Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a mesh oblique drawing process. Background Art

[0002] Screen printing requires a screen, which is mainly composed of a steel mesh, a polymer film, and a screen frame. Existing screens basically use a square mesh, that is, the weft and warp in the steel mesh are perpendicular to each other. However, using a diamond mesh to prepare the screen is also an option. This requires stretching the square mesh of the steel mesh into a diamond mesh before preparing the screen. At present, the steel mesh is generally stretched manually, which has low production efficiency and cannot accurately control the stretching angle, thus affecting the quality of the steel mesh. Summary of the invention

[0003] The object of the present invention is to provide a mesh oblique drawing process, comprising the following steps:

[0004] A pair of manipulators are used to respectively clamp a pair of opposite sides of a rectangular steel wire mesh cloth, wherein the mesh of the steel wire mesh cloth is a square;

[0005] Then the pair of manipulators are moved away from each other until the wire mesh is stretched and tightened;

[0006] Then, the pair of manipulators are rotated synchronously clockwise or counterclockwise to stretch the grid of the wire mesh cloth from a square to a rhombus, so that a pair of right-angled diagonals in the square grid are stretched into a pair of acute angles in the rhombus grid, and another pair of right-angled diagonals in the square grid are stretched into a pair of obtuse angles in the rhombus grid, and the angle of a pair of acute angles in the rhombus grid reaches a predetermined angle range.

[0007] Preferably, the predetermined angle ranges from 7 to 20 degrees.

[0008] Preferably, the pair of manipulators synchronously rotate clockwise or counterclockwise to keep the wire mesh cloth in a straight state.

[0009] Preferably, a detector is used to confirm whether the angle of a pair of acute angles in the diamond grid is within a predetermined angle range.

[0010] Preferably, the manipulator includes: a horizontal pull rod, a mesh pulling clamp arranged on the pull rod and used to clamp one edge line of the rectangular wire mesh cloth, a vertical rotating shaft whose bottom end is connected to the middle of the pull rod, a motor connected to the top of the rotating shaft and used to drive the rotating shaft to rotate around its own axis, and a mechanical arm that drives the motor to move.

[0011] The advantages and beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0012] The invention provides a mesh oblique drawing process, which adopts a pair of manipulators to stretch the steel wire mesh, and can stretch the grid of the steel wire mesh from a square to a diamond.

[0013] The present invention adopts a robot to replace manpower, can produce more efficiently, and can stabilize the quality of the stretched mesh.

[0014] Compared with manual stretching, the present invention can adjust the required angle more accurately.

[0015] The present invention can more accurately control the stretching angle, reduce labor costs, and ensure that the quality of the mesh is above a certain level, so that the subsequent process can reduce the error value.

[0016] The present invention uses a manipulator to stretch the mesh cloth, which reduces human factors to a minimum, and can improve production capacity and production rate at the same time.

[0017] The invention spreads a layer of fixed adhesive film on the steel wire mesh cloth, and brushes it back and forth 3-4 times with an electrostatic brush to remove static electricity, so that the fixed adhesive film and the mesh cloth are closely attached without bubbles, and the fixed adhesive film and the mesh cloth are flat.
