[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of digital printing technology, and in particular relates to a material support platform and digital printing equipment. Background Technology

[0002] Existing printing platforms typically have a material support platform at the loading end to pre-place printing media for continuous production. However, these existing material support platforms are merely single-function platforms, only suitable for processing the same type of printing media, resulting in limited functionality and low compatibility with digital printing equipment. Utility Model Content

[0003] The material support platform provided by this utility model aims to solve the problem of low compatibility of digital printing equipment caused by the fact that the existing technology can only be used for production and processing of the same type of printing media.

[0004] This utility model is implemented as follows: a material support platform, applied to digital printing equipment, includes:

[0005] Base;

[0006] A support platform is provided on the base. The support platform is used to connect with the printing platform of the digital printing equipment to transport printing media to the printing platform. The printing media includes sheet-type printing media and roll-to-roll printing media.

[0007] A drive roller is disposed on the support platform and on one side near the printing platform. The drive roller can be used to support the sheet-type printing medium. There are two drive rollers, which are spaced apart along the moving direction of the printing medium, and a space is formed between the two drive rollers for accommodating roll-type printing media.

[0008] Furthermore, the support platform is provided with at least two positioning elements, which can move away from or towards each other along a direction perpendicular to the movement direction of the printing medium, and a channel is formed between each two adjacent positioning elements for the plate-type printing medium to pass through.

[0009] Furthermore, the support platform is provided with a groove perpendicular to the direction of movement of the printing medium, and at least two sliders are provided in the groove. The at least two positioning elements correspond one-to-one with the at least two sliders and are fixed.

[0010] Furthermore, there are at least two slides, which are spaced apart along the direction of movement of the printing medium, and each positioning element is connected and fixed to the slider in at least two slides.

[0011] Furthermore, the width of the support platform perpendicular to the direction of movement of the printing medium is greater than or equal to the width of the printing platform, and the slide extends perpendicular to both ends of the printing medium to the edge of the support platform.

[0012] Furthermore, each of the positioning components is provided with guide portions on opposite sides of its direction of movement.

[0013] Furthermore, the guide portion is a sloping structure or an outwardly protruding arched structure.

[0014] Furthermore, the material support platform also includes:

[0015] An extension plate is rotatably disposed on the side of the support platform away from the printing platform. The extension plate can be unfolded or folded on the support platform.

[0027] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model.

[0028] See Figure 1 This utility model provides a material support platform for digital printing equipment, including a base 1, a support platform 2, and a transmission roller 5. The support platform 2 is located on the base 1, specifically on the top of the base 1. The support platform 2 connects to the printing platform (not shown in the figure) of the digital printing equipment to transport printing media to the printing platform. That is, the material support platform is located at the feed end of the printing platform. The support platform 2 supports the printing media and transports it from the support platform to the printing platform. The printing media includes sheet-type printing media (not shown in the figure) and roll-type printing media 100. The transmission roller 5 is located on the support platform 2 and close to the printing platform. The transmission roller 5 supports sheet-type printing media, which enters the printing platform from the support platform 2. The transmission roller 5 can interact with the sheet-type printing media... The printing media comes into contact with each other, and the plate-type printing media and the support table 2 form rolling friction, which is beneficial to the movement of the printing media on the support table 2. There are two drive rollers 5, which are spaced apart along the direction of movement of the printing media. The space between the two drive rollers 5 can accommodate the roll-type printing media 100. That is, the roll-type printing media is placed directly between the two drive rollers. The roll-type printing media 100 is pulled out from the roll and wound into the equipment to form a closed loop. When the roll-type printing media 100 moves forward, it can drive the roll of the roll-type printing media 100 to unwind. The two drive rollers 5 can also form rolling friction with the roll-type printing media 100, reducing the friction with the printing media.

[0029] By setting a transmission roller 5 on the side of the support platform 2 near the printing medium, when printing on sheet-type printing media, the printing medium moves from the support platform 2 to the printing platform. Rolling friction is formed between the transmission roller 5 and the printing medium, which can reduce the friction between the two, prevent the support platform 2 from scratching the printing medium, and facilitate the transport of the printing medium. Two transmission rollers 5 are set, and roll-type printing media 100 can be placed between the two transmission rollers 5, thereby realizing the unwinding and printing production of roll-type printing media 100. The same equipment can realize the printing operation of at least two different types of printing media, improving the compatibility of the equipment.

[0030] It should be noted that the material support platform in this embodiment is compatible with different printing media, which means that it is a choice between sheet-type printing media and roll-type printing media 100, rather than printing two types of printing media at the same time.

[0031] The material support platform provided by this utility model can be used for printing operations on different printing media, thus improving the compatibility of the equipment.

[0032] See Figures 1-2 Furthermore, the support platform 2 is provided with at least two positioning elements 21. These two positioning elements 21 can move away from or towards each other along a direction perpendicular to the movement of the printing medium, forming a channel between each pair of adjacent positioning elements 21 for the passage of sheet-type printing medium. By providing at least two positioning elements 21, when the printing medium is placed on the support platform 2, the at least two positioning elements 21 can be placed on opposite sides of the printing medium and moved to the edge of the printing medium to clamp it, thereby positioning the printing medium. This allows the printing medium to be accurately delivered to the printing platform according to a preset position, eliminating the need for repositioning the printing medium by the printing platform or reducing the complexity of positioning the printing medium. The fact that the at least two positioning elements 21 can move away from or towards each other allows the channel size to be adjusted according to the width of the printing medium to accommodate the generation of different specifications of printing media, thereby further improving the compatibility of the equipment.

[0033] See Figures 1-2 Furthermore, the support platform 2 is provided with a groove 23 perpendicular to the direction of movement of the printing medium. At least two sliders 24 are provided in the groove 23, and at least two positioning members 21 correspond one-to-one with and are fixed to the at least two sliders 24. By setting the groove 23, space can be provided for the at least two positioning members 21 to move, and the sliders 24 facilitate the installation of the positioning members 21 in the groove 23.

[0034] See Figures 1-2Furthermore, there are at least two slide grooves 23, which are spaced apart along the direction of movement of the printing medium. Each positioning element is connected and fixed to the slider 24 in at least two slide grooves 23. By setting at least two slide grooves 23, the positioning element 21 can maintain balance when it moves, allowing for smoother movement during the process. It also prevents the positioning element from becoming skewed, thus avoiding obstruction of the placement of the printing medium.

[0035] Specifically, the width of the support platform 2 perpendicular to the direction of movement of the printing medium is greater than or equal to the width of the printing platform, and the slide groove 23 can extend to the edge of the support platform at both ends perpendicular to the printing medium. This increases the range of motion of the positioning component 21, thereby enabling it to adapt to printing of more different specifications of printing media.

[0036] In this embodiment, the width of the support platform 2 perpendicular to the direction of movement of the printing medium can be equal to the width of the printing platform, which can avoid the support platform 2 being too large and thus occupying too much space.

[0037] See Figure 2 Furthermore, each positioning element 21 is provided with guide portions on opposite sides of its moving direction, which facilitates the placement of printing media between two adjacent positioning elements 21.

[0038] Specifically, the guide section can be a sloping structure or an outwardly protruding arched structure, which can increase the entrance between two adjacent positioning parts 21, making it easier to place the printing media and improve production efficiency.

[0039] In this embodiment, two positioning elements 21 can be provided, and the two positioning elements 21 can move closer to or further away from each other, so as to adapt to different specifications of a single sheet-type printing medium for production. Alternatively, three positioning elements 21 can be provided, with the middle positioning element 21 shared with the two adjacent positioning elements 21, so as to adapt to the simultaneous printing of two sheet-type printing media. Similarly, four, five, etc., positioning elements can be provided, so as to adapt to the simultaneous printing of three, four, etc., sheet-type printing media. The number of positioning elements 21 can be set according to actual needs.

[0040] See Figure 1 and Figures 3-5Furthermore, the material support platform also includes an extension plate 3 and a support rod 4. The extension plate 3 is rotatably disposed on the side of the support platform away from the printing platform. The extension plate 3 can be unfolded or folded onto the support platform 2. The extension plate 3 is used to adjust the width of the support platform 2 along the direction of movement of the printing medium. The support rod 4 is disposed at the bottom of the extension plate 3 and connects the support platform 2 and the extension plate 3. The support rod 4 supports the extension plate 3 when it is unfolded onto the support platform 2 and locks the extension plate 3 when it is folded onto the support platform 2. Thus, the extension plate 3 can be used to adjust the width of the support platform 2 along the direction of movement of the printing medium. That is, when the size of the printing medium along its direction of movement is large, the width of the support platform 2 can be extended by unfolding the extension plate 3 relative to the support platform 2 to adapt to the printing work of the current printing medium; when the size of the printing medium along its direction of movement is small, the width of the support platform 2 can be shortened by folding the extension plate 3 relative to the support platform 2 to adapt to the printing work of the current printing medium. This allows the material support platform to adapt to the production and processing of printing media of different specifications, thereby improving the compatibility of digital printing equipment. The support rod 4 provides a support point for the unfolding or folding of the extension plate to maintain its current state.

[0041] Specifically, the support rod 4 is a gas spring, which can provide support, buffer, braking, height adjustment and angle adjustment, thereby enabling the extension plate 3 to be folded and unfolded, simplifying the structure and reducing processing costs.

[0042] This utility model embodiment also provides a digital printing device, including a printing platform and the aforementioned material support platform. The material support platform is located on at least one of the opposite sides of the printing platform along the direction of movement of the printing medium, that is, it can be located on the side of the printing platform for loading and / or the side of the printing platform for unloading, so as to support the printing medium when it enters or exits the printing platform according to actual production needs.

[0043] The digital printing equipment provided by this utility model can be used for printing operations on different printing media, thus improving the compatibility of the equipment.

[0044] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
