Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of agricultural product surface imaging technology, and in particular to a device for printing images on peach surfaces and its method of use. Background Technology
[0002] Existing technology requires different steps for imaging the peach surface, including applying the film and fruit pattern. The peach pattern also needs to be prepared individually in advance. When applying the peach pattern, the materials and tools such as scissors need to be changed frequently. Moreover, the entire process cannot be kept consistent, resulting in a low success rate for pattern application and a decrease in the yield of finished products.
[0003] Its specific problems and shortcomings are as follows:
[0004] 1. Excessive wrapping during operation and the lack of a break point design often result in continuous pulling and fruit drop during or near the end of the process; 2. Misalignment easily occurs when the film and fruit sticker are layered, causing the fruit sticker to lift and affecting the integrity of the image on the peach surface; 3. Currently, most peach growers in villages and towns are elderly, and the peaches need to be unpacked and the pattern applied immediately. Therefore, there is an urgent need to solve the problem of the film wrapping layer by layer and to explore a fast and integrated method for applying the film and pattern.
[0005] Therefore, this invention proposes a peach surface imaging printing film device and its usage method to solve the problems of relatively simple peach surface imaging patterns, time-consuming traditional processes, and low mass production efficiency. Summary of the Invention
[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide a peach surface imaging printing film device and its usage method. This device can integrate the imaging fixing film, peach pattern pasting, cutting and other tools required for peach surface imaging printing film into one unit, which can speed up the implementation progress in the field and improve the product qualification rate and yield.
[0007] On one hand, the present invention provides a peach surface imaging and printing film device, comprising: a housing, wherein a rotatable imaging and fixing film loading roller is disposed at the bottom of the housing, the imaging and fixing film is fitted onto the imaging and fixing film loading roller, an imaging and fixing film conveying roller is disposed at the top of the housing and rotatably connected thereto, a peach pattern loading roller is disposed on one side of the imaging and fixing film conveying roller, a space partition plate is disposed between the peach pattern loading roller and the imaging and fixing film conveying roller to separate the two, a cutter is disposed at the top of the space partition plate, the imaging and fixing film and the peach pattern can extend from the top two sides of the space partition plate respectively and be cut by the cutter, and the peach pattern can be adsorbed onto the imaging and fixing film for integral application.
[0008] Preferably, the peach pattern loading roller includes an outer roller and an inner roller. The outer roller is detachably fitted onto the outside of the inner roller. One end of the inner roller is provided with a connecting thread, which can be detachably connected to the threaded groove on the inner wall of the machine housing.
[0009] Preferably, the other end of the inner roller extends from the side wall of the housing and is fixedly connected to a rocker arm.
[0010] Preferably, a peach pattern conveying roller is also provided between the peach pattern loading roller and the space isolation plate, and the peach pattern conveying roller is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the machine box.
[0011] Preferably, a limiting rod is provided in front of the imaging fixing film conveying roller. There are two limiting rods, which are fixedly connected to the opposite sides of the inner wall of the machine housing, and are arranged at the same height. After the imaging fixing film is conveyed by the imaging fixing film loading roller, it passes through the gap between the limiting rod and the imaging fixing film conveying roller and then goes around the outside of the imaging fixing film conveying roller.
[0012] Preferably, one end of the imaging fixing film loading roller is rotatably connected to the bottom of the housing, the other end of the imaging fixing film loading roller is a free end, and the upper part of the imaging fixing film loading roller is provided with a movable handle pressing on its surface.
[0013] Preferably, a fixed shaft is provided at the bottom of the space isolation plate, and one end of the movable handle is rotatably connected to the fixed shaft.
[0014] Preferably, the top of the cutter has continuous serrations.
[0015] Preferably, the peach pattern is made of PVC film, and the imaging fixing film is made of PE film.
[0016] On the other hand, the present invention provides a method of using the above-mentioned peach surface imaging and printing film device, comprising the following steps:
[0017] S1: Load the rolled imaging fixation film onto the imaging fixation film loading roller;
[0018] S2: The width of the inner roller is larger than that of the outer roller. The peach pattern is designed according to the different diameters of the peaches, and the peach pattern is placed on the outer roller of the peach pattern loading roller or on the inner roller after the outer roller is removed.
[0019] S3: Pull the imaging fixation film out from the imaging fixation film loading roller, bypass the imaging fixation film conveying roller, and extend it from the top of the chassis along one side of the space isolation plate;
[0020] S4: Pull the peach pattern out from the outer or inner roller of the peach pattern loading roller and extend it from the top of the chassis along the other side of the space isolation plate;
[0021] S5: Pull the imaging fixation film from the top of the chassis out to half the length of the peach's circumference, pull out the complete peach pattern and attach it to the surface of the imaging fixation film, and then use a cutter to cut out the complete peach pattern.
[0022] S6: Continue to stretch the imaging fixation film so that its length is not less than the circumference of the peach. Then use a cutter to cut the imaging fixation film to form an integral image film wrapped around the peach surface, with the center of the peach pattern height at 1 / 2 of the peach surface height.
[0023] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0024] 1. The present invention uses an imaging and fixing film loading roller, a peach pattern loading roller, an imaging and fixing film conveying roller, and a space isolation plate to convey the imaging and fixing film and the peach pattern from both sides of the space isolation plate respectively, and cuts them at the top of the machine box with a cutter to avoid entanglement between the two during the conveying process, thereby improving the efficiency of the peach surface imaging and printing film operation.
[0025] 2. Before applying the coating, a cutter can be used to cut the coating to avoid deformation and waste of the imaging fixing film and peach pattern material due to pulling, and to avoid fruit falling off due to pulling, thus improving work efficiency.
[0026] 3. The imaging fixing film and peach pattern are not only placed by the imaging fixing film loading roller and the peach pattern loading roller respectively, but also, in order to ensure that the pulling trajectory extends through the top of the machine box during the pulling process, the imaging fixing film conveying roller and the peach pattern conveying roller are set respectively during the pulling process to avoid the imaging fixing film and peach pattern pulling trajectory from deviating or tangling with each other, thereby improving flatness.
[0027] 4. In this invention, the peach pattern is first adsorbed onto the surface of the imaging and fixing film and then cut, so that the two can be adhered together after adsorption, avoiding overlapping and misalignment, which would cause the fruit pattern to lift up, thus avoiding affecting the integrity of the peach surface imaging and ensuring the quality of the fruit.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

Furthermore, the terms "installed," "connected," and "linked" should be interpreted broadly; for example, they may refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they may refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they may refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they may refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention based on the specific circumstances.
[0037] like Figure 1-3As shown, the present invention provides a peach surface imaging printing film device, comprising: a housing 1, a rotatable imaging and fixing film loading roller 2 disposed at the bottom of the housing 1, a roll of imaging and fixing film that can be fitted onto the imaging and fixing film loading roller 2, an imaging and fixing film conveying roller 3 rotatably connected to the top of the housing 1, a peach pattern loading roller 4 disposed on one side of the imaging and fixing film conveying roller 3, a space partition plate 5 separating the peach pattern loading roller 4 and the imaging and fixing film conveying roller 3, a cutter 6 disposed at the top of the space partition plate 5, the imaging and fixing film and the peach pattern can extend from the top two sides of the space partition plate 5 respectively and be cut by the cutter 6, the peach pattern can be adsorbed onto the imaging and fixing film and then integrally applied to the peach surface.
[0038] The peach pattern loading roller 4 includes an outer roller 41 and an inner roller 42. The outer roller 41 is detachably fitted onto the outside of the inner roller 42. One end of the inner roller 42 is provided with a connecting thread 43, which can be detachably connected to the threaded groove 44 provided on the inner wall of the housing 1. The other end of the inner roller 42 extends out from the side wall of the housing 1 opposite to the threaded groove 44 and is fixedly connected to a rocker arm 7. By rotating the rocker arm 7, the inner roller 42 can be installed or disassembled from the threaded groove 44. When the peach circumference is large and the peach pattern is also large, the outer roller 41 is installed on the outside of the inner roller 42, and then the peach pattern is rolled up and wound around the surface of the outer roller 41. When the peach circumference is small and the peach pattern is also small, by rotating the rocker arm 7, one end of the inner roller 42 is rotated and disassembled from the threaded groove 44. Then, the outer roller 41 is removed from the side wall opening of the machine housing 1. The rocker arm 7 is rotated in the opposite direction, and one end of the inner roller 42 is reinstalled in conjunction with the threaded groove 44. The rolled peach pattern is wound on the outside of the core cylinder. The diameter of the core cylinder is larger than the outer diameter of the inner roller 42 or the outer roller 41, and there is sufficient gap between them. When the head of the peach pattern is pulled, the rolled peach pattern will rotate relative to the inner roller 42 or the outer roller 41, so that the continuous peach pattern is pulled out.
[0039] A peach pattern conveying roller 8 is also provided between the peach pattern loading roller 4 and the space isolation plate 5. The peach pattern conveying roller 8 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the machine box 1 and can rotate 360° relative to it. Continuous peach patterns can bypass the peach pattern conveying roller 8 and extend upward along one side of the space isolation plate 5, and be attached to the imaging fixing film pulled out from the other side of the space isolation plate 5. Then, the pattern is cut by the cutter 6 and integrally attached to the surface of the peach.
[0040] Two limiting rods 9 are provided in front of the imaging film conveying roller 3. These two limiting rods 9 are fixedly connected to opposite sides of the inner wall of the housing 1, and are arranged at the same height. After being conveyed by the imaging film loading roller 2, the imaging film passes through the gap between the limiting rods 9 and the imaging film conveying roller 3, then goes around the outside of the imaging film conveying roller 3, and extends upwards from the other side of the space isolation plate 5, attaching to the continuous peach-pattern. The limiting rods 9 solve the problem of the imaging film easily detaching from its forward trajectory due to softness, self-absorption, etc., when being pulled outwards. By setting the limiting rods 9, the forward trajectory of the outwardly pulled imaging film is corrected and secured, ensuring it reaches the gap between the space isolation plate 5 and the imaging film conveying roller 3 smoothly. The imaging film conveying roller 3 can rotate 360°, facilitating the outward stretching of the imaging film from the top of the housing 1.
[0041] In this embodiment, one end of the imaging fixing film loading roller 2 is rotatably connected to the bottom of the housing 1, specifically by hinge. The other end of the imaging fixing film loading roller 2 is a free end, which can be rotated and lifted relative to its hinged end to facilitate the mounting of rolled imaging fixing films on its surface. The core diameter of the imaging fixing film is larger than the outer diameter of the imaging fixing film loading roller 2, allowing it to rotate when the imaging fixing film is pulled, so that the continuous imaging fixing film can be removed from the outside of the core. The imaging fixing film loading roller 2 is provided with a movable handle 10 pressing on its surface. In use, the movable handle 10 rests on the surface of the imaging fixing film loading roller 2, providing a certain pressure to prevent the continuous imaging fixing film from easily stretching and contracting when cut with the cutter 6, making it difficult to cut. A fixed shaft 11 is provided at the bottom of the space isolation plate 5, and one end of the movable handle 10 is rotatably connected to the fixed shaft 11. The movable handle 10 can accommodate rolled imaging fixing films of different thicknesses.
[0042] In this embodiment, the top of the cutter 6 is provided with continuous serrations, which can facilitate the cutting of continuous peach pattern and imaging fixing film. The peach pattern is PVC film and the imaging fixing film is PE film. The two can adhere tightly after contact, making it convenient to cut and apply them together.
[0043] This invention provides a method for using the above-mentioned peach surface imaging and printing film device, comprising the following steps:
[0044] S1: After the peaches have grown to the desired size and matured, remove the protective bags from the peaches before use, prepare to apply the film, and load the rolled imaging and fixing film onto the imaging and fixing film loading roller 2.
[0045] S2: Select the size of the peach pattern according to the circumference of different peaches, and fix it on the outer roller 41 of the peach pattern loading roller 4 or the inner roller 42 after removing the outer roller 41, so that the circumference of a single peach pattern is smaller than the outer diameter of the outer roller 41 or the inner roller 42.
[0046] S3: First, pull the imaging fixing film out more than 15cm from the imaging fixing film loading roller 2, then lower the movable handle 10 and press it on the surface of the imaging fixing film. After pulling out the imaging fixing film, it passes through the gap between the limiting rod 9 and the imaging fixing film conveying roller 3, and goes around the imaging fixing film conveying roller 3, and extends out from the top of the chassis 1 along one side of the space isolation plate 5.
[0047] S4: Pull the peach pattern out from the outer roller 41 or inner roller 42 of the peach pattern loading roller 4, and around the peach pattern conveying roller 8, and then extend upward along the other side of the space isolation plate 5 from the top of the chassis 1.
[0048] S5: Pull the imaging fixing film from the top of the chassis 1 to half the length of the peach circumference, then pull the complete peach pattern out from the other side of the space isolation plate 5 and use the self-absorption between the PE film and the PVC film to adsorb it onto the surface of the imaging fixing film. Then use the cutter 6 to cut off the complete peach pattern.
[0049] S6: Continue to stretch the imaging fixation film so that its length is not less than the circumference of the peach. Then, use cutter 6 to cut the imaging fixation film and attach it to the peach surface along with the adsorbed peach sticker pattern. The peach sticker pattern is inside and the imaging fixation film is outside. Through photosynthesis, the peach surface is gradually exposed to the light to form an image.
[0050] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, and not to limit them; although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some or all of the technical features; and these modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention.
