Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of equipment for screen printing, in particular to a detection and assembly equipment for printing screens. BACKGROUND

[0002] Screen printing is a process of transferring a design from a stencil to a flat surface using a screen, ink, and a squeegee. A flexible thin-walled screen cylinder is an important component, and the screen is provided with printing mesh holes. The screen cylinder is formed by inserting two end rings into the two ends of the flexible thin-walled screen cylinder and bonding them.

[0003] Due to the high cost and complex processing technology (coating + laser engraving graphics) of the flexible cylindrical laser-engraved screen printing plate, it is easy to fold, leak, and block, and problems may occur in the processing, packaging, and transportation links, so it is necessary to check and timely feedback the screen before use, and most importantly, to ensure the printing quality of the product and reduce unnecessary economic losses. The traditional detection method is to manually check the graphics with a magnifying glass to see if there is a blockage, and to check the screen for creases by the naked eye. The efficiency is low, the detection accuracy is low, and it is inevitable that there will be missed detection or conditions that cannot be seen. This will affect the printing quality and the work efficiency is low. After checking, the end ring needs to be installed. The end ring is a ring-shaped metal product, and the end ring is divided into upper, middle and lower three parts. The upper part is a tapered guide ring, the middle part is a cylindrical support ring, and the bottom part is an installation ring. The support ring is in interference fit with the screen, the end of the screen cylinder is sleeved on the support ring and bonded, the installation ring is used to connect with the printing equipment, and the connection between the guide ring and the cylinder is transitionally connected. The end of the screen cylinder is provided with a glue hole, and then the edge of the screen cylinder is manually coated with glue and dried. Since the screen cylinder is flexible and needs to be in interference fit with the end ring, at least two experienced operators are needed to carefully sleeve the screen cylinder on the end ring during the net bonding process. The operation is complicated and requires experienced operators. If not careful, it will cause the screen to have creases or even tear, causing great economic losses. Moreover, during the glue coating process, due to the curvature of the screen cylinder, the glue needs to be coated and dried at the same time to prevent the glue from blocking the screen printing plate. In view of this situation, an equipment is urgently needed to efficiently check and install the end ring before screen printing, so as to improve the production efficiency and quality. SUMMARY
