[0017] Advantages of the present utility model:

[0018] 1. This application has developed a film ruler with measurement and gray scale (shade) functions, enabling defective products to be identified and judged under a unified standard. Among them, the size of printing slag spots is detected by length scale lines and line width comparison bodies. The color shade of printing slag spots is detected by a film ruler with a gray scale gradient. The detection principle is as follows: A film of a certain gray scale is attached to the printing slag spots on the printed matter, and the gray scale of the printing slag spots is compared with that of the film. If the printing slag spots can be observed through this film, it means that the gray scale of the printing slag spots is higher than that of this film; then, a film with a higher gray scale is replaced for comparison until the printing slag spots cannot be observed through the film, thereby obtaining the gray scale of the printing slag spots, that is, its color shade. This application uses gray scale values to distinguish the shade of defect colors, thereby quantifying data to accurately judge the defects of printing slag spots on products.

[0019] 2. In some embodiments, the soft and long film ruler is wound up for storage, which is convenient for the storage of the film ruler; and when in use, different gray scale films can be sequentially pulled out and attached to the printed matter for comparison until the corresponding detection standard is reached and then stopped. There is no need to take out the entire film ruler for use, avoiding problems such as wrinkles and bends of the soft and long film ruler during measurement, and improving the usability of the soft and long film ruler.

[0020] 3. In some embodiments, a storage member is added, which can not only protect the film ruler during storage; but also, during use, the storage member itself will not affect the complete adhesion between the film and the printed matter, ensuring the accuracy of detection.

[0024] Figure 4 is a schematic storage diagram of another embodiment of a printing defect detection tool;

[0025] In the figure: a film ruler 1, a film 11, a line width comparison body 111, length scale lines 112, a shaft body 21, a mounting portion 211, a thickening portion 212, a holding block 22, a clamping plate 23, a housing 31, a side plate 311, a sliding groove 311a, a base 32, a telescopic member 33, a supporting portion 331, an elastic member 332, a cover body 34, a covering portion 341, a connecting portion 342. Detailed implementation manners

[0026] The following are the detailed implementation manners of the present utility model. In combination with the accompanying drawings, the technical solutions of the present utility model are further described, but the present utility model is not limited to these embodiments.

[0027] A printing defect detection tool, as Figure 1 shown, includes a plurality of films 11, and the gray levels of the plurality of films 11 are different. The gray level can also be called transparency. The higher the gray level, the lower the transparency: the gray level is 0 and the transparency is 100 for completely transparent, the gray level is 100 and the transparency is 0 for pure black. By setting different gray level values in between, various gray films 11 with different shades can be obtained. In this embodiment, 11 films 11 are provided, and their gray levels are 100, 90, 80, 70, 60, 50, 40, 30, 20, 10, 0 in sequence; and these films 11 are connected in this order to obtain a relatively long film ruler 1.

[0028] This kind of film ruler 1 can be used for comparative detection of the color depth of printing slag spots on printed matter. There are two detection situations. One is that there is a standard for the color depth of the printing slag spots. When the color of the printing slag spots is higher than this standard, it is considered that this printing slag spot should not appear, and the printing process needs to be adjusted to reduce or eliminate the color of the printing slag spots; when the color of the printing slag spots is lower than this standard, it is considered that this printing slag spot can be ignored. In this case, only the film 11 with the standard gray level needs to be attached to the printing slag spot on the printed matter. When the printing slag spot can be observed through the film 11 with the standard gray level, the printing slag spot should not appear; when the printing slag spot cannot be observed through the film 11 with the standard gray level, the printing slag spot can be ignored. Another situation is that there is no standard and it is necessary to know the specific color depth of each printing slag spot for comparison. In this case, the films 11 are attached to the printing slag spots in sequence according to the ascending order of the gray levels for comparison until the printing slag spot cannot be observed through the film 11. At this time, the gray level of the film 11 is the color depth of the printing slag spot.

[0029] In addition to being used for detecting the color depth, as Figure 1As shown, length scale lines 112 and a number of line width comparison bodies 111 with different widths can be further set on the film ruler 1 for detecting the size of printing slag spots. The length scale lines 112 obtain the length of the printing slag spots by reading the scales, and the line width comparison bodies 111 judge the approximate width of the printing slag spots by comparison. Among them, the width direction of the line width comparison bodies 111 is perpendicular to the length direction of the length scale lines 112, and the length and width of the printing slag spots can be directly measured simultaneously. In addition, it should be noted that the size measurement of the printing slag spots should be carried out under the film 11 with a smaller gray level. Generally, it is selected to be carried out under the film 11 with the smallest gray level. In this embodiment, it is carried out under the film 11 with a gray level of 0 and completely transparent. Therefore, the line width comparison bodies 111 are mainly set on this film 11. At this time, the printing slag spots are more obvious and the measurement is more accurate.

[0030] Since the film ruler 1 is formed by sequentially connecting a plurality of films 11, the length of the film ruler 1 is too long, and the material of the film 11 is soft, there are problems such as inconvenient storage, difficult to fix during measurement, and the excess part scattered, which affects the measurement. Therefore, in some embodiments, as Figure 2 shown, one end of the film ruler 1 is wound around a shaft body 21, and a holding block 22 is provided at the other end. When the film ruler 1 is completely wound around the shaft body 21, it is convenient for storage. When the film ruler 1 needs to be used, only by controlling the holding block 22 and slowly unfolding the film ruler 1 against the surface of the printed matter until the film 11 with the required gray level is unfolded, and the remaining part is still stored on the shaft body 21.

[0031] In some embodiments, in order to ensure the adhesion of the film ruler 1 to the printed matter, as Figure 2 shown, the film ruler 1 includes a back surface for adhering to the printed matter and a front surface opposite to the back surface, and the holding block 22 is provided on the front surface. Among them, the holding block 22 can be made of a material with a higher density, such as a lead block, so that the holding block 22 can be stable on the printed matter and avoid measurement errors caused by the movement of the film ruler 1 during measurement.

[0032] In some embodiments, in order to prevent the whole film ruler 1 or the part that does not need to be used during measurement from falling off the shaft body 21, as Figure 2 shown, a clamping plate 23 for fixing the film ruler 1 is provided on the shaft body 21, and the shaft body 21 and the clamping plate 23 are connected by a spring. The elastic direction of the spring is the radial direction of the shaft body 21. Under the action of the spring, the clamping plate 23 can clamp the film ruler 1 with any winding thickness on the shaft body 21.

[0033] In some embodiments, for further storage and dust prevention, as Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, it further includes a storage member for storing the film ruler 1 and allowing a part of the film pieces 11 in the film ruler 1 to be drawn out for inspection. Specifically, the storage member first includes a housing 31. In this embodiment, the housing 31 is a cube with an open bottom and a hollow interior, which is formed by splicing four side plates and one top plate. According to Figure 3 In the direction shown in, the left and right side plates 311 in the housing 31 are used to mount the shaft body 21, and both ends of the shaft body 21 are rotatably connected to the two side plates 311 respectively, so that the shaft body 21 and the film ruler 1 wound thereon can be stored in the housing 31.

[0034] When detecting printing defect slag points, it is necessary to completely attach the film ruler 1 to the surface of the printed matter without any gap between them to ensure the accuracy of data reading. If the shaft body 21 and the film ruler 1 wound thereon are completely stored in the housing 31, then during measurement, when a part of the film ruler 1 is drawn out and attached to the surface of the printed matter, due to the certain volume of the housing 31, the end of this part of the film ruler 1 close to the housing 31 cannot be attached to the surface of the printed matter, which may cause measurement errors. Therefore, in this embodiment, a further design is as follows: the shaft body 21 is rotatably connected to the side plate 311 through a rotating bearing; the side plate 311 is provided with a sliding groove 311a along the direction from the bottom opening to the top plate, and the rotating bearing is slidably arranged in the sliding groove 311a.

[0035] During storage, as Figure 4 shown, move the shaft body 21 and the film ruler 1 wound thereon towards the direction close to the top of the housing 31, so that it can be completely stored in the housing 31.

[0036] During measurement, as Figure 3 shown, move the shaft body 21 and the film ruler 1 wound thereon towards the direction close to the bottom opening of the housing 31, so that the film ruler 1 protrudes from the opening, thereby being able to be attached to the printed matter. At this time, it is also necessary to add a base 32 to ensure the stability during measurement: as Figure 3As shown in the figure, the storage member further includes two bases 32. The length and width of the two bases 32 are the same as those of a pair of side plates 311 in the housing 31 for mounting the shaft body 21. The bases 32 are made of a material with a relatively high density, such as lead blocks, to ensure their stability. To adapt to different winding thicknesses of the film ruler 1, the two bases 32 are respectively connected to the two side plates 311 through telescopic members 33. The telescopic member 33 includes a support portion 331 provided on the base 32 and a support hole provided on the side plate 311 for the support portion 331 to insert. The support portion 331 and the bottom of the support hole are connected by an elastic member 332. And the total weight of the housing 31 and the shaft body 21 is greater than the maximum elastic force of the elastic member 332. When measuring at this time, the two bases 32 are stably located on the printed matter, and the housing 31 is located above the bases 32. Under the action of gravity, the housing 31 moves downward automatically until the film ruler 1 fits the printed matter. When the film ruler 1 is continuously unwound and the thickness of the film ruler 1 on the shaft body 21 decreases continuously, the housing 31 will continue to move downward automatically under the action of gravity to keep the film ruler 1 in close contact with the printed matter.

[0037] Among them, in order to enable the surface of the film ruler 1 to protrude from the bottom opening of the housing 31 without affecting the connection between the shaft body 21 and the side plate 311. The shaft body 21 includes a mounting portion 211 for rotatably connecting with the side plate 311 and a thickening portion 212 sleeved on the mounting portion 211. The film ruler 1 is wound around the thickening portion 212. The thickness of the thickening portion 212 is controlled such that: in the case of not winding the film ruler 1, the surface of the thickening portion 212 can protrude from the opening of the housing 31; then no matter how thick the film ruler 1 wound on it is, it can protrude from the opening of the housing 31 and fit onto the printed matter.

[0038] In some embodiments, for further storage and sealing, as Figure 4 shown, the storage member further includes a cover body 34. The cover body 34 includes a covering portion 341 that abuts against both bases 32 and a connecting portion 342 provided on the covering portion 341. The connecting portion 342 is detachably connected to the housing 31. In this embodiment, the cover body 34 is specifically set as a cube with an open top and a hollow interior. The bottom of the cube is the covering portion 341, and a pressing plate is hinged on the side of the cube as the connecting portion 342. When in use, the bases 32 and the housing 31 are placed into the cube so that the bases 32 abut against the covering portion 341, and then the pressing plate is rotated so that the pressing plate presses on the top of the housing 31.

[0039] The specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the spirit of the present utility model. Those skilled in the art of the present utility model can make various modifications or supplements to the described specific embodiments or use similar ways to replace them, but will not deviate from the spirit of the present utility model or exceed the scope defined by the appended claims.
