Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to an inkjet printing positioning device and printing equipment, belonging to the technical field of printing equipment. Background Art

[0002] At present, with the growing demand for personalized home decoration, the market prospects of ceramic tile inkjet printers are broad. This printer can achieve high-resolution and high-precision ceramic tile pattern printing, bringing new development opportunities to the ceramic tile industry. With the continuous development of technology, the market demand for ceramic tile inkjet printers will continue to grow, with huge market potential.

[0003] After searching, it was found that the Chinese patent with publication number CN211684167U disclosed a self-discharging inkjet printer for ceramic production. In this patent, the inkjet printer body is installed on the mounting frame, and the ceramic material is conveyed by the belt conveyor. The transfer mechanism is responsible for conveying the ceramic material from the belt conveyor to the inkjet printer body. When the ceramic material reaches the inkjet printer body, the motor drives the toothless gear to rotate, thereby driving the rotating shaft and the transmission gear to rotate. The transmission gear meshes with the toothless gear so that the carrier plate rotates with the rotating shaft. When the carrier plate rotates to a specific position, the lifting cylinder drives the mounting plate to descend, so that the electric mechanical claw grabs the ceramic material. Subsequently, the lifting cylinder drives the mounting plate to rise and transports the ceramic material to the inkjet printer body for printing. After printing is completed, the mounting plate descends again, the electric mechanical claw releases the ceramic material, and the material is conveyed to the next process through the belt conveyor. However, when the ceramic material is conveyed from the belt conveyor to the inkjet printer, no positioning adjustment is performed, which may result in poor printing effect and make the produced ceramic materials unable to be pieced together into a complete pattern.
