[0037] Example:

[0038] See also Figure 1 The top surface imprinting device in a preferred embodiment of the present invention includes a mobile platform 1, a base 2, and a pressure roller assembly. A first drive assembly 5 is provided on the mobile platform 1, and the base 2 is connected to the mobile platform 1 via the first drive assembly 5. It is understood that the mobile platform 1 can adopt an existing mature UVW platform. The first drive assembly 5 is the drive motor within the UVW platform. There can be multiple first drive assemblies 5, as long as they can drive the base 2 to move. Without further restriction, the base 2 can be a flat plate.

[0039] In a preferred embodiment, the pressing roller assembly includes a stamping member 3 and a rotating member 4. The rotating member 4 is connected to the stamping member 3 and can drive the stamping member 3 to rotate. The pressing roller assembly is connected to the base 2 and is relatively stationary relative to the base 2 in a first direction a and a second direction b. In a specific implementation, the rotating member 4 can be a DD module with existing mature technology, as long as it can drive the stamping member 3 to rotate. No further restrictions are imposed here.

[0040] Specifically, if Figure 1 As shown, in a preferred embodiment, the first driving assembly 5 includes a first driving member and a second driving member. The first driving member can drive the base 2 to move along a first direction a, and the second driving member can drive the base 2 to move along a second direction b. The first direction a is parallel to the extension direction of the stamping member 3, the second direction b is perpendicular to the first direction a, and the second direction b is also parallel to the plane of the base 2.

[0041] It is understood that the stamping member 3 can be specifically a roller, the extension direction of the stamping member 3 being the transverse direction of the roller, and the first direction a being also parallel to the plane of the base 2, that is, the plane formed by the first direction a and the second direction b is parallel to the base 2. The first driving member and the second driving member are arranged so that the base 2 can move along the first direction a or the second direction b. When adjustment is required, it can be adjusted according to actual conditions, thereby adapting to a wider range of situations.

[0042] In a preferred embodiment, one first driving member is provided and two second driving members are provided, so that rotational motion (including infinity) can be achieved with any point on the mobile platform 1 as the center, thereby enabling multi-directional adjustment of the base 2. Similarly, two first driving members and one second driving member can also be provided to achieve multi-directional adjustment of the base 2.

[0043] Furthermore, in a preferred embodiment, the rotating member 4 is fixedly connected to the base 2 , the stamping member 3 is connected to the base 2 , and the rotating member 4 is connected to the stamping member 3 and can drive the stamping member 3 to rotate.

[0044] It can be understood that when the base 2 is moved, the base 2 can also move the stamping member 3 connected thereto, thereby enabling adjustment of the stamping member 3 according to actual conditions. The material to be stamped passes through the bottom of the stamping member 3, and the stamping member 3 stamps the top surface of the material to be stamped. Therefore, the rotating member 4 and the first drive assembly 5 can be adjusted according to actual conditions, thereby adjusting the position and operating state of the stamping member 3. The rotating member 4 provides power to the stamping member 3 and can control the rotational speed of the stamping member 3. The rotation of the stamping member 3 can be adjusted according to actual conditions, thereby achieving a better stamping effect.

[0045] In a preferred embodiment, the material for manufacturing the stamping member 3 includes quartz, that is, the stamping member 3 can be made of a quartz roller to facilitate subsequent curing or other processes.

[0046] Preferably, the top surface imprinting device in the preferred embodiment further includes a mounting member 6 and a second drive assembly 7, wherein the mounting member 6 is fixedly connected to the base 2, and the second drive assembly 7 is fixedly connected to the mounting member 6. The arrangement of the mounting member 6 is mainly used to integrate the various devices connected to the base 2 and facilitate installation.

[0047] In the preferred embodiment, the second drive assembly 7 includes a third drive member 701, a guide rail 702, a connecting member 703, and an adjusting member 704. The guide rail 702 is fixedly connected to the mounting member 6 and is arranged parallel to the third direction c. The connecting member 703 is slidably connected to the guide rail 702. The connecting member 703 is also connected to the third drive member 701. The connecting member 703 is also connected to the adjusting member 704. The adjusting member 704 abuts the stamping member 3. The third drive member 701 can drive the connecting member 703 to move along the guide rail 702, and the connecting member 703 can drive the adjusting member 704 to move along the third direction c. The third direction c is perpendicular to the plane of the base 2, that is, the third direction c is perpendicular to the plane formed by the first direction a and the second direction b, that is, the vertical direction.

[0048] In a specific implementation, the third drive member 701 can be a pneumatic cylinder, and the adjustment member 704 can be a clamp. A second drive assembly 7 is provided with a connecting member 703, to which the third drive member 701 and multiple adjustment members 704 are connected. The connecting member 703 is connected at both ends to the guide rail 702, ensuring that the connecting member 703 can only move along the direction in which the guide rail 702 is set, i.e., the third direction c. In this way, when the third drive member 701 drives the connecting member 703 to move along the third direction c, the adjustment member 704 also moves along the third direction c. The clamp-type adjustment member 704 can control the height position of the stamping member 3. The radial force of the upper bearing of the clamp presses down on the stamping member 3, rotating synchronously with the stamping member 3.

[0049] Specifically, in a preferred embodiment, multiple second drive assemblies 7 are provided, with at least one second drive assembly 7 provided at each end of the stamping member 3 along the first direction a. That is, a second drive assembly 7 is provided at each end of the stamping member 3 in the extension direction. This arrangement allows the axial force of the bearing on the clamping adjustment member 704 to control the expansion sleeve side of the stamping member 3, limiting the fore-and-aft movement of the stamping member 3, that is, limiting the movement of the stamping member 3 in the first direction a relative to the base 2.

[0050] Similarly, in the preferred embodiment, at least one second drive assembly 7 is provided at the top and bottom of the stamping member 3. This allows the movement of the stamping member 3 in the third direction c to be adjusted at both the top and bottom of the stamping member 3, avoiding poor adjustment on one side.

[0051] Furthermore, in a preferred embodiment, the top surface imprinting device further includes a second support member 8, which is connected to the mounting member 6 and abuts against the imprinting member 3 to support the imprinting member 3. Preferably, a plurality of second support members 8 are provided and are respectively provided on both sides of the imprinting member 3. Figure 1 As shown, in the specific implementation, the second support member 8 can be a roller, and one is provided on each side of the stamping member 3 along the second direction b, or multiple rollers can be provided on each side, as long as they can play a good supporting role. Without making too many restrictions here, the setting of the second support member 8 can not only support the stamping member 3 but also control the position of the stamping member 3 to prevent it from moving relative to the base 2 along the second direction b, thereby ensuring the reliability of the stamping process.

[0052] Similarly, in a preferred embodiment, the top surface imprinting device further includes a first support member, which is fixedly connected to the base 2 and located at the bottom of the imprinting member 3, for supporting the material to be imprinted. That is, the first support member is located below the imprinting member 3. Since the material to be imprinted is also located below the imprinting member 3 to achieve imprinting of the imprinted material, the first support member for supporting the material to be imprinted is disposed below the material to be imprinted. Rollers may be used, and two rollers may be provided on either side of the material to be imprinted, depending on the material to be imprinted, to facilitate feeding, pressing, and ejection of the material to be imprinted.

[0053] The top surface stamping device of the present invention can adjust the stamping part in real time during the stamping process, and can adjust the stamping part in three directions to ensure that the adjustment can meet the needs. At the same time, the support and adjustment parts are provided to maintain the stability of the stamping part during operation, ensuring the reliability of the stamping part. The overall device has good practical value and application prospects.

[0054] It will be easily understood by those skilled in the art that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention shall be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
