Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of printing production lines, and more specifically relates to an integrated production line equipped with a plurality of printing machines and coating machines.
Background Art
[0002] In a conventional production line consisting of a printing process and a coating process, when transporting the printed material to the coating machine, which is the next process, after the completion of the printing process by the printing machine, transfer by manual labor or a simple mechanical device is common. However, in such a transfer method, not only does the work efficiency decrease, but there is also a risk that the printed material may be damaged or contaminated during transportation, leading to a problem of deterioration in the quality of the final product. Therefore, in order to solve the above problems, there is a strong demand for an integrated production line that efficiently coordinates a plurality of printing machines and coating machines.
Summary of the Invention
[0003] The present invention aims to solve the problems in the above prior art and provides an integrated production line equipped with a plurality of printing machines and coating machines. To solve the above problems, the integrated production line according to the present invention is characterized by including a plurality of printing machines and coating machines, and further having the following configuration.
[0004] It is provided with a transport mechanism arranged between the printing machine and the coating machine for transporting the product printed by the printing machine to the coating machine. The conveying mechanism consists of a main conveying path, an intermediate conveying path, a lateral conveying path, a conveyor belt mechanism, and an adjustment frame mechanism. A pair of lateral conveying paths are provided symmetrically at one end of the main conveying path, and an intermediate conveying path is positioned between the pair of lateral conveying paths. Both the intermediate conveying path and the lateral conveying path communicate with the main conveying path. The intermediate conveying path and the lateral conveying path communicate with each other. A straight conveying path is provided in communication with one end of the lateral conveying path. A conveyor belt mechanism is provided at the bottom of the main conveying path, intermediate conveying path, lateral conveying path, and straight conveying path. A coating machine is positioned at one end of the main conveying path, and printing machines are positioned at each end of the intermediate conveying path and the lateral conveying path, respectively. Both sides of the adjustment frame mechanism are attached to the sides of the pair of lateral conveying paths. An opening is formed at the connection point between the straight conveying path and the lateral conveying path, and at the connection point between the lateral conveying path and the main conveying path, and a guide roller is placed inside the opening.
[0005] Compared to conventional technology, the advantages of this invention are as follows: 1. The transport mechanism allows for efficient coordination between multiple printing and coating machines, enabling the automatic transport of products produced by each printing machine to the coating machine. This eliminates the need for manual transfer work and improves production efficiency. 2. When products move from a straight conveyor path to a lateral conveyor path, and from a lateral conveyor path to a main conveyor path, the direction of travel of the products is appropriately guided by the guide rollers, thereby improving the stability of product transport.

[Modes for carrying out the invention]
[0007] The embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. Note that the embodiments shown below are examples of the present invention, and the present invention is not limited to these.
[0008] As shown in Figures 1 to 4, the integrated production line according to this embodiment includes multiple printing presses 100 and coating machines 200, with a transport mechanism arranged between them for continuously transferring printed products. The conveying mechanism consists of a main conveying path 301, an intermediate conveying path 302, a lateral conveying path 303, a conveying belt mechanism 304, and an adjustment frame mechanism. A pair of lateral conveying paths 303 are provided symmetrically at one end of the main conveying path 301, and an intermediate conveying path 302 is positioned between the pair of lateral conveying paths 303. Both the intermediate conveying path 302 and the lateral conveying path 303 are connected to the main conveying path 301. The intermediate conveying path 302 and the lateral conveying path 303 are connected to each other. A straight conveying path 305 is provided in connection with one end of the lateral conveying path 303. A conveying belt mechanism 304 is provided at the bottom of the main conveying path 301, the intermediate conveying path 302, the lateral conveying path 303, and the straight conveying path 305. A coating machine 200 is positioned at one end of the main transport path 301, and printing machines 100 are positioned at each end of the intermediate transport path 302 and the lateral transport path 303, respectively. Both sides of the adjustment frame mechanism are attached to the sides of the pair of lateral transport paths 303. An opening 306 is formed at the connection point between the straight transport path 305 and the lateral transport path 303, and at the connection point between the lateral transport path 303 and the main transport path 301, and a guide roller 307 is arranged inside the opening 306.
[0009] The adjustment frame mechanism comprises a U-shaped frame 401, a servo motor 402, and an electrically retractable rod 403. Both sides of the U-shaped frame 401 are fixed to the sides of a pair of lateral transport paths 303, and the servo motor 402 is provided at the upper center of the frame 401. The rotation axis of the servo motor 402 extends downward from the U-shaped frame 401, and the electrically retractable rod 403 is connected to its tip. Furthermore, a guide plate 404 is attached to the lower end of the electrically retractable rod 403. Multiple support legs 308 are provided at the lower part of the main transport path 301, the intermediate transport path 302, and the lateral transport path 303, respectively. Furthermore, multiple printing presses 100 can be positioned at each end of the intermediate transport path 302 and the pair of lateral transport paths 303, allowing for flexible configuration according to production scale and processing capacity requirements.
[0010] In actual operation, products that have completed the printing process at each printing press 100 are supplied to their respective transport paths and transported by the drive of the transport belt mechanism 304. When products move from the straight transport path 305 to the lateral transport path 303, and when they move from the lateral transport path 303 to the main transport path 301, guide rollers 307 restrict and guide the direction of travel of the products. When a product moves from the lateral transport path 303 to the main transport path 301, the rotational drive of the servo motor 402 operates the electric telescopic rod 403, allowing the orientation of the guide plate 404 to be adjusted. Specifically, by setting the rotation angle of the servo motor 402, when the electric telescopic rod 403 is used to push the guide plate 404 downward, both ends of the guide plate 404 are positioned at the connection points between the intermediate transport path 302 and the lateral transport path 303, and between the lateral transport path 303 and the main transport path 301, respectively. This makes it possible to properly guide the product being transported from the lateral transport path 303 to the main transport path 301. Finally, the product is transported to the coating machine 200 via the main transport path 301 and subjected to the coating process.
