Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of inkjet printer technology, specifically a UV inkjet printer. Background Technology
[0002] A coding machine is a device used to print markings, batch numbers, dates, barcodes, and other information on products or packaging. It is widely used in various industries such as food and beverage, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, electronics, and automotive parts to meet the needs of product tracking, traceability, anti-counterfeiting, and brand promotion. UV coding machines are cutting-edge printing devices that utilize ultraviolet (UV) curing technology to print on various surfaces. Unlike traditional inkjet printers that use solvent-based or water-based inks, UV inkjet printers use inks that cure or dry instantly upon exposure to ultraviolet light. This instant drying process eliminates the need for additional drying time and allows for immediate processing of printed materials, significantly improving productivity.
[0003] For example, a UV inkjet printer, disclosed in CN219903831 U, includes a base frame with a horizontally slidable mounting base. A lifting seat is vertically slidable on the mounting base, and a print head is mounted on the first end of the lifting seat. A drive cylinder is fixedly connected to the mounting base, and the extended end of the drive cylinder is fixedly connected to a connecting part on the lifting seat. The extended end of the drive cylinder pushes the lifting seat vertically to make the height of the print head adjustable. This utility model provides an inkjet printing robot that utilizes a base frame, a mounting base, and a lifting seat. The base frame is erected in a fixed position, while the mounting base is equipped with a drive cylinder. The extended end of the drive cylinder can slide vertically to push against the connecting part, causing the lifting seat to move vertically relative to the fixed position. This achieves height adjustment of the print head on the lifting seat, avoiding the inconvenience of manually adjusting the print head height.
[0004] The current UV inkjet printer does not have a cleaning mechanism. If there is dust on the outer wall of the part to be printed, it will seriously affect the printing quality. In order to solve the above problem, a new UV inkjet printer is proposed. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to solve the above problems by providing a UV inkjet printer, comprising:
[0006] A fixed base has a slide rail fixedly installed on one side of its upper surface. An electric slider is slidably connected to the outer wall of the slide rail. A mounting seat is fixedly installed on one side of the electric slider. A coding head is fixedly installed on one side of the mounting seat. A connecting rod is fixedly installed on one side of the coding head. A cleaning mechanism is fixedly installed on one side of the connecting rod. A fan is fixedly installed at the bottom of the cleaning mechanism. A fixed seat is fixedly installed in the middle of the cleaning mechanism. A high-voltage electrode is fixedly installed on one side of the fixed seat.
[0007] Through the above technical solution, during the coding process, an electric slider drives the mounting base to move up and down along a slide rail, thereby moving the coding head to the required height. Simultaneously, before coding, the workpiece needs to pass through a cleaning mechanism. A fan within the cleaning mechanism blows air outwards. When the air passes over a high-voltage motor, the gas ionizes, forming plasma, which is then blown onto the workpiece. The active components in the plasma, including free radicals, ions, and ultraviolet light, undergo physical and chemical reactions with the surface of the workpiece. These reactions remove surface contaminants such as grease, organic matter, and oxides, improving surface wettability and adhesion, thereby enhancing coding quality.
[0008] In a preferred embodiment, a high-voltage power supply is fixedly installed on the other side of the upper surface of the fixed base, and the high-voltage power supply is electrically connected to the high-voltage electrode.
[0009] In a preferred embodiment, ventilation openings are provided on both the left and right sides of the fixing base.
[0010] With the above technical solution, the wind generated by the fan can pass through the ventilation opening and the fixed base.
[0011] In a preferred embodiment, a plurality of casters are fixedly mounted on the bottom of the fixed base.
[0012] The above technical solution facilitates the movement of the equipment by installing casters.
[0013] In a preferred embodiment, the four corners of the bottom of the fixed base are threaded with support legs.
[0014] With the above technical solution, after the inkjet printer moves to the required position, the support leg is rotated to make contact with the ground, thereby improving the stability of the inkjet printer.
[0015] In a preferred embodiment, the electric slider, the inkjet printer head, and the high-voltage power supply are all controlled by a PLC.
[0016] In summary, due to the adoption of the above technical solutions, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: this utility model proposes a UV inkjet printer.
[0017] During the coding process, an electric slider moves the mounting base up and down along a slide rail, thus moving the coding head to the required height. Before coding, the workpiece must pass through a cleaning mechanism. A fan within the cleaning mechanism blows air outwards. When the air passes over a high-voltage motor, the gas ionizes, forming plasma, which is then blown onto the workpiece. The active components in the plasma, including free radicals, ions, and ultraviolet light, undergo physical and chemical reactions with the surface of the workpiece. These reactions remove surface contaminants such as grease, organic matter, and oxides, improving surface wettability and adhesion, thereby enhancing coding quality. Attached Figure Description

[0023] The following will combine Figure 1-3 A UV inkjet printer according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail.
[0024] Example:
[0025] A UV inkjet printer, comprising:
[0026] The fixed base 1 has a slide rail 2 fixedly installed on one side of its upper surface. Multiple casters 13 are fixedly installed on the bottom of the fixed base 1. The casters 13 facilitate the movement of the equipment. Support legs 14 are threadedly connected to the four corners of the bottom of the fixed base 1. When the inkjet printer moves to the required position, the support legs 14 are rotated to make them contact the ground, thereby improving the stability of the inkjet printer.
[0027] An electric slider 3 is slidably connected to the outer wall of the slide rail 2. A mounting base 4 is fixedly installed on one side of the electric slider 3, and a coding head 5 is fixedly installed on one side of the mounting base 4. During the coding process, the electric slider 3 drives the mounting base 4 to move up and down along the slide rail 2, thereby moving the coding head 5 to the required height.
[0028] A connecting rod 10 is fixedly installed on one side of the inkjet printer head 5, and a cleaning mechanism 6 is fixedly installed on one side of the connecting rod 10. A fan 7 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the cleaning mechanism 6, and a fixed seat 8 is fixedly installed in the middle of the cleaning mechanism 6. Ventilation openings 11 are provided on both the left and right sides of the fixed seat 8. The air force generated by the fan 7 can pass through the ventilation openings 11 and pass through the fixed seat 8. A high-voltage electrode 9 is fixedly installed on one side of the fixed seat 8, and a high-voltage power supply 12 is fixedly installed on the other side of the upper surface of the fixed base 1. The electric slider 3, the inkjet printer head 5, and the high-voltage power supply 12 are all controlled by a PLC. The high-voltage power supply 12 is electrically connected to the high-voltage electrode 9. Before inkjet printing, the workpiece to be printed needs to pass through the cleaning mechanism 6. The fan 7 inside the cleaning mechanism 6 blows air outward. When the air force passes through the high-voltage motor 9, the gas is ionized, forming plasma and blowing it toward the workpiece to be printed. The active components in the plasma, including free radicals, ions, and ultraviolet rays, undergo physical and chemical reactions with the surface of the workpiece to be printed. These reactions can remove surface contaminants such as grease, organic matter, and oxides, improve surface wettability and adhesion, thereby improving coding quality.
[0029] Working principle:
[0030] During the coding process, the electric slider 3 drives the mounting base 4 to move up and down along the slide rail 2, thereby moving the coding head 5 to the required height. Simultaneously, before coding, the workpiece needs to pass through the cleaning mechanism 6. The fan 7 within the cleaning mechanism 6 blows air outwards. When the air passes the high-voltage motor 9, the gas ionizes, forming plasma, which is then blown onto the workpiece. The active components in the plasma, including free radicals, ions, and ultraviolet light, undergo physical and chemical reactions with the surface of the workpiece. These reactions remove surface contaminants such as grease, organic matter, and oxides, improving surface wettability and adhesion, thereby enhancing coding quality.
