Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of pad printing machine components, specifically an automatic positioning and printing platform for a pad printing machine. Background Technology
[0002] Pad printing machines are commonly used devices in the printing industry, particularly suitable for printing on irregular surfaces. They use a silicone printhead to transfer patterns or text from an engraved plate onto the surface of an object. Common applications include printing logos, patterns, or text on materials such as plastics, glass, and metals.
[0003] In pad printing, products are placed on a printing platform, and the angle and orientation of the platform are adjusted to achieve accurate printing. However, due to the different sizes of the products, the printing position of the products may shift after they are installed on the printing platform. This shift in product position will affect the printing effect of the pad printing machine. Therefore, we propose an automatic positioning and printing platform for pad printing machines. Utility Model Content
[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing pad printing machines' automatic positioning and printing platforms, this utility model provides an automatic positioning and printing platform for pad printing machines. This platform features a rotating first gear, which, through a threaded motion with a toothed plate, can precisely limit the placement of products based on their characteristics. Simultaneously, a motor drives the product limiting plate to rotate, achieving automatic calibration of the printing orientation and improving printing accuracy. This solves the problems mentioned in the background section.

A limiting sleeve 2 is installed on the upper part of the processing table 1, limiting the position of a hydraulic rod 3. The hydraulic rod 3 is installed inside the limiting sleeve 2, driving the pad printing machines. Two sets of pad printing machines print on the product. The upper end of the hydraulic rod 3 is equipped with a pad printing machine. A sliding groove 8 is opened inside the processing table 1, and a first slider 9 is movably sleeved inside the sliding groove 8. A mounting plate 10 is movably sleeved on the upper end of the first slider 9. The mounting plate 10 is adjusted in position on the upper part of the processing table 1 and aligned with a scale groove 26, thus accurately calibrating the product printing position and improving the accuracy of automatic positioning. The upper part of the printing platform 11 is equipped with... A printing platform 11 is installed, with a limit baffle 14 fixedly connected to one side of the upper part of the printing platform 11. A mounting base 15 is fixedly connected to one side of the upper part of the printing platform 11. A first clamping assembly 16 is installed on the upper end of the mounting base 15 via a hinge. A second clamping assembly 17 is installed on the upper part of the first clamping assembly 16. The first clamping assembly 16 and the second clamping assembly 17 hold a movable sleeve 19 inside. A product limiting plate 22 is movably sleeved at the front end inside the movable sleeve 19. A control handle 23 is fixedly connected to the upper part of the rear end of the movable sleeve 19. Adjusting the position of the control handle 23 will adjust the angle of the product limiting plate 22, thereby achieving precise positioning when positioning plastic products.
[0022] Please see Figure 2 The pad printing machine includes a pad printing machine housing 4, which is fixed to the outside of a hydraulic rod 3. The upper end of the piston rod inside the hydraulic rod 3 is fitted with the pad printing machine body 5, which is located inside the pad printing machine housing 4. A connector 6 is installed at the lower end of the pad printing machine body 5, and a printing component 7 for printing on the product is installed on the outside of the lower end of the connector 6. By activating the hydraulic rod 3, the hydraulic rod 3 drives the piston rod to move up and down, thereby controlling the height adjustment of the pad printing machine body 5. When the printing component 7 comes into contact with the plastic product to be printed, the printing component 7 prints on the plastic product.
[0023] Please see Figure 1 The slide groove 8 is internally fitted with a second slider 12. The upper end of the second slider 12 is fixedly connected with a side mounting plate 13. The side mounting plate 13 is installed on the upper ends of both sides of the mounting plate 10. Bolts are installed inside the second slider 12.

The toothed plate 20 is movably sleeved inside the second clamping assembly 17. The first gear 21 meshes with the outside of the toothed plate 20. Depending on the thickness and size of the product, the first gear 21 is rotated, and the first gear 21 and the toothed plate 20 make threaded movements, controlling the position of the movable sleeve 19 inside the second clamping assembly 17 and the support plate 18 to adjust. At the same time, after the product limiting plate 22 clamps the plastic product, it ensures that the front end of the plastic product contacts the limiting baffle 14, improving the accuracy of the plastic product printing positioning.
[0028] Working principle: During use, depending on the size of the plastic product to be printed, adjust the position of the first slider 9 on the upper part of the processing table 1, adjust the position of the side mounting plate 13, and the side mounting plate 13 presses and limits the position of the mounting plate 10. Rotate the first gear 21, and the first gear 21 meshes with the toothed plate 20 to adjust the position of the product limiting plate 22. At the same time, press the control handle 23 to control the product limiting plate 22 to face upward, and simultaneously put the plastic product on the outside of the product limiting plate 22. Control the product limiting plate 22 to move downward, that is, control the product limiting plate 22 to move horizontally. The product is placed in the position, and the product limiting plate 22 drives the plastic product to be clamped on the inner side of the limiting baffle 14. The printing position of the plastic product is precisely adjusted, and the printing position can be precisely calibrated by observing the scale groove 26. After the position is calibrated, the angle of the product limiting plate 22 can be adjusted by fully adjusting the position of the control handle 23. After the plastic product is sleeved on the outside of the product limiting plate 22, precise printing can be achieved. The printing component 7 is set at the upper end of the plastic product. Control the printing component 7 to press down, that is, the printing component 7 performs printing processing on the outside of the plastic product.
