Description

Cutting machine and cutting method thereof

Technical Field

The application relates to the technical field of thermal sublimation printing cutting, in particular to a cutting machine and a cutting method thereof.

Background

A sublimation printer is a special printer whose working principle is to set solid pigments (called color rolls or cartridges) of three colors (cyan, magenta, yellow, CMY for short) on a drum or spool. As these pigments pass through the area where tens of thousands of semiconductor heating elements are installed, the heating elements convert the solid pigments directly into a gaseous state (this process is known as sublimation). These gases are then ejected onto the print medium. 256 temperatures can be regulated by each semiconductor heating element, so that the proportion and the shade degree of the color can be accurately regulated, and the real color photographic effect of continuous tone can be realized. Because of the characteristics of the printing mode, the thermal sublimation printer is particularly suitable for printing contents such as portrait and the like which need exquisite and fine skin texture, and the printed photo has the characteristics of long-term storage and difficult fading.

The thermal sublimation printer is widely applied to the industries of certificate authorities, photo libraries, color amplification shops, graphic shops, scenic spots, medical institutions and the like due to the advantages of high printing speed, high definition, low cost and the like. The individual user can print images such as certificate snapshots, life snapshots, scenic spot snapshots and the like by using the thermal sublimation printer to rapidly output services. Business users can customize a system integration scheme and self-service terminal equipment for digital image acquisition, editing and output according to own requirements.

When the thermal sublimation printer prints the template photo with the back glue, the template photo needs to be cut according to the outline, the template photo with the back glue is transmitted into cutting equipment, and the cutting equipment cuts and forms the corresponding pattern outline. However, in the prior art, only the photo printed by the thermal sublimation printer can be manually taken out, and then the photo can be cut after being placed in the cutting area of the cutting machine, so that the cutting efficiency of the thermal sublimation printer after printing the photo is greatly reduced.

According to the application, the conveying device is arranged at the cutting inlet 210 of the cutting machine 200, so that the photo 130 to be cut at the position of the printing outlet 110 of the thermal sublimation printer 100 can be received, the photo 130 to be cut is accurately conveyed to the cutting area of the cutting machine 200, and then the photo 130 to be cut is cut.

It should be noted that, it is necessary to ensure that the cutter 200 can meet the required cutting precision requirement, and select a suitable cutting speed according to the production requirement, so as to confirm that the cutter 200 can adapt to the thermal sublimation printing material used, and the cutter 200 is a realizable prior art, and will not be described in detail herein.

In an embodiment, referring to fig. 1, the cutting inlet 210 of the housing extends toward the printing outlet 110 of the sublimation printer 100 to form a receiving portion, so as to shorten the distance between the cutting inlet 210 of the cutting machine 200 and the printing outlet 110 of the sublimation printer 100. When the cutting inlet 210 of the cutter 200 corresponds to the printing outlet 110 of the sublimation printer 100, the photograph printed by the sublimation printer 100 may be located on the receiving portion as a component of the transfer of the cutter 200 in connection with the sublimation printing.

In this embodiment, the receiving portion is located at the cutting inlet 210 of the cutting machine 200 and extends toward a direction away from the cutting area, and the receiving portion has a plate-like structure, and is preset with a width and a length, and the length direction of the receiving portion is perpendicular to the conveying direction of the photo 130 to be cut. The preset length of the receiving part is greater than the width of the photo 130 to be cut and is matched with the printing outlet 110 of the thermal sublimation printer 100, the photo can be embedded in the printing outlet 110 of the thermal sublimation printer 100, the connection between the cutting machine 200 and the thermal sublimation printer 100 is completed, and an automatic premise is provided for automatically receiving the photo printed by the thermal sublimation printer 100 by the cutting machine 200.

In an embodiment, the cutting inlet 210 of the housing and the printing outlet 110 of the sublimation printer 100 are positioned on the same horizontal line, and the photo 130 to be cut directly enters between the plate body of the cutting inlet 210 and the roller 223 of the conveying device, so that the cutter 200 can receive the photo 130 to be cut.

In another embodiment, the height of the cutting opening 210 of the housing is lower than the height of the printing outlet 110 of the sublimation printer 100, the photo 130 to be cut is contacted with the roller 223, and the roller 223 of the conveying device drives the photo 130 to be cut to move between the plate body of the cutting opening 210 and the roller 223 along with the rotation direction of the roller 223 towards the cutting device.

Referring to fig. 1, the cutting inlet 210 is a planar structure for placing a photo to be cut, and the cutting inlet 210 is communicated with a cutting area of the cutting machine 200 and is located on the same horizontal line. The inside of the cutter 200 is sequentially provided with a cutting inlet, a cutting area and a cutting outlet along the cutting direction of the photo 130 to be cut, wherein the cutting device is arranged above the cutting area, and cuts the image contour according to a preset template.

In one embodiment, the conveying device automatically conveys the photo 130 to be cut at the cutting opening 210 to the cutting area of the cutting machine 200, so that the photo 130 to be cut does not need to be manually taken out from the printing outlet of the thermal sublimation printer 100 and then placed in the cutting area of the cutting machine 200.

In one embodiment, referring to FIG. 1, a cutter 200 includes: the fixing frame 221, the transmission shaft 222 and the roller 223.

The number of the fixing frames 221 is two, and the fixing frames are disposed at the position of the cutting inlet 210 of the cutting machine 200 and above the plate body of the cutting inlet 210. The whole of the fixing frame 221 is of a plate-shaped structure, the fixing frame 221 is vertically arranged at two sides of the cutting inlet 210 of the cutting machine 200, the plate surface of the fixing frame 221 of the plate-shaped structure is perpendicular to the cutting direction of the cutting machine 200, and mounting holes are formed in the plate surface of the fixing frame 221 of the plate-shaped structure and used for mounting the transmission shaft 222. The mounting hole is a round hole, so that the transmission shaft 222 with a circular section can conveniently rotate in the mounting hole, and the diameter of the mounting hole is larger than the section diameter of the transmission shaft 222, and can rotate in the mounting hole through the transmission shaft 222 and the power device of the cutting machine 200.

The number of the transmission shafts 222 is one, the transmission shafts 222 are horizontally arranged at the position of the cutting inlet 210 of the cutting machine 200, and the axial length direction of the transmission shafts 222 is perpendicular to the cutting direction of the cutting machine 200, so that the rollers 223 sleeved on the transmission shafts 222 can drive the photos 130 to be cut to be transmitted to the cutting area of the cutting machine 200 from the position of the cutting inlet 210. The transmission shaft 222 has a rod-shaped structure with a circular cross section, one end of the transmission shaft 222 passes through a mounting hole formed in the fixing frame 221, and the other end of the transmission shaft is connected with a power device of the cutting machine 200 to drive the transmission shaft 222 to rotate in the mounting hole in the fixing frame 221. The length of the transmission shaft 222 is greater than the length of the receiving portion extending from the position of the cutting inlet 210, and can transfer the photograph 130 to be cut to the cutting inlet 210. The mounting hole formed on the fixing frame 221 is spaced from the board surface of the cutting opening 210 by a first preset distance, so that the fixed transmission shaft 222 is spaced from the board surface of the cutting opening 210 by the same first preset distance, and the photo 130 to be cut can be transferred from the thermal sublimation printer 100 to the board surface at the position of the cutting opening 210 and is located between the transmission shaft 222 and the board surface of the cutting opening 210.

The roller 223 is sleeved on the transmission shaft 222, and is used for being matched with the board of the cutting opening 210, clamping the photo 130 to be cut at the position of the cutting opening 210, and transmitting the photo 130 to the cutting area through between the transmission shaft 222 and the board of the cutting opening 210. The radius of the section of the whole roller 223 is equal to the first preset distance between the transmission shaft 222 and the plate surface of the cutting opening 210, so that the outer side surface of the roller 223 can be abutted with the plate surface of the cutting opening 210. When the photo 130 to be cut contacts the surface of the cutting opening 210, the power device of the cutting machine 200 is automatically triggered and started, and the power device drives the transmission shaft 222 to rotate above the surface of the cutting opening 210 of the cutting machine 200, and then drives the roller 223 sleeved on the transmission shaft 222 to rotate, so that the photo 130 to be cut can be clamped due to the contact between the external rotation side of the roller 223 and the surface of the cutting opening 210, and the photo 130 to be cut is driven to move from the position of the cutting opening 210 to the cutting area of the cutting machine 200.

In this embodiment, the roller 223 is made of rubber, and has excellent physical properties: the rubber roller 223 has excellent elasticity, flexibility, and friction, which enables it to perform excellently in various application scenarios. This physical property of the rubber roller 223 helps to ensure the service life of the roller 223 and the quality of the product. Specifically, the heat resistance is good: in a high temperature environment, the rubber roller 223 can maintain its performance and resist aging. Particularly in applications where wear resistance, heat resistance and heat dissipation are required to be considered simultaneously. In addition, the rubber roller 223 has the characteristics of smooth surface, durability, no chip drop, difficult aging, stable surface hardness and the like, which make the rubber an ideal material for the roller 223.

In this embodiment, the number of the rollers 223 is more than two, and the rollers 223 are symmetrically arranged along the cutting opening 210 and symmetrically arranged along the length direction of the receiving portion, so that the more than two rollers 223 can be symmetrically arranged in the width direction of the photo 130 to be cut. The photo 130 to be cut can be fixed by the matching roller 223, and is attached to the surface of the cutting opening 210, and the photo 130 to be cut can be accurately fed into the cutting area of the cutting machine 200 along the cutting path by using at least more than two symmetrically arranged rollers 223, so that the use of an alignment device of the cutting machine 200 can be reduced, the comparison work of the alignment device can be performed, and the photo 130 to be cut can be directly cut.

The two or more symmetrically arranged rollers 223 are used to fix the photo 130 to be cut at the position of the cutting opening 210, so as to prevent the photo 130 to be cut from moving towards two sides of the vertical cutting direction. Since the roller 223 is in a rotating state during the transferring of the photo 130 to be cut and is in contact with the surface of the cutting opening 210, when the number of the rollers 223 is one, the photo 130 to be cut is located between the roller 223 and the surface of the cutting opening 210, and during the rotation of the roller 223, the photo 130 to be cut is easily displaced towards two sides along the direction perpendicular to the rotation of the roller 223, so that the photo 130 to be cut cannot be transferred to the cutting area of the cutter 200.

In one implementation, the roller 223 includes: the wheel body and the butt portion two parts, the wheel body cover is established on transmission shaft 222, and the butt portion is the cuboid structure, and the outside fixed connection of length direction's one end and wheel body, and the length direction of butt portion is tangent with the circumference direction of wheel body. The sum of the thickness of the wheel body and the length of the abutting portion is equal to the interval distance between the outer side wall of the transmission shaft 222 and the plate body of the cutting opening 210, so that the other end of the abutting portion, which is not connected with the wheel body, can be in abutting contact with the plate surface of the cutting opening 210, and therefore the photo 130 to be cut can be clamped and conveyed.

In this embodiment, the number of the abutting portions is at least 4, and the abutting portions are disposed at equal intervals along the circumferential direction of the wheel body. Compared with the roller 223 with only a wheel body, the roller 223 in the embodiment uses the abutting portion to cooperate with the cutting inlet 210 to clamp the photo 130 to be cut, and has less contact with the photo 130 to be cut, so that the influence on the photo to be cut can be avoided.

The wheel body and the abutting part are integrally formed, the integral forming technology can obviously shorten the manufacturing process, improve the production efficiency, reduce the labor cost, reduce intermediate links and assembly steps, and enable the whole production process to be faster and smoother. Because the whole product is manufactured by an integral molding technology, errors in the assembly process are reduced, thereby reducing the defect rate of the product and improving the reliability and stability of the product.

In another embodiment, referring to fig. 1, the number of the fixing frames 221 is two, and the fixing frames are disposed at two sides of the cutting inlet 210 of the cutting machine 200 and above the plate body of the cutting inlet 210. The whole of the fixing frame 221 is of a plate-shaped structure and is vertically arranged at the position of the cutting inlet 210 of the cutting machine 200, the plate surface of the fixing frame 221 of the plate-shaped structure is perpendicular to the cutting direction of the cutting machine 200, and mounting holes are formed in the plate surface of the fixing frame 221 of the plate-shaped structure and are used for mounting the transmission shaft 222. The mounting hole is a round hole, so that the transmission shaft 222 with a circular section can conveniently rotate in the mounting hole, and the diameter of the mounting hole is larger than the section diameter of the transmission shaft 222, and can be connected with the power device of the cutting machine 200 through the transmission shaft 222 to rotate in the mounting hole.

In one embodiment, the receiving portion is configured to shorten a distance between the cutting inlet 210 of the cutter 200 and the printing outlet 110 of the sublimation printer 100, so that the cutting inlet 210 receives the photo 130 to be cut after printing by the sublimation printer. Wherein the receiving portion is located outside the cross section in the vertical direction beyond the cutter 200, and is accessible at the print outlet 110 of the sublimation printer 100.

In this embodiment, referring to fig. 1, the receiving portion includes: the cambered surface section and the straight surface section are of a planar plate-shaped structure, the straight surface section is connected with the cutting inlet 210 of the shell, the straight surface section of the bearing part and the plate surface of the cutting inlet 210 are located on the same plane, the cambered surface section is fixed with the other side of the straight surface section, and the cambered surface section bends towards the lower side far away from the straight surface section to form a structure with an arc-shaped broken section. The cambered surface section of the receiving part can prevent the printed photo 130 to be cut from moving towards the lower part of the straight surface section of the receiving part, so that the photo 130 to be cut cannot be transmitted to the cutting inlet 210 of the cutting machine 200. Moreover, the broken section is an arc-shaped cambered surface section, so that the situation that the photo 130 to be cut is bent when contacting with the bearing part can be avoided.

In one embodiment, referring to fig. 2, the cutter 200 further comprises: the paper guide frame 300, the paper guide frame 300 is used for shortening the distance between the printing outlet 110 of the thermal sublimation printer 100 and the cutting opening 210 of the cutting machine 200, when the thermal sublimation printer 100 prints out the photo 130 to be cut, the paper guide frame 300 can support the photo 130 to be cut to the cutting inlet 210 of the cutting machine 200, and then the photo 130 to be cut is transferred from the cutting inlet 210 to the cutting area of the cutting machine 200.
