Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of printing machinery, and specifically relates to an environment-friendly printing system for a plate cylinder. Background Art
[0002] With the continuous development of plate cylinders and the field, existing plate cylinder products have been widely used. However, there are still some problems in their actual use. For example, existing plate cylinders usually have complex operations when installing and fixing the printing plate, and the printing plate is prone to loosening or wear after long-term use, resulting in a decline in printing quality. In addition, existing plate cylinders have deficiencies in cleaning, and cannot effectively remove the ink and impurities on the surface of the cylinder, affecting the printing effect and the service life of the equipment.
[0003] To solve these problems, there have been some attempts, such as improving the structural design and installation method of the plate cylinder. Although these methods have improved the relevant aspects to a certain extent, they still have limitations. For example, manual intervention is still required in cleaning and maintenance, with low efficiency and easy to cause environmental pollution.
[0004] Specifically, after retrieval, a plate cylinder with the publication number CN107206780B was disclosed, and the publication date was August 2, 2019. This design adopts the structure of a plate cylinder main body, a flat part, a hole part, and a plate fixing component. Although it can achieve the tight fixation of the printing plate, due to its complex structure, the operation is cumbersome when installing and disassembling the printing plate, and the fixing component is prone to wear after long-term use, resulting in the loosening of the printing plate. In addition, this design does not involve the cleaning function of the cylinder, and cannot effectively remove the ink and impurities on the surface of the cylinder, affecting the printing quality and the service life of the equipment.
[0005] After retrieval, a plate cylinder of a PS plate printing machine with the publication number CN106965551B was disclosed, and the publication date was June 17, 2022. This product adopts a plate head loose clamping device, a plate tail loose clamping device, and a plate tensioning device. Although it can achieve the rapid installation and adjustment of the printing plate, due to its reliance on a cylinder to push the block, the structure is complex and the maintenance cost is high. In addition, this design also does not involve the cleaning function of the cylinder, and cannot effectively remove the ink and impurities on the surface of the cylinder, affecting the printing effect and the service life of the equipment.
[0006] The above problems indicate that it is difficult for existing plate cylinders on the market to effectively meet the new requirements for efficient installation, fixation, and cleaning under complex working conditions. Therefore, the present invention provides an environment-friendly printing system for a plate cylinder to overcome these deficiencies and provide a new solution that is more intelligent, efficient, and adaptable to changing environments. This design can not only achieve the rapid installation and fixation of the printing plate, but also automatically clean the surface of the cylinder, improve the printing quality and the service life of the equipment, and reduce environmental pollution.

[0057] The reinforcement learning framework of this system constructs a multi-dimensional evaluation system and realizes optimal decision-making through a three-factor dynamic balance mechanism:

[0061] The Q-learning algorithm was used to achieve parameter self-optimization during 100 consecutive cleaning cycles.
[0062] The system builds a hierarchical reinforcement learning architecture and achieves intelligent evolution through four-stage iterations:
[0063] State space modeling: The drum surface is divided into 200×200 grid monitoring units. Each unit records 12-dimensional feature vectors such as ink thickness, residue type, temperature gradient, etc., forming a million-level state node library;
[0064] Action strategy generation: define continuous action spaces such as nozzle pressure (adjustable from 0.2 to 0.8 MPa), scraper spacing (0.1 to 0.5 mm), and moving speed (5 to 30 cm / s), and balance exploration and utilization through the ε-greedy strategy;
[0065] Online experience playback: Deploy edge computing units in the cleaning arm to build a memory library containing 10,000 sets of historical operations. Extract 500 sets of experience samples after each cleaning to update the Q value table to achieve cross-cycle knowledge transfer;
[0066] Policy network optimization: Using a dual-Q network architecture, the main network is responsible for immediate decision-making, and the target network is updated lazily. Network parameter synchronization is performed every 20 cleaning cycles to prevent overfitting.

When it is judged that cleaning is required, an instruction is sent to the cleaning device through the signal transceiver 43 to start the cleaning process. The signal transceiver 43 is also used to receive the real-time data of the sensor module 42 and feedback it to the central processor 41 to ensure the accurate control of the cleaning process.
[0074] 4. The operation process of the environmental protection treatment device is as follows:
[0075] The filter 51 is connected to the outlet of the cleaning liquid recovery device 33 through a pipeline. The multi-layer filter screen 511 and the activated carbon filter layer 512 of the filter 51 remove the ink and impurities in the cleaning liquid. The chemical treatment tank 521 neutralizes the harmful substances in the cleaning liquid, and the biological treatment tank 522 decomposes the organic substances in the cleaning liquid. The filter layer of the filter 51 is replaced regularly to ensure its filtering effect. The liquid treated by the waste liquid treatment unit 52 is discharged after reaching the national discharge standard.
[0076] 5. The specific application scenarios are as follows:
[0077] Suppose that the environment-friendly printing press with plate cylinder cleaning of the present invention is used for printing operations in a printing factory. During the printing process, the control system 4 monitors the working state of the plate cylinder in real time through the sensor module 42. When it is detected that there is ink and impurities accumulating on the surface of the cylinder, the central processing unit 41 sends an instruction to the pump 322 through the signal transceiver 43 to start the cleaning process. The pump 322 conveys the cleaning liquid from the storage tank 321 to the nozzle 311, the nozzle 311 sprays the cleaning liquid, and the squeegee 312 scrapes off the ink and impurities on the surface of the cylinder. The driving mechanism 34 drives the cleaning head 31 to move along the axial direction of the cylinder to ensure that the cleaning head 31 can cover the entire surface of the cylinder. The cleaned liquid drips into the recovery tank 331 and is conveyed to the filter 51 through the pump 332 for treatment.
