DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0016] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present invention, the technical solution of the present invention is further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0017] like Figure 1-8 As shown, a packaging box surface printing device of the present invention comprises a supporting frame 1, a horizontal electric track 11 is installed in the middle of the supporting frame 1, a UV printer 12 is installed on the horizontal electric track 11, vertical electric tracks 13 are installed on both sides of the supporting frame 1, and sliding plates 14 are installed on the two vertical electric tracks 13, and two front-to-back symmetrical electric telescopic rods 15 are installed on opposite sides of the two sliding plates 14, and the output shafts of the electric telescopic rods 15 on the front and back sides are connected to rectangular plates 16; A plurality of vertical grooves 2 are provided on opposite sides of the two rectangular plates 16, and a screw rod 21 is rotatably mounted on the plurality of vertical grooves 2. The pitches of two adjacent screw rods 21 are different. A rotating assembly for driving the screw rod 21 to rotate is provided at the bottom of the rectangular plate 16, and a sliding block 22 threadedly connected to the screw rod 21 is slidably provided in the vertical groove 2. A rotating shaft 23 is rotatably mounted on the sliding block 22, and a clamping plate 24 is provided at the end of the rotating shaft 23. The sliding block 22 is provided with a rotating assembly for driving the rotating shaft 23 to rotate.

[0018] The rotating assembly includes a strip groove 161 formed at the bottom of the rectangular plate 16, and the screw 21 extends into the strip groove 161 and is connected to a first gear 162. A first rack 163 is slidably provided in the strip groove 161 and meshes with the first gear 162. A connecting rod 164 is connected to the right end of the first rack 163. A guide rail 165 is installed on the right side of the support frame 1, and a guide rod 166 located in the guide rail 165 is fixed to the connecting rod 164.

[0019] The guide rail 165 is composed of a straight rail 1651 and two inclined rails 1652 . The two inclined rails 1652 are arranged at the front and rear ends of the straight rail 1651 .

[0020] The rotating assembly includes a mounting groove 221 provided in the sliding block 22, a rotating shaft 23 extending into the mounting groove 221 and connected to a turbine 222, a worm 223 matching the turbine 222 is rotatably installed on the lower side of the mounting groove 221 through a rotating rod, a gear ring 224 is rotatably installed on the side wall of the sliding block 22, the end of the rotating rod is located on the inner side of the gear ring 224, a one-way bearing 225 is provided between the gear ring 224 and the rotating rod, and a second rack 226 matching the gear ring 224 is fixed to the lower side of the vertical groove 2.

[0021] The UV printer 12 adopts piezoelectric inkjet printing technology. The voltage inside the nozzle controls the ink to be sprayed onto the surface of the substrate. The ultraviolet waves emitted by the LED cold light source react with the photosensitive curing agent in the UV ink, so that the pigment molecules in the UV ink are cured on the surface of the material, thereby achieving the drying and curing of the ink. This technology is a conventional technical means in the prior art and will not be described in detail. In the initial state, the sliding plate 14 is controlled to be at the rear side of the supporting frame 1, and the two rectangular plates 16 are controlled to be away from each other by the electric telescopic rod 15; When in use, several packaging boxes to be processed are placed close to each other and neatly between the two rectangular plates 16, and several clamping plates 24 are aligned with the ends of several packaging boxes one by one. The two rectangular plates 16 are driven to approach each other by the electric telescopic rod 15, so that the clamping plates 24 on the rectangular plates 16 clamp the packaging boxes, and several packaging boxes are close to each other and in the same plane. Then the vertical electric track 13 is started to drive the several packaging boxes to move forward to the bottom of the UV printer 12, and the UV printer 12 is driven to reciprocate left and right by the horizontal electric track 11, and the vertical electric track 13 drives the packaging boxes to move forward, so that patterns can be printed on the upper surface of the packaging boxes; After the printing on the upper surface of the packaging box is completed, the vertical electric track 13 drives the sliding plate 14 to continue to move forward as a whole, and the guide rod 166 will enter the inclined rail 1652 along the straight rail 1651, thereby driving the first rack 163 to move leftward through the connecting rod 164, so that the first gear 162 rotates, and the screw rod 21 is driven to rotate. Since the sliding block 22 sliding in the vertical groove 2 is threadedly connected with the screw rod 21, the rotation of the screw rod 21 can drive the sliding block 22 to move downward, and the packaging box clamped between the two clamping plates 24 follows the downward movement. Because the pitches of the two adjacent screw rods 21 are different, and the pitches of the two screw rods 21 separated by a screw 21 are the same, the downward movement strokes of the sliding blocks 22 on the two adjacent screw rods 21 will be different, and the heights of the two adjacent packaging boxes will be different after the downward movement; Before the sliding block 22 moves downward to the bottom of the vertical slot 2, the gear ring 224 will contact and mesh with the second rack 226, driving the gear ring 224 to rotate. The gear ring 224 drives the rotating rod to rotate through the one-way bearing 225, so that the worm 223 rotates synchronously, and then drives the rotating shaft 23 to rotate through the turbine 222, and the packaging box clamped between the two clamping plates 24 rotates accordingly. After the sliding block 22 moves to the bottom of the vertical slot 2, the packaging box rotates 90°. During the rotation of the packaging box, since the two adjacent packaging boxes are not on the same horizontal plane, they will not interfere with each other. Then the vertical electric track 13 drives the sliding plate 14 to move backward, and the guide rod 166 will enter the straight track 1651 along the inclined track 1652. In this process, the first rack 163 can be driven to move rightward through the connecting rod 164, which drives the screw rod 21 to rotate in the opposite direction, so that the sliding block 22 moves upward and resets. The gear ring 224 and the second rack 226 mesh and rotate in the opposite direction. This direction cannot drive the inner ring of the one-way bearing 225 to rotate, and will not drive the packaging box to rotate. After the guide rod 166 enters the straight track 1651, several packaging boxes will also be close to each other and in the same plane, and the surface of the packaging box will be printed by the UV printer 12; Similarly, the sliding plate 14 drives the packaging box to move as a whole to the rear side of the supporting frame 1 in the same manner as the above-mentioned movement principle, and can drive the packaging box to flip 90° again; By repeating the above steps, the four sides of the packaging box can be printed. Therefore, it is not necessary for the staff to turn the packaging box over after printing one side each time, thereby improving the processing efficiency. Since the turbine 222 and the worm 223 have a self-locking function, when the ring gear 224 and the second rack 226 are out of meshing, the external force cannot drive the turbine 222 to rotate, and when the clamping plate 24 clamps the packaging box, it will not automatically flip over.

[0022] Mounting blocks 3 are fixed to both front and rear ends of the bottom of the right sliding plate 14 , a rotating rod is rotatably mounted between the two mounting blocks 3 , and a bearing plate 31 located between the two rectangular plates 16 is fixed to the rotating rod.

[0023] A rectangular groove 32 is provided in the mounting block 3, and a rotating rod extends into the rectangular groove 32 and is connected to a second gear 33. A third rack 34 meshing with the second gear 33 is slidably provided in the rectangular groove 32. A spring 35 is provided between the left side of the third rack 34 and the side wall of the rectangular groove 32. A push rod 36 is connected to the right side of the third rack 34. Bosses 37 matching the push rod 36 are fixed on the front and rear sides of the supporting frame 1. The bosses 37 are processed with inclined surfaces, and the position of the bosses 37 corresponds to the position of the inclined rail 1652.

[0024] In the initial state, the supporting plate 31 can be kept in a horizontal state under the elastic force of the spring 35, and when the push rod 36 abuts against the boss 37, the third rack 34 can be pushed to move, thereby driving the second gear 33 to rotate, and driving the supporting plate 31 to flip downward to a vertical state through the rotating rod; since the position of the boss 37 corresponds to the position of the inclined rail 1652, when the guide rod 166 enters the inclined rail 1652 from the straight rail 1651, the push rod 36 will abut against the boss 37, and the supporting plate 31 will flip downward to a vertical state, and will not hinder the downward movement of the packaging box. Therefore, when placing the packaging box between the clamping plates 14, the position of the sliding plate 14 is controlled by the vertical electric track 13 so that the top rod 36 does not abut against the boss 37. At this time, the carrying plate 31 is in a horizontal state, and the electric telescopic rod 15 is started to drive the clamping plates 24 to move away from each other, so that the packaging box is neatly placed on the carrying plate 31, and then the packaging box can be clamped by the clamping plates 24, which is more convenient to use. After the printing of the packaging box is completed, the position of the sliding plate 14 can be controlled by the vertical electric track 13, and the top rod 36 abuts against the middle part of the inclined surface of the boss 37. At this time, the supporting plate 31 can be in a downward tilted state, and the clamping plate 24 cancels the clamping of the packaging box, and the packaging box falls downward onto the supporting plate 31. The packaging box is guided by the inclined supporting plate 31 to prevent the packaging box from falling directly on the ground, which is convenient for unloading.

[0025] The above embodiments are merely illustrative of the principles and effects of the present invention, and are not intended to limit the present invention. Anyone familiar with the technology may modify or change the above embodiments without violating the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, all equivalent modifications or changes made by those with ordinary knowledge in the technical field without departing from the spirit and technical ideas disclosed by the present invention should still be covered by the claims of the present invention.
