Description
Technical Field

[0002] In the tobacco industry, filter rods need to be packed into boxes, and multiple filter rods of the same specifications are placed in one box. Since filter rods have different specifications, the boxes need to be labeled. Boxes containing filter rods generally need to be manually labeled before they are put into storage. The small labels include information such as production date, specifications, and machine number. However, when small labels are manually affixed, there are risks of mis-labeling, mis-sticking, or missing labels.
[0003] In this regard, in order to solve the above problems, the prior art is designed to print the box body containing the filter rod for cigarettes through a printing device, but the printing device has the problem of blurred printing and poor printing quality. Specifically, the box body will be positionally offset during the transportation process, resulting in the problem of missing the code or spraying crookedly when the box body is sprayed. Even if the box body does not appear to be positionally offset, the printing end of the spray printer is facing the box body, but because the printing distance from each box body to the printing end of the spray printer is not fixed, the box body far from the printing end of the spray printer has a large code content and blurred handwriting, and the box body close to the printing end of the spray printer has a small code content and accumulated handwriting.

[0031] The printing device provided by the utility model has a clear printing effect and high printing stability after long-term use and promotion. In addition, the ink cartridge is used instead of label paper, which is green, efficient and low-cost. While saving paper resources and complying with green development, it also successfully reduces production costs. In this embodiment, the box body to be printed is a rectangular structure, and the inner cavity of the box body to be printed is used to place the filter rod for cigarettes. Figure 1 to Figure 2As shown, the printing device is configured to be arranged at the outlet of the confluence machine, and the printing device includes a conveying mechanism 1, a shaping mechanism 2 and a coding mechanism 3. The conveying mechanism 1 includes a frame 11 and a conveying assembly. The conveying assembly is arranged on the frame 11, and is used to convey the box body to be printed along a first direction; the shaping mechanism 2 includes two groups of first shaping assemblies 21, and the two groups of first shaping assemblies 21 are relatively arranged on both sides of the conveying assembly. The first shaping assembly 21 includes a first driving member 211 and a first enclosure member 212. The first driving member 211 is arranged on the frame 11, and the output end of the first driving member 211 drives the first enclosure member 212 to move along the second direction, which is used to limit the relative position of the box body to be printed, and the second direction is perpendicular to the first direction; the coding mechanism 3 is arranged on the frame 11, and is arranged downstream of the shaping mechanism 2 along the first direction, and is used to print codes on the box body to be printed. As shown Figure 1 As shown, the first direction is the X direction, the second direction is the Y direction, and the third direction is the Z direction. The boxes to be printed in different flow paths are merged into the same flow path through a confluence machine, and the printing device is set at the outlet of the confluence machine, so that full coverage of the printing of all boxes to be printed can be achieved. In the process of the conveying component conveying the box to be printed along the first direction, the two first driving members 211 respectively drive the two first enclosure members 212 to approach the box to be printed along the second direction, limit the relative position of the box to be printed, and ensure that when the coding mechanism 3 is coding the box to be printed, the distance from the coding end of the coding mechanism 3 to the box to be printed is the set distance, ensuring the clarity of the printing and making the printing quality better.
[0032] Optionally, in this embodiment, the conveying assembly can accommodate two boxes to be printed along the second direction, and two coding mechanisms 3 are provided, and the two coding mechanisms 3 are relatively arranged on both sides of the conveying assembly. With such an arrangement, two boxes to be printed can be printed at the same time, with high work efficiency, and the two coding mechanisms 3 can clamp the two boxes to be printed when printing at the same time, and the position of the boxes to be printed will not be offset when the coding mechanisms 3 are printing, which will affect the clarity of the printing.

When the conveying component is conveying the box body to be printed along the first direction, the output end of the second shaping component 22 moves along the third direction to abut against the front end of the box body to be printed in the moving direction, so that the box body to be printed stops moving and plays a role in shaping the front end of the box body to be printed in the moving direction. Then the two first driving members 211 respectively drive the two first blocking members 212 to abut against the two side ends of the box body to be printed in the moving direction along the second direction, so as to ensure that the distance from the coding end of the coding mechanism 3 to the box body to be printed is the set distance when the coding mechanism 3 is printing.

By providing two groups of moving assemblies 12, the two groups of moving assemblies 12 do not interfere with each other, and when the coding mechanism 3 codes the box body to be printed, it is not necessary to slow down or stop the speed of the entire conveying assembly, and the moving assembly 12 used to move the box body to be printed to the shaping mechanism 2 can continue to move the box body to be printed, thereby improving work efficiency. A gap is set between the two groups of moving components 12, and the second driving member 221 is set at the lower end of the frame 11. The second enclosure member 222 moves in the gap along the third direction. Such a setting saves space and has a compact structure. In other embodiments, the conveying assembly may include only one group of moving components 12, or the second driving member 221 may be set at the upper end of the frame 11, and the output end of the second driving member 221 is set downward.

Then the two first driving members 211 drive the two first blocking members 212 away from the box body to be printed. At this time, the control mechanism controls the coding mechanism 3 to clear the cache, and controls the package number recognition mechanism to recognize the package number on the box body to be printed and obtain the code corresponding to the package number, and transmit the code to the coding mechanism 3. Then the second blocking member 222 descends, and the control mechanism controls the two coding mechanisms 3 to print the outer ends of the two box bodies to be printed respectively. After the printing is completed, another group of moving components 12 moves the box body to be printed out of the coding mechanism 3.
