Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to steel drum silk screen printing automation equipment field especially, a kind of automatic barrel surface silk screen printing equipment for steel drum top. BACKGROUND

[0002] As an important branch of block printing, the principle of silk screen printing technology is to transfer ink to the surface of the printing material through the transparent hole of the screen printing plate. It has the characteristics of simple equipment, strong adaptability and low cost, and is especially suitable for printing on the plane and curved surface of metal containers such as steel drums. Traditional steel drum silk screen printing mainly relies on manual operation: workers need to manually align the silk screen printing plate with the top or body of the steel drum, and complete the ink transfer by applying pressure with a squeegee. However, this purely manual method has significant drawbacks such as low efficiency, poor accuracy, and high labor intensity. Manual operation not only consumes time and effort, but is also greatly affected by the experience and state of the worker, and the printing position is prone to deviation, resulting in a high scrap rate, especially in mass production, the efficiency bottleneck is particularly prominent.

[0003] To improve production efficiency, some enterprises have tried to introduce semi-automatic equipment, such as conveying steel drums to fixed workstations through a conveyor belt, and completing printing with a simple clamping mechanism. However, the existing equipment still has many shortcomings: first, steel drums are prone to offset during transportation due to mechanical vibration or inertia, and additional manual correction is required after entering the printing workstation. There is a lack of coordinated control and linkage logic between the pre-positioning and printing workstations, and the overall process still relies on manual control to connect, which seriously slows down the production rhythm; second, as the steel drum manufacturing industry demands higher efficiency and precision, traditional equipment still relies on manual visual adjustment in key positioning steps, such as the alignment of large and small holes on the top of the steel drum, and lacks automatic identification and feedback mechanisms, making it difficult to meet the high-end demand for printing accuracy.
