[0030] Example

[0031] Reference Figure 1-3An automatic water-based ink filling device includes an electric rotary table 1, a water-based ink storage container 7, and a control box 15. The output end of the electric rotary table 1 is fixedly equipped with a filling rack so that the filling rack can be driven by the electric rotary table 1 to move the filling container 16 in an orderly manner under the filling head 10 for filling. The water-based ink storage container 7 is fixedly installed on one side of the electric rotary table 1 so as to store the water-based ink to be filled. A filling pipeline and a recovery pipeline are respectively provided between the water-based ink storage container 7 and the filling rack.

[0032] Specifically, the filling rack includes a filling container tray 2, a support column 3, and a conical collection hopper 4. The upper surface of the filling container tray 2 is fixedly connected to the cone tip of the conical collection hopper 4 through the support column 3, so as to ensure the stability between the filling container tray 2 and the conical collection hopper 4 through the support column 3. The filling container tray 2 is detachably fixed to the output end of the electric rotary table 1 by bolts, so as to disassemble and assemble the filling rack.

[0033] Specifically, the upper surface of the filling container tray 2 is evenly provided with several container placement cavities 5 for placing the filling containers 16, so as to position the filling containers 16 through the container placement cavities 5 and ensure the stability of the filling containers 16 during the filling process. The several container placement cavities 5 are arranged in a circular array around the support column 3 so as to continuously carry the filling containers 16 for filling.

[0034] Specifically, the conical collecting hopper 4 has several filling holes 6 that are evenly distributed throughout it, corresponding to the container placement cavity 5, so that the filling head 10 can fill the water-based ink into the corresponding filling container 16 through the filling holes 6. The structure of the conical collecting hopper 4 allows the water-based ink that drips onto the conical collecting hopper 4 to automatically gather and flow towards the center of the conical collecting hopper 4.

[0035] Specifically, a replenishment pipe 13 is provided on the water-based ink storage container 7. The replenishment pipe 13 is connected to the inside of the water-based ink storage container 7 so that water-based ink can be replenished into the water-based ink storage container 7 through the replenishment pipe 13 in the future.

[0036] Specifically, the filling pipeline includes a metering pump 8, a delivery pipe 9, and a filling head 10. The metering pump 8 is fixedly installed on the water-based ink storage container 7. The inlet end of the metering pump 8 is connected to the inside of the water-based ink storage container 7, and the outlet end of the metering pump 8 is fixedly connected to one end of the delivery pipe 9. The other end of the delivery pipe 9 is fixedly connected to the filling head 10. Through the setting of the filling pipeline, during filling, the water-based ink inside the water-based ink storage container 7 can be delivered to the filling head 10 through the metering pump 8 and the delivery pipe 9, and finally filled into the corresponding filling container 16 through the filling head 10.

[0037] Metering pump 8 is a plunger pump to control the filling flow rate;

[0038] Specifically, the filling head 10 is fixedly installed above the conical collection hopper 4 by the bracket 14 so as to ensure the stability of the filling head 10. The filling head 10 is located on the moving path of each filling hole 6 so as to orderly fill the filling container 16 below each filling hole 6.

[0039] Specifically, the bracket 14 is fixedly connected to the electric rotary table 1. The bracket 14 is located on one side of the electric rotary table 1 and the filling rack. With this structure, it will not affect the electric rotary table 1 from driving the filling rack to rotate.

[0040] Specifically, the recovery pipeline includes a suction pump 11 and a suction pipe 12. The suction pump 11 is fixedly installed on the water-based ink storage container 7. The outlet end of the suction pump 11 is connected to the inside of the water-based ink storage container 7, and the inlet end of the suction pump 11 is fixedly connected to one end of the suction pipe 12. The other end of the suction pipe 12 is located at the center inside the conical collection hopper 4. Through the arrangement of the recovery pipeline, when a certain amount of water-based ink is collected inside the conical collection hopper 4, the water-based ink collected inside the conical collection hopper 4 can be transported to the water-based ink storage container 7 through the suction pump 11 and the suction pipe 12.

[0041] Specifically, the control box 15 is fixedly installed on one side of the water-based ink storage container 7, and the controller inside the control box 15 is electrically connected to the electric rotary table 1, the metering pump 8 and the suction pump 11.

[0042] The controller is a PLC controller, and the output of the PLC controller is electrically connected to the electric rotary table 1, the metering pump 8 and the suction pump 11.

[0043] Specifically, an installation cavity 21 is provided at the center of the upper surface of the filling container tray 2. The filling container tray 2 is detachably fixed to one end of the support column 3 through the installation cavity 21 by bolts, so that the filling container tray 2 and the conical collection hopper 4 can be replaced separately in the future.

[0044] Specifically, the inner surface of the conical collecting hopper 4 and the inner surface of the water-based ink storage container 7 are each provided with a hydrophobic coating. By providing the hydrophobic coating, the adhesion between the water-based ink and the conical collecting hopper 4 and the water-based ink storage container 7 is reduced.

[0045] Specifically, a liquid level sensor is fixedly installed inside the water-based ink storage container 7. The liquid level sensor is electrically connected to the input terminal of the PLC controller and works in conjunction with a buzzer alarm, which is electrically connected to the output terminal of the PLC controller. Through the settings of the liquid level sensor and the buzzer alarm, the remaining amount of water-based ink inside the water-based ink storage container 7 can be detected in real time. When the water-based ink inside the water-based ink storage container 7 is low, the liquid level sensor is triggered, causing the buzzer alarm to sound, thereby reminding relevant personnel to replenish the ink.

[0046] Specifically, a liquid level sensor 2 is fixedly installed at one end of the suction pipe 12 inside the conical collection hopper 4. The liquid level sensor 2 is electrically connected to the input terminal of the PLC controller so that the amount of water-based ink collected inside the conical collection hopper 4 can be detected in real time through the liquid level sensor 2. When the liquid level sensor 2 is triggered, the suction pump 11 will be started to transport the water-based ink collected inside the conical collection hopper 4 to the water-based ink storage container 7 through the suction pipe 12.

[0047] Liquid level sensor 1 and liquid level sensor 2 use the IFM liquid level sensor LR series, with model examples such as LR3000 / 3300, LR7000, LR8000 / 2050 / 2750 / 9020, etc.

[0048] In this embodiment, when filling water-based ink, the filling container 16 is placed in the corresponding container placement cavity 5 in sequence, and then the filling rack is driven by the electric rotary table 1 to move the filling container 16 in an orderly manner under the filling head 10 for filling.

[0049] When filling a filling container 16 and filling the next filling container 16, during this transition period, due to the arrangement of the conical collecting hopper 4 and the filling hole 6, the conical collecting hopper 4 can collect the water-based ink dripping from the filling head 10, preventing the water-based ink on the filling head 10 from dripping onto the outside or the filling container 16, thereby avoiding unnecessary waste.

[0050] Any technical solution that achieves the above-mentioned technical effects by utilizing the technical solution described in this utility model, or by designing a similar technical solution inspired by the technical solution described in this utility model, falls within the protection scope of this utility model.
