Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of thin film printing inspection technology, and in particular to a suction spreading plate with negative pressure self-adjustment function. Background Technology

[0002] Film printing is a processing technique that prints images and text on the surface of flexible materials such as plastic films. It is widely used in packaging, labeling, decoration, electronics, agriculture, and other fields. Offline quality inspection of film printing refers to the systematic and standardized analysis and evaluation of key quality indicators in a separate testing environment (laboratory or dedicated testing area) after the printing process is completed, using specific instruments and methods. Compared to online inspection, offline inspection is typically more thorough, more accurate, and better simulates actual usage conditions, making it a crucial step in ensuring that the final product quality meets standards and customer requirements.

[0003] In the quality inspection of film products, the inherent softness, deformability, and static electricity of the film material make them prone to wrinkles, drifting, and uneven stress, directly affecting the reliability of quality inspection. To solve this core problem, "suction flattening" technology has emerged and has become an indispensable key link in the quality inspection of high-end printed products.

[0004] In some existing suction spreading plates, the negative pressure fan generally operates at a fixed speed, generating a fixed maximum air volume and vacuum degree. However, different film products have certain differences in material, thickness, and width. The constant air volume and vacuum degree result in different pressures exerted by the suction spreading plate on film products of different sizes. When the pressure is too low, the spreading effect is poor. When the pressure is too high, it may overstretch the film, damage the film, and reduce the inspection quality of the film products. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of existing suction spreading plates, where the negative pressure fan generally operates at a fixed speed, generating a fixed maximum air volume and vacuum degree. However, different film products have certain differences in material, thickness, and width. The constant air volume and vacuum degree result in different pressures exerted by the suction spreading plate on film products of different sizes. When the pressure is too low, the spreading effect is poor; when the pressure is too high, it may overstretch the film, damage the film, and reduce the quality of film product testing. This invention provides a suction spreading plate with a negative pressure self-adjusting function.

[0006] The objective of this invention is achieved through the following technical solution: a suction plate with negative pressure self-adjustment function, comprising a flattening structure, the flattening structure comprising a suction plate body, the flattening structure being used to adsorb the film to be tested and provide a flattening surface;

[0007] The suction power assembly includes a negative pressure suction pipe connected to the bottom surface of the suction plate body, and a negative pressure fan connected to the other end of the negative pressure suction pipe. The suction power assembly provides suction for the flattened structure.

[0008] The suction control component includes a negative pressure sensor and a PLC controller. The negative pressure sensor is installed on the negative pressure suction duct to monitor the negative pressure within the duct. The PLC controller is connected to both the negative pressure sensor and the negative pressure fan. A frequency converter is installed on the negative pressure fan. The PLC controller receives the signal from the negative pressure sensor and controls the speed of the negative pressure fan through the frequency converter. The PLC controller automatically adjusts the speed of the negative pressure fan based on preset values ​​and actual feedback values. The suction control component controls the suction force of the suction power component to achieve adaptability to suction and flattening of different film specifications.

[0009] By precisely controlling the suction intensity during the film flattening process through the suction control component, damage to the film is effectively avoided, while simultaneously improving the equipment's adaptability and efficiency. In practical applications, films of different specifications can achieve good flattening results, reducing adjustment time during operation and improving inspection accuracy and production efficiency. Furthermore, the use of a dark-colored, flexible, breathable material liner and a high-mesh screen further protects the film surface, preventing minor scratches and ensuring film quality. Optimized airflow paths and matched fan performance parameters result in smoother system operation, reduced noise, and a better working environment.

[0010] A further technical solution is that the main body of the suction plate includes a suction hole plate layer, a pad layer and a high mesh screen. The suction hole plate layer has suction holes arranged at equal intervals. The pad layer is located above the suction hole plate layer and the high mesh screen is located above the pad layer.

[0011] A further technical solution is to use a dark-colored flexible material for the padding layer, with a thickness of 1 to 3 millimeters, which is breathable.

[0012] By using a dark-colored, flexible, and breathable liner layer and a high-mesh screen, the liner layer effectively blocks the air vents on the air vent plate, preventing hole imaging. The high-mesh screen eliminates texture imaging of the liner layer, thereby improving the imaging quality of the film under test.

[0013] A further technical solution is to install a limiting component on the upper part of the suction plate body. The limiting component includes a lower stop gauge and a left stop gauge, which are located at the edge of the suction plate body and are used to limit the film to be tested.

[0014] A further technical solution is that a suction base plate is installed at the bottom of the suction plate body, a negative pressure chamber is set between the suction hole plate layer and the suction base plate, the suction holes on the suction hole plate layer are connected to the negative pressure chamber, and the air outlet of the negative pressure chamber is connected to the negative pressure suction pipe through the suction nozzle.

[0015] A further technical solution is to install a pressure relief valve on the negative pressure suction duct, which is responsible for pressure relief protection when the pressure inside the negative pressure suction duct reaches its upper limit.

[0016] A further technical solution is to install a silencer at the air outlet of the negative pressure fan. The silencer can reduce noise interference at the air outlet of the negative pressure fan.

[0017] This invention offers the following advantages: By precisely controlling the suction intensity during the film flattening process through a specially designed suction control component, it effectively prevents damage to the film during flattening, while simultaneously improving the adaptability and efficiency of the equipment. In practical applications, films of different specifications can achieve good flattening results, reducing adjustment time during operation and improving detection accuracy and production efficiency. Furthermore, the use of a dark-colored, flexible, breathable material liner and a high-mesh screen further protects the film surface, preventing minor scratches and ensuring film quality. Optimized airflow paths and matched fan performance parameters result in smoother system operation, reduced noise, and better protection for the working environment. It effectively solves the problem of poor flattening results caused by variations in the size and thickness of the film being tested during offline detection in existing technologies.
