[0030] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, rather than all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0031] In the description of the present invention, it should be understood that the terms "longitudinal", "lateral", "length", "width", "thickness", "up", "down", "front", "back", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inside", "outside" and the like indicate orientations or positional relationships based on the orientations or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the referred device or element must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be understood as a limitation on the present invention.

[0032] In the process of printing cartons with an environmentally friendly printing press, the inventor of the present application found that:

[0033] Some inks contain high solvent content or slow evaporation speed, which will lead to longer drying time, especially for cartons that need to be printed on a large area. The printed ink is not easy to dry at room temperature. The thickness of the ink layer will also affect the drying time. A thicker ink layer will take longer to dry completely, and the inside will still be damp. Some carton materials have high ink absorption, which causes the ink to stay on the surface of the carton for too long and is difficult to dry quickly. If the undried ink is subjected to pressure during contact or friction, it will be scratched or damaged, resulting in incomplete printing patterns, uneven colors or blurring, and migration to other cartons during stacking or transportation of cartons, causing contamination or blurring of printed products.

[0034] Furthermore, in order to improve the various defects in the above-mentioned prior art, the embodiment of the present application proposes a carton environmentally friendly printing machine, which solves the problem that the ink is not easy to dry during the carton printing process, and can limit and fix the carton during the drying process.

[0035] Combination Figures 1 to 5 The illustrated carton environmental protection printing machine includes a device body 1, which is the main part of the printing machine and includes other components and mechanical structures. A conveyor belt 2 is arranged inside the device body 1. The conveyor belt 2 is used to transport the cardboard that has been printed with patterns in the previous process. The conveyor belt 2 transfers the cardboard from one process to the next process. A pressing roller 7 and a drying device are arranged above the conveyor belt 2. The drying device is used to dry the ink printed on the cardboard. A screw 3 is rotatably arranged inside the device body 1. The screw 3 is provided with a first threaded portion 301 and a second threaded portion 302. The first threaded portion 301 and the second threaded portion 302 have opposite thread directions. A pressing roller 7 is arranged on each of the first threaded portion 301 and the second threaded portion 302. The pressing roller 7 is used for rolling contact with the conveyor belt 2. The function of the pressing roller 7 is to limit and guide the cardboard transported on the conveyor belt 2 during the drying process and provide appropriate pressure. The two pressing rollers 7 can move toward each other / backward at the same time, and each pressing roller 7 can move in a direction perpendicular to the horizontal plane.

[0036] In the above structure, it can be understood that the screw rod 3 is provided with a first threaded portion 301 and a second threaded portion 302, and the thread directions of the first and second threaded portions 301 and 302 are opposite to each other. This design can realize the movement of the two pressing rollers 7 toward or away from each other, so as to be suitable for paperboards of different widths and sizes. Each pressing roller 7 can move in a direction perpendicular to the horizontal plane, so that the contact force and position between the pressing roller 7 and the conveyor belt 2 can be adjusted to adapt to different paperboard sizes and thicknesses.

[0037] The design of the above-mentioned carton environmentally friendly printing machine provided in the implementation of this application is intended to realize the printing and drying process of the cardboard through steps such as conveying, pressure roller 7 and drying device, and to guide and control the transportation of the cardboard through the movement of the screw 3 and the pressure roller 7, thereby improving production efficiency and printing quality.

[0038] In some embodiments provided in the present application, regarding the positions of the screw rod 3 and the drying device, two rotatable screw rods 3 are installed inside the device body 1, and a handle 11 is fixedly connected to one side of each screw rod 3, and the drying device is located between the two screw rods 3. Figure 3 and Figure 4 , Figure 3 It is a schematic diagram of the above printing device in which the conveyor belt 2 transports the carton, the pressure roller 7 fixes the carton, and the drying device dries the ink. Figure 4 It is a schematic diagram of the above-mentioned printing device in which the pressure roller 7 is installed on the screw 3 and the two pressure rollers 7 move simultaneously by rotating the handle 11. The screws 3 located on both sides of the drying device are threadedly installed with pressure rollers 7. The pressure rollers 7 are in rolling contact with the cardboard transported on the conveyor belt 2 to limit and guide the moving position of the cardboard. By rotating the handle 11, the support frames 6 are moved toward / away from each other at the same time, thereby adjusting the distance between the two pressure rollers 7. For example, by rotating the handle 11 clockwise, the support frames 6 threadedly connected to different threaded parts of the screw 3 move away from each other at the same time. The drying device is used to dry the ink on the cardboard during transportation.

[0039] In some embodiments provided in the present application, for the pressure rollers 7 that are threadedly connected with different spiral rotation directions, more specifically, a round rod 4 is arranged near each screw 3 in the equipment body 1, and the central axis of any round rod 4 is parallel to the central axis of the screw 3. The function of these round rods 4 is to provide a basis for support and sliding connection.

[0040] The first threaded portion 301 and the second threaded portion 302 of each screw rod 3 are connected with a support frame 6, which is connected to the screw rod 3 by threads and is slidably connected to the round rod 4. The function of the support frame 6 is to maintain the stability and balance of the pressure roller 7.

[0041] Each support frame 6 is provided with a retractable connecting rod on the side facing the conveyor belt 2. These connecting rods can be retracted and moved as needed, and the retracted and moved direction is perpendicular to the horizontal plane. The purpose of this design is to enable the pressure roller 7 to adapt to cardboards of different sizes and thicknesses. A pressure roller 7 is rotatably connected to the bottom of each telescopic rod. These pressure rollers 7 can adjust their contact force and position with the conveyor belt 2 through the movement of the telescopic rod to adapt to the limiting requirements of different cardboards.

[0042] On the basis of the above, regarding the structure of the telescopic rod connected between the support frame 6 and the pressure roller 7, as shown in FIG. Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, in some feasible embodiments, the telescopic rod includes a first connecting rod 8 and a second connecting rod 9, wherein: the first connecting rod 8 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the support frame 6, and the second connecting rod 9 is sleeved on the first connecting rod 8, and the pressure roller 7 is rotatably connected to the bottom of the second connecting rod 9; a spring 10 is sleeved on the outer surface of the first connecting rod 8, and the spring 10 is located between the second connecting rod 9 and the support frame 6, and the function of the spring 10 is to provide pressure to keep the pressure roller 7 in proper contact with the conveyor belt 2. When the pressure roller 7 is in rolling contact with the conveyor belt 2, the spring 10 is in a compressed state, and its pressure is toward the pressure roller 7, so that appropriate pressure can be applied to the cardboard to achieve a good embossing effect.

[0043] Through the above structural design, it can be understood that when the pressure roller 7 contacts the conveyor belt 2, the spring 10 is in a compressed state, providing appropriate pressure, which can ensure good contact between the pressure roller 7 and the cardboard. At the same time, the presence of the spring 10 can also reduce excessive pressure on the cardboard and prevent the printed pattern on the cardboard from being scratched. Such a structure can provide stable pressure control during the printing process and realize the limiting and guiding effect on the cardboard on the conveyor belt 2.

[0044] In some feasible embodiments provided in the embodiments of the present application, for example Figures 1 to 3 As shown, regarding the above-mentioned drying device for drying printing ink on cardboard, the drying device includes an air outlet pipe 5, and the central axis of the air outlet pipe 5 is parallel to the central axis of the screw 3. Such a design can stabilize the relative position of the air outlet pipe 5 and the screw 3, which is convenient for the coordinated drying process. A plurality of air outlets are evenly arranged on the air outlet pipe 5, and the air outlet direction of the air outlet is toward the conveyor belt 2. The evenly distributed air outlets can ensure that the entire cardboard surface can be fully dried, so that the hot air can directly contact the cardboard surface and improve the drying effect. The function of the air outlet is to blow the hot air evenly to the cardboard surface on the conveyor belt 2 to accelerate the drying process of the printing ink. Regarding the bellows connected to the air outlet pipe 5 and other similar devices for air supply, this application does not limit it.

[0045] In the embodiment of the present application, the cardboard printed in the previous printing process is placed on the conveyor belt 2, the handle 11 is rotated, and the distance between the pressure rollers 7 is adjusted according to the size and width of the cardboard. The conveyor belt 2 transports the cardboard to the bottom of the pressure roller 7 and rolls on the pressure roller 7. The drying device is started, and the multiple air outlets in the air outlet pipe 5 of the drying device evenly blow hot air to the surface of the cardboard. The hot air accelerates the drying process of the printing ink through the air outlet, so that the printing ink on the cardboard is quickly dried. The cardboard is continuously transported in the drying area, and the hot air is continuously blown. After the drying is completed, the cardboard continues to be transported to the next working area through the conveyor belt 2 for subsequent processing or packaging.

[0046] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. The patent protection scope of the present invention shall be based on the claims. All equivalent structural changes made using the description and drawings of the present invention shall be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
