Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of printing press handling devices. Background Technology

[0002] A printing press is a machine for printing text and images. A modern printing press generally consists of mechanisms for plate mounting, inking, printing, and paper feeding (including folding). Its working principle is as follows: first, the text and images to be printed are made into a printing plate, which is then mounted on the printing press. Ink is then applied manually or by the printing press to the areas of the printing plate containing the text and images, and the ink is directly or indirectly transferred to paper or other printing substrates (such as textiles, metal plates, plastics, leather, wood, glass, and ceramics), thus reproducing a printed product identical to the printing plate. The invention and development of the printing press has played a vital role in the dissemination of human civilization and culture.

[0003] In the rapidly developing printing industry, traditional material management methods can no longer meet the demands of high-efficiency and high-precision production. Currently, most printing companies face the problem of low efficiency in manual material handling. Untimely material supply severely impacts the operating efficiency of printing presses, while also resulting in a waste of human resources and energy. Summary of the Invention

[0007] Preferably, the raw material assembly includes a winding roller, a printing material cloth, an edge ring, an external threaded tube, and a through hole. The outer wall of the winding roller is wound with the printing material cloth, and both ends of the winding roller are connected to edge rings. One end of the winding roller is connected to an external threaded tube, and a through hole is provided on the outer wall of the receiving frame near the conveying guide rail.

[0008] Preferably, the receiving mechanism includes a storage box and a buffer plate. The buffer plate is connected to the bottom of the inner wall of the storage box. The buffer plate is triangular in shape. The storage box is connected to the top of the base.

[0009] Preferably, the moving mechanism includes a through hole, an outer tube, a drive push rod motor, a support block, a servo motor, a circular plate, a telescopic rod, a circular rod, and an internally threaded tube. A through hole is provided on the upper side of the outer wall of the conveying guide rail. The center of the through hole and the center of the support rod are on the same straight line. The center of the support rod and the center of the through hole are on the same straight line. The outer wall of the storage box is connected to the drive push rod motor. The inlet end of the storage box is connected to the support block. The inner wall of the support block is slidably connected to the outer tube. The inner wall of the outer tube is connected to the servo motor. The output end of the servo motor is connected to the circular plate. The outer wall of the circular plate is connected to three telescopic rods arranged in a circumferential array. One end of each telescopic rod is connected to a circular rod, and one end of each circular rod is connected to an internally threaded tube.

[0010] Preferably, the auxiliary mechanism includes a bottom ring, an auxiliary push rod motor, and a pressure ring. The outer wall of the pressure ring is connected to an anti-slip friction pad. The outer wall of the conveying guide rail is connected to the bottom ring, which is located directly below the bottom end of the through hole.

[0012] Preferably, both the pressure ring and the bottom ring are arc-shaped.

[0013] The beneficial effects of this invention are:

[0014] 1) Place the standard parts of multiple raw material components on the conveyor rail, start the conveyor rail, and the conveyor rail will drive the raw material components to move, so that one of the raw material components is in contact with the arc surface of the baffle frame. At the same time, it will squeeze the second sensor, start the drive push rod motor, the drive push rod motor will push the outer tube to move towards the through hole, and at the same time, the servo motor will drive the circular plate to move. The circular plate will push the circular rod to move through the telescopic rod. The circular rod will drive the internal threaded tube to move, so that the internal threaded tube will push the external threaded tube forward. By aligning the center of the arc of the baffle frame with the center of the through hole, and the diameter of the standard part of the raw material component is the same as the diameter of the through hole, the winding roller is inserted into the support rod, so as to achieve the effect of automatically transporting the raw material components into the receiving frame.

[0015] 2) The use of a sensor probe is used to detect the usage status of the printing material cloth in the material receiving box. After the printing material cloth is used up, the sensor probe transmits a signal to the control panel to start the servo motor. The servo motor drives the circular plate to rotate, and the circular plate drives the circular rod to rotate through the telescopic rod. The circular rod drives the internal threaded tube to rotate, so that the internal threaded tube is threadedly connected to the external threaded tube. Then, the control panel starts the drive push rod motor to pull the outer tube back, thereby pulling the internal threaded tube back to pull the external threaded tube, thus pulling the winding roller out from the support rod and out of the through hole. After the winding roller is completely removed from the through hole, the control panel stops the drive push rod motor. Then, the auxiliary push rod motor is started to press one end of the winding roller onto the bottom ring with the pressure ring. The control panel then starts the servo motor to rotate in the opposite direction to make the internal threaded tube rotate away from the external threaded tube. Then, the auxiliary push rod motor is started again to make the pressure ring disengage from the winding roller, so that the winding roller can fall into the storage box, thereby achieving the effect of automatic collection of the winding roller.

[0016] 3) When the winding roller squeezes the first sensor, it activates the first limit push rod motor. The first limit push rod motor drives the connecting rod to move downward, and the connecting rod drives the carrier plate to move downward. The carrier plate, along with the partition and signal receiver, moves downward, so that the partition blocks the remaining material components of the conveyor rail, preventing the remaining material components from continuously sticking to this material component, and at the same time, preventing this material component from rolling back.

[0034] Reference Appendix Figure 5-10 The moving mechanism 8 includes a through hole 801, an outer tube 802, a drive push rod motor 803, a support block 804, a servo motor 805, a circular plate 806, a telescopic rod 807, a round rod 808, and an internally threaded tube 809. A through hole 801 is provided on the upper side of the outer wall of the conveying guide rail 3. The center of the through hole 801 and the center of the support rod 401 are on the same straight line. The center of the support rod 401 and the center of the through hole 605 are on the same straight line. The outer wall of the storage box 701 is connected to the drive push rod motor 803. The inlet end of the storage box 701 is connected to the support block 804. The inner wall of the support block 804 is slidably connected to the outer tube 802. The inner wall of the outer tube 802 is connected to the servo motor 805. The output end of the servo motor 805 is connected to the circular plate 806. The outer wall of the circular plate 806... The wall is connected to three telescopic rods 807 arranged in a circular array. The telescopic distance of the telescopic rods 807 is not greater than the length of the internally threaded tube 809. The telescopic rods 807 are fitted with rubber sleeves and have a certain degree of toughness. One end of the telescopic rods 807 is connected to a round rod 808, and one end of the round rod 808 is connected to the internally threaded tube 809. The auxiliary mechanism 9 includes a bottom ring 901, an auxiliary push rod motor 902, and a pressure ring 903. The outer wall of the pressure ring 903 is connected to an anti-slip friction pad. The outer wall of the conveying guide rail 3 is connected to the bottom ring 901. The bottom ring 901 is located directly below the bottom end of the through hole 801. The top end of the conveying guide rail 3 is connected to the auxiliary push rod motor 902. The output end of the auxiliary push rod motor 902 is connected to the pressure ring 903. Both the pressure ring 903 and the bottom ring 901 are arc-shaped.

[0035] Multiple standard parts of raw material components 6 are placed on the conveyor rail 3. The conveyor rail 3 is started, and the conveyor rail 3 drives the raw material components 6 to move, so that one of the raw material components 6 is in contact with the arc surface of the baffle 512. At the same time, the second sensor 506 is squeezed, and the drive push rod motor 803 is started. The drive push rod motor 803 pushes the outer tube 802 to move towards the through hole 801. At the same time, the servo motor 805 drives the circular plate 806 to move. The circular plate 806 pushes the circular rod 808 to move through the telescopic rod 807. The circular rod 808 drives the internal threaded tube 809 to move, so that the internal threaded tube 809 pushes the external threaded tube 604 to move forward. By aligning the center of the arc of the baffle 512 with the center of the through hole 605, and the diameter of the standard part of the raw material component 6 is the same as the diameter of the through hole 605, the winding roller 601 is inserted into the support rod 401, so as to achieve the effect of automatically transporting the raw material component 6 into the receiving frame 4.

[0036] When the winding roller 601 presses against the first sensor 501, it activates the first limit push rod motor 502. The first limit push rod motor 502 drives the connecting rod 503 to move downward, and the connecting rod 503 drives the carrier plate 504 to move downward. The carrier plate 504, along with the partition plate 511 and the signal receiver 509, moves downward, causing the partition plate 511 to block the remaining material components 6 of the conveying guide rail 3, preventing the remaining material components 6 from continuously contacting the material component 6, and at the same time, preventing the material component 6 from rolling back. After the signal receiver 509 receives the signal transmitter 510, the support ring 508 aligns with the support rod 401, and the second limit push rod motor 505 is activated. The second limit push rod motor 505 drives the support ring 508 to move forward through the connecting plate 507, so that the edge ring 603 is inserted into the support ring 508, thereby supporting the material component 6.

[0037] The induction detection probe 10 detects the usage status of the printing material cloth 602 in the material assembly 6 within the receiving frame 4. Once the printing material cloth 602 is used up, the induction detection probe 10 transmits a signal to the control panel to start the servo motor 805. The servo motor 805 drives the circular plate 806 to rotate. The circular plate 806, through the telescopic rod 807, pushes the circular rod 808 to rotate. The circular rod 808 drives the internal threaded tube 809 to rotate, causing the internal threaded tube 809 to thread into the external threaded tube 604. Then, the control panel starts the drive push rod motor 803, causing it to pull the outer tube 802 back, thereby pulling the internal threaded tube 809 back into the external threaded tube 604. This pulls the winding roller 601 out from the support rod 401 and out from the through hole 801. After the winding roller 601 is completely removed from the through hole 801, the control panel controls the drive push rod motor 803 to stop running. Then, the auxiliary push rod motor 902 is started, so that the pressure ring 903 presses one end of the winding roller 601 onto the bottom ring 901. The control panel then starts the servo motor 805 to rotate in the opposite direction, so that the internal thread tube 809 rotates and disengages from the external thread tube 604. Then, the auxiliary push rod motor 902 is started again, so that the pressure ring 903 disengages from the winding roller 601, allowing the winding roller 601 to fall into the storage box 701, thereby achieving the effect of automatically collecting the winding roller 601.
