[0038] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention are described clearly and completely. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, 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.

[0039] This application provides a printing machine and printing method for sofa production, solving the problem that when inkjet printing sofa fabric, it is inconvenient to move one end of the fabric from one side of the machine body 1 to the other side of the machine body 1 due to the presence of the inkjet printing box. On the one hand, it facilitates the neat placement and fixing of the sofa fabric above the processing platform 102 by passing it through the printing box 2; on the other hand, after inkjet printing is completed, the printing box 2 and the clamping assembly 3 move back to their original positions for easy re-printing.

[0040] To better understand the above technical solutions, the following will provide a detailed explanation of the technical solutions in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0041] This invention discloses a printing machine for sofa production and its printing method.

[0042] According to the appendix Figure 1-9 As shown, a printing machine for sofa production includes a machine body 1, a support frame 101 is installed on the top of the machine body 1, and a processing platform 102 is fixedly installed on the top of the support frame 101. A printing box 2 and a clamping assembly 3 are respectively installed on both sides of the processing platform 102. The printing box 2 and the clamping assembly 3 are used for printing and clamping the sofa fabric, respectively. The printing box 2 and the clamping assembly 3 are connected to a drive assembly, which is used to drive the printing box 2 and the clamping assembly 3 to move in opposite directions.

[0043] Fixing components 4 are installed on both sides of the top of the processing platform 102. The fixing components 4 are used to fix the sofa fabric on the top of the processing platform 102.

[0044] The printing box 2 is existing technology, such as the printing box in a textile fabric printing machine disclosed in Chinese Patent Publication No. CN110481170B.

[0045] During the processing, the sofa fabric is first placed on the processing platform 102, and then one end of the sofa fabric is clamped by the clamping component 3. At this time, one end of the sofa fabric is fixed by the fixing component 4. Then, the drive component is activated to drive the printing box 2 and the clamping component 3 to move in opposite directions. During the movement of the clamping component 3, one end of the sofa fabric can be moved accordingly, while the printing box 2 moves towards the fixed end of the sofa fabric.

[0046] At this point, the operator moves to the other end of the processing platform 102, that is, the position of another fixing component 4, until the clamping component 3 brings the end of the sofa fabric close, and then removes the sofa fabric fixed in the clamping component 3. The end of the sofa fabric is then fixed by the other fixing component 4, thus fixing the entire sofa fabric. The drive component is then activated again, causing the printing box 2 and the clamping component 3 to move in the opposite direction, and the printing box 2 is opened, so that the open printing box 2 moves above the sofa fabric, thereby printing ink on the sofa fabric. At the same time, the clamping component 3 moves to the initial position, which makes it convenient to pass the sofa fabric through the printing box 2 and place it neatly above the processing platform 102 for fixing. On the other hand, after the printing box 2 finishes printing ink, the printing box 2 and the clamping component 3 move back to their original positions for the next printing operation.

[0047] Furthermore, the top of the machine body 1 is provided with multiple first slide grooves 103, the bottom of the printing box 2 is fixedly connected with multiple slide bars 201, and the multiple slide bars 201 are slidably connected to the inner wall of the first slide grooves 103 respectively. The bottom of the printing box 2 is also provided with an empty groove 202, and multiple rollers 203 are rotatably connected to the inner wall of the empty groove 202, and the multiple rollers 203 are all in contact with the top of the machine body 1. The bottom of the printing box 2 is fixedly connected with a first transmission bar 204.

[0048] The first slide groove 103 and slide bar 201 are used to limit the movement of the printing box 2, so that it can slide stably in the horizontal direction. The bottom empty groove 202 of the printing box 2 is provided with multiple rollers 203 that are in contact with the top of the machine body 1, which makes it easier for the printing box 2 to move above the processing platform 102.

[0049] Specifically disclosed, clamping component 3 includes:

[0050] The second transmission bar 301 is slidably disposed between the top of the machine body 1 and the processing platform 102, and the first transmission bar 204 and the second transmission bar 301 are connected to the drive assembly for transmission.

[0051] The fixing strip 302 is fixedly installed at the end of the second transmission strip 301, and the inner side of the fixing strip 302 is provided with a positioning block 303 and a clamping block 304. The bottom of the clamping block 304 is set as a semi-circular arc surface.

[0052] Furthermore, the top of the clamping block 304 is slidably disposed inside the fixing strip 302, and a clamping spring 305 is fixedly connected between the top of the clamping block 304 and the inner wall of the fixing strip 302. An inclined surface 306 is provided on one side of the bottom end of the clamping block 304.

[0053] When clamping one end of the sofa fabric, the corner of the sofa fabric is inserted between the clamping block 304 and the positioning block 303 from the front or side. When the corner of the sofa fabric is inserted between the clamping block 304 and the positioning block 303 from the bottom front of the clamping block 304, because the bottom of the clamping block 304 is set as a semi-circular surface, it will squeeze the clamping block 304 upward, compressing the clamping spring 305, so that the corner of the sofa fabric is inserted between the clamping block 304 and the positioning block 303. The reason is that because the bottom end of the clamping block 304 has a sloping surface 306, when the corner of the sofa fabric is inserted from the side of the clamping block 304 between the clamping block 304 and the positioning block 303, the clamping block 304 will be squeezed to move upward, so that the corner of the sofa fabric is inserted between the clamping block 304 and the positioning block 303. The clamping spring 305 will squeeze and fix the sofa fabric between the clamping block 304 and the positioning block 303. After the two corners of the sofa fabric are fixed, the sofa fabric can be pulled to move.

[0054] Furthermore, a second slide groove 104 is provided on the outer side of the processing platform 102, and a slider 307 is fixedly connected to the bottom side of the fixing strip 302. The slider 307 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the second slide groove 104.

[0055] The slider 307 on the bottom side of the fixing bar 302 is slidably disposed in the second slide groove 104, thereby limiting the movement of the processing platform 102 and enabling it to slide stably in the horizontal direction.

[0056] Specifically disclosed, the fixing component 4 includes a fixing frame 401, which is disposed above the processing platform 102. A support bar 402 is fixedly connected to the end of the fixing frame 401, and the support bar 402 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the processing platform 102. The fixing frame 401 has two slots that pass through each other vertically, and a handle 403 is inserted between the two slots. An extrusion bar 404 is fixedly connected to the end of the handle 403.

[0057] Furthermore, a compression spring 405 is movably sleeved on the outer side of the end of the handle 403, and the two ends of the compression spring 405 are respectively fixedly connected to the lower part of the fixing frame 401 and the upper part of the compression bar 404.

[0058] When fixing the sofa fabric, simply pull the handle 403 upwards to move the extrusion strip 404 upwards and compress the extrusion spring 405. After placing the end of the sofa fabric between the extrusion strip 404 and the processing platform 102, release the handle 403. Under the action of the extrusion spring 405, the end of the sofa fabric can be fixed.

[0059] Specifically disclosed, the drive assembly includes a drive motor 5, which is fixedly mounted on the top of the body 1. Two bearing seats 501 are mounted on the top of the body 1. A first lead screw 502 and a second lead screw 503 rotate between the two bearing seats 501. The drive shaft of the drive motor 5 is fixedly connected to one end of the first lead screw 502. A first transmission bar 204 is threaded to the outside of the first lead screw 502, and a second transmission bar 301 is threaded to the outside of the second lead screw 503.

[0060] Furthermore, the ends of the first lead screw 502 and the second lead screw 503 away from the drive motor 5 extend outward through the bearing housing 501 and are respectively fixedly connected to the first transmission gear 504 and the second transmission gear 505, and the first transmission gear 504 and the second transmission gear 505 are meshed together.

[0061] When the drive motor 5 is turned on, its drive shaft can drive the first lead screw 502 to rotate. The first lead screw 502 and the second lead screw 503 are connected by the first transmission gear 504 and the second transmission gear 505. When the first transmission gear 504 and the second transmission gear 505 are meshed, their rotation directions are opposite, so the first lead screw 502 and the second lead screw 503 rotate in opposite directions, thereby enabling the first transmission bar 204 and the second transmission bar 301 to move in opposite directions.

[0062] A printing method for a printing machine used in sofa production, the printing method comprising the following steps:

[0063] Step 1: During the processing, first place the sofa fabric on the processing platform 102, then use the clamping component 3 to clamp one end of the sofa fabric, and then use the fixing component 4 to fix one end of the sofa fabric.

[0064] Step 2: Activate the drive component to drive the printing box 2 and the clamping component 3 to move in opposite directions. During the movement of the clamping component 3, one end of the sofa fabric can be moved accordingly, while the printing box 2 moves towards the fixed end of the sofa fabric.

[0065] Step 3: The operator moves to the other end of the processing platform 102, that is, the position of another fixing component 4, until the clamping component 3 brings the end of the sofa fabric close, and then removes the sofa fabric fixed in the clamping component 3. The end of the sofa fabric is fixed by the other fixing component 4, thus fixing the entire sofa fabric.

[0066] Step 4: Reactivate the drive assembly to move the printing box 2 and clamping assembly 3 in the opposite direction, and open the printing box 2 so that the open printing box 2 moves above the sofa fabric to print ink on the sofa fabric. At the same time, the clamping assembly 3 moves to the initial position.

[0067] Step 5: Open the fixing components 4 on both sides and remove the sofa fabric from above the processing platform 102.

[0068] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of the present invention. Those skilled in the art should understand that the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments.
