Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of offset printing, and in particular to an automatic paper feeding device for offset printing machines. Background Technology

[0002] Offset printing press, also known as planographic offset printing press, is a widely used printing equipment. It works based on the principle of "oil and water are immiscible," and is an indirect printing method that transfers the image from the printing plate to a rubber blanket, and then from the rubber blanket to paper or other substrates. This method can provide high-quality printing results and is suitable for high-volume printing tasks.

[0003] Traditional offset printing machines typically use suction cups to pick up paper and then use a conveyor belt to transport it. However, during the paper picking process, the paper itself sticks together, causing the number of sheets loaded at one time to exceed one sheet, which affects the normal printing of the offset printing machine and needs to be improved. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, the purpose of this utility model is to provide an automatic paper feeding device for offset printing machines, which has the effect of precise feeding.

[0029] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0030] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, an automatic paper feeding device for an offset printing machine includes a base 1, a feeding platform 2, a conveyor belt 3, a support frame 4, a slide 5, a sliding plate 6, a sliding rod 7, a suction cup 8, and a spring 9.

[0031] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, the base 1 is vertically set on the ground, and the feeding platform 2 is horizontally set on the base 1 and is used to support the paper. The end of the feeding platform 2 is horizontally rotatably connected to a fine roller 21. Both sides of the feeding platform 2 are vertically set with clamping plates 22. The feeding platform 2 is equipped with a drive mechanism 23 that controls the clamping plates 22 to move closer or further apart.

[0032] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, the drive mechanism 23 includes a drive block 24, a bidirectional screw 25, and a handwheel 26. The drive block 24 is disposed on the lower end face of the clamping plate 22, the bidirectional screw 25 is horizontally rotatably connected to the loading table 2 and threadedly connected to the drive block 24, and the handwheel 26 is disposed on the outer end of the bidirectional screw 25.

[0033] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, the conveyor belt 3 is horizontally positioned at the end of the loading platform 2 and is used for feeding and transporting paper. A gantry frame 31 is provided at the beginning of the conveyor belt 3, and a paper-pressing roller 32 is rotatably connected to the gantry frame 31 to abut against the surface of the conveyor belt 3.

[0034] like Figure 1 , Figure 2As shown, the support frame 4 is vertically mounted on the side wall of the base 1, and the slide block 5 is horizontally slidably connected to the support frame 4. An electric cylinder 41 is mounted on the support frame 4 to control the horizontal sliding of the slide block 5. A sliding plate 6 is horizontally mounted below the slide block 5, and a pneumatic cylinder 51 is mounted on the slide block 5 to control the vertical sliding of the sliding plate 6.

[0035] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, the sliding rod 7 is vertically slidably connected to the four corners of the sliding plate 6, the suction cup 8 is set at the lower end of the sliding rod 7, and the spring 9 is sleeved on the outer wall of the sliding rod 7 and distributed above and below the sliding plate 6.

[0036] When paper needs to be fed and transported, the entire stack of paper is placed on the feeding platform 2. Then, the handwheel 26 is controlled to drive the bidirectional screw 25 to rotate. The bidirectional screw 25 drives a pair of drive blocks 24 to move closer to each other. The drive blocks 24 drive the clamping plate 22 to move synchronously and clamp both sides of the paper to achieve the limiting of the entire stack of paper.

[0037] Then, cylinder 51 drives sliding plate 6 downward, which in turn drives sliding rod 7 and suction cup 8 downward, adsorbing the top layer of paper. Subsequently, cylinder 51 drives sliding plate 6 upward, lifting the top layer of paper. At the same time, springs 9 above and below sliding plate 6 extend and retract freely, causing sliding rod 7 and suction cup 8 to vibrate freely, shaking off any stuck-together paper and ensuring stable feeding of individual sheets.

[0038] Then, the electric cylinder 41 controls the slide block 5 to slide horizontally, so that the paper moves toward the conveyor belt 3. When the paper passes the position of the fine roller 21, the fine roller 21 automatically cleans the paper that has been adsorbed, peels off the paper that is stuck together, and ensures stable feeding of single sheets of paper.

[0039] The sliding block 5 then moves to transport the paper to the starting position of the conveyor belt 3, where it follows the conveyor belt 3. Simultaneously, with the cooperation of the pressure roller 32, stable paper transport is achieved, completing the automatic feeding of the first sheet of paper. The above steps are then repeated to feed sheets of paper one by one.

[0040] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, the base 1 includes a bottom tube 11, a bottom rod 12, an airbag 13, and an inflation mechanism 14. The bottom tube 11 is vertically set on the ground. The bottom rod 12 is connected to the loading platform 2 and is vertically slidably connected to the bottom tube 11. The airbag 13 is set inside the bottom tube 11 and is located below the bottom rod 12.

[0041] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3As shown, the inflation mechanism 14 is connected to the airbag 13. The inflation mechanism 14 includes an air pump 15, a connecting pipe 16, and a linkage rod 17. The air pump 15 is vertically mounted on the slide block 5. The connecting pipe 16 connects the air pump 15 and the airbag 13. The linkage rod 17 is mounted on the sliding plate 6 and is connected to the push-pull rod of the air pump 15.

[0042] Before feeding the paper, the air bladder 13 is deflated, and then the paper is placed on the feeding platform 2. As the paper is fed, the sliding plate 6 will move vertically back and forth repeatedly. At this time, the sliding plate 6 drives the linkage rod 17 to move synchronously, and drives the push-pull rod on the air pump 15 to move back and forth, so that the air pump 15 is inflated one after another, and the air is filled into the air bladder 13. The expansion of the air bladder 13 gradually pushes the bottom rod 12 and the feeding platform 2 upward, ensuring that other papers automatically float after the paper is picked up, and achieving stable paper feeding.

[0043] The specific embodiments are merely explanations of this utility model and are not intended to limit it. After reading this specification, those skilled in the art can make modifications to these embodiments without contributing any inventive step, but such modifications are protected by patent law as long as they fall within the scope of the claims of this utility model.
