[0038] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative work shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0039] Refer to Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 , an embodiment provided by the present invention: an automatic feeding mechanism for a flexible plate printing machine, including a bottom plate 1, a fixed frame 4 is fixedly connected to the left side of the top end of the bottom plate 1, fixed plates 3 are fixedly connected to the front and rear sides of the right end of the top of the bottom plate 1, a conveyor belt 7 is arranged between the adjacent fixed plates 3 and the fixed frame 4, a positioning plate 5 is fixedly connected between the adjacent two fixed plates 3, a motor 6 is fixedly connected to the left side of the positioning plate 5, a rotating rod 8 is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor 6, a threaded rod 9 is threadedly connected to the inner side of the rotating rod 8, guide rods 28 are fixedly connected to the front and rear sides of the outer wall of the positioning plate 5, an installation cover 10 is slidably connected to the outer side of the guide rod 28, first springs 11 are fixedly connected to the front and rear sides of the inner wall of the installation cover 10, the other ends of the first springs 11 are fixedly connected to a hollow plate 12, cleaning brushes 13 are fixedly connected to the left and right sides of the top end of the hollow plate 12, an impurity tank 14 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the fixed frame 4, fans 15 are communicated with the front and rear sides of the impurity tank 14, the output ends of the fans 15 are communicated with a hose 16, and the other end of the hose 16 is communicated with the installation cover 10. A tightening mechanism 2 is arranged on the outer side of the bottom plate 1, and the tightening mechanism 2 is used to adjust the tightness of the conveyor belt 7;

[0040] Specifically, the conveyor belt 7 can be started to convey the flexible board. At the same time, the motor 6 is started to drive the rotating rod 8 to rotate, so as to drive the threaded rod 9 to move left and right through threaded connection. At the same time, through the restriction of the guide rod 28 and the mounting cover 10, the mounting cover 10 can be driven to move left and right. Through the elastic potential energy of the first spring 11 inside it, the hollow board 12 and the cleaning brush 13 thereon can be pushed. No matter how much it is worn, it can keep in contact with the conveyor belt 7 to clean the impurities on its surface. At the same time, the fan 15 is started to suck the impurities into the impurity tank 14. The exhausted air flow will be discharged from the mounting cover 10 through the hose 16, blowing the impurities on the surface of the conveyor belt 7 away and drying the moisture. Among them, the conveyor belt 7 can use a CC-56 type canvas conveyor belt. Among them, the motor 6 can use a YE3 vertical three-phase AC asynchronous motor, and the fan 15 can use a -19 high-pressure centrifugal fan.

[0041] Refer to Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown in FIGS.

[0042] Specifically, starting the motor 201 can drive the rotating disk 203 to rotate along the groove 202, so as to drive the fixing rods 204 thereon to rotate simultaneously. Since the two fixing rods 204 are respectively on the upper and lower sides of the conveyor belt 7, at this time, as the fixing rods 204 rotate, the conveyor belt 7 and the flexible board conveyed thereon will be bent and tightened. At the same time, through the rotation of the tightening sleeves 205 rotating on the outer sides of the fixing rods 204, the wear caused by the fixing rods 204 to the conveyor belt 7 can be reduced when collecting the conveyor belt 7, so as to improve the fixing effect between the flexible board and the conveyor belt 7. Among them, the motor 201 can use

[0043] Refer to Figure 2 、 Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown in FIGS.

[0044] Specifically, the movable door 20 can be opened and closed through the hinge 21 to clean the impurities in the impurity tank 14. By starting the water pump 18, the water in the water tank 17 can be sprayed in a mist to clean the conveyor belt 7 and simultaneously reduce the static electricity that may be generated during the operation of the device. Due to the elasticity of the second spring 22 itself, after the filter screen 23 collects dust and impurities, it can drive the filter screen 23 to move downward along the impurity tank 14 to determine whether the internal impurities need to be cleaned by observing the position of the filter screen 23. Among them, the water pump 18 can use a DB-25 three-phase electric pump.

[0045] Refer to Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 5 , a limiting block 24 is fixedly connected to the front side of the left end of the movable door 20, a limiting plate 25 is rotatably connected to the front side of the left side of the limiting block 24, and the limiting block 24 is engaged with the limiting plate 25; sliding grooves 29 are provided on the front and rear sides of the inner wall of the fixed frame 4, sliders 30 are slidably connected to the inner sides of the sliding grooves 29, and a brush 31 is rotatably connected between the two adjacent sliders 30; positioning blocks 26 are fixedly connected to the peripheries of the outer walls of the bottom plate 1, and positioning holes 27 are provided on the outer sides of the plurality of positioning blocks 26;

[0046] Specifically, by rotating the limiting plate 25 to engage it with the limiting block 24, the accidental opening of the movable door 20 during use can be prevented. The sliding groove 29 can allow the slider 30 and the brush 31 thereon to move up and down, so that the brush 31 can further clean the flexible plates of different specifications being conveyed. By installing threaded parts in the positioning holes 27 on the positioning blocks 26, it is convenient to install and fix the device.

[0047] Working principle: Before using the device, first start the conveyor belt 7 to convey the flexible plate. At the same time, start the motor 6 to drive the rotating rod 8 to rotate, so that the threaded rod 9 moves left and right. Under the restriction of the guide rod 28 and the mounting cover 10, the mounting cover 10 is driven to move. The elastic potential energy of the first spring 11 inside it pushes the cleaning brush 13 on the hollow plate 12 to always keep in contact with the conveyor belt 7 to clean the impurities on its surface. Start the fan 15 to suck the impurities into the inner side of the impurity tank 14, and the discharged air flow is discharged from the mounting cover 10 through the hose 16 to blow off the impurities on the surface of the conveyor belt 7 and dry the moisture;

[0048] Starting the motor 201 can drive the rotating disk 203 to rotate in the groove 202, thereby driving the fixed rods 204 thereon to rotate together. Since the two fixed rods 204 are respectively located on the upper and lower sides of the conveyor belt 7, when the fixed rods 204 rotate, the conveyor belt 7 and the flexible plate conveyed thereon will be bent and tightened. At the same time, through the rotation of the tightening sleeve 205 rotating on the outside of the fixed rod 204, the wear caused by the fixed rod 204 to the conveyor belt 7 can be reduced when collecting the conveyor belt 7, thereby improving the fixing effect between the flexible plate and the conveyor belt 7.

[0049] Finally, it should be noted that the above are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or perform equivalent replacements for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention shall be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
