Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of printing equipment technology, specifically to an inkjet mechanism for a printing press and its usage method. Background Technology

[0002] A printing press is a machine for printing text and images. A modern printing press generally consists of mechanisms for mounting the printing plate, inking, printing, and paper feeding (including folding). Its working principle is as follows: First, the text and images to be printed are made into a printing plate, which is then mounted on the printing press. Then, ink is applied to the areas of the printing plate containing the text and images, either manually or by the printing press itself. The ink is then directly or indirectly transferred to paper or other printing substrates (such as textiles, metal plates, plastics, leather, wood, glass, and ceramics), thereby reproducing a printed product identical to the printing plate. The invention and development of the printing press has played an important role in the dissemination of human civilization and culture.

[0003] When a printing press is not used for a long time, the ink inside will settle and produce particles. The ink will also become unusable due to uneven settling. The ink at the nozzle will evaporate and solidify upon contact with air. The solidified material and particles will cause the nozzle to become clogged and unable to work properly again, affecting the printing quality. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide an inkjet mechanism for a printing press and its usage method, in order to solve the problem that after a long period of non-use, the ink inside the printing press will precipitate, and the precipitate will produce particulate matter. At this time, the ink will also be unable to be used normally due to uneven precipitation. The ink at the nozzle will evaporate and solidify upon contact with air. The solidified matter and particles will cause the nozzle to become clogged and unable to work normally again, thus affecting the printing quality.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0006] This invention relates to an inkjet mechanism for a printing press, comprising an inkjet cartridge, an ink storage chamber fixedly mounted on the top of the inkjet cartridge, a circular block fixedly mounted on the top of the ink storage chamber, and a transmission cylinder fixedly mounted on the top of the circular block, the transmission cylinder communicating with the circular block, and further comprising:

[0007] The impurity removal mechanism includes a conical groove formed within a circular block. The inner wall of the conical groove has several filter holes, the bottom ends of which communicate with the ink storage cavity. Two impurity discharge strip grooves are formed on the inner wall of the conical groove. Two collection boxes are slidably mounted on the circular block, with their ends extending into the circular block and communicating with the two impurity discharge strip grooves. A transmission box is rotatably mounted on the top inner wall of a transmission box, penetrating the circular block and extending into the ink storage cavity. A rotating shaft is rotatably connected to the transmission box, the circular block, and the ink storage cavity. A centrifugal plate is fixedly sleeved on the rotating shaft, and the centrifugal plate contacts the inner wall of the conical groove.

[0008] Furthermore, an installation plate is fixedly installed inside the ink storage chamber, the bottom end of the rotating shaft is rotatably connected to the installation plate, several stirring plates are fixedly installed on the rotating shaft, a water pump is fixedly installed on the top of the inkjet cartridge, an ink suction tube and an ink outlet tube are fixedly installed on the right side of the water pump, the bottom end of the ink suction tube communicates with the inkjet cartridge, and the top end of the ink outlet tube is connected to the transmission cylinder.

[0009] Furthermore, the top of the inkjet cartridge is provided with an adaptation mechanism, which includes a rectangular grooved block fixedly installed on the top of the inkjet cartridge. The top of the rectangular grooved block is fixedly connected to the ink storage cavity. An L-shaped transmission plate is slidably installed on the ink storage cavity. The top end of the L-shaped transmission plate extends into the ink storage cavity. An adaptation spring is fixedly installed on the back of the ink storage cavity. The end of the adaptation spring is fixedly connected to the L-shaped transmission plate.

[0010] Furthermore, two adaptive springs are fixedly installed at the end of the L-shaped transmission plate, a closing plate is slidably installed inside the rectangular grooved block, the end of the closing plate extends outside the rectangular grooved block, the front ends of the two adaptive springs are fixedly connected to the back of the closing plate, an electric telescopic rod is fixedly installed on the back of the ink storage cavity, and an L-shaped push rod is fixedly installed on the output shaft of the electric telescopic rod.

[0011] Furthermore, the inkjet cartridge has a through groove, and a connecting pipe is fixedly installed at the left end of the rectangular slotted block. The end of the connecting pipe communicates with the through groove, and a one-way valve is installed in the through groove.

[0012] Furthermore, a rinsing mechanism is provided on the left side of the inkjet cartridge. The rinsing mechanism includes a circular hollow box fixedly installed on the left side of the inkjet cartridge. The right side of the circular hollow box extends into the inkjet cartridge. A T-shaped hollow plate is slidably installed inside the circular hollow box. The right side of the T-shaped hollow plate extends out of the circular hollow box. Several drainage holes are provided on the outer wall of the T-shaped hollow plate. A sealing spring is fixedly installed on the inner left wall of the circular hollow box. The right end of the sealing spring is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the T-shaped hollow plate.

[0013] Furthermore, several partitions are fixedly installed inside the inkjet cartridge, several inverted conical nozzles are opened at the bottom of the inkjet cartridge, several high-sensitivity heating resistors are provided on the inner wall of the top of the inkjet cartridge, and the several high-sensitivity heating resistors are perpendicular to the several inverted conical nozzles respectively. A drainage plate is provided on the back of the inkjet cartridge.

[0014] Furthermore, the method for the inkjet mechanism of a printing press includes the following steps:

[0015] S1: Filter ink;

[0016] S2: Thorough filtration;

[0017] S3: Close the rectangular slotted block;

[0018] S4: Rinse the inverted conical nozzle and inkjet cartridge.

[0019] The present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0020] (1) The inkjet mechanism of a printing press of the present invention, when the device is not used for a long time, the water pump is started. The water pump will draw the ink in the inkjet cartridge into the transmission round box through the ink suction pipe and the ink outlet pipe. When the ink enters the transmission round box, it will come into contact with several transmission fan blades. The transmission fan blades will rotate and drive the rotating shaft to rotate. Then the ink will flow into the conical groove on the circular block and pass through several filter holes to enter the ink storage chamber. After the filter holes are filtered, the particles that have been deposited for a long time will remain in the conical groove. The rotating shaft will drive the centrifugal plate to rotate. The centrifugal plate will drive the particles to rotate. Under the action of centrifugal force, the particles will be thrown upward in the conical groove. The particles will fall into the impurity strip groove and then enter the collection box for collection. This reduces the phenomenon of uneven ink output caused by the particles that have been deposited in the ink clogging the inverted conical nozzle due to the device not being used for a long time.

[0021] (2) The inkjet mechanism of the printing press of the present invention drives several stirring plates to rotate simultaneously during the rotation of the rotating shaft. The stirring plates stir the ink in the ink storage chamber to make the ink more uniform and prevent the ink from settling during the printing process, resulting in unclear or overly thick characters. During the rotation of the stirring plates, they will come into contact with the L-shaped transmission plate. The L-shaped transmission plate will move away from the ink storage chamber under the push of the stirring plates. The L-shaped transmission plate will drive the adaptation spring II to move. The adaptation spring II will pull the closing plate away from the groove in the rectangular strip block, so that the ink storage chamber is connected to the inkjet cartridge. The filtered ink will enter the inkjet cartridge from the ink storage chamber again for circulation filtration, thereby ensuring that the ink in the inkjet cartridge and the ink storage chamber does not contain impurities and ensuring the quality of the printed characters.

[0022] (3) The inkjet mechanism of a printing press of the present invention, after the ink in the inkjet cartridge and the ink storage chamber are stirred and filtered, the electric telescopic rod is started. The electric telescopic rod will drive the L-shaped push rod to move towards the ink storage chamber. The L-shaped push rod will contact the closing plate and push the closing plate to close the groove in the rectangular groove block. During the continuous operation of the water pump, the water pump will pump all the ink in the connecting pipe and the inkjet cartridge into the ink storage chamber to ensure that there is no ink in the inkjet cartridge, thereby providing conditions for cleaning the inverted conical nozzle.

[0023] (4) The inkjet mechanism of a printing press of the present invention connects a circular hollow box to a rinsing liquid. After the rinsing liquid enters the circular hollow box, it pushes the T-shaped hollow plate to move closer to the inkjet cartridge. At this time, the sealing spring is stretched and deformed. When the drain hole on the T-shaped hollow plate leaves the circular hollow box, the rinsing liquid will enter the inkjet cartridge through the drain hole. As more and more rinsing liquid enters the inkjet cartridge, the pressure of the rinsing liquid will increase. In addition, the density of the rinsing liquid is less than that of the ink. The rinsing liquid will gradually flow out from several inverted conical nozzles, thereby soaking and dissolving the blockages in the inkjet cartridge and the inverted conical nozzles. Since a one-way valve is provided in the through groove, the rinsing liquid will not enter the ink storage chamber. After the inkjet cartridge and the inverted conical nozzles are soaked and rinsed, the drain plate is opened to drain the rinsing liquid, thereby ensuring the smooth ink output of the inverted conical nozzles and further ensuring the printing quality of the inverted conical nozzles.

[0024] Of course, any product implementing this invention does not necessarily need to achieve all of the advantages described above at the same time. Attached Figure Description

[0043] like Figure 5 As shown, two adaptive springs 604 are fixedly installed at the end of the L-shaped transmission plate 602. A closing plate 605 is slidably installed inside the rectangular grooved block 601. The end of the closing plate 605 extends outside the rectangular grooved block 601.

[0044] The L-shaped transmission plate 602 will drive the second adaptation spring 604 to move. The second adaptation spring 604 will pull the closing plate 605 away from the groove in the rectangular grooved block 601, so that the ink storage chamber 2 is connected to the inkjet cartridge 1. The filtered ink will enter the inkjet cartridge 1 from the ink storage chamber 2 again for circulation filtration, thereby ensuring that the ink in the inkjet cartridge 1 and the ink storage chamber 2 does not contain impurities and ensuring the quality of printed fonts.
