[0002] In the book and magazine printing industry, multi-unit ink supply systems have become a key supporting equipment for modern book and magazine printing presses because they can meet the continuous and stable ink supply needs of printing presses. The uniformity of ink supply directly determines the color consistency and printing quality of printed materials. Therefore, it is necessary to design multi-unit ink supply systems for book and magazine printing presses.

[0003] Patent document CN216659311U discloses a multi-unit ink supply mechanism for a book and magazine printing press, including an ink tank. The top of the ink tank has an ink inlet, and the side wall of the ink tank has an ink outlet.

[0004] However, this device lacks the ability to scrape down and mix the ink adhering to the inner wall of the tank during the rotation and stirring process. The adhering ink will gradually solidify and form sediment over time, which not only wastes ink but may also block key channels such as the feed pipe and discharge pipe, affecting the normal operation of the ink supply mechanism, reducing stirring efficiency and ink usage effect. Furthermore, this device lacks the means to simultaneously transfer ink to different printing devices, and can only supply ink to one printing machine, which affects ink efficiency and indirectly affects printing efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0005] The main purpose of this invention is to provide a multi-unit ink supply mechanism for book and magazine printing presses. This mechanism effectively solves the problem in the prior art where, during the rotation and stirring process, the ink adhering to the inner wall of the tank is scraped off and stirred evenly. However, the long-term accumulation of the adhering ink gradually solidifies into sediment, which not only wastes ink but may also clog key channels such as the feed pipe and discharge pipe, affecting the normal operation of the ink supply mechanism, reducing stirring efficiency and ink usage. Furthermore, this device lacks a mechanism to simultaneously transfer ink to different printing units, allowing it to be used by only one printing machine, which affects ink efficiency and indirectly affects printing efficiency.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0007] A multi-unit ink supply mechanism for a book and magazine printing press includes a tank body with a lid mounted on the top. A stirring mechanism is rotatably connected to the bottom of the lid. A discharge nozzle extends through the left side of the bottom of the tank body.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0016] 1. This utility model, through the setting of a stirring mechanism, allows for the stirring of ink inside the tank when it needs to be used. A stirring rod is installed inside the tank, and the stirring rod is connected to a drive motor via a rotating connector at its top. The drive motor then provides power to rotate the stirring rod inside the tank. A stirring plate with eight stirring blades is installed at both the upper and lower ends of the stirring rod. Scrapers are also installed on the two opposite stirring blades. The scrapers are in contact with the inner wall of the tank and scrape against the inner wall as the stirring plate rotates. Since three inclined stirring fans are also installed in the middle of the stirring rod, they work together with the stirring plate to stir the upper, middle and lower parts of the tank. This achieves simultaneous stirring of the upper, middle and lower parts while preventing residual ink from adhering to the inner wall of the tank. This avoids long-term accumulation of ink, which not only wastes ink but may also clog the pipes, affect the normal operation of the ink supply mechanism, and reduce stirring efficiency and ink usage effect.

[0017] 2. This utility model, through the setting of a multi-connection feeding mechanism, installs a discharge nozzle on one side of the bottom of the tank when ink needs to be supplied to different printing machines. The ink enters the discharge pipe through the discharge nozzle, and then enters the pneumatic diaphragm pump through the discharge valve. The pneumatic diaphragm pump transports the ink through the feeding pipe to three branch pipes, and then the branch pipes transmit the ink to different printing machines for use. Since a distribution valve is also set on the outside of the branch pipe, the use of the branch pipe can be freely controlled, realizing the simultaneous supply of ink to multiple printing machines, avoiding the situation where only one printing machine can be used, which would affect the efficiency of ink and indirectly affect the printing efficiency.
