[0002] Printing, also known as "electro-engraving," is done using a sandblasting machine and is suitable for making crystal and glass seals.

[0003] When printing on glass bottles, printing needs to be done on the bottle cap at the top and the bottle body on the side. Since the cap and body are vertically positioned, commonly used three-axis electro-etching machines cannot handle etching in both vertical directions.

[0033] The specific embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below, but it should be understood that the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments.

[0034] like Figures 1-6 As shown in the figure, the glass bottle printing mechanism provided in this embodiment of the invention includes a printing base plate 1, a base frame 2, and an engraving machine body 7. The engraving machine body 7 is used to engrave the glass bottle body 8 located on the upper side of the printing base plate 1, and can engrave brand information, product specifications, production date, etc. onto the glass bottle body 8. The printing base plate 1 is installed on the base frame 2.

[0035] Specifically, the base frame 2 is equipped with a front-to-back displacement mechanism 3 and a moving platform 4.

[0036] More specifically, the front and rear displacement mechanism 3 includes a front and rear adjusting motor, a front and rear adjusting screw 301, a sealing seat 302, a front and rear threaded slider 303, a front and rear guide slider 304, and a front and rear guide rod 305.

It should be noted that the front and rear adjusting screw 301 is connected to the output shaft of the front and rear adjusting motor through a coupling. The front and rear adjusting screw 301 is mounted on the base frame 2. It should be noted that the front and rear adjusting screw 301 is connected to the base frame 2 through a bearing. One end of the front and rear adjusting screw 301 is inserted into the sealing seat 302, and the sealing seat 302 is mounted on the base frame 2.

[0037] It should be noted that the front and rear threaded sliders 303 are mounted on the moving table 4, and at least two front and rear guide sliders 304 are mounted on the moving table 4. The two front and rear guide sliders 304 are symmetrically distributed about the center line of the moving table 4. The front and rear guide sliders 304 are slidably engaged with the front and rear guide rods 305. The front and rear guide rods 305 are mounted on the base frame 2. There are two front and rear guide rods 305, and the two front and rear guide rods 305 are symmetrically distributed about the center line of the moving table 4.

[0038] To provide the engraving machine body 7 with greater freedom of movement, a left-right displacement mechanism 5 and a right-right displacement mechanism 6 are provided on the moving stage 4. The left-right displacement mechanism 5 is mounted on the moving stage 4 and connected to the right-right displacement mechanism 6. The left-right displacement mechanism 5 drives the right-right displacement mechanism 6 to move left and right. Specifically, the left-right displacement mechanism 5 can drive the right-right displacement mechanism 6 to move in a direction perpendicular to the direction of movement of the front-back displacement mechanism 3. The right-right displacement mechanism 6 is connected to the engraving machine body 7 and can drive the engraving machine body 7 to move up and down. The right-right displacement mechanism 6 can be a cylinder or a screw and slider structure similar to that in the front-back displacement mechanism 3.

[0039] The front-to-back displacement mechanism 3, the left-to-right displacement mechanism 5, and the up-to-down displacement mechanism 6 can drive the engraving machine body 7 to move along three axes, giving the engraving machine body 7 a higher degree of freedom and facilitating the subsequent engraving work on the glass bottle body 8.

[0040] Specifically, the left and right displacement mechanism 5 includes a left and right displacement motor 501, a left and right adjusting screw 502, a left and right threaded slider, a left and right guide rod 503, and a left and right guide slider.

The moving table 4 is provided with left and right guide rods 503 that are parallel to the left and right adjusting screw 502. The left and right guide rods 503 slide in cooperation with the left and right guide sliders. The left and right guide sliders are mounted on the up and down displacement mechanism 6.

[0041] It should be noted that the top of the glass bottle body 8 is provided with a bottle cap. During engraving, it is necessary to engrave not only on the bottle cap but also on the bottle body 8. Therefore, an angle adjustment mechanism 9 and a bottle body adjustment mechanism 10 are provided on the printing base plate 1. The bottle body adjustment mechanism 10 includes a suction mechanism 1001 and a power motor 1002. The suction mechanism 1001 is used to suction and release the glass bottle body 8. The output end of the power motor 1002 is connected to the suction mechanism 1001. The power motor 1002 can drive the suction mechanism 1001 to rotate. The glass bottle body 8 held by the suction mechanism 1001 can rotate together with the suction mechanism 1001, thereby achieving the purpose of adjusting the angle of the bottle body. This allows the engraving machine body 7 to engrave at a suitable position on the bottle body.

[0042] Specifically, the adsorption mechanism 1001 includes a suction cup, a power pump, and a bracket. The power pump and the suction cup are both mounted on the bracket. The power pump is connected to the suction cup, and the suction cup is located on the lower side of the glass bottle body 8.

[0043] More specifically, the angle adjustment mechanism 9 is used to adjust the tilt angle of the glass bottle body 8. The angle adjustment mechanism 9 includes a glass bottle clamping plate 901, a glass bottle clamping power mechanism 902, a clamping base plate 903, a mounting bracket, an angle adjustment telescopic rod 904, and a support platform 905. The glass bottle clamping power mechanism 902 is a cylinder, and there are two glass bottle clamping power mechanisms 902, which are located on both sides of the glass bottle body 8. The output end of the glass bottle clamping power mechanism 902 is connected to the glass bottle clamping plate 901. The glass bottle clamping plate 901 has an arc-shaped part that matches the outer wall of the glass bottle body 8. The glass bottle clamping power mechanism 902 is mounted on the mounting frame, which is movably connected to the support platform 905. The angle adjustment telescopic rod 904 can be either a cylinder or a hydraulic cylinder. One end of the angle adjustment telescopic rod 904 is movably connected to the printing base plate 1, and the other end is movably connected to the mounting frame. It should be noted that the angle adjustment mechanism 9 also includes a side plate, which is mounted on the mounting frame. The output end of the angle adjustment telescopic rod 904 is movably connected to the side plate.

[0044] A method for controlling a glass bottle printing mechanism includes the following steps:

[0045] Step 1: Bottle cap engraving; Activate the front-to-back displacement mechanism 3, the left-to-right displacement mechanism 5, and the up-to-down displacement mechanism 6 to move the engraving machine body 7 along three axes to engrave on the bottle cap;

[0046] Step 2, Bottle body engraving; Activate the angle adjustment mechanism 9 to adjust the tilt angle of the glass bottle body 8, and activate the front-to-back displacement mechanism 3, left-to-right displacement mechanism 5, and up-to-down displacement mechanism 6 to drive the three-axis movement of the engraving machine body 7 to engrave on the upward-facing bottle body.

[0047] Step 3: Bottle rotation; Activate the bottle adjustment mechanism 10 and the angle adjustment mechanism 9. The glass bottle clamping power mechanism 902 in the angle adjustment mechanism 9 loosens the glass bottle body 8, changing from a tight fit to a slightly loose fit. This restricts the glass bottle body 8 without hindering its rotation. The adsorption mechanism 1001 in the bottle adjustment mechanism 10 adsorbs the glass bottle body 8. The power motor 1002 drives the bottle body to rotate, activating the front-to-back displacement mechanism 3, the left-to-right displacement mechanism 5, and the up-and-down displacement mechanism 6 to move the three axes of the engraving machine body 7, thus engraving on the bottle body.

[0048] The above-disclosed embodiments are merely a few specific examples of the present invention. However, the embodiments of the present invention are not limited thereto, and any variations that can be conceived by those skilled in the art should fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
