support platform 200 and a drive device 210. The support platform 200 is mounted on the bracket 100, and the drive device 210 is mounted on the bracket 100 and is connected to the support platform 200 in a transmission manner. The support platform 200 can be raised and lowered under the drive of the drive device 210.

[0051] The cylinder 300 is mounted on the support platform 200, and the top of the cylinder 300 is open.

[0052] The cylinder cover 400 can be vertically and movably installed on the bracket 100, and the cylinder cover 400 is located on the upper side of the cylinder body 300.

[0053] The elastic part 500 is disposed between the bracket 100 and the cylinder cover 400. The elastic part 500 is used to apply a downward elastic force to the cylinder cover 400. It should be noted that the cylinder cover 400 is always held on the bracket 100.

[0054] The stirring mechanism 600 is installed on the cylinder cover 400.

[0055] The support platform 200 has at least a first position and a second position during its lifting and lowering process. When the support platform 200 is in the first position, the stirring mechanism 600 extends into the cylinder 300, and the elastic part 500 presses the cylinder cover 400 against the cylinder 300 to close the top opening of the cylinder 300. The first position is the working position, where paint stirring can be performed. When the support platform 200 is in the second position, the top of the cylinder 300 is lower than the cylinder cover 400 and the stirring mechanism 600. The second position is the cleaning position. In this position, the operator can directly clean the inside of the cylinder 300 or remove the cylinder 300 from the support platform 200 for cleaning.

[0056] In this embodiment of the paint canister structure, the support platform 200 can be adjusted to the first position, and the canister cover 400 can be pressed onto the canister body 300 by the elastic part 500, so that the canister body 300 and the canister cover 400 are tightly combined and enclosed to form a closed space. Then, the stirring mechanism 600 is used to stir the paint in the closed space, and the sealing performance is good when the stirring operation is performed. When cleaning is required, the support platform 200 can be adjusted to the second position, so that the top of the canister body 300 is lower than the canister cover 400 and the stirring mechanism 600, and then the inner wall of the canister body 300 can be cleaned, which is very convenient. By adopting the above structural design, both sealing and cleaning convenience can be taken into account.

[0057] Based on the above embodiments, it is conceivable that, in order to avoid frequent raising and lowering of the support platform 200, a structure specifically designed for inputting paint into the cylinder 300 when the support platform 200 is in the first position can be provided on the cylinder cover 400. For example, an input pipe can be provided on the cylinder cover 400, and the input pipe can be directly connected to the paint delivery device.

[0058] For example, refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments of this utility model, a feed hopper 430 is provided on the cylinder cover 400, and a sealing cover 431 is provided on the top of the feed hopper 430. When the support platform 200 is in the first position, the feed hopper 430 is in communication with the inner cavity of the cylinder 300. When it is necessary to stir the paint, the support platform 200 is kept in the first position, the sealing cover 431 is opened, and the prepared paint is poured into the cylinder 300 through the feed hopper 430. Finally, the sealing cover 431 is closed to stir. With this setting, the support platform 200 can be kept in the first position when it is not necessary to clean the inner wall of the cylinder 300, avoiding frequent raising and lowering of the support platform 200. Only when it is necessary to clean the inner wall of the cylinder 300 is it necessary to lower the support platform 200 to the second position.

[0059] In addition, a discharge structure can be installed at the bottom of the cylinder 300 to facilitate the discharge of the mixed paint.

[0060] For example, refer to Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments of this utility model, a discharge pipe 320 is provided at the bottom end of the cylinder 300, and a valve 330 is provided on the discharge pipe 320 to control the opening and closing of the discharge pipe 320. A Y-type filter 340 is connected to the side of the discharge pipe 320 away from the valve 330 to filter out impurities.

[0061] Based on the above embodiments, it is conceivable that the Y-type filter 340 can be connected to other components using a threaded interface or a flange interface, and this embodiment does not limit this.

[0062] Based on the above embodiments, it is conceivable that the end of the Y-type filter 340 away from the discharge pipe 320 can be connected to the paint spraying device (including pump, conveying pipe and spray gun, etc.) through a hose, so that after mixing, the valve 330 on the discharge pipe 320 can be opened to directly deliver the uniformly mixed paint to the paint spraying device for painting operation.

[0063] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, in some embodiments of this utility model, the stirring mechanism 600 includes a second motor 610 and a stirring shaft 620. The second motor 610 is fixed on the cylinder cover 400, and its output shaft passes through the cylinder cover 400. The stirring shaft 620 is connected to the output shaft of the second motor 610 through a coupling. The stirring shaft 620 is located on the lower side of the cylinder cover 400 and is used to extend into the cylinder 300 for stirring. Obviously, stirring blades are provided on the stirring shaft 620.

[0064] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments of this utility model, the bracket 100 is provided with a vertically penetrating sliding hole 101 on the upper side of the cylinder cover 400, and a vertically extending sliding rod 410 is fixed on the upper end face of the cylinder cover 400. The sliding rod 410 slides vertically through the sliding hole 101. A limiting part is connected to the upper side of the bracket 100 for the sliding rod 410. The limiting part is used to abut against the upper end of the bracket 100 to prevent the sliding rod 410 from disengaging from the bracket 100. The elastic part 500 is set as a compression spring, which is sleeved on the sliding rod 410. The compression spring is located on the upper side of the cylinder cover 400, and its upper and lower ends abut against the bracket 100 and the cylinder cover 400 respectively to apply a downward elastic force to the cylinder cover 400.

[0065] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments of this utility model, the limiting part is set as a limiting block 420. The limiting block 420 is connected to the top of the slide rod 410 by screws, which facilitates the disassembly and assembly of the cylinder cover 400 and the compression spring. When it is necessary to disassemble the cylinder cover 400 or the compression spring, the limiting block 420 is removed first, and then the cylinder cover 400 can be removed from the bracket 100 and the compression spring can be removed from the slide rod 410.

[0066] Reference Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments of this utility model, multiple slide rods 410 are provided, and the multiple slide rods 410 are evenly distributed around the center line of the cylinder cover 400. The compression springs are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence with the slide rods 410, and the structure is stable and reliable. In this embodiment, the cylinder cover 400 has a circular structure, and its center line is vertically distributed.

[0067] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments of this utility model, the support platform 200 is provided with a vertically penetrating clearance hole 201, and the upper end surface of the support platform 200 is provided with a groove 202 on the periphery of the clearance hole 201. The cylinder 300 passes through the clearance hole 201, and the outer peripheral wall of the cylinder 300 is provided with a block 310. The block 310 is embedded in the groove 202, so that the support platform 200 supports the cylinder 300 while restricting the rotation of the cylinder 300, preventing the cylinder 300 from rotating along with it during stirring.

[0068] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments of this utility model, a locking mechanism 220 is provided on the support platform 200, which is used to lock the cylinder 300 onto the support platform 200. Specifically, the locking mechanism 220 includes a rotating part 230 and a locking part 240. The rotating part 230 is rotatably mounted on the support platform 200. The rotation axis of the rotating part 230 is vertically distributed and located on the outer periphery of the groove 202. The locking part 240 is vertically adjustable and disposed on the rotating part 230. The locking mechanism 220 has a locked state and an unlocked state. In the locked state, the locking part 240 abuts against the insert 310 downwards, thereby locking the cylinder 300 onto the support platform 200 to prevent the cylinder 300 from moving vertically and to improve structural stability. In the unlocked state, the locking part 240 is higher than the insert 310, and the locking mechanism 220 and the insert 310 are horizontally offset to avoid the vertical removal and placement path of the cylinder 300. If the cylinder 300 needs to be removed for cleaning, the support platform 200 can be adjusted to the second position first, and then the locking mechanism 220 can be adjusted to the unlocked state, and then the cylinder 300 can be taken out upwards.

[0069] In this embodiment, the switching between the locking mechanism 220 and the unlocking state is achieved by vertical adjustment of the locking part 240 and rotation of the rotating part 230. For example, when it is necessary to switch the locking mechanism 220 from the locking state to the unlocking state, the locking part 240 is first adjusted upward to separate the locking part 240 from the insert 310, and then the rotating part 230 is rotated so that both the rotating part 230 and the locking part 240 are horizontally offset from the insert 310.

[0070] Based on the above embodiments, in some specific embodiments, refer to Figure 4 As shown, the locking part 240 includes a screw 241 and a rotating handle 242; wherein, the screw 241 is threadedly installed on the rotating part 230 and is vertically distributed; the rotating handle 242 is fixed to the top of the screw 241, and when the locking part 240 needs to be adjusted vertically, it is only necessary to rotate the rotating handle 242, which is very convenient to operate.

[0071] It is conceivable that a threaded hole or a nut could be welded onto the locking part 240 to install the screw 241.

[0072] Based on the above embodiments, in some specific embodiments, refer to Figure 4As shown, a vertically extending mounting shaft 250 is fixedly mounted on the upper end face of the support platform 200 on the outer periphery of the groove 202. The mounting shaft 250 is a stepped shaft with an upward-facing stepped surface. A limiting nut 260 is threadedly connected to the upper side of the stepped surface of the mounting shaft 250. A rotating part 230 is provided with a sleeve hole 231 and is rotatably sleeved on the mounting shaft 250 through the sleeve hole 231. The rotating part 230 is located between the stepped surface and the limiting nut 260 to provide vertical limitation through the stepped surface and the limiting nut 260. Obviously, the distance between the limiting nut 260 and the stepped surface should be slightly greater than the thickness of the rotating part 230 in the vertical direction.

[0073] It is conceivable that, in order to improve structural stability, multiple sets of inserts 310, slots 202 and locking mechanisms 220 can be provided, evenly distributed along the circumference of the cylinder 300.

[0074] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments of this utility model, a guide rod 110 is provided on the bracket 100, and a guide hole 203 is provided on the support platform 200, which slides vertically with the guide rod 110 through the guide hole 203, thereby vertically sliding the support platform 200 on the bracket 100; the driving device 210 includes a drive screw 211, a screw nut 212, and a first motor 213. The drive screw 211 is rotatably mounted on the bracket 100 and vertically distributed; the screw nut 212 is fixed to the support platform 200 and threadedly connected to the drive screw 211; the first motor 213 is connected to the drive screw 211 and is used to drive the drive screw 211 to rotate; when it is necessary to vertically adjust the support platform 200, the first motor 213 can control the rotation of the drive screw 211, thereby driving the support platform 200 to rise and fall through the screw nut 212, resulting in a high degree of automation.

[0075] It is understandable that four sets of guide rods 110 and guide holes 203 are set, respectively at the four corners of the support platform 200.
