Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of plate printing material feeding technology, and specifically relates to a plate printing device with automatic feeding and waste recycling functions. Background Technology
[0002] Plate printing is a process that uses specific printing techniques to transfer ink or other printing materials to the surface of various plates, thereby forming printed content such as patterns, text, and logos. These plates cover a variety of materials, including metal plates, plastic plates, wood plates, and glass plates, and are widely used in different production and life fields. For example, in the advertising production industry, metal plates and plastic plates, after being printed, become billboards and signs that display corporate image and convey commercial information.
[0003] If defective products are found during the loading process, such as scratches on the printing plate, the defective plates will severely degrade the printing quality when they enter the printing process. For example, scratches, unevenness, and other defects on the plate surface will cause uneven ink adhesion during the printing process, resulting in blurry printed patterns, color deviations, and localized ink shortages. This seriously affects the visual effect and quality of the printed products, which will not only lead to the scrapping of a large number of printed products and increase production costs, but may also damage the company's market reputation due to product quality issues.
[0004] No effective solutions have yet been proposed to address the problems in the relevant technologies. Utility Model Content
[0005] In view of the problems in the related technologies, this utility model proposes a printing plate device with automatic feeding and waste recycling functions to overcome the above-mentioned technical problems existing in the existing related technologies.
[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:
[0007] This utility model relates to a printing plate device with automatic feeding and waste recycling functions, including a worktable, a printing machine mounted on the top of the worktable, a support frame mounted on the end of the worktable away from the printing machine, a stroke mechanism mounted on the support frame, a moving mechanism mounted on the stroke mechanism, a cylinder fixedly mounted on the end of the moving mechanism away from the stroke mechanism, a connecting mechanism mounted on the telescopic end of the cylinder, a plurality of suction cups mounted on the connecting mechanism, a feeding platform and a waste platform connected sequentially to the right end of the worktable, and a visual recognition sensor mounted on the connecting mechanism;
[0008] The waste platform is equipped with a waste placement mechanism on top. The waste placement mechanism includes a shell, and a movable plate is installed inside the shell. Sliding rods are fixedly connected to the four corners of the bottom of the movable plate. All four sliding rods are slidably installed with the shell. Elastic elements are sleeved on the outside of the four sliding rods. The top of the elastic element is fixedly connected to the bottom of the movable plate, and the bottom of the elastic element is fixedly connected to the bottom of the shell.
[0009] A contact sensor is installed at the center of the bottom of the housing, a waste collection box is provided on the top of the moving plate, and a buzzer is installed at one end of the outer wall of the housing.
[0010] Furthermore, the outer casing has four circular holes, through which the sliding rod extends to the bottom of the outer casing.
[0011] Furthermore, each of the four sliding rods is equipped with an anti-detachment block at the end furthest from the moving plate.
[0012] Furthermore, the travel mechanism includes two synchronous pulleys, both of which are rotatably mounted on the inner wall of the support frame, and the two synchronous pulleys are connected by a synchronous belt drive.
[0013] Furthermore, a servo motor is fixedly mounted on one of the two synchronous pulleys, and the servo motor is fixedly mounted on the support frame.
[0014] Furthermore, the moving mechanism includes a moving arm and a moving block, the moving arm being fixedly installed with the moving block, and the moving block being fixedly installed with the cylinder.
[0015] Furthermore, the connecting mechanism includes a fixed beam, which is installed at the telescopic end of the cylinder, and several connecting beams are installed at the bottom of the fixed beam.
[0016] Furthermore, the visual recognition sensor is mounted on the connecting beam at the central position, and several suction cups are respectively mounted on several of the connecting beams.
[0017] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0018] When a defective printing plate is detected, the control system controls the travel mechanism and the moving mechanism to move the defective printing plate above the waste platform. Then, the cylinder extends and uses a suction cup to place the defective printing plate into the waste collection box on top of the waste platform, thereby collecting the waste and preventing the defective printing plate from entering the printing process and causing a serious decline in printing quality.
[0019] As waste is continuously added, the weight of the waste collection box increases, causing the moving plate to move downwards. The sliding rod slides inside the outer shell, and the moving plate compresses the elastic element. When the moving plate descends to a certain extent and touches the contact sensor in the center of the outer shell, the contact sensor transmits a signal to the control system. The control system then triggers a buzzer alarm, indicating to the staff that the waste collection box is full and needs to be replaced or cleaned.
[0020] Of course, any product implementing this utility model does not necessarily need to achieve all of the advantages described above at the same time. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation
[0031] The technical solutions of the utility model embodiments will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the utility model.
[0032] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the terms "opening", "upper", "lower", "top", "middle", "inner", etc., which indicate orientation or positional relationship, are only for the convenience of describing the utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the components or elements referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on the utility model.
[0033] Please see Figures 1-7 As shown, this utility model is a printing plate device with automatic feeding and waste recycling functions, including a workbench 1, a printing machine 2 installed on the top of the workbench 1, a support frame 3 installed at the end of the workbench 1 away from the printing machine 2, a stroke mechanism 4 installed on the support frame 3, a moving mechanism 5 installed on the stroke mechanism 4, a cylinder 6 fixedly installed at the end of the moving mechanism 5 away from the stroke mechanism 4, a connecting mechanism 7 installed at the telescopic end of the cylinder 6, a plurality of suction cups 8 installed on the connecting mechanism 7, a feeding platform 9 and a waste platform 10 connected sequentially to the right end of the workbench 1, and a visual recognition sensor 11 installed on the connecting mechanism 7;
[0034] The waste platform 10 is equipped with a waste placement mechanism 12 on its top. The waste placement mechanism 12 includes a housing 1201. A movable plate 1202 is installed inside the housing 1201. Sliding rods 1203 are fixedly connected to the four corners of the bottom of the movable plate 1202. All four sliding rods 1203 are slidably installed with the housing 1201. Elastic elements 1204 are sleeved on the outside of each of the four sliding rods 1203. The top end of the elastic element 1204 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the movable plate 1202, and the bottom end of the elastic element 1204 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the inner wall of the housing 1201.
[0035] A contact sensor 13 is installed at the bottom center of the housing 1201, a waste collection box 14 is provided on the top of the moving plate 1202, and a buzzer 15 is installed on the outer wall of the housing 1201.
[0036] The printing plate is placed on the loading platform 9. The stroke mechanism 4 drives the moving mechanism 5 to move. The moving mechanism 5 moves the cylinder 6, connecting mechanism 7, suction cup 8, and vision recognition sensor 11 above the loading platform 9, that is, above the picking station. The vision recognition sensor 11 (model XG-X1000) on the connecting mechanism 7 detects the printing plate and identifies whether there are scratches or other defects on the surface. Then, the cylinder 6 extends, causing the connecting mechanism 7 to move down. The suction cup 8 connected to it contacts the printing plate and picks it up. The cylinder 6 retracts. During the process of the suction cup 8 picking up the printing plate, the cylinder 6 will rapidly and repeatedly extend and retract to prevent the picked-up printing plate from sticking to the printing plate below. The visual recognition sensor 11 will transmit the recognition signal to the control system (the control system is existing technology and will not be described in detail here). After receiving the defective printing plate signal, if no defective printing plate is detected, the control system controls the stroke mechanism 4 to move the printing plate to the printing press 2. The suction cup 8 then places the printing plate on the printing press 2 (the printing press 2 is existing technology and is not intended to be used in this invention). The innovative aspects of the solution (which will not be elaborated upon here) are implemented during printing. If a defective plate is detected, the control system will control the travel mechanism 4 and the moving mechanism 5 to move the defective plate above the waste table 10. Then, the cylinder 6 extends and uses the suction cup 8 to place the defective plate into the waste collection box 14 at the top of the waste table 10, thereby collecting the waste and preventing defective plates from entering the printing process and causing a serious decline in printing quality. As waste is continuously added, the weight of the waste collection box 14 increases, pressing the moving plate 1202 downward and the sliding rod 120... 3. Sliding inside the housing 1201, the moving plate 1202 compresses the elastic element 1204 (preferably a spring). When the moving plate 1202 descends to a certain extent and touches the contact sensor 13 (model S2-CS078) at the center of the housing 1201, the contact sensor 13 will transmit a signal to the control system. The control system will trigger the buzzer 15 (model TMB12A03) to alarm, reminding the staff that the waste collection box 14 is full and needs to be replaced or cleaned.
[0037] In one embodiment, the outer casing 1201 has four circular holes, and the sliding rod 1203 passes through the circular holes and extends to the bottom of the outer casing 1201.
[0038] The circular hole provides guidance for the movement of the sliding rod 1203, ensuring that the sliding rod 1203 can only move in the vertical direction, thus avoiding deviation or wobbling during the sliding process.
[0039] In one embodiment, for the aforementioned sliding rods 1203, each of the four sliding rods 1203 has an anti-detachment block 1205 installed at the end away from the moving plate 1202.
[0040] The function of the anti-detachment block 1205 is to prevent the sliding rod 1203 from sliding excessively and detaching from the round hole after the defective plate is removed and the elastic element 1204 is released.
[0041] In one embodiment, the stroke mechanism 4 includes two synchronous pulleys 401, both of which are rotatably mounted on the inner wall of the support frame 3, and are connected by a synchronous belt 402.
[0042] A servo motor 403 is fixedly mounted on one of the two synchronous pulleys 401, and the servo motor 403 is fixedly mounted on the support frame 3.
[0043] The moving mechanism 5 includes a moving arm 501 and a moving block 502. The moving arm 501 is fixedly installed with the moving block 502, and the moving block 502 is fixedly installed with the cylinder 6.
[0044] When it is necessary to move the printing plate from one position to another, servo motor 403 (servo motor 403) When the model (HG-KR73B) is started, the servo motor 403 is fixed on the support frame 3. The output shaft of the servo motor 403 drives the synchronous pulley 401 fixed thereto to rotate. Since the two synchronous pulleys 401 are connected by a synchronous belt 402, the rotating synchronous pulley 401 will drive the other synchronous pulley 401 to rotate synchronously through the synchronous belt 402. The synchronous belt 402 is fixedly connected to the moving arm 501, and the moving arm 501 is slidably installed to the support frame 3. During the transmission process, the synchronous belt 402 will drive the moving arm 501 to move horizontally along the support frame 3. The support frame 3 provides guiding support for the movement of the moving arm 501. Since the moving block 502 is fixedly installed to the moving arm 501, the movement of the moving arm 501 will drive the moving block 502 to move synchronously. At the same time, the moving block 502 is fixedly installed to the cylinder 6, thereby realizing the horizontal position control of the cylinder 6, the connecting mechanism 7 and the suction cup 8.
[0045] In one embodiment, the connecting mechanism 7 includes a fixed beam 701, which is installed at the telescopic end of the cylinder 6, and a plurality of connecting beams 702 are installed at the bottom of the fixed beam 701.
[0046] The visual recognition sensor 11 is mounted on the connecting beam 702 at the central position, and a plurality of suction cups 8 are respectively mounted on a plurality of the connecting beams 702.
[0047] The fixed beam 701 is installed at the telescopic end of the cylinder 6. When the cylinder 6 telescopically extends or retracts, the fixed beam 701 moves up and down accordingly. Several connecting beams 702 are installed at the bottom of the fixed beam 701 to support the suction cup 8. This allows the fixed beam 701 to drive the connecting beams 702, suction cup 8, and visual recognition sensor 11 at the bottom to rise and fall synchronously. The suction cup 8 generates suction through a vacuum system to firmly adhere the plate material.
[0048] Working Principle: After the printing plate is placed on the loading platform 9, the servo motor 403 drives the synchronous wheel 401 and synchronous belt 402 to rotate, causing the moving arm 501 and moving block 502 to move horizontally. This moves the cylinder 6, fixed beam 701, several connecting beams 702, several suction cups 8, and visual recognition sensor 11 mounted on the moving block 502 above the loading platform 9. The visual recognition sensor 11 identifies whether there are scratches or other defects on the surface of the printing plate. Then, the cylinder 6 extends, causing the fixed beam 701 and connecting beams 702 to move downwards. The suction cups 8 use vacuum suction to adsorb the printing plate. Then, the cylinder 6 retracts and performs multiple rapid extension and retraction movements to prevent the printing plate from sticking. The visual recognition sensor 11 transmits the identified signal to the control system. After receiving the defective printing plate signal, if the printing plate is qualified, the control system controls the servo motor 403 to reverse and move the qualified printing plate above the printing press 2. Then, the cylinder 6 is activated to move downwards again, and the suction cups 8 release the printing plate to complete the loading process.
[0049] If a defective plate is detected, the control system controls the servo motor 403 to start and move the defective plate to the waste platform 10. The cylinder 6 extends and places the plate into the waste collection box 14. Then, it grabs a new plate. As the waste increases, the waste collection box 14 moves the moving plate 1202 downward due to its own gravity. The sliding rod 1203 slides vertically along the round hole of the outer shell 1201. The moving plate 1202 compresses the elastic element 1204. When the moving plate 1202 touches the contact sensor 13, the system triggers the buzzer 15 to alarm, prompting the staff to clean up the waste.
