[0015] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0016] like Figure 1 As shown, the label inkjet printing and drying integrated equipment in this embodiment includes a frame 1, a machine cover 2, a conveyor belt 3, a driving wheel 4, a driven wheel 5, a driving motor 6, a suction cup assembly 7, a printer head 8, a UV curing lamp 9 and an industrial camera 10.

[0017] Hood 2 is positioned above and in the center of frame 1. Conveyor belt 3 is horizontally mounted on frame 1, with its center portion located within hood 2 and its ends extending outside. Drive wheel 4 and driven wheel 5 are located at opposite ends of frame 1 and are in driving connection with conveyor belt 3. Drive motor 6 is positioned to one side of drive wheel 4 and is in driving connection with the drive motor 6. Labels to be printed are placed on conveyor belt 3, which is then driven by drive motor 6 to transport them into hood 2 for printing and drying.

[0018] The inkjet printer head 8 and UV curing lamp 9 are arranged side by side inside the machine cover 2 and above the conveyor belt 3, wherein the inkjet printer head 8 is close to the infeed end of the conveyor belt 3, and the UV curing lamp 9 is close to the outfeed end of the conveyor belt 3. The inkjet printer head 8 first prints the label, and then the UV curing lamp 9 cures the printed label with ultraviolet light.

[0019] The inkjet printer head 8 is connected to the top of the hood 2 through a lifting unit 11. The height of the inkjet printer head 8 can be appropriately adjusted through the lifting unit 11 to adapt to different product printing requirements; wherein, the other end of the inkjet printer head 8 is connected to the main part of the inkjet printer (not shown in the figure). The inkjet printer head 8 and the main part of the inkjet printer both adopt conventional technical means in this field. The lifting unit 11 can adopt commonly used linear drive methods such as air cylinders, oil cylinders, electric push rods, linear modules, etc.

[0020] The suction cup assembly 7 is disposed inside the hood 1 and located on the inner side of the conveyor belt 3 . Specifically, the suction cup assembly 7 faces the bottom surface of the upper conveyor belt 3 .

[0021] like Figure 2 As shown, a plurality of through holes 12 are provided on the surface of the conveyor belt 3, and baffles 13 and a plurality of adjustment slots 14 are provided on both sides of the conveyor belt 3. The baffles 13 are arranged along the length direction of the conveyor belt 3, and the plurality of adjustment slots 14 are arranged at intervals along the width direction of the conveyor belt 3. The baffles 13 are movably connected to the adjustment slots 14 by bolts 15. By adjusting the position of the baffles 13, the usable width of the conveyor belt 3 can be changed to adapt to label papers of different widths, thereby effectively limiting the label papers.

[0022] The industrial camera 10 is arranged on one side of the inkjet printer head 8. The industrial camera 10 is connected to the drive motor 6, the suction cup assembly 7, and the inkjet printer head 8 through electrical signals. When the label paper is transported to the bottom of the inkjet printer head 8, the industrial camera 10 recognizes the position of the label paper and sends an electrical signal to the drive motor 6, the suction cup assembly 7 and the inkjet printer head 8; the drive motor 6 first stops running, so that the label paper stops directly under the inkjet printer head 8, and then the suction cup assembly 7 works to generate negative pressure airflow, and absorbs the label paper to the surface of the conveyor belt 3 through the through hole 12, thereby stabilizing the position of the label paper, and then the inkjet printer head 8 prints the label paper; after the inkjet printer head 8 completes the work, it sends an electrical signal to the drive motor 6 to resume the operation of the drive motor 6, thereby realizing continuous printing of labels.

[0023] During the interval when the label paper stays, the UV curing lamp 9 simultaneously performs UV curing on the printed label, eliminating the need to transfer the label to a drying device for drying, thereby saving process flow and improving label printing efficiency.

[0024] It should be noted that there are many ways for the industrial camera 10 to identify the position of the label paper, of which two are the most commonly used: one is to use the industrial camera 10 to take a photo of the label paper to identify it, and compare the taken photo of the label position with the position information preset in the background. When the two coincide, it means that the label paper has been delivered to the position, and the drive motor 6 can be notified to stop working at this time; the other is to pre-prepare identification points on the label paper in advance, such as punching holes or making notches at specific positions on the label paper. When the industrial camera 10 detects a specific identification point, it can notify the drive motor 6 to stop working.

[0025] In addition, the electrical signal connection method between the industrial camera 10 and the drive motor 6, the suction cup assembly 7, and the inkjet printer head 8 also adopts conventional technical means in this field, which will not be repeated here.

[0026] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
