Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of printing equipment, and particularly relates to a printing equipment and working method for outer packaging boxes. Background Art
[0002] Outer packaging printing equipment is an indispensable key component in modern packaging industry. It is mainly used for printing information such as patterns, texts, and barcodes on outer packaging materials, ensuring accurate transmission of product information to consumers while enhancing the aesthetics and brand recognition of products. These equipment usually include various types such as flexographic printers, offset printers, screen printers, and digital printers. Among them, flexographic printing is widely used in the field of flexible packaging due to its environmental protection characteristics and high printing speed. Offset printers are suitable for high-quality image printing on rigid packaging such as cartons and cardboard boxes. Screen printers are particularly effective for products that require thick ink layers or special effects. Digital printers are increasingly favored in the market environment of small batches and multiple varieties due to their high flexibility and personalized customization capabilities. These equipment generally adopt computer control systems to achieve precise control in the automated production process, which can not only improve production efficiency but also ensure stable and reliable printing quality. In addition, with the progress of technology, modern printing equipment also has the ability of in-line production, and can be seamlessly connected with post-processing processes such as film laminating, hot stamping, and die cutting to form a complete production line to meet diverse needs. Generally speaking, outer packaging printing equipment is a high-tech product that combines multiple fields such as mechanical engineering, electronic technology, and materials science, and its development level directly affects the overall competitiveness of the packaging industry.
[0003] In the prior art, the outer packaging is usually in the form of cardboard before printing. It is transported to the lower side of the printer through a conveying structure. When the printer presses down to contact the surface of the outer packaging material, the pattern is printed on the surface of the outer packaging material. When the outer packaging material is transported to the lower side of the printer, since it is transported by conveying rollers, there is often a situation where the conveying rollers cannot contact the outer packaging material. For example, Chinese Patent Application No. CN202311142622.3, publication date is December 5, 2023, which discloses a printing equipment and usage method for producing outer packaging boxes, including a processing table, a printing mechanism for printing on the packaging box is arranged on the processing table, a bearing mechanism for bearing the packaging box is arranged at the bottom of the printing mechanism, and a conveying mechanism for feeding the packaging box is arranged on one side of the bearing mechanism; by setting the bearing mechanism, the flip plate that can be flipped on the bearing mechanism realizes the flipping of the packaging box, so that the ink at the ink accumulation part on the packaging box can drip into the blanking box, avoiding the accumulated ink from moving along the surface of the packaging box and causing dirt on the printing surface, and at the same time realizing the collection of ink; using the drying mechanism to perform drying operation on the flipped packaging box, improving the drying efficiency of the ink on the surface of the packaging box, facilitating the subsequent processing operation of the packaging box, and improving the processing efficiency of the packaging box.
[0004] If the cardboard on the input conveyor roller is in an uneven state, it is easy to cause the accumulation of outer packaging materials inside the equipment, resulting in jamming. In addition, in order to ensure the reliability of the items conveyed on the conveyor belt, a conveyor belt with a width not much different from that of the conveyor belt needs to be set to ensure that the cardboard moves horizontally into the printing mechanism. This is not convenient for conveying cardboard of different sizes. In addition, during the conveying process of the cardboard by the conveyor roller, due to the vibration of the conveyor belt, the upper end surface of the cardboard is prone to unevenness, which affects the printing effect of the subsequent printing mechanism. In addition, during the conveying process of the conveyor belt, the cardboard is also easily affected by external dust, resulting in a poor printing effect of the subsequent printing mechanism. Summary of the Invention

[0014] With the above settings, by fixing the second cylinder of the lifting component on the conveying rack, the second cylinder works to drive the placement rack to move upward, and the first slider moves on the first sliding rod to ensure the reliability of the placement rack during the moving process.
[0015] Furthermore, the adjusting component further includes a third cylinder, a second motor, a fixing plate, and a screw rod. There are two fixing plates, and both of the two fixing plates are fixedly connected to the surface of the track rack. The adjusting rack is slidably connected within the track rack.

[0016] With the above settings, the third cylinder is provided to realize the up and down movement of the adjusting rack, and the second motor drives the screw rod to rotate so that the adjusting block and the screw rod form a screw-nut structure to realize the horizontal movement of the adjusting rack.
[0017] Furthermore, the control component includes second sliding rods, a top plate, a fourth cylinder, and second sliders. There are more than two second sliding rods and second sliders. More than two second sliding rods are respectively fixedly connected to the upper ends of the two track racks.

[0025] A working method of a printing device for an outer packaging box includes the following steps:
[0026] S1. First, place the outer packaging cardboard to be printed in the placement rack. Through the operation of two first air cylinders, drive the clamping plates connected to the extending ends of the first air cylinders to clamp the stacked outer packaging cardboard to be printed, so that both sides of the outer packaging cardboard to be printed are kept flat.
[0027] S2. Control the lifting assembly to operate. The lifting assembly drives the stacked outer packaging cardboard to be printed to move upward and makes the uppermost outer packaging cardboard to be printed contact the conveying rollers.
[0028] S3. Control the conveying assembly to operate. The output end of the first motor in the conveying assembly drives one of the conveying shafts to rotate. The two conveying shafts rotate simultaneously through a meshing transmission structure. The two conveying shafts respectively drive two or more conveying rollers to rotate. The two or more conveying rollers contact the surface of the outer packaging cardboard to be printed and move the outer packaging cardboard to be printed to the surface of the connecting plate.
[0029] S4. Control two groups of adjusting assemblies to operate. The third air cylinder in the adjusting assembly drives the adjusting block connected to the extending end of the third air cylinder to move downward. The adjusting block drives the push plate to move downward, so that the lower surface of the push plate contacts the outer packaging cardboard to be printed. Control the second motor to operate. The output end of the second motor drives the screw rod to rotate. When the screw rod rotates, it drives the adjusting frame to slide within the track frame. The adjusting frame indirectly drives the push plate to move during movement. The push plate drives the outer packaging cardboard to be printed to slide on the surface of the connecting plate and moves the outer packaging cardboard to be printed to the lower side of the printer body.
[0030] S5. The adjusting assembly resets, and the control assembly operates. The fourth air cylinder in the control assembly drives the printer body connected to the extending end of the fourth air cylinder to move downward. The printer body contacts the surface of the outer packaging cardboard to be printed and prints on the surface of the outer packaging cardboard to be printed.
[0031] S6. During printing, the adjustment assembly drives the next outer packaging material to move to one side of the printer body. After the current printing is completed, the adjustment assembly drives the unprinted outer packaging material to push out the printed outer packaging material.
[0032] In the above method, the cardboard to be printed is placed on the placement rack, and then the distance between the clamping blocks is adjusted by adjusting the distance between the clamping plates on both sides of the placement rack according to the width of different cardboards, so as to clamp different clamping plates. Then, the lifting assembly moves the cardboard clamped by the clamping blocks to the conveying assembly. Then, the adjusting block in the adjustment assembly moves up and down to drive the push plate to abut against the upper end surface of the cardboard to be printed on the conveying assembly. Then, the push plate conveys the cardboard to be printed to the printing plate along the length direction of the connecting plate. In this way, since the cardboard to be printed is ensured to be in a flat state at the upper end surface under the pressing action of the push plate during the process of being conveyed to the printing plate, and at the same time, the push plate can prevent the influence of the external environment during the process of being conveyed to the printing plate, thus ensuring the printing effect. At the same time, since the push plate is detachably arranged and the clamping blocks can be adjusted according to the width of the cardboard, it can be realized by replacing the push plate and adjusting the distance between the clamping blocks according to the size of different cardboards to be printed, which is convenient for printing different materials to be printed and has high printing efficiency.

[0047] Embodiment 1.
[0048] Please refer to Figures 1-9 , Figure 11 and Figure 12 , the present invention provides the following technical solutions:
[0049] A printing device for outer packaging boxes, comprising:
[0050] A first bracket 1, and two U-shaped brackets 101 are fixedly connected to the upper end of the first bracket 1;
[0051] A placing rack 2, and the placing rack 2 is arranged on the upper side of the first bracket 1 through two sets of lifting components;
[0052] A conveyor rack 3, and the conveyor rack 3 is fixedly connected to the upper surfaces of the two U-shaped brackets 101;
[0053] A conveying component, and the conveying component is arranged in the conveyor rack 3;
[0054] A second bracket 4, and the second bracket 4 is fixedly connected to one side of the surface of the first bracket 1. The upper end of the second bracket 4 is fixedly connected with a printing plate 402, and two side brackets 401 are fixedly connected to both sides of the surface of the printing plate 402;
[0055] A push plate 503, which is disposed on one side of the conveying frame 3 through two sets of adjustment components; and
[0056] The printer body 704 is disposed on the upper side of the printing plate 402 through a control component.
[0057] In a specific embodiment of the present invention, two U-shaped frames 101 are fixedly connected to the upper end of the first bracket 1. The U-shaped frame 101 serves to connect the lifting assembly. The lifting assembly is used to drive the placement rack 2 to rise and fall. The placement rack 2 is used to place stacked outer packaging materials. The materials are mostly outer packaging paperboards to be printed. When loading, the lifting assembly drives the outer packaging materials to move up through the placement rack 2. The outer packaging materials located on the uppermost side contact the conveying assembly. The conveying assembly conveys the stacked outer packaging materials one by one to the surface of the connecting plate 6. In this process, the outer packaging materials are gradually conveyed and the lifting assembly continuously drives the placement rack 2 to move up. The outer packaging material on the top is always in contact with the conveying assembly. The second bracket 4 supports the printing plate 402. The side brackets 401 installed on both sides of the printing plate 402 install the track frame 5. This solution uses a lifting assembly to drive the placement frame 2 to cooperate with the conveying assembly to continuously convey the unprinted outer packaging material. Compared with the traditional solution that uses multiple rollers to convey the outer packaging materials one by one, the use of conveying rollers is reduced, and the problem that the conveying rollers cannot contact the outer packaging materials is effectively avoided. The push plate 503 is controlled by two groups of adjustment groups. The push plate 503 drives the outer packaging material located on the upper surface of the connecting plate 6 to move to the lower side of the printing assembly for printing one by one.

The extending ends of the two first cylinders 203 both movably penetrate the placement rack 2. The extending ends of the two first cylinders 203 are both fixedly connected with a clamping plate 202. The clamping plate 202 is located inside the placement rack 2 and moves along the width direction of the placement rack inside the placement rack 2. Since the clamping plate 202 is fixed inside the placement rack 2, when the placement rack 2 moves up and down under the action of the lifting assembly, the clamping plate 202 can move together.
[0070] In this embodiment, when the first cylinder 203 operates, it drives the clamping plate 202 to move. The two clamping plates 202 cooperate to clamp the stacked outer packaging materials, so that both sides of the outer packaging materials are kept flat. When transporting the outer packaging materials, the two clamping plates 202 do not contact the surface of the outer packaging materials. Rubber plates are fixedly connected to the mutually approaching surfaces of the two clamping plates 202. By providing the rubber plates, when the two clamping plates 202 clamp the outer packaging materials, the surface of the outer packaging materials is prevented from being damaged.
[0071] Working principle and usage process of the present invention: When this device is in use, first place the outer packaging cardboard to be printed in the placement rack 2. Through the operation of two first cylinders 203, drive the clamping plates 202 connected to the extending ends of the first cylinders 203 to clamp the stacked cardboard, keeping both sides of the cardboard flat; control the lifting assembly to operate. The lifting assembly drives the stacked outer packaging cardboard to move upward, and makes the uppermost outer packaging material contact the conveying rollers 302; control the conveying assembly to operate. The output end of the first motor 305 in the conveying assembly drives one of the conveying shafts 303 to rotate. The two conveying shafts 303 rotate simultaneously through a meshing transmission structure. The two conveying shafts 303 respectively drive a plurality of conveying rollers 302 to rotate. The plurality of conveying rollers 302 contact the surface of the outer packaging material, moving the outer packaging material to the surface of the connecting plate 6; control the two groups of adjusting assemblies to operate. The third cylinder 504 in the adjusting assembly drives the adjusting block 502 connected to its extending end to move downward. The adjusting block 502 drives the pushing plate 503 to move downward, making the lower surface of the pushing plate 503 contact the outer packaging material. Control the second motor 505 to operate. The output end of the second motor 505 drives the screw rod 507 to rotate. When the screw rod 507 rotates, it drives the adjusting frame 501 to slide in the track frame 5. The adjusting frame 501 indirectly drives the pushing plate 503 to move during movement. The pushing plate 503 drives the outer packaging material to slide on the surface of the connecting plate 6, moving the outer packaging material to the lower side of the printer main body 704; control the control assembly to operate. The fourth cylinder 702 in the control assembly drives the printer main body 704 connected to its extending end to move downward. The printer main body 704 contacts the surface of the outer packaging material and prints on the surface of the outer packaging material; during printing, the adjusting assembly resets and drives the next outer packaging material to move to one side of the printer main body 704. When this printing is completed, the adjusting assembly drives the unprinted outer packaging material to push out the already printed outer packaging material from one side of the already printed outer packaging material, and outputs the device; by using this device, the lifting assembly drives the placement rack 2 to cooperate with the conveying assembly to continuously convey the unprinted outer packaging materials. Compared with the traditional solution of using multiple rollers to convey the outer packaging materials one by one, the use of conveying rollers is reduced, effectively avoiding the problem that the conveying rollers cannot contact the outer packaging materials.
[0072] Embodiment 2.
[0073] As Figure 10 shown, a working method of a printing device for outer packaging boxes includes the following steps:
[0074] S1. First, place the outer packaging cardboard to be printed in the placement rack 2. Through the operation of two first cylinders 203, drive the clamping plates 202 connected to the extending ends of the first cylinders 203 to clamp the stacked outer packaging cardboard to be printed, keeping both sides of the outer packaging cardboard to be printed flat;
[0075] S2. Control the lifting assembly to operate. The lifting assembly drives the stacked outer packaging cardboard to be printed to move upward, and makes the uppermost outer packaging cardboard to be printed contact the conveying roller 302; and the upper end surface of the toothed belt 306 is flush with the upper end surface of the connecting plate 6.
[0076] S3. Control the conveying assembly to operate. The output end of the first motor 305 in the conveying assembly drives one of the conveying shafts 303 to rotate. The two conveying shafts 303 rotate simultaneously through the meshing transmission structure. The two conveying shafts 303 respectively drive more than two conveying rollers 302 to rotate. The more than two conveying rollers 302 contact the surface of the outer packaging cardboard to be printed, and move the outer packaging cardboard to be printed to the surface of the connecting plate 6.
[0077] S4. Control the two groups of adjusting assemblies to operate. The third cylinder 504 in the adjusting assembly drives the adjusting block 502 connected to the extending end of the third cylinder 504 to move downward. The adjusting block 502 drives the push plate 503 to move downward, so that the lower surface of the push plate 503 contacts the outer packaging cardboard to be printed. Control the second motor 505 to operate. The output end of the second motor 505 drives the screw rod 507 to rotate. When the screw rod 507 rotates, it drives the adjusting frame to slide in the track frame 5. The adjusting frame 501 indirectly drives the push plate to move during movement. The push plate drives the outer packaging cardboard to be printed to slide on the surface of the connecting plate, so that the outer packaging cardboard to be printed moves to the lower side of the printer body.
[0078] S5. The adjusting assembly resets, and the control assembly operates. The fourth cylinder 702 in the control assembly drives the printer body connected to the extending end of the fourth cylinder 702 to move downward. The printer body 704 contacts the surface of the outer packaging cardboard to be printed, and prints on the surface of the outer packaging cardboard to be printed.
[0079] S6. During printing, the adjusting assembly drives the next outer packaging material to move to one side of the printer body 704. When the printing of this time is completed, the adjusting assembly drives the unprinted outer packaging material to push out the printed outer packaging material.
