The output end of the controller 11 is electrically connected to the motor 2, the electric push rod 8 and the cylinder 12 respectively. The infrared sensor 7 is electrically connected to the controller 11. The control method of the present invention is to automatically control through the controller 11. The control circuit of the controller 11 can be realized by simple programming by technicians in this field. The provision of power is also common knowledge in this field. In addition, the present invention is mainly used to protect mechanical devices, so the present invention will not explain the control method and circuit connection in detail. The controller 11 is a common controller 11 on the market, which can be a single-chip processor, a PLC processor or an MCU processor. The principle of the screen printing machine 5 is an existing known technology, and there are mature products. Therefore, its principle is not further explained. The cylinder 12 is equipped with an air source to facilitate the extension and retraction of the cylinder 12;

[0023] In one embodiment, a mounting plate is welded to the bottom end of the fixing seat 4, and a plurality of bolts fixedly connected to the conveying frame 1 are interspersed on the surface of the mounting plate. The setting of the mounting plate facilitates the installation of the fixing seat 4 and facilitates the fixation of the screen printing machine 5.

[0024] In one embodiment, another transmission roller is provided on the inner side of the conveyor belt 3, and the two ends of the transmission roller are rotatably connected to the inner side of the conveyor frame 1 through the axle seat, that is, the conveyor belt 3 has two built-in transmission rollers, one of which is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor 2, and the other transmission roller is rotatably installed on the inner side of the conveyor frame 1, so that the conveyor belt 3 can transmit the cartons.

[0025] In one embodiment, a guide sleeve is provided on both sides of the screen printing assembly 6, and two support rods connected to the guide sleeve are provided inside the screen printing machine 5. The setting of the guide sleeve and the support rod is conducive to increasing the smoothness of the lifting and lowering of the screen printing assembly 6.

[0026] In one embodiment, the connecting plate 9 is arranged parallel to the fixing seat 4, and two guide rods 13 are arranged on the surface of the connecting rod and are connected to the fixing seat 4. The setting of the guide rods 13 can maintain the stability of the U-shaped positioning frame 10 during the moving stage.

[0027] In one embodiment, the inclined ends 14 at both ends of the U-shaped positioning frame 10 are arranged in a trumpet-shaped structure. Through the arrangement of the inclined ends 14, the port of the U-shaped positioning frame 10 forms a trumpet-shaped expansion structure, which is easy to guide the carton and keep it in a centered state.

[0028] Working principle:

[0029] When in use, first place the cartons one by one on the conveyor belt 3 of the conveyor frame 1, and start the motor 2 to drive the conveyor belt 3 to transport the cartons. When printing, the position of the carton on the conveyor belt 3 is sensed by the infrared sensor 7. When the carton is conveyed to the bottom of the infrared sensor 7, the controller 11 first cuts off the power supply of the motor 2 and stops transporting the carton. Then the controller 11 starts the electric push rod 8 to push the two connecting plates 9 to move toward each other, so that the connecting plates 9 push the corresponding U-shaped positioning frame 10 close to the carton. Combined with the two inclined ends 14 of the trumpet-shaped arrangement at both ends of the U-shaped positioning frame 10, the skewed carton is fine-tuned to achieve the centering adjustment of the carton position and make it directly below the screen printing assembly 6. During this process, the controller 11 starts the cylinder 12 to extend, prompting the cylinder 12 to push the screen printing assembly 6 downward. When the screen printing assembly 6 is connected to the carton on the conveyor belt 3, the screen printing assembly 6 performs silk-screen processing on the carton. This reciprocating process is used to achieve printing of batch cartons one by one.

[0030] Finally, it should be noted that the above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments or make equivalent replacements for some of the technical features therein. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
