Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of printing equipment technology, and in particular to a positioning structure for facilitating the replacement of printing plate rollers. Background Technology
[0002] In the printing industry, printing rollers, as the core components carrying graphic information and realizing ink transfer, directly determine the quality of printed products and production efficiency through their performance and positioning accuracy. With the development of printing technology towards higher speeds, digitalization, and intelligence, printing rollers are showing a diversified development trend: on the one hand, different types of rollers, such as flexographic, gravure, and letterpress rollers, have different focuses in material selection. For example, gravure rollers often use electroplated copper or ceramic coatings to enhance wear resistance, while flexographic rollers pay more attention to the balance between surface hardness and elasticity. On the other hand, roller specifications are constantly being refined, from traditional narrow-width label printing to wide-width packaging printing, with roller diameters ranging from 200-1200mm and lengths from 300-3000mm, to adapt to printing equipment of different sizes. In actual production scenarios, changing printing rollers is a frequent and important operation.
[0003] However, traditional printing plate roller positioning structures have many problems in practical applications:
[0004] 1. The fixing method is cumbersome and relies heavily on bolts and other connecting parts. When changing the printing roller, operators need to use tools to disassemble and install it multiple times, which consumes a lot of time and manpower, resulting in low production efficiency.
[0005] 2. Positioning accuracy is difficult to guarantee, especially when dealing with printing rollers of different specifications. Traditional printing roller positioning structures require repeated manual measurement and adjustment. Even slight deviations can cause inaccurate registration of printed patterns and increase the scrap rate. Utility Model Content
[0006] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a positioning structure that facilitates the replacement of printing plate rollers, which can solve the problems of cumbersome plate roller replacement operation, poor positioning accuracy and lack of versatility in the prior art, so as to achieve fast and accurate plate roller replacement and improve printing production efficiency and quality.
[0007] To achieve the above objectives, a positioning structure for easy replacement of printing plate rollers is provided, including a plate roller, a rotating shaft, a positioning seat, a transmission structure, and a fixing structure;

[0027] Reference Figure 1-4 This utility model provides a positioning structure for easy replacement of printing plate rollers, which includes a plate roller 1, a rotating shaft 2, a positioning seat 3, a transmission structure 4, and a fixing structure 5.
[0028] The printing roller 1 has a rotating shaft 2 inside. The printing roller 1 and the rotating shaft 2 are fixedly connected by fixing bolts. The rotating shaft 2 is installed inside the shaft hole 301 of the positioning seat 3. The positioning seat 3 has a transmission structure 4 and a fixing structure 5 inside. The transmission structure 4 and the fixing structure 5 are connected.
[0029] The two ends of the rotating shaft 2 are provided with annular grooves 201, which are adapted to the ball bearings 504.
[0030] The left end surface of the positioning seat 3 is provided with a shaft hole 301, the inner surface of the shaft hole 301 of the positioning seat 3 is provided with three ball holes 302, and the outer surface of the front end of the positioning seat 3 is provided with a rotating groove 303.
[0031] The transmission structure 4 consists of a worm gear 401, a worm gear groove 402, a worm gear tooth 403, a worm 404, an extension rod 405, and a square groove 406.
[0032] The worm gear 401 is installed inside the positioning seat 3. The front end surface of the worm gear 401 is provided with a worm gear groove 402, and the side surface of the worm gear 401 is provided with worm gear teeth 403. The outer surface of the worm gear teeth 403 is meshed with a worm 404.
[0033] The outer surface of the worm 404 is threaded, and the tail end of the worm 404 is fixedly connected to an extension rod 405. The extension rod 405 is installed inside the rotating groove 303, and the outer surface of the extension rod 405 is provided with a square groove 406.
[0034] The fixed structure 5 consists of a moving block 501, a spring 502, a fixed block 503, and a ball bearing 504.
[0035] The movable block 501 is installed on the front end surface of the worm gear 401. The bottom end of the movable block 501 is provided with a tooth, which is adapted to the groove 402 of the worm gear. A spring 502 is fixedly connected to the inner surface of the movable block 501. A fixed block 503 is fixedly connected to the other end of the spring 502. A steel ball 504 is installed on the other end of the fixed block 503. A groove is provided on the inner surface of the fixed block 503, which is adapted to the ball 504. The connection between the fixed block 503 and the ball 504 is filled with lubricating oil.
[0036] Working principle: When the printing roller 1 needs to be installed, align the printing roller 1 with the rotating shaft 2 on it with the shaft hole 301 of the positioning seat 3, and insert the rotating shaft 2 into the shaft hole 301. At this time, in the initial state, the spring 502 in the fixing structure 5 is in a naturally extended state, pushing the fixing block 503 and the ball bearing 504 to move in the direction of the rotating shaft. The ball bearing 504 is engaged in the annular grooves 201 at both ends of the rotating shaft 2, thus achieving the initial fixation of the rotating shaft 2 and the printing roller 1.
[0037] If further adjustment or reinforcement is needed, a tool can be inserted into the square groove 406 of the extension rod 405, and the extension rod 405 can be rotated to drive the worm 404 to rotate within the rotating groove 303. Since the worm 404 meshes with the worm gear teeth 403 of the worm wheel 401, the rotation of the worm 404 will drive the worm wheel 401 to rotate. When the worm wheel 401 rotates, the worm gear groove 402 on its front end surface interacts with the convex teeth at the bottom of the moving block 501, causing the moving block 501 to move. The movement of the moving block 501 will compress or stretch the spring 502, thereby adjusting the pressure of the ball 504 on the rotating shaft 2 through the fixing block 503, so that the ball 504 is more tightly engaged in the annular groove 201, enhancing the fixing effect.
[0038] When the printing roller 1 needs to be replaced, the extension rod 405 is rotated in the opposite direction, which drives the worm gear 401 to rotate in the opposite direction through the transmission structure 4, causing the moving block 501 to move in the opposite direction. The spring 502 returns to its original state or is stretched, and the ball 504 is disengaged from the annular groove 201 of the rotating shaft 2 under the drive of the fixed block 503. At this time, the rotating shaft 2 and the printing roller 1 can be pulled out from the shaft hole 301 of the positioning seat 3 to complete the disassembly.
[0039] The embodiments of the present utility model have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art, various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of the present utility model.
