Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the digital printing and packaging product printer manufacturing industry, and in particular to a hollow board printing device that requires no treatment, has high adhesion, and requires no plate making. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid advancement of modern technology, hollow boards, with their advantages of being lightweight, pollution-free, waterproof, and shockproof, can be applied in various fields such as packaging, machinery, and construction. Therefore, in the packaging industry, printing hollow boards has become a production process with significant development potential. In previous printing processes, traditional ink pretreatment was extensive and cumbersome, requiring processes such as ultraviolet exposure, baking, and powder spraying before being used on the printing press. Moreover, this process was significantly more expensive in terms of both processing and environmental costs.

[0003] Currently, the most commonly used digital plate-making process involves designing the desired screen printing image using a computer. During plate-making, a laser inkjet printer prints the image onto a pre-treated screen with the photosensitive emulsion removed. The ink-received image on the screen acts as a film or cover film. Then, the screen is fully exposed to ultraviolet light. The ink-received areas cannot withstand the ultraviolet light and do not undergo a chemical reaction, resulting in differences in solubility. Subsequent processes are the same as traditional photosensitive plate-making: exposure, washing, and development to create the image and plate. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, the technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a printing device that reduces the pre-printing processing steps of hollow boards, lowers costs, and maximizes work efficiency.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following solution:

[0006] A hollow board printing device that requires no treatment, has high adhesion, and requires no plate making includes a device body, characterized in that: the device body includes a control board with a RIP software system installed and a printhead assembly with high adhesion printing; the printing medium used by the device body is hollow board, and the printing consumable is treatment-free ink.

[0007] Furthermore, the cross-section of the hollow plate in this utility model is a mesh-like hollow structure.

[0008] Furthermore, the type of treatment-free ink in this utility model is PP treatment-free ink.

[0009] Furthermore, the RIP software in this invention processes the printed document image and converts it into RIP data, which is then transmitted to the control board to drive the printhead assembly.

[0010] Furthermore, the printhead assembly in this utility model consists of one ink-attached printhead on each side, and several color ink printheads located between the ink-attached printheads on both sides.

[0011] Furthermore, in this invention, the ink-attached nozzle prints base ink on the surface of the hollow plate, and the colored ink nozzle prints a pattern on the base ink.

[0012] Furthermore, the ink nozzles and color ink nozzles in this invention are arranged in a straight line.

[0013] Furthermore, the printing direction of the device body in this invention is to move left and right along the straight line arrangement direction of the ink nozzle assembly and the color ink nozzle.

[0014] In summary, the advantages of this utility model over the prior art are:

[0015] The printing medium of this invention is a hollow board material with strong adhesion, which has a huge advantage for small-batch production. It reduces the number of operators and lowers labor costs. Furthermore, the printing equipment uses pre-processed ink, which greatly reduces the preparation work before printing. The equipment itself uses RIP software to process the image of the print file and convert it into RIP data that the printing equipment can recognize, realizing plate-free printing. The equipment itself achieves high adhesion through a fixed printhead assembly. First, the pre-processed ink is used as a base, and then colored ink is printed on the pre-processed ink.

[0017] Figure 2 This is a plan view of the present invention from top to bottom. Detailed Implementation

[0018] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments:

[0019] like Figures 1 to 2 The present invention preferably provides a hollow board printing device that is treatment-free, has high adhesion, and requires no plate making, comprising a device body 1. The device body 1 includes a control board 2 with RIP software installed and a printhead assembly 3 with high adhesion printing. The printing medium 4 used by the device body 1 is hollow board, and the printing consumable 5 is treatment-free ink.

[0020] During operation, pre-treatment ink is first added to the device body. Then, an external computer is used to interact with the device body's control board to control the RIP software to process the image files required for printing. When the device body receives the printing work instruction, the pre-treatment ink flows through the ink path to the printhead assembly. The printer automatically recognizes the RIP data and performs inkjet printing. During printing, the printhead assembly first covers the surface of the media with a layer of adhering ink before the colored ink is printed, so as to achieve a high-adhesion printed product.

[0021] The hollow board described in this invention has a mesh-like perforated structure in its cross-section. The hollow board has strong adhesion, offering significant advantages for small-batch production, reducing the number of operators, lowering labor costs, and the printing equipment uses pre-treatment ink, greatly reducing pre-printing preparation work.

[0022] The treatment-free ink described in this invention is a PP treatment-free ink. PP treatment-free ink is an existing type of treatment-free ink.

[0023] The RIP software described in this invention processes the printed image and converts it into RIP data, which is then transmitted to the control board 2 to drive the printhead assembly 3. RIP (Raster Image Processor) is a preprocessing software for digital image output. When printing an image on material, the image needs to be processed into dot matrix data that can be recognized by both the computer and the printing machine; therefore, human-computer interaction with an external computer is required. RIP is a specialized processing software that converts pixels in the computer into ink dot information required for printing, which can be recognized by the printing press's circuit board.

[0024] The printhead assembly 3 of this invention comprises one ink-attaching printhead 31 on each side, and several color ink printheads 32 positioned between the ink-attaching printheads 31 on both sides. Both the ink-attaching printheads and the color ink printheads can be coated with pre-treatment ink. Since there is one ink-attaching printhead on each side, when coating the hollow board from both sides, the ink-attaching printheads can first spray an ink-attaching layer as a base layer, and then the color ink can be sprayed on top. The number of color ink printheads is unlimited in this technical solution.

[0025] The attached ink nozzle 31 of this invention prints base ink on the surface of the hollow plate, and the colored ink nozzle 32 prints patterns on the base ink.

[0026] The ink nozzles 31 and 32 in this invention are arranged in a straight line to accommodate the left and right coating characteristics of hollow boards.

[0027] The printing direction of the device body 1 described in this utility model is to move left and right along the straight line arrangement direction of the ink nozzle group 3 and the color ink nozzle 32. The coating method for hollow boards is a left-right movement type.

[0028] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles and main features of this utility model, as well as its advantages. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of this utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claimed utility model.
