[0083] The lifting mechanism 4 mentioned above realizes fixing the distance between the lower surface of the workpiece and the camera surface, and there is no need to adjust the focal length of the camera 415 for workpieces of different heights.
[0084] The vacuum suction mechanism includes a cylinder 420 and a guide block 403 arranged on the lower surface of the glass support plate 402.

[0086] The lower surface of the glass support plate 402 is also provided with a cylinder 420, and a square step hole is provided on the cylinder connecting rod 417, and the square step hole can be connected with the cylinder piston rod. The end of the cylinder piston rod is embedded in the square step hole to avoid that there is only one screw hole, and the cylinder connecting rod 417 and the cylinder piston rod are loosened and rotated after a long time.
[0087] The cylinder connecting rod is specifically L-shaped and has a 4mm through hole; there is a threaded hole at the bottom of the through hole, which can be used to install a pipe joint and connect a vacuum air source through the pipe joint; there is an O-ring groove at the top of the through hole, which can be used to install a sealing O-ring to achieve locking of the rocker arm 418 and the cylinder connecting rod 417 without leakage.
[0088] In this embodiment, the cylinder 420 is specifically a rotary clamping cylinder.

[0091] The vacuum air source passes through the cylinder connecting rod 417, the rocker rod 418, and the sealing ring 419 in sequence, so that the workpiece reaches a suitable vacuum degree.
[0092] The guide block 403 is also installed on the lower surface of the glass support plate 402, and can guide the cylinder connecting rod 417 to ensure that the sealing ring 419 is accurately inserted into the inner hole of the circular hole of the glass 401.
[0093] The dynamic process of the above-mentioned vacuum suction mechanism is as follows: the cylinder 420 rotates and clamps upwards in the first half of the stroke, and only clamps upwards in the second half of the stroke. When the workpiece needs to be vacuumed, the cylinder 420 moves, driving the cylinder connecting rod 417, the swing rod 418, and the sealing ring 419 to move together, so that the sealing ring 419 penetrates into the inner hole of the glass 401 and fits tightly with the workpiece, and then the vacuum source is used to evacuate the workpiece to achieve the required vacuum degree. After the vacuum suction is completed, the cylinder 420 moves again to avoid the space.

[0099] 2. The printing platform of this embodiment has no positioning mechanism, and there is no need to consider the positioning reference shape of the workpiece. The image is acquired by the camera to identify the coordinates of the workpiece;
[0100] 3. It is applicable when the workpiece height is greater than the thickness of the support plate and less than the adjustment stroke of the lifting mechanism;
[0101] 4. The printing platform of this embodiment realizes a fixed distance between the lower surface of the workpiece and the camera surface, and a clear image can still be obtained without considering the height of the workpiece or adjusting the focal length of the camera;
[0102] 5. The printing platform of this embodiment does not need manual adjustment. It only needs to input the workpiece code on the touch screen, and the platform can automatically adjust to adapt to the corresponding workpiece, which is easy for operators to operate.
