Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field, and in particular to a flattening device for offline detection of film printing quality. Background Technology

[0002] Film printing is a processing technique that prints images and text on the surface of flexible materials such as plastic films. It is widely used in packaging, labeling, decoration, electronics, agriculture, and other fields. Offline quality inspection of film printing refers to the systematic and standardized analysis and evaluation of key quality indicators in a separate testing environment (laboratory or dedicated testing area) after the printing process is completed, using specific instruments and methods. Compared to online inspection, offline inspection is typically more thorough, more accurate, and better simulates actual usage conditions, making it a crucial step in ensuring that the final product quality meets standards and customer requirements.

[0003] Some existing offline film printing quality inspection devices use suction plates made of rigid metal materials such as steel or aluminum plates with drilled holes. Due to the thinness of the film, it cannot be completely flattened when placed on the suction plate, and wrinkles will occur. If flattening is done by wiping with water and scraping with a scraper, water stains will remain between the product and the suction plate, affecting the film imaging and inspection results, and causing false alarms. In addition, the holes in the suction plate, i.e., the suction holes, will create hole imaging on transparent products, affecting the product's inspection quality. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of existing offline film printing quality inspection devices, which use suction plates made of rigid metal materials such as steel or aluminum plates with drilled holes. Because the film is thin, it cannot be completely flattened when placed on the suction plate, resulting in wrinkles. If flattening is done by wiping with water and scraping with a scraper, water stains will remain between the product and the suction plate, affecting the film imaging and inspection results, leading to false alarms. Furthermore, the holes in the suction plate, i.e., the suction holes, can create hole imaging on transparent products, affecting the product inspection quality. This invention provides a flattening device for offline film printing quality inspection.

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution: a flattening device for offline detection of film printing quality, including a detection platform, a negative pressure chamber is provided inside the detection platform, a flattening component is installed on the upper part of the negative pressure chamber, the flattening component is used to flatten the film, and the flattening component includes a negative pressure suction plate, a middle light-shielding layer and an upper support layer from bottom to top.

[0006] The negative pressure suction plate is set on the upper surface of the testing platform. The negative pressure suction plate has equally spaced suction holes. The multiple sets of equally spaced suction holes can evenly distribute the adsorption force and avoid uneven local stress on the film, which can cause wrinkles. The middle light-shielding layer is made of dark flexible material with a thickness of 1 mm to 3 mm and is breathable. The upper support layer is a high-mesh white nylon mesh.

[0007] The bottom of the testing platform is equipped with a negative pressure pipe that is connected to the negative pressure chamber. The end of the negative pressure pipe away from the negative pressure chamber is connected to an external vacuum source to form an adsorption force to fix the film.

[0008] By setting the central light-shielding layer to be a dark-colored flexible material with a thickness of 1 mm to 3 mm, the suction holes on the negative pressure suction plate are effectively blocked. It has good flexibility and breathability, and can effectively flatten the film. At the same time, the upper support layer is set to be a high-mesh white nylon mesh, which can eliminate the texture of the central light-shielding layer and thus improve the imaging quality. When the external vacuum source delivers negative pressure to the negative pressure chamber through the negative pressure pipe, the airflow acts on the film surface through the suction holes on the negative pressure suction plate, and firmly adsorbs it onto the flattening component.

[0009] A further technical solution is that the high-mesh white nylon mesh is woven from white fibers with a mesh count of 300 to 500.

[0010] A further technical solution is that the outer contours of the middle light-shielding layer and the upper support layer are provided with frame clamps. The frame clamps are rectangular frame structures and are used to fix the outer contours of the middle light-shielding layer and the upper support layer. The frame clamps fix the outer contours of the middle light-shielding layer and the upper support layer, making the installation and replacement of the flattening components more convenient.

[0011] A further technical solution is to install a pressure regulating valve on the negative pressure pipeline. The pressure regulating valve is used to adjust the negative pressure in the negative pressure pipeline. The pressure regulating valve further optimizes the adsorption effect and ensures that the membrane remains flat during the detection process.

[0012] A further technical solution is to use a breathable, dark-colored, flexible material for the central light-blocking layer.

[0013] This invention has the following advantages: By combining a negative pressure suction plate, a central light-shielding layer, and an upper support layer, it solves the problems of poor flattening effect and imaging interference caused by the simple structure of traditional suction plates. The negative pressure suction plate provides stable support while ensuring unobstructed airflow. The central light-shielding layer effectively blocks the suction holes, preventing hole imaging. The upper support layer 6 is made of high-mesh white nylon mesh, which eliminates the texture imaging of the central light-shielding layer, thereby improving image quality. The frame clamps fix the outer contours of the central light-shielding layer and the upper support layer, making the installation and replacement of the flattening assembly more convenient. Furthermore, the air pressure regulating valve on the negative pressure pipeline further optimizes the adsorption effect, ensuring that the film remains flat throughout the testing process.

[0023] like Figures 1-2 As shown, a flattening device for offline detection of film printing quality includes a detection platform 1, a negative pressure chamber 2 is provided inside the detection platform 1, and a flattening component is installed on the upper part of the negative pressure chamber 2. The flattening component is used to flatten the film. The flattening component includes a negative pressure suction plate 3, a middle light-shielding layer 5 and an upper support layer 6 from bottom to top.

[0024] The negative pressure suction plate 3 is set on the upper surface of the detection platform 1. The negative pressure suction plate 3 has equally spaced suction holes 4. The multiple sets of equally spaced suction holes 4 can evenly distribute the adsorption force and avoid uneven local stress on the film, which can cause wrinkles. The middle light-shielding layer 5 is made of dark flexible material with a thickness of 1 mm to 3 mm and is breathable. The upper support layer 6 is a high-mesh white nylon mesh.

[0025] The bottom of the testing platform 1 is equipped with a negative pressure pipe 7 that is connected to the negative pressure chamber 2.
