Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of printing equipment technology, and in particular to a pad printing multicolor printing machine. Background Technology

[0002] A CNC pad printing machine is a printing device suitable for plastics, toys, glass, metals, ceramics, electronics, IC packaging, etc. Pad printing is an indirect, concave pad printing technology that has become a major method for printing and decorating various object surfaces. Typically, the dimensions of the objects to be pad printed vary, and the positions of the markings will also differ, requiring adjustment via the adjustment mechanism on the pad printing machine.

[0003] Most pad printing machines on the market only have X-axis and Y-axis adjustment functions. Their worktable positions are fixed, printing accuracy is unstable, and they cannot adapt to products of different sizes. Moreover, most of these pad printing machines use cylinders to drive a single printing head to transfer ink from a steel plate to the product to be printed. However, a single printing head can only perform single-color printing. When printing two or more different color patterns, it is necessary to produce them in separate processes, which increases production and processing costs and reduces work efficiency.

[0004] Therefore, how to provide a pad printing multicolor printing machine is a problem that urgently needs to be solved by those skilled in the art. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a pad printing multicolor printing machine to solve the above-mentioned technical problems.

The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the invention. The term "and / or" as used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.

[0027] like Figure 1 As shown, a pad printing multicolor printing machine includes a base 1, a main body 2, a Y-axis moving structure 3, an ink tray printing steel plate 4, a printing worktable 5, and a Z-axis moving structure 6. The main body 2 is mounted on the base 1. The Y-axis moving structure 3, the ink tray printing steel plate 4, and the printing worktable 5 are located on one side of the main body 2. The ink tray printing steel plate 4 is located between the Y-axis moving structure 3 and the printing worktable 5. The printing worktable 5 is movably connected to the main body 2. The Y-axis moving structure 3 is provided with at least two or more ink head seats 7. The upper end of the Z-axis moving structure 6 is connected to the printing worktable 5, and the lower end of the Z-axis moving structure 6 is connected to the base 1. An X-axis moving structure 8 is mounted on the printing worktable 5, and a workpiece clamp 9 is provided on the X-axis moving structure 8.

[0028] like Figure 2 As shown, the glue head holder 7 includes a printing glue head 10 and a glue head drive component 11. The upper end of the glue head drive component 11 is connected to the Y-axis moving structure 3, and the output end of the glue head drive component 11 is connected to the printing glue head 10. The glue head drive component 11 can drive the printing glue head 10 to move up and down along the Z-axis. In this embodiment, the glue head drive component 11 can be a cylinder.

[0029] It should be noted that this utility model has at least two or more independently controlled printing head seats 7, and the number of printing printing heads 10 is at least two or more. That is, the machine adopts a design of multiple printing printing heads 10. When pad printing multiple sets of patterns or several patterns with different colors, it can be completed on the same machine, which saves time and effort, reduces production costs, and is highly practical.

[0030] like Figure 2 As shown, the Y-axis moving structure 3 includes a Y-axis moving guide rail 12, a Y-axis rolling screw 13, and a Y-axis drive component (not shown). The Y-axis drive component is mounted on the main body 2, and its output end is connected to the Y-axis rolling screw 13 via a coupling. The Y-axis moving guide rail 12 is located on both sides of the Y-axis rolling screw 13. Both the Y-axis rolling screw 13 and the Y-axis drive component are common structures.

[0031] like Figure 2As shown, the Y-axis moving structure 3 also includes a moving seat 14. The upper end of the rubber head drive component 11 is connected to the moving seat 14. The moving seat 14 is mounted on the Y-axis moving guide rail 12 and the Y-axis rolling screw 13.

[0032] It should be noted that there are two Y-axis moving guide rails 12, which are arranged parallel to each other to support and guide the movement of the moving seat 14 and provide stable guidance, thereby realizing the linear translation of the moving seat 14, improving the stability of the movement of the moving seat 14, and thus improving the printing accuracy of the printing head 10.

[0033] It should be further explained that the Y-axis drive component in this embodiment can be a motor. When the Y-axis rolling screw 13 rotates, the moving seat 14 will slide on the thread on the Y-axis rolling screw 13, thereby achieving linear motion.

[0034] In this embodiment, the Y-axis moving structure 3 is a common lead screw translation mechanism, which is a motion mechanism used to transmit linear motion. Therefore, its specific structure and principle will not be described in detail here.

[0035] like Figure 2 As shown, the movable seat 14 is provided with a guide hole and a first threaded hole. One end of the Y-axis moving guide rail 12 can move in the guide hole, and one end of the Y-axis rolling screw 13 can move in the first threaded hole. The movable seat 14 is threadedly connected to the Y-axis rolling screw 13 through the first threaded hole. The Y-axis driving component drives the Y-axis rolling screw 13 to rotate, thereby driving the movable seat 14 to move back and forth along the Y-axis direction.

[0036] It should be noted that when the Y-axis drive unit drives the Y-axis rolling screw 13 to rotate, the Y-axis rolling screw 13 rotates in place and its length remains unchanged. It is connected to the rolling screw by the threaded connection of the movable seat 14, so that the movable seat 14 moves back and forth along the rolling screw in the Y-axis direction. At the same time, the movable seat 14 slides synchronously along the movable guide rail, which improves the stability of the movement.

[0037] like Figure 3 As shown, the X-axis moving structure 8 includes an X-axis slider 15, an X-axis ball screw 16, and an X-axis drive (not shown). The X-axis drive is mounted on the printing worktable 5. The output end of the X-axis drive is connected to the X-axis ball screw 16 via a coupling. The X-axis slider 15 is sleeved on the X-axis ball screw 16, and the upper end of the X-axis slider 15 is connected to the workpiece fixing component. In this embodiment, the X-axis drive can be a motor.

[0038] It should be noted that the X-axis moving structure 8 in this embodiment may also include a synchronous drag chain (not shown in the figure), one end of which is connected to the X-axis slider 15, and the other end of which is connected to the printing worktable 5, thereby improving the stability of the movement.

[0039] like Figure 3 As shown, the lower end of the X-axis slider 15 is provided with a sliding part 17, and the sliding part 17 is provided with a second threaded hole. The X-axis slider 15 is threadedly connected to the X-axis rolling screw 16 through the second threaded hole. When the X-axis rolling screw 16 rotates, the X-axis slider 15 will slide on the thread on the X-axis rolling screw 16, thereby realizing linear motion.

[0040] In this embodiment, the X-axis moving structure 8 is a common lead screw translation mechanism, which is a motion mechanism used to transmit linear motion. Therefore, its specific structure and principle will not be described in detail here.

[0041] like Figure 2 As shown, the printing worktable 5 is provided with a sliding guide seat 18, and the sliding guide seat 18 is provided with a sliding guide groove 19. The X-axis slider 15 can slide on the sliding guide seat 18, and the sliding part 17 and the X-axis rolling screw 16 of the X-axis slider 15 are both located in the sliding guide groove 19.

[0042] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the workpiece fixture 9 includes a rotary drive component 20 and a positioning fixture 21. The rotary drive component 20 is mounted on the X-axis slider 15, and its output end is connected to the positioning fixture 21 via a coupling. The positioning fixture 21 is located below the printing head 10. The principle and specific structure of the rotary drive component 20 driving the rotary drive component 20 are conventional technologies, and therefore will not be described in detail here. In this embodiment, the rotary drive component 20 can be a motor.

[0043] It should be noted that when printing products, the products are placed on the positioning fixture 21, and the rotary drive component 20 can drive the products to rotate for printing, which has high working efficiency, good overall stability, and high printing accuracy.

[0044] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the Z-axis moving structure 6 includes a lifting screw 22, a guide sleeve 23, and a lifting drive (not shown). The guide sleeve 23 is mounted on the base 1. The upper end of the lifting screw 22 passes through the guide sleeve 23 and is connected to the printing worktable 5. The output end of the lifting drive is connected to the lifting screw 22 via a coupling. The lifting drive moves the lifting screw 22 up and down, thereby driving the printing worktable 5 to move up and down along the main body 2. In this embodiment, the lifting drive can be a motor. The printing worktable 5 may have a threaded hole, and the upper end of the lifting screw 22 can be tightly connected to the printing worktable 5 by threaded fastening.

[0045] It should be noted that when the lifting drive component drives the lifting screw 22 to rotate, the lifting screw 22 moves up and down. The lifting screw 22 moves up and down, which in turn drives the printing worktable 5 to move up and down, thereby adjusting the height of the printing worktable 5, further improving the printing accuracy, and adapting to products of different sizes. It is flexible, convenient and highly practical.

[0046] In this embodiment, the Z-axis moving structure 6 is a common lead screw lifting mechanism, which is a motion mechanism used to transmit linear motion. Therefore, its specific structure and principle will not be described in detail here.

[0047] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the ink tray printing steel plate 4 has at least two or more grooves 24. The main function of the grooves 24 is to hold the ink and ensure that the ink can be evenly applied to the printing plate of the printing head 10.

[0048] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model in any way. Those skilled in the art can readily implement this utility model based on the accompanying drawings and the above description. However, any modifications, alterations, or equivalent variations made by those skilled in the art without departing from the scope of the utility model's technical solution, utilizing the disclosed technical content, are considered equivalent embodiments of this utility model. Furthermore, any equivalent changes, alterations, or variations made to the above embodiments based on the essential technology of this utility model are still within the protection scope of this utility model's technical solution.
