After the printing is completed, the printed pieces are taken down by manual operation and new printed pieces to be printed are placed on the workbench. Such repeated operations have low work efficiency.

[0005] Therefore, the present application provides a UV flatbed printer for solving the above technical problems. CONTENT OF THE UTILITY MODEL

[0006] In view of the deficiencies of the prior art, the purpose of the present application is to provide a UV flatbed printer, which has the advantages of intelligent feeding and discharging of printed pieces and printing of the printed pieces according to the intelligent scanning of the feeding printed pieces, and discharging of the printed pieces, thereby improving the work efficiency.

[0007] To achieve the above purpose, the present application provides the following technical scheme: a UV flatbed printer, comprising a rack, a computer, a PLC controller, a first driving assembly arranged on the rack, a second driving assembly arranged on the first driving assembly and perpendicular to the first driving assembly, and a print head arranged on the second driving assembly, further comprising a conveying assembly arranged on the rack and below the print head, and a camera arranged at any end of the print head along the extension direction of the second driving assembly, wherein the extension direction of the conveying assembly is consistent with the extension direction of the first driving assembly, and the conveying assembly is used for conveying the printed pieces.

[0008] The present application is further provided as follows: the camera is a line scan camera.

[0009] The utility model further sets up: the print head is UV print head.

[0010] The utility model further sets up: the transmission subassembly includes two transmission shafts that are parallel with each other and with the second drive component extension direction is parallel, set up on two transmission shafts same transmission belt, and set up on the rack and be used for driving any rotation axis's step motor, transmission belt extension direction with the first drive component extension direction is perpendicular.

[0011] In summary, the utility model has the advantages of:

[0012] Because of above design, when the printing piece is conveyed to the print head below through the transmission subassembly, the transmission subassembly stops moving, and the camera on the print head is driven along the transmission subassembly top to scan and identify the printing piece through the movement cooperation of the first drive component and the second drive component, then the print head can be driven to print the printing piece on the transmission subassembly quickly through the movement cooperation of the first drive component and the second drive component, so as to reach intelligent feeding and discharging printing piece, and according to the intelligent scanning feeding printing piece condition, identify and print the printing piece, then discharge the printing piece, which has the advantages of improving work efficiency.
