Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of carton printing technology, specifically to a surface printing machine for packaging cartons. Background Technology
[0002] A packaging carton surface printing machine is a machine used to print text and images on the surface of packaging cartons.
[0003] Existing packaging carton printing machines typically only allow one carton to be printed at a time. After a single carton is printed, the operator needs to unload the material and then place the new carton on the feeding table to adjust its position before the next round of printing can begin, resulting in low work efficiency.
[0004] Therefore, a packaging carton surface printing machine is provided to address the above-mentioned problems. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a printing machine for the surface of packaging cartons to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:
[0007] This utility model relates to a printing machine for the surface of packaging cartons, comprising a base, a control panel on the outer surface of the base, a frame mounted on the upper surface of the base, a crossbeam on the front side of the frame, a bracket on the front side of the crossbeam, a printing head mounted at one end of the bracket, mounting plates symmetrically mounted on the front side of the crossbeam, and clamping components fixedly mounted at one end of each mounting plate, with a screen installed between the two sets of clamping components. The machine is characterized in that a feeding mechanism is mounted on the upper surface of the base.
[0008] Furthermore, the clamping assembly includes a fixing plate, a placement frame, a twisting block, and clamping rods. A fixing plate is fixedly installed at one end of the mounting plate, and a placement frame is fixedly installed on one side of the fixing plate. Four sets of clamping rods are threadedly connected to the inner wall of the placement frame. One end of each clamping rod extends to the upper surface of the placement frame, and a twisting block is fixedly installed at one end of each clamping rod. A wire mesh is provided inside the placement frame, and one end of each clamping rod abuts against the wire mesh.
[0009] Furthermore, the feeding mechanism includes a fixed seat and a slide groove. The fixed seat is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the machine base, and the upper surface of the fixed seat is provided with a slide groove. The number of slide grooves is fixed to two.
[0010] Furthermore, the feeding mechanism also includes a first feeding platform, a second feeding platform, connecting rods, and sliders. The upper surface of the fixed base is respectively provided with the first feeding platform and the second feeding platform. Two sets of connecting rods are fixedly installed between the first feeding platform and the second feeding platform. Two sets of sliders are fixedly installed on the lower surface of the first feeding platform and the second feeding platform. The two sets of sliders are slidably connected to the slide groove.
[0011] Furthermore, the feeding mechanism also includes a mounting housing, a motor, and a lead screw. The mounting housing is fixedly mounted on the upper surface of the machine base. The motor is installed inside the mounting housing. A lead screw is installed at the output end of the motor. One end of the lead screw is rotatably connected to the inside of the mounting housing.
[0012] Furthermore, the feeding mechanism also includes a movable connecting plate, which is slidably connected to the outer surface of the lead screw. The movable connecting plate extends to the outer surface of the mounting housing and is slidably connected to the inner wall of the mounting housing. One end of the movable connecting plate is slidably connected to the outer surface of the second feeding platform.
[0013] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0014] (1) This utility model places two sets of cartons on the first and second feeding platforms, adjusts their positions, and drives the screen to press the packaging boxes through the above operation. Then, the printing head prints the packaging boxes. After the packaging boxes on the second feeding platform are printed, the staff removes the packaging boxes from the second feeding platform. At the same time, the motor starts and drives the lead screw to rotate. The rotation of the lead screw causes the movable connecting plate, which is slidably connected to its outer surface, to move. Since one end of the movable connecting plate is slidably connected to the outer surface of the second feeding platform, the movement of the movable connecting plate will drive the second feeding platform to move. Since the first and second feeding platforms are connected by a connecting rod and the slider slides in the groove, the movement of the second feeding platform will drive the first feeding platform to move synchronously. This achieves the goal of moving the packaging boxes on the first feeding platform to the bottom of the printing head for printing. While printing, the staff can place the packaging boxes to be printed on the second feeding platform and adjust their positions. After the packaging boxes on the first feeding platform are printed, they can be moved directly to the bottom of the printing head. This process can be repeated to complete the cyclic printing work and improve the efficiency of packaging box printing.

[0023] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0024] Please see Figure 1 - Figure 4 As shown, this utility model is a packaging carton surface printing machine, including a base 1, a control panel 101 on the outer surface of the base 1, a frame 3 installed on the upper surface of the base 1, a crossbeam 4 on the front side of the frame 3, a bracket 5 on the front side of the crossbeam 4, a printing head 6 installed at one end of the bracket 5, mounting plates 7 symmetrically installed on the front side of the crossbeam 4, a clamping assembly 8 fixedly installed at one end of each mounting plate 7, a screen 9 installed between the two sets of clamping assemblies 8, and a feeding mechanism 2 installed on the upper surface of the base 1.
[0025] The frame 3 is equipped with a lifting mechanism inside, and the output end of the lifting mechanism is connected to the support 5. The crossbeam frame 4 is equipped with a translation mechanism inside, and the output end of the translation mechanism is connected to the support 5.
[0026] The clamping assembly 8 includes a fixing plate 801, a placement frame 802, a twisting block 803, and clamping rods 804. The fixing plate 801 is fixedly installed on one end of the mounting plate 7, and the placement frame 802 is fixedly installed on one side of the fixing plate 801. Four sets of clamping rods 804 are threadedly connected to the inner wall of the placement frame 802. One end of the clamping rod 804 extends to the upper surface of the placement frame 802, and a twisting block 803 is fixedly installed on one end of each clamping rod 804. A wire mesh 9 is provided inside the placement frame 802, and one end of the clamping rod 804 abuts against the wire mesh 9.
[0027] The feeding mechanism 2 includes a fixed base 201 and a slide 202. The fixed base 201 is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the machine base 1. The upper surface of the fixed base 201 is provided with a slide 202. The number of slides 202 is fixed to two.
[0028] The feeding mechanism 2 also includes a first feeding platform 203, a second feeding platform 204, connecting rods 205 and sliders 206. The upper surface of the fixed base 201 is respectively provided with the first feeding platform 203 and the second feeding platform 204. Two sets of connecting rods 205 are fixedly installed between the first feeding platform 203 and the second feeding platform 204. Two sets of sliders 206 are fixedly installed on the lower surface of the first feeding platform 203 and the second feeding platform 204. The two sets of sliders 206 are slidably connected to the slide groove 202.
[0029] The feeding mechanism 2 also includes a mounting housing 207, a motor 208 and a lead screw 209. The mounting housing 207 is fixedly mounted on the upper surface of the base 1. The motor 208 is installed inside the mounting housing 207. The lead screw 209 is installed at the output end of the motor 208. One end of the lead screw 209 is rotatably connected to the inside of the mounting housing 207.
[0030] The feeding mechanism 2 also includes a movable connecting plate 210. The movable connecting plate 210 is slidably connected to the outer surface of the lead screw 209. The movable connecting plate 210 extends to the outer surface of the mounting housing 207 and is slidably connected to the inner wall of the mounting housing 207. One end of the movable connecting plate 210 is slidably connected to the outer surface of the second feeding platform 204.
[0031] By placing two sets of cartons above the first feeding platform 203 and the second feeding platform 204, and adjusting their positions, the screen 9 presses the cartons down through the above operation, and then the printing head 6 prints on the cartons. After printing on the cartons on the second feeding platform 204, the workers remove the cartons from the second feeding platform 204. At the same time, the motor 208 starts, driving the lead screw 209 to rotate. The rotation of the lead screw 209 causes the movable connecting plate 210, which is slidably connected to its outer surface, to move. Since one end of the movable connecting plate 210 is slidably connected to the outer surface of the second feeding platform 204, the movement of the movable connecting plate 210 will drive the second feeding platform 204 to move. 4. Movement: Because the first feeding platform 203 and the second feeding platform 204 are connected by the connecting rod 205, and the slider 206 slides in the groove 202, the movement of the second feeding platform 204 will drive the first feeding platform 203 to move synchronously. This allows the packaging box above the first feeding platform 203 to be moved below the printing head 6 for printing. While printing, the staff can place the packaging box to be printed on the second feeding platform 204 and adjust its position. After the packaging box on the first feeding platform 203 is printed, it can be moved directly to the bottom of the printing head 6. This process can be repeated to complete the cyclic printing work, improving the efficiency of packaging box printing.
[0032] In use, the clamping assembly 8 is first used to fix the screen 9. Two sets of fixing plates 801 are fixed to one end of the two sets of mounting plates 7. The screen 9 is placed between the two sets of placement frames 802 on one side of the two sets of fixing plates 801. Four sets of clamping rods 804 are threadedly connected to the inner wall of the placement frame 802. By rotating the torsion block 803, the clamping rods 804 are rotated. When one end of the clamping rod 804 abuts against the screen 9, the screen 9 can be tightly fixed inside the placement frame 802, ensuring the stability of the screen 9 during the printing process. The frame 3 is equipped with a lifting mechanism. The output end of this mechanism is connected to the bracket. 5. The lifting mechanism allows adjustment of the vertical height of the support 5. When the height of the printing head 6 needs adjustment, the lifting mechanism operates according to instructions, raising or lowering the support 5 to change the vertical distance between the printing head 6 and the surface of the packaging carton. This adapts to different thicknesses of cartons or different printing requirements. The crossbeam 4 contains a translation mechanism, the output of which is connected to the support 5. During printing, the translation mechanism moves the support 5 horizontally in front of the crossbeam 4 as needed. This allows the printing head 6, mounted at one end of the support 5, to move horizontally to a suitable position for comprehensive printing on the surface of the packaging carton. Two sets of cardboard boxes are placed above the first feeding platform 203 and the second feeding platform 204, and their positions are adjusted. The screen 9 presses the boxes down, and the printing head 6 prints on them. After printing on the boxes on the second feeding platform 204, the workers remove them. Simultaneously, the motor 208 starts, driving the lead screw 209 to rotate. The rotation of the lead screw 209 causes the movable connecting plate 210, which is slidably connected to its outer surface, to move. Since one end of the movable connecting plate 210 is slidably connected to the outer surface of the second feeding platform 204, the movement of the movable connecting plate 210 will move the second feeding platform 204. The first feeding platform 203 and the second feeding platform 204 are connected by a connecting rod 205, and the slider 206 slides in the groove 202. Therefore, the movement of the second feeding platform 204 will drive the first feeding platform 203 to move synchronously. This allows the packaging box on the first feeding platform 203 to be moved below the printing head 6 for printing. While printing, the staff can place the packaging box to be printed on the second feeding platform 204 and adjust its position. After the packaging box on the first feeding platform 203 is printed, it can be moved directly to the bottom of the printing head 6. This process can be repeated to complete the cyclic printing work, thus improving the efficiency of packaging box printing.
