Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of printing equipment, in particular to a double-station full-automatic product graphic printer. Background Art

[0002] A full-automatic product graphic printer is a highly integrated device. It is not only limited to a single printing function, but also integrates multiple functions such as copying and scanning, providing great convenience and flexibility for users. This printer usually has a high level of automation, making the operation process simple and fast, and greatly improving work efficiency.

[0003] This printer mainly uses piezoelectric inkjet technology or thermal bubble inkjet technology as its core printing method. Both of these technologies rely on a precise nozzle system. By controlling the tiny nozzles of the nozzle, ink is precisely ejected onto the product surface in the form of extremely fine droplets, thereby forming clear and delicate images and texts.

[0004] During the printing process, the product is usually placed on a roller. As the roller rotates and moves, the product is smoothly transported under the nozzle. The nozzle then ejects the corresponding ink at the appropriate position and time according to the preset printing instructions, so that the required printed image adheres to the product surface. At the same time, in order to ensure the smooth progress of continuous printing, the existing full-automatic product graphic printers usually adopt a single-station printing method, that is, after one printing is completed, a certain preparation time (such as nozzle cleaning, paper replacement, etc.) is required to perform the next printing work. In order to improve the printing efficiency of products and save labor costs, a double-station full-automatic product graphic printer is proposed. Summary of the Utility Model

[0005] Aiming at the deficiencies in the prior art, the utility model provides a double-station full-automatic product graphic printer. The first station roller and the second station roller in front of the graphic printer body, and both the second station roller and the first control mechanism are driven to rotate independently through the first housing provided on the connecting member. The provided roller frame enables the connecting member as a whole to be located thereon. The second control mechanism drives the overall structure on the connecting member to rotate, so that after the printing on the first station roller or the second station roller is completed, the printing station can be rotated and replaced. At the same time, the product can be unloaded at the replaced station, so as to improve the printing efficiency of the product and save labor costs.

[0006] In order to solve the above technical problems, the utility model solves the problem of improving its printing efficiency when the double-station full-automatic product graphic printer is in use through the following technical solutions.

[0007] In order to achieve the above object, the utility model adopts the following technical solutions:

[0035] Please refer to Figure 1 - Figure 7 , a double-station full-automatic product graphic printer, including a graphic printing body 1 with a nozzle 102 and a large and small ink cartridge assembly 103. A connecting member 3 having a first station roller 2 and a second station roller 201 is provided on the graphic printing body 1. A roller frame 4 is provided on one side of the connecting member 3. The roller frame 4 is provided with a second control mechanism 301, and the output shaft of the second control mechanism 301 drives the connecting member 3 to rotate and change the station.

[0036] Please refer to Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 3 、 Figure 4 and Figure 6, the double-station full-automatic product graphic printer of the present application is mainly a device composed of a graphic printing body 1, an ink cartridge 101, a nozzle 102, a large and small ink cartridge assembly 103 and other structures. In the application process, the large and small ink cartridge assembly 103, as an important component on the graphic printing body 1, mainly functions to store and supply ink to ensure the smooth progress of the printing task. The nozzle 102 is arranged in the ink cartridge 101, and the nozzle 102 precisely sprays the ink in the form of extremely fine droplets onto the product surface. Through the first station roller 2 and the second station roller 201 in front of the graphic printing body 1, the second station roller 201 and the first control mechanism 202 are both driven to rotate independently through the first housing 203 arranged on the connecting piece 3. The arranged roller frame 4 enables the connecting piece 3 to be located on it as a whole. The second control mechanism 301 drives the overall structure on the connecting piece 3 to rotate, so that after the printing on the first station roller 2 or the second station roller 201 is completed, the printing station can be rotated and replaced. At the same time, the product can be unloaded at the replaced station, so as to improve the product printing efficiency and save labor costs at the same time.

[0037] It should also be noted that both the first control mechanism 202 and the second control mechanism 301 are servo motors. Among them, two groups of the first control mechanism 202 are provided, which cooperate with the first station roller 2 and the second station roller 201 respectively. With the rotation of the output shaft of the first control mechanism 202, the first station roller 2 or the second station roller 201 is controlled to rotate independently. When the product is on the first station roller 2 or the second station roller 201, it can be smoothly transported under the nozzle 102 along with the rotation; the design of the roller frame 4 supports the overall structure on the connecting piece 3. The second control mechanism 301 is arranged on the side of the roller frame 4, and with the rotation of the output shaft of the second control mechanism 301, the first station roller 2 and the second station roller 201 on the connecting piece 3 are controlled to flip simultaneously, so as to replace the printing station for convenient next operation.

[0038] Among them, usually only two groups of nozzles 102 are adopted in the market. The originally designed nozzles 102 are increased to four groups and evenly distributed in the ink cartridge 101, so as to increase the printing speed of the product and further improve the production efficiency.

[0039] A hand-operated lead screw seat 5 is also arranged in the present application. The hand-operated lead screw seat 5 is arranged at the bottom of the roller frame 4. Since both the first station roller 2 and the second station roller 201 are arranged below the nozzle 102, their heights need to be adjusted according to the height designed by the nozzle 102. Therefore, when the second control mechanism 301 controls the switching of the first station roller 2 and the second station roller 201 on the connecting piece 3, according to the height design of the nozzle 102, in order to adapt to the switching of the first station roller 2 and the second station roller 201, the overall height of the roller frame 4 is adjusted during the switching.

[0040] Among them, the hand-cranked screw seat 5 is provided with a handwheel. When the handwheel is rotated, power is transmitted to the screw through a transmission system such as gears, chains, etc. The screw rotates under the support of the bearing in the screw seat, and at the same time drives the nut matched therewith to move along the thread direction of the screw. Since the moving direction of the nut is related to the rotation direction of the screw, the nut moves upward when rotating clockwise, and moves downward when rotating counterclockwise. Therefore, the lifting and lowering of the lifting platform can be achieved by controlling the rotation direction of the screw. The platform is connected to the bottom plate of the roller frame 4 to control its overall lifting and lowering.

[0041] In the present application, a first shell 203 and a second shell 302 are also provided. The first shell 203 is installed outside the first control mechanism 202 to cover it, and the second shell 302 is installed outside the second control mechanism 301 to cover it, so as to protect the first shell 203 and the second shell 302.

[0042] In the present application, a visual mechanism 6 and a support structure 7 are also provided. The support structure 7 is provided so that the visual mechanism 6 can be relatively movable thereon. At the same time, the support structure 7 as a whole is connected to the graphic printer body 1 by bolts from the base, and is located above the spray box 101, the nozzle 102, the first station roller 2 and the second station roller 201. The visual mechanism 6 has a built-in visual system that can automatically identify the printed pattern, monitor the position and posture of the printed material in real time, and accurately position the printed pattern at the specified position, thereby improving printing efficiency.

[0043] Among them, the visual mechanism 6 is a device that integrates advanced technologies. Its core component is a camera combination driven by a built-in visual system. The camera module is responsible for capturing image information of the external environment or target objects, while the image processing chip quickly processes and analyzes these raw image data to extract useful visual features.

[0044] In the present application, a laser bracket 8 is also provided to support and position the emission source of the laser beam, so as to ensure that the laser beam can act on the printing material accurately and stably.

[0045] Among them, the bracket structure 7 includes a first support rod 701, a second support rod 702 and a third support rod 703. The bracket structure 7 is formed by combining the first support rod 701, the second support rod 702 and the third support rod 703. Through the clamping of a plurality of fixing structures 601, the fixing structures 601 connected to the vision mechanism 6 can be clamped on the third support rod 703 and adjusted in the front and rear positions. The third support rod 703 is connected to the second support rod 702 through the fixing structure 601, so that the vision mechanism 6 can move left and right. Two first support rods 701 are provided, and the second support rod 702 is connected thereto through the fixing structure 601, so that the vision mechanism 6 can be driven to move up and down, thereby adjusting the vision mechanism 6 set in multiple directions to meet more printing requirements.

[0046] It should also be noted that the fixing structure 601 realizes the flexible fixing and moving functions of the first support rod 701, the second support rod 702 or the third support rod 703 through the ingenious combination of a separable hoop and a bolt.

[0047] In this application, a support base 501 is also provided. The support base 501 is fixedly installed at the front part of the base of the graphic printing machine body 1, so that the bottom plate of the hand-operated lead screw seat 5 can be connected thereto. While supporting the overall structure on the hand-operated lead screw seat 5, the bottom of the support base 501 is provided with rollers that are in the same plane as the rollers provided at the bottom of the graphic printing machine body 1, which can also improve the smoothness when moving the structure.

[0048] Those skilled in the art should understand that the embodiments of the present invention described above and shown in the drawings are only examples and do not limit the present invention. The object of the present invention has been fully and effectively achieved. The functions and structural principles of the present invention have been shown and described in the embodiments. Without departing from the above principles, the embodiments of the present invention can have any deformation or modification.
