Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of inkjet printing, and in particular relates to a film feeding device for a UV inkjet printer. Background Art

[0002] Printers are a common printing device, and there are many types, such as pinhole printers, inkjet printers, etc. Inkjet printers are the most widely used type on the market. This type of printer can not only print on paper materials, but also on cloth or film materials.

[0003] When the existing UV inkjet printer performs inkjet printing on film materials, the film material needs to be fed into the printer housing first, and then the inkjet printing mechanism performs printing processing. The existing UV inkjet printer mostly provides an external conveying component on the outside of the printer housing for feeding the film into the printer housing. Since there is still a distance between the film feeding port and the inkjet printing mechanism, if a simple conveying roller is used to convey the fed film to the bottom of the inkjet printing mechanism, it is easy to cause the fed film to become loose or the conveying to be unstable, which not only affects the quality of inkjet printing of the conveyed film by the inkjet printing mechanism, but also easily causes damage to the UV inkjet printer.

The film paper conveyor belt is made of elastic rubber material, and the two side walls of the elastic rubber film paper conveyor belt are rotatably connected to the side vertical plates, and the conveying roller is made of a telescopic structure.

[0008] Furthermore, an annular groove is provided on the side surface of the side vertical plate corresponding to the film paper conveyor belt, and a limiting groove is provided at the bottom of the annular groove, the groove width of the limiting groove is greater than the width of the annular groove, and the cross-section formed between the annular groove and the limiting groove is a T-shaped structure, the front and rear end surfaces of the film paper conveyor belt made of elastic rubber material are inserted into the annular groove, and the front and rear end surfaces of the film paper conveyor belt are fixed with limiting slip rings, and the limiting slip rings are rotatably set in the limiting groove, and the projection shape of the annular groove and the limiting groove is the same as the projection shape of the film paper conveyor belt.

[0015] 2. The present invention sets the conveying roller into a telescopic structure, and multiple sliding strips are slidably inserted into the sliding slots, and the outer ring surface of the sliding strips is flush with the outer ring surface of the transmission cylinder.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0026] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0027] In the description of the present invention, it should be understood that the terms "opening", "upper", "lower", "thickness", "top", "middle", "length", "inside", "all around" and the like indicating orientation or positional relationship are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the components or elements referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be understood as limiting the present invention.

[0028] See also Figure 1-Figure 7As shown, the present invention is a film feeding device for a UV inkjet printer, comprising a bottom frame 1, a printer housing 2 is fixed above the bottom frame 1, and an inkjet printing mechanism 3 is slidably installed in the printer housing 2, a film paper inlet 21 is opened on the left wall of the printer housing 2, and a film paper outlet 22 is opened on the right wall thereof, a film paper conveyor belt 4 is symmetrically arranged in the upper and lower parts of the printer housing 2, and the film paper conveyor belt 4 is located on the left side of the inkjet printing mechanism 3, the upper and lower two film paper conveyor belts 4 are symmetrically arranged at the film paper inlet 21, and a support conveying port 41 is formed between the upper and lower two film paper conveyor belts 4, and the upper and lower symmetrical film paper conveyor belts 4 are rotatably installed in the printer housing 2 by adjusting the transmission assembly 5;

[0029] In the scheme designed by the present invention, therefore, when it is necessary to use a UV inkjet printer to perform inkjet printing on a film material, the operator first fixes the film to be printed and rolled up above the bottom frame and on the left side of the printer housing 2, and then drives the upper and lower symmetrical film paper conveyor belts 4 to operate by adjusting the transmission component 5, so that the upper and lower symmetrical film paper conveyor belts 4 can both rotate toward the direction of the inkjet printing mechanism 3, and then the operator first feeds the free end of the film material into the printer housing 2 through the film paper inlet 21, and since the support conveying port 41 formed between the upper and lower symmetrical film paper conveyor belts 4 is aligned with the film paper inlet 21, the film material fed into the film paper inlet 21 will enter the support conveying port 41, and then the upper The downward rotating film paper conveyor belt 4 will feed the film material accurately and stably to the bottom of the inkjet printing mechanism 3. At the same time, the upper and lower symmetrical film paper conveyor belt 4 can not only convey the film material, but also press and support the film material, thereby preventing the film material fed into the printer housing 2 from becoming loose or being conveyed unstably when being conveyed to the bottom of the inkjet printing mechanism 3. This can not only improve the UV inkjet printer's high-quality inkjet printing of the stably supported and conveyed film material, but also will not cause damage to the UV inkjet printer. The film printed by the inkjet printing mechanism 3 will be discharged from the outside of the printer housing 2 through the film paper outlet 22, and then collected and discharged through the winding mechanism or conveying mechanism on one side.

[0030] As an embodiment of the present invention, the adjustment transmission assembly 5 includes a side vertical plate 51, a rotating shaft 52, a belt transmission assembly 53 and a conveying roller 6. The front and rear sides of the upper and lower symmetrical film paper conveyor belt 4 are provided with side vertical plates 51, and the height of the side vertical plates 51 is greater than the distance between the outermost surfaces of the upper and lower film paper conveyor belts 4. Each of the side vertical plates 51 is rotatably mounted with upper and lower groups of rotating shafts 52 through bearings, and each group of rotating shafts 52 is provided with at least three, and the outer ends of each group of three rotating shafts 52 are connected by the belt transmission assembly 53 for transmission. At least three conveying rollers 6 are rotatably arranged in the film paper conveyor belt 4, and the two ends of each conveying roller 6 are respectively connected to two rotating shafts 52 symmetrically on the same axis;

[0031] In the scheme designed in the present invention, when the film paper conveyor belt 4 needs to rotate synchronously symmetrically up and down, the two servo motors fixed on the outer side of the side vertical plate 51 on the rear side are controlled to rotate, so that the conveying roller 6 is driven to rotate through the rotating shaft 52. Since at least three rotating shafts 52 are connected through the belt drive assembly 53, the three conveying rollers 6 in the film paper conveyor belt 4 will rotate synchronously, and then the upper film paper conveyor belt 4 will rotate counterclockwise, while the lower film paper conveyor belt 4 will rotate clockwise, so that the film material fed into the film paper inlet 21 can be stably and safely conveyed to the bottom of the inkjet printing mechanism 3, and high-quality inkjet printing can be performed on the film material.

[0032] As an embodiment of the present invention, the adjustment transmission assembly 5 also includes a transmission screw 54, a bar slider 55, a suspension block 56 and a guide slide 57. The printer housing 2 is symmetrically rotatably installed with a double-rotation transmission screw 54 near the upper and lower inner walls, and each double-rotation transmission screw 54 is symmetrically sleeved with a bar slider 55 through a screw nut. The two upper and lower symmetrical bar sliders 55 are connected to the side vertical plate 51 through at least two suspension blocks 56. The upper and lower inner walls of the printer housing 2 are fixed with at least two guide slides 57 along the front and rear length directions, and the guide slides 57 are connected to the bar slider 55. The film paper conveyor belt 4 is made of elastic rubber material, and the two side walls of the elastic rubber film paper conveyor belt 4 are rotatably connected to the side vertical plate 51, and the conveying roller 6 is made of a telescopic structure;

[0033] In the scheme designed by the present invention, when it is necessary to support and convey the film materials of different widths fed in, the control system of the UV inkjet printer can control the servo motor on the rear side of the printer housing 2 according to the width of the film material to be printed, so that it drives the upper and lower double-rotation transmission screws 54 to rotate synchronously, so that the two symmetrical bar sliders 55 on the same transmission screw 54 will drive the symmetrical side plates 51 to slide closer to or away from each other through the suspension block 56. If the symmetrical side plates 51 slide closer to each other, they will push the upper and lower groups of three telescopic conveying rollers 6 to shrink synchronously, and at the same time, the film paper conveyor belt 4 of the elastic rubber material will shrink, thereby reducing the width of the upper and lower symmetrical film paper conveyor belt 4, so that the film paper conveyor belt 4 can stably support and convey the narrower film material, and prevent the film material fed through the film paper inlet 21 from being narrow, causing the wider film paper conveyor belt 4 to convey the narrower film material, causing the film material to be skewed on the film paper conveyor belt 4, which will further affect the quality and accuracy of inkjet printing of the film material.

[0034] As an embodiment of the present invention, an annular groove 511 is provided on the side of the side vertical plate 51 corresponding to the film paper conveyor belt 4, and a limiting groove 512 is provided at the bottom of the annular groove 511, the groove width of the limiting groove 512 is greater than the width of the annular groove 511, and the cross-section formed between the annular groove 511 and the limiting groove 512 is a T-shaped structure, the front and rear end surfaces of the film paper conveyor belt 4 made of elastic rubber material are inserted into the annular groove 511, and the front and rear end surfaces of the film paper conveyor belt 4 are fixed with a limiting slip ring 42, and the limiting slip ring 42 is rotatably set in the limiting groove 512, and the projection shape of the annular groove 511 and the limiting groove 512 is the same as the projection shape of the film paper conveyor belt 4;

[0035] In the scheme designed by the present invention, when the symmetrical side plates 51 slide away from each other, the limit slip ring 42 rotatably installed in the limit groove 512 will pull the film paper conveyor belt 4 of the elastic rubber material to expand, so that the width of the film paper conveyor belt 4 symmetrically increased synchronously, so that the film paper conveyor belt 4 symmetrically increased can stably convey the wider film material to the bottom of the inkjet printing mechanism 3, and when the symmetrical side plates 51 are close to each other, the width of the film paper conveyor belt 4 of the elastic rubber material will shrink, thereby reducing the film paper conveyor belt 4. The belt 4 can stably transmit the film material with a smaller width; and when the multiple telescopic conveying rollers 6 drive the expanded or contracted film paper conveyor belt 4 to rotate, the film paper conveyor belt 4 extended into the annular groove 511 will drive the limiting slip ring 42 to rotate in a circle in the limiting groove 512, and because the cross-sections of the limiting groove 512 and the annular groove 511 are T-shaped structures, the film paper conveyor belt 4 can stably and safely transmit the film material under the drive of multiple conveying rollers 6, and at the same time can expand or contract under the sliding of the symmetrical side plates 51.

[0036] As an embodiment of the present invention, the conveying roller 6 of the telescopic structure includes a transmission cylinder 61, a blocking block 62, a sliding rod 63, a sliding strip 64 and a circular positioning block 65. A circular blocking block 62 is fixed at the inner center of the transmission cylinder 61, and a plurality of sliding slots 611 are opened at the center of the two end pipe openings of the transmission cylinder 61, and a plurality of sliding slots 611 are arranged in a circular array on the transmission cylinder 61. Sliding rods 63 are symmetrically slidably inserted in the two end pipe openings of the transmission cylinder 61, and a plurality of sliding strips 64 are fixed in a circular array on the outer ring surface of the sliding rod 63. Each of the sliding strips 64 is slidably inserted into each sliding slot 611, and the outer ring surfaces of the plurality of sliding strips 64 are flush with the outer ring surface of the transmission cylinder 61. A circular positioning block 65 is fixed at the outermost end of the sliding rod 63, and the diameter of the circular positioning block 65 is the same as the diameter of the transmission cylinder 61, and the circular positioning block 65 is connected to the rotating shaft 52.

[0037] In the scheme designed by the present invention, when the symmetrical side vertical plates 51 slide close to each other, the symmetrical side vertical plates 51 will push the sliding rod 63 to be synchronously inserted into the transmission cylinder 61 through the circular positioning block 65, and at the same time, multiple sliding strips 64 will slide and insert into multiple sliding slots 611, so that the length of the entire conveying roller 6 can be contracted, so that the contracted conveying roller 6 can drive the contracted film paper conveyor belt 4 to operate and support the film material; when the symmetrical side vertical plates 51 slide away from each other, the sliding rod 63 will be pulled out of the transmission cylinder 61, and the sliding strip 64 will slide outward from the sliding slot 611, The easily extended conveying roller 6 can drive the expanded film paper conveying belt 4 to operate and support the conveying of the film material; and multiple sliding strips 64 are slidably inserted into the sliding slots 611, and the outer ring surface of the sliding strips 64 is flush with the outer ring surface of the transmission cylinder 61. Therefore, the rotating shaft 52 cannot drive the transmission cylinder 61 to rotate through the sliding rods 63 and the sliding strips 64. At the same time, the outer ring surfaces of the multiple sliding rods 63 will always be in contact with the inner ring surface of the film paper conveying belt 4, so that the conveying roller 6 can stably and safely drive the film paper conveying belt 4 to rotate regardless of whether it is contracted or extended, and it will not affect the normal contraction and extension of the conveying roller 6.

[0038] As an embodiment of the present invention, the surface of the film paper conveyor belt 4 is a rough surface, and the surface of the film paper conveyor belt 4 has an antistatic layer; the rough surface of the film paper conveyor belt 4 can increase the conveying friction force on the film material, so that the film paper conveyor belt 4 can efficiently and accurately support and convey the film material; and the antistatic layer on the surface can prevent static electricity from being generated on the surface of the film material when the rubber material film paper conveyor belt 4 frictionally conveys the film material, thereby affecting the inkjet printing quality of the film material.

[0039] As an embodiment of the present invention, a plurality of groups of symmetrical traction rollers 7 are arranged on one side of the film paper outlet 22 inside the printer housing 2, support frames 8 are vertically fixed to the left and right outer sides of the printer housing 2, and conveying support rollers 9 are symmetrically installed between the support frames 8 for vertical rotation; in the scheme designed by the present invention, when the film material needs to be inkjet printed, the free end of the film material will first enter the conveying support roller 9 on the side of the film paper inlet 21 to support and convey the film material, and when the film material is completed by inkjet printing, the symmetrical traction rollers 7 located on the right side of the inkjet printing mechanism 3 will convey the printed film material to the film paper outlet 22, and then convey it through the conveying support roller 9 on the outside of the film paper outlet 22.

[0040] As an embodiment of the present invention, a support base 10 is fixed to the upper surface of the base frame 1, and the support base 10 is located on the left side of the printer housing 2. The support base 10 is used to rotatably support the film material to be printed and rolled up.

[0041] Working principle:

[0042] When it is necessary to use a UV inkjet printer to perform inkjet printing on film materials, the operator first fixes the film to be printed and rolled up above the bottom frame and on the left side of the printer housing 2, and controls the two servo motors fixed on the outer side of the side vertical plate 51 on the rear side to rotate, so that the two servo motors 52 drive the conveyor roller 6 to rotate, and since at least three rotating shafts 52 are connected through the belt drive assembly 53, the three conveyor rollers 6 in the film paper conveyor belt 4 will rotate synchronously, thereby causing the upper film paper conveyor belt 4 to rotate counterclockwise, while the lower film paper conveyor belt 4 rotates clockwise, and then the free end of the film material will first enter the conveyor support roller 9 on the side of the film paper inlet 21 to support the film material. The support conveying port 41 formed between the upper and lower symmetrical film paper conveyor belts 4 is aligned with the film paper inlet 21. Therefore, the film material fed into the film paper inlet 21 will enter the support conveying port 41, and then the film paper conveyor belt 4 rotating up and down will feed the film material accurately and stably to the bottom of the inkjet printing mechanism 3. At the same time, the upper and lower symmetrical film paper conveyor belts 4 can not only convey the film material, but also press and support the film material. When the film material is inkjet printed, the upper and lower symmetrical traction rollers 7 located on the right side of the inkjet printing mechanism 3 will convey the printed film material to the film paper outlet 22, and then convey it through the conveying support rollers 9 outside the film paper outlet 22.
