A movable frame 8 is mounted on the feeding table 1. A movable block 9 slides on the movable frame 8. A movable motor 10 is mounted on the movable frame 8. A movable screw 11 is mounted on the motor shaft of the movable motor 10. A movable sleeve 12, which cooperates with the movable screw 11, is mounted on the movable block 9. Movable plates 13 are located on the upper and lower sides of the movable sleeve 12. A moving spring 14 is provided between the upper moving plate 13 and the moving block 9. A driving mechanism is provided on the moving block 9. A cam 15 is rotatably provided at one end of the feeding table 1. A clamping ring 16 that cooperates with the cam 15 is provided at one end of the clamping rod 3. A clamping frame 17 is also provided on one side of the feeding table 1. A clamping motor 18 is provided on the clamping frame 17. The motor shaft of the clamping motor 18 is fixedly connected to the cam 15. A limit block 19 is provided on the moving sleeve 12. A limit groove 20 that cooperates with the limit block 19 is provided on the moving block 9. The driving mechanism includes a driving motor 21. A driving shaft 22 is provided on the motor shaft of the driving motor 21. A driving roller 23 is provided on the driving shaft 22.

[0030] In this embodiment, during use, the moving motor 10 is started, driving the moving screw 11 to rotate, which in turn drives the moving sleeve 12 and the moving block 9 to move upward. The moving block 9 drives the drive mechanism to move upward, feeding the paper into the printing press through the feeding box 2. The short shaft of the cam 15 abuts against the clamping ring 16, causing the clamping rod 3 to drive the clamping plate 4 to rotate downward, and clamping and fixing the paper through the lower pressure rod 5, the lower pressure spring 7, and the lower pressure plate 6. When printing is required, the moving motor 10 is started, driving the moving screw 11 to reverse, causing the moving sleeve 12 and the moving block 9 to move downward and compress the moving spring 14, thus starting the printing press. The drive motor 21 drives the drive shaft 22 and drive roller 23 to rotate. The paper is conveyed by the elastic force between the drive roller 23 and the paper. At the same time, the pressure motor 18 is started, which drives the cam 15 to rotate. When the long shaft end of the cam 15 abuts against the pressure ring 16, it drives the pressure plate 4 to rotate upward, so that the lower pressure rod 5 and the lower pressure plate 6 move upward. When the lower pressure plate 6 leaves the paper, the uppermost layer of paper is conveyed. Then, the short shaft of the cam 15 continues to abut against the pressure ring 16, so that the lower pressure plate 6 presses against the next layer of paper, which facilitates the separation of paper and realizes single-sheet paper feeding, while improving the stability of paper feeding.

[0031] Please see Figure 5 As an embodiment of the feeding mechanism of a digital printing machine for the feeding box 2: an adjusting plate 24 is provided on one side of the feeding box 2, an adjusting rod 25 is provided at one end of the adjusting plate 24, and an adjusting block 26 is provided at one end of the adjusting rod 25. The adjusting rod 25 and the adjusting block 26 are slidably disposed at the bottom of the feeding box 2. A support plate 27 is also provided between the adjusting plate 24 and the feeding box 2. The support plate 27 is slidably disposed at the top of the feeding box 2. A driving cylinder 28 is provided at the bottom of the feeding box 2. The output end of the driving cylinder 28 is fixedly connected to the adjusting plate 24.

[0032] More specifically, when feeding paper, the size of the feeding box 2 is adjusted according to the type of paper to be printed, and the drive cylinder 28 is activated. The drive cylinder 28 drives the adjustment plate 24 to move. The adjustment plate 24 moves at the bottom of the feeding box 2 through the adjustment rod 25 and the adjustment block 26. At the same time, the support plate 27 moves at the top of the feeding box 2 to support the paper, thereby facilitating the adjustment of the size of the feeding box 2 according to the type of paper.

[0033] In summary, during the use or operation of the overall equipment: When in use, the moving motor 10 is started, driving the moving screw 11 to rotate, which in turn drives the moving sleeve 12 and the moving block 9 to move upwards. The moving block 9 drives the drive mechanism to move upwards, feeding paper into the printing press through the feeding box 2. The short shaft of the cam 15 abuts against the clamping ring 16, causing the clamping rod 3 to drive the clamping plate 4 to rotate downwards. The paper is then clamped and fixed by the lower pressure rod 5, the lower pressure spring 7, and the lower pressure plate 6. When printing is required, the moving motor 10 is started, driving the moving screw 11 to reverse, causing the moving sleeve 12 and the moving block 9 to move downwards and compress the moving spring. Spring 14 starts the drive motor 21, which drives the drive shaft 22 and drive roller 23 to rotate. The paper is conveyed by the elastic force between the drive roller 23 and the paper. At the same time, the pressure motor 18 is started, which drives the cam 15 to rotate. When the long shaft end of the cam 15 abuts against the pressure ring 16, it drives the pressure plate 4 to rotate upward, causing the lower pressure rod 5 and the lower pressure plate 6 to move upward. When the lower pressure plate 6 leaves the paper, the uppermost layer of paper is conveyed. Subsequently, the short shaft of the cam 15 continues to abut against the pressure ring 16, so that the lower pressure plate 6 presses against the next layer of paper, which facilitates paper separation, realizes single-sheet paper feeding, and improves paper feeding stability.

[0034] When feeding paper, the size of the feeding box 2 is adjusted according to the type of paper to be printed. The drive cylinder 28 is activated, which drives the adjustment plate 24 to move. The adjustment plate 24 moves at the bottom of the feeding box 2 via the adjustment rod 25 and the adjustment block 26. At the same time, the support plate 27 moves at the top of the feeding box 2 to support the paper, thus facilitating the adjustment of the size of the feeding box 2 according to the type of paper.
