Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of ink storage technology, and in particular to a practical printing ink storage box. Background Technology

[0002] In the printing industry, to reduce unit transportation and packaging costs, ink is typically stored and transported in large-capacity containers (e.g., 18 to 200 liters). However, this large-capacity packaging faces significant application adaptability issues in practical use: because the actual ink consumption in a single printing job is often less than the packaging capacity, the ink cannot be used up immediately after opening and requires short-term storage. To address this common need, many printing workshops currently use a common temporary storage method—folding and gluing waste paper (such as discarded printing sheets) to create simple storage containers (commonly known as "waste paper ink boxes"). This temporary storage method has the following core problems: 1. Volatility loss and solidification: The waste paper boxes have a simple and rough structure, lacking effective sealing, and cannot prevent the rapid evaporation of low-boiling-point solvents in the ink. This can also cause an imbalance in the ink component ratio, and long-term or non-sealed storage can accelerate the skinning of the ink surface or even cause it to solidify and become unusable. 2. High pollution risk: Waste paper itself, as printing waste, may contain residual dust, paper scraps, uncured spray powder, other ink particles, and other impurities. These impurities can easily get into the ink during storage and handling. Furthermore, paper containers are inherently weak, easily damaged, and prone to absorbing moisture or dust from the environment, further increasing the risk of ink contamination by foreign matter.

[0003] In the existing technology, there are some simple ink storage devices, but when storing ink, it is not possible to intuitively judge the amount of ink, which can easily lead to repeated feeding causing the storage tank to overflow, or different batches of ink to be mixed and stored, affecting the quality of the ink and causing waste of ink.

[0004] To address the above problems, a new ink storage device is needed. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a practical printing ink storage box to solve at least one of the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a practical printing ink storage box, including a main body, the main body also including a storage mechanism, a feed pipe fixedly connected to the top of the main body, a storage groove opened inside the main body, a circular rod fixedly connected to the top of the main body, and an installation groove opened at the bottom of the circular rod.

[0007] Preferably, a cylinder is fixedly connected to the top inner wall of the mounting groove, and a sliding plate is slidably connected inside the cylinder.

[0008] Preferably, a telescopic spring is fixedly connected to the top of the skateboard, and the end of the telescopic spring away from the skateboard is fixedly connected to the mounting groove.

[0009] Preferably, a sliding rod is fixedly connected to the side of the slide away from the telescopic spring, and a lifting plate is fixedly connected to the end of the sliding rod away from the slide. The outer wall of the lifting plate is slidably connected to the storage tank.

[0010] Preferably, a transparent glass is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the main body, and a scale strip is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the transparent glass.

[0011] Preferably, a fixing frame is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the main body, and a sealing plate is slidably connected to the top of the fixing frame.

[0012] Preferably, the side wall of the sealing plate is provided with a groove, a baffle is slidably connected in the groove, a limit plate is fixedly connected to the side wall of the sealing plate, and the inner wall of the limit plate is slidably connected to the baffle.

[0013] Preferably, a fixing plate is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the baffle, a support plate is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the sealing plate, a threaded rod is threadedly connected to the support plate, the bottom end of the threaded rod is rotatably connected to the fixing plate, and a rotating block is fixedly connected to the top end of the threaded rod.

[0014] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: In this utility model: This invention can solve the problems of ink volatility loss and curing, and ink contamination by foreign matter in existing "waste paper ink boxes". Through mechanical structure innovation and functional integration, it can achieve safe storage, accurate use and efficient management of ink.

[0015] 2. When using this storage box to store ink, first unscrew the feed pipe and pour the ink to be stored into the storage tank through the feed pipe. The ink poured into the storage tank flows to the top of the lifting plate. As the ink on the lifting plate increases, it moves downward, applying a compressive force to the telescopic spring. The more ink in the storage tank, the lower the position of the lifting plate. By observing the transparent glass and the scale bar, staff can easily and quickly check the amount of ink stored in the storage tank. The weight of the ink directly acts on the lifting plate, causing its position to move linearly downward as the ink volume changes. The relative position of the scale bar and the lifting plate can be directly observed through the transparent glass, allowing staff to quickly obtain real-time storage information. This method solves the problem of not being able to visually judge the storage volume during ink storage, which may lead to repeated filling and overflow of the storage tank. 3. When the stored ink needs to be taken out for use, the rotating block is turned, which drives the threaded rod to rotate. After the threaded rod rotates, it causes the baffle to rise in the slide groove. Under the action of the limiting plate, it can limit the baffle during the rising process. After the baffle rises, it no longer blocks the discharge port on the sealing plate, so that the ink in the storage tank can flow in through the gap between the sealing plate and the lifting plate, making it convenient for the staff to take out the ink for use. The threaded drive of the threaded rod has self-locking property, which can make the baffle stop at any height, flexibly control the opening size of the discharge port, adapt to different usage needs, and avoid unnecessary waste of ink.

[0018] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0019] This utility model provides, for example Figure 1-5The illustrated practical printing ink storage box includes a main body 101, which also includes a storage mechanism 1. A feed pipe 102 is fixedly connected to the top of the main body 101. A storage groove 103 is provided inside the main body 101. A circular rod 104 is fixedly connected to the top of the main body 101. An installation groove 105 is provided at the bottom of the circular rod 104. A cylinder 106 is fixedly connected to the top inner wall of the installation groove 105. A sliding plate 108 is slidably connected inside the cylinder 106. A telescopic spring 109 is fixedly connected to the top of the sliding plate 108. The end of the telescopic spring 109 away from the sliding plate 108 is fixedly connected to the installation groove 105. A sliding rod 110 is fixedly connected to the side of the sliding plate 108 away from the telescopic spring 109. A lifting plate 111 is fixedly connected to the end of the sliding rod 110 away from the sliding plate 108. The outer wall of the lifting plate 111 is slidably connected to the storage groove 103. A transparent glass 11 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the main body 101. A scale strip 12 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the transparent glass 11. When the storage box is needed to store ink, first unscrew the feed pipe 102 and pour the ink to be stored into the storage tank 103 through the feed pipe 102. The ink poured into the storage tank 103 flows to the top of the lifting plate 111. As the ink on the lifting plate 111 increases, the lifting plate 111 will move downward, applying a squeezing force to the telescopic spring 109. The more ink in the storage tank 103, the lower the position of the lifting plate 111 will be. By observing the transparent glass 11 and the scale bar 12, the staff can easily and quickly check the amount of ink stored in the storage tank 103. The weight of the ink directly acts on the lifting plate 111, causing its position to move linearly downward as the amount of ink changes. The relative position of the scale bar 12 and the lifting plate 111 can be directly observed through the transparent glass 11, allowing the staff to quickly obtain real-time storage information.

[0020] A fixed frame 112 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the main body 101. A sealing plate 113 is slidably connected to the top of the fixed frame 112. A groove 114 is opened on the side wall of the sealing plate 113. A baffle 115 is slidably connected in the groove 114. A limit plate 116 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the sealing plate 113. The inner wall of the limit plate 116 is slidably connected to the baffle 115. A fixed plate 117 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the baffle 115. A support plate 118 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the sealing plate 113. A threaded rod 119 is threadedly connected to the support plate 118. The bottom end of the threaded rod 119 is rotatably connected to the fixed plate 117. A rotating block 120 is fixedly connected to the top end of the threaded rod 119. When the stored ink needs to be taken out for use, the rotating block 120 is turned, which drives the threaded rod 119 to rotate. After the threaded rod 119 rotates, it drives the baffle 115 to rise in the slide groove 114. Under the action of the limiting plate 116, it can limit the rise of the baffle 115. After the baffle 115 rises, it no longer blocks the outlet on the sealing plate 113, so that the ink in the storage tank 103 flows in through the gap between the sealing plate 113 and the lifting plate 111, making it convenient for the staff to take out the ink for use. The threaded drive of the threaded rod 119 has self-locking property, which can make the baffle 115 stop at any height and flexibly control the opening size of the outlet to adapt to different usage requirements.

[0021] The working principle of the practical printing ink storage box provided by this utility model is as follows: When it is necessary to use the storage box to store ink, first unscrew the feed pipe 102 and pour the ink to be stored into the storage tank 103 through the feed pipe 102. The ink poured into the storage tank 103 flows to the top of the lifting plate 111. As the ink on the lifting plate 111 increases, the lifting plate 111 will move downward, applying a squeezing force to the telescopic spring 109. When there is more ink in the storage tank 103, the position of the lifting plate 111 will be lower. By observing the transparent glass 11 and the scale bar 12, the staff can easily and quickly check the amount of ink stored in the storage tank 103. The weight of the ink directly acts on the lifting plate 111, causing its position to move linearly downward with the change of ink volume. The relative position of the scale bar 12 and the lifting plate 111 can be directly observed through the transparent glass 11, and the staff can quickly obtain real-time storage information. When the stored ink needs to be taken out for use, the rotating block 120 is turned, which drives the threaded rod 119 to rotate. After the threaded rod 119 rotates, it drives the baffle 115 to rise in the slide groove 114. Under the action of the limiting plate 116, it can limit the rise of the baffle 115. After the baffle 115 rises, it no longer blocks the outlet on the sealing plate 113, so that the ink in the storage tank 103 flows in through the gap between the sealing plate 113 and the lifting plate 111, making it convenient for the staff to take out the ink for use. The threaded drive of the threaded rod 119 has self-locking property, which can make the baffle 115 stop at any height and flexibly control the opening size of the outlet to adapt to different usage requirements.

As the ink on the lifting plate 111 increases, the lifting plate 111 will move downward, applying a squeezing force to the telescopic spring 109. When there is more ink in the storage tank 103, the position of the lifting plate 111 will be lower.

The relative position of the scale bar 12 and the lifting plate 111 can be directly observed through the transparent glass 11, and the staff can quickly obtain real-time storage information. When the stored ink needs to be taken out for use, the rotating block 120 is turned, which drives the threaded rod 119 to rotate. After the threaded rod 119 rotates, it drives the baffle 115 to rise in the slide groove 114. Under the action of the limiting plate 116, it can limit the rise of the baffle 115. After the baffle 115 rises, it no longer blocks the outlet on the sealing plate 113, so that the ink in the storage tank 103 flows in through the gap between the sealing plate 113 and the lifting plate 111, making it convenient for the staff to take out the ink for use. The threaded drive of the threaded rod 119 has self-locking property, which can make the baffle 115 stop at any height and flexibly control the opening size of the outlet to adapt to different usage requirements.
