[0020] The utility model drives printing roller 2 to move through adjusting mechanism 6 to adjust the spacing between printing roller 2 and impression roller 3 for the printing work of carton of different thicknesses, since printing roller 2 does circular motion with the rotation axis of anilox roller 4 as the center line, printing roller 2 can be in contact with the surface of anilox roller 4 all the time, so that when drive mechanism 7 drives printing roller 2, impression roller 3 and anilox roller 4 to rotate, the ink on anilox roller 4 can be adhered to printing roller 2, so as to print the carton passing between printing roller 2 and impression roller 3. Since the utility model only needs to drive printing roller 2 to move to realize the purpose of adjusting the spacing between printing roller 2 and impression roller 3, the position of anilox roller 4 and ink fountain 5 does not need to move, so as to reduce the probability of shaking and imbalance in the adjusting process, improve the accuracy of adjustment to ensure the quality of printing, reduce the energy consumption in the adjusting process and reduce the operation cost of flexographic printing machine.

[0021] Referring to Figure 2 , Figure 3 ​The adjusting mechanism 6 comprises an upper arc-shaped sliding groove 61, an upper supporting rod 62 and a screw rod motor 63, the upper sliding groove 61 is provided with two and is respectively arranged on the left and right sides of the rack 1, the center of the upper sliding groove 61 is located on the rotation axis of the anilox roller 4, the left and right ends of the printing roller 2 are respectively slidably arranged in the two upper sliding grooves 61, the upper supporting rod 62 is provided with two and is respectively arranged on the left and right sides of the rack 1, the left and right ends of the printing roller 2 are provided with upper bearing seats 64, and the two upper bearing seats 64 are respectively slidably arranged on the two upper supporting rods 62, and the upper supporting rod 62 is driven to move up and down by the screw rod motor 63.

[0022] When the screw rod motor 63 drives the upper supporting rod 62 to move up and down, the upper bearing seat 64 moves forward and backward on the upper supporting rod 62, so that the left and right ends of the printing roller 2 can move along the track of the upper sliding groove 61, and since the center of the upper sliding groove 61 is located on the rotation axis of the anilox roller 4, the printing roller 2 can always be in contact with the anilox roller 4 when moving along the sliding groove, and the purpose of adhering ink on the printing roller 2 by the anilox roller 4 can be achieved.
