Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of printing and post-press processing technology, and in particular to a digital post-press efficiency enhancement device. Background Technology

[0002] Post-press equipment refers to a large category of equipment that further processes printed semi-finished products, enhancing or beautifying them in terms of binding, appearance, flatness, anti-counterfeiting, packaging, and other aspects. Among these, post-press enhancement surface treatment processes include varnishing, laser engraving, and hot stamping. These processes can enhance the gloss and smoothness of printed products, improve their premium feel, and protect the printed images and text while extending their lifespan.

[0003] Existing post-press enhancement equipment typically requires applying varnish to the printed material through plate making when achieving localized enhancements, a method that incurs high costs. Furthermore, the generally required paper weight is above 157 grams, limiting its applicability. Since processes such as varnishing, laser engraving, and hot stamping cannot be completed simultaneously on the same machine, printing manufacturers need to purchase multiple machines to meet different process requirements.

[0004] To address the aforementioned issues, there is an urgent need to develop a digital post-press enhancement device to achieve efficient and flexible integration of post-press enhancement processes. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of some existing post-press enhancement equipment, such as high cost due to plate making required for local enhancement, narrow paper weight limitation range, and inability to integrate multiple processes on the same equipment, and to provide a digital post-press enhancement equipment.

[0006] The purpose of this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution: a digital post-printing efficiency enhancement device, including a base frame, on which a paper feeding unit, a paper feeding board, a roller unit, a varnishing unit, a curing module, an efficiency enhancement unit, a paper support strip, and a paper receiving unit are installed;

[0007] The roller section is used to move the printed matter along a predetermined path. The varnishing section is located above the roller section and is responsible for applying varnish to the printed matter in a localized manner. The curing module is located downstream of the varnishing section and is responsible for curing the varnished printed matter. The enhancement section is located downstream of the curing module and is responsible for imprinting patterns or textures onto the surface of the printed matter to enhance its appearance.

[0008] The discharge end of the roller section is connected to the receiving section via a paper support strip. The paper support strip is responsible for cooperating with the receiving gripper bar to deliver the completed printed materials to the receiving section.

[0009] By incorporating a roller section to move the printed material along a predetermined path, and then sequentially completing the varnishing, curing, and enhancement operations through the varnishing section, curing module, and enhancement section, the system achieves localized enhancement without the need for plate making, reducing production costs. It also supports the handling of low-grammage paper, expanding its applicability. Integrating varnishing, curing, and enhancement functions into one unit avoids the complexity of switching between multiple machines, thus improving production efficiency.

[0010] A further technical solution is that the roller section includes a negative pressure roller gear, a negative pressure roller, a paper conveying roller gear, a drive gear, a paper receiving gear, a wall panel, a servo motor, a paper conveying roller, and a paper receiving roller. The negative pressure roller, the paper conveying roller, and the paper receiving roller are all rotatably mounted on the wall panel. The negative pressure roller has a vacuum chamber inside and is connected to an external vacuum pump through a pipe. The outer surface of the negative pressure roller has multiple suction holes. The paper conveying roller is located between the negative pressure roller and the paper receiving roller. The paper conveying roller is responsible for transferring the printed material from the output end of the negative pressure roller to the paper receiving roller. The paper receiving roller is responsible for conveying the printed material to the paper receiving section.

[0011] The negative pressure roller, the paper feed roller, and the paper take-up roller are respectively connected to a negative pressure roller gear, a paper feed roller gear, and a paper take-up gear on one side. The paper feed roller gear is connected to the negative pressure roller gear and the paper take-up gear respectively. A servo motor is installed on the wall panel. The power output end of the servo motor is equipped with a drive gear. The drive gear is connected to the paper feed roller gear. The wall panel is installed on the bottom frame.

[0012] By connecting the suction holes and vacuum chamber on the negative pressure roller to an external vacuum pump, the flattening effect and stability of the printed matter on the negative pressure roller are improved, preventing the printed matter from shifting during the transport process. Furthermore, the negative pressure roller, paper feed roller, and paper take-up roller work together to drive the printed matter to move stably along a predetermined path, ensuring the stability of the equipment operation.

[0013] A further technical solution is that the curing module includes a pre-curing lamp and a main curing lamp, which are arranged sequentially along the printed material transport path. By setting up the pre-curing lamp and the main curing lamp, it can be ensured that the printed material after varnishing undergoes a staged curing process, effectively improving the curing effect of varnishing.

[0014] A further technical solution is that the efficiency enhancement unit includes a main pressure roller, a peeling roller, a film path, an unwinding mechanism, and a winding mechanism. The main pressure roller and the peeling roller are located on the sides of the negative pressure roller. The main pressure roller is responsible for imprinting the pattern on the film onto the surface of the printed matter. The peeling roller is responsible for separating the film from the printed matter. The film path is responsible for conveying the film. The unwinding mechanism and the winding mechanism are located at both ends of the film path and are connected to an external power source.

[0015] A further technical solution is that the paper feeding section and the paper feeding board are located on one side of the cylinder section, and the paper feeding section feeds the printed matter to be processed into the cylinder section through the paper feeding board.

[0016] This invention has the following advantages: By setting up a roller section to move the printed material along a predetermined path, the varnishing, curing, and enhancement operations are completed sequentially through the varnishing section, curing module, and enhancement section. This achieves the function of partial enhancement without plate making, reducing production costs. It also supports the processing of low-grammage paper, expanding its applicability. By integrating varnishing, curing, and enhancement functions into one unit, the complexity of switching between multiple machines is avoided, improving production efficiency.

[0029] like Figures 1-5 As shown, a digital post-printing enhancement device includes a base frame 1, on which a paper feeding unit 3, a paper feeding board 4, a roller unit 5, a varnishing unit 6, a curing module, an enhancement unit 9, a paper support strip 10, and a paper receiving unit 2 are installed.

[0030] The roller section 5 is used to drive the printed matter to move along a predetermined path. The varnishing section 6 is located above the roller section 5 and is responsible for performing local varnishing on the printed matter. The curing module is located downstream of the varnishing section 6 and is responsible for curing the varnished printed matter. The enhancement section 9 is located downstream of the curing module and is responsible for imprinting patterns or textures onto the surface of the printed matter to enhance its effect.

[0031] The discharge end of the roller section 5 is connected to the receiving section 2 via the paper support strip 10. The paper support strip 10 is responsible for cooperating with the paper receiving gripper to deliver the completed printed materials to the receiving section 2.

[0032] By using a roller unit 5 to move the printed material along a predetermined path, the varnishing unit 6, curing module, and enhancement unit 9 sequentially complete the varnishing, curing, and enhancement operations. This achieves the function of partial enhancement without plate making, reducing production costs and supporting the processing of low-grammage paper, thus expanding its applicability. By integrating varnishing, curing, and enhancement functions into one unit, the complexity of switching between multiple machines is avoided, improving production efficiency.

[0033] A further technical solution is that the roller section 5 includes a negative pressure roller gear 501, a negative pressure roller 502, a paper transfer roller gear 503, a drive gear 504, a paper take-up gear 505, a wall plate 506, a servo motor 507, a paper transfer roller 508, and a paper take-up roller 509. The negative pressure roller 502, the paper transfer roller 508, and the paper take-up roller 509 are all rotatably mounted on the wall plate 506. The negative pressure roller 502 has a vacuum chamber inside and is connected to an external vacuum pump through a pipe. The outer surface of the negative pressure roller 502 has multiple adsorption holes. The paper transfer roller 508 is located between the negative pressure roller 502 and the paper take-up roller 509. The paper transfer roller 508 is responsible for transmitting the printed material from the output end of the negative pressure roller 502 to the paper take-up roller 509. The paper take-up roller 509 is responsible for conveying the printed material to the paper take-up section 2.

[0034] A negative pressure roller 502, a paper feed roller 508, and a paper take-up roller 509 are respectively connected to a negative pressure roller gear 501, a paper feed roller gear 503, and a paper take-up gear 505 on one side. The paper feed roller gear 503 is connected to the negative pressure roller gear 501 and the paper take-up gear 505 respectively. A servo motor 507 is installed on the wall panel 506. A drive gear 504 is installed at the power output end of the servo motor 507. The drive gear 504 is connected to the paper feed roller gear 503. The wall panel 506 is installed on the bottom frame 1.

[0035] By connecting the suction holes and vacuum chamber on the negative pressure roller 502 to an external vacuum pump, the flattening effect and stability of the printed matter on the negative pressure roller 502 are improved, preventing the printed matter from shifting during the transport process. Furthermore, the negative pressure roller 502, the paper conveying roller 508, and the paper receiving roller 509 work together to drive the printed matter to move stably along a predetermined path, ensuring the stability of the equipment operation.

[0036] The curing module includes a pre-curing lamp 7 and a main curing lamp 8, which are arranged sequentially along the printing material transport path. By setting the pre-curing lamp 7 and the main curing lamp 8, it is possible to ensure that the printed material after varnishing undergoes a staged curing process, which effectively improves the curing effect of varnishing.

[0037] The enhancement unit 9 includes a main pressure roller 11, a peeling pressure roller 12, a film path 13, an unwinding mechanism 14, and a winding mechanism 15. The main pressure roller 11 and the peeling pressure roller 12 are located on the sides of the negative pressure roller 502. The main pressure roller 11 is responsible for imprinting the pattern on the film onto the surface of the printed matter. The peeling pressure roller 12 is responsible for separating the film from the printed matter. The film path 13 is responsible for conveying the film. The unwinding mechanism 14 and the winding mechanism 15 are located at both ends of the film path 13, and the unwinding mechanism 14 and the winding mechanism 15 are connected to an external power source.

[0038] The paper feeding section 3 and the paper feeding board 4 are located on one side of the roller section 5. The paper feeding section 3 feeds the printed matter to be processed into the negative pressure roller 502 through the paper feeding board 4.

[0039] The working process of this utility model is as follows: First, the paper feeding section 3 and the paper feeding board 4 cooperate to feed the printed matter to be processed into the roller section 5. The adsorption holes and vacuum chamber on the negative pressure roller 502 cooperate with the external vacuum pump to stably fix the printed matter on the negative pressure roller 502. Then, the varnishing section 6 set above the roller section 5 is responsible for performing local varnishing treatment on the printed matter. After varnishing, the pre-curing lamp 7 and the main curing lamp 8 arranged in sequence along the printed matter transport path cure the printed matter in stages. At the same time, the unwinding mechanism 14 and the winding mechanism 15 on the other side of the enhancement section 9 cooperate to transport the film along the film path 13 to one side of the negative pressure roller 502. The main pressure roller 11 on one side of the negative pressure roller 502 is responsible for pressing the pattern on the film onto the surface of the printed matter. The peeling pressure roller 12 is responsible for separating the film from the printed matter. Finally, the separated film is recycled to the winding mechanism 15. The processed printed matter is then transported to the receiving section 2 through the cooperation of the paper transfer roller 508, the paper receiving roller 509 and the paper support strip 10.
