Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of UV printing technology, specifically to an alternating tooling for a UV printing device for electronic cigarette casings. Background Technology
[0002] UV printing is a digital printing technology that uses ultraviolet (UV) light to cure inks. Its core principle is that UV ink is sprayed onto the substrate surface through a printhead, and then irradiated with a UV light source, causing the photosensitive resin in the ink to instantly cure, forming a vibrant and strongly adhesive pattern. Compared to traditional printing methods (such as screen printing and inkjet printing), UV printing eliminates the need for plate making, enabling direct, personalized, and high-precision printing, and is applicable to a wide range of materials.
[0003] Chinese patent application CN205523093U discloses a mosaic UV printer, including a base and a UV printing device. A printing platform is arranged above the base, and a control console is arranged at the front end of the printing platform. A control panel is arranged on the control console. Slides are arranged on both sides of the printing platform, and slides are provided on the slides. The UV printing device is located on the base and includes a printhead holder, a material storage box, and a carriage. The printhead holder is located inside the UV printing device and has one or more printheads. The material storage box is located above the UV printing device. The carriage is located above the base and is movably connected to the slides. A guide rail is provided on the carriage. The aforementioned UV printer's printing device can only move horizontally. Therefore, staff need to manually place the items to be printed onto the path of the printing device for normal printing. When UV printing on batches of items, staff need to frequently move and transport the items, increasing their workload and reducing the efficiency of UV printing. Utility Model Content
