Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of printing consumables production equipment, and in particular to an ink cartridge marking branding machine. Background Technology
[0002] In the field of printing consumables manufacturing, ink cartridges, as one of the core consumables, typically require their outer walls to be marked with key information such as product model, production batch, and brand information to facilitate production traceability, quality control, and subsequent market distribution management. Currently, the main methods for marking ink cartridges in the industry include traditional processes such as labeling and inkjet printing, but these processes have significant limitations in practical applications: 1. From the perspective of labeling process, it relies on manual or semi-automatic equipment to paste pre-made labels onto the surface of ink cartridges. On the one hand, manual operation not only requires a large investment of manpower, but also makes it difficult to ensure the consistency of label pasting position, and problems such as misalignment and wrinkles are prone to occur, affecting the neatness of the product appearance. On the other hand, the adhesion between the label and the surface of the ink cartridge is greatly affected by factors such as environmental temperature and humidity and pasting pressure. During long-term storage or use, the label is prone to falling off and wear, resulting in the loss of identification information and making it impossible to achieve long-term effective product traceability.
[0003] 2. Although inkjet printing has achieved a certain degree of automation, the printed markings have poor abrasion resistance. During the handling, assembly, and subsequent use of ink cartridges, the markings are easily damaged by friction. At the same time, inkjet printing requires the use of special inks, which increases production costs due to ink consumption. In addition, some inks may have environmental issues, which is not in line with the current industry trend of green production. 3. In addition, both labeling and inkjet printing have low levels of automation integration, making it difficult to seamlessly integrate with ink cartridge production lines, which limits production efficiency and fails to meet the demand for large-scale, high-efficiency ink cartridge production.
[0004] Therefore, developing an ink cartridge marking device that can achieve efficient, stable, and durable marking and is compatible with production lines has become an urgent technical problem to be solved in the current printing consumables production field. Utility Model Content
