In this way, the clamping needs to be divided into two steps, and the printing cylinder needs to stop rotating and then start the printing cylinder, which is cumbersome and troublesome.

The printing cylinder is provided with a mounting cavity. The first printing clamping system and the second printing clamping system can be rotatably mounted in the mounting cavity. The first printing clamping system can be pressed on the side of the second printing clamping system close to the rotation axis of the printing cylinder. The first printing clamping system and the second printing clamping system press the side of the mounting cavity respectively. The rotary pressure system is mounted in the mounting cavity of the printing cylinder. The rotary pressure system comprises a reciprocating air pumping device, a push air bag and an exhaust tension spring. The inflation device is installed in the installation cavity, and the reciprocating inflation device is connected to the pushing airbag.

The unilateral pre-stressing system is a pre-stressing spring. The two ends of the pre-stressing spring are respectively installed on the installation cavity and the second printing clamping system.

[0028] The present invention will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings:
[0029] like Figure 1 — Figure 4As shown, this embodiment provides a semi-automatic plate loading system of a printing press, including a printing cylinder 1, a first printing clamping system 2, a second printing clamping system 3, a rotary pressure system 4 and a unilateral pre-pressing system 5. The printing cylinder 1 is provided with a mounting cavity 11, and the first printing clamping system 2 and the second printing clamping system 3 can be rotatably mounted in the mounting cavity 11. The first printing clamping system 2 can be pressed on the side of the second printing clamping system 3 close to the rotation axis of the printing cylinder 1, so that the first printing clamping system 2 can push the second printing clamping system 3 to rotate. The first printing clamping system 2 and the second printing clamping system 3 respectively press the sides of the installation cavity 11, so that the printing plate 6 can be pressed on the two sides of the installation cavity 11 by the first printing clamping system 2 and the second printing clamping system 3 respectively, thereby fixing the printing plate 6. The rotary pressure system 4 is installed in the installation cavity 11 of the printing cylinder 1. The rotary pressure system 4 includes a reciprocating air pumping device 41, a push air bag 42 and an exhaust tension spring 43. The reciprocating air pumping device 41 is installed in the installation cavity 11. 1, the reciprocating air pumping device 41 is connected with the pushing airbag 42, and then the reciprocating air pumping device 41 guides the high-pressure gas to the pushing airbag 42, the pushing airbag 42 is installed between the installation cavity 11 and the first printing clamping system 2, the pushing airbag 42 is in transmission connection with the first printing clamping system 2, the pushing airbag 42 expands and pushes the first printing clamping system 2 when the reciprocating air pumping device 41 is inflated, and the two ends of the exhaust tension spring 43 are respectively installed in the installation cavity 11 and outside the pushing airbag 42, and the exhaust tension spring 43 pulls the pushing airbag 42 when it is in a free state The air is exhausted, thereby resetting the first printing clamping system 2. A pressure relief hole is provided on the pushing airbag 42 to facilitate the resetting of the pushing airbag 42 and also limit the pressure of the pushing airbag 42 to prevent the pushing airbag 42 from being burst. The unilateral pre-stressing system 5 is a pre-stressing spring, and the two ends of the pre-stressing spring are respectively installed on the mounting cavity 11 and the second printing clamping system 3. The action force of the pre-stressing spring causes the second printing clamping system 3 to rotate toward the side direction of the nearest mounting cavity 11, and then clamp one end of the printing plate 6, thereby realizing semi-automatic plate loading and shortening the plate loading time.
[0030] When installing the plate, first clamp one end of the printing plate 6 on the side wall of the second printing clamping system 3 and the installation cavity 11, and place the other end of the printing plate 6 between the first printing clamping system 2 and the other side wall of the installation cavity 11. The pre-compression spring drives the second printing clamping system 3 to clamp one end of the printing plate 6. Then, as the printing cylinder 1 rotates, due to the well-known structure in the prior art, the printing cylinder 1 cooperates with the rubber roller and rotates synchronously. The reciprocating air pumping device 41 repeatedly pushes the rubber roller to inflate, and the pushing airbag 42 gradually inflates, thereby gradually pushing the first printing clamping system 2 to rotate and clamp the other side of the printing plate 6, so as to clamp the other end of the printing plate 6 and gradually clamp it. In the prior art, the printing cylinder 1 cooperates with the rubber roller, and the printing plate 6 is automatically adjusted by the repeated squeezing of the rubber roller in the process of following the rotation of the printing cylinder 1 to fit the outer side of the printing cylinder 1 until the two ends of the printing plate 6 are clamped by the first printing clamping system 2 and the second printing clamping system 3 respectively.
[0031] Specifically, a pressure relief valve is provided on the push airbag 42 , and the pressure relief valve is installed on the pressure relief hole through a threaded pair, in order to prevent the pressure in the push airbag 42 from being too high.
[0032] Specifically, the first printing clamping system 2 includes a first rotating frame 21 and a plurality of first squeezing plates 22. The first rotating frame 21 is rotatably installed in the installation cavity 11. The first squeezing plates 22 are installed on the first rotating frame 21. The pushing airbag 42 is transmission-connected to the first rotating frame 21. Each first squeezing plate 22 directly cooperates with the side wall of the installation cavity 11 to clamp the printing plate 6.
[0033] Specifically, the second printing clamping system 3 includes a second rotating frame 31 and a plurality of second squeezing plates 32. The second rotating frame 31 is rotatably installed in the installation cavity 11, and the second squeezing plates 32 are installed on the second rotating frame 31. The second rotating frame 31 is connected to the preload spring through a second force arm 33 installed on the second rotating frame 31. The first printing clamping system 2 is pressed on the second rotating frame 31, and the clamping of the printing plate 6 undergoes three processes. The first process is that one end of the printing plate 6 is clamped by the second rotating frame 31 under the action of the preload spring; the second process is that the printing plate 6 then rotates with the printing cylinder 1 until the first rotating frame 21 clamps the other end of the printing plate 6; the third process is that the first rotating frame 21 presses the second rotating frame 31 under the push of the pushing airbag 42, so that the second rotating frame 31 continuously presses the printing plate 6 to ensure the clamping force.
[0034] Specifically, the reciprocating air pump device 41 includes a reciprocating air cylinder 411 and an arc transition plate 412. The reciprocating air cylinder 411 is installed in the installation cavity 11, and the arc transition plate 412 is installed on the reciprocating air cylinder 411. The arc axis of the arc transition plate 412 coincides with the rotation axis of the printing cylinder 1, ensuring smooth inflation.
[0035] Specifically, a deflation port is provided on the push airbag 42, and a deflation screw plug is installed on the deflation port through a threaded pair, so as to quickly release the high-pressure gas in the push airbag 42 when the printing plate 6 is replaced.
[0036] Specifically, the exhaust tension spring 43 pulls the push airbag 42 to retract when the push airbag 42 is not inflated, so as to facilitate the installation of the printing plate 6.
