[0026] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this utility model, not all of them. Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of this utility model provided in the accompanying drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed utility model, but merely to represent selected embodiments of this utility model. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this utility model without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0027] Please refer to Figures 1 to 4 A closed-loop pneumatic pressure adjustment mechanism for a flexographic printing machine doctor blade, comprising:

[0028] The doctor blade mechanism 1 has a blade cavity 101 for storing and transferring ink;

[0029] The support mechanism 2 includes a support base 21 and a slider device 22 slidably connected to the support base 21. The slider device 22 includes a connecting part 221 for blocking the blade cavity 101.

[0030] The pressure adjustment mechanism 3 is used to drive the slider device 22 to slide on the support base 21. The pressure adjustment mechanism 3 includes an adjustment member 32, which is used to control the distance of the connecting part 221 from the blade cavity 101 or from the blade cavity 101.

[0031] In this technical solution, the slider device 22 of the support mechanism 2 is slidably connected to the support base 21. The connecting part 221 of the slider device 22 forms the wall of the blade cavity 101, which is used to seal the blade cavity 101, so that the blade cavity 101 is in a sealed space that can store ink. The scraper part of the scraper mechanism 1 is used to transfer ink. The slider device 22 is connected to a pressure adjustment mechanism 3. The pressure adjustment mechanism 3 can drive the slider device 22 to move along the length of the support base 21. The connecting part 221 used to seal the blade cavity 101 can also move accordingly. By changing the adjusting member 32 of the pressure adjustment mechanism 3, the distance of the connecting part 221 from or away from the blade cavity 101 can be controlled. The adjusting member 32 can achieve precise adjustment, thereby adjusting the pressure in the blade cavity 101. This solves the defects of unstable air pressure and inaccurate control in the prior art. Users can adjust the air pressure in the blade cavity 101 as needed, giving users a good product experience and avoiding the need for manual control of the air pressure in the blade cavity 101, which is convenient for operation.

[0032] The pressure adjustment mechanism 3 further includes a drive component 31, and an adjusting component 32 connected to the drive component 31. The adjusting component 32 is used to adjust the length of the telescopic end 311 of the drive component 31. In this embodiment, the drive component 31 is a stroke-adjustable cylinder, and the telescopic end 311 is the piston rod of the adjustable cylinder. It is a cylinder that can flexibly adjust the piston stroke according to actual needs. The adjusting component 32 is an adjustable nut, which is installed on the piston rod of the stroke-adjustable cylinder. By rotating the adjustable nut, its position on the piston rod is changed, thereby adjusting the length of the piston rod. The assembly relationship between the slider device 22 and the pressure adjustment mechanism 3 is determined by... Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the slider device 22 includes a slider 222, which is fixedly connected to the telescopic end 311. The change in the length of the telescopic end 311 drives the slider 222 to move on the support base 21, changing the moving position of the slider device 22 on the support base 21. This, in turn, changes the distance of the connecting part 221 of the slider device 22 from the blade cavity 101 or away from the blade cavity 101, causing the internal pressure of the blade cavity 101 to change. At this time, the device is in working condition.

[0033] Furthermore, by Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the support base 21 has a sliding track 211 for accommodating the reciprocating movement of the slider 222, and the slider 222 is fixedly connected to the pressure adjustment mechanism 3. In this embodiment, the inner cavity of the support base 21 is open, and slide rail plates are fixedly installed on its two outer edges to form the sliding track 211. The slider 222 is matched and installed in the inner cavity of the support base 21. The slider 222 is fixedly connected to the telescopic end 311 of the drive member 31 of the pressure adjustment mechanism 3, and the pressure adjustment mechanism 3 can stably drive the slider 222 to move back and forth on the sliding track 211.

[0034] As a preferred implementation method, by Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the slider 222 is connected to the connecting part 221, which extends from the sliding track 211 and is flexibly connected to the scraper mechanism 1.

[0035] A closed-type doctor blade for a flexographic printing machine, wherein a specific embodiment of the doctor blade mechanism 1 is as follows: Figure 1 As shown, the scraper mechanism 1 includes an anilox roller 11 and at least a pair of opposing blades 12. The two blades 12 are respectively connected to both ends of the anilox roller 11 to form the blade cavity 101. In this embodiment, the peripheral wall of the blade cavity 101 is formed by two blades 12. The two blades 12 are tightly fitted to the anilox roller 11. Ink is stored in the middle of the blade cavity 101. When the anilox roller 11 rotates, one blade 12 is responsible for scraping the ink, and the other blade 12 is responsible for sealing.

[0036] Furthermore, by Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the connecting part 221 includes a fixing block 2212 with at least two flying wings 2211 and at least two pressure plates 2213 covering the flying wings 2211. The two blades 12 are located between the flying wings 2211 and the pressure plates 2213. The fixing block 2212 covers the blade cavity 101. The flying wings 2211 hold the blades 12 on the fixing block 2212. The fixing block 2212 covers the blade cavity 101, forming a closed blade cavity 101, which makes it difficult for ink to leak.

[0037] To facilitate replacement of blade 12, by Figures 1 to 4As shown, the slider device 22 further includes a rotating shaft 223, and the connecting part 221 is rotatably connected to the slider 222 through the rotating shaft 223. In this embodiment, the slider 222 is provided with a rotating hole 2230. One end of the rotating shaft 223 is inserted into the rotating hole 2230, and the other end of the rotating shaft 223 is fixedly connected to the connecting part 221. The rotating shaft 223 rotates around the rotating hole 2230, driving the connecting part 221 to rotate, so that the blade 12 fixed to the fixing block 2212 of the connecting part 221 can rotate and move out of the position where the anilox roller 11 and the blade 12 are tightly connected. At this time, the equipment is in a fallen state, and the blade 12 is moved out of the support mechanism 2, which is convenient for the user to replace the blade 12. The end of the fixing block 2212 away from the flying wing 2211 is a square structure, that is, the part of the fixing block 2212 connected to the rotating shaft 223 is a square structure. When rotating, the entire fixing block 2212 drives the blade 12 to rotate and fall out of the support base 21. The structure is stable, and the blade 12 is not easy to fall to other parts of the equipment during the rotation process.

[0038] As a preferred implementation method, by Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the slider 222 has at least two pin holes 222a, which are located at the ends of the connecting part 221 away from the blade cavity 101. In this embodiment, the end of the connecting part 221 away from the blade cavity 101 is a square structure, with a rotating shaft 223 and pin holes 222a installed at its two ends respectively. The rotating shaft 223 is installed in the rotating hole 2230 of the slider 222 and rotates around it. When the blade 12 needs to be replaced, the rotating shaft 223 rotates, the connecting part 221 is laid down, and the pin 4 is inserted into the pin hole 222a. The entire fixing block 2212 can be fixed at two points, which is convenient for replacing the blade 12. When the pin 4 is retracted, the fixing block 2212 can drive the blade 12 to rotate back and fit tightly against the anilox roller 11. The structure is stable and easy to operate.

[0039] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Various modifications and variations can be made to this utility model by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
