Detailed implementation manners

[0030] The following combines the embodiments and the attached Figures 1 to 15 to further describe the present utility model.

[0031] A plate cylinder lifting device, such as Figures 1 - 2 , is used to lift the plate cylinder 100, so that the plate cylinder is separated from the anilox roller and the impression cylinder. The plate cylinder 100 and the flexographic plate 111 pasted on the surface of the plate cylinder will not be squeezed by the anilox roller 222 and the impression cylinder 333, and the flexographic plate will not be deformed, thereby prolonging the service life of the flexographic plate 111.

[0032] Such as Figures 3 - 7As shown, the lifting device includes a printing roller base 1, a plate cylinder base 2, a driving mechanism 3, a clutch swing arm 4, and an eccentric shaft 5. The plate cylinder base is used to mount the plate cylinder 100, and the plate cylinder base is movably connected to the printing roller base. The driving mechanism is fixedly connected to the printing roller base, the driving mechanism is drivingly connected to the clutch swing arm 4, one end of the clutch swing arm 4 is fixedly connected to the eccentric shaft 5, and the eccentric shaft 5 is rotatably connected to the plate cylinder base. In this embodiment, the driving mechanism 3 is a cylinder. In other embodiments, an oil cylinder, an electric cylinder, or a cam mechanism with self-locking can also be used.

[0033] The plate cylinder base includes a first mounting portion 21 and a second mounting portion 22. The second mounting portion 22 is fixedly installed below the first mounting portion 21. The first mounting portion 21 is used to mount the plate cylinder, and the second mounting portion 22 is used to mount the eccentric shaft 5. As Figure 8 shown, the second mounting portion 22 is inserted into the printing roller base, and the second mounting portion 22 can move up and down relative to the printing roller base.

[0034] As Figures 9 - 14 shown, an eccentric shaft mounting groove 50 is formed in the second mounting portion 22, and the eccentric shaft mounting groove 50 penetrates through the second mounting portion 22. The eccentric shaft mounting groove 50 is an open groove with three open sides. The groove side wall 6 of the eccentric shaft mounting groove 50 is a plane, and the groove bottom wall 7 of the eccentric shaft mounting groove 50 is arc-shaped. The eccentric shaft includes a mounting portion 8, an eccentric portion 9, and a connecting portion 10. The mounting portion 8, the eccentric portion 9, and the connecting portion 10 are integrally formed structures. The mounting portion 8 is rotatably mounted on the printing roller base 1, and the diameter of the mounting portion 8 is larger than the distance between the two groove side walls 6 of the eccentric shaft mounting groove 5. The eccentric portion 9 is stuck in the eccentric shaft mounting groove. When the eccentric shaft 5 rotates, it drives the plate cylinder base 2 to move up and down. The connecting portion 10 is connected to the clutch swing arm 4. In this embodiment, the connecting portion 10 passes through an opening in the clutch swing arm, and the clutch swing arm is fixedly connected to the mounting portion by screws.

[0035] In other embodiments, as Figure 15 shown, an eccentric shaft mounting hole 60 can also be formed in the second mounting portion 22 to mount the eccentric shaft. The diameter of the mounting portion 8 is larger than the diameter of the eccentric shaft mounting hole 5. At this time, the eccentric shaft mounting hole 60 is a through hole that horizontally penetrates the second mounting portion 22, and the eccentric shaft is inserted into the eccentric shaft mounting groove or the eccentric shaft mounting hole.

[0036] On the printing machine, the lifting device is symmetrically installed at both ends of the plate cylinder 100. When the printing machine stops, as Figure 2As shown, upon receiving an instruction from the control system, the cylinder of the driving mechanism 3 pushes forward, causing the clutch swing arm 4 to swing, driving the eccentric shaft 5 to rotate. The eccentric shaft 5 drives the plate cylinder base 2 sleeved in the plate cylinder seat 1 to rise, disengaging from the anilox roll 222 and the impression cylinder 333. In this way, the plate cylinder 100 and the flexographic plate 111 adhered to the plate cylinder will not be squeezed by them. When starting the machine, as Figure 1 shown, upon receiving an instruction from the control system, the clutch cylinder pulls backward, causing the clutch swing arm 4 to swing in the opposite direction, driving the eccentric shaft 5 to rotate in the reverse direction. The eccentric shaft 5 drives the plate cylinder base 2 sleeved in the plate cylinder seat 1 to descend, coming into normal contact with the anilox roll 222 and the impression cylinder 333, and returning to the working state.

[0037] The above specific embodiments are only used to explain and illustrate the present invention, rather than limiting the present invention. Any change and substitution made to the present invention without creative labor within the scope of the concept and claims of the present invention fall within the protection scope of the present invention patent.
