[0022] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0023] Example 1: Temperature-controlled color-developing printing device for photochromic inks, please refer to [link / reference]. Figures 1-6 The system includes a support platform 1, an electric slide rail 2, an electric slider 3, a printing plate 4, a lighting lamp 401, a support frame 5, a storage bin 6, a feed pipe 7, a protective cover 8, a connecting pipe 11, and a protective rubber pad 12. The electric slide rail 2 is installed on the rear side of the support platform 1, and the electric slider 3 is slidably mounted on the electric slide rail 2. The printing plate 4 is fixedly connected to the front side of the electric slider 3. Lighting lamps 401 are installed on the left and right sides inside the support platform 1. The support frame 5 is fixedly connected to the rear side of the support platform 1, and the storage bin 6 is fixedly connected to the support frame 5. The top of the storage bin 6 is connected to and connected to the feed pipe 7, and the top of the feed pipe 7 is covered with a protective cover 8. The bottom middle of the storage bin 6 is connected to and connected to the feed pipe 7. The lower end of the feed pipe 7 is connected to the printing plate 4. A protective rubber pad 12 is adhered inside the support platform 1 to buffer the printing pressure. A controller 10 is installed on the left side of the support frame 5. A heating pipe 9 is connected to the rear of the controller 10 and is wound around the inside of the storage tank 6. A rubber plate 20 is provided at the bottom of the support platform 1 to prevent slipping and shock absorption, and to improve the overall stability of the device. A protective plate 21 is slidably installed on the left side of the support platform 1 to cover the controller 10 and prevent accidental contact or dust contamination. A pull ring 22 is fixedly connected to the top of the protective cover 8 to increase the grip point between the hand and the protective cover 8, making it easier to pick up and pull the protective cover 8.
[0024] When using this device, first, pull up the protective cover 8 to open the feed pipe 7 and inject the photochromic ink into the storage tank 6. After injection, close the protective cover 8 and close the feed pipe 7 to allow dust and other impurities to enter the storage tank 6 through the feed pipe 7. Next, start the controller 10, set the heating temperature, and the heating tube 9 will start running to heat the photochromic ink in the storage tank 6, ensuring that the ink can display the preset color or pattern during printing, thereby avoiding unstable color performance of the printed product and reducing printing quality. Place the substrate on... The printing plate is placed on the protective pad 12. Then, the electric slide rail 2 is activated, driving the electric slider 3 to move downward, which in turn moves the printing plate 4 downward to contact the substrate. At the same time, the storage tank 6 supplies photochromic ink to the printing plate 4 through the feed pipe 7. The ink is evenly coated on the substrate through the printing plate 4. The lighting lamp 401 provides a basic light source to assist in observing the printing effect. After printing is completed, the electric slide rail 2 is controlled to drive the electric slider 3 to move upward, which in turn moves the printing plate 4 upward. The printed substrate is then removed from the protective pad 12 and air-dried.
[0025] Example 2: Based on Example 1, please refer to... Figure 1 and Figure 5 The support platform 1 has sliding limit plates 13 on both sides and a locking plate 14 on both sides. The locking plate 14 is close to the limit plate 13. A warm light 15 is installed on the limit plate 13. A handle 16 is fixedly connected to the side of the limit plate 13 away from the warm light 15. When the warm light 15 is not needed, first pull the locking plate 14 outward to release the lock on the limit plate 13, and then hold the handle 16 to pull the limit plate 13 outward to remove the warm light 15 from the inside of the support platform 1.
[0026] After the printing plate 4 moves upward, the printed substrate is removed and moved below the support table 1. The warm light 15 is turned on, and the light shines on the surface of the substrate to dry the ink, accelerate the ink solidification, and improve printing efficiency.
[0027] Please see Figure 6 A motor 17 is installed at the top center of the storage tank 6. The output shaft of the motor 17 is connected to a connecting rod 18 via a coupling. A mixing rack 19 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the connecting rod 18.
[0028] When using the device, start the motor 17. The output shaft of the motor 17 rotates, which drives the connecting rod 18 to rotate, driving the stirring rack 19 to stir the photochromic ink in the storage tank 6. The stirring rack 19 continuously stirs the ink to maintain uniform mixing, thereby preventing pigment sedimentation and effectively reducing the occurrence of skin formation on the ink surface, ensuring the uniformity and stability of the ink.
[0029] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this utility model. 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 solutions of this utility model without departing from the essence and scope of the technical solutions of this utility model.
