The controller is fixedly installed on the right end of the device body, the top of the support leg is fixedly connected to the bottom of the device body, the top of the inkjet printer is fixedly connected to the top of the inner wall of the device body, and the top of the coating device is fixedly connected to the top of the inner wall of the device body.

[0004] However, it was found during the use of the equipment that the switching between different colors was not very convenient, which affected the performance. Utility Model Content

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides a jigsaw puzzle multicolor printing device that improves the convenience of color switching, avoids color mixing and cross-contamination within a single inkjet mechanism, reduces maintenance costs, and improves the convenience of batch processing.

[0006] This utility model discloses a multi-color printing device for jigsaw puzzles, including a base and a conveyor belt, with the conveyor belt mounted on the base; it also includes a support device, a limiting device, a supply device, a support shaft, a bracket, and multiple inkjet mechanisms. The support shaft is mounted on the base via the support device, which is used to drive the support shaft to move up, down, and rotate. The bracket is mounted on the outer wall of the support shaft. The multiple inkjet mechanisms are all mounted on the bracket. The limiting device is located on the conveyor belt and is used to limit the movement of the jigsaw puzzle paperboard during transport. The supply device is connected to the multiple inkjet mechanisms and is used to supply different colors of paint to the inkjet mechanisms respectively. The puzzle board to be printed with colors is placed on a conveyor belt. After the conveyor belt rotates, it transports the board to the area below the inkjet unit. By aligning one set of inkjet units directly downwards, one set of inkjet units can spray and print one color onto the board. When other colors need to be printed on the board, the support device drives the support shaft to rotate and adjust, so that the support shaft drives the other inkjet units to face directly downwards. This facilitates the spraying and printing of different colors by other inkjet units, improves the convenience of color switching, avoids color mixing and cross-contamination within a single inkjet unit, reduces maintenance costs, and improves the convenience of batch processing.

[0007] Preferably, the supply device includes multiple sets of pigment storage tanks, a pressure tank, a delivery pipe, multiple sets of hoses, and a booster pump. The multiple sets of pigment storage tanks are connected to multiple sets of inkjet units through multiple sets of hoses. The input end of the delivery pipe is connected to the pressure tank, and the output end of the delivery pipe is connected to the three sets of pigment storage tanks. The output end of the booster pump is connected to the pressure tank, and control valves are installed on the multiple sets of hoses. The booster pump compresses and stores air in the pressure tank, and delivers the compressed air to the multiple sets of pigment storage tanks through the delivery pipe, thereby facilitating the expulsion of paint from the pigment storage tanks. The expelled paint of different colors is delivered to the multiple sets of inkjet units through multiple sets of hoses, improving the convenience of supplying paint to the multiple sets of inkjet units.

[0008] Preferably, the limiting device includes two sets of guide plates, multiple sets of guide columns, and multiple sets of first cylinders. The two sets of guide plates are slidably installed on both sides of the top of the conveyor belt through the multiple sets of guide columns. The multiple sets of first cylinders are installed on the outer wall of the conveyor belt, and the moving ends of the multiple sets of first cylinders are connected to the outer walls of the two sets of guide plates. By controlling the extension and retraction adjustment of the moving ends of the two sets of first cylinders, the two sets of guide plates can move in opposite directions, thereby improving the convenience of centering and limiting the two sets of guide plates when conveying paperboard.

[0009] Preferably, the support device includes a second cylinder, a base, and a motor. The second cylinder is mounted on the top of the base, the base is mounted on the moving end of the second cylinder, the support shaft is rotatably mounted on the base, and the motor is mounted on the base. The output end of the motor is connected to the support shaft. The motor drives the support shaft to rotate, which in turn drives multiple sets of inkjet mechanisms to move and adjust their positions. The second cylinder drives the base to move up and down, making it easier to bring the inkjet mechanism closer to the paperboard and improving ease of use.

[0010] Preferably, it also includes a frame and a hot air blower. The frame is mounted on the base, and the hot air blower is mounted on the frame. After the cardboard is coated, hot air is blown onto the cardboard by the hot air blower to improve the convenience of post-printing drying.

[0011] Preferably, the outer wall of the guide post is provided with a size scale; this improves the ease of adjustment for limiting and conveying cardboard of different widths.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: The puzzle cardboard to be printed with colors is placed on the conveyor belt. After the conveyor belt rotates, it transports the cardboard to the area below the inkjet mechanism. By aligning one set of inkjet mechanisms directly downwards, one set of inkjet mechanisms can spray and print one color onto the cardboard. When other colors need to be printed on the cardboard, the support device drives the support shaft to rotate and adjust, so that the support shaft drives the other inkjet mechanisms to face directly downwards. This facilitates the spraying and printing of different colors by other inkjet mechanisms, improves the convenience of color switching, avoids the situation of color mixing and cross-contamination in a single inkjet mechanism, reduces maintenance costs, and improves the convenience of batch processing.
