[0001] This utility model relates to the field of tinplate printing machines, and in particular to a cleaning device for the printing roller of a tinplate printing machine. Background Technology
[0002] A metal printing press is a type of mechanical equipment specifically designed for printing on metal sheets. This machine is primarily used for printing on metal packaging materials, such as metal sheets used to make food cans, beverage cans, cosmetic containers, and aerosol cans. Cleaning the impression cylinder of the metal printing press is a crucial step in ensuring print quality and maintaining the equipment.
[0003] The current method for cleaning the impression cylinder of a tinplate printing machine typically involves installing a scraper at the bottom of the machine. A drive assembly rotates the impression cylinder, causing it to come into contact with the scraper and scrape off dirt from the cylinder surface. However, cleaning the impression cylinder with a scraper is prone to incomplete cleaning, resulting in ink or paint residue. The cleaning effect is poor, and long-term use of the scraper can cause wear and even scratches on the cylinder surface, thus shortening the cylinder's lifespan and making it inconvenient to use.
[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to design a convenient tinplate printing machine tinplate cylinder cleaning device that can automatically spray water to rinse the tinplate cylinder while automatically brushing it, thereby improving the cleaning efficiency and effect of the tinplate cylinder, preventing scratches and damage to the tinplate cylinder, extending the service life of the tinplate cylinder. Utility Model Content
[0005] To overcome the shortcomings of current methods that use scrapers to clean the impression cylinder, such as ink or paint residue, poor cleaning effect, wear and scratches on the cylinder surface with prolonged use, shortening the cylinder's lifespan and causing inconvenience, this invention provides a convenient tinplate printing machine impression cylinder cleaning device that automatically sprays water to rinse and brush the impression cylinder, improving cleaning efficiency and effectiveness, preventing scratches and damage, extending the cylinder's lifespan.
[0006] Technical solution: A cleaning device for the impression cylinder of a tinplate printing machine includes a support frame, a cleaning box, a first motor, a lead screw, a guide rod, a slider, an impression cylinder, a drive assembly, and a cleaning assembly. The cleaning box is connected to the upper right side of the support frame, and the first motor is connected to the upper right side of the cleaning box. The output shaft of the first motor passes through the cleaning box and is connected to the lead screw. The lead screw is rotatably connected to the support frame. A guide rod is connected between the support frame and the upper part of the cleaning box. Two sliders, left and right, are slidably connected to the guide rod. The right slider is connected to the lead screw by a thread. The impression cylinder is rotatably connected between the lower parts of the sliders. A drive assembly is provided between the sliders and the impression cylinder. The cleaning assembly is provided on the cleaning box.
[0007] In addition, it is particularly preferred that the cleaning box is made of transparent material.
[0008] Furthermore, it is particularly preferred that the bottom of the cleaning box is sloped.
[0009] Furthermore, it is particularly preferred that the drive assembly includes a second motor and gears, with the second motor connected to the lower front part of the slider on the right, and gears connected to both the right side of the impression cylinder and the output shaft of the second motor, with the two gears meshing with each other.
[0010] Furthermore, it is particularly preferred that the cleaning assembly includes a water sprayer, a third motor, and a brush. The water sprayer is connected to both the front and rear of the cleaning box, and the third motor is connected to the lower right side of the cleaning box. The output shaft of the third motor passes through the cleaning box and is connected to the brush, which is rotatably connected to the cleaning box.
[0011] In addition, it is particularly preferred that a sewage pipe is included, with the lower part of the cleaning tank connected to the sewage pipe.
[0012] Beneficial effects: 1. This utility model uses a water sprayer to spray water to rinse the impression cylinder. As the impression cylinder rotates, a third motor drives the brush to rotate, thereby brushing the surface of the impression cylinder. This allows for automatic water spraying to rinse the impression cylinder while automatically brushing it, improving the cleaning efficiency and effect of the impression cylinder, preventing scratches and damage to the impression cylinder, extending the service life of the impression cylinder, and making it convenient to use.
[0013] 2. This utility model uses a first motor to drive a lead screw to rotate, which causes the right slider to move along the guide rod under the action of the thread. This, in turn, drives the left slider, the impression cylinder, the second motor, and the gear to move, so that the impression cylinder moves into the cleaning box. This eliminates the need to disassemble the impression cylinder for cleaning, reduces cleaning steps, simplifies operation, and saves cleaning time. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation
[0018] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. 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.
[0019] A cleaning device for the stamping cylinder of a tinplate printing machine, such as Figures 1-3 As shown, the system includes a support frame 1, a cleaning box 2, a first motor 3, a lead screw 4, a guide rod 5, a slider 6, an impression roller 7, a second motor 8, a gear 9, a water sprayer 10, a third motor 11, a brush 12, and a wastewater pipe 13. The cleaning box 2 is connected to the upper right side of the support frame 1. The cleaning box 2 is made of transparent material for easy observation of the cleaning process. The lower part of the cleaning box 2 is sloped to facilitate wastewater collection and discharge. The first motor 3 is connected to the upper right side of the cleaning box 2. The output shaft of the first motor 3 passes through the cleaning box 2 and is connected to the lead screw 4. The lead screw 4 is rotatably connected to the support frame 1. A guide rod 5 connects the upper parts of the support frame 1 and the cleaning box 2. The guide rod 5 is slidably connected to two sliders 6 on the left and right. The right slider 6 is connected to the lead screw 4 by a thread. The lower part of the slider 6 is rotatably connected to the impression cylinder 7. The lower front part of the right slider 6 is connected to the second motor 8. The right side of the impression cylinder 7 and the output shaft of the second motor 8 are both connected to gears 9, which mesh with each other. The front and rear parts of the cleaning box 2 are connected to water sprayers 10. The lower right side of the cleaning box 2 is connected to the third motor 11.

The lower part of the cleaning box 2 is connected to a sewage pipe 13 for easy drainage.
[0020] When cleaning the printing cylinder 7 of the tinplate printing machine is required, this device can be used. The support frame 1 is brought into contact with the ground, and then the first motor 3 is started. The first motor 3 drives the lead screw 4 to rotate, causing the right slider 6 to move along the guide rod 5 under the action of the screw thread. This, in turn, moves the left slider 6, the printing cylinder 7, the second motor 8, and the gear 9, allowing the printing cylinder 7 to move into the cleaning box 2. The cleaning box 2 is made of transparent material, making it easy to observe the cleaning process. Therefore, it is unnecessary to disassemble the printing cylinder 7 for cleaning, reducing cleaning steps, simplifying operation, and saving cleaning time. Next, the first motor 3 is turned off, and an external water source is connected through the water sprayer 10. The water sprayer 10 is then started to rinse the printing cylinder 7. Simultaneously, the second motor 8 and the third motor 11 are started, with the second motor 8 driving the gear 9 to rotate. The two gears 9 mesh with each other, causing the impression cylinder 7 to rotate. The third motor 11 drives the brush 12 to rotate, thereby brushing the surface of the impression cylinder 7. The cleaning water drips into the lower part of the cleaning tank 2 and flows into the sewage pipe 13 along the inclined surface of the lower part of the cleaning tank 2 for discharge. This allows for automatic water spraying to rinse the impression cylinder 7 while automatically brushing it, improving the cleaning efficiency and effect of the impression cylinder 7, preventing scratches and damage to the impression cylinder 7, and extending the service life of the impression cylinder 7. It is easy to use. After cleaning, the second motor 8, water sprayer 10 and third motor 11 are turned off. Then the first motor 3 is started to operate in reverse, causing the lead screw 4 to rotate in reverse. Under the action of the thread, the right slider 6 moves in reverse, which in turn drives the left slider 6, impression cylinder 7, second motor 8 and gear 9 to move in reverse and reset.
[0021] Those skilled in the art should understand that the above embodiments do not limit the present invention in any way, and all technical solutions obtained by means of equivalent substitution or equivalent transformation fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
