[0025] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0026] Please see Figure 1-5 The present invention provides the following technical solution:

[0027] A printing device for printing patterns on the surface of a soccer ball for ball production and processing includes a housing 1. A fixing component 2 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the inner wall of the housing 1, and a printing component 3 is fixedly connected to the top of the inner wall of the housing 1. The printing component 3 includes a liquid storage tank 301. A track block 302 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the liquid storage tank 301, and an electric trolley 303 is movably connected to the surface of the track block 302. A movable arm 304 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the electric trolley 303, and a nozzle 305 is fixedly connected to the other end of the movable arm 304. An infusion hose 306 is fixedly connected to the top right side of the nozzle 305, and the other end of the infusion hose 306 extends into the interior of the liquid storage tank 301. An annular air jet plate 307 is fixedly connected to the surface of the nozzle 305, and an air delivery hose 308 is fixedly connected to the left side of the top of the annular air jet plate 307. The other end of the air delivery hose 308 extends to the left side of the housing 1 and is fixedly connected to a fan 309.

[0028] In this embodiment: the lifting motor 203 drives the threaded rod 202 to rotate, causing the slider 204 to move smoothly, and simultaneously driving the fixed cylinder 205 to rise and fall smoothly. The height of the pressing plate 208 can be adjusted according to the actual situation. At the same time, the cylinder 209 can drive the moving cylinder 206 and the pressing plate 208 to move smoothly, so that the pressing plate 208 contacts the surface of the soccer ball, completing the stable fixation of the soccer ball. With the help of the rotating motor 207, the pressing plate 208 can be rotated to realize the adjustment of the soccer ball angle, which is convenient for pattern printing and improves the ease of use of the fixing component 2. Then, under the action of the electric trolley 303, the movable arm 304 can be driven to move smoothly under the restriction of the track block 302, and simultaneously drive the print head 3 The 05 and the annular jet plate 307 move longitudinally, and with the angle adjustment function of the movable arm 304, the spray position can be flexibly adjusted. At the same time, the dye in the storage tank 301 flows smoothly into the print head 305 through the infusion hose 306, and is then accurately sprayed out through the print head 305 to complete the accurate generation of the pattern. This improves the ease of use of the printing component 3. Under the action of the fan 309, airflow can be generated and delivered to the annular jet plate 307 through the air infusion hose 308. With the jet head 6, an annular jet channel can be formed to ensure that the airflow blows smoothly on the printing area, accelerates the curing of the pattern, avoids ink smudging and peeling due to contact and friction, ensures the integrity of the pattern, and improves the printing effect of the soccer ball.

[0029] Specifically, such as Figure 5As shown, the fixing component 2 includes a U-shaped block 201. Threaded rods 202 are rotatably connected to both sides of the inner wall of the U-shaped block 201, and a lifting motor 203 is fixedly connected to the top of the threaded rods 202. Slider blocks 204 are threadedly connected to the surfaces of the two threaded rods 202, and a fixing cylinder 205 is fixedly connected to the opposite side of the two sliders 204. A movable cylinder 206 is slidably connected inside the two fixing cylinders 205, and a rotating motor 207 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the movable cylinder 206 away from the threaded rods 202. The output end of the rotating motor 207 extends to the outside of the movable cylinder 206 and is fixedly connected to a pressing plate 208. A cylinder 209 is fixedly connected to the side of the rotating motor 207 away from the pressing plate 208.

[0030] Specifically, such as Figure 5 As shown, both sliders 204 have threaded holes 4 inside for use with threaded rods 202, and the surface of the threaded rods 202 is in contact with the inner wall of the threaded holes 4.

[0031] Specifically, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 5 As shown, an arc-shaped base 5 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the inner wall of the U-shaped block 201, and the soccer ball is placed on top of the arc-shaped base 5.

[0032] In this embodiment: the arc-shaped base 5 provides stable support for the soccer ball, allowing it to be placed stably on the arc-shaped base 5. At the same time, the threaded rod 202 and the threaded hole 4 work together to allow the slider 204 to move smoothly along the threaded rod 202, simultaneously driving the fixed cylinder 205 to rise and fall, thus flexibly adjusting the height of the pressing plate 208 and ensuring that the pressing plate 208 is always in the appropriate position. In conjunction with the cylinder 209, the moving cylinder 206 can be moved smoothly, allowing the pressing plate 208 to contact the surface of the soccer ball, achieving stable fixation of the soccer ball and improving the ease of use of the fixing component 2.

[0033] Specifically, such as Figure 4 As shown, several jet heads 6 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the annular jet plate 307, and the jet nozzles of the jet heads 6 are aligned with the nozzle 305.

[0034] Specifically, such as Figure 2 , Figure 4 As shown, an air inlet pipe 7 is fixedly connected to the front side of the fan 309, and a filter screen 8 is fixedly connected to the side of the air inlet pipe 7 away from the fan 309.

[0035] In this embodiment: the combined use of the air intake pipe 7 and the filter screen 8 can increase the air intake range and block external impurities from entering, ensuring the cleanliness of the air entering the fan 309 and ensuring the stable operation of the fan 309. The airflow flows smoothly into the annular jet plate 307 through the air delivery hose 308. Together with the jet head 6, an annular jet channel can be formed, ensuring that the airflow blows smoothly on the printing area, accelerating the curing of the pattern, avoiding ink smudging and peeling due to contact and friction, ensuring the integrity of the pattern, and improving the ease of use of the printing assembly 3.

[0036] Specifically, such as Figure 1 , Figure 3 As shown, a glass door 9 is slidably connected to the front side of the interior of the box 1, and there are two glass doors 9 arranged sequentially from front to back.

[0037] Specifically, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, a control console 10 is fixedly connected to the front right side of the housing 1, and the control console 10 is electrically connected to the fixing component 2 and the printing component 3.

[0038] In this embodiment: the glass door 9 not only seals the box 1, reducing the entry of external dust and debris and ensuring the cleanliness of the printing environment, but also allows operators to observe the internal processing in real time due to the transparency of the glass. At the same time, under the control console 10, the operating parameters of the fixing component 2 and the printing component 3 can be set according to the actual situation. The lifting motor 203 drives the fixing cylinder 205 to move, ensuring that the pressing plate 208 is always in the appropriate position. With the help of the cylinder 209 and the rotating motor 207, the soccer ball can be fixed and its angle adjusted. Then, the electric trolley 303 and the movable arm 304 can flexibly adjust the angle of the nozzle 305 and the air jet nozzle 6 to complete the pattern printing and synchronous drying, which improves the ease of use of the device.

[0039] Working Principle: During the printing of the soccer ball pattern, the glass door 9 is first opened, and the soccer ball is placed on the curved base 5. Then, the glass door 9 is closed to seal the box 1, reducing interference from external impurities and ensuring the cleanliness of the printing environment. Subsequently, the operator sets the operating parameters of the fixing component 2 and the printing component 3 through the control console 10, starts the lifting motor 203 to drive the threaded rod 202 to rotate, and drives the slider 204 to move smoothly, simultaneously driving the fixing cylinder 205 and the pressing plate 208 to rise and fall, ensuring that the pressing plate 208 is always in the appropriate position. At the same time, the cylinder 209 is started to drive the moving cylinder 206 and the pressing plate 208 to move, so that the pressing plate 208 contacts the surface of the soccer ball, completing the stable fixing of the soccer ball and entering the printing stage. The electric trolley 303 is started to drive the movable arm 304 along the track. The movement of the track block 302 synchronously drives the nozzle 305 and the annular air jet plate 307 to move longitudinally. Combined with the angle adjustment function of the movable arm 304, the spray position can be flexibly adjusted. With the help of the infusion hose 306, a liquid guiding channel can be formed, so that the dye in the storage tank 301 is delivered to the nozzle 305 through the infusion hose 306, and then the nozzle 305 is precisely sprayed out to form a pattern. During the printing process, the control console 10 controls the rotating motor 207 to drive the pressing plate 208 to rotate, so as to realize the adjustment of the football angle and adapt to the printing of multiple areas. At the same time, the fan 309 is started to generate airflow. The airflow is delivered to the annular air jet plate 307 through the air infusion hose 308, and forms an annular airflow channel through the air jet head 6, which smoothly blows on the printing area to accelerate the curing of the pattern and avoid the ink from smudging or falling off due to contact friction, thus ensuring the integrity of the pattern.

[0040] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
