Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to an automatic screen printing system capable of preventing glue dripping. BACKGROUND

[0002] Screen printing is a common printing process in industrial production, which transfers printing materials such as glue to the surface of a workpiece through the mesh of a screen to form a predetermined pattern. In a conventional screen printing system, the screen is usually static, and the workpiece below needs to be replaced after printing to perform a cycle operation.

[0003] However, this operation mode has obvious defects: the mesh and surface of the screen are prone to residual glue, which will drip onto the surface of the workpiece below to be printed or the workpiece that has completed printing, resulting in workpiece contamination, reduced printing accuracy, and even workpiece scrap.

[0004] To prevent glue dripping, the existing technology usually uses the method of cleaning the screen after each printing or directly replacing the screen, but both methods will significantly prolong the operation cycle, reduce production efficiency, increase labor and material costs, and are difficult to meet the needs of industrial mass production.

[0005] Therefore, it has become a technical problem to be solved in the field to develop an automatic screen printing system that can prevent residual glue from dripping and contaminating the workpiece while ensuring production efficiency. SUMMARY

[0006] To solve the technical defects of the existing static screen printing system, such as residual glue dripping and contaminating the workpiece, and cleaning / replacing the screen leading to low production efficiency, the present application provides an automatic screen printing system capable of preventing glue dripping, which achieves the technical effects of no glue dripping and contamination and efficient continuous printing. The specific technical solutions are as follows:

[0007] An automatic screen printing system capable of preventing glue dripping, comprising a main frame, a screen body, a lifting mechanism, and a rotating mechanism; the main frame is composed of a vertical frame and a horizontal frame in the shape of a cross, a sliding groove is formed in the vertical frame, a notch is provided in the middle of the sliding groove, and the cross-sectional width of the notch is greater than the main body width of the sliding groove; the end of the screen body is provided with a sliding block, the sliding block is slidingly assembled in the sliding groove and can be separated through the notch; a buckle is provided in the middle of the screen body, and a clamping groove is formed in the upper end of the buckle; the lifting mechanism comprises a lifting cylinder and a lifting ring, the lifting ring is connected to the bottom of the push rod of the lifting cylinder, and can translate forward and backward in the clamping groove; the rotating mechanism comprises a rotating cylinder and an electromagnetic clamping groove, the electromagnetic clamping groove is connected to the output end of the rotating cylinder, a recess structure adapted to the buckle is provided in the middle, and the electromagnetic clamping groove can be powered to attract the buckle; the rotating cylinder can simultaneously complete two kinds of motion of rotation and extension.

[0008] Furthermore, the upper surface of the screen body is provided with a brush and a scraper. The brush is made of nylon bristles and fits into the surface of the screen body. The scraper is made of rubber and can move back and forth along the surface of the screen body.

[0009] The nylon brush attachment can clean residual glue on the screen surface in real time, preventing accumulation and clogging of the mesh; the rubber squeegee is both elastic and wear-resistant, and can evenly scrape and press the glue when moving back and forth, ensuring that the glue is accurately transferred to the workpiece through the mesh, effectively improving the uniformity of printing and the quality of the finished product.

[0010] Furthermore, the surface of the buckle is equipped with a micro switch, which can abut against the surface of the electromagnetic slot to control the power supply to and from the electromagnetic slot.

[0011] Furthermore, the vertical and horizontal frames of the main frame are both made of metal, and the vertical and horizontal frames are fixedly connected by a full welding process, with the welded surfaces being ground and polished.

[0012] The metal material ensures that the main frame can bear sufficient weight and is suitable for long-term industrial operations; the full welding process strengthens the connection strength and avoids deformation; grinding and polishing eliminates welding burrs, which not only prevents scratches to operators, but also reduces dust accumulation and improves the overall durability and cleanliness of the main frame.

[0013] Furthermore, the surface of the slider is hard chrome plated with a thickness of 0.05-0.1 mm; the inner wall roughness of the groove Ra≤0.8 μm, and the fitting clearance between the groove and the slider is 0.1-0.3 mm.

[0014] Smooth chutes and reasonable clearances reduce sliding resistance, prevent jamming, ensure smooth lifting and lowering of the wire mesh body along the chutes, and reduce component wear and frequency of maintenance.

[0015] Furthermore, the entrance of the recessed structure of the electromagnetic slot is provided with an arc guide. In automated connection, this can shorten the buckle alignment time, improve the adsorption efficiency of the electromagnetic slot, ensure a fast and stable connection between the rotating mechanism and the wire mesh body, and guarantee a smooth workflow.

[0016] Furthermore, the lifting cylinder is a double-acting single-piston rod cylinder, and the end of the push rod of the lifting cylinder is provided with a buffer sleeve, which is made of polyurethane.

[0017] The double-acting cylinder enables bidirectional stable drive of the wire mesh body, meeting the requirements for precise lifting; the polyurethane buffer sleeve can absorb the impact force at the end of the lifting process, avoid rigid collision between the cylinder push rod and the lifting ring, protect the components and reduce operating noise, and effectively extend the service life of the lifting mechanism.

[0018] Furthermore, the main body of the wire mesh includes an aluminum alloy frame and a wire mesh fixed inside the frame. The wire mesh material is nylon, the mesh count is 100-200 mesh, and the thickness of the aluminum alloy frame is 8-12mm. Anti-collision pads are provided at the corners of the frame, and the pads are made of nitrile rubber.

[0019] The aluminum alloy frame balances lightweight and rigidity to prevent deformation; the nylon mesh is compatible with adhesives of different viscosities to ensure printing accuracy; the nitrile rubber pads cushion impacts and prevent frame damage, and the overall structure is suitable for industrial batch printing needs.

[0020] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects.

[0021] This invention relates to an automated screen printing system for preventing glue dripping. By using a rotating mechanism to rotate the screen body so that residual glue faces upward, it fundamentally avoids glue dripping and contaminating the workpiece. It eliminates the need for frequent screen cleaning or replacement. Combined with a lifting mechanism and a synchronously retractable rotating mechanism, it achieves automated and continuous lifting and rotating of the screen body, significantly improving production efficiency.

[0022] The main frame is made of stainless steel and is fully welded for fixation. The slider surface is plated with hard chrome and fits precisely with the slide groove. The electromagnetic slot has a recessed structure with anti-slip texture to ensure stable and reliable system operation. At the same time, the brush can clean the screen and reduce glue accumulation. The anti-collision pads on the frame protect the components and further extend the service life of the equipment, which can meet the needs of industrial batch precision glue printing.
