[0028] In one embodiment, a metal wire mesh is embedded in the bottom surface of the heating shell 19, and the fan 20 consists of a drive motor and an impeller mounted on its output end. This structure is beneficial for the uniform airflow of the heating shell 19.

[0029] Working principle: First, by moving the printing roller 17 up and down, the slider 25 on the slide block 14 slides inside the slide rail 13. When the printing roller 17 is adjusted to a suitable height, the swivel knob 24, which is threaded to the slider 25, is rotated so that the knob end of the swivel knob 24 abuts against the surface of the slide rail 13, thereby adjusting and locking the height of the printing roller 17. During printing, the liquid pump 7 on the surface of the ink supply tube 6 is activated, causing the ink in the ink tank 5 to be pumped into the inkjet tube 11. Then, several inkjet nozzles 16 on the inkjet tube 11 spray the ink onto the surface of the printing roller 17. At this time, the brush 12 on the support plate 10 evenly coats the surface of the printing roller 17 with the ink sprayed on it. The printing roller 17 is driven to rotate by the motor 15.
