Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of anilox roller cleaning technology, and in particular to an anilox roller cleaning machine. Background Technology

[0002] In the printing industry, anilox rollers are indispensable equipment. As a core component of flexographic printing presses, they are responsible for evenly transferring a specific amount of ink onto the printing plate. The quality of the anilox roller's forming and surface finish has a decisive impact on the quality of the printed product and the printing speed.

[0003] The surface of the anilox roller is uniformly covered with numerous tiny, uniformly shaped recesses, commonly referred to as "inking holes." These holes play a crucial role in ink storage, even distribution, and precise ink transfer during printing. The inking holes are typically engraved at a 45° angle to the axis, and the partitions between them are called "millimeter walls." The area of ​​the millimeter walls depends on the shape of the ink holes. Several common inking hole shapes include: square pyramids, square frustums, hexagonal frustums, trapezoidal cross-sections, and inking holes with additional channels. The opening size and depth of the inking holes significantly affect their ink transfer performance; a larger opening and shallower depth result in better ink transfer, while conversely, smaller openings and shallower depths lead to poorer ink transfer.

[0004] After use, the bottom of the cells on the anilox roller needs to be cleaned promptly to prevent ink from drying and remaining at the bottom of the cells. There are currently four main cleaning methods:

[0005] The first method: Soaking with a special cleaning solution. There are many special cleaning solutions on the market that can re-wet the dried ink at the bottom of the mesh and perform a deep cleaning, with good cleaning results; however, it takes a long time.

[0006] The second method is ultrasonic cleaning. The anilox roller is immersed in an ultrasonic cleaning system filled with a chemical cleaning solution. A frequency converter inside the system sends high-frequency sound waves, breaking up the dried ink in the cells and allowing it to flow away with the cleaning solution. When using ultrasonic cleaning, it is crucial to note that excessively long cleaning times can damage the cells. The higher the line count of the anilox roller, the shorter the cleaning time; however, shorter times will affect the cleaning quality of the cells.

[0007] The third method is low-pressure spray cleaning. Using baking soda or plastic beads as cleaning powder, the anilox roller is sprayed under low pressure to thoroughly clean the dried ink in the cells. However, care should be taken not to spray too high a pressure (generally not exceeding 0.1 MPa), otherwise the ceramic layer of the ceramic anilox roller may fall off the roller body; the limited pressure affects the cleaning efficiency and quality.

[0008] The fourth method involves using a brush to clean the holes, but for small holes, the brush bristles are larger than the mesh openings, making it impossible to reach the debris within the mesh.

[0009] This invention combines the above three methods to achieve the technical effect of ensuring both efficiency and quality. Summary of the Invention

[0010] Therefore, it is necessary to address the existing problems in current anilox roller cleaning by providing an anilox roller cleaning machine. This machine forms a cavity on the outside of the anilox roller through a mounting shell, and an ultrasonic vibration generator is installed inside the mounting shell. During cleaning, water is injected into the mounting shell, and the water vibrates under the action of the ultrasonic vibration generator, thereby cleaning the anilox roller through the vibration of the water.

[0011] The above objectives are achieved through the following technical solutions:

[0012] A type of anilox roller cleaning machine, comprising:

[0013] Support components are used to fix the anilox roller.

[0014] The cleaning assembly includes a mounting housing, electric push rods, a mounting slide, a vibration accessory, a mounting plate, a transmission assembly, cleaning needles, a water inlet assembly one, and a water inlet assembly two. Water inlet assembly one and water inlet assembly two are mounted at both ends of the mounting housing. The mounting slide is slidably mounted inside the mounting housing and located between water inlet assembly one and water inlet assembly two. Multiple evenly distributed electric push rods are mounted between the mounting slide and the inner end face of the mounting housing. A mounting plate is slidably mounted inside the mounting slide. Multiple evenly distributed ultrasonic transmitters are fixedly mounted between the mounting plate and the inner end face of the mounting slide. An elastic pad is fixedly mounted inside the mounting slide, and multiple evenly distributed cleaning needles are fixedly mounted on the elastic pad. A transmission assembly is installed between each cleaning needle and the mounting plate.

[0015] The transmission assembly includes a trapezoidal slider, a first connecting rod, and a second connecting rod. The trapezoidal slider is slidably mounted on the mounting slide plate. The first connecting rod is hinged to the lower side of the trapezoidal slider. The lower end of the first connecting rod is hinged to the second connecting rod via a connecting pin. The lower end of the second connecting rod is hinged to the upper end of the corresponding cleaning needle. The guide shell is fixedly mounted inside the mounting slide shell, and the connecting pin is slidably mounted inside the guide shell.

[0016] The drive rod is fixedly mounted on the mounting housing for the robotic arm to grasp.

[0017] In one embodiment, the support assembly includes a locking block, a bracket, and a tightening bolt, wherein the bracket is Y-shaped, and the lower side of the locking block has a semi-circular groove; the locking block is mounted on the bracket and tightened by the tightening bolt.

[0018] In one embodiment, the mounting housing has a water inlet 1 and a water inlet 2 at both ends; the water inlet 1 is close to the mounting slide; the water inlet assembly 1 is installed at the water inlet 1, and the water inlet assembly 2 is installed at the water inlet 2.

[0019] The water inlet assembly one and water inlet assembly two are completely identical. For water inlet assembly one, it includes a main water pipe, a branch pipe, and a square water inlet shell, wherein the square water inlet shell is fixedly installed at the corresponding water inlet; multiple branch pipes are evenly fixedly installed on the square water inlet shell; all branch pipes are connected through a main water pipe.

[0020] In one embodiment, the mounting housing is a Y-shaped housing, with a sealing arc plate on one side of the open end of the mounting housing; during operation, the sealing arc plate is in close contact with the anilox roller; and there is a water outlet gap between the other side of the open end of the mounting housing and the anilox roller.

[0021] In one embodiment, the mounting housing has a mounting groove, the mounting shell is slidably mounted in the mounting groove, and a sliding sealing component is installed between the mounting shell and the mounting groove.

[0022] In one embodiment, multiple sets of evenly distributed fixing rods are fixedly installed inside the mounting slide shell. Multiple evenly distributed guide shells are symmetrically installed on two fixing rods in each set. The two symmetrical guide shells correspond one-to-one with the connecting pins connecting the first link and the second link in the transmission assembly. The two ends of the connecting pins connecting the first link and the second link in the transmission assembly are slidably installed in the corresponding two guide shells.

[0023] The guide shell is a Y-shaped shell.

[0024] In one embodiment, a fixing disc is fixedly mounted on the cleaning needle, and the cleaning needle is fixedly mounted on the elastic pad by the fixing disc.

[0025] In one embodiment, the fixed disk is an adhesive adsorption disk.

[0026] In one embodiment, the size of the water outlet gap is 2 mm.

[0027] In one embodiment, the sealing arc plate is an elastic plate.

[0028] The beneficial effects of this invention are:

[0029] 1. Controlling the operation of the ultrasonic transmitter in the cleaning assembly controls the vibration of the mounting slide plate. The vibration of the mounting slide plate drives the first connecting rod to vibrate up and down. The swing of the first connecting rod drives the second connecting rod to vibrate up and down through the connecting pin. During this process, the connecting pin slides in the corresponding guide housing. The vibration of the second connecting rod drives the cleaning needle to vibrate. The cleaning needle transmits the ultrasonic vibration to the water cavity formed in the mounting housing, causing the water to vibrate and rinse the mesh, thereby cleaning the anilox roller. This ensures the rinsing effect and also allows the water flow to carry away some of the ultrasonic vibration energy, preventing damage to the anilox roller caused by direct ultrasonic vibration cleaning.

[0030] 2. This invention features a sealing arc plate on one side of the opening of the mounting housing, and a water outlet gap on the other side. This design ensures that water injected from the water inlet assembly flows along the cavity formed between the mounting housing and the anilox roller towards the water outlet gap with relatively low flow pressure, enabling preliminary cleaning of the anilox roller without damaging it. During this process, water injected from the water inlet assembly will not flow out from the sealing arc plate, thus affecting the cleaning effect. In other words, the sealing arc plate seals one side of the cavity formed between the mounting housing and the anilox roller, ensuring the effective cleaning of the anilox roller. A portion of the water injected from inlet component two flows towards the side where the sliding shell is installed. This portion of water acts as a barrier to the water injected from inlet component one, ensuring sufficient water between inlet one and inlet two to form a water cavity. This facilitates the ultrasonic vibration of the cleaning needles to clean the anilox roller. By controlling the water flow pressure of inlet component two, the state of the water in the water cavity—whether it is flowing or still, and the speed of the flowing water—can be controlled. This design can adapt to the cleaning needs of different sizes of mesh holes, making it more flexible to use. In addition, the water entering from inlet two can further clean the debris removed by ultrasonic vibration. Attached Figure Description

Furthermore, "above," "over," and "on top" of the second feature can mean that the first feature is directly above or diagonally above the second feature, or simply that the first feature is at a higher horizontal level than the second feature. "Below," "below," and "under" the second feature can mean that the first feature is directly below or diagonally below the second feature, or simply that the first feature is at a lower horizontal level than the second feature.

[0048] like Figure 1 -like Figure 13 As shown, a cleaning machine for anilox roller 2 includes a support assembly 1 for fixing the anilox roller 2; and a cleaning assembly 3, such as... Figure 5 , 9 As shown, the cleaning assembly 3 includes a mounting housing 31, electric push rods 32, a mounting slide 33, a vibration accessory, a mounting plate 35, a transmission assembly 37, a cleaning needle 38, a water inlet assembly 5, and a water inlet assembly 6. Water inlet assembly 5 and water inlet assembly 6 are mounted at both ends of the mounting housing 31. The mounting slide 33 is slidably mounted inside the mounting housing 31 and located between water inlet assembly 5 and water inlet assembly 6. Multiple evenly distributed electric push rods 32 are mounted between the mounting slide 33 and the inner end face of the mounting housing 31. A mounting plate 35 is slidably mounted inside the mounting slide 33. Multiple evenly distributed ultrasonic transmitters are fixedly mounted between the mounting plate 35 and the inner end face of the mounting slide 33. An elastic pad 36 is fixedly mounted... Inside the mounting slide 33, multiple evenly distributed cleaning needles 38 are fixedly mounted on the elastic pad 36; a transmission assembly 37 is installed between each cleaning needle 38 and the mounting slide 35; the transmission assembly 37 includes a trapezoidal slider 371, a first connecting rod 372, and a second connecting rod 373, wherein the trapezoidal slider 371 is slidably mounted on the mounting slide 35, the lower side of the trapezoidal slider 371 is hinged to the first connecting rod 372, the lower end of the first connecting rod 372 is hinged to the second connecting rod 373 via a connecting pin 376, and the lower end of the second connecting rod 373 is hinged to the upper end of the corresponding cleaning needle 38; a guide shell 375 is fixedly mounted inside the mounting slide 33, and the connecting pin 376 is slidably mounted inside the guide shell 375; Figure 3 As shown, drive rod 4 is fixedly mounted on mounting housing 31 for robotic arm gripping.

[0049] Before cleaning, the anilox roller 2 is first fixedly installed on the support component 1, and the anilox roller 2 is supported by the support component 1; then the cleaning component 3 is installed on the auxiliary robotic arm. The purpose of the drive rod 4 in this invention is to facilitate the robotic arm to grasp the cleaning component 3.

[0050] During cleaning, water is injected into the mounting housing 31, and the operation of the ultrasonic transmitter in the cleaning assembly 3 controls the vibration of the mounting slide plate 35. The vibration of the mounting slide plate 35 drives the first connecting rod 372 to vibrate up and down. The swing of the first connecting rod 372 drives the second connecting rod 373 to vibrate up and down through the connecting pin 376. During this process, the connecting pin 376 slides in the corresponding guide housing 375. The vibration of the second connecting rod 373 drives the cleaning needle 38 to vibrate. The cleaning needle 38 transmits the ultrasonic vibration to the water cavity formed in the mounting housing 31, so that the water washes the anilox roller 2. In this invention, the frictional force F between the connecting pin 376 and the guide shell 375 is equal to the normal force F1 between the connecting pin 376 and the guide shell 375 multiplied by the sliding friction coefficient f between the connecting pin 376 and the guide shell 375, i.e., F = F1 * f. Because the mounting plate 35 is driven to vibrate by the ultrasonic transmitter during this process, the vibration frequency is relatively high, and the acceleration is correspondingly high, resulting in a relatively high normal force between the connecting pin 376 and the guide shell 375. The friction coefficient between the connecting pin 376 and the guide shell 375 in this invention ensures that the connecting pin 376 slides up and down within the guide shell 375 without swaying left and right. This design ensures that the ultrasonic vibration driven by the mounting plate 35 can be smoothly transmitted to the cleaning needles 38, and the first connecting rod 372 and the second connecting rod 373 will not oscillate. In this invention, the distance between adjacent cleaning needles 38 is less than the width of the mesh wall.

[0051] In this invention, the elastic pad 36 functions to reposition the cleaning needle 38 through its elasticity.

[0052] In a further embodiment, such as Figure 2 As shown, the support assembly 1 includes a locking block 11, a bracket 12, and a tightening bolt 13. The bracket 12 is Y-shaped, and the lower side of the locking block 11 has a semi-circular groove. The locking block 11 is mounted on the bracket 12 and tightened by the tightening bolt 13.

[0053] The locking block 11 is used to install the rotating shaft of the anilox roller 2. The locking block 11 and the bracket 12 cooperate to form a sleeve-like structure for installing the rotating shaft of the anilox roller 2. In the process of cleaning the anilox roller 2, this invention requires rotating the anilox roller 2 to change the area being cleaned. The rotation of the anilox roller 2 can be manual or mechanized by auxiliary equipment; the rotation direction is as follows... Figure 4 As shown.

[0054] In a further embodiment, such as Figure 7 , 8 As shown, the mounting housing 31 has a water inlet 312 and a water inlet 311 at both ends; the water inlet 312 is close to the mounting sliding housing 33; as Figure 1 As shown, water inlet component 1 5 is installed at water inlet 1 312, and water inlet component 2 6 is installed at water inlet 2 311.

[0055] like Figure 6 As shown, the water inlet assembly 5 and the water inlet assembly 6 are completely identical. The water inlet assembly 5 includes a main water pipe 51, a branch pipe 52, and a square water inlet shell 53. The square water inlet shell 53 is fixedly installed at the corresponding water inlet. Multiple branch pipes 52 are evenly fixedly installed on the square water inlet shell 53. All branch pipes 52 are connected through a main water pipe 51.

[0056] The present invention has made special designs for water inlet component 5 and water inlet component 6; multiple evenly distributed diversion pipes 52 are set in the water inlet component, and the design of the diversion pipes 52 can ensure that the water injected into the mounting housing 31 can be evenly sprayed to various positions of the anilox roller 2; thereby improving the cleaning effect of the anilox roller 2.

[0057] The water inlet component 5 and the water inlet component 6 of this invention are spaced apart to ensure that the water cavity formed inside the housing 31 has sufficient length and that the injected water has sufficient soaking time for the slag on the anilox roller 2. In addition, the cleaning needle 38 is close to the water inlet component 5, so that sufficient time can be left for soaking after vibration cleaning to ensure the cleaning effect.

[0058] In a further embodiment, such as Figure 8 As shown, the mounting housing 31 is a Y-shaped housing, and one side of the open end of the mounting housing 31 has a sealing arc plate 313; as Figure 4 As shown, during operation, the sealing arc plate 313 is in close contact with the anilox roller 2; the other side of the opening end of the mounting housing 31 has a water outlet gap 7 between it and the anilox roller 2.

[0059] The present invention provides a sealing arc plate 313 on one side of the opening end of the mounting housing 31, and a water outlet gap 7 on the other side. This design ensures that the water injected from the water inlet component 5 can flow along the cavity formed between the mounting housing 31 and the anilox roller 2 towards the water outlet gap 7, and the flow pressure is relatively low, which can perform preliminary cleaning of the anilox roller 2, while the flow pressure will not cause damage to the anilox roller 2. During this process, the water injected from the water inlet component 5 will not flow out from the sealing arc plate 313, affecting the cleaning effect. That is, the sealing arc plate 313 can seal one side of the cavity formed between the mounting housing 31 and the anilox roller 2, ensuring the cleaning effect of the anilox roller 2. A portion of the water injected from water inlet assembly 2 6 flows toward the mounting slide 33. This portion of water blocks the water injected from water inlet assembly 1 5, ensuring sufficient water between water inlet 1 312 and water inlet 2 311 to form a water cavity. This facilitates the ultrasonic vibration of cleaning needle 38 to clean the anilox roller 2. By controlling the water flow pressure of water inlet assembly 2 6, the water in the water cavity can be controlled to be in a flowing or static state, as well as the speed of the flowing water. This design can adapt to the cleaning needs of different sized meshes, making it more flexible to use. In addition, the water entering from water inlet 2 311 can further clean the debris removed by ultrasonic vibration.

[0060] In a further embodiment, such as Figure 5 , 8 As shown, the mounting housing 31 has a mounting groove 314 inside, the mounting shell 33 is slidably installed in the mounting groove 314, and a sliding sealing component is installed between the mounting shell 33 and the mounting groove 314.

[0061] In a further embodiment, such as Figure 11 , 12 As shown, multiple sets of evenly distributed fixing rods 374 are fixedly installed inside the mounting slide shell 33. Multiple evenly distributed guide shells 375 are symmetrically installed on two fixing rods 374 in each set. The two symmetrical guide shells 375 correspond one-to-one with the connecting pins 376 connecting the first connecting rod 372 and the second connecting rod 373 in the transmission assembly 37. The two ends of the connecting pins 376 connecting the first connecting rod 372 and the second connecting rod 373 in the transmission assembly 37 are slidably installed in the corresponding two guide shells 375.

[0062] like Figure 12 As shown, the guide shell 375 is a Y-shaped shell.

[0063] like Figure 13As shown, before ultrasonic vibration, when the control cleaning component 3 approaches the anilox roller 2, the lower ends of some cleaning needles 38 will not insert into the mesh cavity, but will press against the mesh wall of the anilox roller 2. At this time, the mesh wall will exert an upward thrust on the cleaning needles 38. When the cleaning needles 38 are subjected to an upward thrust, they will drive the first connecting rod 372, the second connecting rod 373, and the connecting pin 376 connecting the first connecting rod 372 and the second connecting rod 373 to slide upward along the guide shell 375. After the cleaning needles 38 that cooperate with the mesh cavity move into place, the remaining cleaning needles 38 pressing against the mesh wall will drive the connecting pin 376 to be pushed into the V-shaped area of ​​the guide shell 375. If ultrasonic vibration is performed at this time, after the guide shell 375 loses its guiding effect on the connecting pin 376, the vibration of the mounting plate 35 will drive the first connecting rod 372 and the second connecting rod 373 to swing, and the trapezoidal slider 371 will slide accordingly. The cleaning needles 38 pressing against the mesh wall will not affect the operation of the remaining cleaning needles 38.

[0064] In a further embodiment, such as Figure 11 , 12 As shown, a fixing disc 381 is fixedly installed on the cleaning needle 38, and the cleaning needle 38 is fixedly installed on the elastic pad 36 through the fixing disc 381.

[0065] In a further embodiment, the fixed disc 381 is an adhesive adsorption disc, ensuring a high degree of connectivity between the cleaning needle 38 and the elastic pad 36.

[0066] In a further embodiment, the size of the water outlet gap 7 is 2mm.

[0067] In a further embodiment, the sealing arc plate 313 is an elastic plate, ensuring the sealing performance of the mounting housing 31 and the wire mesh roller at the sealing arc plate 313.

[0068] The cleaning needle 38 of this invention has a pointed lower end, which allows it to be inserted into mesh holes of different sizes without affecting the vibration of the cleaning needle 38.

[0069] like Figure 9 , 10 As shown, multiple guide grooves 331 are evenly opened on the two inner walls of the mounting slide shell 33, and multiple guide sliders 352 are evenly fixedly installed on the mounting slide plate 35. The mounting slide plate 35 is installed in the mounting slide shell 33 through the sliding cooperation of the guide sliders 352 and the guide grooves 331.

[0070] like Figure 10 As shown, the bottom surface of the mounting slide shell 33 has evenly distributed circular sliding holes 332 for the cleaning needles 38 to pass through.

[0071] like Figure 11As shown, the mounting slide plate 35 has a trapezoidal groove 351 for mounting the trapezoidal slider 371.

[0072] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0073] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of several implementations of the present invention, and while the descriptions are specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the invention. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of the present invention, and these modifications and improvements all fall within the scope of protection of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention should be determined by the appended claims.
