[0002] Currently, in the production of rubber pads, in order to improve the personalization and artistry of rubber pad products, UV printing is required before they leave the factory, and the preset pattern is printed on the surface of the product. During the printing process, the UV curing lamp moves synchronously with the nozzle, and the ink is instantly cured by ultraviolet rays after spraying, achieving a printing and drying effect. This not only greatly shortens the production cycle, but also ensures that the printed pattern is bright in color, highly saturated, wear-resistant and has excellent waterproof and scratch-resistant properties. Whether it is complex and fine textures, gradient colors, corporate logos, or artistic patterns, they can be presented on the rubber pads with a high degree of restoration, making the rubber pads beautiful and recognizable.

The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are intended to be used to explain the present invention, but should not be understood as limiting the present invention.

[0018] See also Figures 1 to 3 The present invention provides an intelligent UV printing loading and unloading mechanism, including two transport units, a UV printing unit, a temporary storage conveyor 1 and two displacement sensors 2, the transport unit includes two brackets 3, two material boxes 4, an AGV trolley 5, multiple support rods 6 and a support plate 7, the transport unit also includes two robotic arms 8, multiple suction cups 9 and two locking components, the locking components include two pushing components 10, two pushing plates 11 and a fixed plate 12, the bracket 3 has a placement groove 13, the UV printing unit includes a support shell 14, a printing conveyor 15, a lateral adjustment slide rail 16 and a UV printing device 17.

[0019] The temporary conveyor 1 is provided at one end of the Uv printing unit, and the two transport units are respectively provided at both ends of the Uv printing unit. The temporary conveyor 1 is located between the Uv printing unit and the corresponding transport unit. The two displacement sensors 2 are sequentially provided on the temporary conveyor 1, and a rubber pad 18 is placed in the transport unit. The rubber pad 18 is transported to the interior of the Uv printing unit by the transport unit at one end, and then the rubber pad 18 after printing is completed will be moved to the temporary conveyor 1 and detected by the displacement sensor 2, indicating that printing is completed. At this time, it is removed by the transport unit at the other end, thereby automatically completing the Uv printing of the rubber pad 18 and loading and unloading. No manual intervention is required throughout the process, significantly improving production efficiency.

[0020] Secondly, the two brackets 3 are sequentially placed at one end of the UV printing unit, the two material boxes 4 are respectively placed above the corresponding brackets 3, the AGV trolley 5 is located below the corresponding bracket 3, one end of the multiple support rods 6 is fixedly connected to the top of the AGV trolley 5, and the other end of the multiple support rods 6 is fixedly connected to the support plate 7. The rubber pad 18 is placed in the material box 4. The bracket 3 is used to support the placed material box 4. First, the support plate 7 is supported by the support rods 6, and the material box 4 is placed above the support plate 7. At this time, relying on the movement of the AGV trolley 5, the material box 4 is moved to the top of the bracket 3 and placed and fixed, and then the subsequent printing operation begins.

[0021] At the same time, the two robotic arms 8 are symmetrically arranged at both ends of the UV printing unit, and the multiple suction cups 9 are sequentially arranged on the robotic arms 8. The two locking components are respectively arranged on the corresponding brackets 3. When the material box 4 is placed on the bracket 3, the robotic arms 8 are activated to drive the suction cups 9 to move, and then the rubber pad 18 inside the material box 4 is adsorbed by the suction cups 9, thereby transferring it to the interior of the UV printing unit; in addition, when the material box 4 is placed on the bracket 3, the locking components are activated to lock the material box 4 to prevent shaking and deviation.

[0022] In addition, the bracket 3 has a receiving groove 13. The two pushing members 10 are sequentially arranged above the bracket 3 and distributed outside the receiving groove 13. The output ends of the two pushing members 10 are respectively fixedly connected to the corresponding pushing plates 11. The fixing plate 12 is arranged above the bracket 3. The pushing members 10 are self-locking cylinders. When the AGV trolley 5 moves the material box 4 into the receiving groove 13, the pushing members 10 are activated, driving the pushing plates 11 to move, and then contacting the material box 4, causing it to abut against the fixing plate 12 to achieve locking.

[0023] Then, the support shell 14 is arranged between the two robotic arms 8, the lateral adjustment slide rail 16 is arranged above the support shell 14, the UV printing device 17 is arranged at the output end of the lateral adjustment slide rail 16, the printing conveyor 15 is arranged above the support shell 14 and is located below the UV printing device 17, and the rubber pad 18 is placed above the printing conveyor 15. The support shell 14 supports the entire Uv printing unit. After the robotic arm 8 places the rubber pad 18 above the printing conveyor 15, the printing conveyor 15 starts to transport the rubber pad 18. At the same time, the Uv printer has a built-in intelligent sensing component. When it senses that the product has reached the specified printing position, the conveyor belt of the printer continues to move forward. The Uv printing device 17 will automatically identify the size and angular position deviation of the rubber pad 18 and perform automatic graphic comparison and correction on the rubber pad 18. In addition, the Uv printing device 17 can receive timely order picture information and convert the information to the printed product in a timely manner, realizing truly intelligent printing work. At the same time, the lateral adjustment slide rail 16 is started, which can drive the Uv printing device 17 to move laterally to adapt to the different positions and angles of the rubber pad 18.

[0024] Finally, the shaping roller 19 and the printer X-mobile module 20 are sequentially arranged on the printing conveyor. The shaping roller 19 is located on one side of the printer X-mobile module 20, and the print head 21 is mounted on the printer X-mobile module 20. The shaping roller 19's primary function is to flatten the rubber pad. In actual production, the rubber pad may have slight bulging and bulging. The shaping roller 19 is used to flatten the uneven product and prepare it for subsequent printing. The printer X-mobile module 20 drives the print head 21 to move, achieving horizontal scanning printing of products within the working range. The UV print head 21 contains multiple inkjet nozzles and UV irradiation lamps, which can mix and spray different colors of UV glue and simultaneously harden the glue through UV irradiation, achieving zero-time-lag pattern printing and curing.

[0025] When using an intelligent Uv printing loading and unloading mechanism of the present embodiment, the material box 4 containing the rubber pad 18 is transported to the top of the corresponding bracket 3 through the AGV trolley 5 at one end, and is locked and fixed by the locking component; at this time, the robotic arm 8 is started, and the rubber pad 18 inside the material box 4 is adsorbed and transferred to the printing conveyor 15 by relying on the suction cup 9; at this time, the printing conveyor 15 is started to transport the rubber pad 18, and at the same time, the Uv printer is equipped with an intelligent sensing component. When it senses that the product has reached the specified printing position, the conveyor belt of the printer is continuously transported forward, and the Uv printing device 17 will automatically identify the size and angular position deviation of the rubber pad 18, and perform automatic graphic comparison correction on the rubber pad 18; in addition, the Uv printing device 17 can receive the rubber pad 18 in a timely manner. Timely order picture information and timely conversion of the information to the printed product to achieve truly intelligent printing work; at the same time, the lateral adjustment slide 16 is started, which can drive the UV printing device 17 to move horizontally to adapt to the different positions and angles of the rubber pad 18; after the final printing is completed, the rubber pad 18 will move to the temporary storage conveyor 1, and the system will sense the product in place signal through the displacement sensor 2, indicating that the printing is completed, and then notify the robotic arm 8, and the robotic arm 8 will grab the product in time through the suction cup 9 and place it inside the material box 4 without the rubber pad 18; when the rubber pad 18 in one of the boxes is placed, the system will send a transportation instruction to the AGV system through the master control system. After receiving the corresponding instruction, the AGV system will promptly assign the corresponding AGV trolley 5 to the designated location to transport the material product;

[0026] In addition, this intelligent printing device also has the function of timely adjusting the printing pattern and automatically identifying the shape and position of the product. When the system receives the customized order from the end customer, it will automatically call the corresponding mother material product to the printer table. The UV printing device 17 will automatically generate a matching pattern according to the customer's order pattern requirements and print it on the product mother material. It will also quickly cure the pattern ink through UV irradiation and feed the results back to the master control system. The whole process does not require manual intervention.

[0027] Through the above-mentioned structural setting, the UV printing and loading and unloading of the rubber pad 18 can be completed automatically without manual intervention throughout the process, which significantly improves production efficiency.

[0028] In addition, this application includes but is not limited to the production and processing of rubber pads. Products with similar structures or production principles to rubber pads can be printed and processed by the intelligent printing device of this application;

[0029] In addition: For intelligent UV printers, they can also receive the pattern transmitted by the host computer in real time according to the pattern requirements of the product, and print the pattern perfectly on the surface of the product to be printed. Before printing, they can self-edit the graphics in real time according to the shape and size of the product (such as scaling, length and width adjustment);

[0030] The printer is also equipped with an image processing system that can accurately locate randomly placed products. After locking the position, the pattern is printed on the product. The product is printed as it moves.
