[0002] Pad printing is an indirect gravure printing technology. It uses a flexible printing head to transfer ink from a printing plate onto the surface of a workpiece. Pad printing can meet the printing needs of irregularly shaped products.

[0018] It should be understood that the terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular exemplary embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting. Unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, the singular forms “a,” “an,” and “described” as used herein may also include the plural forms. The terms “comprising,” “including,” “containing,” and “having” are inclusive and therefore indicate the presence of the stated features, steps, operations, elements, and / or components, but do not exclude the presence or addition of one or more other features, steps, operations, elements, components, and / or combinations thereof.

Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this application based on the specific circumstances.

[0023] Pad printing is an indirect gravure printing technology. It uses a flexible printing head to transfer ink from a printing plate onto the surface of a workpiece. Pad printing can meet the printing needs of irregularly shaped products. In existing technologies, the workpiece surface needs to be cleaned manually before the product is transported to the pad printing production line for printing, and then manually placed onto the baking tray.

[0024] However, the cleaning, pad printing and placement processes have low levels of automation and the workstations are scattered between processes, resulting in low production efficiency and high logistics and labor costs.

[0025] To address the issues of low automation levels and dispersed workstations in the cleaning, pad printing, and placement processes, this application proposes an integrated pad printing device 100. This device integrates the workstations for the cleaning, pad printing, and placement processes and improves the level of automation, thereby increasing production efficiency and reducing logistics and labor transportation costs.

[0026] The integrated pad printing device 100 of this application is described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0027] Combination Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, this application proposes an integrated pad printing device 100, including a frame 10, a rotating mechanism 20, a cleaning mechanism 30, a pad printing mechanism 40, and a tray placement mechanism 50. The rotating mechanism 20 is rotatably mounted on the frame 10 and is used to mount a product 200. The cleaning mechanism 30 is mounted on the frame 10 and is used to clean the product 200. The pad printing mechanism 40 is mounted on the frame 10 and is used to perform pad printing on the product 200. The tray placement mechanism 50 is mounted on the frame 10 and is used to place the product 200 onto a tray. The cleaning mechanism 30, the pad printing mechanism 40, and the tray placement mechanism 50 are spaced apart circumferentially along the rotating mechanism 20.

[0028] The frame 10 can be a one-piece molded structure or a split molded structure. When the frame 10 is a split molded structure, the parts can be connected to each other or be independent of each other.

[0029] During the cleaning, pad printing, and placement processes, the product 200 is placed on the rotating mechanism 20. Since the cleaning mechanism 30, pad printing mechanism 40, and placement mechanism 50 are arranged at intervals along the circumference of the rotating mechanism 20, the movement of the rotating mechanism 20 can make the position of the product 200 correspond to the cleaning mechanism 30, pad printing mechanism 40, and placement mechanism 50 respectively, thereby allowing the product 200 to undergo the cleaning, pad printing, and placement processes sequentially.

[0030] The cleaning mechanism 30, pad printing mechanism 40 and tray placement mechanism 50 are arranged at intervals along the circumference of the rotating mechanism 20. The product 200 can switch between cleaning, pad printing and placement processes by rotating the rotating mechanism 20. During the switching process, transportation by manual or external conveying equipment can be avoided, thereby reducing the cost of material and labor transportation.

[0031] The rotating mechanism 20 can automatically switch the workstation position of the product 200. The cleaning mechanism 30, the pad printing mechanism 40 and the tray placement mechanism 50 can automatically perform cleaning, pad printing and placement processes on the product 200, thereby improving the automation level of the integrated pad printing equipment 100 in this embodiment and thus improving production efficiency.

[0032] Furthermore, the cleaning mechanism 30, the pad printing mechanism 40, and the tray placement mechanism 50 are arranged at intervals along the circumference of the rotating mechanism 20, which enables the structure of the cleaning mechanism 30, the pad printing mechanism 40, the tray placement mechanism 50, and the rotating mechanism 20 to be compact, thereby improving the integration of the integrated pad printing device 100 in this embodiment.

[0033] Combination Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the rotating mechanism 20 includes a rotating disk 21 and a fixture 22. The rotating disk 21 is rotatably mounted on the frame 10, and the fixture 22 is mounted on the rotating disk 21 and used to mount the product 200. The fixture 22 has a cleaning position, a pad printing position, and a tray placement position relative to the frame 10. The fixture 22 located in the cleaning position corresponds to the cleaning mechanism 30, the fixture 22 located in the pad printing position corresponds to the pad printing mechanism 40, and the fixture 22 located in the tray placement position corresponds to the tray placement mechanism 50.

[0034] The fixture 22, located at the cleaning position, corresponds to the cleaning mechanism 30, thereby placing the product 200 carried by the fixture 22 in a suitable position for cleaning by the cleaning mechanism 30, thus facilitating the cleaning mechanism 30 in cleaning the product 200. The cleaning position can be one location corresponding to the fixture 22 and the cleaning mechanism 30, or it can be multiple locations corresponding to the fixture 22 and the cleaning mechanism 30; this embodiment does not impose specific limitations. As an example, the cleaning position is as follows... Figure 3 As shown at point g.

[0035] The fixture 22, located at the pad printing position, corresponds to the pad printing mechanism 40, thereby placing the product 200 carried by the fixture 22 in a suitable position for the pad printing mechanism 40 to perform pad printing on the product 200, thus facilitating the pad printing mechanism 40 to perform pad printing on the product 200. The pad printing position can be one location corresponding to the fixture 22 and the pad printing mechanism 40, or it can be multiple locations corresponding to the fixture 22 and the pad printing mechanism 40; this embodiment does not impose specific limitations. As an example, the pad printing position is as follows... Figure 3 As shown at point h.

[0036] The fixture 22, located at the tray placement position, corresponds to the tray placement mechanism 50, thereby placing the product 200 carried by the fixture 22 in a suitable position for the tray placement mechanism 50 to arrange the product 200, thus facilitating the tray placement mechanism 50 to arrange the product 200. The tray placement position can be one location corresponding to the fixture 22 and the tray placement mechanism 50, or it can be multiple locations corresponding to the fixture 22 and the tray placement mechanism 50; this embodiment does not impose specific limitations. As an example, the tray placement position is as follows... Figure 3 As shown at point i in the middle.

[0037] The fixture 22, by adapting to the structure of product 200, enables precise installation of product 200. In the cleaning process, it reduces the probability of incomplete cleaning or localized over-cleaning caused by product 200 shaking, thereby improving the cleaning effect of product 200. In the pad printing process, the fixture 22 ensures the alignment accuracy of product 200, thus reducing the probability of pad printing misalignment and ghosting. In the tray placement process, the fixture 22 maintains the stability of product 200's posture, facilitating precise gripping and placement by the tray placement mechanism 50, and reducing the probability of product 200 misalignment or jamming due to changes in product 200's position.

[0038] Therefore, the fixture 22 enables the product 200 to maintain a fixed posture and position during cleaning, pad printing and placement processes, thereby improving process efficiency and reducing production defect rate.

[0039] The rotating disk 21 can drive the fixture 22 to rotate, so that the product 200 can be switched to a suitable workstation.

[0040] Combination Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the integrated pad printing device 100 also includes a housing 60 disposed on the frame 10. The rotating mechanism 20, the cleaning mechanism 30, the pad printing mechanism 40 and the tray-mounting mechanism 50 are all located inside the housing 60. The housing 60 is provided with a loading hole 61 for loading materials. The fixture 22 also has a loading position relative to the frame 10. The fixture 22 located at the loading position corresponds to the loading hole 61.

[0041] The jig 22 located at the loading position corresponds to the loading hole 61, allowing material to be loaded onto the jig 22 through the loading hole 61. The loading position can be one location corresponding to the loading hole 61, or it can be multiple locations corresponding to the loading hole 61; this embodiment does not impose specific limitations. As an example, the loading position is as follows... Figure 3 As shown at point f in the middle.

[0042] The housing 60 can completely or partially separate the rotating mechanism 20, cleaning mechanism 30, pad printing mechanism 40 and tray placement mechanism 50 from the external space, thereby reducing the probability of foreign objects entering the housing 60 and thus reducing the probability of mechanical parts jamming and electrical components being damaged in the rotating mechanism 20, cleaning mechanism 30, pad printing mechanism 40 and tray placement mechanism 50.

[0043] The housing 60 provides a stable operating environment for the cleaning mechanism 30, the pad printing mechanism 40, and the tray-loading mechanism 50, reducing the impact of external factors on their operation and thus improving the processing accuracy of the product 200.

[0044] The housing 60 also provides physical protection, preventing operators from directly contacting the cleaning mechanism 30, the pad printing mechanism 40, and the tray placement mechanism 50 during normal operation of the integrated pad printing equipment 100 in this embodiment, thereby reducing operational risks.

[0045] The jig 22 can be fed through the loading hole 61, which reduces the cumbersomeness of loading.

[0046] In some specific embodiments, the rotating mechanism 20 further includes a driving device, which is connected to the rotating disk 21 in a transmission manner.

[0047] The drive device can drive the rotating disk 21 to rotate automatically, thereby further improving the automation level of the integrated pad printing equipment 100 in this embodiment, and further improving production efficiency.

[0048] The drive device can drive the rotating disk 21 to rotate precisely, so that the fixture 22 can be accurately positioned in the cleaning position, the transfer printing position, the tray placement position, and the feeding position, thereby improving the consistency of the operating rhythm of the fixture 22 and thus improving the stability of the production of product 200.

[0049] In some preferred embodiments, the drive device is a servo motor. The servo motor can precisely control the rotation parameters, thereby improving the rotation accuracy of the rotating disk 21.

[0050] Combination Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, in some specific embodiments, the housing 60 is provided with an openable first door 63, the position of which is opposite to that of the cleaning mechanism 30. When the first door 63 is open, the cleaning mechanism 30 can be adjusted and maintained.

[0051] Combination Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in some specific embodiments, the housing 60 is provided with a second door 64 that can be opened and closed, and the position of the second door 64 is opposite to the position of the pad printing mechanism 40. When the second door 64 is opened, the pad printing mechanism 40 can be adjusted and maintained.

[0052] Combination Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in some specific embodiments, the housing 60 is provided with a switchable third door 65, which is positioned opposite to the plate-swiping mechanism 50. When the third door 65 is open, the plate-swiping mechanism 50 can be adjusted and maintained.

[0053] Combination Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the cleaning mechanism 30, the pad printing mechanism 40 and the tray placement mechanism 50 are arranged sequentially along the circumference of the rotating mechanism 20. The rotating mechanism 20 includes at least four fixtures 22. When at least one fixture 22 is in the feeding position, at least another fixture 22 is in the cleaning position, at least another fixture 22 is in the pad printing position, and at least another fixture 22 is in the tray placement position.

[0054] The cleaning mechanism 30, the pad printing mechanism 40, and the tray placement mechanism 50 are arranged sequentially along the circumference of the rotating mechanism 20. When the rotating disk 21 rotates, the fixture 22 can pass through the feeding position, the cleaning position, the pad printing position, and the tray placement position in sequence, thereby avoiding the backtracking of the product 200 when changing process stations, thus reducing the time loss when changing process stations and improving production efficiency.

[0055] By having at least one fixture 22 in the feeding position, at least another fixture 22 in the cleaning position, at least another fixture 22 in the pad printing position, and at least another fixture 22 in the tray placement position, the idle time of the cleaning mechanism 30, the pad printing mechanism 40, and the tray placement mechanism 50 is reduced, allowing the cleaning mechanism 30, the pad printing mechanism 40, and the tray placement mechanism 50 to work fully, thereby increasing production efficiency.

[0056] Combination Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, in some embodiments, the cleaning mechanism 30 includes a first mounting member 31 and a nozzle 32. The first mounting member 31 is mounted on the frame 10, and the nozzle 32 is slidably disposed on the first mounting member 31. The nozzle 32 is used to spray plasma onto the product 200.

[0057] like Figure 4 As shown, when the cleaning mechanism 30 is working, the nozzle 32 moves to the position corresponding to the product 200 and sprays plasma onto the product 200.

[0058] The first mounting component 31 provides support and mounting for the nozzle 32, enabling the nozzle 32 to remain stable when ejecting plasma.

[0059] The nozzle 32 is slidably mounted on the first mounting member 31. By adjusting the position of the nozzle 32, plasma can be sprayed onto the product 200 from different positions, thereby avoiding blind spots. Moreover, the slidable nozzle 32 can uniformly spray plasma onto the product 200, thus ensuring consistent cleaning results.

[0060] Plasma can remove particles, dirt, and other contaminants from the surface of product 200, thereby improving the cleanliness of the product 200 surface and reducing the impact of substances on the ink, thus improving the pad printing effect.

[0061] Plasma can also create micro-pits on the surface of product 200, thereby increasing the specific surface area of ​​product 200 and improving the wetting properties of product 200. This enhances the affinity of product 200 for ink, making it easier for ink to adhere to the surface of product 200, thus further improving the pad printing effect.

[0062] Combination Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, in some specific embodiments, the first mounting component 31 includes a first mounting beam 311, a second mounting beam 312, and a third mounting beam 313. The cleaning mechanism 30 also includes a first slide rail 33. The first mounting beam 311 and the second mounting beam 312 are arranged opposite to each other. One end of the first mounting beam 311 and one end of the second mounting beam 312 are both mounted on the frame 10. One end of the third mounting beam 313 is connected to the other end of the first mounting beam 311, and the other end of the third mounting beam 313 is connected to the other end of the second mounting beam 312. The first slide rail 33 is connected to the third mounting beam 313, and the nozzle 32 is slidably connected to the first slide rail 33.

[0063] The first mounting beam 311 and the second mounting beam 312 are arranged opposite to each other. One end of the first mounting beam 311 and one end of the second mounting beam 312 are both mounted on the frame 10. One end of the third mounting beam 313 is connected to the other end of the first mounting beam 311, and the other end of the third mounting beam 313 is connected to the other end of the second mounting beam 312. This makes the first mounting beam 311, the second mounting beam 312 and the third mounting beam 313 form a stable gantry structure, which can provide stable support for the first slide rail 33 and the nozzle 32, and reduce the probability of nozzle 32 spraying off-center.

[0064] The first slide rail 33 provides guidance for the movement of the nozzle 32, thereby reducing the probability of the nozzle 32 deviating from its intended path and making its movement more precise. The first slide rail 33 also reduces the sliding resistance of the nozzle 32, thus improving the smoothness of its movement.

[0065] Combination Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, in some specific embodiments, the cleaning mechanism 30 further includes a cylinder 34, which is connected to the nozzle 32 in a driving manner to drive the nozzle 32 to slide.

[0066] The cylinder 34 enables the nozzle 32 to slide automatically, thereby improving cleaning efficiency.

[0067] Combination Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 In some embodiments, the pad printing mechanism 40 includes a second mounting member 41, a pad printing assembly 42, and an ink assembly 43. The second mounting member 41 is mounted on the frame 10. The pad printing assembly 42 has a groove and is disposed on the second mounting member 41. The ink assembly 43 includes a pad printing head 431 and an ink cup 432 connected to each other. The pad printing head 431 is telescopically disposed along a first direction a. The ink assembly 43 is movably disposed on the pad printing assembly 42 between a first position and a second position.

[0068] When the ink assembly 43 is in the first position, the pad printing head 431 is positioned opposite to the fixture 22 located at the pad printing position along the first direction a, so as to be able to transfer ink to the product 200. The ink cup 432 is positioned opposite to the groove, so as to be able to fill the groove with ink. When the ink assembly 43 is in the second position, the pad printing head 431 is positioned opposite to the groove along the first direction a, so as to be able to pick up ink. The ink cup 432 is positioned offset from the groove.

[0069] As an example, such as Figure 13 and Figure 6 As indicated by the arrow at point a, the first direction 'a' is the up-down direction.

[0070] The first position can be one or more positions. The second position can also be one or more positions. For example, see [link to example]. Figure 9 and Figure 10 The location of the ink assembly 43. For example, the first location can be found in [reference needed]. Figure 11 and Figure 12 The position of the ink component 43.

[0071] When the ink assembly 43 is in the first position, the pad printing head 431 is positioned opposite to the fixture 22 located at the printing position along the first direction a. Through telescopic movement, the pad printing head 431 can perform printing on the product 200 located on the fixture 22. When the ink assembly 43 is in the first position, the ink cup 432 is positioned opposite to the groove so as to fill the groove with ink. Thus, when the ink assembly 43 is in the first position, it can both perform printing on the product 200 through the pad printing head 431 and replenish ink to the groove through the ink cup 432.

[0072] When the ink assembly 43 is in the second position, the pad printing head 431 is opposite to the groove along the first direction a, so that it can pick up ink through the telescopic movement. The ink cup 432 is staggered with the groove, so as to avoid the ink cup 432 affecting the ink picking up of the pad printing head 431.

[0073] Combination Figure 9 , Figure 10 , Figure 11 and Figure 12 As shown, when the pad printing mechanism 40 of this embodiment performs pad printing on the product 200, the ink assembly 43 is in the second position, the pad printing head 431 extends to pick up the ink in the groove, after picking up the ink, the pad printing head 431 retracts, the ink assembly 43 moves from the second position to the first position, the pad printing head 431 extends to transfer the ink to the product 200, and the ink cup 432 fills the groove with ink.

[0074] The pad printing mechanism 40 of this embodiment can efficiently and orderly realize ink filling, ink dipping and pad printing, thereby enabling efficient pad printing of product 200.

[0075] Combination Figure 7 , Figure 9 , Figure 10 , Figure 11 and Figure 12 As shown, in some embodiments, the ink assembly 43 further includes a scraper 433, an ink cup 432 disposed on the scraper 433 and located on the side of the scraper 433 away from the pad printing assembly 42, the scraper 433 movably abutting against the pad printing assembly 42, and the scraper 433 is used to scrape off the ink outside the groove when the ink assembly 43 moves from the first position to the second position.

[0076] By scraping away the ink outside the groove with the scraper 433, ink residue outside the groove can be avoided, thereby reducing the probability of the pattern blurring during pad printing.

[0077] When scraping ink, the scraper 433 can squeeze the ink in the groove, so that the ink can fully fill the groove, thereby increasing the consistency of the pattern when the pad printing head 431 is dipped in ink, and thus increasing the consistency of the pad printing pattern of the product 200.

[0078] Combination Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, in some embodiments, the pad printing assembly 42 includes a pad printing plate 421, a first slider 422, and a second slider 423. The pad printing plate 421 is provided with a groove. The first slider 422 is slidably connected to the second mounting member 41 along the second direction b. The second slider 423 is slidably connected to the first slider 422 along the third direction c. The pad printing plate 421 is connected to the second slider 423. The first direction a, the second direction b, and the third direction c are perpendicular to each other.

[0079] As an example, the second direction b is the horizontal direction, and the second direction b is as follows: Figure 6 and Figure 8 As indicated by the arrow at point b.

[0080] As an example, if the third direction c is horizontal, then the third direction c is as follows: Figure 6 As indicated by the arrow at point c.

[0081] The position of the pad printing plate 421 can be adjusted by the first slider 422 and the second slider 423, thereby reducing the alignment deviation between the pad printing plate 421 and the pad printing head 431, and thus enabling the pattern in the groove to be transferred more accurately to the target position of the product 200, thereby improving the accuracy of pad printing.

[0082] Combination Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 13As shown, in some embodiments, the tray-setting mechanism 50 includes a first mounting bracket 51, a second mounting bracket 52, a third slider 53, a fourth slider 54, a fifth slider 55, a gripper assembly 56, and a baking tray rack 57. The first mounting bracket 51 and the second mounting bracket 52 are arranged opposite each other along the fourth direction d. One end of the third slider 53 is slidably connected to the first mounting bracket 51 along the fifth direction e, and the other end of the third slider 53 is slidably connected to the second mounting bracket 52 along the fifth direction e. The fourth slider 54 is slidably connected to the third slider 53 along the fourth direction d. The fifth slider 55 is slidably connected to the fourth slider 54 along the first direction a. The gripper assembly 56 is rotatably connected to the fifth slider 55 around the fourth direction d. The baking tray rack 57 is located between the first mounting bracket 51 and the second mounting bracket 52 along the fourth direction d, and is opposite to the gripper assembly 56 along the first direction a. The first direction a, the fourth direction d, and the fifth direction e are perpendicular to each other.

[0083] As an example, the fourth direction d is the horizontal direction, and the fourth direction d is as follows: Figure 13 As indicated by the arrow at point d.

[0084] As an example, the fifth direction e is the horizontal direction, and the fifth direction e is as follows: Figure 13 The arrow at point e indicates this.

[0085] The fourth direction d can be in the same direction as the second direction b, or in the same direction as the third direction c, or it can be in a different direction from both the second direction b and the third direction c.

[0086] The fifth direction e can be in the same direction as the second direction b, or in the same direction as the third direction c, or it can be in a different direction from both the second direction b and the third direction c.

[0087] The first mounting bracket 51 and the second mounting bracket 52 respectively support the two ends of the third sliding member 53, thereby providing stable support for the third sliding member 53, reducing the probability of deformation during movement of the third sliding member 53, and increasing the movement stability of the third sliding member 53.

[0088] Placing the baking tray rack 57 between the first mounting bracket 51 and the second mounting bracket 52 makes full use of space, which is beneficial to the miniaturization of the integrated pad printing device 100 in this embodiment. Placing the baking tray rack 57 between the first mounting bracket 51 and the second mounting bracket 52 allows the position of the baking tray to correspond with the gripper assembly 56, thereby reducing the stroke of the gripper assembly 56 and improving the placement efficiency of the gripper assembly 56.

[0089] The third slider 53 can slide along the fifth direction d, the fourth slider 54 can slide along the fourth direction d, and the fifth slider 55 can slide along the first direction a, thereby enabling the gripper assembly 56 to slide along the first direction a, the fourth direction d, and the fifth direction d, thereby increasing the degree of freedom of movement of the gripper assembly 56 so that the gripper assembly 56 can meet various plate-setting requirements.

[0090] The gripper assembly 56 is rotatably connected to the fifth slider 55 about the fourth direction d. By rotating the gripper assembly 56, the fit between the gripper assembly 56 and the shape of the product 200 can be improved, so that the gripper assembly 56 can firmly grasp the product 200. The gripper assembly 56 can also be used to adjust the tray angle of the product 200, thereby meeting the diverse needs of tray placement of the product 200.

[0091] Combination Figure 13 and Figure 14 As shown, in some embodiments, the gripper assembly 56 includes a gripper body 561, a rotating shaft 562, a first gripper arm 563, and a second gripper arm 565.

The first gripper arm 563 is detachably mounted on one of the multiple mounting positions, and the second gripper arm 565 is detachably mounted on the other of the multiple mounting positions. Both the first gripper arm 563 and the second gripper arm 565 are provided with detachable clamping portions 564.

[0092] By setting multiple mounting positions, the first clamping arm 563 and the second clamping arm 565 can flexibly select different mounting positions, so that there are multiple initial distances between the first clamping arm 563 and the second clamping arm 565, thereby enabling the gripper assembly 56 to clamp products 200 of various specifications.

[0093] Both the first clamping arm 563 and the second clamping arm 565 are provided with detachable clamping parts 564, thereby allowing suitable clamping parts 564 to be installed on the first clamping arm 563 and the second clamping arm 565 according to the shape of the product 200, so that the gripper assembly 56 can clamp products 200 of various specifications.

[0094] By using a pivot 562 extending along the fourth direction d and rotatably connecting the gripper body 561 to the pivot 562, the gripper body 561 can rotate about the fourth direction d, thereby improving the fit between the gripper assembly 56 and the shape of the product 200 and meeting the diverse needs of product 200 for tray placement.

[0105] In some specific embodiments, the tray mechanism 50 further includes a sixth slide rail extending along a first direction a, the sixth slide rail being mounted on a fourth sliding member 54, and a fifth sliding member 55 being slidably connected to the sixth slide rail.

[0106] The sixth slide rail provides guidance for the movement of the fifth slider 55, thereby reducing the probability of the fifth slider 55 deviating from its intended path and making its movement more precise.
