Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of printing technology, specifically relating to a multi-color variable pattern printing device for eggshells. Background Technology

[0002] Printing brand logos, slogans, or unique designs on the surface of eggs can serve as "mobile advertising," enhancing brand exposure. For example, chain farms or high-end egg companies can use customized designs to help consumers quickly remember their brand, differentiating themselves from ordinary bulk eggs and creating a differentiated competitive advantage.

[0003] Printing production date, shelf life, place of origin, nutritional information, etc., to replace traditional labels not only saves packaging costs but also presents information more intuitively, enhancing consumers' trust in the product.

[0004] Existing printing equipment generally only allows for monochrome printing and has a slow printing speed, often only able to print a single egg, which is not conducive to practical use. Utility Model Content

[0023] To make the objectives and advantages of this utility model clearer, the following detailed description is provided in conjunction with embodiments. It should be understood that the following text is merely used to describe one or more specific embodiments of this utility model and does not strictly limit the scope of protection specifically claimed by this utility model.

[0024] like Figures 1-5As shown, an eggshell multicolor variable pattern printing device includes four columns 1, with a frame 3 fixedly connected to the top of each column 1. Reinforcing beams 2 are fixedly connected between the columns 1. A conveyor belt 4 is rotatably connected to the inner side of the frame 3. A printing device body 5 is mounted on the top of the frame 3. Multiple nozzles 16 are installed inside the printing device body 5. A transmission component and a positioning component are provided on the top of the frame 3 near the rear side.

[0025] Among them, the main model of the printing device is FM-E6S;

[0026] Control system: Quad-core CPU, 7-inch high-definition capacitive touchscreen;

[0027] Supported voice: Chinese, English (over 40 foreign languages ​​can be customized);

[0028] Number of nozzles: 6;

[0029] Printing methods: automatic printing, on-demand printing, printhead can be turned off or on;

[0030] Printed letter height: 12.7mm;

[0031] Number of printing lines: 1-6 lines;

[0032] Printing accuracy: 600DPI;

[0033] Printing capacity: 50,000 pieces per hour;

[0034] Information editing: It can edit Chinese, English, numbers, symbols, etc., and can flip, rotate, and zoom information.

[0035] Graphic function: Images can be directly imported from a USB flash drive for printing;

[0036] Barcode function: Can print barcodes and QR codes;

[0037] Time jump count: It can automatically jump the year, month, day and time, and update the printing time in real time every day;

[0038] Automatic counting: It has an automatic counting function that can automatically calculate the printing capacity for the day;

[0039] Printhead detection: One-click automatic printhead detection and printing test;

[0040] Nozzle raising and lowering: The nozzle height can be automatically raised and lowered by pressing the raising and lowering button;

[0041] Nozzle buffer: Each nozzle is equipped with a buffer spring to ensure that the egg is not impacted when passing through;

[0042] Operating temperature: -15-45℃;

[0043] Total power consumption: less than 2000W;

[0044] Dimensions: 2000mm × 600mm × 1050mm;

[0045] Weight: 50kg;

[0046] All the bottom ends of the columns 1 are fixedly connected with casters 6. Among them, the casters 6 are lockable casters, which can be locked after moving to a suitable position to ensure stability; foot cups can also be installed near the casters 6 to further increase stability.

[0047] The eggs are printed as a whole tray, e.g., 5 columns * 6 rows, 30 eggs. Usually, the pattern or data is identical for all 30 eggs, with no variation.

[0048] This patent allows for the preservation of changing data or patterns for each egg. It features at least six four-color printheads in the printing direction. Each printhead continuously changes its data or pattern as it prints different eggs. A trigger sensor observes an egg, sending data or a pattern each time, resulting in a single printout and ensuring each egg has a unique effect.

[0049] A limit plate 7 is fixedly connected to the end of the frame 3 away from the transmission components.

[0050] like Figure 1 As shown, the left side of the conveyor belt 4 is the input end, and the side of the limiting plate 7 is the output end. When the printed egg moves to the position of the limiting plate 7 along the conveyor belt 4, the limiting plate 7 can block and limit it, making it easy to take out and preventing it from falling.

[0051] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the transmission assembly includes a mounting plate 8 fixedly connected to the top surface of the frame 3, a support plate 9 fixedly connected to the side wall of the mounting plate 8, a motor 10 fixedly connected to the rear side wall of the support plate 9, and a transmission wheel 11 fixedly connected to the output end of the motor 10 through the support plate 9. The transmission wheel 11 abuts against the surface of the conveyor belt 4.

[0052] An infrared sensor 12 is installed on the side wall of the support plate 9. The infrared sensor 12 is used to determine whether there is an egg tray on the conveyor belt 4 and to send an identification signal.

[0053] Specifically, a rubber ring is provided on the outer ring of the drive wheel 11. The rubber ring can increase the friction between the drive wheel 11 and the conveyor belt 4. When the motor 10 drives the drive wheel 11 to rotate, the friction can drive the conveyor belt 4 to rotate, thereby achieving the purpose of conveying. This type of transmission has a simple structure and is suitable for conveying lightweight materials.

[0054] like Figure 2 and Figure 4As shown, the positioning assembly includes two connecting plates 13 fixedly connected to the top surface of the frame 3. A positioning plate 15 is provided on the side of the connecting plate 13 near the conveyor belt 4. Bolts 14 connect the positioning plate 15 and the connecting plate 13.

[0055] The positioning component can be used to install the positioning plate 15, and the extension position of the positioning plate 15 can be adjusted by the bolt 14. When placing the egg carton, the egg carton needs to be placed against the positioning plate 15 to achieve positioning. During the movement with the conveyor belt 4, it can effectively maintain a suitable position.

[0056] like Figure 2 As shown, a controller 16 is installed on the side wall of the frame 3. The controller 16 is a mature existing technology and is used to control the start and stop of the motor 10 or the power supply of the main body 5 of the printing equipment, which will not be described in detail in this solution.

[0057] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: First, select the printing information on the main body 5 of the printing device according to the printing requirements. Then, place the egg in the egg tray, place it on the conveyor belt 4, and position it against the positioning plate 15. Then, start the motor 10 to drive the transmission wheel 11 to rotate. The transmission wheel 11 uses the friction between itself and the conveyor belt 4 to drive the conveyor belt 4 to move, thereby transporting the egg. When the egg is transported to the bottom of the main body 5 of the printing device, the egg is printed using visual scanning. After printing is completed, the egg is transported to the side of the limiting plate 7 by the conveyor belt 4 for removal.

[0058] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various improvements and modifications without departing from the principle of this utility model, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the scope of protection of this utility model. Structures, devices, and operating methods not specifically described or explained in this utility model, unless otherwise specified or limited, shall be implemented using conventional methods in the field.
