[0022] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0023] Please refer to the following: Figures 1-5 ,in, Figure 1 A schematic diagram of a preferred embodiment of the doctor blade pressure adjustment mechanism for a gravure printing machine provided by this utility model; Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the connection structure between the linkage pressure plate and the connecting column in this utility model; Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the assembly structure of the mounting plate and scraper blade in this utility model; Figure 4This is a schematic diagram of the card slot in this utility model; Figure 5 This is a schematic diagram of the vertical embedding hole in this utility model. The doctor blade pressure adjustment mechanism of the gravure printing machine includes: a supporting main frame 1, with the same linkage pressure plate 2 slidably installed on both sides of the supporting main frame 1; a rectangular frame 3 fixedly installed at the bottom of the linkage pressure plate 2; a mounting plate 5 provided inside the rectangular frame 3; a doctor blade 6 provided below the mounting plate 5; the doctor blade 6 passing through the bottom of the rectangular frame 3 and movably connected to the bottom of the rectangular frame 3; a fixing frame 7 fixedly installed at the top of the mounting plate 5; and two pressure springs 8 fixedly installed at the top of the fixing frame 7. The top ends of the two pressure springs 8 are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the top of the rectangular frame 3. The pressure springs 8 can provide a downward pressure to the doctor blade 6, thereby adjusting the pressure between it and the printing plate. A secondary support frame 11 is fixedly installed on the top of the main support frame 1. A connecting column 9 is slidably installed on the top of the main support frame 1, with its bottom end fixedly connected to the linkage pressure plate 2. Its top end extends into the secondary support frame 11 and is fixedly installed with a cone head 10. A double-ended screw 12 is rotatably installed inside the secondary support frame 11, with two connecting bars 13 threaded on it. Push bars 14 are fixedly installed on the side of the two connecting bars 13 that are close to each other, and both push bars 14 have beveled edges on the side that are close to each other. Both beveled edges fit and adapt to the outer wall of the cone head 10. Guide rods are fixedly installed on the inner walls of both sides of the secondary support frame 11. The two guide rods pass through the two connecting bars 13 respectively and are slidably connected to the corresponding connecting bars 13.

[0024] In the above method, in order to enable the mounting plate 5 to move linearly, two guide slides 4 are fixedly installed inside the rectangular frame 3. Both guide slides 4 pass through the mounting plate 5 and are slidably connected to the mounting plate 5.

[0025] In this method, in order to prevent the double-ended lead screw 12 from rotating in its natural state, a boss is fixedly installed on one side of the outer wall of the support sub-frame 11, and a set screw is threaded on it. The bottom end of the set screw abuts against the double-ended lead screw 12, thereby forming an external force that restricts the double-ended lead screw 12.

[0026] In this method, in order to ensure that the linkage pressure plate 2 can only slide in a linear vertical direction, long slide rails are provided on both sides of the main support frame 1. The linkage pressure plate 2 passes through the two long slide rails, and uprights are fixedly installed in the two long slide rails. The two uprights pass through the linkage pressure plate 2 and are slidably connected to the linkage pressure plate 2.

[0027] In this method, when the scraper blade 6 becomes severely worn and needs to be replaced, two engaging grooves 15 are provided on one side of the mounting plate 5 for easy replacement. Each engaging groove 15 contains a snap-fit ​​block 16, the bottom of which is fixedly connected to the scraper blade 6. Furthermore, each snap-fit ​​block 16 has a vertical recess 17 at its top. A threaded rod 18 is rotatably mounted on the top of the mounting bracket 7, its bottom end rotatably connected to the mounting plate 5. A linkage plate 19 is threaded onto the threaded rod 18, and two vertical inserts 20 are fixedly mounted at the bottom of the linkage plate 19. The bottom ends of the two vertical inserts 20 extend into the two vertical recesses 17, and both vertical inserts 20 are slidably connected to the mounting plate 5. Additionally, two limiting rods are fixed on the top of the mounting plate 5, their top ends fixed to the inner top wall of the mounting bracket 7, and both limiting rods penetrate the linkage plate 19 and are slidably connected to it.

[0028] The working principle of the doctor blade pressure adjustment mechanism of the gravure printing machine provided by this utility model is as follows:

[0029] When using this device, the main support frame 1 is directly fixed at the designated position on the printing press, and the bottom of the doctor blade 6 is in contact with the top of the printing plate.

[0030] When the printing press is in normal use, the doctor blade 6 can scrape off the ink from the non-image areas on the surface of the printing cylinder;

[0031] When it is necessary to adjust the pressure of the doctor blade 6 to increase the contact force between it and the printing plate, first screw the set screw to separate it from the double-ended screw 12, and then directly rotate the double-ended screw 12 clockwise. The two connecting bars 13 will move closer to each other. At this time, the inclined edge of the push bar 14 will contact the outer wall of the cone head 10, and the two will generate a squeezing force. The cone head 10 will descend with the connecting column 9, and then it can also descend with the linkage pressure plate 2 and the rectangular frame 3. During the descent, the doctor blade 6 will always be in contact with the printing plate. At this time, the two pressure springs 8 will be compressed, which can generate a downward pushing force on the mounting plate 5 and the doctor blade 6, thereby increasing the pressure between the doctor blade 6 and the printing plate. Once the pressure is adjusted to a suitable range, stop rotating the double-ended screw 12.

[0032] In subsequent use, when the scraper blade 6 needs to be replaced due to wear of the blade edge after long-term use, simply rotate the threaded rod 18 counterclockwise. The linkage plate 19 will lift the two vertical inserts 20, eventually bringing the two vertical inserts 20 out of the corresponding vertical insert holes 17. Then, directly pull out the scraper blade 6 along with the fastening block 16, take out the new scraper blade 6, insert the fastening block 16 on it into the engagement groove 15, and then rotate the threaded rod 18 clockwise to bring the two vertical inserts 20 into the corresponding vertical insert holes 17.

[0033] Compared with related technologies, the doctor blade pressure adjustment mechanism of the gravure printing machine provided by this utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0034] This utility model provides a doctor blade pressure adjustment mechanism for a gravure printing machine. Through the abutting and adapting relationship between the push bar 14 and the cone head 10, the rectangular frame 3 can be driven to rise or fall by rotating the double-ended screw 12, thereby forming a downward squeezing force on the pressure spring 8. This allows for adaptive and flexible adjustment of the pressure between the doctor blade 6 and the printing plate, providing good protection for both the doctor blade 6 and the printing plate. Furthermore, the severely worn doctor blade 6 can be quickly replaced by rotating the threaded rod 18, facilitating daily printing use.
