[0036] like Figures 1 to 3As shown, the embodiment of the present invention provides a cloth feeding mechanism of a digital printing machine, comprising: an upper cloth frame 2; an upper cloth roller group 21, which is rotatably arranged on the upper cloth frame 2, and the upper cloth roller group 21 includes a first linkage frame 211, which is rotatably connected to the upper cloth frame 2, and an upper cloth roller 1 212 and an upper cloth roller 2 213 are rotatably arranged on both sides of the first linkage frame 211. It should be noted that the first linkage frame 211 can be driven to rotate by a driving mechanism; a first tensioning roller group 22, which is rotatably arranged on the upper cloth frame 2 and is located behind the upper cloth roller group 21. On the other side, the first tensioning roller group 22 includes a second linkage frame 221, and the second linkage frame 221 is rotatably connected to the upper cloth frame 2. The first tensioning roller 1 222 and the second tensioning roller 24 2 are rotatably arranged on both sides of the second linkage frame 221. It should be noted that the second linkage frame 221 can be driven to rotate by a driving mechanism; the second tensioning roller 24 is rotatably arranged on the upper cloth frame 2 and is located at the rear side of the first tensioning roller group 22; the third tensioning roller 25 is rotatably arranged on the upper cloth frame 2 and is located below the rear side of the second tensioning roller 24; the expansion roller 2 6, is rotatably arranged on the upper cloth frame 2 and is located at the rear side of the second tensioning roller 24; the fourth tensioning roller 27 is rotatably arranged on the upper cloth frame 2 and is located below the expansion roller 26; the fifth tensioning roller 28 is rotatably arranged on the upper cloth frame 2 and is located below the fourth tensioning roller 27; the sixth tensioning roller group 29 is rotatably arranged on the upper cloth frame 2 and is located above the fifth tensioning roller 28, the sixth tensioning roller group 29 includes a third linkage frame 291, the third linkage frame 291 is rotatably connected to the upper cloth frame 2, and the two ends of the third linkage frame 291 are connected. The side is rotatably provided with a sixth tensioning roller 1 292 and a sixth tensioning roller 2 293. It should be noted that the third linkage frame 291 can be driven and connected by a driving mechanism; the cloth feed roller 20 is rotatably provided on the upper cloth frame 2 and is located above the sixth tensioning roller group 29; wherein, a plurality of staggered separation grooves 261 are provided on the outer periphery of the middle of the expansion roller 26; the upper cloth driving mechanism 262 is provided on the upper cloth frame 2, and its output end is connected to the expansion roller 26. The upper cloth driving mechanism 262 is a driving motor and a reducer, and its output end is coaxially connected to the expansion roller 26.

[0037] In the embodiment of the present utility model, Figure 3As shown, the printed medium 1 passes through the upper cloth roller 1 212, the upper cloth roller 2 213, the first tensioning roller 2 223, the first tensioning roller 2 223, the second tensioning roller 24, the third tensioning roller 25, the expansion roller 26, the fourth tensioning roller 27, the fifth tensioning roller 28, the sixth tensioning roller 1 292, the sixth tensioning roller 2 293 and the cloth feed roller 20 in sequence, and is finally sent out from the cloth feed roller 20 to the printing carriage for printing. Among them, when the printing medium 1 passes by the upper cloth roller 1 212 and the upper cloth roller 2 213, the driving mechanism can drive the first linkage frame 211 to rotate to comb and tension the upper cloth. When the printing medium 1 passes by the first tensioning roller 1 222 and the first tensioning roller 2 223, the driving mechanism can drive the second linkage frame 221 to rotate, so that the positions of the first tensioning roller 1 222 and the first tensioning roller 2 223 are changed to comb and tension the cloth. Before sending out the cloth, similarly, when the printing medium 1 passes by the sixth tensioning roller 1 292 and the sixth tensioning roller 2 293, the driving mechanism can drive the third linkage frame 221 to rotate. The movable frame 291 rotates to comb and tension the printing medium 1 before feeding; further, the expansion roller 26 enables the printing medium 1 to expand to both sides during printing, and a separation groove is provided on the expansion roller. By setting the separation groove, it is possible to perform split printing, which can be divided into two, three, or even four sections. In this embodiment, it is two sections. The printing media can expand separately, and each section of the media is separated by the separation groove. It is possible to complete the transportation and printing of multiple groups of different widths at one time, adapt to the width of different media, reduce waste, improve printing efficiency, and the individual printing is not affected.

[0038] In some embodiments, as Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the upper cloth rack 2 is also provided with a correction component 23, and the correction component 23 is located between the first tensioning roller group 22 and the second tensioning roller 24. The correction component 23 includes a correction beam 232 and two groups of correction drive mechanisms 231. Two groups of correction belts 233 are provided on the top of both sides of the correction beam 232. The output ends of the two groups of correction drive mechanisms 231 are connected to the correction belts 233 one-to-one. Correction electric eyes 235 are also provided on both sides of the correction beam 232. A correction auxiliary roller 234 is also rotatably provided between the two groups of correction belts 233. In order to prevent the printing medium 1 from being deviated during transportation, a deflection correction electric eye 235 is set, and the printing medium 1 is kept between two groups of deflection correction electric eyes 235. Once the printing medium 1 is deviated, when the deflection correction electric eye 235 senses that the printing medium 1 is deviated, the corresponding deflection correction drive mechanism 231 will be started to drive the deflection correction belt 233 to move. The deflection correction belt 233 drives the printing medium 1 to move, thereby achieving the deflection correction function. When the deflection correction is in the correct position and the deflection correction electric eye 235 is not in the sensing state, the deflection correction drive mechanism will work.

[0039] In some embodiments, as Figures 1 to 3As shown, the fifth tensioning roller 28 is configured to move up and down. Specifically, sliders can be provided on both sides of the fifth tensioning roller 28. The sliders are threaded together with a lead screw and a drive mechanism. The drive mechanism drives the lead screw to rotate, causing the sliders to move up and down, thereby allowing the fifth tensioning roller 28 to move up and down, thereby maintaining the print medium 1 in a tensioned state and ensuring printing accuracy.

[0040] Note that the above are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention and the technical principles employed. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments described herein, and that various obvious changes, readjustments, and substitutions are possible for those skilled in the art without departing from the scope of protection of the present invention.
