Detailed Implementation

[0034] The following are specific embodiments of this application, described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, to further illustrate the technical solutions of this application. However, this application is not limited to these embodiments. In the following description, specific details such as particular configurations and components are provided merely to aid in a comprehensive understanding of the embodiments of this application. Therefore, those skilled in the art should understand that various changes and modifications can be made to the embodiments described herein without departing from the scope of protection of this application. Furthermore, for clarity and brevity, descriptions of known functions and structures have been omitted.

[0035] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in this application can be combined with each other.

[0036] The screen printing process for shoe uppers can be achieved using automated screen printing equipment. This equipment performs multiple printing passes on the shoe upper, requiring higher positioning accuracy due to the need for multiple printing passes. Therefore, this application provides a screen printing positioning component for use in automated screen printing equipment to achieve efficient and precise positioning of the shoe upper to be printed.

[0037] refer to Figures 1-3 The screen printing positioning assembly 100 includes a printing positioning platform 10, and a first limiting mechanism 20, a second limiting mechanism 30, a third limiting mechanism 40, and a fourth limiting mechanism 50 are arranged around the printing positioning platform 10. The printing positioning platform 10 is used to support the transfer tooling plate 300 on which the shoe upper to be printed is placed. The first limiting mechanism 20 and the third limiting mechanism 40 are respectively arranged on the lateral sides of the printing positioning platform 10 to apply lateral positioning to the transfer tooling plate 300 on the printing positioning platform 10. The second limiting mechanism 30 and the fourth limiting mechanism 50 are respectively arranged on the longitudinal sides of the printing positioning platform 10 to apply longitudinal positioning to the transfer tooling plate 300 on the printing positioning platform 10.

[0038] When the screen printing equipment is in operation, the shoe upper to be printed is placed on the transfer fixture plate 300. The transfer fixture plate 300 is placed on the conveying device 200 and can be driven by the conveying device 200 to move along the conveying direction. The conveying device runs along the set conveying direction and passes through the printing positioning platform. As the conveying device runs, each transfer fixture plate 300 arrives at the printing positioning platform 10 in sequence and is supported by the printing positioning platform 10. The screen printing positioning component 100 accurately positions the transfer fixture plates 300 on the printing positioning platform 10. Finally, the printing component performs screen printing on the shoe upper located on the transfer fixture plates on the printing positioning platform.

[0039] Specifically, when the transfer tooling plate 300 is placed on the printing positioning platform 10, the first limiting mechanism 20 and the third limiting mechanism 40 apply lateral positioning to the transfer tooling plate 300 from both lateral sides of the printing positioning platform 10, and the second limiting mechanism 30 and the fourth limiting mechanism 50 apply longitudinal positioning to the transfer tooling plate 300 from both longitudinal sides of the printing positioning platform 10. In this way, both the lateral and longitudinal directions of the transfer tooling plate 300 are precisely limited. Therefore, when the transfer tooling plate 300 is placed on the printing positioning platform 10, all the limiting mechanisms around the printing positioning platform 10 can simultaneously apply positioning to the transfer tooling plate 300, thereby precisely limiting the transfer tooling plate 300 to achieve efficient and accurate positioning of the shoe upper to be printed.

[0040] In one embodiment of this application, the first limiting mechanism 20 includes a first positioning frame 21 and a first driving unit 22; the first driving unit 22 is used to drive the first positioning frame 21 to move, so that the first positioning frame 21 moves closer to the printing positioning platform 10 to abut against the transfer tooling plate 300 thereon, or moves the first positioning frame 21 away from the printing positioning platform 10 to separate from the transfer tooling plate 300 thereon.

[0041] In one embodiment of this application, the second limiting mechanism 30 includes a second positioning frame 31 and a second driving unit 32; the second driving unit 32 is used to drive the second positioning frame 31 to move, so that the second positioning frame 31 moves closer to the printing positioning platform 10 to abut against the transfer tooling plate 300 thereon, or moves the second positioning frame 31 away from the printing positioning platform 10 to separate from the transfer tooling plate 300 thereon.

[0042] In one embodiment of this application, the third limiting mechanism 40 includes a third positioning frame 41 and a third driving unit 42; the third driving unit 42 is used to drive the third positioning frame 41 to move, so that the third positioning frame 41 moves closer to the printing positioning platform 10 to abut against the transfer tooling plate 300 thereon, or moves the third positioning frame 41 away from the printing positioning platform 10 to separate from the transfer tooling plate 300 thereon.

[0043] In one embodiment of this application, the fourth limiting mechanism 50 includes a fourth positioning frame 51 and a fourth driving unit 52; the fourth driving unit 52 is used to drive the fourth positioning frame 51 to move, so that the fourth positioning frame 51 moves closer to the printing positioning platform 10 to abut against the transfer tooling plate 300 thereon, or moves the fourth positioning frame 51 away from the printing positioning platform 10 to separate from the transfer tooling plate 300 thereon.

[0044] When the screen printing positioning assembly 100 is in position, the first drive unit 22, the second drive unit 32, the third drive unit 42, and the fourth drive unit 52 can operate simultaneously. The first drive unit 22 drives the first positioning frame 21 to approach the printing positioning platform 10 to abut against the transfer tooling plate 300; the second drive unit 32 drives the second positioning frame 31 to approach the printing positioning platform 10 to abut against the transfer tooling plate 300; the third drive unit 42 drives the third positioning frame 41 to approach the printing positioning platform 10 to abut against the transfer tooling plate 300; and the fourth drive unit 52 drives the fourth positioning frame 51 to approach the printing positioning platform 10 to abut against the transfer tooling plate 300. In this way, the first positioning frame 21, the second positioning frame 31, the third positioning frame 41, and the fourth positioning frame 51 approach the printing positioning platform 10 from all sides, thus confining the transfer tooling plate 300 on it, and the transfer tooling plate 300 is precisely confined. Furthermore, the first drive unit 22, the second drive unit 32, the third drive unit 42, and the fourth drive unit 52 can be configured as electric cylinders or pneumatic cylinders.

[0045] In one embodiment of this application, the first positioning frame 21, the second positioning frame 31, the third positioning frame 41, and the fourth positioning frame 51 are each provided with a plurality of positioning parts 211, which can simultaneously abut against the transfer tooling plate 300 to position the transfer tooling plate 300. Further, the positioning parts 211 are columnar. In a specific technical solution, each of the first positioning frame 21, the second positioning frame 31, the third positioning frame 41, and the fourth positioning frame 51 is provided with two positioning parts 211. Figure 4 The structure of the first limiting mechanism is shown, and the first positioning frame 21 is provided with two positioning parts 211.

[0046] refer to Figure 1 In one embodiment of this application, the first positioning frame 21, the second positioning frame 31, the third positioning frame 41, and the fourth positioning frame 51 are all assembled at the bottom of the printing positioning platform 10.

[0047] This application also provides a screen printing device, see reference. Figure 5 and Figure 6The screen printing equipment includes a screen printing positioning component 100, a conveying device 200, multiple transfer fixtures 300, and a printing component 400. The conveying device 200 runs along a predetermined conveying direction and passes through the printing positioning platform 10. The multiple transfer fixtures 300 are used to hold the shoe uppers to be printed; the transfer fixtures 300 are placed on the conveying device 200 and can be driven by the conveying device 200 to move along the conveying direction; as the conveying device 200 operates, each transfer fixture 300 sequentially reaches the printing positioning platform 10 and is held by the printing positioning platform 10. The printing component 400 is used to screen print the shoe uppers located on the transfer fixtures 300 on the printing positioning platform 10.

[0048] The screen printing positioning component 100 includes a printing positioning platform 10, and a first limiting mechanism 20, a second limiting mechanism 30, a third limiting mechanism 40, and a fourth limiting mechanism 50 are arranged around the printing positioning platform 10. The printing positioning platform 10 is used to support the transfer tooling plate 300 on which the shoe upper to be printed is placed. The first limiting mechanism 20 and the third limiting mechanism 40 are respectively arranged on the lateral sides of the printing positioning platform 10 to apply lateral positioning to the transfer tooling plate 300 on the printing positioning platform 10. The second limiting mechanism 30 and the fourth limiting mechanism 50 are respectively arranged on the longitudinal sides of the printing positioning platform 10 to apply longitudinal positioning to the transfer tooling plate 300 on the printing positioning platform 10.

[0049] During operation, the shoe uppers to be printed are placed on the transfer fixture plates 300. The conveying device 200 sequentially transports each transfer fixture plate 300. The conveying device runs along the set conveying direction and passes through the printing positioning platform. As the conveying device runs, each transfer fixture plate 300 sequentially reaches the printing positioning platform 10 and is held by the printing positioning platform 10. The screen printing positioning component 100 precisely positions the transfer fixture plates 300 on the printing positioning platform 10. Finally, the printing component performs screen printing on the shoe uppers located on the transfer fixture plates on the printing positioning platform.

[0050] The printing positioning platform 10 and / or the conveying device 200 are adjustable in height so that when the transfer tooling plate 300 reaches above the printing positioning platform 10, it can fall from the conveying device 200 onto the printing positioning platform 10, or fall from the printing positioning platform 10 onto the conveying device 200.

[0051] In one specific technical solution, the conveying device 200 is equipped with a driving device. When any intermediate fixture plate 300 on the conveying device 200 reaches above the printing positioning platform 10, the driving device drives the conveying device 200 to lower its height, causing the intermediate fixture plate 300 on the conveying device 200 to fall onto the printing positioning platform 10 for positioning and printing. After printing is completed, the driving device can drive the conveying device 200 to rise in height, allowing the intermediate fixture plate 300 on the printing positioning platform 10 to fall back onto the conveying device 200 and continue forward conveying.

[0052] In one specific technical solution, the printing positioning platform 10 is equipped with a driving device. When any intermediate fixture plate 300 on the conveying device 200 reaches above the printing positioning platform 10, the driving device drives the printing positioning platform 10 to rise, causing the intermediate fixture plate 300 on the conveying device 200 to fall onto the printing positioning platform 10 for positioning and printing. After printing is completed, the driving device can drive the printing positioning platform 10 to fall back onto the conveying device 200, allowing it to continue forward transport.

[0053] In one embodiment of this application, the screen printing equipment further includes a blocking mechanism 60; the blocking mechanism 60 is used to block the transfer tooling plate 300 of the conveying device 200 when it reaches above the printing positioning platform 10, so that the transfer tooling plate 300 is kept above the printing positioning platform 10. Furthermore, a blocking mechanism 60 is arranged on each side of the conveying device 200, and the blocking mechanisms 60 on both sides can operate simultaneously.

[0054] refer to Figure 7 The blocking mechanism 60 includes a blocking member 61 and a fifth drive unit 62. The fifth drive unit 62 drives the blocking member 61 to move, so that the blocking member 61 applies or removes the obstruction to the transfer tooling plate 300 on the conveying device 200. The fifth drive unit 62 can be configured as a cylinder. When the fifth drive unit 62 drives the blocking member 61 to extend, the blocking member 61 can block the transfer tooling plate 300 on the conveying device 200, stopping its forward movement, so as to position and print it.

[0055] In summary, the screen printing positioning component can be applied to screen printing equipment. The component includes a printing positioning platform, with a first and third limiting mechanism arranged on the lateral sides of the platform to apply lateral positioning to the transfer fixture plate. A second and fourth limiting mechanism are arranged on the longitudinal sides of the platform to apply longitudinal positioning to the transfer fixture plate. Therefore, when the transfer fixture plate is placed on the printing positioning platform, the limiting mechanisms around it can simultaneously apply positioning to the plate, accurately fixing it in place and achieving efficient and precise positioning of the shoe upper to be printed.
