Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of iron pipe production and processing, specifically to a coating machine for printing iron cans. Background Technology

[0002] The background technology of coating machines for printed tin cans mainly stems from the need for surface decoration and protection of metal packaging containers. Traditional processes, using manual spraying or roller coating, suffer from problems such as uneven coating, low efficiency, and solvent evaporation pollution. With the development of tin printing technology, automated coating equipment emerged in the mid-20th century. This equipment uses conveyor belts to transport tin sheets and combines precision metering pumps with spraying / roller coating systems to achieve continuous operation. Early models, limited by mechanical precision and control systems, still exhibited defects such as film thickness fluctuations (above ±2μm) and pattern registration deviations (0.1-0.3mm). After 2000, the application of servo drive technology and UV curing processes significantly improved coating accuracy (up to ±0.5μm) and drying efficiency (3-5 seconds curing). However, technical bottlenecks remain when printing on curved surfaces of irregularly shaped cans (such as conical and necked cans), including edge paint buildup and dot loss. Current technological trends focus on the integrated application of high-precision electrostatic spraying (atomized particles ≤20μm), nano-coating self-leveling technology, and machine vision-based online inspection systems (detection accuracy 0.01mm). Application number CN201921216379.4 discloses a coating machine for printing on tin cans, including a coating machine body and a support frame set at the bottom of the coating machine body. A clamping mechanism is installed inside the support frame. The clamping mechanism is rotatably mounted on turntables on both sides. The turntable on one side of the clamping mechanism is rotatably mounted to the corresponding support frame via a bearing component. A piston push rod is connected to the turntable on the other side of the clamping mechanism, away from the clamping mechanism. The clamping mechanism is used to clamp the tin can. This invention solves the problem of the limited use of clamping mechanisms for clamping tin cans on coating machines. Through the clamping between the upper and lower clamping blocks, the position of the tin can built into the clamping blocks can be fixed, expanding the application range of the coating machine and enhancing its practicality. However, a shortcoming exists: the device cannot perform drying immediately after coating is completed, which may cause material to fall off the outside of the tin can after a certain period of time.

When the iron can is transported to the bottom end of the conveyor belt 203...

[0033] The pushing component 3 includes a pneumatic telescopic pump 301, which is fixedly installed on the bottom of the side plates on both sides of the conveyor belt 203 via a bracket.

A rotary motor 404 is fixedly mounted on the outer side of the outer wall of the lifting slide plate 403. A sprayer 405 is fixedly mounted on the bottom of the rotary motor 404. A metal can 306 is correspondingly set at the bottom of the sprayer 405. When the air pump 402 mounted on the mounting clip 401 on the top outer wall of the bracket 103 operates, it drives the lifting slide plate 403 to descend on the slide rail of the mounting clip 401. At the same time, the rotary motor 404 starts, driving the sprayer 405 to rotate and spray paint onto the surface of the positioned metal can 306.

[0035] The smoothing assembly 5 includes a pneumatic push rod 501, which is mounted on the top of the bracket 104 via a fastener. A movable mounting plate 502 is fixedly mounted at the end of the pneumatic push rod 501. The movable mounting plate 502 is slidably mounted on a slide rail on the outer top wall of the bracket 104. An air pump 503 is fixedly mounted at the outer end of the movable mounting plate 502. A lifting slide plate 504 is fixedly mounted at the bottom of the air pump 503 and slidably mounted on the movable mounting plate 504. The outer wall slide rail of 502, and the outer side of the lifting slide plate 2 504 is fixedly installed with the coating roller shaft 505 by the rotating mechanism. The pneumatic push rod 1 501 at the top of the bracket 2 104 pushes the movable mounting plate 1 502 to move on the top slide rail of the bracket 2 104, so that the air pump 2 503 drives the lifting slide plate 2 504 and the coating roller shaft 505 to move to a suitable position above the iron can 306. The air pump 2 503 controls the lifting slide plate 2 504 to descend, and the coating roller shaft 505 performs a smoothing operation on the coating sprayed on the surface of the iron can.

[0036] A solid-state light 605 is fixedly installed on the outside of the lifting slide plate 3604. The pneumatic push rod 2601 on the top of the bracket 3105 pushes the movable mounting plate 2602 to slide on the top slide rail of the bracket 3105. The pneumatic pump 3603 drives the lifting slide plate 3604 to descend, so that the solid-state light 605 on the outside of the lifting slide plate 3604 is close to the iron can 306. The light emitted by the solid-state light 605 dries the coating on the surface of the iron can.

[0037] The coating machine for printing tin cans provides stable support for the whole through the support box assembly 1, and realizes the transmission and positioning of tin cans through the conveying assembly 2 and the pushing assembly 3. The spraying assembly 4, the spreading assembly 5 and the drying assembly 6 complete the spraying, spreading and drying operations of the coating on the surface of the tin can. Each component works in coordination with mechanical structures and pneumatic and electric devices to achieve an automated coating process. During operation, the tin can is first placed on the conveyor belt 203. The transmission device 202 drives the conveyor belt 203, and the limiting clamps 204 on both sides limit the tin can, ensuring its smooth transport along the conveyor belt 203 to the bottom. When the tin can reaches the bottom of the conveyor belt 203, the pneumatic telescopic pump 301 starts, pushing the support column 303 via the push rod 302. The movable slide plate 304 at the bottom of the support column 303 slides on the limiting slide rail 305, pushing the tin can 306 on the top support plate of the support column 303 to the corresponding position below the spraying assembly 4. The air pump 402, mounted on the mounting clamp 401 on the top outer wall of the bracket 103, operates, causing the lifting slide plate 403 to descend on the slide rail of the mounting clamp 401. Simultaneously, the rotary motor 404 starts. The spraying machine 405 rotates to spray paint onto the positioned surface of the tin can 306. After spraying, the pneumatic push rod 501 on the top of the second bracket 104 pushes the movable mounting plate 502 to move on the top slide rail of the second bracket 104. This causes the air pump 503 to move the lifting slide plate 504 and the coating roller 505 to a suitable position above the tin can 306. The air pump 503 controls the lifting slide plate 504 to descend, and the coating roller 505 spreads the paint evenly on the surface of the tin can. After the spreading process is completed, the pneumatic push rod 601 on the top of the third bracket 105 pushes the movable mounting plate 602 to slide on the top slide rail of the third bracket 105. The pneumatic pump 603 drives the lifting slide plate 604 to descend, bringing the solid-state lamp 605 on the outside of the lifting slide plate 604 closer to the tin can 306. The light emitted by the solid-state lamp 605 dries the paint on the surface of the tin can. After drying, the above process can be repeated for the next tin can.
