[0047] In the assembly line transportation of large and fragile products, the transfer module needs to transfer between two stations when transferring the product from the transport line to the positioning station. It is impossible to achieve a perfect connection between the two carrying stations. There is a large space for movement, or a new module is needed to achieve product placement. The fragile nature of glass products results in a longer transportation path and a higher scrap rate. In addition, in the existing inkjet technology, both the inkjet equipment and the curing equipment lack a certain degree of flexibility.

[0048] To solve the above problems, the present application discloses a positioning inkjet device, which is interspersed between positioning platforms through a transplanting module. When the transplanting module descends to a height lower than the positioning platform, the product falls on the positioning platform, and the transplanting module continues to move downward and separates from the product. There is no need to add a new module to transport the product from the transplanting module to the positioning module, which greatly shortens the path of product circulation between different workstations, greatly reduces the risk of product damage due to transportation, and greatly improves production efficiency. Multiple inkjet mechanisms are connected by a side-by-side sliding connection, and the direction of the curing mechanism is adjustable, which greatly improves the flexibility of the positioning inkjet device, which will be explained below through specific embodiments.

[0049] like Figure 1 As shown, the above-mentioned positioning inkjet device includes a first machine 1 and a second machine 2, the first machine 1 is connected to the second machine 2, wherein the second machine 2 includes a frame 20, a transplanting module 21, a positioning platform 22 and an inkjet mechanism 23, wherein the frame 20 includes a base frame 200 and a gantry 201, the base frame 200 is a cubic structure, the positioning platform 22 is fixedly arranged on the base frame 200, the transplanting module 21 is slidably connected to the positioning platform 22, the gantry 201 is arranged on both sides of the base frame 200 (with a certain height), the inkjet mechanism 23 is slidably connected to both ends of the gantry 201, after the transplanting module 21 transports the product to the top of the positioning platform 22, the transplanting module 21 descends until the height of the transplanting module 21 in the vertical direction is lower than the positioning platform 22, the product falls from the transplanting module 21 to the positioning platform 22, and then the positioning platform 22 clamps and positions the product, and the inkjet mechanism 23 sprays ink on the product in the X direction.

[0050] like Figure 2As shown, the transplanting mechanism 21 includes a transplanting track 211, a first driving mechanism 212, a support rod 213, a first connecting plate 214 and a lifting mechanism 215, wherein the support rod 213 connects a plurality of transplanting tracks 211 (three are used as an example in this embodiment) into a whole, the first connecting plate 214 is arranged at the bottom of the support rod 213, the driving end of the first driving mechanism 212 is connected to the first connecting plate 214, the first driving mechanism 212 is arranged on one side of a group of transplanting tracks 211, and drives the plurality of transplanting tracks 211 to work synchronously. Specifically, the plurality of support rods 213 are connected to the bottom of the plurality of transplanting tracks 211, and the plurality of support rods 213 form a frame at the bottom of the transplanting tracks 211 to support the plurality of transplanting tracks 211. The first connecting plate 214 is arranged at the support rod 2 13, the driving end of the lifting mechanism 215 is connected to the first connecting plate 214, the first connecting plate 214 supports a plurality of transplanting tracks 211 connected by support rods 213 to form an integral whole, and the first connecting plate 214 is arranged at the bottom of the support rod 213 so that when the lifting mechanism 215 is lifted, the frame formed by the plurality of support rods 213 is subjected to a stable force, so that the transplanting track 211 has better stability when rising or falling, and rollers are arranged at both ends of the transplanting track 211, and belt lines are tightly sleeved on the outer sides of the rollers at both ends, and the rollers at one end of the plurality of transplanting tracks 211 are connected in series through a screw rod, and one end of the screw rod is connected to the driving end of the first driving mechanism 212, and the first driving mechanism 212 drives the plurality of transplanting tracks 211 to work synchronously through the screw rod. This technology is a prior art and will not be described in detail.

[0051] like Figure 3As shown, the positioning platform 22 includes a first carrier plate 221, a second carrier plate 222, and a propulsion mechanism 223. The first carrier plate 221 and the second carrier plate 222 form a square plane. The propulsion mechanism 223 is arranged around the first carrier plate 221 and the second carrier plate 222. On the first carrier plate 221, multiple propulsion mechanisms 223 have a tendency to move relative to each other in the Y direction (when the propulsion mechanism is in the initial state, the entire mechanism is in the first carrier plate 221. When it moves, it needs to be lifted in the Z direction first and then move in the Y direction, otherwise it returns to the initial state). Specifically, the first carrier plate 221 is provided with multiple groups (two are taken as an example in this embodiment), two first carrier plates 221 and 223 are provided with a plurality of groups. The plates 221 are arranged in parallel and spaced apart, and a propulsion mechanism 223 is provided at both ends of each first carrier plate 221. The first carrier plate 221 is in the shape of a rectangular parallelepiped, and a position-avoiding groove is provided at both ends thereof. The propulsion mechanism 223 can be accommodated in the position-avoiding groove 223. A total of four propulsion mechanisms 223 are provided for the two first carrier plates 221. The second carrier plate 222 is provided with multiple groups (two are taken as an example in this embodiment). Multiple first carrier plates 221 form a first carrier, and the second carrier plate 222 is arranged on both sides of the first carrier plate 221 in the X direction, and the second carrier plate 222 is spaced apart from the first carrier plate 221, and the propulsion mechanism 223 is arranged in the position-avoiding groove on the second carrier plate 222 (the principle is the same as the first The supporting plates are the same and will not be described in detail). On the second supporting plate 222, multiple propulsion mechanisms 223 have a tendency to move relative to each other in the X direction (when the propulsion mechanism is in the initial state, the entire mechanism is in the first supporting plate 221. When it moves, it needs to be lifted in the Z direction first and then move in the Y direction. Otherwise, it returns to the initial state). The number of first supporting plates 221 is determined by the length of the product in the X direction, and the length of the product in the Y direction determines the number of propulsion mechanisms 223 set on the second supporting plate 222. Multiple groups of propulsion mechanisms 223 are arranged in a rectangular array. The product is placed on the first supporting plate 221 and the second supporting plate 222, and the propulsion mechanisms 223 are arranged in a rectangular array. Enclosed in a rectangular array, it should be noted that a pulley is provided at the driving end of the propulsion mechanism 223. When the product falls from the transplanting module 21 onto the positioning mechanism 22, the product position does not meet the conditions for inkjet printing. A detection mechanism (sensor, which is a prior art and will not be described in detail) is provided on the propulsion mechanism 223. When the product is placed directly above the detection propulsion mechanism 223, the equipment cannot work normally and an alarm is sounded. The product is placed in an appropriate position manually. When the driving end of the propulsion mechanism 223 abuts against the product and pushes it, the product will rub against the driving end of the propulsion mechanism 223 on both sides of the propulsion direction. Providing a pulley can reduce the friction between the equipment and the product and improve the quality of the product.

[0052] Combination Figure 2 and Figure 3In this embodiment, there are two first bearing plates 221. Since the two first bearing plates 221 are spaced apart, the gap between the two first bearing plates 221 is defined as a lifting channel in this solution. There is also a gap between the two second bearing plates 222 and the first bearing plate 221. Similarly, the gap between the two is also positioned as a lifting channel. The number of transplanting rails 211 matches the number of lifting channels. The transplanting rails 211 are arranged in the lifting channel and move in the Z direction in the lifting channel. Specifically, the outermost two transplanting rails 211 are slidably connected to the second bearing plates 222. The lifting mechanism 215 is arranged on the bottom frame 200 below the first connecting plate 214. The lifting mechanism 21 The transplanting module 21 is driven to move in the Z direction along the lifting channel. It should be noted that the movement range of the transplanting track 211 in the Z direction is between slightly higher than the upper surface of the positioning platform 22 and slightly lower than the upper surface of the positioning platform 22. When the product is placed on the transplanting track 211, the transplanting track 211 descends until the product falls on the surface of the positioning platform 22 and separates from the transplanting track 211, and the descending work is completed. Conversely, the transplanting track 211 rises until the lifted product separates from the surface of the positioning platform 22, and the ascending work is completed. On the premise that the product is completely placed on the transplanting track 211 or the surface of the positioning platform 22, the maximum stroke of the transplanting track 211 is limited. The shorter the stroke, the more stable the transportation of the product.

[0053] like Figure 4The inkjet mechanism 23 includes a transverse plate 231, a second driving mechanism 232, a second connecting plate 233, an inkjet cartridge 234, a curing mechanism 235 and a cleaning mechanism. Both ends of the transverse plate 231 are slidably connected to the gantry 201 through slide rails. The transverse plate 231 can move in the X direction. The second driving mechanism 232 is arranged on the transverse plate 231. The second connecting plate 233 is arranged at the driving end of the second driving mechanism 232. The second driving mechanism 232 can drive the second connecting plate 233 to move in the Z direction. Both ends of the second connecting plate 233 are connected to the transverse plate 231 through slide rails, which plays a certain guiding role for the second connecting plate 233 to move in the Z direction. A plurality of inkjet cartridges 234 are provided, and any inkjet cartridge 234 can be adjustably connected to the second connecting plate 233, so that the distance between adjacent inkjet cartridges 234 is adjustable. The curing mechanism 235 is arranged on the transverse plate 231, and the curing mechanism 235 includes a fixing member 2351 and a curing group Part 2352, the fixing part is fixedly connected to the horizontal plate 231, and the fixing part 2351 is a U-shaped opening design, one end of the curing component 2352 is arranged in the U-shaped opening of the fixing part 2351, and the direction of the curing component 2352 in the U-shaped opening of the fixing part 2351 is adjustable. Specifically, the U-shaped opening of the fixing part 2351 is respectively provided with a fixing hole and an arc groove on both sides, and one end of the curing component 2352 is respectively provided with a rotating rod on both sides, and the rotating rod is respectively passed through the fixing hole and the arc groove. Functionally, the fixing hole provides a rotation center for the curing component 2352 in rotation, and the arc groove provides a rotation space and direction for the curing component in rotation. A cleaning mechanism is arranged on the horizontal plate 231 (not shown in the figure), which is used for dust removal before inkjet printing of the product, wherein the curing component 2352 is a UV light curing device, which is the existing technology in the market, and the cleaning mechanism is generally an ion air gun, which is the existing technology and will not be repeated.

[0054] In this embodiment, the structure and function of the first machine 1 are the same as those of the second machine 2, which will not be repeated. Only the movement direction of the inkjet mechanism 21 is different, moving in the X and Y directions respectively, which can meet the inkjet requirements of the product in different directions. At the same time, the transfer modules 21 of the first machine 1 and the second machine 2 are connected to each other to realize the loading and unloading of products.
