Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electro-engraving machine technology, specifically to a dustproof component for an electro-engraving machine used in plate making production. Background Technology
[0002] Plate making, a crucial step in the printing process, is fundamentally about accurately replicating the original artwork into a printing plate. Throughout the long history of printing technology, plate making techniques have continuously evolved. Early on, movable type was used, carefully arranging individual characters to form a type plate. Later, paper molds were created using these type plates, which were then cast to produce the printing plate. With the rise of optical and electronic technologies, photolithography and electronic color separation plate making emerged. These technologies allow images to be converted into negatives, which can then be used to create various types of printing plates, such as relief, planographic, and gravure, depending on the printing requirements. In the modern flexible packaging gravure printing field, electro-engraving plate making stands out due to its high precision and quality, becoming the most widely used method for creating sophisticated plates, with electro-engraved gravure plates dominating the industry.
[0003] However, traditional plate-making processes have some undeniable drawbacks. In practice, due to operator error, workpieces are frequently accidentally touched, potentially damaging the workpiece itself and leaving behind dust. These seemingly tiny dust particles can have a serious negative impact on the plate-making process. On one hand, they adhere to the film obtained by the engraving machine, creating defects and affecting the quality of the printing plate. On the other hand, the presence of dust can interfere with the normal operation of laser radiation processing, causing deviations in energy transmission and focusing, ultimately resulting in a significantly compromised plate-making effect. Utility Model Content
[0004] To solve the above-mentioned problems, this utility model proposes a dustproof component for an electro-engraving machine used in plate making production, which is equipped with a closed dust removal component to avoid the negative impact of dust on the negative film.
[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution proposed by this utility model is: a dustproof component for an electro-engraving machine used in plate making production, comprising:
[0006] Two dustproof shells are arranged horizontally and slide on the electric engraving machine along the arrangement direction. A transparent observation plate is provided on one side of the two dustproof shells that are far apart from each other.
[0007] The dust removal mechanism includes a dust removal pipe and a dust suction head. The dust suction head is located inside the dustproof shell, and the dust removal pipe is fixedly installed on the dustproof shell, with one end extending into the inside of the dustproof shell and connected to the dust suction head.
[0008] The drive mechanism is fixed on the electric engraving machine and located on one side of the dust cover. It includes a double-ended screw and a nut. The double-ended screw is fixed on the electric engraving machine by a fixing frame and is driven by a motor fixed on one side of the fixing frame. The nut is threaded on the double-ended screw and there are two symmetrically arranged nuts. The two nuts are fixedly connected to the two dust covers respectively.
[0009] The sealing component includes a rubber strip, which is fixedly disposed at the lower end of the dustproof shell on the side away from each other and where it is in contact with the electro-engraving machine.
[0010] Furthermore, the dustproof shell is in the shape of a three-fold plate, with arc-shaped plates on both sides and a flat plate in the middle, and the dust removal pipe is fixedly mounted on the flat plate.
[0011] Furthermore, the dustproof shell is fixedly provided with slide bars at both ends, and the electro-engraving machine is provided with slide grooves that match the slide bars.
[0012] Furthermore, the transparent observation plate is a tempered glass plate.
[0013] Furthermore, the dust removal pipe is a corrugated pipe.
[0014] Furthermore, the rubber strip is an arc-shaped strip with its lower end bent away from the dust cover.
[0015] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of this utility model are as follows: two horizontally arranged and slidable dustproof shells can be combined to form a closed space. A rubber strip is provided at the contact point between the dustproof shell and the electro-engraving machine. The rubber strip is an arc-shaped strip with the lower end bent away from the dustproof shell, which can better fit the surface of the electro-engraving machine and greatly enhance the sealing performance. It physically prevents external dust from entering the working area of the electro-engraving machine and avoids dust falling on the film and affecting the plate making quality.
[0016] The dust removal mechanism features a suction head located inside the dust cover, with the dust removal pipe connected to it. This allows for easy connection to external dust removal equipment to remove dust from inside the dust cover. Furthermore, the dust removal pipe is corrugated, enabling it to bend flexibly as the dust cover slides, ensuring that the suction function remains unaffected. This further reduces internal dust accumulation and minimizes the possibility of dust contacting the substrate. Attached Figure Description

[0023] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0024] Combined with appendix Figure 1 Appendix Figure 5 A dustproof component for an electro-engraving machine used in plate making includes: a dustproof shell 1, wherein the dustproof shell 1 is a three-fold plate with arc-shaped plates on both sides and a flat plate in the middle, which not only ensures the stability of the structure, but also better fits the working area of the electro-engraving machine.
[0025] Combined with appendix Figure 1 Appendix Figure 4 Two dustproof shells 1 are arranged horizontally and slidably mounted on the electric engraving machine along the arrangement direction. Slide strips are fixed at both ends of the dustproof shells 1. The electric engraving machine is provided with slide grooves 10 that match the slide strips, so that the dustproof shells 1 can slide stably along the slide grooves 10, ensuring that there will be no deviation during the sliding process and ensuring the effective dust protection of the dustproof components.
[0026] Combined with appendix Figure 1 Appendix Figure 3 Two dustproof shells 1 are provided with transparent observation plates 2 on opposite sides. The transparent observation plates 2 are made of tempered glass, which has high strength and good transparency. During use, they can prevent damage and facilitate operators to observe the working conditions inside the electric engraving machine at any time.
[0027] Combined with appendix Figure 5 The dust removal mechanism includes a dust removal pipe 3 and a suction head 4. The suction head 4 is located inside the dustproof housing 1, and the dust removal pipe 3 is fixedly mounted on the dustproof housing 1, with one end extending into the inside of the dustproof housing 1 and connecting to the suction head 4. The dust removal pipe 3 is fixedly mounted on a flat plate for easy installation and connection. The dust removal pipe 3 is a corrugated pipe, which is flexible and can change shape flexibly when the dustproof housing 1 slides, ensuring that the connection between the suction head 4 and the external vacuuming equipment is not affected, and that the dust removal function continues to be effective.
[0028] Combined with appendix Figure 1 Appendix Figure 2The drive mechanism, fixedly mounted on the electro-engraving machine and located on one side of the dust cover 1, includes a double-ended screw 5 and a nut 6. The double-ended screw 5 is fixedly mounted on the electro-engraving machine via a fixing frame 7 and is driven by a motor 8 fixedly mounted on one side of the fixing frame 7. The nut 6 is threadedly connected to the double-ended screw 5 and there are two symmetrically arranged nuts. The two nuts 6 are respectively fixedly connected to the two dust covers 1. The motor 8 drives the double-ended screw 5 to rotate, so that the two nuts 6 can synchronously drive the two dust covers 1 to move stably in opposite directions, thereby achieving rapid opening and closing, and precise and convenient operation.
[0029] Combined with appendix Figure 1 Appendix Figure 2 The sealing component includes a rubber strip 9, which is fixedly installed at the lower end of the dustproof shell 1 on the side away from the surface of the dustproof shell 1 where it contacts the electro-engraving machine. The rubber strip 9 is an arc-shaped strip with its lower end bent away from the dustproof shell 1, which allows the rubber strip 9 to better fit the surface of the electro-engraving machine, enhances the sealing performance, and effectively prevents dust from entering from the contact point between the dustproof shell 1 and the electro-engraving machine.
[0030] The specific implementation of this utility model is as follows: First, the dustproof component is installed on the electro-engraving machine. The sliding strips at both ends of the dustproof shell 1 are embedded into the matching sliding grooves 10 on the electro-engraving machine to ensure stable sliding along the arrangement direction. The transparent observation plate 2 on one side of the two dustproof shells 1 is far apart from each other, making it convenient for the operator to observe the internal situation. The motor 8 is connected to the external power supply, and the dust removal pipe 3 is connected to the external dust removal equipment.
[0031] The motor 8 is started, which drives the double-headed screw 5 to rotate, thereby driving the two nuts 6 to bring the two dust covers 1 closer together until they are pressed together to form a closed space. At this time, the rubber strip 9 of the sealing component is tightly fitted between the dust cover 1 and the engraving machine, further enhancing the sealing effect and effectively preventing dust from entering. The external vacuum cleaner is turned on regularly, and the dust on the inside of the dust cover 1 of the engraving machine is removed and cleaned through the dust removal pipe 3 and the vacuum head 4. The dust removal pipe 3 is a corrugated pipe, which can be flexibly adjusted when the dust cover 1 is moved.
[0032] If it is necessary to stop the machine for adjustment or to check specific parts of the engraving machine, the drive motor 8 rotates in the reverse direction. The motor 8, fixed on the engraving machine, drives the double-headed screw 5 to rotate. The nut 6, threadedly connected to the double-headed screw 5, causes the two dust covers 1 to slide along the slide groove 10 and move away from each other, exposing the required part. After the operation is completed, the drive mechanism is restarted to reset the dust covers 1 and continue to maintain a closed dustproof state. The entire process ensures that the engraving machine works in a relatively dust-free environment.
