Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of mouse printing technology, and more specifically, to an automatic pad printing machine for mouse production. Background Technology
[0002] Pad printing machines are special printing equipment that can perform high-precision pattern transfer on curved, uneven, or irregular surfaces. They use a soft silicone head to "transfer" ink patterns etched on a steel plate and press them onto the workpiece. They are suitable for logos, characters, and fine graphics on irregular surfaces such as mouse shells and buttons. They are characterized by accurate color registration, high speed, and strong adaptability, and are a common solution for small-area multi-color marking of consumer electronics.
[0003] Because mice undergo multiple processing steps before pad printing, their surfaces are prone to dust and other dirt. When the silicone pad of the pad printing machine comes into contact with the mouse and prints on it, the silicone pad easily picks up the dirt from the mouse's surface, affecting the subsequent printing quality and shortening the lifespan of the silicone pad. Utility Model Content
[0004] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, the purpose of this utility model is to provide an automatic pad printing machine for mouse production.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an automatic pad printing machine for mouse production, comprising a pad printing machine body and a drive assembly; A tray is fixedly connected to the body of the pad printing machine. A material tray is rotatably connected to the tray. Multiple positioning molds are fixedly connected to the material tray. A cross arm is provided above the tray. A first motor is installed on the cross arm. The output shaft of the first motor passes through the cross arm and is fixedly connected to a brush plate. Brush bristles are fixedly connected to the lower end face of the brush plate. The drive assembly is mounted on the tray and is used to drive the material tray to rotate.
[0006] Preferably, the driving assembly includes a second motor, sliders, and a ring rail. The second motor is mounted on the pallet, and the output shaft of the second motor passes through the pallet and is fixedly connected to the tray. Multiple sliders are fixedly connected to the tray, and the multiple sliders are slidably connected to the ring rail. The ring rail is fixedly connected to the pallet.
[0007] Preferably, a collection cover is fitted on the brush disc, the collection cover is fixedly connected to the cross arm, an annular air duct is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the collection cover, the annular air duct has multiple dust suction ports, all of which face the brush bristles, a fan is installed on the cross arm, and the air inlet of the fan is connected to the annular air duct through an air pipe.

[0009] Preferably, a guide rod is slidably connected to the cross arm, one end of the guide rod is fixedly connected to the support plate, an electric cylinder is mounted on the support plate, and the piston rod of the electric cylinder is fixedly connected to the cross arm.
[0010] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: 1. When the positioning mold rotates the mouse to the underside of the brush bristles, the first motor drives the brush plate to rotate, which in turn drives the brush bristles to rotate. The brush bristles can then clean the surface of the mouse, preventing the silicone head from getting dirty and ensuring the quality of subsequent printing and extending the lifespan of the silicone head. 2. By covering the brush bristles with a collection cover and starting the fan, the dust swept down by the brush bristles can be sucked into the annular air duct through multiple suction ports, preventing the dust from scattering everywhere.

[0017] Reference Figures 1 to 5 This utility model provides a technical solution: an automatic pad printing machine for mouse production, including a pad printing machine body 1 and a drive component; The silicone head and other structures required for printing on the pad printing machine body 1 are all existing technologies and will not be described in detail here. A tray 2 is fixedly connected to the body 1 of the pad printing machine. A material tray 3 is rotatably connected to the tray 2. Multiple positioning molds 4 are fixedly connected to the material tray 3. A cross arm 5 is provided above the tray 2. A first motor 6 is installed on the cross arm 5. The output shaft of the first motor 6 passes through the cross arm 5 and is fixedly connected to a brush plate 7. Brush bristles 8 are fixedly connected to the lower end face of the brush plate 7. like Figure 1 and Figure 2 The mouse can be placed inside the positioning module 4, which is adapted to the size and shape of the mouse, and the position of the mouse is fixed by the positioning module 4. The drive assembly is mounted on the tray 2 and is used to drive the material tray 3 to rotate. like Figure 1 and Figure 2 The drive component drives the tray 2 to rotate, and the tray 2 drives the mouse to rotate through multiple positioning modules 4 on it, so that the mouse is first rotated to the bottom of the brush 8, and then rotated to the printing area. like Figure 3 and Figure 4 When the positioning module 4 rotates the mouse to a position below the brush bristles 8, the first motor 6 drives the brush plate 7 to rotate, and the brush plate 7 drives the brush bristles 8 to rotate. The brush bristles 8 can then clean the surface of the mouse, preventing the silicone head from getting dirty on the mouse surface, ensuring the subsequent printing quality and extending the service life of the silicone head.
[0018] Specifically, the driving assembly includes a second motor 9, a slider 10, and a ring rail 11. The second motor 9 is mounted on the pallet 2. The output shaft of the second motor 9 passes through the pallet 2 and is fixedly connected to the tray 3. Multiple sliders 10 are fixedly connected to the tray 3. The multiple sliders 10 are slidably connected to the ring rail 11. The ring rail 11 is fixedly connected to the pallet 2. like Figure 2 The ring rail 11 supports the material tray 3 through multiple sliders 10, and the second motor 9 can drive the material tray 3 to rotate along the ring rail 11.
[0019] Specifically, a collection cover 12 is fitted on the brush plate 7. The collection cover 12 is fixedly connected to the cross arm 5. An annular air duct 13 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the collection cover 12. Multiple dust suction ports 14 are opened on the annular air duct 13, and the multiple dust suction ports 14 are all facing the brush bristles 8. A fan 15 is installed on the cross arm 5. The air inlet of the fan 15 is connected to the annular air duct 13 through an air pipe. like Figure 4 and Figure 5 By covering the brush bristles 8 with the collection cover 12 and starting the fan 15, the dust swept down by the brush bristles 8 can be sucked into the annular air duct 13 through multiple suction ports 14, thus preventing the swept dust from scattering everywhere.
[0020] Specifically, a filter screen is installed at the air inlet of the fan 15, and the fan 15 is selected from models that can have a filter screen installed at the air inlet. like Figure 4 The dust drawn into the annular duct 13 moves along the duct toward the air inlet of the fan 15, and is filtered by the filter screen at the air inlet of the fan 15.
[0021] Specifically, a guide rod 16 is slidably connected to the cross arm 5, one end of the guide rod 16 is fixedly connected to the support plate 2, and an electric cylinder 17 is installed on the support plate 2, with the piston rod of the electric cylinder 17 fixedly connected to the cross arm 5. like Figure 3 The electric cylinder 17 can drive the horizontal arm 5 to rise and fall along the guide rod 16, thereby adjusting the height of the bristles 8 to adapt to different mice.
[0022] Working principle: The drive component drives the tray 2 to rotate, and the tray 2 drives the mouse to rotate through multiple positioning molds 4 on it, so that the mouse is first rotated to the bottom of the brush 8, and then rotated to the printing area; When the positioning module 4 rotates the mouse to a position below the brush bristles 8, the first motor 6 drives the brush plate 7 to rotate, which in turn drives the brush bristles 8 to rotate. The brush bristles 8 can then clean the surface of the mouse, preventing the silicone head from getting dirty and ensuring the quality of subsequent printing while extending the lifespan of the silicone head.
[0023] It should be noted that all electrical components appearing in this application are connected to an external main controller and 220V AC mains power.
