Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of carton inkjet printing equipment, specifically a carton inkjet printing equipment for a carton production line. Background Technology
[0002] In the carton production process, the inkjet printing process is a key link in realizing product traceability and the transmission of identification information. By printing information such as production date, batch number, traceability code, and QR code on the surface of the carton, it provides an important basis for product quality control, market circulation, and consumer inquiry. With the rapid development of the packaging industry, carton inkjet printing equipment has become an indispensable part of the carton production line.
[0003] A search revealed a patent, CN217968639U, which discloses a carton inkjet printing device for a carton production line. Belonging to the field of carton processing technology, the device includes a support rod, an adjusting rod, a receiving component, a drive mechanism, a bracket, and a double-row conveyor. The bracket is located inside the double-row conveyor, the drive mechanism is mounted on and connected to the bracket, the adjusting rod is mounted on and hinged to the bracket, and the support rod is located on one side of the adjusting rod, with both ends rotatably connected to the output ends of the adjusting rod and the drive mechanism, respectively. The receiving component is located in the middle of the conveying end of the double-row conveyor and is fixedly connected to the support rod. This device enables automated flipping of cartons, ensuring that the bottom of each carton, even when obscured, can be printed using the inkjet printer. This avoids missed printing on the cartons without affecting processing efficiency.
[0004] The aforementioned patents have significant beneficial effects, but in practical application, they still have the following shortcomings:
[0005] The aforementioned comparative document describes the transport of cartons via a horizontal conveyor belt, with a coding device on the side of the conveyor for coding. However, in reality, due to the light weight of the cartons, their positions are prone to shift when transported one by one on the horizontal conveyor belt. This necessitates constant adjustment of the cartons' positions during coding to ensure the accuracy of the coding, thus reducing the efficiency of coding. Therefore, there is an urgent need in the art to improve carton coding equipment to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation
[0029] 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.
[0030] Example 1
[0031] Please see Figures 1-7A carton inkjet printing device for a carton production line includes an inkjet printing head 3 for inkjet printing, and two fixedly connected first support platforms 1 and second support platforms 2. Each support platform 1 and support platform 2 has a drive unit 4 for conveying on one side. The first support platform 1 has an intermittently moving plate 5 parallel to the drive unit 4 on its upper part. A first drive motor 6 for intermittently moving the intermittently moving plate 5 is located on one side of the first support platform 1. A side plate 9 adapted to the intermittently moving plate 5 is located on one side of the upper part of the first support platform 1. The side plate 9 and the side of the drive unit 4 are adapted to the thickness of the part to be printed. The second support platform 2 has a limiting seat 7 adapted to the drive unit 4 on its upper part. A first fixing plate 8 is fixedly installed on the upper part of the limiting seat 7. The inkjet printing head 3 is located on one side of the first fixing plate 8. The drive unit 4 includes a fixing frame 1 fixedly installed on the upper parts of the first support platform 1 and the second support platform 2. 0. Several drive rollers 11 are rotatably connected inside the fixed frame 10. Several second drive motors 12 for driving the drive rollers 11 to rotate are fixedly installed on the upper part of the fixed frame 10. A first sliding block 13 is fixedly installed on the lower part of the intermittent moving plate 5. A first sliding groove 14 adapted to the first sliding block 13 is opened on the upper part of the first bearing platform 1. A drive screw 15 with one end fixedly installed to the output end of the first drive motor 6 is rotatably connected inside the first sliding groove 14. The drive screw 15 passes through the first sliding block 13 and is threadedly connected to it. Two vertical fixed rods 16 are fixedly installed on the upper part of the limiting seat 7. A limiting rod 17 adapted to the drive unit 4 is fixedly installed between the upper sides of the two fixed rods 16. A second fixed plate 26 adapted to the first fixed plate 8 is fixedly installed on the upper part of the limiting seat 7. A sensing device 27 electrically connected to the spray dock 3 is provided on one side of the second fixed plate 26.
[0032] The specific implementation method in this embodiment is as follows: The inkjet printing terminal 3 mentioned above is a known prior art technology. Its main function, connected to the ink cartridge, is to print codes on cartons. When printing codes on cartons is required during the carton production line process, the cartons are folded and stacked. Several stacked cartons are arranged vertically between the intermittent moving plate 5 and the drive unit 4. The first drive motor 6 is turned on, and the output end of the first drive motor 6 drives the drive screw 15 to rotate. The rotation of the drive screw 15 drives the first sliding block 13 to move in the first sliding groove 14. The first sliding block 13 drives the intermittent moving plate 5 to move, pressing several cartons between the intermittent moving plate 5 and several drive rollers 11. Then, several second drive motors 12 fixedly installed on the fixed frame 10 are turned on. The output end of the second drive motor 12 drives the drive rollers 11 to rotate. When the drive rollers 11 rotate, they push the vertical cartons to move. And because the distance between the side plate 9 and the drive rollers 11 is suitable for the thickness of a carton, Therefore, a carton moves to the upper part of the second support platform 2 and is located between the drive roller 11 and the limiting seat 7. At this time, the first drive motor 6 works intermittently. The distance that the intermittent moving plate 5 moves each time is adapted to the thickness of a folded carton. The carton is located between several drive rollers 11, limiting seats 7 and limiting rods 17, and the carton is pressed and transported. The sensing device 27 is a prior art sensor, which is used to sense the carton. When the sensing device 27 senses the carton, it calculates the transmission speed of the drive roller 11 to the carton, and coordinates the carton size and the position to be printed. The printing terminal 3 is started after a delay. The printing terminal 3 prints the code on the carton. After printing, the carton is driven out of the second support platform 2 by the drive roller 11 and is transported to the next station again. By vertically transporting the carton and pressing and transporting the carton through the drive unit 4 and the limiting seat 7, the accuracy of printing the code on the carton is ensured and the efficiency of printing the code on the carton is improved.

[0035] In this embodiment, the following specific implementation method is used: By rotating the adjusting threaded rod 20, the second sliding block 18 is driven to slide in the second sliding groove 19. The second sliding block 18 drives the limiting seat 7 to move, which can adjust the distance between the driving unit 4 and the limiting seat 7. The first limiting nut 21 is locked to limit and fix the position of the limiting seat 7. The side plate 9 slides on the upper part of the first bearing platform 1, and the first adjusting groove 24 on the connecting plate 22 slides along the side of the first threaded post 23. The distance between one side of the side plate 9 and the driving roller 11 is adjusted to a size that matches the thickness of the carton, which can print on cartons of different thicknesses and improve the applicability of the carton printing device.
