[0019] The transmission roller assembly 15 includes: a first transmission roller 6 and a second transmission roller 5;
[0020] Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the first drive roller structure. Please refer to it. Figure 2 As shown, the first drive roller 6 is provided with multiple rows of grippers 61 and gripper pads 62 corresponding to each row of grippers. The height of each row of grippers is lower than the surface of the first drive roller 6. Specifically, the top of each row of grippers is 2mm lower than the surface of the first drive roller 6.
[0021] Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the second drive roller structure. Please refer to it. Figure 3 As shown, the second drive roller 5 is provided with multiple rows of grippers 51 and gripper pads 52 corresponding to each row of grippers. The height of each row of grippers is higher than the surface of the second drive roller 5. Specifically, the top of each row of grippers is 2mm higher than the surface of the second drive roller 5.
[0022] Please refer to this again. Figure 1 As shown, the offset printing machine 12 includes: an impression cylinder 1, a plate cylinder 2, a rubber cylinder 3, and a front paper transfer cylinder 4.
[0023] The paper feed roller 4 of the offset printing press transfers paper to the impression cylinder 1. The plate cylinder 2 of the offset printing press transfers the ink and water from the wetting unit and the ink supply unit to the blanket of the rubber cylinder 3 of the offset printing press through the wet plate roller and the ink roller. The grippers on the impression cylinder 1 of the offset printing press hold the paper transferred from the paper feed roller 4, and the ink and water are printed onto the surface of the paper through the blanket of the rubber cylinder 3.
[0024] The single gravure printing press 13 includes: a gravure paper feed roller 7, a gravure impression roller 8, a gravure roller electric pressure adjustment mechanism 9, and a gravure roller take-up roller 10; the gravure paper feed roller 7 receives paper from the offset printing press and conveys the paper to the gravure impression roller 8 for printing, and the gravure roller take-up roller 10 conveys the printed paper to the take-up machine 14 through the conveying mechanism; the gravure roller electric pressure adjustment mechanism 9 monitors and adjusts the pressure between each roller in real time.
[0025] Specifically, please refer to Figure 4 As shown, Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of the electric pressure adjustment mechanism for the gravure cylinder of a single gravure printing press. A toothed block 92 is fixed on the eccentric sleeve 91 of the electric pressure adjustment mechanism 9. The rotation of the toothed block 92 causes the eccentric sleeve 91 to rotate at a certain angle, ensuring the printing pressure between the electric pressure adjustment mechanism 9 and the printing cylinder 8 of the gravure printing press. The rotation of the toothed block 92 is driven by the rotation of the meshing gear shaft 93; the rotation of the gear shaft 93 is accomplished by the up-and-down movement of the meshing rack 94; the up-and-down movement of the rack 94 is accomplished by the push of the cylinder rod 95 mounted on the rack 94; the cylinder seat 96 is mounted on the middle part of the swing rod 97, one end of which is sleeved on a support shaft fixed to the wall panel, and the other end of the swing rod 97 is connected to a linear motor 98 with a potentiometer. The other end of the linear motor 98 is connected to the support fixed to the wall panel.
[0026] The linear motor 98 with potentiometer is controlled by the operation panel to move linearly, and the rotation angle of the rocker arm 97 is adjusted, which drives the cylinder 99 and the rack 94 to move up and down, thereby driving the gear shaft 93 that meshes with the rack 94 to rotate, thereby driving the gear block 92 that meshes with the gear shaft 93 to rotate, thus driving the eccentric sleeve 91 to rotate.
[0027] Because the rotation angle of the eccentric sleeve 91 during pressure adjustment is less than 1.5 degrees, and the arc length traversed in the radial direction is less than 2.5 mm, the ratio to the radius is very small. Therefore, the arc length is approximately a straight line. Thus, a linear potentiometer from a linear motor is directly used to monitor the straight-line distance traversed by the outer diameter of the eccentric sleeve 91. After detecting the rotational change of the eccentric sleeve 91, the potentiometer converts the change into the corresponding value of the center distance of the gravure printing press's impression cylinder 8, which is then displayed on the screen. Since the change of the eccentric sleeve 91 is directly monitored, without any other intermediate errors, the monitored value accurately reflects the change in the center distance of the gravure printing press's impression cylinder 8, i.e., the pressure between the cylinders.
[0028] Please refer to this. Figure 2 and Figure 3The offset printing press unit's impression cylinder 1 is provided with multiple rows of grippers and gripper pads corresponding to each row of grippers. The height of each row of gripper pads is lower than the surface of the offset printing press unit's impression cylinder 1, that is, the top of each row of gripper pads is lower than the surface of the offset printing press unit's impression cylinder 1. The offset printing press unit's front paper transfer cylinder 4 is provided with multiple rows of grippers and gripper pads corresponding to each row of grippers. The height of each row of gripper pads is higher than the surface of the offset printing press unit's front paper transfer cylinder 4, that is, the top of each row of gripper pads is higher than the surface of the offset printing press unit's front paper transfer cylinder 4.
[0029] The gravure printing press impression cylinder 8 is provided with multiple rows of grippers and gripper pads corresponding to each row of grippers. The height of each row of gripper pads is lower than the surface of the gravure printing press impression cylinder 8, that is, the top of each row of gripper pads is lower than the surface of the gravure printing press impression cylinder 8. The gravure printing press paper transfer cylinder 7 is provided with multiple rows of grippers and gripper pads corresponding to each row of grippers. The height of each row of gripper pads is higher than the surface of the gravure printing press paper transfer cylinder 7, that is, the top of each row of gripper pads is higher than the surface of the gravure printing press paper transfer cylinder 7.
[0030] This invention enables the connection and linkage between offset printing and gravure printing, thereby reducing the transfer process of printed materials, reducing waste caused by paper deformation, realizing continuous operation of offset printing and gravure printing, and saving labor.
[0031] It should be noted that the gravure printing machine of this utility model can not only be combined with offset printing machines. Based on the technology disclosed in this utility model, those skilled in the art can also expand it to include more functional printing machines, such as laser printers, inkjet printers, flatbed inspection machines, cold foil stamping machines, etc.
