Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of inkjet printing, and in particular to a label inkjet device. Background Technology

[0002] In existing inkjet printing equipment, inkjet printing technology is relatively mature and can achieve high-precision printing of patterns and text. However, label materials (such as plastics, films, etc.) have low surface energy, and direct inkjet printing may result in insufficient ink adhesion, affecting printing quality. Therefore, plasma cleaning or chemical treatment is often required before inkjet printing, and curing treatment is performed after inkjet printing.

[0003] However, traditional inkjet equipment typically focuses solely on ink ejection to achieve inkjet printing. Plasma treatment and UV curing require additional equipment and must be performed offline, resulting in a complex and lengthy production process, low efficiency, and increased manual intervention, which increases errors and costs.

[0005] Furthermore, in the label inkjet equipment described above, the label inkjet equipment further includes a main control unit, which connects to and controls the plasma processing mechanism, the inkjet mechanism, the UV curing mechanism, and the moving mechanism.

[0006] Furthermore, in the label inkjet device described above, the moving mechanism includes a longitudinal slide rail disposed on the upper surface of the inkjet platform, a transverse slide rail disposed on the longitudinal slide rail, and a sample holder disposed on the transverse slide rail; the transverse slide rail is movable on the longitudinal slide rail, and the sample holder is movable on the transverse slide rail.

[0007] Furthermore, in the label inkjet device described above, the longitudinal axis slide rail passes through the plasma processing mechanism, the inkjet mechanism, and the UV curing mechanism.

[0008] Furthermore, in the label inkjet device described above, the longitudinal slide rail includes two longitudinal tracks, and the transverse slide rail is disposed between the two longitudinal tracks.

[0009] Furthermore, in the label inkjet device described above, the plasma processing mechanism is provided with a plasma spray gun, which is located above the longitudinal axis slide rail.

[0010] Furthermore, in the label inkjet device described above, the inkjet mechanism is provided with an ink printhead located above the longitudinal axis slide rail.

[0011] Furthermore, in the label inkjet equipment described above, the UV curing mechanism is equipped with a UV curing device, which is positioned above the longitudinal axis slide rail.

[0012] The advantages of this utility model are:

[0014] 2.
