[0019] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments.

[0020] like Figure 1-5 As shown, a UV printing device proposed by the present invention includes four printing boxes, a printing piece transfer box 2 and a UV box 4; A printing box is fixed on each of the four side walls of the upper half of the printed transfer box 2. The printing box on the left side of the printed transfer box is a printed input box 1, and the other three are printed transfer boxes 3. A UV box 4 is installed on the top of the printed transfer box 2. A printed output box 5 is fixed on the right side wall of the lower half of the printed transfer box 2. A lifting box is provided at the bottom of the printed transfer box 2. Four printing boxes are arranged around the four side walls of the printed material transfer box 2. The printed material is put into the conveyor belt 7 from the input end of the printed material input box 1, and is transferred to each other through the transfer conveyor belt 9 in the printed material transfer box 2 to realize multi-layer printing. Each time the printed material is transferred to the printed material transfer box 2, curing is performed once.

[0021] The lower half of the four printing boxes are all provided with a conveyor belt 7, and the top is equipped with an ink printing device 6. Each printing box is provided with a printed part correction component. The printed part transfer box 2 is provided with a transfer conveyor belt 9, and the transfer conveyor belt 9 is installed on a U-shaped frame 91. The bottom of the U-shaped frame 91 is installed on a servo disc motor 92, and the bottom of the servo disc motor 92 is installed on the lifting component in the lifting box. The shaped frame 91 is rotated to achieve docking, but the lifting can prevent the conveyor belt 7 from being bumped, and the gap can be small after docking. It can also move down to dock and output the output conveyor belt 51.

[0022] The conveyor belts 7 in the four printing boxes are in the same horizontal plane, the distance between two conveyor belts 7 in the same straight line is equal, the length of the transfer conveyor belt 9 is 1-2cm less than the distance between the two conveyor belts 7 in the same straight line, and the transfer conveyor belt 9 can move downward to dock with the output conveyor belt 51 in the printed output box 5, so as to facilitate docking without friction.

[0023] The top of the printed material transfer box 2 is open, and the bottom of the UV box 4 is open. The top of the printed material transfer box 2 is attached to the bottom of the UV box 4 and is detachably sealed. The UV box 4 is provided with a plurality of ultraviolet lamps 41 and the ultraviolet lamps 41 irradiate downward. Curing is more convenient, and it is also convenient to disassemble the UV box 4 to clean the UV box 4 and repair the ultraviolet lamps 41.

[0024] A limiting rod 61 is movably inserted into each of the four corners of the ink printing device 6, and a pull block is provided at the top center of the ink printing device 6. A screw rod is spirally inserted in the pull block, and the screw rod is connected to the rotating shaft of a servo motor 62. The servo motor 62 is fixed on the top wall of the printing box.

[0025] The screw rod is fixed at the top position with a bearing so that the device has a pulling force. If the screw rod cannot pull the ink printing device 6, the limit rod 61 can be replaced with a screw rod, and the servo motor is used to drive the four corners.

[0026] The four conveyor belts 7 in the printing box and the output conveyor belt 51 in the print output box 5 are all provided with a support plate 71 on the lower surface of the upper belt, and the support plate 71 is a stainless steel plate and the two sides of the support plate are fixed on the two side walls inside the printing box. When printing, the conveyor belt will not move downward and deform, so that the printing is smooth.

[0027] The print correction assembly on the print transfer box 3 includes correction blocks on both sides and positioning blocks at the ends. The correction blocks on both sides are mounted on the shafts of two side cylinders 301, and the side cylinders 301 are fixedly mounted on the side walls of the print box. The positioning blocks are mounted on the shafts of two end cylinders 302, and the end cylinders 302 are fixed on the end walls of the print box. The correction blocks and positioning blocks are both placed on the edge of the upper surface of the conveyor belt 7. The print correction assembly on the print input box 3 includes correction blocks on both sides and a lifting and positioning structure. The correction blocks on the print input box 3 are installed in the same way as the correction blocks on the print transfer box 3. The lifting and positioning structure includes a downward cylinder 8, a horizontal pushing cylinder 81 and a positioning plate. The downward cylinder 8 is fixed on the right side wall of the ink printing device 7. The downward cylinder 8 is arranged downward and a horizontally placed horizontal pushing cylinder 81 is fixedly installed on the cylinder shaft of the downward cylinder 8. The cylinder shaft of the horizontal pushing cylinder 81 faces the input end of the print input box 3, and a positioning plate is fixed on the cylinder shaft of the horizontal pushing cylinder 81.

[0028] When the printed workpiece hits the positioning block or positioning plate, the correction block is activated to correct the printed workpiece to the center, and then printing is carried out.

[0029] Four synchronous lifting cylinders 93 are provided in the lifting box, and the bottom of the servo disc motor 92 is fixed on the cylinder shaft ends of the four synchronous lifting cylinders 93. When the transfer conveyor belt 9 is lifted to the highest point, the bottom of the U-shaped frame 91 is higher than the upper surface of the conveyor belt 7. When the transfer conveyor belt 9 is lifted to the lowest point, the upper surface of the transfer conveyor belt 9 is 0.5-1.0 cm higher than the upper surface of the output conveyor belt 51.

[0030] It can be lifted and lowered at a fixed height. If the lifting accuracy of the lifting cylinder 93 is greatly affected by the ambient temperature, the lifting screw rod can be used to replace it.

[0031] The four printing boxes and the printed transfer box 2 are all connected with an air inlet pipe and an exhaust pipe. The air blown into the box by the air inlet pipe is dry air, and the exhaust pipe draws the air in the box out. The air containing ink is drawn out in time to prevent the ink from volatilizing and sticking to the wall in the box.

[0032] The UV box 4 is provided with an ultraviolet lamp power regulator for adjusting the power of the ultraviolet lamp 41. The curing power is set according to the thickness of the printing ink to prevent problems such as too fast curing and cracking when the ink is thin, and slow curing when the ink is thick.

[0033] After the transfer conveyor belt 9 is loaded with the printed piece, it is necessary to raise the transfer conveyor belt 9 to the top for ultraviolet irradiation. The closer it is to the ultraviolet lamp, the better the curing effect is. It is easy to control the curing time.

[0034] The above description is only a preferred specific implementation manner of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any technician familiar with the technical field can make equivalent replacements or changes according to the technical scheme and inventive concept of the present invention within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention, which should be covered by the protection scope of the present invention.
