DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0015] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0016] like Figure 1-Figure 10 As shown, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows: A printing press roller comprises a printing roller body 1, a tensioning assembly and a reel 18. A rotating shaft 2 is coaxially fixedly arranged at both ends of the printing roller body 1. A first clamping groove 3 and a receiving groove 21 are axially provided on the outer circumference of the printing roller body 1. A second clamping groove 20 is axially provided on the reel 18. When in use, one end of a flexible printing plate is clamped into the first clamping groove 3, and the other end is clamped into the second clamping groove 20. When the flexible printing plate is wound on the printing roller body 1, the receiving groove 21 is used to store the reel 18.

[0017] Both ends of the printing roller body 1 are connected with tensioning assemblies. The two tensioning assemblies are symmetrically arranged. The tensioning assembly includes a plurality of connecting blocks 5, and the plurality of connecting blocks 5 are rotatably connected head to tail in sequence. The connecting block 5 at the head end of the tensioning assembly is fixedly connected to the printing roller body 1. In the same tensioning assembly, two adjacent connecting blocks 5 are rotatably connected via an axle rod 6. The plurality of axles 6 are located on the same side of the tensioning assembly. A driving assembly is arranged between two adjacent connecting blocks 5, and the driving assembly is located on the side of the connecting block 5 away from the axle rod 6. Under the action of the driving assembly between two adjacent connecting blocks 5, the plurality of connecting blocks 5 rotate around the corresponding axle rod 6 in sequence, so that the tensioning assembly gradually forms a circle coaxial with the printing roller body 1.

[0018] The driving assembly includes a telescopic rod 8. The telescopic rod 8 is an electric telescopic rod, which is a purchased part customized by the manufacturer and will not be described in detail. Between two adjacent connecting blocks 5, a groove 7 is provided on the side where the two connecting blocks 5 are close to each other, and a hinge shaft is provided in the groove 7. One end of the telescopic rod 8 is hinged to the hinge shaft in one of the connecting blocks 5, and the other end of the telescopic rod 8 is hinged to the hinge shaft in the other connecting block 5.

[0019] Starting from the head end of the tensioning assembly, the corresponding telescopic rods 8 are started in sequence, so that the distance between two adjacent connecting blocks 5 at the end away from the shaft 6 becomes larger, so that multiple connecting blocks 5 are rotated in sequence by a certain angle, so that the tensioning assembly forms a circle coaxial with the printing roller body 1.

[0020] The connecting block 5 at the end of the tensioning assembly is fixedly connected with a protrusion 9. Each protrusion 9 is provided with a mounting assembly, and the reel 18 is detachably mounted between two protrusions 9 through the mounting assembly.

[0021] A square groove 4 is provided on the protrusion 9, a limit groove is provided in the square groove 4, and a limit block 11 is provided in the limit groove for limit sliding. A motor 10 is provided in the square groove 4, and the motor 10 and the limit block 11 are fixedly connected. The motor 10 can move toward the direction close to the tensioning assembly or move away from the tensioning assembly through the limit block 11. A pressure sensor 12 is provided on the side of the motor 10 close to the tensioning assembly, and the pressure sensor 12 is fixed on the inner wall of the square groove 4. When the motor 10 moves toward the direction close to the tensioning assembly, the pressure sensor 12 can be triggered and the pressure value can be fed back.

[0022] The mounting assembly includes a connecting shaft 13 and a connecting sleeve 15. One end of the connecting shaft 13 is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor 10, and the other end of the connecting shaft 13 is limitedly slidably embedded in the connecting sleeve 15 and a spring 16 is fixedly connected between the connecting sleeve 15.

[0023] A spline 14 is fixedly arranged on the circumferential surface of the connecting shaft 13 in the axial direction, and a spline groove matching the spline 14 is opened on the inner wall of the connecting sleeve 15 in the axial direction. The spline 14 is slidably arranged in the spline groove, and the connecting shaft 13 and the connecting sleeve 15 are limitedly slidably matched through the spline 14.

[0024] A push groove 17 is provided on the outer circumference of the connecting sleeve 15. The reel 18 adopts a hollow structure, and a push block 19 matching the push groove 17 is fixed on the inner wall of the reel 18, and the push block 19 slides with the push groove 17. When the reel 18 is installed between the two protrusions 9, the connecting sleeve 15 is pushed to move the connecting sleeve 15 close to the connecting shaft 13, and then the reel 18 is placed between the two connecting sleeves 15, and the push block 19 corresponds to the push groove 17; then, the connecting sleeve 15 is released, and under the action of the spring 16, the connecting sleeve 15 moves away from the connecting shaft 13 and extends into the reel 18, and the push block 19 is stuck in the push groove 17. In this way, the motor 10 can drive the reel 18 to rotate and tighten the flexible printing plate through the cooperation of the connecting shaft 13 and the connecting sleeve 15.

[0025] The pressure sensor 12 and the motor 10 are both electrically connected to the controller. When the pressure value of the pressure sensor 12 reaches a preset value, the controller is operated to stop the motor 10.

[0026] Working principle of the present invention: Initially, the tensioning assembly is in a straight state, that is, it forms a straight line and is located at one side of the printing roller body 1.

[0027] When in use, one end of the flexible printing plate is inserted into the first slot 3 , and the other end is inserted into the second slot 20 on the reel 18 .

[0028] Then, the reel 18 is rotatably installed between the two protrusions 9, that is, the connecting sleeve 15 is embedded in the end of the reel 18 and the push block 19 is placed in the push groove 17. Specifically, the connecting sleeve 15 is pushed to move the connecting sleeve 15 close to the connecting shaft 13, and then the reel 18 is placed between the two connecting sleeves 15, and the push block 19 is opposite to the push groove 17, and then the connecting sleeve 15 is released. Under the action of the spring 16, the connecting sleeve 15 moves away from the connecting shaft 13 and then extends into the reel 18, and the push block 19 is stuck in the push groove 17.

[0029] At this time, the flexible printing plate is in a relaxed state. The motor 10 is started, the connecting shaft 13 drives the connecting sleeve 15 to rotate, the connecting sleeve 15 drives the reel 18 to rotate, and the flexible printing plate is gradually wound around the reel 18, thereby tightening the flexible printing plate. As the flexible printing plate is tightened, the motor 10 gradually moves toward the printing roller body 1, and the pressure sensor 12 is squeezed to generate a pressure value. The tightening state of the flexible printing plate can be judged by the pressure value of the pressure sensor 12. The greater the pressure value of the pressure sensor 12, the greater the tension on the flexible printing plate. When the pressure value of the pressure sensor 12 reaches the preset value, the motor 10 is stopped. At this time, the flexible printing plate is in a tensioned state and has a certain tension.

[0030] Then, multiple telescopic rods 8 are started in sequence from the head end to the tail end of the tensioning assembly, so that the tensioning assembly gradually forms a circle concentric with the printing roller body 1, and the flexible printing plate between the printing roller body 1 and the reel 18 is gradually wound around the printing roller body 1.

[0031] After the flexible printing plate between the printing roller body 1 and the reel 18 is wound on the printing roller body 1, the reel 18 is directly opposite to the receiving groove 21. Then the reel 18 is inserted into the receiving groove 21.

[0032] When necessary, the tensioning assembly is gradually extended into a straight line by shortening and retracting the telescopic rod 8.

[0033] In the present invention, the flexible printing plate is first pulled into a tensioned state and then gradually wound around the printing roller body 1 through the deformation of the tensioning assembly, thereby preventing the flexible printing plate from sliding on the printing roller body 1 and making the tension of the flexible printing plate uniform, thereby reducing the deformation of the flexible printing plate and improving the printing quality.

[0034] Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, it is still possible for those skilled in the art to modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments, or to make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features therein. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
