AI Technical Summary
The printing module of existing UV printers wears down due to friction with the slide rail during movement, affecting print clarity. Furthermore, the slide rail becomes uneven after prolonged use, causing the printing module to move unsteadily.
The lubrication system employs a gear and rack mechanism that meshes to rotate a cam, causing a push rod to compress a spring and deliver lubricating oil between the printing module and the slide rail, thus achieving automatic lubrication and preventing wear.
This effectively prevents wear on the slide rails, maintains the smooth movement of the printing module, and improves print clarity and the lifespan of the equipment.

Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of UV printers, and more particularly to a high-speed flatbed UV network printer with a lubrication structure. Background Technology
[0002] A flatbed UV printer is an advanced printing device that uses ultraviolet light curing technology to print ink directly onto the surface of various materials. The ink is instantly cured by irradiation with a UV lamp, forming a high-quality image. Compared with traditional thermal transfer or inkjet printing technologies, the advantage of a UV printer is that it can print on a variety of different materials, such as hard and flexible materials like wood, glass, metal, plastic, and leather, without the need for additional transfer paper or other media. It is widely used in advertising, packaging, decoration, handicrafts, and other fields.
[0003] Another significant feature of UV printers is their environmental friendliness. The UV inks used do not contain organic solvents, and there are no harmful gas emissions during the printing process, meeting environmental protection requirements. In addition, UV-printed images have excellent properties such as scratch resistance, fading resistance, and UV resistance, and can maintain the color vibrancy and clarity of images for a long time. The equipment is simple to operate and highly efficient, making it suitable for mass production and customized printing needs. With the continuous development of technology, the application prospects of flatbed UV printers are becoming increasingly broad, making them one of the important production tools in modern manufacturing.
[0004] Currently, UV printers use magnetic levitation technology to make the printing module move linearly along the x-axis, resulting in faster printing speeds and higher printing efficiency. However, this driving method causes the printing module to rub against the two guide rails used for limiting movement during movement. Over time, this wear and tear can lead to unevenness in the guide rails, making the printing module unstable during movement and severely affecting print clarity. To address this issue, a high-speed flatbed UV network printer with a lubrication structure is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0035] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 The anti-accidental touch component includes a collar 15, which is fixedly connected to the front of platform 1 at its rear. Locking blocks 16 are fixedly connected to both sides of the collar 15. A rotating ring 17 is fixedly connected to the top of the collar 15. A rotating shaft 18 is rotatably connected inside the rotating ring 17. Rotating rings 19 are fixedly connected to both sides of the rotating shaft 18. A protective cover 20 is fixedly connected between the bottoms of the two rotating rings 19. A spring 21 is fixedly connected to the right side of the rotating shaft 18. A housing 22 is fixedly connected to the outside of the spring 21. The collar 15 is used to install the protective cover 20 on the control panel of platform 1.

The rotating shaft 18 is used to drive the rotating ring 19 to rotate, which is used to deflect and unfold the protective cover 20. The spring 21 is used to drive the rotating shaft 18 to rotate and unfold. The housing 22 is used to connect and protect the spring 21.

The outside of the locking block 16 and the protective cover 20 are engaged to keep the protective cover 20 stable.
[0036] Working Principle: When using this device, according to printing requirements, the printing parameters are changed via the control screen. First, the protective cover 20 is lifted, disengaging it from the locking block 16. Releasing the protective cover 20 causes the spring 21 to immediately rotate the shaft 18, causing the rotating ring 19 to rotate and simultaneously deflecting the protective cover 20, thus unfolding it. Then, the parameters of the printing module 3 can be set via the control screen, adjusting the printing speed. After setting, the protective cover 20 is closed, locking the locking block 16 on both sides of the cover. Simultaneously, closing the cover causes the rotating ring 19 to rotate the shaft 18 in the opposite direction, recharging the spring 21 for the next unfolding. At this point, the protective cover 20 completely covers the control screen to prevent accidental activation. The workpiece is then placed on the platform 1, and printing can begin. The printing process is controlled by the limiting mechanism of the slide rail 2. With the support of magnetic levitation, block 3 begins to move back and forth until printing is complete. After prolonged use, the lubrication between slide rail 2 and printing module 3 fails, and the friction increases. At this time, it is necessary to replenish the lubricating oil in time. By manually opening the manual valve 13, spring 8 will instantly push piston 9 to drive push rod 10 to reset. Then, control the movement of printing module 3. Through the action of rack 4, gear 5 drives cam 6 to rotate. Cam 6 will push push rod 10 to compress piston 9 and spring 8. Through the back and forth left and right movement of piston 9 and the two one-way valves 12, the lubricating oil in oil tank 14 is transported along pipe 11 to the friction point between printing module 3 and slide rail 2 to achieve lubrication. When it is not necessary to add oil, simply close manual valve 13 and push piston 9 to the leftmost position. Oil will not be pumped, and it can be used normally to continue printing.
