Detailed implementation manners

[0022] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present utility model, the technical solutions of the present utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0023] As Figures 1-4 shown, a transfer mechanism for printing of the present utility model includes a printing machine body 1 and a controller 101, and further includes a first conveying mechanism 11, a second conveying mechanism 102 and a third conveying mechanism 12; specifically, the first conveying mechanism 11 includes a third U-shaped assembly plate 111, and a plurality of second driving rollers are rotatably assembled inside the third U-shaped assembly plate 111. A plurality of second conveyor belts 112 are arranged and driven to be assembled together by the plurality of second driving rollers. A first U-shaped mounting plate 113 is fixedly installed on the top of the third U-shaped assembly plate 111. A plurality of installation through grooves are arranged in a row on the upper side of the first U-shaped mounting plate 113, and a plurality of fans 114 are fixedly installed inside the plurality of installation through grooves. A second motor 115 is fixedly installed on the front side of the third U-shaped assembly plate 111, and the output shaft of the second motor 115 is in transmission connection with one of the second driving rollers. The second motor 115 and the plurality of fans 114 are both electrically connected to the controller 101.

[0024] During use, after the printing press body 1 finishes printing and cutting cardboard or paper, it will be conveyed onto a number of first conveyor belts 112 through the conveying mechanism inside the printing press body 1. The staff can start the second motor 115 through the controller 1 and control the rotation speed of the second motor 115. The second motor 115 drives one of the second drive rollers to rotate, and then a number of second conveyor belts 112 rotate to convey the printed matter. During this period, a number of fans 114 are started, and the wind force of the fans 114 can be used to quickly dry the ink of the printed matter. Finally, the printed matter will be conveyed into the second conveying mechanism 102.

[0025] The first conveying mechanism 11 is arranged at the discharge end of the printing press body 1, the second conveying mechanism 102 is arranged on the left side of the first conveying mechanism 11, and the third conveying mechanism 12 is arranged on the left side of the second conveying mechanism 12; specifically, the second conveying mechanism 102 includes a bottom plate 103. Assembly plates 104 are fixedly installed on both the front and rear sides of the bottom plate 103. A number of third drive rollers are rotatably assembled on the side where the two assembly plates 104 approach each other. The number of third drive rollers is arranged in a left-high and right-low inclined manner. A number of third conveyor belts 106 are arranged and driven to be assembled by the number of third drive rollers. A third motor 105 is fixedly installed at the front end of the front assembly plate 104. The output shaft of the third motor 105 is in transmission connection with one of the third drive rollers. The third motor 105 is electrically connected to the controller 101.

[0026] During use, the third motor 105 is started through the controller 101. The third motor 105 can drive a number of second conveyor belts 106 to rotate. When the printed matter is conveyed onto a number of third conveyor belts 106, the third conveyor belts 106 can convey the printed matter from bottom to top into the third conveying mechanism 12, changing the falling height of the printed matter to facilitate the subsequent storage of the printed matter.

[0027] A counting component 13 is arranged on the upper side of the second conveying mechanism 102, and the controller 101 is installed on the front side of the second conveying mechanism 12; specifically, the counting component 13 includes a second U-shaped mounting plate 131. The second U-shaped mounting plate 131 is fixedly installed on the tops of the two assembly plates 104. An infrared sensor 132 is fixedly installed in the middle of the lower side of the second U-shaped mounting plate 131. The infrared sensor 132 is electrically connected to the controller 101.

[0028] The printing press body 1 discharges materials at intervals when conveying the printed matter. Therefore, when the second conveying mechanism 102 conveys the printed matter, the infrared sensor 132 is used to count the printed matter and display it on the controller 101 in real time. The staff can control the detected quantity value through the controller 101. When the detected quantity value reaches the set point, the third conveying mechanism 12 starts to convey the printed matter, and the controller 101 controls the infrared sensor 132 to re-count.

[0029] The third conveying mechanism 12 includes a first U-shaped mounting plate 121. Inside the first U-shaped mounting plate 121, several first driving rollers are rotationally mounted. A first conveyor belt 122 is commonly driven and assembled by the several first driving rollers. On the upper right part of the first U-shaped mounting plate 121, a second U-shaped mounting plate 123 is fixedly installed. A discharge port 124 is formed in the lower left part of the second U-shaped mounting plate 123. A first motor 125 is provided on the front side of the first U-shaped mounting plate 121. The output shaft of the first motor 125 is in driving connection with one of the first driving rollers. The first motor 125, the counting component 13, the first conveying mechanism 11, and the second conveying mechanism 102 are all electrically connected to the controller 101.

[0030] On the right side inside the second U-shaped mounting plate 123, a set of baffles 126 is fixedly installed. On the front and rear sides of the second U-shaped mounting plate 123, air cylinders 127 are fixedly installed respectively. The telescopic ends of the two air cylinders 127 respectively pass through the second U-shaped mounting plate 123 and are fixedly installed with limiting plates 128. The two air cylinders 127 are both electrically connected to the controller 101.

[0031] During use, the second conveyor belt 106 can convey the printed matter between the two limiting plates 128. The two limiting plates 128 limit the front and rear sides of the printed matter. When subsequently conveying the printed matter, it is more convenient to sort. The two air cylinders 127 can drive the two limiting plates 128 to approach and move away from each other, which is applicable to printed matter of different widths.

[0032] The usage method of this device is as follows:

[0033] During use, the printing press body 1 conveys the printed matter onto the first conveying mechanism 11. The wind is applied to the printed matter by several fans 114 to accelerate the drying of the ink. The several second conveyor belts 112 can convey the printed matter to the several third conveyor belts 106 in sequence. The several third conveyor belts 106 convey the printed matter from bottom to top to the third conveying mechanism 12. When the printed matter falls from the several third conveyor belts 106, due to the conveying force of the third conveyor belts 106, the printed matter will fly up a certain distance and its end will abut against the upper inner side of the second U-shaped mounting plate 123. Due to the action of gravity, the printed matter falls on the first conveyor belt 122. In this way, the printed matter will continuously accumulate on the third conveyor belts 106. When the infrared sensor 132 detects that the number of printed matter reaches the set value, the first motor 125 is automatically started, and the stacked printed matter is conveyed outside the second U-shaped mounting plate 123 through the discharge port 124. The staff can avoid the counting process and directly sort the printed matter. By repeating the above process, after the printed matter is printed, its automatic counting and stacking can be realized, which is convenient for the staff to sort subsequently and reduces the workload of the staff.

[0034] The above embodiments are only used to exemplarily illustrate the principles and effects of the present utility model, rather than to limit the present utility model. Any person familiar with this technology can modify or change the above embodiments without departing from the spirit and scope of the present utility model. Therefore, all equivalent modifications or changes completed by those with ordinary knowledge in the technical field without departing from the spirit and technical idea disclosed by the present utility model should still be covered by the claims of the present utility model.
