[0025] The paper conveying device 20 includes a printing cylinder 21, a first transfer cylinder 22, and a second transfer cylinder 23. The printing cylinder 21, the first transfer cylinder 22, and the second transfer cylinder 23 are rotatably connected to a frame 40 from back to front. Gears 24 are mounted on the ends of the printing cylinder 21, the first transfer cylinder 22, and the second transfer cylinder 23. The gears 24 mesh with each other. The gear 24 on the printing cylinder 21 meshes with the gear 24 on the first transfer cylinder 22, and the gear 24 on the first transfer cylinder 22 meshes with the gear 24 on the second transfer cylinder 23. A drive motor 25 is mounted on the frame 40 to drive the printing cylinder 21, the first transfer cylinder 22, and the second transfer cylinder 23. A transmission gear is fixed to the output shaft of the drive motor 25 and meshes with the gear 24 on the printing cylinder 21. In this embodiment, the printing cylinder 21 rotates clockwise, and accordingly, the first transfer cylinder 22 rotates counterclockwise, and the second transfer cylinder 23 rotates clockwise. The printing cylinder 21 is a double-diameter cylinder, while the first and second transfer cylinders 22 and 23 are single-diameter cylinders. The diameter of the double-diameter cylinders is twice that of the single-diameter cylinders. In this embodiment, the diameter of the double-diameter cylinders is 300-800 mm, while the diameter of the single-diameter cylinders is 150-720 mm. An inkjet device 50 is located directly above the printing cylinder 21. The inkjet device 50 includes a nozzle for spraying ink.

[0026] The paper conveying device 70 includes a first paper feed mechanism 71 and a second paper feed mechanism 72, both driven by motors.

The upper end of the second paper feed mechanism 72 is connected to the first paper feed mechanism 71, and the lower end is connected to the flipping device 60. The paper conveying device 20, the flipping device 60, the second paper feed mechanism 72, and the first paper feed mechanism 71 form a closed loop for conveying paper. The first and second paper feed mechanisms 71 and 72 each include a paper feed conveyor belt for conveying paper, a paper feed driving roller and a paper feed driven roller connected to the paper feed conveyor belt, and a paper feed drive motor for driving the paper feed driving roller. The paper feed drive motor drives the paper feed conveyor belt via the paper feed driving roller to convey paper, and the paper feed driven roller cooperates with the paper feed driven roller and, as needed, with an appropriate tensioning roller.

[0027] The flipping device 60 includes a flip plate 61 and a flip paper feed mechanism 62 driven by a motor. The flip plate 61 is a twisted stainless steel plate. The flip plate 61 is a plate body formed by rotating and twisting the stainless steel plate 180 degrees. The front and back sides of the flip plate 61 are curved surfaces formed by twisting. The flip paper feed mechanism 62 is connected to the second paper transfer roller 23. The first end of the flip plate 61 is located below the flip paper feed mechanism 62 and a gap for receiving paper is formed between the first end of the flip plate 61 and the flip paper feed mechanism 62. The second end of the flip plate 61 is connected to the lower end of the second paper feed mechanism 72. The front side of the first end of the flip plate 61 is set upward and faces the flip paper feed mechanism 62. The back side of the second end of the flip plate 61 is also set upward. The paper is guided by the front side of the first end of the flip plate 61 and the back side of the second end to achieve 180-degree flipping. The flipping and feeding mechanism 62 includes a flipping and feeding conveyor belt for conveying paper, a flipping and feeding driving roller and a flipping and feeding driven roller connected to the flipping and feeding conveyor belt, and a flipping and feeding drive motor for driving the flipping and feeding driving roller. The flipping and feeding drive motor drives the flipping and feeding conveyor belt via the flipping and feeding driving roller to convey paper, and the flipping and feeding driven roller cooperates with the flipping and feeding driven roller. By using the flipping plate 61 instead of the multiple rollers used in the prior art, the structure of the above-mentioned inkjet printing device is simplified.

[0028] The paper collection device 30 is located on the rear side of the paper conveying device 20, and includes a paper collection mechanism 31 and a paper collection platform 33. The paper collection platform 33 is connected to the paper conveying device 20 through the paper collection mechanism 31, and is driven to rise and fall by the paper collection lifting drive motor 32; the paper collection mechanism 31 is used to convey the printed paper to the paper collection platform 33.

The paper collection mechanism 31 includes a paper collection conveyor belt for conveying paper and two paper collection rollers 311 connected to the paper collection conveyor belt. A gear 24 is installed on the end of one of the paper collection rollers 311 and meshes with the gear 24 on the printing cylinder 21.

[0029] When the present invention is used, paper is placed on the paper table 12, and then the drive motor 25 is started. The drive motor 25 drives the printing roller 21, the first paper transfer roller 22 and the second paper transfer roller 23 to rotate. The paper suction flyer 11 absorbs the paper on the top of the paper table 12 and conveys the paper to the printing roller 21 through the first paper feeding mechanism 71. The paper rotates clockwise with the printing roller 21 so that the front side of the paper faces upward. The inkjet device 50 prints on the front side of the paper. After the printing is completed, the paper is transferred in sequence through the first paper transfer roller 22 and the second paper transfer roller 23; then the paper is transferred to the flip feeder by the second paper transfer roller 23. The front side of the paper is facing upwards in the gap between the flip plate 62 and the first end of the flip plate 61. The flipping paper feed mechanism 62 presses the paper and carries the paper forward, so that the paper moves from the front side of the first end of the flip plate 61 to the back side of the second end and is flipped 180 degrees. At this time, the back side of the paper is facing upwards. After the flipping is completed, the paper is sequentially conveyed to the printing roller 21 through the second paper feed mechanism 72 and the first paper feed mechanism 71. When the paper reaches the printing roller 21 again, the back side of the paper is facing upwards, and the inkjet device 50 prints on the back side of the paper. Finally, the printed paper is conveyed to the paper receiving table 33 through the paper receiving mechanism 31.

[0030] In the above-mentioned inkjet printing device provided by the present invention, the paper conveying device 20, the flipping device 60 and the paper feeding device 70 form a closed loop for conveying paper. After the inkjet device 50 prints on the front side of the paper, the paper is flipped 180 degrees by the flipping plate 61, and the paper is conveyed back to the inkjet device 50 by the paper feeding device 70 to print on the back side of the paper. Only a single inkjet device 50 is required, and the flipping plate 61 is used to replace the multiple rollers in the prior art. Therefore, compared with the prior art, the number of rollers and the number of inkjet devices 50 as consumables are reduced, the structure of the above-mentioned inkjet printing device is simplified, and the weight of the equipment and the cost of accessories used in the equipment manufacturing are reduced.

[0031] Any matters not mentioned in the above specific embodiments of the present invention belong to the common knowledge in this field and can be implemented with reference to the common knowledge.

[0032] The above description is based on the ideal embodiment of the present invention.
