Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of paper and plastic processing, in particular to a double processing line switching mechanism. Background Art
[0002] In order to meet user needs and achieve aesthetic effects, the outer surface of paper cups is now printed with a variety of patterns and logos. Therefore, a pad printer is used to print on the paperboard surface during the production process of paper cups. The principle of the pad printer is to first make the steel plate with concave patterns for the required printing pattern, and then transfer it to the product through a special ink head (silicone printing head). When printing, the shape of the ink head can also be freely changed according to the shape of the product to complete the printing task. In the prior art, the loading platform carrying the product flows through each process in the pad printer from the feed end to the discharge end in sequence, and then the empty loading platform needs to be refluxed, which requires a large prevention space for the entire device, and will increase the waiting time for the reflux of the empty loading platform, or increase the cost of using a large number of loading platforms, and the overall pad printing efficiency of the pad printer is not high. Utility Model Content

The first processing line and the second processing line are two parallel processing lines arranged facing each other, and the loading platform loads products and runs them separately on the two processing lines.
[0007] The first driving platform drives the third slide rail to move in the first direction and extends in coordination with the first slide rail or the second slide rail, so that the loading platform can be transferred from the first slide rail or the second slide rail to the third slide rail, and then the third slide rail is transferred to another slide rail through the first driving platform, thereby realizing the coordinated switching between the first processing line and the second processing line.
[0008] The second driving platform drives the fourth slide rail to move in the first direction, and extends in coordination with the second slide rail or the first slide rail, so that the loading platform can be transferred from the second slide rail or the first slide rail to the fourth slide rail, and then the fourth slide rail is transferred to another slide rail through the second driving platform, thereby realizing the coordinated switching between the first processing line and the second processing line.
