Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of printing ink technology, specifically an ink storage box for mechanical printing ink. Background Technology

[0002] In the printing industry, ink storage tanks are indispensable equipment for storing and supplying the inks needed in the printing process. However, existing ink storage technologies present several problems that urgently need to be addressed. In particular, traditional ink storage tanks often fail to meet the demands of modern high-precision printing in terms of ink uniformity and stability. During the printing process, ink uniformity has a crucial impact on print quality. Because pigments and additives in ink can precipitate or separate due to factors such as time, temperature, and settling, this directly affects the stability and consistency of the print results. Therefore, maintaining ink uniformity during storage has become a pressing issue for those skilled in the art.

[0004] While the above solution proposes a method to prevent ink sedimentation by installing a rotating motor and a stirring rod, it still has some shortcomings in practical applications. Specifically, a stirring rod driven solely by a motor may not be able to fully and thoroughly agitate the ink, especially when the ink storage tank is large or the ink viscosity is high.

[0027] A heating plate 7 is installed on the bottom surface of the enclosure 1, and a temperature sensor 8 is installed on the front surface of the enclosure 1.

[0028] The controller 9 is installed on the front of the housing 1, and four support feet 10 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the housing 1.

[0029] Example

[0030] This utility model provides an ink storage box for mechanical printing inks, and its specific embodiments are as follows:

[0031] See Figures 1-5 The ink storage box in this embodiment mainly includes a box body 1, a feeding pipe 2, a discharging pipe 3, a stirring mechanism 4, a first electric valve 5, a second electric valve 6, a heating plate 7, a temperature sensor 8, a controller 9, and a support foot 10.

[0032] The container 1, serving as the main storage container for the ink, possesses sufficient strength and airtightness to ensure that the ink does not leak during storage. The feeding pipe 2 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the container 1 for adding new ink into the container. The discharging pipe 3 is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the container 1 for removing ink from the container when needed.

[0033] The stirring mechanism 4 is a key component of this invention. It is located inside the housing 1 to prevent ink from settling or separating during storage. The stirring mechanism 4 includes a servo motor 401, a rotating shaft 402, a right-angle rod 403, a first gear 404, a second gear 405, a stirring shaft 406, and stirring rods 407. The servo motor 401 is mounted on the upper surface of the housing 1, and its output end is rotatably connected to the interior of the housing 1 via the rotating shaft 402. The first gear 404 is fixed to the bottom end of the rotating shaft 402, and the right-angle rod 403 is also fixed to the rotating shaft 402. The first gear 404 meshes with the second gear 405, and the stirring shaft 406 is fixed inside the second gear 405. The top end of the stirring shaft 406 is rotatably connected to the right-angle rod 403. A set of stirring rods 407 is fixed to the outer surface of the stirring shaft 406 for thoroughly stirring the ink.

[0034] To further enhance the mixing effect, a side scraper 408 and a bottom scraper 409 are fixed to the bottom end of the right-angle rod 403. The side scraper 408 contacts the inner wall of the housing 1, and the bottom scraper 409 contacts the inner bottom wall of the housing 1. This can scrape off the ink adhering to the inner wall and inner bottom wall of the housing and prevent the ink from drying.

[0035] In addition, this invention also includes a heating plate 7 and a temperature sensor 8 to address situations where low ambient temperatures increase ink viscosity. The heating plate 7 is installed on the bottom surface of the housing 1 to heat the ink and reduce its viscosity. The temperature sensor 8 is installed on the front of the housing 1 to monitor the temperature inside the housing in real time and transmit the temperature information to the controller 9. The controller 9 controls the heating plate 7 according to a preset temperature to maintain a suitable ink temperature.

[0036] Finally, the ink storage box of this utility model is also provided with four support feet 10 to support the entire box body 1 and ensure the stability of the storage box.

[0037] In practical applications, adding ink to the storage tank can be done by opening the first electric valve 5 on the feeding pipe 2. Removing ink can be done by opening the second electric valve 6 on the discharge pipe 3. Simultaneously, activating the servo motor 401 in the stirring mechanism 4 will thoroughly stir the ink, preventing sedimentation or stratification. If heating the ink to reduce its viscosity is required, the heating plate 7 can be activated via the controller 9.

[0038] Working principle: When ink needs to be added to the storage tank, the first electric valve 5 on the feeding pipe 2 is opened, and the ink enters the tank 1 through the feeding pipe 2. During storage, to prevent ink sedimentation and stratification, the servo motor 401 in the stirring mechanism 4 is activated. The servo motor 401 drives the rotating shaft 402 to rotate. The rotating shaft 402 drives the right-angle rod 403 to rotate. The side scraper 408 and bottom scraper 409 on the right-angle rod 403 contact the inner wall and bottom wall of the tank 1 respectively, which can scrape off the ink adhering to the inner wall and bottom wall of the tank 1 to prevent the ink from drying. On the other hand, the first gear 404 at the bottom of the rotating shaft 402 drives the second gear 405 meshing with it to rotate. The stirring shaft 406 inside the second gear 405 rotates accordingly. A set of stirring rods 407 on the stirring shaft 406 stirs the ink and rotates synchronously around the two scrapers to keep the ink in a uniform state. Meanwhile, the circular rotating block 412 at the top of the connecting rod 411 on the upper surface of the right-angle rod 403 slides within the circular track groove 410 inside the box 1, stabilizing the stirring mechanism 4. When the ambient temperature is low, causing the ink viscosity to increase, the heating plate 7 on the bottom of the box 1 can be activated to heat the ink. At the same time, the temperature sensor 8 monitors the temperature inside the box 1 in real time and transmits the temperature information to the controller 9. The controller 9 controls the heating plate 7 according to the preset temperature to maintain a suitable ink temperature. When it is necessary to remove the ink, the second electric valve 6 on the discharge pipe 3 is opened, and the ink flows out from the discharge pipe 3. Four support feet 10 are used to support the entire box 1, ensuring the stability of the storage box.

[0039] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
