Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of printing and embossing, and in particular to a production process and equipment for printing, positioning and embossing of soft materials. Background Art

[0002] Soft materials generally refer to materials that are flexible and malleable, such as plastic, foam, cloth, and paper. Decorative paper, for example, is widely used because it is lightweight, easy to cut and process, and comes in a wide variety of colors and patterns, adding visual beauty to any space. Soft material printing and positioning embossing involves first printing on soft materials like decorative paper, then applying a pattern or texture to specific areas through an embossing process. This processing method allows for precise pattern positioning, resulting in a complementary printing and embossing effect, enhancing the visual depth and tactile quality of the decorative paper.

[0003] At present, embossing generally uses a mold to heat press the material. The hot pressing method is generally to continuously heat the embossing mold and emboss the material through the heated mold. However, continuous heating requires relatively high control of the heater and temperature detection of the mold. If there is no precise control, it may cause the mold frame to overheat, which may affect the service life of the mold and the embossing effect. In addition, continuous heating will consume relatively high energy.

[0004] In view of this, we propose the production process and equipment for printing positioning embossing of soft materials. Summary of the Invention

[0012] Further, the driving gear is fixedly installed with a crank on the side away from the embossing table, the crank is rotatably installed with a connecting rod on the end away from the driving gear, the connecting rod is rotatably installed with a side rod on the end away from the crank, and the side rod is fixedly installed with a sliding bracket on the end away from the connecting rod.

[0033] Specifically, the driving mechanism comprises a driven gear 18 through which the conveying roller 5 passes one end of the embossing table 1, the surface of the driven gear 18 is engaged with a driving gear 14, one side of the driving gear 14 is rotatably installed on one side of the embossing table 1, the driving gear 14 is fixedly installed with a crank 13 away from one side of the embossing table 1, the crank 13 is rotatably installed with a connecting rod 12 away from one end of the driving gear 14, the connecting rod 12 is rotatably installed with a side rod 11 away from one end of the crank 13, and the side rod 11 is fixedly installed with a sliding frame 10 away from one end of the connecting rod 12;

[0034] Among them, the side rod 11, the connecting rod 12 and the crank 13 all adopt a length-adjustable structure, that is, the lengths of the three can be adjusted during installation to realize smooth linkage process. Correspondingly, the installation height of the infrared heater 4 also adopts an adjustable structure, which can be designed through a multi-thread hole structure, so that when there is an installation error after the adjustment of the side rod 11, the connecting rod 12 and the crank 13, that is, when the infrared heater 4 cannot contact the mold head 19 moving up and down, the contact between the infrared heater 4 and the mold head 19 can be realized by adjusting the height of the infrared heater 4.

[0035] Further, the inner cavity side wall of the support 2 is provided with a sliding groove 15, the inner cavity side wall of the sliding groove 15 is slidably installed on the surface of the sliding frame 10, the side of the sliding frame 10 away from the sliding groove 15 is also rotatably installed on one end of the fixed rod 7 away from the mold frame 3, the surface of the fixed rod 7 is fixedly installed with a guide gear 16, the inner cavity side wall of the support 2 is also fixedly installed with a rack 17 corresponding to the guide gear 16, the top of the support 2 is fixedly installed with a gas cylinder 9, the bottom of the gas cylinder 9 is movably passed through the support 2 and extends into the interior of the support 2, and the bottom of the gas cylinder 9 is fixedly installed on the top of the sliding frame 10, the surface of the fixed rod 7 is fixedly installed with a magnetic block 21, and the side of the sliding frame 10 close to the fixed rod 7 is also fixedly installed with two groups of L-shaped magnetic blocks 22, and the inner cavity side walls of the two groups of L-shaped magnetic blocks 22 have opposite magnetic poles and can magnetically attract the two sides of the magnetic block 21 respectively.

[0036] Specifically, when embossing is required, the heating chamber 20 of the infrared heater 4 can be used to heat the die head 19 at the bottom of the die frame 3. After heating is completed, the cylinder 9 can be used to output, driving the slide frame 10 in the slide groove 15 to move downward, thereby driving the fixed rod 7 fixedly installed on one side to move in the guide groove 8, and when the guide gear 16 on the fixed rod 7 moves to engage with the rack 17, the rack 17 can be used to rotate the guide gear 16, thereby driving the fixed rod 7, the die frame 3 and the die head 19 to flip downward 180°, and then the cylinder 9 is used to continuously output. At this time, the rack 17 is separated from the guide gear 16, so that the die head 3 continues to descend until the embossing of the material is completed. After completion, the cylinder 9 can be retracted to make the slide frame 10 rise. Similarly, during the rising process of the slide frame 10, the rack 17 is used to retract the cylinder 9.
