[0032] The fan-shaped printing carriage assembly 50 includes multiple groups of printing carriages 52. Each group of printing carriages 52 can move independently, or all four groups can move simultaneously, driven by the carriage drive mechanism. The tops of the multiple groups of printing carriages 52 are fixedly connected to the sliding magnets 42 of the multiple magnetically coupled rodless cylinders 40. The multiple groups of printing carriages 52 are arranged in a front-to-back direction. In this embodiment, there are four groups of printing carriages 52, arranged in a fan shape, each printing one of four colors.

[0033] Each set of printing carriages 52 is used to print various patterns on a paper roll, and includes two sliding side panels 521 , a box body 522 sandwiched between the two sliding side panels 521 , a plurality of nozzles 523 installed at the bottom of the box body 522 , and a control circuit board 524 installed on one side of the box body 522 .

[0034] The top of the sliding side panel 521 is slidably mounted on the guide rail 152 and is fixedly connected to the sliding magnet 42 of the magnetically coupled rodless cylinder 40. The sliding side panel 521 is provided with an inspection window 525 and an observation window 526. The inspection window 525 is fitted with an acrylic decorative panel that can be removed for easy installation or maintenance. The observation window 526 facilitates observation of the status of the printhead 523 within the printing carriage 52.

[0035] The bottom surface of the box 522 is the printing surface 520, which is perpendicular to the surface of the printed paper. The multiple nozzles 523 are arranged on the printing surface 520. The nozzles 523 use Epson S3200 nozzles for digital printing. In order to adapt to the paper rolls 70 that are curved and protrude upward and are wound on the multiple printing guide rollers 21, the printing surfaces 520 of the multiple groups of printing carriages 52 are arranged into an arc surface, which is high in the middle and low on both sides. The arc surface is based on a circle with a radius of 2 meters. The curvature between the printing surfaces 520 of two adjacent printing carriages 52 is 6 degrees.

[0036] The control circuit board 524 controls the lifting motor 66 and the magnetically coupled rodless cylinder 40 to control the entire printing process. The printing surface 520 may also be provided with a photocell for sensing the position below the nozzle 523. The photocell transmits the sensed position signal to the control circuit board 524.

[0037] The ink collection cartridge 30 is used to receive waste ink from the print heads 523 of the fan-shaped printing carriage 50 during cleaning, collecting the waste ink for centralized processing. The ink collection cartridge 30 has a groove for receiving waste ink from the print heads 523 of the printing carriage 52. The groove also has a liquid inlet for the inflow of cleaning fluid.

[0038] The lifting mechanism 60 is disposed between the support frame 16 and the ink cartridge 30, providing support and power for the lifting of the ink cartridge 30. The lifting mechanism 60 includes four screw elevators 61 mounted on the support frame 16, two commutators 62, a lifting speed reducer 65, a lifting connecting rod 63 connected between the screw elevators 61, a speed reduction connecting rod 67 connected between the lifting speed reducer 65 and the commutator 62, and a lifting motor 66 fixed to the lifting speed reducer 65. Four spiral elevators 61 are connected to the bottom of the ink cartridge 30. Two lifting links 63 are provided. The lifting links 63 are connected to the spiral elevators 61 located on both sides of the support frame 16 through a coupling 64. Two reduction links 67 are provided, symmetrically located on both sides of the lifting reducer 65. The reduction links 67 are respectively connected to the commutator 62 and the lifting reducer 65 through a coupling 64. The two commutators 62 are symmetrically located on both sides of the lifting reducer 65. The commutator 62 is also arranged opposite the spiral elevator 61 and connected to the spiral elevator 61 through a coupling 64. The commutator 62 is used to connect the spiral elevator 61 to the lifting reducer 65, so that a single lifting motor 66 can synchronously control the four spiral elevators 61, resulting in a simple structure and convenient control.

[0039] When the present invention is in use, the paper roll 70 enters the paper feed guide roller 22 and then enters the printing guide roller 21 and the printing platform. The initial position of the fan-shaped printing carriage group 50 is directly above the ink cartridge 30. During normal operation, the carriage drive mechanism drives the printing carriage 52 from right to left, entering the appropriate position in the area where the paper roll to be printed is located. After the photoelectric eye senses the position mark, it transmits the position signal to the control circuit board 524. The printing carriage 52 receives the printing signal and begins printing. During the printing process, each group of printing carriages 52 will automatically track its position through the visual system to ensure the accurate printing position of the four groups of printing carriages 52. After printing is completed, the carriage drive mechanism drives the printing carriage 52 from left to right, returning the fan-shaped printing carriage assembly 50 to its initial position. The lifting mechanism 60 drives the ink cartridge 30 upward to perform moisturizing, cleaning, and maintenance on the nozzle 523. The nozzle 523 extends into the groove of the ink cartridge 30, and the cleaning liquid flows into the groove through the liquid inlet to soak and clean the nozzle 523. This prevents the surface of the nozzle 523 from being exposed to visible light and contaminated by dust particles during the idle process, thus preventing nozzle clogging of the nozzle 523 and improving printing quality and service life. When the nozzle 523 no longer requires moisturizing maintenance, the lifting mechanism 60 drives the ink cartridge 30 down to its lowest point.

[0040] The above-mentioned folding fan type digital printing unit provided by the present invention is convenient for moving the folding fan type printing trolley group 50 to a suitable position in the area where the paper roll 70 to be printed is located to print on the paper roll 70 by setting a trolley drive mechanism connected between the frame and the ink cartridge 30 and a lifting mechanism 60 connected between the frame and the ink cartridge 30. After the printing is completed, the folding fan type printing trolley group 50 automatically returns to the initial position, and the lifting mechanism 60 drives the ink cartridge 30 to rise, so that the nozzle 523 extends into the groove of the ink cartridge 30, so that the waste ink on the nozzle 523 is received by the ink cartridge 30 and the waste ink is collected and centrally processed. Therefore, the above-mentioned folding fan type digital printing unit provided by the present invention is easy to operate, simple in structure, convenient for cleaning and maintenance of the nozzle 523, and avoids clogging of the nozzle of the nozzle 523.

[0041] 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.

[0042] The above description is based on the ideal embodiment of the present invention. Based on the above description, relevant personnel can make various changes and modifications without departing from the technical scope of this invention. The technical scope of this invention is not limited to the content of the specification and must be determined according to the scope of the claims.
