Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the IPC classification A63F card game products or B41M printing and marking process or B26F punching, cutting and blanking technology field, and particularly relates to a plate-making die-cutting card printing plate that is more suitable for a card sorting machine. A cross-line marking group is arranged in the plate-making middle area for effective auxiliary calibration of the card sorting machine. Background Art
[0002] The imposition printing and sorting of game cards are indispensable links in the production process of game cards, and have a vital impact on the quality and selling points of the product.
[0003] Card imposition printing is the process of printing multiple card patterns on a printing plate to improve printing efficiency and reduce costs. In this process, it is necessary to ensure the accurate position and color reproduction of each card pattern. After printing, post-processing such as cutting and die-cutting is required to obtain individual cards. Card sorting is to sort the printed cards according to a certain order and rules for subsequent packaging and sales. The card sorting process may include checking the quality and quantity of the cards, and arranging them in a specific order or category.
[0004] The printing and sorting of game card products usually require professional printing equipment and technicians to ensure the quality and efficiency of the products. At the same time, in order to ensure the quality and selling points of the products, printing manufacturers usually work closely with game card designers or publishers to ensure that the printing effect meets the design requirements and can meet market demand. In addition, game card products also require strict quality control and inspection to ensure that the quality of each card meets the requirements. In the card sorting process, the cards also need to be carefully inspected and sorted to ensure that each card meets the expected quality standards and avoid errors or defective products.
[0005] Card sorting can also help producers count and package cards for subsequent sales and distribution. The card sorting process is related to the quality and user experience of game card products.
[0006] Patent application number 202222258968.7 A card automatic sorting machine includes a first slitting mechanism, a steering roller table and a second slitting mechanism. The steering roller table includes a frame and a conveyor roller. The upper end face of the frame is a rectangular structure. The first slitting mechanism and the second slitting mechanism are respectively arranged on the two adjacent first and second sides of the upper end face of the frame, and a baffle is also provided on the third side opposite to the first side of the frame. The conveyor roller is laid on the upper end face of the frame, and is used to transport the material processed by the first slitting mechanism to the second slitting mechanism for processing, and the axis of the conveyor roller is at an acute angle to the third side wall. When the conveyor roller is transporting the material, the conveyor roller transports the material toward the direction of the second slitting mechanism while keeping one side of the material in close contact with the baffle at all times, so that the material will not be offset when it is transported to the second slitting mechanism, thereby preventing the second slitting mechanism from cutting the material off-center.
[0007] Since the card design has a frame structure, according to the existing technical specifications for plate design and plate processing, commonly used auxiliary reference marks include corner lines, center lines, boundary lines, etc., to provide more accurate positioning information. In the process of sorting cards, only the corner lines designed and printed outside the edge of the plate are used as references. This is more helpful for sorting cards in the edge area of the plate, but the positioning reference value for die-cutting and sorting cards in the center area of the plate is limited. In fact, due to the lack of positioning references in the center area of the plate, it is easy to cause large errors in the card sorting process, making it impossible to avoid defects such as inaccurate card position, large and small edges, and card position offset during processing. In the process of sorting cards, if only the corner lines are used as references, it may indeed lead to inaccurate card position, large and small edges, position offset, and large errors. Utility Model Content
[0008] The technical problem to be solved by the utility model is that the existing card plate arrangement has limited processing quality due to the lack of necessary reference in the central area.
[0009] In view of the above problems and technical requirements, the utility model proposes a die-cut card printing plate with enhanced auxiliary calibration of cross lines in the middle area of the card sorting machine, so as to simply achieve the required research objectives and functions.
[0010] To this end, the utility model includes: a printing plate and a central cross groove line. A core die-cutting area is set in the middle of the printing plate, and a plurality of cards are arranged in a vertical and horizontal array structure in the core die-cutting area; the longitudinal edges and horizontal edges of the printing plate are respectively provided with longitudinal column marks and horizontal column marks corresponding to the longitudinal and horizontal dividing lines of the vertical and horizontal array structure; a central cross groove line is set in the core die-cutting area, that is, at the center of the die-cutting dividing area surrounded by a plurality of cards arranged vertically and horizontally; the central cross groove line has two standard line segments that are perpendicular to each other and orthogonal, and the four outward extending directions of the two line segments are respectively aligned with the corresponding longitudinal column marks and horizontal column marks.
[0011] The bottom of the printing plate 1 is provided with an auxiliary lighting or auxiliary positioning laser projected upward, and the central cross groove line has a hollow groove structure. The line segment of the central cross groove line is required to be 0.5-2.0 mm long, 0.2-0.25 mm wide, and uniform in width, and the inner wall is vertical and flat; further, the central cross groove line is filled with transparent glue or colloidal quick-drying ink.
[0012] A central cross groove line array is evenly arranged in a core die-cutting area in the middle of the full-page printing plate.
[0013] The central cross groove line is provided with a central positioning mark in the shape of a circular hole at the central intersection position. Further, the central positioning mark is filled with transparent glue or colloidal quick-drying ink.
[0014] The central cross groove line is provided with a central positioning mark in the shape of a square hole at the central intersection position. Further, the central positioning mark is filled with transparent glue or colloidal quick-drying ink.
[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the utility model are:
[0016] A more accurate alignment reference mark system is introduced in the middle area of the plate, and a cross-line auxiliary verification mark is set in the middle area of the plate to ensure that the cards with borders on the plate core of the plate can be accurately aligned during the card sorting process. On this basis, by combining the optimization of precise positioning control and adjusting the working parameters of the card sorting machine, the problem of accidental displacement and mutual occlusion of cards can be effectively avoided. Moreover, it also better and effectively supports the use of sensors to detect the position of the card borders and automatically adjust the position and direction of the cards to achieve perfect stacking. In addition to maximizing the use of printing materials, reducing waste and reducing costs, it is more important that after the technical solution of the utility model is improved and innovated, the automatic mechanical actuator can more accurately locate and complete the operation during the card sorting process. It is beneficial to achieve high-quality mass production and improve lean production efficiency. Ensure the accuracy and consistency of card sorting, improve and ensure the quality of product packaging, and the card sorting action is simpler, smoother and more convenient to operate.

If the words "a" or "an" appear, they should be interpreted as including one or at least one, and elements or components in the singular form also include plural forms, unless the number is obviously intended to be in the singular form.
[0029] In the description of the present invention, the terms "center", "up", "down", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "inside", "outside", etc. indicate directions or positional relationships based on the directions or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings, or are the directions or positional relationships in which the utility model product is usually placed when in use.

[0030] For those skilled in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present utility model can be understood according to specific circumstances.
[0031] The principle of the utility model is that, in order to ensure the accuracy of the card arrangement position, introducing a cross line as a reference object in the card layout stage is an effective strategy.
[0032] The printing process has an important impact on the production efficiency and cost control of game cards. In order to accurately sort the cards, it was found through research and experiments that a cross-line reference should be added to the cross angle position of the rough size in the middle of each mold when the cards are plated, so that the card sorting machine can effectively find the correct position when sorting the cards later. Further research found that the different structures and methods of making the cross-line reference have a greater impact on the application effect. By setting a clear cross-line reference mark at the appropriate position of the rough size cross angle in the middle of each mold, a clear and recognizable positioning aid can be provided for the subsequent card sorting process.
[0033] In the utility model, by further adding reference objects, optimizing the visual recognition system, improving mechanical accuracy, introducing sensor feedback, strengthening operator training and improving the card sorting algorithm, the problems caused by having only corner lines as reference objects in the card sorting process can be more effectively solved, which will further improve the accuracy and efficiency of the card sorting.
[0034] The utility model comprises: a printing plate 1 and a central cross groove line 3.
[0035] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the solution of the utility model, the technical solution in the embodiment of the utility model will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiment of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiment is only a part of the embodiment of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiment of the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work should fall within the scope of protection of the utility model.
[0036] The present invention will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be noted that, in the absence of conflict, the embodiments and features in the embodiments of the present invention can be combined with each other. The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and in conjunction with the embodiments.
[0037] Although the embodiments of the present invention are described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, those skilled in the art may make various modifications and variations without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention, and such modifications and variations are all within the scope defined by the appended claims.
[0038] Embodiment 1: As attached Figure 1As shown, a core die-cutting area 2 is provided in the middle of the printing plate 1, and a plurality of cards 7 are arranged in a vertical and horizontal array structure; a vertical column mark 4 and a horizontal column mark 5 are provided at the vertical and horizontal edges of the printing plate 1 corresponding to the vertical and horizontal dividing lines of the vertical and horizontal array structure; a corner mark 6 is provided at the corner of the printing plate 1, i.e., outside the core die-cutting area 2; the key is that, as shown in the attached figure, Figure 2 As shown, a central cross groove line 3 is set in the die-cutting area 2 of the core, that is, the center position of the die-cutting dividing area surrounded by multiple cards 7 arranged vertically and horizontally; the central cross groove line 3 has two standard line segments that are perpendicular to each other and orthogonal to each other, and the four outward extending directions of the two line segments are respectively aligned with the corresponding longitudinal column mark 4 and transverse column mark 5. Usually, a color mark is also set on the longitudinal edge of the printing plate 1.
[0039] In the above, under the condition that the card sorting station is equipped with auxiliary lighting or auxiliary positioning laser projected upward from the bottom of the printing plate 1, as shown in the attached Figure 3 As shown, the center cross groove line 3 has a hollow groove structure. The line segment of the center cross groove line 3 is required to be 0.5-2.0 mm long, 0.2-0.25 mm wide, and uniform in width, and the inner wall is vertical and flat; further, the center cross groove line 3 is filled with transparent glue.
[0040] In the foregoing, as attached Figure 4 As shown, an array of central cross groove lines 3 is evenly arranged in a die-cutting area 2 provided in the middle of a full-page printing plate 1.
[0041] In the embodiment of the utility model, the central cross groove line 3 is equivalent to leading out multiple groups of extension lines of the longitudinal column mark 4 and the transverse column mark 5 in the die-cutting area 2 of the plate core and forming a cross intersection, and the central cross groove line 3 arranged at the cross intersection of this series of array arrangements constitutes an auxiliary reference system in the die-cutting area 2 of the plate core.
[0042] In the embodiment of the utility model, sensors such as position sensors and pressure sensors are installed at key positions of the card sorting machine to monitor various parameters in real time during the card sorting process.

High-precision platemaking equipment and processes are used to ensure the stability and consistency of the cross line position.
[0043] In the embodiment of the utility model, further, if possible, a machine vision system is introduced to assist the card sorting process. The image of the cards is captured by a camera, and the position and posture of the cards are identified by an image processing algorithm. According to the feedback of the visual recognition system, the position and movement of the card sorting mechanism are automatically adjusted to ensure that the cards can be accurately aligned and stacked.
[0044] In the embodiment of the utility model, the central cross groove line 3 has sufficient contrast and clarity so that it can be easily identified during the card sorting process.

[0049] In the embodiment of the utility model, in the operation of the card sorting machine with laser precise positioning, in the case of the need for high-precision printing and die-cutting card sorting, the center positioning mark 8 is used as a reference to further improve the accuracy of card sorting. In addition to positioning the vertical and horizontal die-cutting card sorting operations, the circular hole-shaped center positioning mark 8 can also be used as the center of the circle to accurately measure and control the distance between it and the corner frame of each surrounding card 7, so that the frame and corner of each card 7 remain uniform, continuous, accurate, standard and consistent.
[0050] Embodiment 3: As attached Figure 6 As shown, a center positioning mark 8 in the shape of a square hole is provided at the center intersection position of the center cross groove line 3 .
[0051] In the aforementioned, further, the center positioning mark 8 is filled with transparent glue.
[0052] In the embodiment of the utility model, in the operation of the card sorting machine with laser precise positioning, in the case of the need for high-precision printing and die-cutting card sorting, the center positioning mark 8 is used as a reference to further improve the accuracy of card sorting. In addition to positioning the vertical and horizontal die-cutting card sorting operations, the extension line of the center square side wall of the square hole-shaped center positioning mark 8 can also be used as the precise composite positioning of the inner and outer edges of the border line of the card 7, so that the border and corners of each card 7 remain uniform, continuous, accurate, standard and consistent.
[0053] In addition, under the condition that the auxiliary lighting is projected downward, the alternatives of this embodiment also include: quick-drying fine ink, and invisible ink, UV markers or RFID tags, etc. These alternatives can provide additional positioning information without affecting the visibility of the card.
[0054] For those skilled in the art, the above embodiments are merely examples for more clearly explaining the technical solution, and are not intended to limit the implementation of the present utility model. Other different forms of replacement or changes can also be made based on the above description. In order to avoid exhaustively listing all implementations that are not necessary and cannot be fully listed, the derived contents may be within the scope of protection of the present utility model.
