Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of etching plate making equipment, and in particular to an etching plate making equipment. Background Technology

[0002] An etching plate-making device is a device used to remove specific portions of the surface of a material by chemical or physical methods, thereby forming a desired pattern, text, or structure on the material.

[0003] In the printing industry, when etching printing templates, dust may adhere to the surface of the template during transportation or placement, forming a barrier layer that prevents the etching solution from directly contacting the template surface. This can cause the etching solution to not act evenly on the template surface, resulting in uneven etching. Furthermore, areas covered by dust may not be fully etched by the etching solution, while areas not covered by dust may be over-etched, thus affecting the quality of the printing template. Utility Model Content

[0004] The technical problem this invention aims to solve is that during the etching process of printing templates in the printing industry, dust may adhere to the surface of the template during transportation or placement, forming a barrier layer that hinders the direct contact between the etching solution and the template surface. This results in the etching solution not being able to act evenly on the template surface, causing uneven etching. Furthermore, areas covered by dust may not be fully etched by the etching solution, while areas not covered by dust may be excessively etched, thus affecting the quality of the printing template.

[0005] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is as follows: an etching plate-making device, including an etching machine, a sliding bracket fixedly connected to one side of the etching machine, a first electric telescopic rod provided on one side of the sliding bracket, a robotic arm fixedly connected to the output rod of the first electric telescopic rod, an etching pool provided on one side of the etching machine, a cleaning pool provided on one side of the etching machine, a cleaning device provided on one side of the etching machine, and a drying device provided on one side of the etching machine. The cleaning device can perform pre-treatment cleaning on the surface of the printing template that has not yet been etched, removing the dust barrier layer that adheres to the printing template during transportation or placement, avoiding affecting the subsequent etching process, allowing the surface to fully contact the etching solution for corrosion, and improving the quality of the printing template. The drying device can air dry the surface of the cleaned printing template, blowing away excess moisture to avoid diluting the etching solution after entering the etching pool, thus improving the etching effect.

[0006] The aforementioned components achieve the following effects: In the printing industry, when etching printing templates, the first electric telescopic rod is activated in conjunction with the robotic arm to clamp the printing template. Then, the sliding bracket on the etching machine is activated to drive the first electric telescopic rod to one end, allowing the clamped printing template to pass through a cleaning device. This pre-cleans the surface of the printing template, removing dust and debris that may have adhered during transport or placement, thus preventing interference with subsequent etching processes. This ensures the surface can fully contact the etching solution for corrosion, improving the quality of the printing template. Next, an air-drying device dries excess moisture from the surface, preventing dilution of the etching solution upon entry into the etching pool and enhancing the etching effect. Finally, after the printing template is transported to the top of the etching pool, the first electric telescopic rod is activated again, driving the robotic arm and the clamped printing template downwards, placing it into the etching pool. This allows the surface to fully contact the etching solution for corrosion, completing the etching process. Finally, after being lifted, the template is placed in a cleaning pool to remove excess etching solution and prevent over-corrosion.

[0007] Preferably, the cleaning device includes a water outlet pool, one side of which is fixedly connected to one side of the etching machine. A water tank is fixedly connected to one side of the water outlet pool, and a water pump is fixedly connected to one end of the water tank. An inlet pipe is fixedly connected to the inlet of the water pump and inserted into one side of the water tank. Water outlet pipes are fixedly connected to both outlets of the water pump. A spray frame is fixedly connected to one end of the water outlet pipe. A fixing frame is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the spray frame, and one end of the fixing frame is fixedly connected to one side of the top of the water outlet pool.

[0008] The effect achieved by the above components is as follows: by setting up a cleaning device, when the robotic arm transports the printing template that needs to be etched to a certain position between two water spray racks, the water pump is started to draw water from the water tank into the two water outlet pipes through the water inlet pipe, and then sprays it out from the water spray rack on the fixed frame to rinse the surface of the printing template, clean away the dust barrier layer adhering to its surface, avoid affecting the subsequent etching process, and allow its surface to fully contact the etching solution for corrosion, thereby improving the quality of the printing template. The rinsed water will fall into the water outlet pool below and then be discharged from the bottom outlet.

[0009] Preferably, a second electric telescopic rod is fixedly connected to one side of the fixing frame, and a wiping block is fixedly connected to the output rod of the second electric telescopic rod. The wiping block is made of sponge material.

[0010] The effect achieved by the above components is as follows: by setting the second electric telescopic rod and the wiping block, when the printing template to be etched is transported between the two water spray racks, the two second electric telescopic rods can be activated to drive the wiping block to one end, so that one side of it abuts against the two sides of the printing template, squeezing and wiping off the more stubborn dust, making its surface cleaner.

[0011] Preferably, a reinforcing rod is symmetrically and fixedly connected to the outer surface of the output rod of the second electric telescopic rod, and one side of the reinforcing rod is fixedly connected to one side of the wiping block.

[0012] The effect achieved by the above components is that by setting up the reinforcing rod, the connection area between the output rod of the second electric telescopic rod and the wiping block can be increased, making the connection more firm and stable.

[0013] Preferably, the bottom of the water outlet pool is symmetrically and fixedly connected with several support legs, and the bottom of the support legs is on the same horizontal plane as the bottom of the etching machine.

[0014] The effect achieved by the above components is that by setting up support legs, the bottom of the water outlet pool can be supported and reinforced, making it less prone to shaking during use and more stable.

[0015] Preferably, the drying device includes a rectangular box, an air pump is fixedly connected to the air inlet of the rectangular box, connecting pipes are symmetrically connected to the bottom of the rectangular box, a blower is fixedly connected to one end of the connecting pipe, a round hole frame is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the blower, and one side of the round hole frame is fixedly connected to one side of the etching machine.

[0016] The effect achieved by the above components is as follows: by setting up a drying device, after the cleaning device cleans the surface of the printing template, the air pump on one side of the rectangular box is started to draw the external air into the rectangular box, then into the two connecting pipes, and finally blown out by the blower on the round hole frame to dry the surface of the printing template, drying off its excess moisture, avoiding dilution of the etching solution after entering the etching pool, and improving the etching effect.

[0017] Preferably, filters are fixedly connected to several inner walls of the blower frame.

[0018] The effect achieved by the above components is that by setting up a filter screen, the inner wall of the outlet of the blower frame can be protected, preventing external dust and impurities from entering the interior of the blower frame and causing blockage.

[0019] Preferably, a plurality of heating tubes are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the rectangular box, and the plurality of heating tubes are arranged at equal intervals.

[0020] The effect achieved by the above components is as follows: by setting up a heating tube, after the air pump draws air into the rectangular box, the heating tube is activated to exchange heat with the air to form hot air, which accelerates the drying efficiency and facilitates the rapid drying of the surface of the cleaned printing template.

[0021] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0022] By setting up a cleaning device, the surface of the printing template that has not yet been etched can be pre-treated by cleaning. This removes the dust and obstacles that adhere to the printing template during transportation or placement, preventing them from affecting the subsequent etching process. This allows the surface to fully contact the etching solution for corrosion, thereby improving the quality of the printing template.

[0023] By setting up a drying device, the surface of the cleaned printing template can be dried to remove excess moisture, thus preventing dilution of the etching solution when it enters the etching bath later and improving the etching effect. Attached Figure Description

The cleaning device 2 can perform pre-treatment cleaning on the surface of the printing template that has not yet been etched, removing the dust barrier layer that adheres to the printing template during transportation or placement, so as to avoid affecting the subsequent etching process, and allowing the surface to fully contact the etching solution for corrosion, thereby improving the quality of the printing template. The drying device 3 can air dry the surface of the cleaning printing template, blowing away excess moisture to prevent dilution of the etching solution after entering the etching pool 7, thus improving the etching effect. In the printing industry, when etching printing templates, the first electric telescopic rod 5 is activated in conjunction with the robotic arm 6 to clamp the printing template. Then, the sliding bracket 4 on the etching machine 1 is activated to drive the first electric telescopic rod 5 to slide to one end, allowing the clamped printing template to pass through the cleaning device 2. This pre-treats the surface of the printing template to be etched, removing the dust and obstacles that adhered to the template during transport or placement, thus preventing them from affecting the subsequent etching process. This ensures that the surface can fully contact the etching solution for corrosion, improving the quality of the printing template. Then, the drying device 3 blows away excess moisture from the surface to prevent dilution of the etching solution when it enters the etching pool 7, thus improving the etching effect. Finally, after the printing template is transported to the top of the etching pool 7, the first electric telescopic rod 5 is activated again to drive the robotic arm 6 and the clamped printing template downwards, placing it into the etching pool 7. This allows the surface to fully contact the etching solution for corrosion, completing the etching process. Finally, after being lifted, it is placed in the cleaning pool 8 to wash away excess etching solution and prevent over-corrosion. It should be noted that the robotic arm 6 is a mature technology and equipment in the existing technology, and its internal structure, connection method and principle will not be described further.

A fixing frame 27 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the spray frame 26. One side of one end of the fixing frame 27 is fixedly connected to the top side of the water outlet pool 21. After the robotic arm 6 transports the printing template requiring etching to a certain position between the two water spray racks 26, the water pump 23 is activated to draw water from the water tank 22 into the two water outlet pipes 25 through the water inlet pipe 24. The water is then sprayed out by the water spray racks 26 on the fixed frame 27 to rinse the surface of the printing template, removing the dust and debris adhering to its surface to avoid affecting the subsequent etching process. This allows the surface to fully contact the etching solution for corrosion, improving the quality of the printing template. The rinsed water falls into the outlet pool 21 below and is then discharged from the bottom outlet. A second electric telescopic rod 28 is fixedly connected to one side of the fixed frame 27. The output rod of the second electric telescopic rod 28 is fixedly connected to a wiping block 29, which is made of sponge material. By setting up a second electric telescopic rod 28 and a wiping block 29, when the printing template to be etched is transported between the two water spray racks 26, the two second electric telescopic rods 28 can be activated to drive the wiping block 29 to one end, so that one side of it abuts against the two sides of the printing template, squeezing and wiping off the more stubborn dust, making its surface cleaner.

[0034] Figure 2 and Figure 3 The output rod of the second electric telescopic rod 28 shown is symmetrically and fixedly connected with reinforcing rods 210, one side of which is fixedly connected to one side of the wiping block 29. By setting the reinforcing rods 210, the connection area between the output rod of the second electric telescopic rod 28 and the wiping block 29 can be increased, making the connection more secure and stable.

It should be noted that the heating tubes 37 are a mature technology and device in the prior art; their internal structure, connection method, and principle will not be elaborated upon further.

[0037] Working principle: In the printing industry, when etching printing templates, the first electric telescopic rod 5 is activated in conjunction with the robotic arm 6 to clamp the printing template. Then, the sliding bracket 4 on the etching machine 1 is activated to drive the first electric telescopic rod 5 to one end, transporting it to a certain position between the two water spray racks 26. At this point, the water pump 23 is activated to draw water from the water tank 22 into the two water outlet pipes 25 through the water inlet pipe 24. The water is then sprayed out by the water spray racks 26 on the fixed frame 27 to rinse the surface of the printing template. Simultaneously, the two second electric telescopic rods 28 are activated to move the wiping block 29 to one end, so that one side of it abuts against both sides of the printing template to remove stubborn stains. Dust is squeezed and wiped off, removing the dust layer adhering to the surface to avoid affecting subsequent etching processes. This allows the surface to fully contact the etching solution for corrosion, improving the quality of the printing template. The rinsed water falls into the lower water tank 21 and is then discharged from the bottom outlet. Finally, after the printing template is transported above the etching tank 7, the first electric telescopic rod 5 is activated again to drive the robotic arm 6 and the holding printing template downwards, placing it into the etching tank 7 so that its surface can fully contact the etching solution for corrosion, thus completing the etching process. Finally, it is lifted and placed into the cleaning tank 8 to wash away excess etching solution from its surface, preventing over-corrosion.

[0038] After the cleaning device 2 cleans the surface of the printing template, the air pump 32 on one side of the rectangular box 31 is started to draw external air into the rectangular box 31.
