Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of liquid filling and inkjet coding, in particular to a lifting mechanism of an inkjet printer for a liquid filling production line. Background Technique

[0002] Liquid filling refers to the technical process of filling liquid medicine or liquid into a specific container according to certain volume or mass requirements. This process involves multiple links and elements, including filling equipment, filling methods, filling containers, filling processes, and filling quality control, etc. An inkjet printer is a device that uses software control to identify products in a non-contact manner. Generally, it refers to continuous inkjet technology. Using an inkjet printer to inkjet code the filled liquid containers is a process in the filling production line.

[0003] For example, the lifting mechanism for camera inkjet coding disclosed in the patent with publication number CN214727514U is composed of a frame body, a lead screw, a driving device, a light source frame, two light sources, a camera, and an inkjet printer.

[0004] However, in the prior art, when the inkjet printer codes the filling containers, the lifting mechanism only has the function of adjusting the height, and parameters such as the inkjet angle of the inkjet printer remain unchanged during the lifting process. The shapes and sizes of different filling containers are various, especially the diameter, height, and the presence of protrusions or depressions. If the angle of the inkjet printer is fixed, it will be difficult to ensure that the inkjet content is accurately positioned at the ideal position of the container. As the height of the container changes, the relative distance and angle between the nozzle and the container surface will also change, which is likely to cause uneven inkjet effects, such as blurring or even missing inkjet, thus affecting the overall quality and clarity of the inkjet coding. Content of the Utility Model

[0005] The purpose of the utility model is to solve the problem in the prior art that parameters such as the inkjet angle of the inkjet printer remain unchanged during the lifting process, and it is difficult to ensure that the inkjet content is accurately positioned at the ideal position of the container, and a lifting mechanism of an inkjet printer for a liquid filling production line is proposed.

[0006] To achieve the above purpose, the utility model adopts the following technical scheme: a lifting mechanism of an inkjet printer for a liquid filling production line, including a mounting frame, a moving plate is slidably connected to the top of the mounting frame, and a first cylinder is fixedly connected to one side of the mounting frame. The output end of the first cylinder is fixedly connected to the moving plate, and a lifting component is installed at the bottom of the moving plate;

[0007] The lifting assembly includes a fixed frame. A rotating rod is rotatably connected to the inner side of the fixed frame. The bottom end of the rotating rod extends out of the fixed frame, and a sliding sleeve is slidably connected to the surface of the bottom end of the rotating rod. A connecting block is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the top end of the sliding sleeve.

The top end of the fixed rod penetrates through the fixed frame, and a lifting plate is fixedly connected to the top of the fixed rod. A clamping groove is formed inside the sliding sleeve.

[0008] Preferably, convex blocks are symmetrically and fixedly connected to the outer surface of the bottom end of the rotating rod, and the convex blocks are clamped with the clamping grooves.

[0009] Preferably, a connecting rod is fixedly connected to the bottom of the sliding sleeve, and an installation plate is fixedly connected to the bottom of the connecting rod.

[0022] In order to more clearly understand the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of this utility model, the following further describes this utility model with reference to the drawings and embodiments. It should be noted that, without conflict, the embodiments of this application and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0023] In the following description, many specific details are set forth in order to fully understand this utility model. However, this utility model can also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Therefore, this utility model is not limited by the specific embodiments disclosed in the following specification.

[0024] Embodiment 1: As Figures 1-4 shown, this utility model provides an inkjet printer lifting mechanism for a liquid filling production line, including a mounting frame 1. A moving plate 2 is slidably connected to the top of the mounting frame 1, and a first cylinder 3 is fixedly connected to one side of the mounting frame 1. The output end of the first cylinder 3 is fixedly connected to the moving plate 2, and a lifting component 4 is installed at the bottom of the moving plate 2;

[0025] The lifting assembly 4 includes a fixed frame 41. Inside the fixed frame 41, a rotating rod 421 is rotatably connected. The bottom end of the rotating rod 421 penetrates the fixed frame 41. And on the surface of the bottom end of the rotating rod 421, a sliding sleeve 46 is slidably connected. On the outer surface of the top end of the sliding sleeve 46, a connecting block 48 is fixedly connected. On the outer surface of the connecting block 48, a limiting groove 481 is formed. Inside the limiting groove 481, a pushing plate 45 is clamped. On the top of the pushing plate 45, a fixed rod 442 is fixedly connected. The top end of the fixed rod 442 penetrates the fixed frame 41. And on the top of the fixed rod 442, a lifting plate 44 is fixedly connected. Inside the sliding sleeve 46, a clamping groove 49 is formed. On the outer surface of the bottom end of the rotating rod 421, convex blocks 422 are symmetrically fixedly connected. The convex blocks 422 are clamped with the clamping groove 49.

[0026] Next, specifically describe the specific settings and functions of this embodiment. First, the up and down movement of the lifting plate 44 realizes the transmission of force through the fixed rod 442 connected to it. The bottom of the fixed rod 442 penetrates the fixed frame 41, ensuring the stability and accuracy of the lifting process. When the lifting plate 44 rises or falls under its action, the fixed rod 442 moves accordingly, pushing the pushing plate 45 to make corresponding lifting movements.

[0027] During the lifting process, the clamping of the lifting plate 44 with the limiting groove 481 plays a key role. It not only limits the movement trajectory of the lifting plate 44, but also exerts a force on the connecting block 48 through the limiting groove 481, thereby indirectly driving the sliding sleeve 46 to freely slide on the surface of the rotating rod 421. As the lifting plate 44 rises and falls, the sliding sleeve 46 drives the connecting rod 461 to move synchronously, and then controls the horizontal position of the mounting plate 47. Enabling the inkjet printer to achieve fine adjustment in the horizontal direction to adapt to containers of different sizes or positions.

[0028] In addition, when the rotating rod 421 rotates under the drive of an external power source, the convex blocks 422 on it rotate accordingly. Since the convex blocks 422 are engaged with the clamping groove 49, it ensures that the rotating rod 421 can stably drive the sliding sleeve 46 to rotate together during the rotation process. As the sliding sleeve 46 rotates, the connecting rod 461 and the mounting plate 47 also rotate accordingly, thus realizing the rotational adjustment of the inkjet printer on the horizontal plane. This rotational adjustment function is particularly important for certain containers that require inkjetting at specific angles, such as the side of a cylindrical container or markings at specific positions.

[0029] Embodiment 2: As Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, a connecting rod 461 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the sliding sleeve 46, and a mounting plate 47 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the connecting rod 461. A through hole 472 is formed in the middle of the mounting plate 47, and the diameter of the through hole 472 is larger than the rod diameter of the rotating rod 421. A device frame 471 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the mounting plate 47. Two sliding rods 441 are symmetrically and fixedly connected to the inner side of the mounting frame 1, and the lifting plate 44 is slidably connected to the sliding rods 441. A reduction motor 42 is installed on the top of the mounting frame 1, and the output end of the reduction motor 42 is fixedly connected to the rotating rod 421. A second cylinder 43 is installed on the top of the mounting frame 1, and the bottom end of the second cylinder 43 is fixedly connected to the lifting plate 44.

[0030] The effect achieved by the entire embodiment is that when the driving force of the second cylinder 43 directly acts on the lifting plate 44, it pushes the lifting plate 44 to slide up and down along a preset path. The sliding rods 441 not only provide a stable sliding track for the lifting plate 44, but also limit the movement direction of the lifting plate 44 through their shape and position, effectively preventing skew or deviation during the lifting process. This not only improves the stability and reliability of the system, but also extends the service life of each component.

[0031] As the lifting plate 44 rises and falls, the fixed rod 442 fixedly connected to it will also perform corresponding vertical movements. This movement is precisely controlled by the limiting action of the fixed frame 41 to ensure that the fixed rod 442 moves within a predetermined trajectory. The lifting and lowering of the fixed rod 442 further drives the up and down movement of the push plate 45, and the push plate 45 is directly related to the support structure of the device frame 471. In this indirect way, the height of the entire inkjet printer system can be precisely adjusted to adapt to different inkjet requirements or production line configurations.

[0032] When the reduction motor 42 is started, it converts the high-speed rotation into a low-speed and high-torque output through an internal gear reduction mechanism, driving the rotating rod 421 to rotate. This rotational movement is converted into a circular motion of the sliding sleeve 46 through the precise cooperation between the convex block 422 and the card slot 49. The rotation of the sliding sleeve 46 further drives the synchronous rotation of the mounting plate 47 and the connecting plate, thereby realizing the flexible adjustment of the inkjet direction of the inkjet printer.

[0033] Through the above complex and precise mechanical linkage, the system can adjust the position and posture of the inkjet printer in multiple dimensions to adapt to different inkjet tasks and production line conditions. This high degree of flexibility and precision not only improves the quality and consistency of inkjet printing, but also significantly improves production efficiency.

[0034] Usage method and working principle of this device: When the second cylinder 43 operates, it can control the lifting plate 44 to slide up and down on the surface of the sliding rod 441, thereby playing a limiting role to ensure the stable sliding of the lifting plate 44 and avoid skew deviation. As the lifting plate 44 moves up and down, the fixed rod 442 also moves accordingly. The bottom end of the fixed rod 442 passes through the fixed frame 41 and pushes the push plate 45 to move up and down. Since the lifting plate 44 is clamped with the limit groove 481, when the lifting plate 44 moves up and down, it will exert a force on the connecting block 48, thereby driving the sliding sleeve 46 to move on the surface of the rotating rod 421. The movement of the sliding sleeve 46 controls the position of the mounting plate 47 through the connecting rod 461, so as to adjust the inkjet printer inside the equipment rack 471 to an ideal position for inkjet printing on the outer surface of the container.

[0035] When the reduction motor 42 operates, the rotating rod 421 rotates accordingly and drives the convex block 422 to rotate together. Since the convex block 422 is engaged with the clamping groove 49, when the rotating rod 421 rotates, it will exert a force on the sliding sleeve 46, causing it to rotate accordingly. This design facilitates the adjustment of the position of the inkjet printer to achieve rapid inkjet printing on the outer surface of the filling container.

[0036] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and it is not a limitation of the present invention in other forms. Any person skilled in the art may use the disclosed technical content to make changes or modifications into equivalent embodiments with equivalent changes and apply them to other fields. However, as long as it does not depart from the technical solution content of the present invention, any simple modification, equivalent change and modification made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present invention still fall within the protection scope of the technical solution of the present invention.
