Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cardboard box production technology, and in particular to an integrated device for cardboard box surface printing and creasing. Background Technology
[0002] Cardboard boxes are a widely used packaging container, mainly made of cardboard. In order to add necessary marking information to the cardboard boxes and to ensure the stability of the cardboard boxes when folded, printing and creasing operations are often required in the production process.
[0003] However, traditional equipment typically only has a single function of printing or creasing, which cannot meet the diverse needs of the carton processing process. Secondly, when printing with traditional carton surface printing equipment, dust or impurities often exist on the cardboard surface, leading to problems such as blurry printed patterns and uneven colors. When creasing with traditional creasing equipment, the cardboard is prone to misalignment due to inaccurate positioning, which affects the accuracy of creasing and the forming effect of the carton. In addition, traditional equipment generally has a low degree of automation and relies heavily on manual operation, which is not only inefficient but also increases production costs and the risk of errors.

[0009] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the indentation assembly includes an indentation platform mounted on a base, a hydraulic cylinder mounted on the top of the indentation platform, a lifting plate three mounted on the bottom of the telescopic rod of the hydraulic cylinder, a pair of indentation knives mounted on the bottom of the lifting plate three, and a pair of telescopic cylinders four symmetrically mounted on both sides of the indentation platform, with baffles two mounted on the top of the telescopic rods of both telescopic cylinders four.
[0010] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the pushing assembly includes a pair of telescopic cylinders five mounted on the base. A lifting plate four is mounted on the top of the telescopic rods of the two telescopic cylinders five. A telescopic cylinder six is mounted on the middle of the lifting plate four. A push plate is mounted on the top of the telescopic rod of the telescopic cylinder six. A pair of guide posts are symmetrically mounted on one side of the push plate. Guide sleeves are mounted on the lifting plate four at positions corresponding to the guide posts.
[0011] Compared with the prior art, the above-mentioned technical solution of this utility model has the following beneficial technical effects:
[0012] This invention achieves efficient cleaning of cardboard surfaces by incorporating a dust removal component and combining cylindrical brushes with a vacuum cleaner. Power is transmitted through a chain drive system consisting of motor one, sprocket two, transmission chain two, sprocket three, sprocket one, and transmission chain one, driving the cylindrical brushes on both sides to rotate synchronously. This effectively removes dust and impurities from the cardboard surface. The vacuum cleaner then promptly removes the dirt from the cylindrical brushes, ensuring continuous cleaning and dust removal. This not only improves the cleanliness of the cardboard surface, providing a good base for subsequent printing and creasing operations, but also increases automation, saves time and costs associated with manual cleaning, and improves overall production efficiency.
[0013] This invention, by setting up a printing assembly, allows the telescopic rod of the telescopic cylinder two to extend and retract, controlling the lifting plate two to raise and lower, thereby adjusting the distance between the printing head and the cardboard. This ensures that the printing head can closely contact the cardboard surface, guaranteeing uniform distribution and good adhesion of the ink, resulting in a clear and full printing effect. Furthermore, by controlling the extension and retraction of the telescopic rods of the telescopic cylinders three on both sides, the baffles one on both sides can be driven to move closer or further apart, enabling rapid positioning according to the cardboard size and improving the accuracy and stability of printing.
[0014] This invention features a creasing assembly. The extension and retraction of the hydraulic cylinder's telescopic rod controls the raising and lowering of the lifting plate three, thereby adjusting the distance between the creasing knife and the cardboard. The powerful driving force provided by the hydraulic cylinder ensures that the creasing knife applies sufficient pressure when it contacts the cardboard, resulting in clear and accurate creasing lines. Furthermore, by controlling the extension and retraction of the telescopic rods of the two telescopic cylinders four on both sides, the two side baffles two can be driven to move closer or further apart, enabling rapid positioning according to the cardboard size and improving the accuracy and stability of the creasing operation. In addition, the entire device integrates printing and creasing operations, improving production efficiency.
[0015] This invention features a pushing assembly. The telescopic rod of telescopic cylinder five extends and retracts to control the adjustment of lifting plate four according to the height of the cardboard, ensuring that the pushing plate maintains proper contact with the cardboard surface during the pushing process. Then, the telescopic rod of telescopic cylinder five extends to drive the pushing plate forward to push the cardboard, ensuring that the cardboard is stably pushed to the preset position. At the same time, the combination of guide posts and guide sleeves on the pushing plate ensures the stability and accuracy of the pushing, thereby reducing manual intervention and improving the overall automation level of the equipment.

[0030] In operation, the operator first starts the entire equipment. The first conveyor 2 conveys cardboard forward. Motor 38 in the dust removal assembly 3 drives sprocket 39 to rotate. Sprocket 39 transmits power to sprocket 312 via transmission chain 310, thereby driving the left cylindrical brush 35 to rotate. The rotation of the left cylindrical brush 35 drives sprocket 36 at one end to rotate, which then transmits power to sprocket 36 on the right side via transmission chain 37, achieving synchronous rotation of the two cylindrical brushes 35. This transfers dust or impurities from the cardboard surface to the cylindrical brushes 35. Then, a vacuum cleaner 311 removes the dust or impurities from the surface of the cylindrical brushes 35. The first conveyor 2 transports the cardboard to the printing table 41. By controlling the extension and retraction of the telescopic rods of the telescopic cylinders 47 on both sides, the baffles 48 on both sides move closer or further apart, thereby helping the cardboard to be positioned quickly. Then, the telescopic rod of the telescopic cylinder 42 extends, driving the lifting plate 43 to descend. The ink storage box 44 supplies ink to the printing head 46 through the conveying pipe 45. The printing head 46 contacts the surface of the cardboard and performs printing. After completion, the printing assembly 4 resets. At the same time, the telescopic rod of the telescopic cylinder 81 in the pusher assembly 8 on one side of the printing assembly 4 retracts, causing the lifting plate 82 to descend. Then, the telescopic rod of the telescopic cylinder 83 extends, driving the pusher plate 84 to push the cardboard forward.
[0031] The cardboard continues to be transported forward by the second conveyor 5. The dryer 6 on the top of the mounting frame 9 on the second conveyor 5 can dry the pigment on the surface of the cardboard. After drying, the cardboard is transported by the second conveyor 5 to the creasing table 71. By controlling the extension and retraction of the telescopic rod of the telescopic cylinder 75, the baffles 76 on both sides move closer or further apart, thereby helping the cardboard to be quickly positioned. Then, by extending the telescopic rod of the hydraulic cylinder 72, the lifting plate 73 is driven to descend, and the creasing knife 74 contacts the surface of the cardboard and performs the creasing operation. After completion, the creasing assembly 7 resets, and at the same time, the pushing assembly 8 on one side of the creasing assembly 7 pushes the cardboard out of the whole equipment according to the same steps, completing the unloading.
