Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of digital inkjet printing testing, and in particular to a novel digital inkjet printing testing machine. Background Technology

[0002] Digital inkjet printing is a printing technology capable of achieving fine patterns and colors. While it can be applied to various substrates, including paper, textiles, and plastics, the surface characteristics (such as smoothness, roughness, and porosity) of different substrates vary, necessitating the development of different digital inks for each substrate. Since different substrates require different printheads, variations in the chemical composition and particle size of different digital inks can lead to varying degrees of wear or clogging of the printheads. Therefore, the developed digital inks require not only printing tests on the corresponding substrate surfaces but also compatibility tests on different printheads. Furthermore, the three-dimensional shape and size of the substrates vary significantly, requiring the testing machine to be universally applicable to substrates of various shapes and sizes. To address these challenges, we propose a novel digital inkjet printing testing machine. Utility Model Content

A drive mechanism 30 for driving the vacuum adsorption slide 12 to slide laterally along the guide rails 11 is fixed between the two guide rails 11. The worktable 10 has a storage area 101 for placing various printing substrates. For printing substrates of different shapes and sizes, the vacuum adsorption slide 12 can adsorb and fix them before transporting them to the inkjet printer 20 at the other end of the worktable 10 for printing testing.

A drive pulley 34 is installed at the output end of the drive motor 33, and the transmission belt is wound around the drive pulley 34, the left-end pulley 31, and the right-end pulley 32. (See attached drawing) Figure 3 As shown, the vacuum adsorption slide 12 is equipped with a clamp 121 for clamping the transmission belt. The drive motor 33 drives the transmission belt through the drive pulley 34, and the transmission belt then drives the vacuum adsorption slide 12 to move horizontally through the clamp 121.

[0021] Combined with appendix Figure 1 and attached Figure 2As shown, the motor mounting base 13 includes a first upright plate 131 and a second upright plate 132 arranged parallel to the first upright plate 131.

Multiple inkjet printers 20 are fixedly mounted at the right end of the worktable 10. A drive mechanism 30 for driving the vacuum adsorption slide 12 to slide laterally along the guide rails 11 is fixed between the two guide rails 11.
