Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of UV flatbed printers, in particular to a UV flatbed printer and an X-axis driving mechanism thereof. Background Art

[0002] A UV flatbed printer is a digital printing device that uses ultraviolet curing inkjet technology. It is also called a UV inkjet printer or a flatbed UV machine. It can print images or text directly onto the surface of various flat materials.

[0003] The UV flatbed printer mainly includes a working platform, an X-axis drive mechanism, a Y-axis drive mechanism, a crossbeam, and a printing module installed on the crossbeam. The crossbeam extends along the X-axis direction. The printing module can move on the crossbeam under the action of the X-axis drive mechanism and perform scanning and printing in the X-axis direction; the crossbeam can drive the printing module to move along the Y-axis direction under the action of the Y-axis drive mechanism to perform step-by-step printing to increase the width.

[0004] One form of the X-axis drive mechanism in the prior art is as follows Figure 1 As shown, it includes a drive motor 102, a cast aluminum frame 101, a pagoda pulley 103 and a synchronous belt 107, wherein the cast aluminum frame 101 is an integral cast structure, which is fixedly connected to the end of the beam as a whole, and the drive motor 102 is embedded in and locked in the cast aluminum frame 101, and a synchronous pulley 104 is connected to the output shaft of the drive motor 102, and a synchronous belt 107 is connected between the synchronous pulley 104 and the pagoda pulley 103; the interior of the pagoda pulley 103 is provided with two bearings arranged at intervals up and down, and a transmission shaft 106 is passed through the bearings, and the upper and lower ends of the transmission shaft 106 respectively pass through the cast aluminum frame 101, and a retaining spring 105 is respectively provided between the upper and lower ends of the transmission shaft 106 and the cast aluminum frame 101; a conveyor belt is wound around the small-diameter wheel body of the pagoda pulley 103, and the printing module is connected to the conveyor belt. When the pagoda pulley 103 rotates, it can drive the conveyor belt to move, thereby driving the printing module to move in the X-axis direction.

[0005] The above X-axis drive mechanism has the following disadvantages in actual use:

[0006] 1. When the cast aluminum frame is cast, the size of the mounting hole for mounting the motor is fixed, which can only adapt to the installation of motors with specific power. In occasions where high power is required, the cast aluminum frame is difficult to match and has poor versatility.

[0007] 2. After the cast aluminum frame is fixed to the crossbeam, the installation height of the motor and the pagoda pulley is fixed. The installation height of the corresponding conveyor belt used to drive the printing module is also fixed. It is not suitable for UV flatbed printers with different conveyor belt installation heights and has poor versatility.

[0008] 3. The upper and lower ends of the drive shaft are clamped on the cast aluminum frame through retaining springs. During long-term operation, the drive shaft is prone to wear. When disassembling, you need to remove the retaining springs first, and then remove the conveyor belt and pagoda pulley, which is inconvenient to disassemble. Utility Model Content

[0009] The purpose of the present utility model is to provide an X-axis drive mechanism for a UV flatbed printer to solve the technical problem of poor versatility of the existing X-axis drive mechanism for UV flatbed printers; the purpose of the present utility model is also to provide a UV flatbed printer to meet the printing needs of different scenarios.

[0010] To solve the above problems, the X-axis drive mechanism for the UV flatbed printer provided by the present invention adopts the following technical solutions:

[0011] The X-axis drive mechanism for a UV flatbed printer includes a mounting frame, a motor and a pagoda wheel. The pagoda wheel is assembled in the mounting frame through a transmission shaft. The mounting frame is provided with a through hole for the output shaft of the power supply motor to pass through. The motor is connected to the pagoda wheel through a synchronous belt. The pagoda wheel is connected to a conveyor belt arranged above and below the synchronous belt for driving the printing module to move along the X-axis direction. An adjustment pad is installed on the top of the motor. The adjustment pad is provided with a through hole for the output shaft of the power supply motor to pass through. The adjustment pad is located below the mounting frame and is detachably connected to the mounting frame.

[0012] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: the motor of the present invention is detachably connected to the mounting frame via a pad, that is, the motor can be disassembled along with the adjustment pad and the mounting frame. Since the adjustment pad is located below the mounting frame, that is, the main body of the motor is located below the mounting frame, the mounting frame only needs to be provided with a through hole for the output shaft of the power supply to pass through. After removing the adjustment pad and motor, the entire motor can be replaced with a higher-power motor, which can then be fastened to the mounting frame. The present invention uses an adjustment pad to secure the motor, rather than directly locking the motor into the embedded mounting frame, and thus enables the motor to be disassembled and replaced to meet printing needs in different scenarios.

[0013] Furthermore, the position of the adjustment pad is adjustable in a direction perpendicular to the X-axis.

[0014] Beneficial effect: When the adjusting pad is adjusted, the position of the motor is also adjusted. When the motor moves, it can pull the synchronous belt, thereby adjusting the tightness of the synchronous belt.

[0015] Furthermore, the adjustment pad is L-shaped, including a horizontal plate body and a vertical plate body, the mounting frame is provided with an adjustment long hole extending perpendicular to the X-axis direction, the horizontal plate body is provided with a fixing hole corresponding one-to-one to the adjustment long hole, and the adjustment long hole is movably equipped with a fixing member for passing through the fixing hole to fasten the horizontal plate body to the mounting frame, the vertical plate body is provided with at least two through holes arranged at intervals along the X-axis direction, the mounting frame is provided with a threaded hole corresponding one-to-one to the through holes and coaxial, and the through holes are provided with an adjustment bolt threadedly matched with the threaded hole.

[0016] Beneficial effect: When changing the position of the adjustment plate, the operation is more convenient. After loosening the adjusting bolt, the adjustment plate can be moved horizontally. The fixing parts can support the adjustment plate in the up and down directions. There is no need to disassemble the adjustment plate as a whole before adjusting the horizontal position.

[0017] Furthermore, the mounting frame is provided with a plurality of leveling holes distributed around the through opening, and the leveling holes are threaded with leveling bolts, and the ends of the leveling bolts are used to interfere with the horizontal plate to adjust the output shaft of the motor to a state parallel to the transmission shaft.

[0018] Beneficial effect: The leveling bolt can adjust the horizontality of the leveling plate, and can adjust the adjustment plate to a horizontal state, thereby ensuring that the output shaft of the motor is parallel to the transmission shaft, so as to achieve stable movement of the pagoda wheel and the conveyor belt.

[0019] Furthermore, the mounting frame is provided with upper and lower corresponding U-shaped notches, and a flange bearing is clamped at each U-shaped notch. The transmission shaft passes through the pagoda wheel and is assembled with two flange bearings, and both ends of the transmission shaft extend out of the mounting frame respectively.

[0020] Beneficial effects: Flange bearings can replace existing retaining springs to achieve stable assembly of the drive shaft and the mounting frame, and correspondingly achieve stable assembly of the pagoda pulley; in addition, flange bearings are relatively easy to install and disassemble. When the drive shaft and the pagoda pulley are damaged after long-term operation, the flange bearing can be moved out along the U-shaped notch, and the drive shaft and the pagoda pulley can be disassembled as a whole without the need to disassemble each one separately.

[0021] Furthermore, the mounting frame includes a bottom plate, a top plate, an adjustment plate and a mounting plate. The bottom plate and the top plate are arranged parallel and spaced apart in the up and down directions. The adjustment plate is connected to the same end of the bottom plate and the top plate. The mounting plate is located on the side of the adjustment plate facing away from the top plate and the bottom plate. The mounting plate is used to be fixed to the crossbeam. The top plate and the bottom plate are both provided with the U-shaped notch. The adjustment plate is adjustable in position in the up and down directions on the mounting plate. The bottom plate, the top plate and the adjustment plate form a U-shaped mounting area. The U-shaped notch is opened on the top plate and the bottom plate. The synchronous belt, the pagoda pulley and the motor output shaft are all located in the mounting area.

[0022] Beneficial effects: The mounting frame has a simple structure and can be manufactured and installed in parts; in addition, the position of the lower adjustment plate can be adjusted to be suitable for conveyor belts with different installation heights, thereby improving the versatility of the entire X-axis drive mechanism.

[0023] Furthermore, the mounting plate is provided with multiple rows of connection holes spaced apart in an upper and lower manner, and the adjustment plate is provided with at least one row of fixed long holes, which extend in the upper and lower directions. The distance between two adjacent connection holes in each row is equal to the distance between two adjacent fixed long holes in each row.

[0024] Beneficial effect: It makes the position adjustment operation of the adjustment plate more convenient.

[0025] Furthermore, the upper end of the adjustment plate is located above the top plate, and the lower end of the adjustment plate is located below the bottom plate. The upper end and the lower end of the adjustment plate are both provided with a plurality of avoidance notches arranged at intervals.

[0026] Beneficial effect: After the mounting plate and the crossbeam are fixed, during the process of adjusting and fixing the adjustment plate, the avoidance notch can avoid the fasteners at the fixing position of the mounting plate and the crossbeam.

[0027] Furthermore, a U-shaped wire guard plate is detachably connected between the top plate and the bottom plate, and the pagoda wheel is located at a position corresponding to the U-shaped wire guard plate.

[0028] Beneficial effect: The U-shaped wire guard plate can separate the inner pagoda wheel from the cables on the outer side, thereby preventing the cables from being damaged by friction between the cables and the pagoda wheel.

Those skilled in the art should know that the embodiments described below are part of the embodiments of the present disclosure, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without making creative efforts shall fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0051] The principle and spirit of the present invention are explained in detail below with reference to several representative embodiments of the present invention.

[0052] Example 1 of the X-axis drive mechanism for a UV flatbed printer provided by the present invention:

[0053] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the X-axis drive mechanism for the UV flatbed printer includes a mounting frame 1, a motor 2, a pagoda pulley 3, a synchronous belt 6 and a synchronous pulley 4.

[0054] The mounting frame 1 is made of profiles, such as Figure 5 As shown, the mounting plate 10 includes a bottom plate 8, a top plate 7, an adjustment plate 9, and a mounting plate 10. The bottom plate 8 and the top plate 7 are arranged parallel to each other in a vertical direction. The adjustment plate 9 is connected to the same end of the bottom plate 8 and the top plate 7. The upper end of the adjustment plate 9 is located above the top plate 7, and the lower end of the adjustment plate 9 is located below the bottom plate 8. The upper and lower ends of the adjustment plate 9 are each provided with a plurality of avoidance notches 26 arranged at intervals perpendicular to the X-axis direction (i.e., the Y-axis direction).

[0055] The mounting plate 10 is located on the side of the adjustment plate 9 facing away from the top plate 7 and the bottom plate 8. The mounting plate 10 is used to be fixed to the beam. Mounting holes 28 are provided at the four corners thereof. Fasteners are inserted through the mounting holes 28 to fix the mounting plate 10 to the beam.

[0056] like Figure 3As shown, the mounting plate 10 is provided with multiple rows of connection holes 19 spaced apart from each other, with three spaced apart connection holes 19 in each row. Figure 5 As shown, two rows of fixed long holes 20 are provided on the adjustment plate 9, and the number of fixed long holes 20 in each row is the same as the number of connecting holes 19 in each row. There is no specific restriction on the number of rows of fixed long holes 20 and the number of rows of connecting holes 19, and they can be reasonably designed according to the size of the beam and the size of the mounting plate 10. In this embodiment, the number of rows of connecting holes 19 is greater than the number of rows of fixed long holes 20, and the fixed long holes 20 extend in the up and down directions. The distance between two adjacent connecting holes 19 in each row is equal to the distance between two adjacent fixed long holes 20 in each row. In this way, the adjustment plate 9 can be fixed at different positions of the mounting plate 10, that is, the installation height of the adjustment plate 9 can be adjusted. As shown Figure 2 As shown, by passing the first fixing bolt 17 through the fixing long hole 20 and the corresponding connecting hole 19 , the adjusting plate 9 and the mounting plate 10 can be fastened together.

[0057] like Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, the bottom plate 8, top plate 7 and adjustment plate 9 form a U-shaped installation area, and the pagoda wheel 3, transmission shaft 12, synchronous belt 6 and synchronous wheel 4 are all located in the installation area. The output shaft of the motor 2 is connected to the synchronous wheel 4, and the synchronous wheel 4 and the pagoda wheel 3 are driven by the synchronous belt 6. A through hole 29 for the output shaft of the power supply machine 2 is provided on the side of the pagoda wheel 3 on the bottom plate 8. The interior of the pagoda wheel 3 is assembled with the transmission shaft 12 through two bearings, and the pagoda wheel 3 is connected to a conveyor belt that is spaced apart from the synchronous belt 6 and is used to drive the printing module to move along the X-axis direction. The upper and lower ends of the transmission shaft 12 extend out of the top plate 7 and the bottom plate 8 respectively, as shown in FIG. Figure 5 As shown, the top plate 7 and the bottom plate 8 are provided with first U-shaped notches 11 at corresponding positions. Figure 3 As shown, each first U-shaped notch 11 is clamped with a flange bearing 13, and the two ends of the transmission shaft 12 are respectively assembled with two flange bearings 13. The two flange bearings 13 are respectively pressed onto the top plate 7 and the bottom plate 8 by relying on the steps thereon to maintain the stable installation of the transmission shaft 12, thereby ensuring the stable installation of the pagoda wheel 3. The pagoda wheel 3, the transmission shaft 12 and the flange bearings 13 can be assembled into a whole. When installing, the whole can be translated from the first U-shaped notch 11 and clamped at the first U-shaped notch 11. When disassembling, the whole can also be translated outward from the first U-shaped notch 11 and removed.

[0058] In this embodiment, Figure 4As shown, an adjustment pad 5 is installed on the top of the motor 2, and a through hole is provided on the adjustment pad 5 for the output shaft of the power supply 2 to pass through. The adjustment pad 5 is L-shaped and includes a horizontal plate 51 and a vertical plate 52. The horizontal plate 51 is located below the bottom plate 8, and the vertical plate 52 is located to the side of the bottom plate 8. The bottom plate 8 is provided with four rectangular adjustment holes 14, and the adjustment holes 14 extend perpendicular to the X-axis. The horizontal plate 51 is provided with fixing holes 53 corresponding to the adjustment holes 14, as shown in FIG. Figure 2 As shown, a second fixing bolt 21 is mounted in the adjustment slot 14. The second fixing bolt 21 passes through the fixing hole 53 and is threadedly connected to a nut, thereby securing the adjustment plate 5 to the mounting frame 1. Similarly, after removing the second fixing bolt 21 and nut, the adjustment plate 5 and motor 2 can be removed together, allowing a higher-power motor 2 to be replaced to meet the different speed requirements of the printing module. The second fixing bolt 21 is movable within the adjustment slot 14. The vertical plate 52 is provided with multiple through-holes spaced along the X-axis. The corresponding end of the base plate 8 is provided with threaded holes corresponding to and coaxial with the through-holes. The through-holes are provided with adjustment bolts 16 that threadably engage with the threaded holes. By loosening the adjusting bolts 16 and the nuts on the second fixing bolts 21, the adjustment plate 5 and motor 2 can be pulled to move in a direction perpendicular to the X-axis, thereby adjusting the tension of the timing belt 6. Once adjusted, the adjusting bolts 16 and nuts are tightened to keep the motor 2 securely mounted. In addition, four leveling holes 15 are provided on the base plate 8 and are distributed in a rectangular shape around the above-mentioned through opening 29. Leveling bolts 18 are threadedly connected in the leveling holes 15. The ends of the leveling bolts 18 are used to interfere with the horizontal plate body to adjust the output shaft of the motor 2 to a state parallel to the transmission shaft 12.

[0059] A notch is provided on the top plate 7 at the position corresponding to the motor 2, which is convenient for inserting tools such as wrenches. A first weight-reducing hole 23 is also provided on the top plate 7 beside the notch. Figure 2 As shown, a U-shaped wire guard plate 22 is detachably connected between the top plate 7 and the bottom plate 8. In this embodiment, the U-shaped opening of the U-shaped wire guard plate 22 faces the pagoda wheel 3, that is, the pagoda wheel 3 is located at a position corresponding to the U-shaped wire guard plate 22. Figure 6 As shown, the upper and lower side walls of the U-shaped wire guard plate 22 are respectively provided with corresponding second U-shaped notches 25. The U-shaped wire guard plate 22 is sandwiched between the top plate 7 and the bottom plate 8 and is fixed to the top plate 7 and the bottom plate 8 by third fixing bolts 27 provided in the second U-shaped notches 25. A plurality of second weight-reducing holes 24 are provided in the U-shaped wire guard plate 22.

[0060] The X-axis drive mechanism for the UV flatbed printer of the present invention can realize the disassembly and replacement of the motor 2, the adjustment of the installation height of the pagoda wheel 3 and the motor 2, and can also facilitate the overall disassembly and assembly of the transmission shaft 12 and the pagoda wheel 3. It can be applied to printing scenarios with different needs and has strong versatility.

[0061] Example 2 of the X-axis drive mechanism for a UV flatbed printer provided by the present invention:

[0062] The main difference between it and Example 1 is:

[0063] In embodiment 1, the position of the adjustment pad is adjustable in a direction perpendicular to the X-axis.

[0064] In the present embodiment, the position of the adjustment pad is fixed and cannot be adjusted. Now, in order to adjust the tightness of the synchronous belt, a tensioning wheel can be installed on the base plate in the position between the pagoda wheel and the synchronous wheel.

[0065] The embodiment of the UV flatbed printer provided by the present utility model:

[0066] The UV flatbed printer includes a frame, a beam mounted on the frame, a printing module movably mounted on the beam along the X-axis direction, and an X-axis drive mechanism mounted on the beam for driving the printing module to move along the X-axis direction. The structure of the X-axis drive mechanism is the same as that of the X-axis drive mechanism for the UV flatbed printer in the above-mentioned embodiments, and will not be described in detail here.

[0067] According to the above description of this specification, those skilled in the art may also understand that the terms used below, such as "upper", "lower", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inside", "outside" and other terms indicating orientation or positional relationships are based on the orientation or positional relationships shown in the drawings of this specification.
