Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of screen printing machine technology, specifically to a screen printing machine anti-paper jam device. Background Technology

[0002] A screen printing machine, also known as a silkscreen printing press, is a device that prints ink onto the surface of various materials using a silkscreen screen. The working principle of a screen printing machine is to use a silkscreen as a printing plate, and rely on the squeegee pressure to transfer ink through the mesh of the silkscreen onto the substrate, thereby achieving the printing of the pattern.

[0003] A Chinese patent (CN102152603B) discloses a fully automatic roll-to-roll screen printing machine, including an automatic roll-out device, an automatic printing device, and an automatic drying device. The automatic printing device has a feeding end, a printing mechanism, and a discharging end. The automatic roll-out device, equipped with a feeding roller, is placed at the feeding end. The roll-to-roll workpiece enters the feeding end through the automatic roll-out device, is printed by the printing mechanism, and exits from the discharging end, being fed into the automatic drying device. This invention can automatically perform a series of steps, including printing, drying, and winding into rolls, on roll-to-roll products such as paper and film, achieving a high level of automation.

[0004] Fully automatic screen printing machines, as precision printing equipment, are widely used in industrial production in fields such as packaging and decoration, and electronic product panels. Their core process uses a UV curing system to achieve instantaneous ink drying, with operating temperatures typically reaching 80-120℃. However, during high-speed continuous operation, paper jams often occur. These jams are often only detected and require manual intervention after 3-5 minutes. During this process, the stuck paper is continuously irradiated by the UV lamps, causing it to heat up and potentially burn, posing a significant safety hazard.

[0005] While existing technologies use infrared detection devices for paper jam warnings, these devices are often fixed in place and difficult to adjust in terms of position and height. For different types of paper, which often have different light transmittance, infrared detection devices with a fixed distance are not suitable for printing detection on different types of paper. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide a paper jam prevention device for screen printing machines to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a paper jam prevention device for a screen printing machine, comprising: a frame and a paper conveyor belt, wherein the paper conveyor belt is provided between the frames, support seats are provided on both sides of the top of the frame, support rods are provided between the support seats, C-shaped clamps are provided on the outer wall of the support rods, a fixing plate is provided on one side of the outer wall of the C-shaped clamps, a connecting rod is connected to the top of the fixing plate by bolts, a T-shaped groove is provided on one side of the connecting rod, a T-shaped bolt is provided in the T-shaped groove, a height adjustment rod is provided at one end of the T-shaped bolt, a mounting plate is provided on the height adjustment rod, and an infrared sensor is provided at the bottom of the mounting plate.

[0010] Furthermore, a rod sleeve is provided on one side of the mounting plate, and the rod sleeve and the height adjustment rod are in clearance fit. A locking screw is provided on one side of the rod sleeve, and one end of the locking screw can abut against the outer wall of the height adjustment rod.

[0011] Furthermore, the top of the C-shaped clamp is provided with a screw that abuts against the support rod.

[0012] Furthermore, infrared sensors are installed on the support rods located at both ends of the paper conveyor belt.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0014] This utility model, through the setting of infrared sensors, T-slots and height adjustment rods, realizes the anti-paper jam device of screen printing machines. When the infrared sensor is set above the paper conveyor belt to sense the paper, if no paper is sensed, it sends a signal to the equipment. The microcomputer controller on the equipment controls the audible and visual alarm to issue an alarm in time to remind and handle the situation, thus preventing prolonged paper jams.

[0015] During the installation of the infrared sensor, the angle of the connecting rod can be adjusted by bolting the connecting rod. The position of the infrared sensor can be adjusted by the cooperation of the T-slot and T-bolt, ensuring that the infrared sensor can be used to detect paper of different widths. At the same time, the height of the infrared sensor can be adjusted by the height adjustment rod and the mounting plate, which is suitable for detecting paper with different light transmittance and reducing missed detections and false detections.
