One end of the vertical moving connection plate is movably connected to the main support column via a third linear guide rail, and the other end of the vertical moving connection plate is connected to one end of the inkjet printing moving assembly via a connecting plate of the inkjet printing moving assembly. One end of the vertical cylinder is connected to the main support column, and the other end is connected to the upper side of the inkjet printing moving assembly via a cylinder connecting plate.

5. A multifunctional inkjet marking and marking device according to claim 4, characterized in that: The main support column is made of hollow rectangular steel. A set of parallel third linear guide rails are laid on one side of the main support column. One end of the third linear guide rail is equipped with a vertical fixed connecting plate corresponding to the vertical moving connecting plate. A spring guide cylinder is provided on one side of the main support column, which is parallel to the third linear guide rail. One end of the spring guide cylinder passes through the vertical moving connecting plate and is fixedly connected to the vertical fixed connecting plate. The other end is connected to the main support plate. An ink fixing frame is provided on the main support column.

6. The multifunctional inkjet marking and marking device according to claim 1, characterized in that: The second support beam and the safety protection device support plate are provided with a tail box body composed of the safety protection device and the tail support plate at one end. The tail support frame is provided at the corner of the tail box body. The third support beam is provided with a drive cylinder. The second support beam is connected to the main support plate through a slider shim block, and the third support beam is connected through a cylinder shim block.

7. The printing method of the multifunctional inkjet marking device according to claim 1, characterized in that: The printing method includes the following steps: a) The pre-printed profile is horizontally conveyed to the marking area via a feeding platform, ensuring that the outer edge of the profile is tangent to a set of limiting mechanisms. The limiting mechanisms provide initial positioning of the profile in the Y-axis direction; b) A drive cylinder moves the horizontal moving mechanism and the marking device forward together. The limiting mechanism located in front of the horizontal moving mechanism contacts and presses the profile, ensuring precise positioning of the profile in the Y-axis direction; c) A vertical cylinder moves the marking mechanism downward. The rollers on the marking mechanism contact and press the profile. This allows for precise positioning of the pre-cut profile in the Z-axis direction; d) The first and second sensors on the inkjet marking mechanism locate the profile, first checking if it is in place, and then finding the zero-point position for printing; e) The inkjet marking device operates, accurately printing the pre-printed content, including characters, Chinese characters, numbers, patterns, and reverse straight lines, onto the profile surface; f) After printing, the vertical cylinder operates, the inkjet marking mechanism returns to its origin, and then the drive cylinder operates, the front limit mechanism and the horizontal moving mechanism move backward, and the profile is transported to the cutting room for cutting.

8. The printing method of the multifunctional inkjet marking device according to claim 1, characterized in that: The inkjet printer moving assembly includes a main board. A belt and a linear guide rail are provided on one side of the main board. The inkjet printer is connected to the belt via an adapter block. A roller is provided below the linear guide rail. Synchronous pulleys are provided at both ends of the belt. A first sensor is provided on the inkjet printer, and a second sensor is provided on the main board. A drive motor is provided on the other side of the main board. A stop is provided at the end of the linear guide rail. The synchronous pulleys are connected to the main board via a pulley adapter plate. The inkjet printer is provided with a first and a second clamp for fixing the inkjet printer. The first clamp is provided with a first sensor, and the second sensor is connected to the main board via a sensor bracket.
