One end of the movement direction of the conveyor 1 is an inlet end 11, and the other end is an outlet end 12. From the inlet end 11, the visual assembly 3, the jet printer 5 and the curing device 6 are sequentially arranged.

[0030] As shown, Figure 1 , Figure 2 The visual assembly 3 includes a mounting frame 31, a second lifting module 32 and a 3D vision instrument 33. The mounting frame 31 is a gantry structure, the lower end of which is connected with the rack 4, and the upper end of the mounting frame 31 is provided with the second lifting module 32. The power output end of the second lifting module 32 is provided with the 3D vision instrument 33 (purchased part). The mounting frame 31 in the gantry structure makes the 3D vision instrument 33 above the conveyor 1, and provides the 3D vision instrument 33 with the freedom in the Z direction through the second lifting module 32.

[0031] As shown, Figure 1 , Figure 3 The curing device 6 includes a curing lamp 61, a fixing frame 62 and a first lifting module 63. The jet printer 5 is provided with a connecting bracket 51 parallel to the X direction. The fixed end of the first lifting module 63 is mounted on the connecting bracket 51, and the power output end of the first lifting module 63 is connected with the fixing frame 62. The curing lamp 61 is mounted on the bottom of the fixing frame 62, and extends in the X direction, which is perpendicular to the Y direction in the same top projection plane. The connecting bracket 51 makes the curing lamp 61 above the conveyor 1, and provides the curing lamp 61 with the freedom in the Z direction through the first lifting module 63.

[0032] In the embodiment, the curing lamp 61 includes a final curing lamp 611 and a pre-curing lamp 612. The pre-curing lamp 612 is arranged near the inlet end 11 on the fixing frame 62, and the final curing lamp 611 is arranged near the outlet end 12 on the fixing frame 62. The pre-curing lamp 612 is provided with one, and the final curing lamp 611 is provided with three.

[0033] The fixing frame 62 comprises a bottom frame 621, a vertical plate 622 and a horizontal plate 623. The bottom frame 621 is rectangular, with the long side extending in the Y direction and the short side extending in the X direction. A pre-curing lamp 612 is arranged at one end of the bottom frame 621 in the Y direction, and a final-curing lamp 611 is arranged at the other end of the bottom frame 621 in the Y direction, with the pre-curing lamp 612 and the final-curing lamp 611 being arranged at intervals in the Y direction of the bottom frame 621.

[0036] In use, the product 2 enters the conveyor 1 from the feeding end 11 and moves in the Y direction under the drive of the conveyor 1. When it enters under the vision assembly 3 (which can be sensed by a sensor), the product 2 is blocked from moving by the blocking mechanism arranged on the conveyor 1 (in the workpiece section of the vision assembly 3). The second lifting module 32 is started to lower the 3D vision instrument 33 to scan the product and form a contour image data, which is transmitted to the control system. The blocking mechanism is released to allow the product 2 to continue moving along the conveyor 1, and the second lifting module 32 is started to raise the 3D vision instrument 33.

When the product 2 moves under the inkjet printer 5, the blocking mechanism arranged on the conveyor 1 (in the workpiece section of the inkjet printer 5) is started to block the product 2 from moving. The head assembly on the inkjet printer 5 is started to execute the corresponding instructions to print on the product 2.

[0038] After printing is completed, the inkjet printer 5 sends a signal to the control system, which controls the blocking mechanism to release the product 2, allowing the product 2 to continue moving on the conveyor 1. When it enters under the curing device 6, the blocking mechanism arranged on the conveyor 1 (in the workpiece section of the curing device 6) is started to block the product 2 from moving. The first lifting module 63 is started to lower the curing lamp 61 to pre-cure the UV ink on the surface of the product 2 using UV light and to final-cure the UV ink on the surface of the product 2 using UV light, finally forming a UV insulating coating.

[0039] After curing is completed (which can be set by time period), the first lifting module 63 is started to raise the curing lamp 61, and the blocking mechanism is released, allowing the product 2 to move on the conveyor 1 to the discharge end 12 and be discharged. The coating printing of one product is completed.

[0040] The first lifting module and the second lifting module are both purchased components.
