Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of printing equipment technology, specifically to a water treatment device for a printing press. Background Technology
[0002] Printing presses use a mixture of alcohol, dampening solution, and purified water, primarily to reduce the surface tension of water, accelerate water film spreading, control temperature, and improve ink transfer efficiency. Here are the specific reasons: Alcohol (mainly isopropanol) significantly reduces the surface tension of water, making it easier to spread on the printing plate surface and form a uniform water film. This helps the ink adhere precisely to non-image areas of the printing plate, ensuring print quality. Alcohol, as a small molecule compound, diffuses quickly, wetting the printing plate surface faster, reducing dry-plate phenomena and improving ink-water balance. For example, in high-end brochure printing, an appropriate alcohol concentration ensures clear dots and natural color transitions. When alcohol evaporates, it absorbs heat, lowering the temperature of the printing plate and rollers, preventing equipment malfunctions or abnormal ink emulsification caused by high temperatures. For example, offset printing press water tanks are often equipped with cooling systems to maintain a stable alcohol concentration. When the alcohol concentration is stable, the dampening solution adheres more evenly to the printing plate surface, reducing ink transfer resistance, accelerating ink drying, and reducing the risk of foaming and mold growth. Therefore, water treatment equipment is needed to centrally treat alcohol, dampening solution, and purified water to ensure the normal operation of the printing press. Utility Model Content

[0015] Please see Figure 1-9This utility model provides an embodiment of a water treatment device for a printing press, comprising a water treatment assembly 1 and a purification assembly 2 installed on one side of the water treatment assembly 1; the water treatment assembly 1 includes a water supply tank 10; a water supply assembly 12 is installed on the top of the water supply tank 10, and a liquid dispensing assembly 13 is provided on the top of the mixing tank 11; a partition 14 is provided inside the water supply tank 10, dividing the interior of the water supply tank 10 into a return water chamber 16 and a supply water chamber 15; the water supply assembly 12 includes a support plate 117, ... The support plate 117 is also provided with a return water pipe 111, and the return water pipe 111 guides the water flow into the return water chamber 16; the purification assembly 2 includes a water pump 20 and a purification tank 22. The water pump 20 pumps the water source in the return water chamber 16 to the purification tank 22, and introduces the purified water source into the water supply chamber 15 through the water pipe 21 provided on the purification tank 22; the support plate 117 is provided with a first pump body 114, and the water source in the water supply chamber 15 is pumped to the water tank of the printing machine through the first pump body 114.
[0016] In summary, the wastewater from the printing press enters the return water chamber 16. At this time, the water pump 20 pumps the liquid from the return water chamber 16 to the purification tank 22. After passing through the purification tank 22, the wastewater is guided by the water pipe 21 to the supply water chamber 15, completing the collection and purification of the wastewater. When the water source enters the supply water chamber 15, the first pump body 114 delivers the purified water to the printing press, providing a continuous supply of mixed liquid to ensure the continuous and reliable operation of the printing press and support the printing quality. Furthermore, since the water treatment equipment is located outside the printing press, it not only facilitates the maintenance of the water treatment equipment but also provides a continuous supply of mixed liquid. Additionally, the external location of the water treatment equipment facilitates maintenance, unified management, and reduces the overall energy consumption of the factory's water tanks. It provides a continuous and stable supply of mixed liquid to the printing press.
[0017] Furthermore, since the water treatment assembly 1 also includes a mixing tank 11, and the mixing tank 11 is located on one side of the water supply tank 10, the mixing tank 11 is also provided with a liquid mixing assembly 13, and the mixed liquid is introduced into the water supply chamber 15 through the liquid mixing assembly 13. Therefore, the mixing tank 11 provides the water supply tank 10 with a pre-made liquid mixing solution.
[0018] Specifically, the liquid preparation assembly 13 includes a cover plate 119, and the cover plate 119 is provided with several identical liquid inlet pipes 120. At least three different liquids are introduced into the mixing tank 11 through these multiple liquid inlet pipes 120. A stirring pump 121 on the cover plate 119 then pumps the liquids from the mixing tank 11 into the water supply chamber 15. Because multiple liquid inlet pipes 120 are provided, for example, three inlet pipes 120, one can be used to introduce water, another to introduce alcohol, and the last to introduce dampening solution. This allows the required liquids to be introduced into the mixing tank 11 simultaneously, and then the stirring pump 121 mixes the liquids before delivering them to the water supply chamber 15. The outlet of the stirring pump 121 is connected to a pipe, and the other end of the pipe passes through the liquid preparation connection hole 118 on the support plate 117 and enters the water supply chamber 15. Thus, water, alcohol, and dampening solution are mixed during delivery, ensuring thorough mixing of the liquids.
[0019] Because the wastewater from the printing press has a high temperature, to prevent the liquid in the water supply chamber 15 from continuously heating up, a second pump body 115 is also provided on the support plate 117, and a return pipe 112 is also provided on the support plate 117. The second pump body 115 pumps the liquid in the water supply chamber 15 into a cooler, and then connects the cooler to the return pipe 112 to introduce the cooled liquid back into the water supply chamber 15. Therefore, the second pump body 115 can be used to pump the liquid inside the water supply chamber 15 to the cooler, where it is cooled before flowing back into the water supply chamber 15. The cooler is a readily available technology that can be purchased directly from the market, such as a UII-type air heat exchanger, single or double metal finned heat exchange tubes, etc.
[0020] Since the concentration of alcohol may decrease after the purified mixture flows into the water supply chamber 15, this is necessary to ensure that the alcohol content in the prepared solution reaches the concentration required for use.
[0021] The support plate 117 is also equipped with an alcohol mixer 110, and the bottom of the water tank 10 is equipped with a DC water pump 18. The DC water pump 18 pumps the liquid in the water supply chamber 15 into the alcohol mixer 110 through the connecting pipe 19. Thus, the DC water pump 18 draws the mixture from the bottom of the water supply chamber 15 into the alcohol mixer 110, which then detects the alcohol concentration, allowing the user to add alcohol in real time based on the detected value. The alcohol mixer 110 is commercially available, preferably an alcosmart AZR alcohol mixer. To enable automatic alcohol replenishment, the support plate 117 is also equipped with a replenishment pipe 113, through which alcohol is guided into the water supply chamber 15. A solenoid valve 17 on the replenishment pipe 113 either prevents or guides alcohol into the water supply chamber 15. Therefore, when the replenishment pipe 113 is connected to a pump inside the alcohol storage container via a pipe, the pump can be used to pump alcohol into the water supply chamber 15. Alternatively, the alcohol storage container can be installed directly above the water supply tank 10. When the alcohol concentration inside the water supply chamber 15 decreases, the alcohol will automatically flow into the water supply chamber 15 under the action of gravity by opening the solenoid valve 17 until the alcohol ratior 110 detects that the alcohol concentration has reached the preset value, and then the solenoid valve 17 will close.
[0022] Furthermore, since there are at least three purification tanks 22, and the interior of each of the three purification tanks 22 is filled with activated carbon or filter cotton, the wastewater can be filtered multiple times, reducing the amount of impurities or small particles entering the water supply chamber 15. In addition, the arrangement of the three purification tanks 22 also allows the wastewater to release heat during the purification process, thus helping to prevent the continuous rise in the temperature of the mixed liquid inside the water supply chamber 15.
[0023] The embodiments of this utility model have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings, but this utility model is not limited to the described embodiments. For those skilled in the art, various changes, modifications, substitutions, and variations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of this utility model, and these variations still fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
