Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of printer technology, and in particular to a printer suction cup assembly. Background Technology

[0002] The printer suction cup assembly is a key component used for fixing and separating products. It is usually made of rubber or silicone and uses negative pressure adsorption to precisely deliver the product into the printing area.

[0003] Traditional printing platform assemblies typically consist of a suction assembly and a rigid suction cover. Their working principle involves the suction assembly creating negative pressure at the bottom of the cover, thus adhering the object to the top surface of the cover. However, when the surface of the adsorbed object is uneven, has curvature, minor bumps, or warped corners, the rigid suction cover cannot fully adhere to the object's surface, resulting in insufficient sealing, negative pressure leakage, and a significant decrease in suction force. In this situation, the object cannot be stably contained on the upper surface of the platform cover, and the deformation and warped corners of the material cannot be flattened. Because digital printing requires the printhead to be only 2-4mm away from the printed surface, and the printing module must be raised due to material deformation, traditional platform methods cannot achieve high-quality prints when encountering deformed materials. Furthermore, if the warped corners of the material are overlooked by the operator, they can pose a risk of scratching the printhead. Therefore, this solution proposes a printer suction cup platform assembly to address the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a printer suction cup assembly to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0006] Platform PVC components;

[0007] A suction cover is disposed on top of the platform PVC assembly;

[0008] A suction assembly is disposed at the bottom of the platform PVC assembly;

[0009] A suction cup is inserted and connected to the top of the suction cover, and the suction cup is used to help fix the product.

[0010] A driving component is disposed at the bottom of the suction cup and is used to drive the suction cup to move.

[0011] Preferably, a second suction side cover and a first suction side cover are respectively provided on both sides of the top of the platform PVC component, and support plates are symmetrically fixedly connected to both sides of the platform PVC component, and multiple support plates are respectively used to support the second suction side cover and the first suction side cover.

[0012] Preferably, a blocking cylinder assembly is provided on one side of the platform PVC component, and multiple four-way connectors are provided at the bottom of the platform PVC component.

[0013] Preferably, the suction assembly includes a suction pipe disposed at the bottom of the platform PVC assembly, and a sealing gasket is provided at the connection between the platform PVC assembly and the suction pipe.

[0014] Preferably, the driving component includes a spring-type buffer connector disposed at the bottom of the suction cup, and the bottom of the spring-type buffer connector is provided with a connecting connector for connecting negative pressure.

[0016] Preferably, the bottom end of the platform PVC component is fixedly connected to an installation plate, and the buffer cylinder is fixedly connected to one side of the installation plate.

[0017] The technical effects and advantages of this utility model are as follows:

[0018] This invention, through the design of suction cups and driving components, allows for the printing of products with uneven surfaces. First, the product is moved to the upper surface of the suction cover and adsorbed by the rigid suction platform. Then, the suction cups further restrict the product, controlling deformation of sheet-like products, reducing the printing distance between the product and the printhead, improving printing accuracy, and preventing the edges of the sheet from warping and scratching the printhead. Furthermore, the suction cups can forcibly flatten warped edges, thus reducing the printer's requirements for sheet flatness and increasing sheet utilization. Attached Figure Description

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.

[0025] This utility model provides, for example Figure 1-4 Shown:

[0026] Example 1: A printer suction cup assembly, comprising:

[0027] Platform PVC component 2;

[0028] Suction cover 1 is installed on top of the platform PVC component 2;

[0029] The suction component is located at the bottom of the PVC component 2 on the platform;

[0030] Suction cup 9 is inserted and connected to the top of suction cover 1. Suction cup 9 is used to help fix the product.

[0031] The drive component is located at the bottom of the suction cup 9 and is used to move the suction cup 9.

[0032] It should be noted that the suction cover 1 has multiple ventilation holes for gas to pass through during use; the top of the platform PVC component 2 has multiple interconnected slots, allowing gas to enter the suction component through these interconnected slots; the suction cup 9 is a functional component that uses negative pressure adsorption to grasp or fix objects. It is made of elastic material and works by creating a negative pressure inside the suction cup 9 through vacuuming, thereby generating adsorption force; when printing on products with uneven surfaces, the product is first moved to the upper surface of the suction cover 1, and then the drive component moves the suction cup 9 to one side of the product, thereby using the suction cup 9 to further restrict the product, reducing product deformation and improving product utilization and printing accuracy.

[0033] Specifically, a second suction side cover plate 15 and a first suction side cover plate 6 are respectively provided on both sides of the top of the platform PVC component 2. Support plates 3 are symmetrically fixedly connected to both sides of the platform PVC component 2. Multiple support plates 3 are used to support the second suction side cover plate 15 and the first suction side cover plate 6 respectively.

[0034] It should be noted that there are two support plates 3, which are fixedly connected to both sides of the platform PVC component 2, and the two suction side covers are fixed by the two support plates 3.

[0035] Specifically, a blocking cylinder group 14 is provided on one side of the platform PVC component 2, and multiple four-way connectors 7 are provided at the bottom of the platform PVC component 2.

[0036] Specifically, the suction assembly includes a suction pipe 4 located at the bottom of the platform PVC assembly 2, and a sealing gasket 5 is provided at the connection between the platform PVC assembly 2 and the suction pipe 4.

[0037] It should be noted that a hole adapted to the suction pipe 4 is opened at the bottom of the platform PVC component 2, and the suction pipe 4 is fixed to the bottom of the platform PVC component 2 by the sealing gasket 5 and fasteners. The connection between the platform PVC component 2 and the suction pipe 4 is sealed by the sealing gasket 5. The end of the suction pipe 4 away from the platform PVC component 2 is connected to the vacuum device. When using the vacuum device and the suction pipe 4, the gas at the top of the platform PVC component 2 is extracted, so that the top of the platform PVC component 2 forms a negative pressure and generates suction.

[0038] Example 2: A driving component, applied to the suction cup component in Example 1;

[0039] Specifically, the driving component includes a spring-type buffer joint 13 located at the bottom of the suction cup 9. The bottom of the spring-type buffer joint 13 is provided with a connecting joint 10 for connecting negative pressure. A connecting plate 8 is sleeved in the middle of the spring-type buffer joint 13. A buffer cylinder 11 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the connecting plate 8. A mounting plate 12 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the platform PVC component 2. The buffer cylinder 11 is fixedly connected to one side of the mounting plate 12.

[0040] It should be noted that the spring-type buffer joint 13 is a mechanical connection component that uses the elastic deformation of a spring to absorb impact energy, alleviate vibration, and compensate for displacement. Its core structure consists of inner and outer sleeves, a preloaded spring, and a sealing assembly. Through the compression and rebound characteristics of the spring, it effectively buffers the impact brought by the product while allowing axial displacement. The connecting joint 10 is used to connect the buffer joint and the negative pressure pipeline. A negative pressure gauge is installed on the negative pressure pipeline, and the signal of the negative pressure gauge is connected to the PLC to monitor the status of the suction cup 9. The buffer cylinder 11 is an actuator that converts the energy of compressed air into linear reciprocating mechanical energy. Its structure consists of a cylinder, piston, piston rod, end cover, and seals. Compressed air drives the piston to make linear movements in the cylinder, thereby outputting push-pull force or displacement. The mounting plate 12 is L-shaped and fixes the position of the buffer cylinder 11. The connecting plate 8 is used to connect the buffer cylinder 11 and the spring-type buffer joint 13, and the buffer cylinder 11 drives the spring-type buffer joint 13 to move.
