[0002] A printing press is a device used to print text, images, or other content. It can transfer images or text onto paper, cloth, or other materials using various methods, such as lithography, gravure, and screen printing. Printing presses are widely used in the publishing, advertising, and packaging industries.

[0003] In the prior art, patent application number CN219489146U discloses a packaging box printing loading and unloading mechanism with an ink drying function, which relates to the field of printing equipment. The printing loading and unloading mechanism is intended to solve the technical problem that the uncured ink on the surface of the current packaging box cardboard is damaged during the loading and unloading process. The printing loading and unloading mechanism includes a frame, a printing press fixedly installed on the upper end of the frame, a conveyor belt driven from left to right is installed on the inner side of the frame, a door frame is fixedly connected to the upper end of the frame, the door frame is arranged on the right side of the printing press, and a triangular balance frame with an internal hollow interior is fixedly connected to the left side of the upper end of the door frame. A movable beam frame is horizontally arranged above the door frame and the balance frame, and several hot air blowers are installed on the upper end of the movable beam frame. The printing loading and unloading mechanism adopts a hot air blower arranged above the packaging box cardboard loading and unloading mechanism to blow hot air on the uncured ink on the surface of the cardboard, accelerate the drying of the ink, and prevent the ink pattern on the cardboard from being damaged due to the loading and unloading work and the stacking friction between the cardboards.

[0004] With respect to the above scheme, there are the following technical problems: during the printing process of the plate, the plate needs to be loaded and unloaded, and at this time a loading and unloading device for the printing press is required. Most of the loading and unloading devices for printing presses in the prior art place the printing press in the middle position of the conveyor belt, and use the conveyor belt to load and unload the printing press. However, when using this method, manual labor is required to move the plate in the box to the top of the conveyor belt before loading can be performed. The amount of manual labor required is too large, and the work efficiency is too low. Therefore, the loading and unloading device for the printing press in the prior art has the defect of requiring manual handling when loading. Utility Model Content

Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0021] See also Figure 1-5 The utility model provides a technical solution: a loading and unloading device for a printing press, comprising a dry offset printing machine 1 and a fixed frame 2, wherein the four corners of the lower surface of the fixed frame 2 are fixedly connected with support columns 3, a limit box 4 is provided in the middle position below the fixed frame 2, the dry offset printing machine 1 is fixedly connected to the inside of the limit box 4, a transmission structure 5 is provided inside the fixed frame 2, an electric push rod 6 is provided below the transmission structure 5, and the transmission structure 5 drives the electric push rod 6 to move.

[0022] The transmission structure 5 includes a servo motor 11 and a threaded rod 12. The interior of the fixed frame 2 is fixedly connected to a connecting box 13. The threaded rod 12 is arranged inside the connecting box 13. The servo motor 11 is fixedly connected to the outside of the fixed frame 2. The output end of the servo motor 11 passes through the fixed frame 2 and is fixedly connected to one end of the threaded rod 12. The other end of the threaded rod 12 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the connecting box 13. The surface of the threaded rod 12 is threadedly connected to a sliding block 14. The two ends of the sliding block 14 are slidably connected to the inner wall of the connecting box 13. The rotation of the threaded rod 12 drives the sliding block 14 to slide along the surface of the threaded rod 12. The lower end of the sliding block 14 passes through the connecting box 13 and is fixedly connected to the end of the electric push rod 6. The servo motor 11 is started to drive the threaded rod 12 to rotate. The rotation of the threaded rod 12 drives the sliding block 14 to slide along the surface of the threaded rod 12, and the sliding block 14 drives the electric push rod 6 to move.

[0023] The telescopic end of the electric push rod 6 is fixedly connected to a fixed plate 7, and the lower parts of both ends of the fixed plate 7 are fixedly connected to a connecting frame 8. Hollow blocks 9 are provided on both sides of the connecting frame 8, and a suction cup 10 is fixedly connected to the lower part of the hollow block 9, and the suction cup 10 is communicated with the hollow block 9.

[0024] Protective covers 15 are fixedly connected to both sides of the upper surface of the fixed plate 7, and an air pump 16 is fixedly connected to the inside of the protective cover 15. Both ends of the air pump 16 are fixedly connected to connecting pipes 17. The ends of the connecting pipes 17 pass through the protective cover 15 and extend to the outside of the protective cover 15. The ends of the connecting pipes 17 are fixedly connected to the top of the hollow block 9. The connecting pipes 17 are communicated with the hollow block 9. By setting the cooperation between the transmission structure 5 and the air pump 16, the suction cup 10 can be used to suck up the plate material to realize automatic loading and unloading of the printing press. Compared with the existing technology, there is no need to manually move the plates one by one to the top of the conveyor belt. Automatic loading and unloading can realize continuous and uninterrupted printing operations, avoiding the waiting and tedious operations of manual handling of the plates, thereby greatly improving production efficiency and reducing production time.

[0025] Start the electric push rod 6 to push the fixed plate 7 and the connecting frame 8 downward. When the suction cup 10 is moved to the upper surface of the plate, start the air pump 16. The air pump 16 sucks away the air in the suction cup 10 through the connecting pipe 17 and the hollow block 9. The suction cup 10 then sucks up the plate. Then start the electric push rod 6 to retract it. Start the servo motor 11 again to drive the sliding block 14 and the electric push rod 6 to move, and transport the plate to the top of the dry offset printing machine 1. Then start the electric push rod 6 to place the plate above the dry offset printing machine 1. Start the air pump 16 again to release the plate through the suction cup 10. Then start the dry offset printing machine 1 to print the plate. The device repeats this kind of work.

[0028] Instructions for use: First, use a forklift to transport the feed box 20 containing the plates to the inside of the positioning frame 22, and place the discharge box 21 under the fixed frame 2 on the side away from the feed box 20. Then start the servo motor 11 to drive the threaded rod 12 to rotate. The rotation of the threaded rod 12 drives the sliding block 14 to slide along the surface of the threaded rod 12, and the sliding block 14 drives the electric push rod 6 to move.

[0029] When the electric push rod 6 moves to the specified position, the electric push rod 6 is started to push the fixed plate 7 and the connecting frame 8 downward. When the suction cup 10 is moved to the upper surface of the plate, the air pump 16 is started. The air pump 16 sucks away the air in the suction cup 10 through the connecting pipe 17 and the hollow block 9. The suction cup 10 then sucks up the plate, and then the electric push rod 6 is started to retract. The servo motor 11 is started again to drive the sliding block 14 and the electric push rod 6 to move, and the plate is transported to the top of the dry offset printing machine 1. The electric push rod 6 is then started to place the plate above the dry offset printing machine 1, and the air pump 16 is started again to release the plate through the suction cup 10. The dry offset printing machine 1 is then started to print on the plate. The device repeats this kind of work.
