In this embodiment, a detection device is disposed at the fourth working area 114 for detecting the first workpiece and the second workpiece. When the first and second workpieces have been printed as they move to the fourth working area 114, the printed first and second workpieces are inspected to determine whether they have been damaged or have poor printing quality, and qualified workpieces and unqualified workpieces are distinguished.

Example 9:

as shown in fig. 1, on the basis of any of the above embodiments, embodiment 9 provides a printing apparatus 100 including at least one removing device 1721 for removing the defective first workpiece and the defective second workpiece detected by the detecting device from the output device 150.

Specifically, the removing device 1721 is disposed on the output device 150. When the first and second workpieces move in the output device 150 to the position where the removing device 1721 is located, the removing device 1721 removes the unqualified first workpiece and the unqualified second workpiece from the output device 150 according to the detection result of the detecting device.

Specifically, when the defective first workpiece and the defective second workpiece are moved to the removing device 1721, the removing device 1721 jacks them up, thereby removing the defective workpieces from the output device 150.

By providing the removing device 1721 in the printing apparatus 100, the unqualified first and second workpieces are removed from the output device 150, thereby improving the product yield of the first and second workpieces. And because the removing device is independently arranged, the conveying of subsequent workpieces cannot be influenced when the unqualified workpieces are jacked up, so that the operation efficiency of the equipment is improved.

The specific embodiment is as follows:

the invention provides a printing apparatus 100 comprising an input device 120, a rotary platform 110, a bearing table 160, a positioning device 180, a first printing device 130, a second printing device 140, an output device 150 and a steering device 170.

The input device 120 is a dual-rail sheet feeding device for transferring the first workpiece and the second workpiece to the loading table 160 on the rotary platform 110. The loading platform 160 is disposed on the rotating platform 110, and is sequentially arranged at intervals along the movement track of the rotating platform 110, and the input device 120, the first printing device 130, the second printing device 140, the output device 150 and the loading platform 160 are in one-to-one correspondence. Specifically, there are four of the loading platforms 160, and the rotating platform 110 is a disk-shaped rotating platform 110 capable of rotating around its own axis. Compared with the prior art, the arrangement enables the rotary platform 110 to be smaller, and uses fewer bearing tables 160, thereby reducing the cost, reducing the floor area of the equipment and reducing the processing difficulty.

The positioning device 180 is disposed at the first working area 111 for acquiring positions of the first workpiece and the second workpiece on the carrying stage 160 of the first working area 111. In particular, the positioning device 180 may be a camera.

The first printing device 130 is disposed in the second work area 112, and the second printing device 140 is disposed in the third work area 113 for printing the first workpiece and the second workpiece, respectively.

The second working area 112 and the third working area 113 are respectively provided with a first adjusting device and a second adjusting device which cooperate with the positioning device 180 to adjust the angles and positions of the first printing device 130 and the second printing device 140, so as to ensure the printing accuracy.

The output device 150 is disposed at the fourth working area 114, the carrying table 160 of the fourth working area 114 is disposed near the output device 150, and the output device 150 is used for transferring the printed first and second workpieces to the next process.

The following design of the output device 150 and the turning device 170 may be used depending on the direction of feeding and discharging the sheet in the printing apparatus 100.

When the input direction and the output direction of the workpiece are the same, the turning device 170 needs to be arranged to adjust the conveying direction of the workpiece, and specifically includes the following structures:

(1) the turning device 170 includes a moving mechanism 1711 and a transferring assembly 1712, and the moving mechanism 1711 and the transferring assembly 1712 are vertically disposed. The conveying component 1712 is provided with a groove, and the moving mechanism 1711 is arranged in the groove of the conveying component 1712. The conveying assembly 1712 is butted with the bearing table 160 at the fourth working area, the first workpiece and the second workpiece in the groove after splicing are jacked up and butted with the subsequent moving mechanism 1711, and the first workpiece and the second workpiece are continuously conveyed;

(2) the steering device 170 is a jacking mechanism, the jacking mechanism is arranged below the output device 150, an objective table for bearing the workpiece is arranged, and the objective table is driven by the moving mechanism to realize transverse and longitudinal displacement. Specifically, the moving mechanism comprises a power source, a screw rod, a cylinder or a cam, the power source drives the screw rod to move to realize transverse displacement, and the power source drives the cylinder or the cam to realize longitudinal displacement. When the device works, the object stage moves into the groove of the conveying component 1712, jacks up and conveys out the first workpiece and the second workpiece, and then returns to the groove of the conveying component 1712 to continue working, so that reciprocating transmission motion is realized;

(3) the steering device 170 may also be a universal conveyor platform.

When the system needs the input direction of the workpiece to be vertical to the output direction, the output device is not provided with a steering device.

A detection device is also provided at the second working area 112 for detecting whether the workpiece is intact.

The output device 150 is provided with a removing device 1721, and when the detecting device detects that the workpiece has a damaged part, the removing device 1721 jacks up the damaged workpiece, so that normal transmission is not affected. If at least one removing device 1721 is provided, or if a plurality of removing devices are provided, each removing device 1721 is operated independently.

The workflow of the printing apparatus 100 is specifically as follows:

the first workpiece and the second workpiece are respectively transferred to the bearing table 160 of the first working area 111 by the input device 120, and are photographed and positioned by the positioning device 180, and the first position of the first workpiece and the second position of the second workpiece are respectively recorded. The positioning device 180 transmits the position information of the first workpiece to the first printing device 130, and the printing region is overlapped with the first workpiece and printed by adjusting the position and angle of the first printing device 130. The positioning device 180 transmits the position information of the second workpiece to the second printing device 140, and the printing region is overlapped with the second workpiece and printed by adjusting the position and angle of the second printing device 140. The rotary table 110 rotates clockwise or counterclockwise according to actual work, and the first printing device 130 and the second printing device 140 print simultaneously during normal printing. On the bearing table 160 of the second working area 112, the detection device detects the first workpiece and the second workpiece on the bearing table 160, and if the workpieces are detected to be intact, the workpieces are output through the output device 150; if the workpiece is detected to be damaged, the damaged workpiece is jacked up through the removing device 1721, normal transmission is not affected, and the working efficiency is improved. After the first workpiece and the second workpiece are sent into the output device 150, the output device 150 completes the operations of connection, jacking, rotation, transmission and the like or randomly combines the operations according to actual requirements in the process of workpiece transmission, and the process of workpiece output is completed.
