Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a die-cutting device, in particular to a die-cutting proofing machine with a multi-tool head. Background Art

[0002] The die-cutting proofing machine is a supplement to the die-cutting machine. It is a special equipment mainly used for proofing and finalizing the large-scale die-cutting and small-scale cutting without die cutting. The die-cutting proofing machine can perform die-cutting, proofing and small-scale production without die cutting for insulating materials, optoelectronic materials, shielding materials and viscose products in the electronics industry.

[0003] The die-cut products produced by the die-cutting proofing machine do not turn black, and its performance is higher than that of traditional laser machines. It can also cut reflective materials such as protective films. In addition, the die-cutting proofing machine is clean, environmentally friendly and pollution-free, saving die-cutting costs and improving proofing efficiency, making the die-cutting proofing machine develop vigorously in the precision die-cutting industry, and the number of manufacturers using die-cutting proofing machines for die-cutting proofing has also increased significantly.

[0004] However, in the actual production process, the die-cutting proofing machine has a slow processing speed, so it requires multiple or even dozens of machines to meet the needs of large-scale production. In the production process, the die-cutting proofing machine can only cut a single product at a time, and the loading and unloading process requires the cooperation of workers. The existence of these two drawbacks requires a lot of financial and human resources to meet the needs of large-scale production of die-cutting proofing machines, which is not economically effective and will lead to a waste of human resources.

[0005] Chinese patent CN201810479984.4 discloses a three-in-one platemaking machine for CTS, CTP and die-cutting proofing, which uses a conveyor table to transport the plate, solving the problem of loading and unloading to a certain extent. However, since only a single product can be processed at a time, when die-cutting proofing for small-volume / small-area products, a large amount of vacancy will still appear in the processing area, resulting in low overall efficiency.

[0006] Therefore, it is necessary to design a new die-cutting proofing machine to improve the efficiency of die-cutting proofing. Summary of the invention

[0007] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a die-cutting proofing machine with a multi-tool head in order to solve at least one of the above problems, so as to solve the problem in the prior art that a single die-cutting can only process a single product, resulting in a high vacancy rate and low efficiency in the processing area, thereby realizing the simultaneous processing of multiple products.

[0008] The purpose of the present invention is achieved through the following technical solutions:

[0014] At least two sliding bases are slidably arranged in the slideway of the sliding beam, and distance sensors are arranged on opposite sides of the sliding bases, and the distance sensors are electrically connected to the control system;

[0015] The control system instructs each sliding base to slide on the sliding beam so that the cutting tool heads installed on each sliding base can perform die cutting at the same time.

[0016] Preferably, one or more blocks are detachably installed in the slideway of the sliding beam, so that the slideway forms a multi-section structure; the number of the sliding bases is equal to the number of slideway sections formed, and a sliding base is slidably arranged in each slideway section.

[0017] Preferably, one or more baffles are detachably mounted on the writing panel corresponding to the baffles, so that the writing panel forms a plurality of die-cutting channels; each sliding base works in the corresponding die-cutting channel.

[0018] Preferably, the driving member and the distance sensor are connected to the control system via a drag chain.

[0019] Preferably, the driving member is a servo motor or a cylinder.

[0020] Preferably, a positioning block is fixed at the end of the sliding beam, and the positioning block is arranged just above the boundary of the writing panel; a distance sensor is provided on the positioning block, and the distance sensor is arranged toward the sliding base.

For die-cutting of a single product, the control system can divide it into multiple processing areas according to the input drawing and allocate multiple cutting tool heads to cut simultaneously; for die-cutting of multiple products at the same time, the control system locates the materials placed in each area according to the set sensors, and then controls each cutting tool head to perform die-cutting separately.

[0027] Distance sensors are set on the facing surfaces of the sliding base to provide real-time feedback on the distance between the cutting tool heads, and avoid collisions through reasonable deployment of the control system. Corresponding blocks and baffles can also be installed as needed to divide the entire processing area into multiple processing areas for separate processing. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0034] The present invention is described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0035] like Figure 1As shown, the existing die-cutting proofing machine is composed of a machine platform, a writing panel 5, a sliding beam 4, a sliding base 2, a cutting tool head 1 and a control panel 6. The writing panel 5 is arranged on the upper surface of the machine platform, and the sliding beam 4 is slidably arranged in the slide rail on the upper surface of the machine platform, and the sliding beam 4 is arranged across the writing panel 5 for movement in the x-axis direction; the sliding base 2 is slidably arranged on the sliding beam 4 for movement in the y-axis direction; the cutting tool head 1 is further arranged on the sliding base 2, and the cutting tool head 1 can move along the z-axis direction. There is also a control panel 6 on the machine platform for controlling the operation of the die-cutting proofing machine.

[0036] The die-cutting proofing machine can only work on a single product during die-cutting, and the next material can be die-cut only after the die-cutting of the previous material is completed, resulting in low overall efficiency.

[0037] Example 1

[0038] A die-cutting proofing machine with multiple tool heads, such as Figure 2-5 As shown, it includes a machine platform, a writing panel 5, a sliding beam 4, a sliding base 2, a cutting tool head 1 and a control system;

[0039] The top surface of the machine is provided with a writing panel 5 and a slide rail, the slide rail is provided on the side of the writing panel 5, the slide beam 4 is slidably provided in the slide rail, and is driven to slide by a driving member;

[0040] The sliding beam 4 is arranged across the writing panel 5, a sliding rail is arranged on the wall surface of the sliding beam 4, and the sliding base 2 is slidably arranged in the sliding rail and driven to slide by a driving member;

[0041] The sliding base 2 is provided with a slide rail, the cutting tool head 1 is arranged toward the writing panel 5, and the cutting tool head 1 is slidably arranged in the slide rail and driven to slide by a driving member;

[0042] The control system is electrically connected to the driving element;

[0043] At least two sliding bases 2 are slidably arranged in the slideway of the sliding beam 4, and distance sensors are arranged on the opposite sides of the sliding bases 2, and the distance sensors are electrically connected to the control system;

[0044] The control system instructs each sliding base 2 to slide on the sliding beam 4 so that the cutting tool heads 1 installed on each sliding base 2 can perform die cutting at the same time.

[0045] More specifically, in this embodiment:

[0046] The die-cutting proofing machine described in this embodiment is an improvement on the existing die-cutting proofing machine. Specifically, the die-cutting proofing machine of this embodiment is provided with a plurality of sliding bases 2 which can slide along the slide rails at intervals on the sliding beam 4. Figure 2 As shown in , a plurality of cutting tool heads 1 are correspondingly provided, and the cutting tool heads 1 can cooperate with each other to perform die-cutting, or can perform die-cutting independently.

[0047] In addition, a distance sensor is installed on the side of the adjacent sliding bases 2 facing each other, which can monitor the distance between the adjacent sliding bases 2 in real time. The distance sensor is electrically connected to the control system, and the cooperation between the control system and the distance sensor can avoid mutual collision during operation. Furthermore, if multiple products are die-cut independently, corresponding blocks can be set at the positions corresponding to the boundaries of the working areas on the sliding beam 4, and a separating baffle can be added above the writing panel 5 to divide the work areas into multiple areas; these blocks and baffles are all detachable assemblies, and the number and spacing can be adjusted to meet the needs of die-cutting of different sizes, or they can be removed for die-cutting of large items.

[0048] The slide rail on the sliding beam 4 in this embodiment is an integrated structure. Figure 2 , Figure 3 The sliding base 2 can slide on the slide rail to cross the writing panel 5. If a multi-section slide rail is required, a block can be used to snap into place at a specified position; Figure 5 The structure shown is directly divided into a multi-section structure separated from each other, and each cutting tool head 1 is independently installed in its own slide rail to ensure that they do not affect or interfere with each other. This method has more restrictions on the die-cutting size and is only suitable for die-cutting of multiple narrow products.

[0049] The driving parts used to drive the slide in the die-cutting proofing machine can be selected from servo motors or cylinders, and both are controlled to start and stop by the control system. All circuit cables in the die-cutting proofing machine are connected by drag chains.

[0050] A positioning block 3 is fixedly arranged at the end position of the sliding beam 4. The positioning block 3 is precisely arranged on the side of the writing panel 5 close to the writing panel 5, and a distance sensor is installed on the surface, which can be used as the distance zero point to locate the position of the sliding base 2 and the cutting tool head 1 above the writing panel 5. In conjunction with the distance sensors arranged on each sliding base 2, a positioning coordinate network parallel to the writing panel 5 can be formed. The control system can monitor the relative position of each cutting tool head 1 and the absolute position in the coordinate network in real time, so as to perform die cutting more accurately and avoid inaccurate positioning and damage caused by collision of each cutting tool head 1. The distance sensor can select the conventional ultrasonic, laser or infrared distance sensor.

[0051] The cutting tool head 1 can use a cutting knife, a cutting pen or a creasing tool according to the die-cutting object and the die-cutting requirements.

[0052] The machine platform of this embodiment is also provided with a control panel 6, on which buttons for controlling the die-cutting proofing machine are integrated. The control panel 6 is electrically connected to the control system as one of the inputs of the control system. The machine platform is also provided with an interface for connecting to a computer, such as Figure 4 , including but not limited to USB interface 7, RS-232C interface 8, etc., for exchanging data with a computer, the control system can be externally controlled; the machine is also provided with a power interface 9 for connecting to a power line, a power switch 10 for controlling the opening and closing of the entire die-cutting proofing machine, an adsorption switch 11 for controlling the adsorption material (electrostatic adsorption or vacuum adsorption can be used so that the material can be tightly attached to the writing panel 5 without translation during die-cutting), and an indicator light 12 for indicating the working status of the die-cutting proofing machine.

[0053] By adopting this device, the idle space of the existing die-cutting proofing machine during die-cutting can be effectively utilized, which reduces time waste, increases the number of products produced, and effectively improves production efficiency. In addition, the device can also be used in conjunction with roller conveyors to achieve continuous loading and unloading.

[0054] The above description of the embodiments is to facilitate the understanding and use of the invention by those skilled in the art. It is obvious that those skilled in the art can easily make various modifications to these embodiments and apply the general principles described herein to other embodiments without creative work. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments, and improvements and modifications made by those skilled in the art based on the disclosure of the present invention without departing from the scope of the present invention should be within the scope of protection of the present invention.
