DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0050] In order to make the technical problems solved by the present application, the technical solutions adopted and the technical effects achieved more clear, the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments of the present application. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all the other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative work fall within the scope of the present application.

[0051] In the description of the present application, unless explicitly defined and limited otherwise, the terms "connected", "connected", "fixed" should be understood broadly, for example, can be fixedly connected, can be detachably connected, or integrated; can be mechanically connected, can be electrically connected; can be directly connected, can be indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, can be the internal communication of two elements or the interaction relationship between two elements. For those skilled in the art, the specific meaning of the above terms in the present application can be understood according to the specific circumstances.

[0052] In the present application, unless explicitly defined and limited otherwise, the "upper" or "lower" of the first feature to the second feature can include that the first and second features are in direct contact, or can include that the first and second features are not in direct contact but are in contact through another feature between them. Moreover, the "upper", "above" and "on" of the first feature to the second feature includes that the first feature is directly above and obliquely above the second feature, or only indicates that the horizontal height of the first feature is higher than that of the second feature. The "below", "under" and "under" of the first feature to the second feature includes that the first feature is directly below and obliquely below the second feature, or only indicates that the horizontal height of the first feature is less than that of the second feature.

[0053] As Figures 1 to 16As shown, the present application provides a slide conveying mechanism, which is applied in a slide printing device. The slide conveying mechanism comprises a printing table 1, a carrying plate 2, a pressing assembly 3 and a lifting assembly 5. The printing table 1 is arranged obliquely, and a printing mechanism 500 of the slide printing device is arranged on one side of the printing table 1. An upper end of the printing table 1 is provided with an input end 12. After the slide 100 enters the printing table 1 from the input end 12, the slide 100 slides on a conveying surface of the printing table 1 in an oblique direction. When the slide 100 passes through the printing mechanism 500 on the conveying surface, the printing mechanism 500 performs printing processing on the slide 100. The carrying plate 2 is arranged above the printing table 1 in a spaced manner. One end of the carrying plate 2 is a discharging end 22. An upper side of the carrying plate 2 is provided with a carrying surface 21 for carrying the slide 100. The carrying plate 2 can be flipped downward around a specified axis, so that the discharging end 22 is flipped from an input position to an output position. When the discharging end 22 is at the input position, the slide 100 can be conveyed from the discharging end 22 to the carrying surface 21. When the discharging end 22 is at the output position, the slide 100 can slide from the discharging end 22 to the input end 12 of the printing table 1. Specifically, the carrying plate 2 is connected with a flipping component 8. The flipping component 8 is installed on a rack 200 of the slide printing device. The carrying plate 2 is flipped by the flipping component 8. The pressing assembly 3 comprises a pressing piece and a driving piece. The pressing piece is movably arranged on a side of the carrying plate 2 facing the carrying surface 21. The driving piece is used to drive the pressing piece to move close to the carrying surface 21. When the carrying plate 2 is flipped downward, the pressing piece presses the slide 100 on the carrying plate 2. When the discharging end 22 is flipped to the output position, the lifting assembly 5 drives the pressing assembly 3 to move away from the carrying surface 21, so as to release the slide 100. The slide printing device comprises a slide box 400 and a slide pushing mechanism 300. The slide box 400 is used to accommodate the slide 100 to be printed. When the discharging end 22 is at the input position, the slide pushing mechanism 300 pushes the slide 100 inside the slide box 400 out of the slide box 400 through the discharging end 22 and into the carrying surface 21. When the carrying plate 2 is flipped downward, the slide 100 is pressed on the carrying surface 21 by the pressing piece, so as to prevent the slide 100 from falling off the carrying plate 2. When the discharging end 22 is flipped to the output position, the lifting assembly 5 drives the pressing assembly 3 to move away from the carrying surface 21, so that the pressing assembly 3 releases the extrusion on the slide 100, thereby releasing the slide 100. Under the action of gravity, the slide 100 slides from the output end of the carrying plate 2 to the input end 12 of the printing table 1, so that the slide 100 enters the printing table 1. Through the cooperation of the pressing assembly 3 and the lifting assembly 5, the slide 100 is smoothly transferred from the carrying plate 2 to the printing table 1, and the slide 100 is prevented from falling out of the printing table 1 to cause the device to be stuck.

[0054] Specifically, the carrier plate 2 is provided with a mounting seat 23 of the carrier surface 21, and the pressing piece is movably arranged on the mounting seat 23. The mounting seat 23 provides support for the pressing piece, and by moving the pressing piece on the mounting seat 23, the pressing piece is moved close to or away from the carrier surface 21, so as to compress or release the glass sheet 100.

[0055] In an embodiment, referring to Figures 1 to 4 , the pressing piece has an abutting portion 38 protruding from one side of the carrier plate 2 in the width direction, and the lifting assembly 5 includes a lifting cam 51 arranged on one side of the carrier plate 2 in a spaced manner, the lifting cam 51 is connected to the rack 200, and the upper side of the lifting cam 51 is provided with a lifting surface 511. When the unloading end 22 is flipped to the output position, the lifting surface 511 abuts against the abutting portion 38 and lifts the pressing piece, so as to move the pressing piece away from the carrier surface 21. The lifting cam 51 exerts a force on the pressing piece to overcome the driving force of the driving member on the pressing piece, so as to move the pressing piece away from the carrier surface 21.

[0056] In order to enable the pressing piece to move smoothly, the lifting surface 511 is a convex arc surface, which protrudes upward, and the surface of the convex arc surface is smooth and free of sharp corners, so as to avoid the pressing piece from being stuck when the pressing piece is lifted.

[0057] Referring to Figure 4 , the upper side of the lifting cam 51 is further provided with a first transition surface 512 and a guide surface 513, the guide surface 513 is away from the unloading end 22, and the first transition surface 512 is connected between the lifting surface 511 and the guide surface 513, and the first transition surface 512 is a concave arc structure that is concave downward. By arranging the first transition surface 512 between the lifting surface 511 and the guide surface 513, the abutting portion 38 is buffered by the concave arc structure of the first transition surface 512 before abutting against the lifting surface 511, so as to slow down the movement speed of the pressing roller 31 before abutting against the lifting surface 511, thereby preventing the movement speed of the pressing piece from being too fast to be out of the mounting seat 23.

[0058] Continuing to refer to Figure 4The mounting seat 23 is provided with a mounting groove 231, and the sheet pressing member includes a sheet pressing roller 31 capable of rotating about its own axis, the axis of the sheet pressing roller 31 is perpendicular to the conveying direction of the glass sheet 100 on the conveying plate 2, and one end of the sheet pressing roller 31 in the axial direction is provided with a protruding section 311, the protruding section 311 is mounted in the mounting groove 231, the length direction of the mounting groove 231 is perpendicular to the conveying surface 21, and the end of the protruding section 311 away from the sheet pressing roller 31 penetrates out of the mounting groove 231 to form an abutting portion 38, and the protruding section 311 is capable of moving in the length direction of the mounting groove 231 to move the sheet pressing member away from or close to the conveying surface 21. It can be understood that when the blanking end 22 is located at the input position, the sheet pushing mechanism 300 pushes the glass sheet 100 in the glass sheet box 400 out, and the glass sheet 100 is capable of entering the gap between the sheet pressing member and the conveying surface 21 under the drive of the sheet pushing mechanism 300, and the rotatable sheet pressing roller 31 is arranged, the glass sheet 100 drives the sheet pressing roller 31 to rotate when the glass sheet 100 is pushed into the conveying surface 21, and the contact abrasion of the glass sheet 100 by the sheet pressing member is reduced.

[0059] In the example, the driving member is a magnetic attraction member 32, the magnetic attraction member 32 is capable of attracting the sheet pressing roller 31, and the magnetic attraction member 32 is fixed on the conveying plate 2. The magnetic attraction member 32 is a magnet, the conveying plate 2 is made of a non-magnetic material, for example, a plastic plate, etc., and the sheet pressing roller 31 is made of a magnetic material, for example, a metal that can be magnetically attracted. The sheet pressing roller 31 is attracted by the magnetic attraction member, so that the sheet pressing roller 31 has a tendency to move close to the conveying surface 21.

[0060] Specifically, the conveying plate 2 is provided with a fixing hole penetrating through its thickness direction, and the magnetic attraction member 32 is fixed in the fixing hole. Preferably, the magnetic attraction member 32 is provided with at least two, and the magnetic attraction members 32 are distributed along the width direction of the conveying surface 21, and each of the magnetic attraction members 32 is mounted in the fixing hole. By increasing the number of magnetic attraction members 32 along the width direction of the conveying plate 2, the magnetic attraction members 32 provide magnetic attraction force to multiple positions in the axial direction of the sheet pressing section 312, which is beneficial to uniform the pressing force of the sheet pressing roller 31 on the glass sheet 100 and reduce the shaking of the glass sheet 100 on the conveying surface 21.

[0061] In the example, the fixing hole is provided with two.

[0062] In another embodiment, referring to Figures 5 to 12 The jacking assembly 5 includes a jacking member 52, the jacking member 52 is arranged on the upper side or the lower side of the conveying plate 2, and the sheet pressing member is provided with the abutting portion 38, when the blanking end 22 is flipped to the output position, the jacking member 52 abuts against the abutting portion 38 and jacks up the sheet pressing member to move the sheet pressing member away from the conveying surface 21. In the embodiment, the jacking member 52 is arranged on the upper side or the lower side of the conveying plate 2, and the jacking member 52 can cooperate with the abutting portion 38 to selectively jack up the sheet pressing member.

[0063] In the embodiment, referring to Figure 6 , Figure 8 andFigure 10 The driving member includes elastic members 33, which are respectively connected with the mounting seat 23 and the pressing piece, and always have a tendency to drive the pressing piece to approach the carrying surface 21. The elastic members 33 are respectively connected with the mounting seat 23 and the pressing piece, and provide driving force for the pressing piece through elastic deformation of the elastic members 33.

[0064] In an example, referring to Figure 6 and Figure 8 , the mounting seat 23 is provided with a mounting groove 231, the pressing piece includes a pressing roller 31 capable of rotating around its own axis, the axis of the pressing roller 31 is perpendicular to the conveying direction of the slide 100 on the carrying plate 2, a protruding section 311 is mounted in the mounting groove 231, the length direction of the mounting groove 231 is perpendicular to the carrying surface 21, and the protruding section 311 is capable of moving in the length direction of the mounting groove 231, the end of the protruding section 311 away from the pressing roller 31 penetrates out of the mounting groove 231 to form a connecting portion 313, and one end of the elastic member 33 is connected with the connecting portion 313. Since the pressing roller 31 is capable of rotating around its own axis, the slide 100 drives the pressing roller 31 to rotate when the slide 100 is pushed into the carrying surface 21, thereby reducing the abrasion of the slide 100 by the pressing piece. The mounting seat 23 provides a fixed position for the elastic member 33, and the protruding section 311 provides space for the connection of the elastic member 33. In this example, the elastic member 33 is connected with the bottom of the mounting seat 23.

[0065] Referring to Figure 6 , the jacking members 52 are arranged at intervals on the upper side of the carrying surface 21 along the length direction of the carrying plate 2, the pressing roller 31 is spaced apart from the jacking members 52, and the jacking members 52 are close to the input position of the feeding end 22. The pressing roller 31 is provided with a groove around the recessed side thereof, and the groove bottom is an abutting portion 38. It can be understood that the pressing roller 31 is turned over with the carrying plate 2, when the carrying plate 2 is turned down, the feeding end 22 is moved downward, while the pressing roller 31 is gradually lifted and close to the jacking members 52, when the feeding end 22 is turned to the output position, the jacking members 52 abut against the groove bottom (i.e. the abutting portion 38) of the groove and jack up the pressing roller 31. The pressing roller 31 is provided with a groove around the recessed side thereof, and the groove can avoid part of the jacking members 52, thereby avoiding the position interference between the jacking members 52 and the slide 100 on the carrying surface 21.

[0066] The jacking member 52 includes a body 522 and a jacking portion 521, the body 522 is horizontally arranged, and the jacking portion 521 protrudes from one end of the body 522 close to the pressing roller 31, and can abut against the abutting portion 38. The jacking portion 521 jacks up the pressing roller 31 by abutting against the abutting portion 38.

[0067] In another example, referring to Figure 9 , Figure 10 and Figure 13The pressing piece includes a pressing protrusion 36 abutting against the slide 100 and a connecting piece 34 arranged on one side of the conveying surface 21 at intervals. One end of the connecting piece 34 is movably connected to the mounting base 23 through a first connecting shaft 35, and the other end extends horizontally towards the conveying surface 21. The pressing protrusion 36 is arranged at the bottom of the connecting piece 34. One end of the elastic piece 33 is connected to the first connecting shaft 35, and the other end is connected to the mounting base 23. The lower end of the first connecting shaft 35 penetrates through the mounting base 23 and extends out of the bottom of the mounting base 23 to form an abutting portion 38. The jacking piece 52 is protrudingly arranged at the input end 12 of the printing platform 1. Specifically, the mounting base 23 is provided with a mounting hole, the first connecting shaft 35 is arranged in the mounting hole, the length direction of the mounting hole is perpendicular to the conveying surface 21, and the first connecting shaft 35 can move along the length direction of the mounting hole. Specifically, the pressing protrusion 36 is connected to the connecting piece 34 through a second connecting shaft 37. The pressing piece has a certain gravity, and the conveying plate 2 also has a turnover driving force, and the joint action of the two causes the jacking piece 52 to jack up the pressing piece. In the example, the pressing protrusion 36 has a spherical structure, and the spherical surface of the hemispherical structure abuts against the slide 100, so as to avoid scratching the slide 100 by the edges and corners on the surface of the pressing protrusion 36. In other examples, the shape of the pressing protrusion 36 can be flexibly changed as needed, and the shape of the pressing protrusion 36 is not specifically limited herein.

[0068] With reference to Figure 9 , Figure 10 and Figure 13 , the slide 100 needs to be pushed into the gap between the pressing protrusion 36 and the conveying surface 21, and the slide 100 will be abraded when moving in contact with the pressing protrusion 36. To this end, the slide conveying mechanism further includes a slide entering lifting assembly 4. The slide entering lifting assembly 4 includes a slide entering pressing piece 42 spaced from the conveying plate 2 and a lifting piece 41 connected to the connecting piece 34. The slide entering pressing piece 42 is located on one side of the conveying plate 2. When the discharging end 22 is located at the input position, the slide entering pressing piece 42 presses the lifting piece 41 to drive the pressing piece away from the conveying surface 21. The slide entering pressing piece 42 is arranged to press the lifting piece 41 to drive the pressing piece away from the conveying surface 21, thereby increasing the distance between the pressing piece and the conveying surface 21, reserving space for the slide 100 to enter, and preventing the slide 100 from being abraded by the pressing protrusion 36.

[0069] With reference to Figure 10The lifting piece 41 comprises a first plate 411, a second plate 412 and a third plate 413 connecting the first plate 411 and the second plate 412, the first plate 411 and the second plate 412 are spaced apart along the thickness direction of the carrying plate 2, the first plate 411 is connected with the connecting piece 34, the second plate 412 is located below the carrying plate 2 and protrudes from one side of the carrying plate 2 in the width direction, the second plate 412 can be in contact with the sheet pressing piece 42, and the third plate 413 is hinged with the side surface of the carrying plate 2. In this structure of the lifting piece 41, since the third plate 413 is hinged with the side surface of the carrying plate 2, when the sheet pressing piece 42 presses the lifting piece 41, the lifting piece 41 can rotate around the hinged part between the third plate 413 and the carrying plate 2, so that the lifting piece 41 moves more smoothly.

[0070] In order to make the structure of the lifting piece 41 and the connecting piece 34 more compact, the bottom of the first plate 411 abuts against the connecting piece 34, and when the lifting piece 41 rotates around the hinged part, the first plate 411 is flipped upward, thereby driving the connecting piece 34 to be lifted.

[0071] Specifically, the bottom of the connecting piece 34 is recessed to form an avoiding groove 341, the groove opening of the avoiding groove 341 faces downward, the first plate 411 is inserted into the avoiding groove 341, and when the lifting piece 41 rotates upward, the second plate 412 is lifted to abut against the groove bottom of the avoiding groove 341 and lift the connecting piece 34 to move upward.

[0072] With reference to Figure 4 , Figure 6 and Figure 8 , in the case that the sheet pressing piece comprises a sheet pressing roller 31, the sheet pressing roller 31 comprises a sheet pressing segment 312, and the peripheral portion of the sheet pressing segment 312 is provided with a plurality of sheet pressing planes 3121, all the sheet pressing planes 3121 are spaced apart around the axis of the sheet pressing roller 31, and two adjacent sheet pressing planes 3121 are connected by a second transition surface 3122 to make the two adjacent sheet pressing planes 3121 transition gently. By providing a plurality of sheet pressing planes 3121 on the peripheral portion of the sheet pressing segment 312, the slide 100 can be pressed tightly by at least one sheet pressing plane 3121 regardless of the rotation of the sheet pressing segment 312. By providing the sheet pressing planes 3121 to press the slide 100 on the carrying surface 21, the contact area of the sheet pressing roller 31 with the slide 100 can be increased, the slide 100 can be pressed stably on the carrying surface 21, and the stability of the slide 100 on the carrying plate 2 is improved.

[0073] Preferably, the sheet pressing plane 3121 is rectangular. The length direction of the sheet pressing plane 3121 is parallel to the axial direction of the sheet pressing roller 31, which can maximize the contact area of the sheet pressing roller 31 with the slide 100, and further improve the stability of the slide 100 on the carrying plate 2.

[0074] As a preferred embodiment, with reference to Figure 1 , Figure 5 andFigure 9 The slide conveying mechanism further comprises a blocking assembly arranged near the input end 12. The blocking assembly comprises a guard plate 6 which is arranged on one side of the printing platform 1 and the lower end of the guard plate 6 is inclined towards the conveying surface of the printing platform 1, and a channel for passing the slide 100 is formed between the guard plate 6 and the conveying surface. It can be understood that when the dispensing end 22 is located at the output position, the carrying plate 2 is inclined downward, and during the process that the slide 100 slides off the carrying plate 2 to the printing platform 1, the slide 100 is easy to fall outside the printing platform 1. In this embodiment, the guard plate 6 is arranged to block and guide the slide 100, so that the slide 100 can be smoothly transferred from the carrying plate 2 to the printing platform 1, and the slide 100 is prevented from falling off to cause the machine to be jammed.

[0075] The guardrails 11 are arranged on the two sides of the printing platform 1 respectively.

[0076] Referring to Figure 16 As another preferred scheme, the slide conveying mechanism in this scheme is basically the same as the slide conveying mechanism described above, and the difference lies in that at least one side of the carrying plate 2 in the width direction is provided with a slide entering position 24, at least one side of the carrying plate 2 in the length direction is provided with a slide entering position 24, and the slide entering position 24 is communicated with the carrying surface 21. This design can flexibly change the positions and numbers of the slide boxes 400, so that the slide 100 mechanism can push the slide 100 into the carrying surface 21 from different slide entering positions 24. In other examples, only at least one side of the carrying plate 2 in the width direction is provided with a slide entering position 24, or only at least one side of the carrying plate 2 in the length direction is provided with a slide entering position 24.

[0077] When the carrying plate 2 is provided with the slide entering position 24 in the length direction, the dispensing end 22 can be used as the slide entering position 24, that is, the dispensing end 22 is the slide entering position 24.

[0078] In order to prevent the slide 100 from sliding out of the carrying plate 2 in the width direction, the two sides of the carrying plate 2 in the width direction are provided with protection parts 25 which avoid the slide entering position 24.

[0079] In an embodiment, referring to Figure 9 、 Figure 11 、 Figure 14 and Figure 15Also provided is a slide printing device, comprising a slide box 400 for containing slides 100 to be printed, a slide pushing mechanism 300 for pushing the slides 100 in the slide box 400 to a carrying plate 2 of a slide conveying mechanism, a printing mechanism 500 arranged at one side of the printing table 1 for printing information on the slides 100 on the printing table 1, and the slide conveying mechanism having the above-mentioned structure. In the process of the carrying plate 2 being flipped downward around the setting axis, the driving member drives the slide pressing member to press the slides 100 tightly on the carrying surface 21, so as to avoid the slides 100 from falling off the carrying plate 2. When the discharge end 22 is flipped to the output position, the jacking assembly 5 drives the slide pressing member to move away from the carrying surface 21, so as to release the pressing on the slides 100, thereby releasing the slides 100. The slides 100 automatically slide from the output end of the carrying plate 2 to the input end 12 of the printing table 1 under the action of the gravity of the slides 100. Through the cooperation of the slide pressing assembly 3 and the jacking assembly 5, the slides 100 are smoothly transferred from the carrying plate 2 to the printing table 1, and the slides 100 are prevented from falling out of the printing table 1 to cause the device to be jammed.

The detector 9 is used for detecting the slides 100 in the corresponding slide box 400. The slide pushing action of the slide pushing mechanism 300 is controlled by the main controller. The main controller controls each slide pushing mechanism 300 to push out the slides 100 in the corresponding slide box 400 according to the set order. When the detector 9 detects that the slides 100 in the current slide box 400 are used up, the main controller receives the information and controls the next slide pushing mechanism 300 to push out the slides 100 in the corresponding slide box 400. In this way, until all the slides 100 in the slide boxes 400 are used up, the device is stopped and the slides 100 are added to all the slide boxes 400 or the slide boxes 400 containing the slides 100 are replaced. In this way, different slide boxes can be seamlessly used, the time for adding the slides 100 is saved, the number of device downtime is reduced, and the printing efficiency is improved.

The roller 305 is arranged on the slide pushing piece 301, and in the process of pushing the slide 100, the upper slide 100 of the slide 100 is in contact with the roller 305 and is slightly lifted by the roller 305, so that the upper slide 100 is prevented from being scratched.

[0083] In order to make the movement of the slide pushing piece 301 smooth, the slide pushing mechanism 300 further includes a slide rail 304 arranged below the motor driving part, the length direction of the slide rail 304 is parallel to the length direction of the slide hole 401, and the connecting plate 303 slides in cooperation with the slide rail 304.
