Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of screen printing technology and relates to a screen printing device. Background Technology
[0002] Screen printing refers to the process of creating a screen printing plate with images and text using a photosensitive method. Screen printing consists of five main elements: the screen printing plate, the squeegee, the ink, the printing table, and the substrate. It utilizes the basic principle that ink can pass through the mesh openings of the screen printing plate in the image areas, while ink cannot pass through the openings in the non-image areas. During printing, ink is poured into one end of the screen printing plate, and a squeegee applies pressure to the ink areas while moving at a constant speed towards the other end. As the squeegee moves, the ink is forced through the mesh openings in the image areas onto the substrate.
[0003] Currently, a Chinese patent with publication number CN222431842 U discloses a screen printing machine that can easily load and unload the screen frame. However, in the actual printing process, after the object under the screen printing plate is printed, the machine needs to be stopped to remove the object and place a new one, which results in low efficiency.

[0027] Compared with existing technologies, this utility model provides a screen printing device. When printing on a workpiece (such as glass), the workpiece is first placed (either manually by a worker or automatically by a robotic arm) at a positioning station outside the printing screen. Then, the material tray is driven by a rotating mechanism to rotate, causing the positioning station with the workpiece to rotate below the printing screen (there is a height difference between the workpiece and the printing screen at this point). Next, a first lifting cylinder lowers the height of the squeegee, causing it to act downwards on the top of the printing screen and press the screen against the top of the workpiece. Then, a drive mechanism drives a reciprocating frame to move along the length of the printing frame. During this process, the ink upstream of the squeegee is agitated and partially passes through the printing screen (with small holes bearing the desired pattern) and acts on the surface of the workpiece.
[0028] When the squeegee reaches its maximum stroke, the first lifting cylinder raises the squeegee, causing the printing screen to rise naturally. At this point, the second lifting cylinder drives the return ink plate downwards, ensuring its bottom is against the top of the printing screen (at this point, the printing screen is higher than the workpiece). The reciprocating frame then moves back, using the return ink plate to move excess ink to a standby position for the next squeegee cycle. Simultaneously, the material tray rotates, transferring the next workpiece below the printing screen, ready for the next printing cycle. Printed workpieces can be removed after rotating to the outside of the printing frame (either manually by a worker or using a robotic arm, suction cup, etc.). This multi-positioning material tray system dynamically manages loading, unloading, and printing, improving printing and production efficiency. Attached Figure Description

[0060] A horizontal plate 42 is horizontally arranged at the bottom of the piston rod of the first lifting cylinder 6.

[0061] The vertical plate 43 is provided with a fixing mechanism for fixing the angle of the swing shaft 44. The fixing mechanism includes an electromagnetic brake 50, which is a standard part. When the power is on, it automatically locks the swing shaft 44, and when the power is off, it allows the swing shaft 44 to rotate freely; or when the power is off, it automatically locks the swing shaft 44, and when the power is on, it allows the swing shaft 44 to rotate freely.
[0062] This utility model provides a screen printing device. When printing on a workpiece (such as glass), the workpiece is first placed (either manually by a worker or automatically by a robot, suction cup, etc.) at the positioning station 3 outside the printing screen 11. Then, the material tray 2 is driven by the rotating mechanism to rotate, causing the positioning station 3 with the workpiece to rotate below the printing screen 11 (there is a height difference between the workpiece and the printing screen 11 at this time). Then, the first lifting cylinder 6 lowers the height of the squeegee 8, so that the squeegee 8 acts downward on the top of the printing screen 11 and presses the printing screen 11 to fit against the top of the workpiece. Then, the driving mechanism drives the reciprocating frame 5 to move along the length of the printing frame 4. During this process, the ink located upstream of the squeegee 8 is hung and partially passes through the printing screen 11 (with small holes with the desired pattern) and acts on the surface of the workpiece.
[0063] When the squeegee 8 reaches its maximum stroke, the first lifting cylinder 6 raises the squeegee 8, and then the printing screen 11 naturally rises. At this time, the second lifting cylinder 7 drives the return ink plate 9 downward, so that the bottom of the return ink plate 9 is attached to the top of the printing screen 11 (at this time, the printing screen 11 is higher than the workpiece). Then the reciprocating frame 5 moves back, and the return ink plate 9 drives the excess ink to the standby position to wait for the next stroke by the squeegee 8. At the same time, the material tray 2 rotates and transfers the next workpiece to the bottom of the printing screen 11, waiting for the next printing. The printed workpiece can be removed after rotating to the outside of the printing frame 4 (manually removed by the worker or by using a robot, suction cup, etc.). In this way, the material trays 2 of multiple positioning stations 3 can dynamically realize loading, unloading and printing, improving the efficiency of printing and production.
[0064] In the actual printing process, after the workpiece is placed in the positioning groove 18 (whose depth is less than the thickness of the workpiece; depending on the actual situation, the surface of the positioning station 3 can also be flat, and positioning is achieved solely through negative pressure), the motor (via gears or belts, etc.) drives the top column 17 and the material tray 2 to rotate. During rotation, the negative pressure pipe is connected to the negative pressure pump, ensuring that the inner cavity formed by the bottom column 16 and the top column 17 is continuously under negative pressure. Through the automatic opening and closing of the solenoid valves, negative pressure can be created at the bottom of all workpieces, ensuring stable connection between the workpieces and the material tray 2. When the material tray 2 stops rotating, only the solenoid valve at the bottom of the workpiece opens for unloading; the solenoid valves at other locations open the negative pressure channel, allowing the workpiece to be stably adsorbed. All solenoid valves can be either self-powered (rechargeable) or have slip rings installed in the top column 17 and the bottom column 16, energizing the solenoid valves through these slip rings. This ensures that the solenoid valves remain energized even as the material tray 2 rotates.
[0065] When a workpiece moves to the bottom of the printing screen 11 for printing, the third lifting cylinder 13 also lowers the height of the limiting plate 14 during the printing process, so that the limiting plate 14 is also attached to the top of the printing screen 11. At this time, the ink on both sides of the squeegee 8 can be limited and guided by the limiting plate 14, and the ink moves towards the direction closer to the squeegee, preventing the ink from flowing too far.
[0066] After printing, both the squeegee 8 and the limiting plate 14 rise, and then the return ink plate 9 moves downwards to adhere to the printing screen 11 and reverses direction, driving the ink back to its initial position to await the next printing. The return ink sections 12 on both sides of the return ink plate 9 can concentrate ink over a wider area, allowing for better ink utilization. As printing progresses, manual replenishment of ink is required on the printing screen 11. When the reciprocating frame 5 moves, the motor drives the drive screw to rotate, which in turn drives the linkage unit, causing the reciprocating frame 5 to move horizontally back and forth on the printing frame 4.
[0067] Before printing, the auxiliary cylinder 19 drives the auxiliary part 20 to rise, causing the auxiliary part 20 to contact the bottom of the material tray 2. This ensures that even if the doctor blade 8 or other components apply downward pressure to the material tray 2, the auxiliary part 20 can still provide support, effectively maintaining the structure, position, and stability of the material tray 2. When the material tray 2 needs to rotate, the auxiliary cylinder 19 lowers the height of the auxiliary part 20, ensuring that the auxiliary part 20 does not interfere with the normal rotation of the material tray 2.
[0068] During normal printing, several lifting discs 33 pull the printing screen frame 10 upward under the pulling force of their respective positioning cylinders 31, ensuring that the printing screen frame 10 fits tightly against the bottom of the support plate 22. This guarantees the positional stability of the printing screen frame 10 and the printing screen body 11, as well as the printing quality. When it is necessary to replace or clean the printing screen frame 10 and the printing screen body 11, the positioning cylinder 31 simply moves downward, causing the lifting disc 33 to move to the middle of the positioning groove 18, with neither the top nor the bottom of the lifting disc 33 contacting the inner wall of the positioning groove 18. At this time, the telescopic cylinder 29 drives the synchronizing part 28 to move outward, causing the telescopic frame 26 to also move outward. Meanwhile, the telescopic frame 26 drives the printing screen frame 10 outward simultaneously through the positioning pin 30 until the printing screen frame 10 can be removed from the outside.
[0069] When installing a new or clean printing frame 10 and printing screen 11, simply connect the positioning hole 27 of the printing frame 10 to the positioning pin 30. Then, the telescopic cylinder 29 drives the telescopic frame 26 to move inward to the designated position via the synchronization part 28 and stops. When the telescopic frame 26 moves outward, the lifting plate 33 and the lifting column 32 can disengage from the positioning groove 18. When it moves inward, the lifting plate 33 and the lifting column 32 can re-enter the positioning groove 18. After the telescopic frame 26 reaches the appropriate position, the lifting plate 33 rises, causing the printing frame 10 to abut against the bottom of the support plate 22.
[0070] During actual ink scraping, because the squeegee 8 is elongated, the force it applies to the printing screen 11 may be unbalanced, easily leading to differences in the scraping effect at different locations. For example, if the squeegee 8 applies a small force to the printing screen 11, it can easily result in under-printing. However, since the first adapting seat 46, the second adapting seat 48, and the squeegee 8 can all change angles via the swing seat 45 and the swing shaft 44, the angle of the squeegee 8 can be adjusted during actual printing to ensure that the force applied to the printing screen 11 by the squeegee 8 is more even across different locations, thus guaranteeing printing quality. In actual use, when the squeegee 8 moves downward and contacts the printing screen 11, the squeegee 8 automatically changes angle because the swing shaft 44 can rotate. This allows the two ends of the squeegee 8 to reach a state of equilibrium or near equilibrium of the reaction forces. Then, the angle of the swing shaft 44 is locked by the electromagnetic brake 50, fixing the angle of the squeegee 8 and ensuring even ink scraping. In actual use, if the forces on the two force sensors 47 are unequal or not close (a specific difference is set for closeness), it indicates that the squeegee 8 has not reached an equilibrium state. Conversely, if the pressures on the two force sensors 47 are equal or close, it indicates that the squeegee 8 can act evenly on the printing screen 11, thus ensuring printing quality. This effect of achieving equilibrium is readily apparent. The first adapting seat 46 and the second adapting seat 48 are guided by a stabilizing rod 49, which reduces the horizontal torque or lateral force on the force sensors 47, protecting them.
[0071] Example 2
[0072] The difference from Example 1 is that, as Figures 14 to 15 As shown, a top frame 21 is provided on the top of the base 1, the printing frame 4 is located on the top frame 21, and a support plate 22 is horizontally provided on the top frame 21. A through hole 23 is provided in the middle of the support plate 22, and the printing screen 11 is located below the through hole 23.
[0073] The bottom of the support plate 22 is horizontally provided with parallel inlet / outlet cylinder 34 and first rail. There are two inlet / outlet cylinder 34 and two first rail on both sides of the through-hole 23, and the first rail is located between the inlet / outlet cylinder 34 and the through-hole 23.
[0074] The bottom of the first rail body is horizontally and movably fastened with an inlet / outlet post 35. A second rail body is horizontally arranged on the side of the inlet / outlet post 35 near the through-hole 23. The longitudinal sections of the first rail body and the second rail body are T-shaped, dovetail-shaped, or Ω-shaped. A telescopic frame 26 is horizontally and movably arranged between the two second rail bodies and is movably fastened to the second rail bodies. The telescopic frame 26 is rectangular. A positioning pin 30 is provided on the top of the telescopic frame 26. A positioning hole 27 that cooperates with the positioning pin 30 is opened on the printing screen frame 10.
[0075] The inlet / outlet column 35 is rotatably provided with a first wheel 36 and a second wheel 37 on the side near the inlet / outlet cylinder 34. A transmission belt 38 is movably sleeved on the outer wall of the first wheel 36 and the second wheel 37. A fixed seat 39 is provided at the bottom of the support plate 22 and is fixedly connected to the top of the transmission belt 38. A transmission part 40 is horizontally fixed at the bottom of the transmission belt 38. The free end of the transmission part 40 is fixedly connected to the telescopic frame 26. A linkage body 41 is provided on the inlet / outlet column 35 and is fixedly connected to the piston rod of the inlet / outlet cylinder 34.
[0076] When cleaning or replacing the printing screen 11, the piston rod of the inlet / outlet cylinder 34 only needs to extend and drive the linkage 41 outward, which in turn drives the inlet / outlet column 35 to move outward. At the same time, since the top of the transmission belt 38 is fixed by the fixed seat 39, the bottom of the transmission belt 38 can move (rotate and move outward at the same time), and drive the telescopic frame 26 outward through the transmission part 40. At the same time, the transmission belt 38, the inlet / outlet column 35 and other structures achieve a doubling of the effect. That is, for example, if the piston rod of the inlet / outlet cylinder 34 only extends by a distance, then the telescopic frame 26 moves outward by a distance b, and b > a. This reduces the length requirement of the inlet / outlet cylinder 34, thus controlling the overall size of the equipment.
[0077] Example 3
[0078] The difference from Embodiment 1 is that the fixing mechanism includes a fixing seat 39, which is fixedly disposed on the outer side of the vertical plate 43. A fixing screw is threadedly connected to the fixing seat 39, and the end of the fixing screw abuts against the outer wall of the swing shaft 44. In initial use, the fixing screw is loosened, at which point the swing shaft 44 can swing, allowing the forces acting on various parts of the printing screen 11 to be relatively close. When the values transmitted by the two force sensors 47 are relatively close, the fixing screw is tightened. At this point, the angles of the first adapting seat 46, the second adapting seat 48, and the doctor blade 8 can be fixed, thereby improving the doctor blade quality.
[0079] It should also be noted that all terms such as "set up" and similar descriptive words in this application (especially the specification) indicate that two structures have or exist a connection relationship. However, the specific means by which the two are connected are not limited in detail, and are usually conventional connection methods. That is, the means should be understood as prior art and do not need to be elaborated. For example, "m is set up with n" only indicates that structure m has structure n, and whether the two are connected by welding, riveting, adhesive, or integral molding is within the scope of protection of this application. Similarly, "x is rotatably set up with y" only indicates that y and x can rotate relative to each other, and whether the two are connected by a bearing, or whether y directly passes through x and is rotatably connected to x, or other feasible methods, are all within the scope of protection of this application.
[0080] The above description is only a description of the preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the scope of the present utility model in any way. Any changes or modifications made by those skilled in the art based on the above disclosure shall fall within the protection scope of the claims.
