Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of auxiliary positioning technology for marking machines, and in particular to a UV marking positioning device and a marking machine. Background Technology

[0002] In the processing of zirconia discs, the marking process is a crucial step. It requires accurately marking the surface of the disc with a specified pattern or standard brand design. Furthermore, since discs of different colors and qualities need to be distinguished by corresponding model numbers, the accuracy of the marking operation is paramount. This process demands extremely high positioning precision. It must not only ensure that the marked pattern is correct, clear, and free of ghosting, but also guarantee the consistency of the pattern across all zirconia discs. Simultaneously, the efficiency of the marking process must also be effectively guaranteed.

[0003] However, existing technologies for marking zirconia discs using marking machines present several problems. Firstly, zirconia discs are often not placed stably. During the movement to the marking point, the impact force and external forces can easily cause displacement, leading to misalignment between the disc and the marking point. This results in inaccurate marking and unclear labels, and remarking significantly reduces processing efficiency. Secondly, dust frequently falls from the zirconia discs during processing. This dust accumulates on the marking machine, affecting the flatness of the marking and making cleaning difficult.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to propose a UV marking positioning device and marking machine to solve or at least alleviate the above-mentioned defects. Utility Model Content

[0005] The main purpose of this utility model is to provide a UV marking positioning device and marking machine to solve the positioning and dust handling problems existing in the zirconia disc marking technology.

[0007] The marking positioning disk has a rectangular horizontal cross-section. Multiple positioning groove groups are spaced apart along the width of the disk. Each positioning groove group includes multiple positioning grooves spaced apart along the length of the marking positioning disk.

[0031] Please see the appendix Figure 1-3 The present invention provides a UV marking positioning device and marking machine in one embodiment, including a marking positioning disk 10 and a pad assembly (not shown in the figure). The marking positioning disk 10 is used to be installed on the marking substrate 20 of the marking machine, and the specific scheme is as follows:

[0032] The marking positioning disk 10 has a rectangular horizontal cross-section. Multiple positioning grooves 110 are spaced apart along its width on the marking positioning disk 10. Each group of positioning grooves 110 includes multiple positioning grooves 110 spaced apart along the length of the marking positioning disk 10. The positioning grooves 110 are used for mounting the zirconia disk 30 and restricting its displacement. The marking positioning disk 10 has a pick-and-place section 120 on the periphery of each positioning groove 110 for easy pick-and-place of the zirconia disk 30. Each positioning groove 110 has a dust collection hole 111 on its bottom surface, and the dust collection hole 111 is spaced apart from the inner wall of the positioning groove 110. The pad assembly is detachably connected to the positioning groove 110 to adjust the height of the zirconia disk 30.

[0033] Specifically, the UV marking positioning device and marking machine in this application include a marking positioning disk 10 and a pad assembly. The marking positioning disk 10 is used to support each zirconia disk 30 to achieve an auxiliary positioning effect for the zirconia disk 30. Its horizontal cross-section is rectangular, and the whole is cuboid, which facilitates alignment with the marking substrate 20 of the marking machine. To accommodate the installation of the zirconia disks 30, multiple sets and rows of positioning grooves 110 are provided to correspond to each marking position of the marking machine, facilitating the simultaneous marking of multiple zirconia disks. The zirconia disk 30 is used for marking. The bottom surface of the positioning groove 110 is used for mounting the zirconia disk 30 and can also catch dust that falls when the zirconia disk 30 is placed, so as to prevent dust from falling onto the marking substrate 20. Since the marking substrate 20 is usually only pushed and pulled when installed in the marking machine, its disassembly is relatively troublesome. Therefore, if dust accumulates, it is not easy to clean. On the contrary, the marking positioning plate is easy to disassemble and assemble, making it easier to clean dust. The side wall of the positioning groove 110 is used to limit the horizontal displacement of the zirconia disk 30. In a preferred embodiment of this application, considering that the zirconia disk 30 is usually circular, the horizontal cross-section of the positioning groove 110 is also set to be circular, so as to correspond to the zirconia disk 30. The inner diameter of the positioning groove 110 is matched with the outer diameter of the zirconia disk 30. Here, matching means that the dimensions are close and there is a gap fit between them. The horizontal displacement of the zirconia disk 30 is restricted between the side wall contact surfaces, but it can still slide in the vertical direction for easy picking and putting. Thus, under the positioning action of the positioning groove 110, the zirconia disk 30 is stably limited, which effectively avoids the displacement of the zirconia disk 30 due to the impact force or external force during the movement to the marking point. This ensures that there is no offset between the zirconia disk 30 and the marking point, greatly improves the marking positioning accuracy, ensures the correctness, clarity and no ghosting effect of the marking pattern, and ensures the consistency of the pattern of each zirconia disk 30. It also reduces the re-marking situation caused by inaccurate marking and helps to improve the efficiency of the marking process.

[0034] To facilitate the handling of the zirconia disc 30, a handling portion 120 is provided on the periphery of the positioning groove 110. This handling portion 120 is designed for manual operation. Preferably, it can be configured as two U-shaped grooves 121 arranged radially opposite to each other along the positioning groove 110, communicating with the positioning groove 110. This creates two U-shaped spaces around the zirconia disc 30 within the positioning groove 110, allowing technicians to reach into the U-shaped grooves 121 as a point of leverage to pick up / put down the zirconia disc 30. Meanwhile, a dust collection hole 111 is formed on the bottom surface of the positioning groove 110. This is used to facilitate the cleaning of dust that falls off the zirconia disc 30 during placement. Dust remaining on the bottom surface of the positioning groove 110 can be brushed directly out through the dust collection hole 111 using tools such as a brush, greatly improving cleaning efficiency. It should be noted that dust on the zirconia disc 30 usually falls off most easily on the circumferential side. Therefore, the dust collection hole 111 is set at an interval between itself and the inner wall of the positioning groove 110, so that the circumferential dust will remain at the circumferential corners (i.e., between the edge of the dust collection hole 111 and the inner wall of the positioning groove 110), and the dust can then be brushed out through the dust collection hole 111.

[0035] Furthermore, the pad assembly is used to adjust the height of the zirconia disk 30. Since zirconia disks 30 of different specifications have different thicknesses, the pad assembly can be used to achieve a sufficient height for marking on zirconia disks 30 with smaller thicknesses, and can also achieve a leveling effect. As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the pad assembly includes at least one cylindrical pad 130. The specific number and height of the pad 130 can be adjusted according to actual needs. The outer diameter of the pad 130 is matched with the inner diameter of the positioning groove 110. By ensuring the diameter of the pad 130, the installation stability of the zirconia disk 30 is ensured. After the pad 130 is placed between the zirconia disk 30 and the bottom surface of the positioning groove 110, the zirconia disk 30 is adjusted to the target height position for marking. It can be understood that in scenarios where the pad assembly is not needed, the zirconia disk 30 can be placed directly into the positioning groove 110 without the pad assembly.

[0036] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the dust collection hole 111 is arc-shaped, and the number of dust collection holes 111 in each positioning groove 110 is four, and the four dust collection holes 111 are arranged at intervals along the circumference of the positioning groove 110.

[0037] It is worth noting that the arc-shaped dust collection hole 111 is designed to match the circular inner wall of the positioning groove 110, thereby making the spacing between the dust collection hole 111 and the inner wall of the positioning groove 110 more uniform, which facilitates the removal of dust residue in the circumference of the zirconia disk 30; preferably, the number of them is set to four, and the specific number can be selected by those skilled in the art according to actual needs.

[0038] Furthermore, each of the positioning grooves 110 has a central vent hole 112 on its bottom surface, and the central vent hole 112 is located at the center of the four dust collection holes 111.

[0039] It should be noted that the central vent 112 can serve as a ventilation point. If there are trace impurities on the surface of the zirconia disk 30, or if the laser energy is high during marking, causing local high temperatures, the impurities or trace components on the surface of the material may vaporize and generate gas. This allows the gas to be discharged to ensure the surface of the zirconia disk 30 is flat, ensuring flatness and accuracy during marking. It also has the effect of assisting in heat dissipation and is located in the center. Similarly, the four dust collection holes 111 can also serve as ventilation points in addition to cleaning dust.

[0040] Furthermore, the number of the positioning grooves 110 groups is six, and the six groups of positioning grooves 110 groups are arranged at equal intervals.

[0041] It should be understood that the positioning groove 110 group can be set according to the width of the marking substrate 20. In a preferred embodiment of this application, it can be set to six groups, and the number in each group can be selected by those skilled in the art according to the specific situation of the marking machine.

[0042] This application also provides a marking machine, including a marking substrate 20, and a UV marking positioning device as described above, wherein the marking positioning disk 10 of the UV marking positioning device is bolted to the marking substrate 20.

[0043] It should be noted that the marking substrate 20 is movably disposed in the marking machine body for easy pulling out. When pulled out, the marking positioning plate 10 of the UV marking positioning device is installed. The installation can be achieved by bolt connection, and the two adjacent right-angled sides are aligned with the marking substrate 20 to avoid tilting and ensure alignment accuracy. After installation, it is pushed into the marking machine to the marking point for marking.

[0044] Furthermore, the marking substrate 20 has a plurality of substrate vents 210 groups arranged at intervals along its own width direction, and each substrate vent 210 group includes a plurality of substrate vents 210 arranged at intervals along its own length direction.

[0045] It should be noted that the substrate vent 210 can work with the central vent 112 and dust collection hole 111 of the positioning groove 110 to provide ventilation during marking. Considering that in some embodiments, a pad assembly is needed to adjust the height of the zirconia disk 30, a pad 130 vent is also provided on the pad assembly (pad 130). The pad 130 vent corresponds to the substrate vent 210 within the bottom position range. Here, "corresponds" means that the number, size, and shape are the same and they are set on the same axis.

[0046] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model and do not limit the patent scope of this utility model. Any equivalent structural or procedural transformations made based on the description and drawings of this utility model, or direct or indirect applications in other related technical fields, are similarly included within the patent protection scope of this utility model.
