Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0023] Please see Figure 1-4 This embodiment provides a technical solution: a ceramic surface decal device, including a worktable 1 and a continuous decal mechanism 2;
[0024] Workbench 1: Its upper surface is provided with a decal mounting bracket 3, and also includes a microcontroller 8. The microcontroller 8 is located on the front side of the upper surface of the workbench 1, and the input terminal of the microcontroller 8 is electrically connected to an external power supply.
[0025] Continuous decal mechanism 2: It includes a connecting shaft 21, a connecting frame 22, a mounting frame 23, a ceramic placement mold 24, a doctor blade 25, a worm gear 26, and a worm 27. The connecting shaft 21 is rotatably connected to the middle of the upper surface of the worktable 1. The connecting frame 22 is provided on the upper side of the outer arc surface of the connecting shaft 21. The mounting frames 23 are fixedly connected to the outer surface of the connecting frame 22. The upper surface of each of the three mounting frames 23 is provided with a ceramic placement mold 24, and the lower surface of each of the three mounting frames 23 is provided with a doctor blade 25. The worm gear 26 is fixedly sleeved on the lower side of the outer arc surface of the connecting shaft 21. The worm 27 is rotatably connected between the front and rear inner walls of the worktable 1. The worm gear 26 and the worm 27 are meshed together. It also includes a pad printing mechanism 4, which includes a cylinder 41 and a connecting rod 42. The decal mounting frame 3 consists of two sliding cylinders 43, two sliding rods 44, and two printing heads 45. The sliding cylinders 43 are evenly distributed on the lower side wall of the decal mounting frame 3. The sliding rods 44 are slidably connected inside the two sliding cylinders 43. The lower ends of the two sliding rods 44 are respectively equipped with printing heads 45. The upper ends of the two sliding rods 44 are fixedly connected to the lower surface of a connecting rod 42. The upper surface of the decal mounting frame 3 is equipped with a cylinder 41. The telescopic end of the cylinder 41 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the connecting rod 42. The air inlet of the cylinder 41 is connected to an external air pump. The upper rear side of the worktable 1 is equipped with a motor 5. The output shaft of the motor 5 is fixedly connected to the rear end of the worm gear 27. The input end of the motor 5 is electrically connected to the output end of the microcontroller 8. The upper surface of the worktable 1 is equipped with evenly distributed pad printing ink cups 7. The two pad printing ink cups 7 are positioned vertically above and below the two doctor blades 25. Correspondingly, the inlets of the two pad printing ink cups 7 are connected to external ink supply equipment. A drying fan 6 is located on the front right side of the interior of the decal mounting frame 3. The outlet of the drying fan 6 extends to the lower surface of the decal mounting frame 3. The input of the drying fan 6 is electrically connected to the output of the microcontroller 8. An oil wiping sponge 9 is located on the front right side of the upper surface of the worktable 1. The oil wiping sponge 9 corresponds vertically to the drying fan 6. When the decal device is needed, the ceramic placement mold 24, corresponding to the ceramic shape, is installed onto the mounting frame 23. At this time, the external ink supply equipment can be adjusted, and the decal ink fills the interior of the front pad printing ink cups 7. Then, the microcontroller 8 is adjusted, and the motor 5 rotates. The output shaft of the motor 5 rotates a specified number of times, thereby driving the worm gear 27 to rotate a specified number of times. The rotating shaft 21 rotates clockwise by the worm gear 26, causing it to rotate 60 degrees. During this time, the doctor blade 25 on the front side also rotates clockwise by 60 degrees to scrape off excess decal ink from the front printing ink cup 7. Then, the external air pump is adjusted, and the cylinder 41 extends and retracts once, causing the front print head 45 to move downwards to a designated position and then retract, temporarily adsorbing the ink on the front printing ink cup 7 onto the front print head 45. After the ink adsorption is complete, the external ink supply device refills the printing ink cup 7 with decal ink. At this time, the ceramic can be placed on the front ceramic placement mold 24. Then, the microcontroller 8 is adjusted, and the three mounting brackets 23 rotate clockwise by 30 degrees around the axis of the connecting shaft 21.The ceramic to be printed is moved to the lower end of the left front printing head 45. The cylinder 41 extends and retracts once, and the two printing heads 45 move downward to a designated position and then retract, adhering the ink to the outer surface of the ceramic to be printed. At the same time, the microcontroller 8 continues to control the three mounting brackets 23 to continue rotating clockwise 30 degrees around the axis of the connecting shaft 21. During the two clockwise 30-degree rotations of the three mounting brackets 23, the doctor blade 25 also scrapes off excess ink inside the pad printing ink cup 7. At this time, the pad printing ink cup 7 is exposed. The cylinder 41 extends and retracts once, and the two printing heads 45 move downward to a designated position and then retract, with ink adhering to the outer surface of both printing heads 45. At this time, the ceramic can be placed in the frontmost ceramic placement mold. 24. As the three mounting brackets 23 rotate clockwise by 30 degrees, the two printing heads 45 extend and retract once, leaving the ink adhering to the surface of the two ceramics. This process is repeated. At this point, the microcontroller 8 and drying fan 6 can be activated. The drying fan 6 continuously blows heat onto the ceramics that have undergone two decal applications below it, drying them. Then, the ceramics will move to the front. The ceramic at the front is then manually removed from the mold 24, and a new ceramic is placed on top. Each time the squeegee 25 passes the wiping sponge 9, it wipes the ink off the surface. Simultaneously, the drying fan 6 continues to blow heat onto the wiping sponge 9, drying the ink, allowing for continuous ceramic surface decal application.
[0026] The working principle of the ceramic surface decal device provided by this utility model is as follows: When the decal device is needed, the ceramic placement mold 24 corresponding to the ceramic shape is installed on the mounting frame 23. At this time, the external ink supply equipment can be adjusted, and the decal ink fills the interior of the front pad printing ink cup 7. Then, the microcontroller 8 is adjusted, and the motor 5 is turned. The output shaft of the motor 5 rotates a specified number of times, which drives the worm gear 27 to rotate a specified number of times. In turn, the worm wheel 26 drives the connecting shaft 21 to change its position clockwise by 60 degrees. During this period, the front scraper blade 25 also changes its position clockwise by 60 degrees to scrape off the excess ink inside the front pad printing ink cup 7. The decal ink is applied, and then the external air pump is adjusted, causing cylinder 41 to extend and retract once. The front printing head 45 moves downward to a designated position and then retracts, temporarily adsorbing the ink on the front printing ink cup 7 onto the front printing head 45. After the ink adsorption is complete, the external ink supply device refills the printing ink cup 7 with decal ink. At the same time, the ceramic can be placed on the front ceramic placement mold 24. Then, the microcontroller 8 is adjusted, and the three mounting brackets 23 rotate clockwise 30 degrees around the axis of the connecting shaft 21. At this time, the ceramic to be printed moves to the lower end of the left front printing head 45, and cylinder 41 extends and retracts once, causing both printing heads 45 to move downward to a designated position. Then it retracts, adhering the ink to the outer surface of the ceramic to be printed. Simultaneously, the microcontroller 8 continues to control the three mounting brackets 23, which continue to rotate clockwise by 30 degrees around the axis connecting the rotating shaft 21. During these two 30-degree clockwise rotations of the three mounting brackets 23, the doctor blade 25 also scrapes away excess ink from inside the pad printing ink cup 7, exposing the pad printing ink cup 7. The cylinder 41 then extends and retracts once, moving the two printing heads 45 downwards to a designated position before retracting. Ink adheres to the outer surface of both printing heads 45. At this point, the ceramic can be placed onto the frontmost ceramic placement mold 24. The three mounting brackets 23 then rotate clockwise by 30 degrees again. During rotation, the two printing heads 45 extend and retract once, leaving the ink adhering to the surface on the outer surface of the two ceramics. The above process is repeated. At this time, the microcontroller 8 can be controlled to operate the drying fan 6. The drying fan 6 continuously blows heat, sequentially blowing it onto the ceramics that have undergone two decals below the drying fan 6, drying them. Then, it will move to the front. At this time, the ceramic at the front is manually removed from the mold 24, and a new ceramic is placed. Each time the ink scraper 25 passes the wiping sponge 9, it wipes the ink on its surface dry. At the same time, the drying fan 6 continues to blow heat onto the wiping sponge 9, drying the ink, so that the ceramic surface decal operation can be carried out continuously.
[0027] It is worth noting that the microcontroller 8 disclosed in the above embodiments is specifically model S7-200. The motor 5, cylinder 41, drying fan 6, and pad printing ink cup 7 can be freely configured according to the actual application scenario. It is recommended that the motor 5 be an SS3401A30AB3.6 eccentric gear reducer stepper motor, the cylinder 41 be an SMC series standard cylinder, the drying fan 6 be an HCW series small drying fan, and the pad printing ink cup 7 be a general-purpose pad printing ink cup. The microcontroller 8 controls the operation of the motor 5 and the drying fan 6 using methods commonly used in the prior art.
