Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of printing equipment, in particular to a metal surface UV printing system. Background Art

[0002] Metal surface UV printing system is an advanced printing technology that allows high-resolution images, text or patterns to be printed directly on various metal surfaces. This system usually uses UV-curable ink, which cures quickly under UV light to form a durable, scratch-resistant and chemical-resistant image. When using the metal surface UV printing system, the print head needs to be fixed inside the device by fastening bolts, and then the printed image, text or pattern is transmitted to the control device by computers, mobile phones and other devices through data transmission devices. Later, when the metal material moves, the print head will spray UV ink on the metal surface to form the required image, text or pattern. After the metal material is UV printed, the ultraviolet light is emitted by the ultraviolet lamp to react chemically with the UV ink on the surface of the metal material, so that the UV ink is quickly solidified, thereby achieving the drying effect; After working for a long time, the fastening bolts of the existing metal surface UV printing system are corroded and fall off due to external influences, which affects the stability of the print head and reduces the accuracy of printing. When the metal material is UV printed, the impurities adhering to its surface will hinder the direct contact between the UV ink and the metal surface, resulting in uneven distribution of the ink, affecting the printing quality. In the subsequent curing work, since the position of the ultraviolet lamp is fixed, during the use of the ultraviolet lamp, if there are irregular shapes such as depressions or protrusions on the metal surface, some blind spots will be generated. Finally, the curing quality will be reduced due to incomplete local drying of the UV ink. For this reason, we propose a metal surface UV printing system. Summary of the invention

[0028] The present invention provides a metal surface UV printing system, and its working principle is as follows: During the use of the metal surface UV printing system, the print head 17 is first inserted into the installation groove set in the middle of the lower end of the partition plate 51 through the fixing rod 16, and then the electric push rod 55 starts to operate through the regulation of the control unit 2, and the telescopic end of the electric push rod 55 extends, so that the push plate 56 drives the limit rod 57 to move forward. During the process of the limit rod 57 moving forward, the limit rod 57 slides inside the limit groove and rotates relative to the limit groove, so that the limit rod 57 drives the connecting arm 53 to rotate forward with the vertical rod 52 as the center, and the connecting arm 53 drives the clamping plate 54 to rotate forward. At this time, the distance between the two clamping plates 54 gradually decreases, and finally the inner arc surface of the clamping plate 54 contacts the outer arc surface of the fixing rod 16, thereby realizing the print head. 17 is installed and fixed, and then the metal material that needs to be UV printed is placed on the left side of the upper end of the conveyor belt, and then connected to external computers, mobile phones and other devices through the data interface 15 to establish a data transmission channel, and then the computer, mobile phone and other devices transmit the printed image, text or pattern to the control unit 2 through the data interface 15. When the control unit 2 receives the data, the output shaft of the conveying motor 14 drives the conveying roller 13 on the left to rotate through the control unit 2, and the conveying roller 13 on the left drives the conveying roller 13 on the right to rotate through the conveyor belt, thereby driving the metal material to move to the right. In the process of moving the metal material, the servo motor 76 starts to run through the control unit 2, and the output shaft of the servo motor 76 drives When the movable center wheel 77 rotates, and the fixed post 78 on the rear side contacts the left end of the connecting plate 75, the fixed post 78 pushes the connecting plate 75 to move left, and the connecting plate 75 drives the fixed frame 73 to move left through the cross plate 72, and the fixed frame 73 drives the cleaning brush 74 to move left. At this time, the adjusting rod 11 slides in the limiting groove and rotates relative to the limiting groove, so that the adjusting rod 11 drives the cam 9 to rotate forward through the adjusting plate 10. When the fixed post 78 on the rear side is separated from the connecting plate 75 and the fixed post 78 on the front side contacts the cam 9, the fixed post 78 on the front side drives the cam 9 to rotate backward and reset. At this time, the adjusting rod 11 slides in the limiting groove and rotates relative to the limiting groove, so that the adjusting plate 10 drives the cross plate 72 to move right and reset through the adjusting rod 11. The cleaning brush 74 is driven to move rightward and reset through the fixing frame 73, and then the cleaning brush 74 is driven to perform a transverse reciprocating motion. During the back-and-forth movement of the cleaning brush 74, the bristles of the cleaning brush 74 clean the upper surface of the metal material. When the metal material moves to the inside of the protective cover 3, the control unit 2 controls the print head 17 to start running, and the print head 17 will spray UV ink on the metal surface to form the required image, text or pattern. When the metal material after UV printing moves to the lower side of the mounting frame 4, the control unit 2 controls the ultraviolet irradiation lamp 63 and the servo motor 68 to start running. During the operation of the ultraviolet irradiation lamp 63, the output shaft of the servo motor 68 drives the half gear 69 to rotate.When the half gear 69 is meshed with the driving gear 67, the driving gear 67 drives the right gear 66 to rotate through the right connecting rod 64, and the right gear 66 drives the left gear 66 to rotate through the meshing connection, thereby driving the two connecting rods 64 to rotate. The two connecting rods 64 rotate in opposite directions. When the connecting rod 64 rotates, it drives the transmission plate 65 to rotate toward the side close to the inner center of the mounting frame 4, and the torsion spring 12 is twisted. At this time, the push rod receives the thrust of the transmission plate 65 and starts to drive the ultraviolet irradiation lamp 63 to move through the vertical plate 62, and the spring 18 extends. When the half gear 69 is meshed with the driving gear When the wheel 67 is separated, the torsion spring 12 drives the left gear 66 to rotate and reset through the left connecting rod 64, and the left gear 66 drives the right gear 66 to rotate and reset through the meshing connection, so that the gear 66 drives the transmission plate 65 to rotate and reset through the connecting rod 64. At this time, the tension generated by the contraction of the spring 18 drives the ultraviolet irradiation lamp 63 to move and reset through the vertical plate 62, and then drives the ultraviolet irradiation lamp 63 to perform horizontal reciprocating motion. The ultraviolet irradiation lamp 63 can emit high-intensity ultraviolet rays to react chemically with the UV ink on the surface of the metal material, so that the UV ink is quickly solidified, thereby achieving a drying effect.
