Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of printing and dyeing technology, and particularly relates to a simplified direct printing method with plate matching, specifically a dyeing method and a double-plate printing machine that sequentially applies dyes and auxiliaries on the same equipment. Background Technology
[0002] In many applications, it is necessary to perform single-sided or double-sided multiple printing processes on substrates such as films, rolls of paper, and fabrics.
[0003] Meanwhile, in the traditional textile printing and dyeing process, the fabric needs to be coated with dye or various chemical working liquids, and then the fabric with dye is heated and dried, colored, and fixed. There are many traditional coating methods, such as uniform coating and heavy-duty coating. However, these methods result in a high liquid content after the fabric is coated, which can easily cause problems such as dye migration during the subsequent high-temperature drying process, affecting product quality. In addition, the energy consumption of the drying process is too high, which is not conducive to energy conservation and environmental protection.
[0004] During the dyeing process of reactive dyes, the dye will hydrolyze in the fixing alkali solution. A better solution is to apply the dye and fixing alkali in two steps to reduce hydrolysis. In the traditional continuous dyeing process, the dye is applied with alkali, dried, and then the fixing alkali is applied again, and finally dried again. This has the disadvantages of long equipment process and high energy consumption. Summary of the Invention
[0005] To overcome the shortcomings of the prior art, the present invention provides a dyeing method and a two-plate printing machine that sequentially apply dyes and auxiliaries on the same equipment, thereby solving the problems existing in the prior art.
[0006] One aspect of the present invention provides a dual-plate printing machine, which includes at least a frame, a dual-plate printing assembly, a common pressure roller, and a power unit. The dual-plate printing assembly includes at least a first printing device and a second printing device sequentially mounted on the frame.
[0007] The first printing apparatus includes at least a first printing roller, a first doctor blade assembly, and a first feeding assembly. The first printing roller is pressed together with the common pressure roller, and the first printing roller is cooperated with the first doctor blade assembly.
[0008] The first scraper assembly includes at least a first blade holder, a first scraper blade, and a first advance / retreat adjustment device. The first advance / retreat adjustment device is fixed on the frame and connected to the first blade holder. The first scraper blade is connected to the first blade holder, and the cutting edge of the first scraper blade is adjustablely configured to cooperate with the first printing roller. The first feeding assembly includes at least a first material trough.
[0009] The second printing apparatus includes at least a second printing roller, a second doctor blade assembly, and a second feeding assembly. The second printing roller is pressed together with the common pressure roller, and the second printing roller is cooperated with the second doctor blade assembly.
[0010] The second scraper assembly includes at least a second blade holder, a second scraper blade, and a second advance / retreat adjustment device. The second advance / retreat adjustment device is fixed on the frame and connected to the second blade holder. The second scraper blade is connected to the second blade holder, and the cutting edge of the second scraper blade is adjustablely configured to cooperate with the second printing roller. The second feeding assembly includes at least a second material trough.
[0011] The first printing roller and the second printing roller are arranged one after the other and are rotatably connected to the frame. The first printing roller and the second printing roller rotate in the same direction. The working surfaces of the first printing roller and the second printing roller are in contact with the same surface of the substrate.
[0012] The common pressure roller is positioned above or below the first printing roller and the second printing roller. The common pressure roller is rotatably connected to the frame via bearings at both ends. The common pressure roller is an elastic rubber-coated roller. The common pressure roller is disengaged from the first printing roller and the second printing roller and is synchronously driven by the power unit.
[0013] In this solution, during the printing process between the first and second printing rollers, the substrate is always covered by the surface of the shared pressure roller, and the substrate is driven by the two pressure rollers. That is to say, the path and length of the substrate between the first and second printing rollers are fixed. The first and second printing rollers share the same power unit, and the shared pressure roller presses on the first and second printing rollers respectively. Therefore, the speed of the shared pressure roller is the same, and there will be no stretching deformation as in traditional processes. Furthermore, the same power unit is connected to the first and / or second printing rollers through gears, or the first printing roller, the shared pressure roller, and the second printing roller are sequentially driven by gears. The transmission of the entire printing process is precise, and the alignment between the first and second printing rollers is simple, requiring only one alignment when installing the printing rollers. There is no need to consider alignment issues during subsequent operation.
[0014] In one preferred embodiment of the present invention, baffles are provided on the outer sides of the two shaft ends of the common pressure roller, and the shaft ends of the two common pressure rollers are respectively connected to the baffles through thrust bearings. The baffles are used to limit the axial movable stroke of the common pressure roller. A pressure device is connected to the two shaft ends of the common pressure roller, and the pressure device is used to adjust the pressure and position of the common pressure roller. The pressure device is driven by a position alignment component, which is used to adjust the angle and posture of the common pressure roller when there is uneven force between the common pressure roller and the first printing roller or the second printing roller, so that the common pressure roller runs smoothly.
[0015] In one preferred embodiment of the present invention, the common pressure roller is connected to a lifting device, the lifting device is connected to the frame, and the common pressure roller is rotatably connected to the lifting device through a bearing provided at its shaft end. The common pressure roller is disengaged from and presses against the first printing roller and the second printing roller respectively through the lifting device. The lifting device includes a sliding device and a lifting power device. The lifting power device is any one of a cylinder, a hydraulic cylinder, or a worm gear, and the sliding device is any one of a linear bearing or a slide rail.
[0016] In one preferred embodiment of the present invention, the dual-plate printing assembly is provided in two sets, each set of the dual-plate printing assembly includes its own first printing device and second printing device, the two sets of the dual-plate printing assembly are arranged one after the other, and each set of the dual-plate printing assembly is provided with a corresponding heating device on the discharge side, the substrate passes through the first set of the dual-plate printing assembly and the second set of the dual-plate printing assembly in sequence, and the dual-plate printing machine is used to continuously print and dry the same side of the substrate.
[0017] In one preferred embodiment of the present invention, the double-plate printing assembly is provided in two sets, each set including its own first printing device and second printing device. The two sets of double-plate printing assemblies are arranged sequentially according to the process flow and are mirror images of each other. The two sets of double-plate printing assemblies operate in opposite directions. Each double-plate printing assembly has a corresponding heating device in its output direction. Furthermore, the heating devices corresponding to the two sets of double-plate printing assemblies are arranged vertically and located in the same heating chamber. The substrate passes through the first set of double-plate printing assemblies and the second set of double-plate printing assemblies in sequence. The double-plate printing machine is used to print and dry the front and back sides of the substrate in sequence.
[0018] Furthermore, the first printing device of each of the two sets of dual-plate printing components applies reactive dye to the substrate, and the second printing device of each of the two sets of dual-plate printing components applies a fixing agent to the substrate. The substrate is then subjected to reactive dye application on the front side, fixing agent application, and drying, followed by reactive dye application on the back side, fixing agent application, and drying, finally resulting in a product that is dyed or printed on both sides.
[0019] This solution not only allows for single-sided or double-sided monochrome and multi-color printing on substrates, but also enables dyeing processes with low liquid content, making it widely applicable.
[0020] In one preferred embodiment of the present invention, four sets of dual-plate printing components are provided. Each of the four sets of dual-plate printing components includes its own first printing device and second printing device. The four sets of dual-plate printing components are arranged sequentially according to the process flow. The first and third sets of dual-plate printing components are mirror images of the second and fourth sets of dual-plate printing components. The first and third sets of dual-plate printing components operate in the same direction and are used to print on the front side of the substrate. The second and fourth sets of dual-plate printing components operate in the same direction but opposite to the first and third sets of dual-plate printing components and are used to print on the back side of the substrate. Each dual-plate printing component has a corresponding heating device in its output direction. The heating devices corresponding to the four sets of dual-plate printing components are arranged vertically and housed in the same heating chamber. The substrate passes sequentially through the first, second, third, and fourth sets of dual-plate printing components. The dual-plate printing machine is used to continuously print and dry the front and back sides of the substrate.
[0021] In one application scenario of this solution, the material tanks of the first and second sets of dual-plate printing components contain reactive dyes, while the material tanks of the third and fourth sets of dual-plate printing components contain fixing alkalis. The reactive dyes are applied to both sides of the fabric via the first and second sets of dual-plate printing components. After being heated and dried, the fabric enters the third and fourth sets of dual-plate printing components to apply fixing alkalis to both sides. After the fixing alkalis are applied, the fabric is heated and dried again, and the reactive dyes are then bonded to the fabric, completing the dyeing process.
[0022] In this solution, with multiple double-plate printing components set up continuously, the ingenious process setup allows the replacement of multiple traditional heating devices with a single heating device, saving equipment and a significant amount of energy.
[0023] In one preferred embodiment of the present invention, the first material trough is disposed below the first printing roller, the lower part of the first printing roller is immersed in the working fluid in the first material trough, and the first material trough is integrally disposed with the first knife holder, that is, the trough body of the first material trough is the first knife holder, the first scraper blade is connected to the end of the first knife holder, and the blade edge is configured to cooperate with the first printing roller.
[0024] The second material trough is located below the second printing roller. The lower part of the second printing roller is immersed in the working fluid in the second material trough. The second material trough is integrally formed with the second blade holder, that is, the trough body of the second material trough is the second blade holder. The second scraper blade is connected to the end of the second blade holder, and the blade edge is configured to cooperate with the second printing roller.
[0025] A first left-right swinging device is provided between the first scraper blade and the frame. One end of the first left-right swinging device is connected to the first blade holder, and the other end is connected to the frame through a connector. The first left-right swinging device drives the first scraper blade to perform left-right reciprocating motion.
[0026] A second left-right swinging device is provided between the second scraper blade and the frame. One end of the second left-right swinging device is connected to the second blade holder, and the other end is connected to the frame through a connector. The second left-right swinging device drives the second scraper blade to perform left-right reciprocating motion.
[0027] In this design, the doctor blade helps remove impurities (such as lint, yarn, etc.) carried on the surface of the corresponding gravure printing roller during its reciprocating motion.
[0028] In one preferred embodiment of the present invention, a first material trough lifting device is further provided between the first material trough and the frame. One end of the first material trough lifting device is connected to the frame, and the other end of the first material trough lifting device is connected to the first material trough. The first material trough lifting device is any one of a pneumatic device, a hydraulic device, a worm gear device, or a gear and rack device. The degree of contact between the first scraper blade and the first printing roller is adjusted by adjusting the lifting degree of the first material trough lifting device.
[0029] A first airbag device is provided between the first material trough and the first material trough lifting device. The first airbag device includes a first airbag and a support and fixing device for the first airbag. The first airbag device transmits the force of the first material trough lifting device to the first material trough, and then to the space between the first scraper blade and the first printing roller. The first airbag is one or more.
[0030] A second material trough lifting device is also provided between the second material trough and the frame. One end of the second material trough lifting device is connected to the frame, and the other end is connected to the second material trough. The second material trough lifting device can be any one of a pneumatic device, a hydraulic device, a worm gear device, or a gear and rack device. The degree of contact between the second scraper blade and the second printing roller can be adjusted by adjusting the lifting degree of the second material trough lifting device.
[0031] A second airbag device is provided between the second material trough and the second material trough lifting device. The second airbag device includes a second airbag and a second support and fixing device. The second airbag device transmits the force of the second material trough lifting device to the second material trough, and then to the space between the second scraper blade and the second printing roller. There are one or more second airbags.
[0032] In one preferred embodiment of the present invention, the first printing roller and the second printing roller are rotatably fixed on the frame in sequence, the first blade holder is disposed in front of the first printing roller, the first scraper blade is disposed inclined downward, the blade edge of the first scraper blade is disposed against the first printing roller with an adjustable gap, as the first printing roller rotates, the first scraper blade scrapes off the excess working fluid on the surface of the first printing roller, the first scraper assembly is integrally disposed with the first material trough and disposed in front of the first printing roller, the area between the first scraper assembly and the first printing roller is the first material trough area, and the working fluid is transported to the area above the first scraper blade and the first printing roller through the first pump and pipeline;
[0033] The second material trough is located below the second scraper blade and the second printing roller. The lower part of the second printing roller is immersed in the working fluid in the second material trough. The second blade holder is located in front of the second printing roller. The second scraper blade is inclined upward. The blade edge of the second scraper blade is adjusted to abut against the second printing roller. As the second printing roller rotates, the second scraper blade scrapes off the excess working fluid from the surface of the second printing roller.
[0034] The common pressure roller is disposed above the first printing roller and the second printing roller. The common pressure roller is disengaged from the first printing roller and the second printing roller and is press-rolled together. The substrate passes through the common pressure roller between the first printing roller and the second printing roller in sequence. The pressure of the common pressure roller compresses and transfers the remaining working pressure on the surface of the first printing roller and the second printing roller to the substrate.
[0035] Traditional dyeing methods mostly involve applying all the dye at once using a rolling mill (monochrome), or applying all the dye at once using gravure or rotary screen printing. This can easily lead to uneven dyeing in certain areas. In this solution, the dual-plate printing assembly of the present invention can apply the dye in a trough or multiple times. Applying the dye multiple times can cover up the unevenness caused by applying the dye in a single time.
[0036] Meanwhile, the traditional method uses a one-time application of all dye (monochrome), resulting in a high liquid load. This can easily cause migration during the subsequent deheating and drying process, leading to color variations on the fabric and affecting product quality. In this solution, the dye is applied in small amounts multiple times through two or more sets of dual-plate printing components. The liquid load during each drying process is very low, so migration is less likely to occur during each drying process. This effectively reduces quality abnormalities caused by dye migration and can also cover up quality problems such as irregular patterns caused by the mesh texture on the printing roller surface.
[0037] Furthermore, the two consecutive dye applications and subsequent drying are carried out simultaneously, which reduces the number of working steps compared to traditional gravure or rotary screen printing. This not only reduces the deformation of the fabric caused by repeated stretching during operation, but also saves energy and costs.
[0038] In one preferred embodiment of the present invention, both the first printing roller and the second printing roller are gravure printing rollers, the second doctor blade assembly is a second pressure roller assembly, the second pressure roller assembly includes a second pressure roller and a pressure regulating device, the pressure regulating device is a second material trough advance / retreat regulating device, the surface of the second pressure roller is covered with an elastic material, the outer circumference of the second pressure roller is the cutting edge of the second doctor blade, the second pressure roller is adjustablely positioned against the front of the second printing roller, the second material trough is formed above the second pressure roller and the second printing roller, as the second printing roller rotates, the second pressure roller squeezes out excess working fluid from the surface of the second printing roller, leaving only the working fluid in the recessed part of the surface of the gravure printing roller; the common pressure roller is disengaged and presses against the side above the second printing roller, the substrate passes between the common pressure roller and the second printing roller, the common pressure roller presses and transfers the remaining working fluid on the surface of the second printing roller to the surface of the substrate.
[0039] In one preferred embodiment of the present invention, a dyeing method is also provided, which can be used in any of the above-described double-plate printing presses, the dyeing method comprising:
[0040] Step A: The substrate is printed with dye or fixing agent on the front side at the first printing device of the above-mentioned double-plate printing machine;

[0055] Please refer to Figures 1-2 One embodiment of the present invention provides a dual-plate printing machine, which includes at least a frame 100, a dual-plate printing assembly, a common pressure roller 300 and a power unit 400. The dual-plate printing assembly includes at least a first printing device 210 and a second printing device 220 sequentially mounted on the frame 100.
[0056] The first printing apparatus 210 includes at least a first printing roller 211, a first doctor blade assembly, and a first feeding assembly. The first printing roller 211 is pressed together with the common pressure roller 300, and the first printing roller 211 is cooperated with the first doctor blade assembly.
[0057] The first scraper assembly includes at least a first blade holder, a first scraper blade 2122, and a first advance / retreat adjustment device 2323. The first advance / retreat adjustment device 2323 is fixed on the frame 100 and is connected to the first blade holder. The first scraper blade 2122 is connected to the first blade holder, and the cutting edge of the first scraper blade 2122 is adjustablely configured to cooperate with the first printing roller 211. The first feeding assembly includes at least a first material trough 213.
[0058] The second printing apparatus 220 includes at least a second printing roller 221, a second doctor blade assembly, and a second feeding assembly. The second printing roller 221 is pressed and disposed with the common pressure roller 300, and the second printing roller 221 is configured to cooperate with the second doctor blade assembly.
[0059] The second scraper assembly includes at least a second blade holder, a second scraper blade 2222, and a second advance / retreat adjustment device 2223. The second advance / retreat adjustment device 2223 is fixed on the frame 100 and connected to the second blade holder. The second scraper blade 2222 is connected to the second blade holder, and the cutting edge of the second scraper blade 2222 is adjustablely configured to cooperate with the second printing roller 221. The second feeding assembly includes at least a second material trough 223.
[0060] The first printing roller 211 and the second printing roller 221 are arranged one after the other and are rotatably connected to the frame 100. The first printing roller 211 and the second printing roller 221 rotate in the same direction. The working surface of the first printing roller 211 and the working surface of the second printing roller 221 are in contact with the same surface of the substrate.
[0061] The common pressure roller 300 is disposed above or below the first printing roller 211 and the second printing roller 221. The common pressure roller 300 is rotatably connected to the frame 100 through bearings disposed at both ends. The common pressure roller 300 is an elastic rubber-coated roller. The common pressure roller 300 is disengaged from the first printing roller 211 and the second printing roller 221 and is respectively configured to press and roll. The power unit 400 is synchronously connected to the first printing roller 211 and the second printing roller 221.
[0062] In this embodiment, during the printing process between the first printing roller 211 and the second printing roller 221, the substrate is always covered by the surface of the common pressure roller 300. The substrate is driven by the two pressure rollers, meaning that the path and length of the substrate between the first printing roller 211 and the second printing roller 221 are fixed. The first printing roller 211 and the second printing roller 221 share the same power unit 400. The common pressure roller 300 presses on the first printing roller 211 and the second printing roller 221 respectively. Therefore, the speed of the common pressure roller 300 is the same, and there will be no stretching deformation as in traditional processes. Furthermore, the same power unit 400 is connected to the first printing roller 211 and / or the second printing roller 221 through gears, or the first printing roller 211, the common pressure roller 300, and the second printing roller 221 are sequentially driven by gears. The transmission of the entire printing process is precise, and the alignment between the first printing roller 211 and the second printing roller 221 is simple, requiring only one alignment during roller installation. There is no need to consider alignment issues during subsequent operation.
[0063] Because the manufacturing of printing rollers inevitably results in conditions such as taper (different diameters at both ends), and the positions of the two printing rollers will inevitably be inconsistent during installation, it is difficult to ensure uniform pressing with the two printing rollers after the shared pressure roller is installed. This causes uneven force on the left, center and right sides of the substrate, ultimately leading to color differences between the left, center and right sides.
[0064] Please refer to Figure 3 , Figure 4 In one preferred embodiment of the present invention, baffles 320 are provided on the outer sides of the two shaft ends 310 of the common pressure roller 300. The shaft ends 310 of the two common pressure rollers are respectively connected to the baffles 320 through thrust bearings 330. The baffles 320 are used to limit the axial movable stroke of the common pressure roller 300. The two shaft ends 310 of the common pressure roller 300 are respectively connected to pressure devices 340. The pressure devices 340 are used to adjust the height position of the common pressure roller 300. The pressure devices 340 and the shaft ends 310 of the common pressure roller 300 are connected by a position alignment component. When the common pressure roller 300 is subjected to uneven force with the first printing roller 211 or the second printing roller 221, the position alignment component adjusts the angle and posture of the common pressure roller 300 so that the common pressure roller 300 runs smoothly.
[0065] In one application scenario of this embodiment, the two end shafts of the pressure device 340 and the common pressure roller 300 are connected by bearings 350. The connecting piece between the bearing seat 351 and the pressure device 340 is provided with a groove 360 perpendicular to the pressure direction of the pressure device 340. The bearing seat 351 can slide back and forth along the groove 360.
[0066] Alternatively, in another application scenario of this embodiment, the two end shafts of the pressure device 340 and the common pressure roller 300 are connected by bearings 350. The connecting piece between the pressure device 340 and the frame is provided with a groove 360 perpendicular to the pressure direction of the pressure device 340. The pressure device 340 can slide back and forth along the groove 360, thereby driving the bearing seat 351 and the common pressure roller 300 to move left and right.
[0067] In the two application scenarios described above in this embodiment, the pressure device 340 can be selected as any one of a pneumatic push rod, an electric push rod, or a servo motor; and the sliding stroke of the pressure device 340 along the slide groove 360 is within 5 mm, and the slide groove 360 can also be replaced by a circular hole with a larger diameter.

The two sets of dual-plate printing assemblies are arranged one after the other, and each set of dual-plate printing assemblies is provided with a corresponding heating device 500 on the discharge side. The substrate passes sequentially through the first printing device 210, the second printing device 220, and the heating device 500 of the first set of dual-plate printing assemblies, and the first printing device 210, the second printing device 220, and the heating device 500 of the second set of dual-plate printing assemblies. The dual-plate printing machine is used to continuously print and dry the same side of the substrate.
[0070] In one application scenario of this embodiment, the dual-plate printing assembly is arranged in two sets according to the process flow. A heating device 500 is provided at the rear of each set of dual-plate printing assemblies. The heating device 500 is a tenter frame. The tenter frame heats, dries, stretches, and sets the corresponding output substrate. The temperature of each set of tenter frames is gradually increased from front to back.

Each set of dual-plate printing components includes its own first printing device 210 and second printing device 220. The two sets of dual-plate printing components are arranged sequentially according to the process flow and are mirror images of each other. The two sets of dual-plate printing components operate in opposite directions. Each set of dual-plate printing components has a corresponding heating device 500 in its output direction. The heating devices 500 of the two sets of dual-plate printing components are arranged vertically and are housed in the same heating chamber. The substrate passes sequentially through the first printing device 210, the second printing device 220, and the heating device 500 of the first set of dual-plate printing components, and the first printing device 210, the second printing device 220, and the heating device 500 of the second set of dual-plate printing components. The dual-plate printing machine is used to sequentially print and dry the front and back sides of the substrate.
[0073] Furthermore, the first printing device of each of the two sets of dual-plate printing components applies reactive dye to the substrate, and the second printing device of each of the two sets of dual-plate printing components applies a fixing agent to the substrate. The substrate is then subjected to reactive dye application on the front side, fixing agent application, and drying, followed by reactive dye application on the back side, fixing agent application, and drying, finally resulting in a product that is dyed or printed on both sides.
[0074] In this embodiment, not only can single-sided or double-sided monochrome and multi-color printing be performed on the substrate, but also low-liquid-volume dyeing processing can be achieved, making it applicable to a wide range of applications.
[0075] Please refer to Figure 7In one preferred embodiment of the present invention, four sets of dual-plate printing components are provided. Each of the four sets of dual-plate printing components includes its own first printing device 210 and second printing device 220. The four sets of dual-plate printing components are arranged sequentially according to the process flow. The first and third sets of dual-plate printing components are mirror images of the second and fourth sets of dual-plate printing components. The first and third sets of dual-plate printing components operate in the same direction and are used to print on the front side of the substrate. The second and fourth sets of dual-plate printing components operate in the same direction but opposite to the first and third sets of dual-plate printing components and are used to print on the back side of the substrate. Each dual-plate printing component has a corresponding heating device 500 in its output direction. The heating devices 500 corresponding to the four sets of dual-plate printing components are arranged vertically and housed in the same heating chamber.

[0076] In one application scenario of this embodiment, the material tanks of the first and second sets of dual-plate printing components contain reactive dyes, while the material tanks of the third and fourth sets of dual-plate printing components contain fixing alkalis. The reactive dyes are applied to both sides of the fabric via the first and second sets of dual-plate printing components. After being heated and dried, the fabric enters the third and fourth sets of dual-plate printing components to apply fixing alkalis to both sides. After the fixing alkalis are applied, the fabric is heated and dried again, and the reactive dyes are bonded to the fabric, completing the dyeing process.

The two blades are respectively disposed at the front end and the rear end of the first blade holder. The first shovel blade 2123 is used to remove excess working fluid from the surface of the first printing roller 211 to obtain a uniform working fluid. The scraper blade is used to scrape off impurities from the surface of the first printing roller 211. At the same time, the arrangement of the two blades also effectively seals the material trough, making it difficult for the working fluid to evaporate.
[0096] During operation, if the blade is damaged, it needs to be replaced as soon as possible. Ideally, both blades should be designed for quick replacement.
[0097] In one embodiment, there are two first airbags 260, which are respectively disposed at the front and rear of the first material trough 213 support device, and the length direction of the two airbags is parallel to the width direction of the first gravure printing roller.
[0098] In one embodiment, there are three first airbags 260. The three airbags are respectively positioned at the left, center, and right positions of the first support and fixing device 261. The air pressure of the three airbags can be adjusted independently. The left, center, and right pressure between the first scraper blade 2122 and the first printing roller 211 can be adjusted by adjusting the air pressure of the three airbags.
[0099] Furthermore, the airbag consists of two sets of airbags, each set having three airbags. The two sets of airbags are positioned at the front and rear of the first support and fixing device 261, with the three airbags of each set positioned at the left, center, and right positions of the first support and fixing device 261, respectively. The pressure of each airbag is adjustable. This arrangement allows for a more balanced pressure between the first scraper blade 2122 and the first printing roller 211 on the left, center, and right.
[0100] In one embodiment, the first material trough 213 and the first support and fixing device 261 are slidably connected up and down by an up-and-down sliding device 270.

The sliding rail is connected to the first support and fixing device 261, and the slider is connected to the first material trough 213. The first material trough 213 slides up and down with the first support and fixing device 261 as the compression degree of the first airbag 260 changes.
[0101] In one embodiment, the sliding gap between the first material trough 213 and the first support fixing device 261 is adjustable, preferably with a gap adjustment block provided at the sliding gap between the first material trough 213 and the first support fixing device 261.
[0102] In one embodiment, a first and a second material trough lifting device are respectively provided below the first and second material troughs 223. The first and second material trough lifting devices are gear / rack type lifting devices or worm gear type lifting devices, or hydraulic or pneumatic lifting devices. The lifting action of the lifting devices causes the corresponding material troughs to move up and down, which is conducive to cleaning and material replacement.
[0103] In one preferred embodiment of the present invention, the first printing roller 211 and the second printing roller 221 are rotatably fixed on the frame 100 in sequence. The first blade holder is disposed in front of the first printing roller 211, and the first scraper blade 2122 is disposed inclined downward. The blade edge of the first scraper blade 2122 is disposed against the first printing roller 211 with an adjustable gap. As the first printing roller 211 rotates, the first scraper blade 2122 scrapes off the excess working fluid from the surface of the first printing roller 211. The first scraper assembly is integrally disposed with the first material trough 213 and disposed in front of the first printing roller 211. The area between the first scraper assembly and the first printing roller 211 is the area of the first material trough 213. The working fluid is transported to the area above the first scraper blade 2122 and the first printing roller 211 through the first pump and pipeline.
[0104] The second material trough 223 is located below the second scraper blade 2222 and the second printing roller 221. The lower part of the second printing roller 221 is immersed in the working fluid in the second material trough 223. The second blade holder is located in front of the second printing roller 221. The second scraper blade 2222 is inclined upward. The blade edge of the second scraper blade 2222 is adjusted to abut against the second printing roller 221. As the second printing roller 221 rotates, the second scraper blade 2222 scrapes off the excess working fluid from the surface of the second printing roller 221.
[0105] The common pressure roller 300 is disposed above the first printing roller 211 and the second printing roller 221. The common pressure roller 300 is disengaged from the first printing roller 211 and the second printing roller 221 and is press-rolled together. The substrate passes through the common pressure roller 300 between the first printing roller 211 and the second printing roller 221 in sequence. The pressure of the common pressure roller 300 compresses and transfers the remaining working pressure on the surface of the first printing roller 211 and the second printing roller 221 onto the substrate.
[0106] Traditional dyeing methods mostly involve applying all the dye at once using a rolling mill (monochrome), or applying all the dye at once using gravure or rotary screen printing. This can easily lead to uneven dyeing in certain areas. In this embodiment, the dual-plate printing assembly of the present invention can apply the dye in a trough or multiple times. Applying the dye multiple times can cover up the unevenness caused by applying the dye in a single time.
[0107] Meanwhile, the traditional method uses a one-time application of all dye (monochrome), resulting in a high liquid content. This can easily cause migration during the subsequent deheating and drying process, leading to color variations on the fabric and affecting product quality. In this embodiment, the dye is applied in small amounts multiple times using two or more sets of the dual-plate printing components. The liquid content is very low during each drying process, so migration is less likely to occur during each drying process. This can effectively reduce quality abnormalities caused by dye migration and can also cover up quality problems such as irregular patterns caused by the mesh texture on the printing roller surface.
[0108] Furthermore, the two consecutive dye applications and subsequent drying are carried out simultaneously, which reduces the number of working steps compared to traditional gravure or rotary screen printing. This not only reduces the deformation of the fabric caused by repeated stretching during operation, but also saves energy and costs.

[0110] Furthermore, the position of the connecting part (rotating shaft) between the blade holder and the corresponding blade holder is adjustable. By adjusting the position of the connecting part (rotating shaft) between the blade holder and the corresponding blade holder, the angle and distance between the corresponding scraper blade and the corresponding gravure roller can be adjusted to meet the requirements of gravure rollers of different diameters.
