[0015] In order to make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the present utility model clearer and more understandable, the following further elaborates on the present utility model in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present utility model and are not used to limit the present utility model.

[0016] Refer to Figures 1-4A printed adsorption and transfer mechanism on the surface of a silicone button is shown, including a cylinder base 1. A lifting platform 2 and a first cylinder 3 are arranged on the cylinder base 1. The lifting platform 2 is fixedly connected to the piston rod of the first cylinder 3. A second cylinder 4 is fixedly connected to the lifting platform 2. A two-way sliding table 5 is fixedly connected to the piston rod of the second cylinder 4. The first cylinder 3 and the second cylinder 4 are used to drive the two-way sliding table 5 to perform translation and lifting. A vacuum suction head 6 is fixedly connected to the moving table of each two-way sliding table 5. An elastic plug component is threadedly connected to the lower end of each vacuum suction head 6. The elastic plug component includes a connecting sleeve 701, an adsorption plug 702 slidably connected to the connecting sleeve 701, a hose 703, and a spring 704. The elastic plug component can adapt to the adsorption, transfer, printing, and pressing of silicone buttons with different groove depths. The spring 704 is sleeved between the connecting sleeve 701 and the adsorption plug 702. Air holes are provided in the middle of the connecting sleeve 701 and the adsorption plug 702. The air hole of the connecting sleeve 701 is communicated with the air hole of the vacuum suction head 6. One end of the hose 703 is communicated with the air hole of the connecting sleeve 701, and the other end of the hose 703 is communicated with the air hole of the adsorption plug 702.

[0017] The lifting platform 2 is slidably connected to the cylinder base 1, and the cylinder base 1 can guide the sliding of the lifting platform 2. The first cylinder 3 is fixedly connected to the cylinder base 1.

[0018] A guide frame 8 is fixedly connected to the side of the two-way sliding table 5. A chute is opened on the guide frame 8. The vacuum suction head 6 is slidably connected to the chute. The two-way sliding table 5 is used to adjust the distance between the two vacuum suction heads 6. The guide frame 8 can guide and correct the sliding adjustment of the vacuum suction head 6.

[0019] The connecting sleeve 701 is threadedly connected to the vacuum suction head 6. A sealing ring 9 is provided on the bottom surface of the vacuum suction head 6. The sealing ring 9 is used to enhance the sealing effect between the connecting sleeve 701 and the vacuum hole suction head 6.

[0020] The working principle of the present utility model is as follows: Before the present utility model is used, an elastic plug component matching the hole diameter of the silicone button is selected and installed on the vacuum suction head 6. The connecting sleeve 701 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the vacuum suction head 6. During the tightening process, the connection between the sealing ring 9 and the connecting sleeve 701 is sealed. Then, according to the distance between the two buttons on the silicone button, the distance between the two vacuum suction heads 6 is adjusted. The two vacuum suction heads 6 can be driven by the two-way sliding table 5 to approach or move away from each other simultaneously to adjust the distance.

[0021] When the utility model is in use, the first cylinder 3 and the second cylinder 4 drive the vacuum suction head 6 to switch between the loading and unloading station and the printing station. First, at the loading and unloading station, the vacuum suction head 6 slides vertically downward, the adsorption plug 702 is inserted into the groove corresponding to the silicone button and vacuum adsorption is carried out (the groove of the silicone button faces upward and is placed in the corresponding carrier). After that, the vacuum suction head 6 rises and then translates and descends to press the silicone button on the printing plate for printing. Finally, after the piston rod of the first cylinder 3 extends and the piston rod of the second cylinder 4 retracts, the unloading of the silicone button is completed.

[0022] The above embodiments are used to further illustrate the present utility model, but do not limit the present utility model to these specific embodiments. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present utility model shall be understood to be within the protection scope of the present utility model.
