A uniform inkjet printer for stainless steel is an industrial-grade printing device primarily used for precise inkjet printing on the surface of stainless steel materials. This device has a wide range of applications, including but not limited to printing patterns, text, or barcodes on stainless steel sheets, suitable for product identification and tracking.

[0003] However, the existing device does not have a component for plasma treatment of the surface of stainless steel before spraying, which cannot improve its surface properties, enhance ink adhesion, and replace the plasma treatment component if it is damaged. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this application is to provide a uniform inkjet printing device for stainless steel, in order to solve the problems that the aforementioned device does not have a component for plasma treatment of the surface of stainless steel before spraying, thus failing to improve its surface properties and enhance ink adhesion, and that the plasma treatment component cannot be replaced when damaged.

[0005] The technical solution adopted in this application is as follows: it includes an ink supply body, a plasma equipment mounting slot is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the ink supply body, a power supply and gas supply interface is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the plasma equipment mounting slot, an atmospheric plasma generator is fitted onto the upper surface of the plasma equipment mounting slot, multiple compressed gas cylinders are threaded onto the upper surface of the atmospheric plasma generator, multiple docking rings are fixedly installed on the upper surface of the plasma equipment mounting slot, and bolts are installed on the internal threads of the atmospheric plasma generator and the docking rings.

[0006] By adopting the above technical solution, a plasma equipment mounting slot is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the ink supply unit. A power supply and gas supply interface is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the plasma equipment mounting slot. An atmospheric plasma generator is fitted onto the upper surface of the plasma equipment mounting slot. Multiple compressed gas cylinders are threaded onto the upper surface of the atmospheric plasma generator. Multiple docking rings are fixedly installed on the upper surface of the plasma equipment mounting slot. Bolts are threaded onto the atmospheric plasma generator and the docking rings. The ink supply unit serves as the mounting base for the entire device, connecting the various components. The plasma equipment mounting slot provides a location for installing the plasma components. The power supply and gas supply interface internally includes a power supply and control interface connected to the internal circuitry of the ink supply unit, as well as a pipe interface for supplying generated gas to the outside, ensuring the plasma assembly can operate normally after installation. The atmospheric plasma generator, as the main component of the plasma assembly, generates plasma and utilizes the high-energy particles generated by the plasma to ionize the stainless steel surface. Physical or chemical modifications are performed to improve surface properties and enhance ink adhesion. Simultaneously, plasma removes oil, dust, oxide layers, and other impurities from stainless steel surfaces, providing a clean base for subsequent inkjet printing. Compressed gas cylinders provide the gas source needed to generate plasma for the atmospheric plasma generator, ensuring proper component operation. The inner ring of the docking ring aligns with the threaded holes in the atmospheric plasma generator, providing a connection for fixing the atmospheric plasma generator to the outer surface of the plasma equipment mounting slot.

[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, multiple first slide rails are opened on the lower surface of the ink supply unit. The first electric slider is installed inside the first slide rail. The combination of the first slide rail and the first electric slider limits the movement of the first electric slider to a certain range, preventing the first electric slider from deviating during the movement. The first electric slider moves within the range limited by the first slide rail. The combination of the two provides the movement space for the left and right spraying and printing work of the device.

[0009] In a preferred embodiment, a fixing block is fixedly mounted on the lower surface of the first electric slider, and a plurality of ink nozzles are fixedly mounted on the lower surface of the fixing block.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, a fixing block is fixedly installed on the lower surface of the first electric slider, and multiple ink nozzles are fixedly installed on the lower surface of the fixing block.

The docking valve is connected to the ink component after it is connected, so that ink can enter the device.

[0015] In a preferred embodiment, a corrugated hose is fixedly installed on the lower surface of the docking valve through the ink supply unit, and a delivery pump is fixedly installed on the other end of the corrugated hose.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, a corrugated hose is fixedly installed through the ink supply unit on the lower surface of the docking valve. A delivery pump is fixedly installed at the other end of the corrugated hose. The corrugated hose is used to guide the ink stored inside the ink assembly to be delivered to the delivery pump. The lower surface of the delivery pump is fixedly connected to the ink nozzle through a fixing block. The delivery pump can control the ink flow rate delivered by the corrugated hose and apply pressure to the ink so that it can enter the ink nozzle to spray the ink.

[0017] In a preferred embodiment, an ink cartridge is fitted into the interior of the ink cartridge mounting slot, and a screw cap is fixedly mounted on the upper surface of the ink cartridge.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, the ink cartridge is fitted inside the ink cartridge mounting slot, and a screw cap is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the ink cartridge. The two sets of ink cartridges store white ink and coloring ink respectively. The white ink has good adhesion, covering power and stability to ensure that a uniform and firm white pattern is formed on the stainless steel surface. The coloring ink sprays the prepared colored ink onto the stainless steel surface that has been sprayed with white ink, thereby completing the spraying work. By opening the screw cap, ink can be added to the ink cartridge without removing the ink cartridge from inside the ink cartridge mounting slot.

[0019] In a preferred embodiment, a second electric slider is fixedly installed on the outer surfaces of the left and right sides of the ink supply unit, and a second slide rail is fitted onto the lower surface of the second electric slider.

The second slide rail limits the range of motion of the second electric slider and prevents the second electric slider from deviating from the direction of movement.

[0021] In summary, due to the adoption of the above technical solution, the beneficial effects of this application are:

[0022] In this application, the atmospheric plasma generator serves as a key component of the plasma assembly. By generating plasma, it utilizes the high-energy particles produced by the plasma to physically or chemically modify the stainless steel surface, thereby improving its surface properties and enhancing ink adhesion. Simultaneously, the plasma can remove oil, dust, oxide layers, and other impurities adhering to the stainless steel surface. The plasma assembly is secured by screwing bolts into the mating ring and the interior of the atmospheric plasma generator. Loosening the bolts from the mating ring and the interior of the atmospheric plasma generator allows damaged plasma assemblies to be removed and replaced with new components. By installing a component in this device for plasma-ionizing the surface of stainless steel before spraying, its surface properties can be improved, ink adhesion enhanced, and the plasma-ionized component can be replaced if damaged.
