Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of feeding devices, and more specifically, it relates to a feeding device for a thin paperboard printing machine. Background Technology
[0002] Modern printing presses generally consist of mechanisms for plate mounting, inking, printing, and paper feeding. Their working principle is as follows: first, the text and images to be printed are made into a printing plate, which is then mounted on the printing press. Ink is then applied manually or by the printing press to the areas on the printing plate containing the text and images, and the ink is directly or indirectly transferred to paper or other substrates, thus reproducing a printed product identical to the printing plate. The invention and development of printing presses have played a vital role in the dissemination of human civilization and culture. Screen printing machines are a type of printing press.
[0003] Existing screen printing machines typically use a feeding method where the operator holds the thin cardboard and places it on a conveyor belt at the bottom of the machine. The conveyor belt then transports the cardboard to the printing head for screen printing, which is difficult to reduce labor costs. Therefore, this paper studies and improves the existing structure and its shortcomings to provide a feeding device for a thin cardboard printing machine, aiming to achieve greater practical value. Utility Model Content
[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides a feeding device for a thin paperboard printing machine, which is achieved by the following specific technical means:
[0005] A feeding device for a thin paperboard printing machine includes a conveyor belt installed on one side of a screen printing machine. A mounting platform is installed on one side of the conveyor belt. A rotating cylinder is rotatably connected to the top side of the mounting platform. Multiple sets of connecting grooves are equidistantly arranged on the rotating cylinder. A slider is slidably connected to the inner side of each connecting groove. A rotating arm is fixedly installed on one side of each slider. A fixing plate is fixedly installed on the bottom side of one end of each rotating arm, corresponding to the conveyor belt. Multiple sets of pneumatic suction cups are symmetrically fixedly installed on the bottom side of each fixing plate. A material storage mechanism is installed on one side of the mounting platform, corresponding to the fixing plate.
[0006] Furthermore, a base is fixedly installed on the bottom side of the conveyor belt, and multiple sets of support legs are fixedly installed on the bottom side of the mounting platform. The bottom ends of the multiple sets of support legs are fixedly connected to the top side of the base by fasteners.
[0007] Furthermore, the storage mechanism includes a support frame that is fixedly connected to the top side of the base by fasteners, and a storage box is fixedly connected to the top of the support frame, with an opening at the top of the storage box.
[0008] Furthermore, an electric cylinder is fixedly installed on one side of the support frame, a lifting plate is slidably connected to the inner side of the storage box, and the output end of the electric cylinder passes through the bottom side of the storage box and is fixedly connected to the bottom side of the lifting plate.
[0009] Furthermore, a fixed column is coaxially installed on the inner side of the rotating cylinder. The bottom end of the fixed column is fixedly connected to the top side of the mounting platform. A guide groove is provided on the outer periphery of the fixed column. The guide groove is provided with a V-shaped groove on the side near the conveyor belt and the storage box. A guide rod that is slidably connected to the inner side of the guide groove is fixedly installed on one side of the slider.
[0010] Furthermore, a fixing block is fixedly installed on one side of the slider, and a sliding groove that is slidably connected to the fixing block is vertically provided on one side of the inner wall of the connecting groove.
[0011] Furthermore, a drive motor is fixedly installed on the bottom side of the mounting platform. The output end of the drive motor passes through the mounting platform and is fixedly installed with a drive wheel. A driven wheel is coaxially fixedly connected to the outer side of the rotating cylinder. The drive wheel and the driven wheel are connected by a synchronous belt drive.
[0012] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0013] 1. This utility model, through the cooperation of a drive motor, a driving wheel, and a driven wheel, can drive the rotating cylinder to rotate flexibly. Through the cooperation of the rotating cylinder, the connecting groove, and the slider, it can drive the rotating arm to rotate flexibly. Through the cooperation of the rotating arm, the fixed plate, and the pneumatic suction cup, it can stably adsorb and move the thin cardboard to the top side of the conveyor belt, avoiding the tedious operation of manually removing the thin cardboard and reducing the labor cost of the screen printing machine in the printing process.
[0014] 2. This utility model, through the cooperation of the fixed column, guide rod and guide groove, can realize the up and down movement of the rotating arm as the guide rod moves in the guide groove during the rotation of the rotating arm. This enables the rotating arm to move downward when it rotates to the storage box and the conveyor belt, so as to conveniently pick up and release the thin cardboard. This avoids the need to use other active drive equipment to drive the rotating arm to move up and down, and reduces the production cost of the product. Attached Figure Description

A rotating arm 5 is fixedly installed on one side of each slider 4. A fixing plate 6 is fixedly installed on the bottom side of one end of each rotating arm 5 corresponding to the conveyor belt 1. Multiple sets of pneumatic suction cups 7 are symmetrically fixedly installed on the bottom side of each fixing plate 6. A material storage mechanism is installed on one side of the mounting platform 2 corresponding to the fixing plate 6.
[0027] The conveyor belt 1 has a base 8 fixedly installed on its bottom side, and the mounting platform 2 has multiple sets of support legs 9 fixedly installed on its bottom side. The bottom ends of the multiple sets of support legs 9 are fixedly connected to the top side of the base 8 by fasteners, which can achieve stable support for the mounting platform 2.
[0028] The storage mechanism includes a support frame 10 fixedly connected to the top side of the base 8 by fasteners. A storage box 11 is fixedly connected to the top of the support frame 10. The top of the storage box 11 has an opening to facilitate the pneumatic suction cup 7 to pick up the thin cardboard in the storage box 11.
[0029] An electric cylinder 13 is fixedly installed on one side of the support frame 10, and a lifting plate 12 is slidably connected to the inner side of the storage box 11. The output end of the electric cylinder 13 passes through the bottom side of the storage box 11 and is fixedly connected to the bottom side of the lifting plate 12, which can realize the automatic lifting of the thin cardboard in the storage box 11.
[0030] The rotating cylinder 3 is coaxially mounted with a fixed column 16 on its inner side. The bottom end of the fixed column 16 is fixedly connected to the top side of the mounting platform 2.

The drive motor 14 is started to drive the rotating cylinder 3 to rotate, and the rotating cylinder 3 drives the rotating arm 5 to rotate. The rotating arm 5 moves up and down under the drive of the guide groove and guide rod 15. When the rotating arm 5 moves to the conveyor belt 1 and the storage box 11, it moves down under the drive of the V-shaped groove, and drives the fixed plate 6 and the pneumatic suction cup 7 to move down, so that the pneumatic suction cup 7 can pick up the thin paperboard and place the thin paperboard on the conveyor belt 1. As the thin paperboard is continuously picked up, the electric cylinder 13 is started to drive the thin paperboard to rise as a whole, so that the top surface of the thin paperboard is always kept at the height that the pneumatic suction cup 7 can pick up, thereby realizing continuous automatic feeding of the thin paperboard.
