Abstract

A color paint formula adjusting system and the method thereof are provided, which allow a user to log onto with a stand-alone or a network, input color paint and adjust it. By computer-aided computing of mix ratio of resin, the color paint is made satisfactory to restrictive conditions of physical and chemical properties, with the color unchanged, wherein the color paint is manufactured by mixing a plurality of color pastes. And color paste content data and color paint mix ratios are stored in a database. The mixture contents input by the user and the amounts thereof to be added are corrected by color paint formula adjusting system.

Claims

1. A color paint formula adjusting system, comprising a setting of a plurality of paint systems and color paints coating to a plurality of different material coated objects, comprising:

a database, for storing data of a plurality of color paint formulas, a plurality of restrictive conditions according to physical and chemical properties of each paint system and each color paint of coated object, and a mix ratio of the plurality of color paint formulas of each paint system;

an acquiring module, for acquiring a plurality of amounts and units of each color paint formula input by a user;

a query module, for querying the data of each color paint formula input by the user, data of specific ratios among resins of the color paints of corresponding paint system and color paint of coated object, and the restrictive conditions of each color paint formula input by the user in the database, wherein the restrictive conditions include;

2. The system according to claim 1, further comprises a network module, for receiving logging-in of a plurality of users from a network system and determining authentication data of each user.

3. The system according to claim 1, wherein the database is a relational database.

4. The system according to claim 1, wherein the paint system comprises a PU paint system, a baking coating system, an epoxy paint system, a thermoplastic acrylic resin paint system, a nitrocellosolve paint system, or any combination thereof.

5. The system according to claim 1, wherein the data of each color paint formula comprises one or more toner powder, one or more filler, one or more toner powder special resin, one or more resin corresponding to that of the paint systems, or any combination thereof.

6. The system according to claim 1, wherein each limit value is obtained through pre-experiments.

7. A method for adjusting a color paint formula, applicable in a database with data of a plurality of color paint formulas, a plurality of restrictive conditions of physical and chemical properties corresponding to each paint system and each color paint of coated object, and a plurality of mix ratios of color paint formulas for each paint system stored therein, comprising:

acquiring a paint system and a color paint of coated object selected by a user and a plurality of amounts and units of each color paint formula input by the user;

inputting each color paint formula according to the paint system and the color paint of coated object selected by the user, querying the data and each restrictive condition of each color paint formula of the paint system and the color paint of coated object in the database, and calculating each theory value of total resin solid content of each color paint formula;

integrating into a plurality of statistic values and a value of total resin solid content according to the data of each color paint formula, so as to calculate a plurality of ratio values;

determining whether each ratio value satisfies each restrictive condition of the physical and chemical properties according to each acquired restrictive condition comparing with each corresponding ratio value; and

estimating a plurality of adjustment values according to the mix ratio of each color paint formula and the value of total resin solid content or the theory value of total resin solid content under keeping the amount of toner powder and the amount of filler of each color paint input by the user constantly.

8. The method according to claim 7, wherein the statistic values comprise a total resin solid content value for toner powder special resin, a filler value, a total value of the fillers interacting with each other, a sum value of total toner powder value plus the total filler value, a total toner powder value, and a total filler value.

9. The method according to claim 8, wherein the mixing ratios are calculated and obtained with a plurality of equations applied to each statistic value and each value of total resin solid content, wherein the equations include:

10. The method according to claim 8, wherein the theory value of total resin solid content is a largest theory value of total resin content among a plurality of theory values of total resin solid content which are calculated and obtained by using an equation of

11. The method according to claim 7, wherein each restrictive condition comprises a plurality of equations of

12. The method according to claim 11, wherein the equations for restrictive conditions are

13. The method according to claim 11, wherein each limit value is obtained through pre-experiments.

14. The method according to claim 7, wherein the step of estimating a plurality of adjustment values is determined by whether each mixing ratio of each color paint formula satisfies each restrictive condition, if not, each of the theory values of total resin solid content is calculated, and then among resins under with specific ratios, adjustment values of each inputting formula is calculated according to the value of total resin solid content or the theory value of total resin solid content.
