[0026] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features and advantages of this utility model more apparent and understandable, the specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0027] Example 1
[0028] Reference Figure 1-4This is the first embodiment of the present invention, which provides a variable pitch printing head for a multi-head pad printing machine, including a fixed shaft 1 and a plurality of rotation constraint grooves 2 opened on the fixed shaft 1. A fixed connecting post 10 is provided on one side of the fixed shaft 1, a fixed connecting block 9 is provided on one side of the fixed shaft 1, and a fixed limiting block 11 is provided on one side of the fixed connecting post 10. The fixed shaft 10 includes a rotation connecting block 3 located inside each rotation constraint groove 2, a rotation sleeve 4 is provided on one side of each rotation connecting block 3, a rotation torsion spring 7 is provided inside each rotation sleeve 4, one end of each rotation torsion spring 7 is connected to one side of the rotation constraint groove 2, and one end of each rotation torsion spring 7 is connected to the rotation connecting block 3.
[0029] Each rotating sleeve 4 is provided with two insertion constraint blocks 6, and a fixed connection groove 5 is opened on one side of each rotating sleeve 4. Each rotating fixed ring 13 is provided with two insertion constraint grooves 16. Each insertion constraint block 6 is inserted into the inner side of the corresponding insertion constraint groove 16 on one side. Multiple insertion fixing grooves 21 are opened on one side of the fixed shaft 1, and each movable constraint block 14 is inserted into the inner side of the corresponding insertion fixing groove 21.
[0030] Example 2
[0031] Reference Figure 3-6 This is the second embodiment of the present invention. The difference between this embodiment and the first embodiment is that it includes multiple rotating fixing rings 13 installed on the rotating constraint groove 2. Each rotating fixing ring 13 has a movable constraint block 14 on one side and a fixing rubber head 20 on one side. A fixing constraint groove 12 is opened on the fixing limit block 11. A pressing fixing plate 17 is provided inside the fixing constraint groove 12. A pressing constraint groove 8 is opened on the fixing shaft 1. A fixing connection groove 5 is opened on each rotating sleeve 4 and a pressing fixing groove 15 is opened on each rotating fixing ring 13.
[0032] The pressing and fixing plate 17 is inserted into the pressing constraint groove 8 and the inner side of multiple pressing and fixing grooves 15. Multiple pressing constraint blocks 18 are provided on one side of the pressing and fixing plate 17. Each pressing constraint block 18 abuts against the corresponding rotating fixing ring 13. Two rotating studs 19 are provided on one side of the pressing and fixing plate 17. One end of each rotating stud 19 passes through the pressing and fixing plate 17 and is inserted into the inner side of the fixing limit block 11 and the fixing connecting block 9 respectively.
[0033] When installing the variable-pitch head of the multi-head pad printing machine, first, the rotating fixed ring 13 is sleeved on the fixed shaft 1. The rotating fixed ring 13 can rotate on the fixed shaft 1. The movable constraint block 14 on one side of the rotating fixed ring 13 is initially positioned with the fixed connection groove 5 on the rotating sleeve 4. The movable constraint block 14 is inserted into the inside of the fixed connection groove 5. At the same time, the insertion constraint block 6 on the rotating sleeve 4 is inserted into the inside of the insertion constraint groove 16 on the rotating fixed ring 13.
[0034] At this point, the initial connection between the rotating fixed ring 13 and the rotating sleeve 4 is completed, ensuring that their relative positions are stable. Since the rotating fixed ring 13 is sleeved on the fixed shaft 1, and the rotating fixed ring 13 and the rotating sleeve 4 are connected by the insertion constraint block 6 and the insertion constraint groove 16, the rotation of the rotating fixed ring 13 will drive the rotating sleeve 4 to rotate around the fixed shaft 1. After the rotating fixed ring 13 rotates 180 degrees, the fixed connection groove 5 on the rotating sleeve 4 will be aligned with the insertion fixed groove 21 on the fixed shaft 1.
[0035] At this time, the movable constraint block 14 can move from the fixed connection groove 5 and be inserted into the inner side of the insertion fixed groove 21. The rotating connection block 3 is located inside the rotating constraint groove 2. The rotating sleeve 4 is connected to the rotating connection block 3. One end of the rotating torsion spring 7 inside the rotating sleeve 4 is connected to one side of the rotating constraint groove 2, and the other end is connected to the rotating connection block 3. During the process of the rotating fixed ring 13 driving the rotating sleeve 4 to rotate, the rotating torsion spring 7 plays the role of providing rebound force.
[0036] When the rotating fixed ring 13 rotates, causing the rotating sleeve 4 to rotate, the rotating torsion spring 7 undergoes elastic deformation and stores elastic potential energy. When the rotating fixed ring 13 stops rotating and is fixed in a new position, the rebound force of the rotating torsion spring 7 helps to maintain the stability of the rotating sleeve 4 and the rotating fixed ring 13, preventing them from rotating unexpectedly due to external vibrations and other factors, and ensuring their stability.
[0037] A fixing constraint groove 12 is provided on the fixing limit block 11 in the fixing assembly. A pressing fixing plate 17 is provided in the groove. The pressing fixing plate 17 is fixed between the fixing limit block 11 and the fixing connecting block 9 by two rotating studs 19. The pressing constraint block 18 on the pressing fixing plate 17 abuts against the rotating fixing ring 13. The pressing fixing plate 17 is inserted into the pressing constraint groove 8 of the fixing shaft 1 and the pressing fixing groove 15 of the rotating fixing ring 13.
[0038] This structural design further enhances the stability of the rotating fixed ring 13 on the fixed shaft 1, preventing the rotating fixed ring 13 from loosening or shifting during operation, ensuring the positional accuracy of the fixed rubber head 20 during the printing process, and thus ensuring printing quality.
[0039] The remaining structure is the same as that in Example 1.
[0040] It should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solution of this utility model without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solution of this utility model, and all such modifications or substitutions should be covered within the scope of the claims of this utility model.
