Definitions
- the present invention relates to a fluid delivery system, especially to a fluid delivery system in which fluid is delivered and recycled uniformly under constant pressure and uniform volume flow rate.
- fluid is pressurized by the pump to be delivered to the desired location through pipelines.
- the pump is driven by an external engine for drawing and expelling the fluid continuously. Yet most of the engines are bulky and fuel consumption is required. Thus the engine is suitable for outdoor use where no power is provided. For indoor use or places easy to access to the power, the pump is usually driven by motors or electromagnetic means.
- An air pump is widely used for ink delivery in ink printing machines.
- a diaphragm mounted in the pump is driven by the alternating air pressure for ink delivery to an ink fountain and use in printing.
- one end of an air pump 7 is connected to an ink fountain 71 and the other end thereof is connected to an ink tube 81 of an ink printing machine 8 while two ink fountain rollers 82 are disposed under the ink tube 81 and the sections of the two ink fountain rollers 82 are tangent to each other (in close contact with each other).
- the ink tube 81 is located just above the position where the surfaces of the two ink fountain rollers 82 are in close contact and the two ink fountain rollers 82 are rotated from the lower to the upper in opposite directions respectively so that ink from the ink tube 81 will not fall through a gap between the contact surfaces of the two ink fountain rollers 82. Instead of flowing down, the ink from the ink tube 81 flows into a trough formed above the contact surfaces of the two ink fountain rollers 82 for being attached to the surface of each of the rotating ink fountain rollers 82.
- a device and method for supplying printing ink to and carrying it off from a doctor blade device of an inking system of a rotary printing press and/ or for cleaning the doctor blade device are known, such fluid delivery system including a double diaphragm pump cooperating with an introducing pipeline and a return pipeline, a fluid storage unit, a fluid supply portion, and a bypass structure to reduce the supplied fluid volume to match the pump chamber outputs, said bypass structure being an additional return conduit connected to a second guiding tube of the introducing pipeline and provided with both of a control valve and an adjustable throttle or flow rate limiting valve.
- the second guiding tube can be further connected to a second auxiliary return conduit with a corresponding second control valve and a throttle or flow limiting valve.
