Background Art

Printing is a technology that transfers ink from originals such as text, pictures, photos, anti-counterfeiting, etc. to the surface of materials such as paper, fabrics, plastics, leather, etc. through processes such as plate making, inking, and pressurization, in order to batch reproduce the content of the originals.

Many patterns and texts need to be printed on the notebook shell. The printing equipment in the existing technology is single-unit operation, and can only print one pattern at a specified place on the product each time. However, many positions on the notebook shell need to be printed, and the printed texts are different. It is impossible to implement it efficiently and accurately using existing equipment.

In view of this, the present invention proposes an automatic printing device capable of printing different texts or patterns at different positions of a notebook housing.

In order to solve the above technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions:

An automatic printing device comprises a frame and an automatic loading and unloading mechanism, an automatic flipping mechanism, an oil cup mechanism, a wiping mechanism and a printing mechanism arranged on the frame, wherein the automatic loading and unloading mechanism is composed of a suction cup installed on a manipulator; the automatic flipping mechanism is composed of a fixture installed on a first motor; the oil cup mechanism comprises an oil cup and a printing plate movably connected up and down, and the oil cup is connected to a first cylinder; the wiping mechanism comprises a first material tray wheel and a second material tray wheel arranged at both ends of a guide plate, a tape is provided on the first material tray wheel, and a second motor is connected to the second material tray wheel; the printing mechanism comprises an XY servo slide, a second cylinder and a print head, the second cylinder is installed on the XY servo slide, and the print head is installed on the second cylinder.

Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

The automatic printing equipment of the present invention adopts the method of installing the printing head on the XY servo slide, which can meet the requirements of any movement of the printing head in the X-axis and Y-axis directions, the wiping mechanism meets the requirements of cleaning the printing head, the ink cup mechanism realizes the ink filling of the printing head, the automatic flipping mechanism meets the requirements of fixing the product to be processed and can realize 360-degree rotation, and the automatic loading and unloading mechanism meets the requirements of automatic loading and unloading of the product to be processed. The equipment has a high degree of automation and high production efficiency.

Implementation

Referring to Figures 1-8, the automatic printing equipment includes a frame 1 and an automatic loading and unloading mechanism, an automatic flipping mechanism, an oil cup mechanism, a wiping mechanism and a printing mechanism arranged on the frame 1, wherein the automatic loading and unloading mechanism is composed of a suction cup 2 installed on a manipulator 3; the automatic flipping mechanism is composed of a fixture 4 installed on a first motor 5; the oil cup mechanism includes an oil cup 6 and a printing plate 7 that are movably connected up and down, and the oil cup 6 is connected to a first cylinder 8; the wiping mechanism includes a first material tray wheel 10 and a second material tray wheel 11 arranged at both ends of a guide plate 9, a tape 12 is provided on the first material tray wheel 10, and a second motor 13 is connected to the second material tray wheel 11; the printing mechanism includes an XY servo slide 14, a second cylinder 15 and a print head 16, the second cylinder 15 is installed on the XY servo slide 14, and the print head 16 is installed on the second cylinder 15.

The automatic printing device of the present invention is suitable for printing characters on the front and side of the notebook shell, such as the switch key symbol, USB port symbol and microphone jack symbol. When in use, the manipulator 3 in the automatic loading and unloading mechanism will automatically load the product to be processed into the fixture 4 of the automatic flipping mechanism through the suction cup 2 connected thereto. The fixture 4 is provided with a limit block and a side block, and the side block is connected to the cylinder. The cylinder drives the side block to effectively fix the product to be processed. The fixture 4 is installed on the first motor 5. When the first motor 5 rotates, it will drive the fixture 4 connected thereto and the product to be processed fixed on the fixture 4 to achieve 360-degree rotation to meet the printing operation on the front and side of the product to be processed. The XY servo slide 14 of the printing mechanism is installed above the frame 1. The XY servo slide 14 adopts two sets of ball screw linear modules to be installed vertically. The XY servo slide 14 can move linearly in the X and Y axis directions. The print head 16 is installed on the second cylinder 15. When the second cylinder 15 is started, it will drive the print head 16 connected thereto to extend to the working position. In the initial position, the XY servo slide 14 moves the print head 16 to the wiping mechanism position. The first material tray wheel 10 of the wiping mechanism is provided with a tape 12. One end of the tape 12 is fixed to the second material tray wheel 11. The tape 12 is placed on the guide plate 9, and the adhesive surface of the tape 12 faces upward. The second cylinder 15 is started to drive the print head 16 connected thereto to be pressed down onto the adhesive surface of the tape 12. The adhesive surface of the tape 12 will adhere to the residual ink of the print head 16 to ensure the cleanliness of the print head 16. After the print head 16 is cleaned, the second cylinder 15 resets the print head 16 and it rises accordingly. The second motor 13 of the wiping mechanism is started and drives the second material tray wheel 11 connected thereto to rotate, and the used tape 12 is stored in the second material tray wheel 11. The cleaned print head 16 moves to the printing plate 7 position of the ink cup mechanism under the drive of the XY servo slide 14. At this time, the first cylinder 8 starts to drive the oil cup 6 connected thereto to slide to the printing plate 7 for ink filling. The print head 16 descends to absorb the ink on the printing plate 7, and then moves to the automatic flip mechanism position under the drive of the XY servo slide 14. The print head 16 completes the printing operation of the product to be processed installed on the fixture 4 at this position. The equipment has a high degree of automation and high production efficiency.

Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments or replace some of the technical features therein by equivalents.
