Description
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of flowing water and produce the method for solids.
Background technology
Flowing water is produced the method widespread use of solids, particularly in consumer goods industries, for example, as the product of toothbrush.Usually, these solids moulding also are printed subsequently.Particularly, the technology that applies material on the selected surf zone of these solids is mainly to be exclusively used on these solids to print.Existing printing technology has not of the same race.Be used in first kind of printing technology in the industry and comprise that printing is stored in a large amount of labels on the parent roll (reel), thereafter, with these web-fed to the manufacturing line to be glued on the solids.Second kind of printing technology comprise to the solids outside face and directly apply printing ink, so print content itself can customize, thereby indicate as date manufactured or special reference number.
The present invention relates to produce a kind of method of solids, it comprises the first step and second step, first step comprises and utilizes first bringing device to apply first material to selected surf zone, in first step, selected surf zone and solids all are in the motion with respect to first bringing device, and selected surf zone only contacts with first material.This method can be known from second kind of above-mentioned printing technology, so the custom printed content is applied directly on the solids, and the letter or number of printing is formed by a large amount of stains usually.
When being in the motion with respect to bringing device directly on solids one of advantage of custom printed information be that this information is different for each solids of being produced, and this printing can occur on the high-speed production lines.This process is for for example consumption industry is particularly useful, and preferably solids is modified thus.Usually, this custom printed is different from other existing method of above-mentioned first kind, in first kind of printing technology label before being glued on the solids on the manufacturing line in independent process preprinted and being stored on the reel independently.In fact, in this method of using the printed label reel, all labels all are same, and each label will be corresponding to each solids on the manufacturing line.Yet, use this method of printed label reel to allow use to have the graphic label of higher resolution, rather than use limited single color point to duplicate letter or number.
Although have these and other advantage, existing method (method of custom printed dot matrix method of flowing water production specifically or use printed label reel) has shortcoming.For example, the visibility of the method for flowing water production custom printed dot matrix is relatively poor, and it is suitable for printing simple information, as a kind of date of color, and is unsuitable for printing the graphic or pattern of high definition.In addition, use the method alerting ability of printed label reel not strong, this is need change reel owing to change the pattern of label, and it relates to the two reel supporting systems that stop manufacturing line or need to have the replacing reel under the situation that does not stop manufacturing line.Under any circumstance, use the printed label reel need store the label of some required kind, such label is directly flowing water production not.
For the solids of the consumables, all has the special quality printed images usually, the design of selling for brand trademark and to the information of customer's guide for use.Traditional, these images have been printed onto on the pressure sensitive adhesives label, and the pressure sensitive adhesives label is after the protection lining material of removing for adhesive agent, and subsides are added on the solids.Yet this label often is difficult under high speed accurately to paste be added on the solids, and produces a large amount of floor times owing to lining paper fragmentation or label block up.In addition, label must be separately in the printing house printing, and this is expensive and consuming time.Label lamination and lining paper also are expensive and have increased the refuse amount.In addition, factory floor space must be set again, build inventory system with storage tags, and will guarantee that correct label is placed on the correct solids.
Use another shortcoming of label to be, change if modify figure, remaining any label must be thrown away, and prints new label.When new pattern is identified, needed for 4 to 6 weeks made new print drum or printed panel usually, printing also transmits label, in order to using.
As another kind of scheme, image is directly printed onto on the solids by the screen printing technology.Yet these technology are often slow, and particularly in the time will printing multicolor image, the picture quality of generation is limited.Usually, only print a kind ofly to four kinds of colors when any one-shot usage screen printing, the result has limited the complexity of modifying.More if desired color can be realized by making solids repeatedly pass printing station, but so often increase cost significantly.In addition, when using the on-plane surface solids, such as olive shape solids or solids with more complex-curved shape, screen printing is often very slow, to the speed operation of 50 solids of per minute, mostly is 100 solids of per minute with slowly most.
In addition, being used in screen cloth in the screen printing often expends the plenty of time and makes.These screen clothes also need frequent replacing, have increased maintenance cost.
Thermal transfer printing technology has been used for directly forming image on solids.Yet these technology are also slow and picture quality that produce is relatively poor.And, being applied to the damage that pressure on the solids that will print and/or heat can cause solids by transfer device, this does not obviously expect.And this process need uses transfer membrane, and it has increased unnecessary waste and cost.
Well-knownly be, the image of good quality can use the digital printing technology to obtain, for example ink-jet and laser technology, and these technology are flexibly in its application facet.Ink jet printing has been generally used for printing sheets or other absorbs in the material of moisture or oil base ink.
The present invention is devoted to provide a kind of method that is used to produce the mentioned kind solids, and when being applied to material on the solids, it not only has alerting ability but also have high definition, and it can be used for commercial production under multiple speed.
Summary of the invention
According to the present invention, this purpose can be used kind of method and be realized, in this method, second step utilizes second bringing device that second material is applied on the selected surf zone after being included in and finishing first step, in second step, selected surf zone and ducted body all are in the motion with respect to second bringing device, and selected surf zone only contact with second material, and this method is carried out under lasting conveyor line speed.
Method of the present invention has a plurality of advantages.Because it comprises second material and first material are applied on the selected surf zone, and solids and selected surf zone all are among the motion with respect to first or second bringing device, so alerting ability that it allows acquisition directly to apply in flowing water production, and the acquisition higher resolution, a more than material is applied on the selected surf zone of solids.Because improved alerting ability, storage content (for example storage of high definition label on reel) significantly reduces, and has reduced productive costs like this.In addition, alerting ability allows for example less waste of not using printed label, and useful to environment.
Description of drawings
Below with reference to accompanying drawing:
Fig. 1 is the plan view from above of printing device of the present invention;
Fig. 2 is the amplification orthogonal view of Fig. 1 part, is equipped with an embodiment of solids receptor mobile device.
The specific embodiment
Method of the present invention relates to solids.Solid it should be understood that this object is substantially free of empty space.This object can for example be a toothbrush.It should be noted that selected surf zone can be a component part of solids, perhaps can be unitary part, as when its on label the time.In fact, according to the present invention, solids can be produced in the following manner: selected surf zone can be on label, and the selected surf zone that is positioned on the label was handled by method of the present invention before subsides are added on the solids.In the process that material is applied on the selected surf zone, solids also is in the motion according to the present invention, is not added on the solids even label also pastes.In fact, solids and label all are on the manufacturing line, for example, will paste and add after printing at label on the manufacturing line.Label can also paste when half-blank and be added on the solids, and when label had been fixed on the solids, material can be applied on the selected surf zone that is positioned on the label.And, can not use label, and material is applied directly on the solids.
At this solids of preferably making by the material that comprises thermoplastic base resin.
The first step of the inventive method comprises to selected surf zone and applies first material.Usually, this material is a printing ink, and it preferably applies with ink-jet technology.Selected surf zone preferably includes at least 30 sq cms.Selected surf zone can be positioned at as on the label, perhaps is positioned on the solids as toothbrush.Use first bringing device to apply.Usually, this device comprises the ink gun of ink jet printer, preferably has the ink gun of a plurality of spouts.
According to the present invention, selected surf zone and solids all are in the motion with respect to first bringing device.For example because label can print before subsides add, this can not stop selected surf zone and solids independently to move.Yet this just means that these two parts are in the motion on conveyor line.Relative motion can comprise the component that is made of the first bringing device displacement.In fact, particularly when on the selected surf zone of on-plane surface, printing, preferably mobile bringing device and selected surf zone self.In any case solids also is in the motion, thereby, label is labeled be added on the solids before in last situation of printing, solids is on manufacturing line towards pasting tagged some place motion.In fact, in a preferred embodiment, selected surf zone is on label surface, and after material applied, label was fixed on the solids.This is different from another embodiment, and selected surf zone is a component part of solids outside face among this embodiment.
The invention still further relates to selected surf zone only contacts with first material in first step.This means not friction between any element and selected surf zone.What should be noted that is that if selected surf zone is positioned on the label, then label self can contact with for example solids.In fact, selected surf zone means the surface of two dimension.This friction on the selected surf zone occurs in for example screen printing application, and its speed and method of the present invention are incompatible.
Second step of the present invention is similar to first step and follows after first step.Method of the present invention can be carried out with any current line speed, and this speed depends on the precision of used ink-jet technology and prints the quantity of the ink gun of same color.This makes it to become possibility by the mobile continuously of solids and selected surf zone and by not rubbing on selected surf zone.In addition, a plurality of bringing devices also allow with bigger linear velocity operation, and finish satisfied applying.Preferably, this method is carried out with the speed of 10 meters of per minutes at least, even at least 20 meters of per minutes more preferably, and at least 28 meters of per minutes most preferably.
In a preferred embodiment, this method also comprises one or more additional steps, additional step utilizes additional bringing device to apply added substance on selected surf zone after being included in and finishing preceding step, in additional step, selected surf zone and solids all are in the motion with respect to additional bringing device, and selected surf zone only contacts with added substance.It should be noted, preferably apply different materials in these additional steps each.A most preferred embodiment comprises four additional steps, and each in six kinds of materials is different printing ink, thereby can obtain high definition image, and the high definition gray level image with high-contrast.
In a preferred embodiment of the invention, method to selected surf zone (on on-plane surface solids surface) printed images for example comprises: mobile in a continuous manner solids formation is through ink gun, wherein ink gun has the isolated in a lateral direction spout array at solids formation moving direction, and printing ink sprays by spout; And when described solids passes through ink gun, each solids and/or ink gun move relative to each other, so in printing process, the distance between ink gun and the solids surface that will print keeps substantially constant, thereby each part on described surface is only passed through ink gun once.
According to another preferred embodiment of the present invention, image printing is comprised to the lip-deep device of solids: the receptor that is used for each solids; Mobile receiver is through the conveyer of ink gun in a continuous manner, and wherein ink gun has the isolated in a lateral direction spout array at solids formation moving direction, and printing ink sprays by spout; And be used for the device that each solids and/or ink gun relative to each other moved during through ink gun when described solids, thereby in printing process, between solids surface that maintenance will be printed and the ink gun apart from substantially constant, thereby each part on described surface is only passed through ink gun once.
The method and apparatus of the preferred embodiment of the present invention can be with speed printing or the modification on-plane surface solids that is applicable to commodity production.For example, in a preferred embodiment of the invention, this method can at least 150 solids of per minute printing, preferably surpass 200 solids of per minute, and more preferably reach 500 solids of per minute, and obtain high image quality and avoid damaging solids.
Additional benefit of the present invention is that it easily is applicable to the solids or the label of difformity and/or size, for example different figures and/or literal.
Another advantage of the present invention is that it is compared with art methods, by for example cancelling for label and lining paper, transfer membrane or design and maintenance all than the demand of expensive printed panel, can modify solids with the cost that reduces.
It should be noted for example, have non-planar surfaces and have the solids that is printed on this lip-deep image by said method or utilize said apparatus and can obtain.
In the preferred process of the present invention, the formation of solids moves through ink gun continuously.In the application's context, delegation's solids has been contained in the formation of solids, perhaps any other configuration, and wherein a plurality of solids pass through ink gun in proper order.Solids can be during printing horizontal or vertical location, but the preferred vertical location.
In addition, do continuously when mobile when the formation of solids is described, mean that then the formation of solids does not stop to move on the manufacturing line between a solids of printing and the next solids, unless for example, this process need changes, perhaps printing device needs repairing.
During printing, necessary is keeps the solids surface that will print and the less and constant of distance between the ink gun.Otherwise, that part of variation that dot positions that produces on the solids surface and size will be printed according to the surface, this can cause some places image blurring, and other place is dim, perhaps causes ink gun or solids to damage.
Usually, before printing, the distance between print surface and the ink gun will set predetermined value for.Usually, preset distance will remain in the scope between 0.2 to 4mm, and preferred 0.5 to 2.5mm scope because bigger distance will make air-flow disturb with ink-jet, causes relatively poor picture quality.The implication of the constant distance that Here it is in the context of the invention.Preferred, this is apart from keeping doing constant 1mm " 0.5mm.
Predetermined distance keeps by moving the solids and/or the ink gun that will print.For example, ink gun can be made along with the profile of the solids that will print and move.Yet for easy, preferred ink gun is maintained fixed, and each solids is moved with respect to it.In this case, preferably, before printing, each solids is arranged so that the fore-end on the solids surface that will print or the distance that the edge is scheduled to far from ink gun on solids formation moving direction.Then, solids rotates round its longitudinal axis, take to successively when moving through this ink gun along with the surface apart from the default distance of ink gun with each several part with the solids surface, up to the end section on solids surface or edge at distance ink gun preset distance.Be anticipated that, when the solids with complicated shape will print, when solids when the ink gun, the rotation direction of the solids that is necessary to reverse.Yet for the speed of whole process preferably, when rotating each solids, the each several part that print on its surface only passes through ink gun once.
At first Zuo Yong rotation direction and angle will depend on the shape of the solids that will print, with and the shape of the arbitrary crooked route that will follow.For example, if solids is roughly being moved on the straight line, and has protruding surface to ink gun, this surperficial fore-end must at first move towards ink gun, then little by little away from ink gun, up to the summit or the point of transition of ink gun arrival curved surface, then the last edge on this surface must mobile gradually ink gun.
If solids is moved at crooked route, then solids must towards the ink gun rotation or away from ink gun, this will depend on the radius of curvature separately on crooked route and solids surface.Usually, the radius of curvature of solids is less than the radius of curvature of crooked route, and this also requires above-mentioned moving.Yet, if the radius of curvature of solids is greater than the radius of curvature of crooked route, the guide edge of solids has to move away from ink gun at first gradually, arrives the summit of curved surface up to this ink gun, and move with the rearward end edge, therefore move closer to ink gun like this.
In printing process, the frequency that ink droplet sprays from ink gun needs to regulate, the minor alteration of the linear velocity during with compensation solids surface process ink gun.Ink jet regularly also needs to regulate, and is not orthogonal to the situation on solids surface with compensation most of ink gun during printing.Yet this change is having in one's pocket the person skilled in the art fully.
Solids can be used accomplished in many ways with respect to ink gun with moving of required mode.For example, can use simple servomotor or cam mechanism.If the use motor, then it will be subjected to being exclusively used in the computer program control of size and dimension of the solids of printing usually, thereby the simple change of program will make this method be suitable for printing different solids.Therefore, this can confirm more more convenient than using cam mechanism.
If desired, the present invention can utilize at least one sensor to monitor distance between solids surface and the ink gun.Can use any right sensors, for example infradred sensor, laser sensor, super sonic short range (proximity) sensor.Sensor and the device intercommunication that is used for ink gun and/or solids are moved towards each other, if desired, during print cycle, perhaps after printing the solids that a class solids is transformed into printing another kind of different size and/or shape, allow to regulate this mobile device.
Preferably, during printing, each solids remains in the receptor on forwarder or the carousel.In this case, each solids with respect to ink gun move can by move its separately receptor realize.Each receptor preferably includes the device that is used to support its solids, therefore, in printing operation, does not relatively move basically between solids and its receptor.Usually, supportive device contacts solids at least one position of top and base portion.Can use any suitable supportive device, an example is to adopt bevelled block, the top that is used to insert solids to be forming leakproof fit, and the base portion of solids is remained in the bevelled receptor, and this receptor has the profile roughly the same with the base portion of solids.Preferably, the solids that the characteristic of supportive device allows receptor to be used to have different size and/or shape, and be easy to its adaptation, thus under the situation of minimum break period, permission is from the another kind of product line conversion of a kind of production alignment, and this has remarkable advantage in current commodity production.
Method of the present invention can be utilized one or more ink guns, and this will be according to the number of surfaces decision of the complexity of the image that will print and/or the solids that will print.Each ink gun comprises the spout array, and they are transversely spaced apart team's column or row moving direction of the solids that will print.Printing ink can be in a continuous manner or the mode that under number control, falls according to instruction penetrate from spout, fully describe as institute in the literature.Preferably, printing ink penetrates from spout in the mode that falls according to instruction.
Spout quantity and array-width are selected according to the image that will print, because the solids surface only through each injector head once.Usually, each injector head has every millimeter at least 7 spouts, preferred every millimeter at least 12 spouts, and these spouts can be arranged on one or more parallel lines.Most preferably, ink gun can print per inch at least 200 oil dripping China inks on the solids moving direction, and per inch 360 oil dripping China inks preferably.
Utilize multiple grey level to obtain high quality graphic and little text quality also is preferred.Preferably, use at least four kinds of grey levels.An example that can realize its ink gun is the Xaarjet 1000 that is provided by Xaar.
The printing ink that is used to print different color when a large amount of ink guns is when (also comprising black ink and white ink for this), and necessary is, they are arranged on the solids of last printing and realize the registration of good color to color (colour-to-colour).Usually, required registration accuracy makes that the error of location different color point is 100-400: m, preferably less than 200: and m, and be more preferably less than or equal 70: m.
In order to obtain the combination of solid block color, good literal and good photorealism, method of the present invention can combine with special color printing technology.For example, in order to realize maximum alerting ability and high quality printing, preferred what is called " high-fidelity " the color printing of using 6 to 7 kinds of colors of employing.This can utilize, and for example, dark green, pinkish red, yellow and black add i) green and orange or ii) red, green and blue.Enlarged available color space and can under lower cost, have the modification of better quality like this, and avoided in order to produce the solid color, and this is common in the printed pattern for solids for the demand of a large amount of particular colors.
When the more than part on expectation printed solid thing surface, for example, the surface portion or the opposite flank at the diameter two ends of solids, each solids is through after first ink gun, it rotates around its longitudinal axis, for example by at least 90 °, present to another ink gun with the next surface portion or the side of the solids that will print.For example, if the opposite flank of solids to print, each solids will be simply at ink gun or organize between the ink gun more and rotate by approximate 180 °.So, when printing second surface part or side,, solids and/or ink gun are moved in the above described manner in order to keep the substantially invariable distance between solids surface and the ink gun.
Any suitable printing ink all can be used for printing, although the material used according to the solids that will print, some printing ink may be preferred.For example, for the nonhygroscopic solid thing, as plastics, metal and glass solids, preferably use phase change ink, such as fusion (hot-melt) printing ink, hot melt (heat-fusable) non-solvent ink toner or radiation curable ink (general is ultraviolet curing ink).In this case, preferably be provided with a kind of device that is used for fusion or cured printing ink, be positioned at after each ink gun and/or the ending (if a large amount of ink guns are arranged) of whole printing process.No matter used ink type, solids surface should have enough low surface energy can make ink adhesion.This can pass through, and for example, the flame treatment of plastic solidification thing realizes, as known in the art.
Radiation curable ink preferably is better than those need be by the printing ink of heat drying, and this is because their are not easy to cause the damage of solids when using.Ultraviolet curing ink is particularly preferred, because they can easily be bonded on the frosting and be lasting.The use of these printing ink in the ink-jet technology is described in the art to some extent.The present invention is suitable for printing the solids of multiple size and/or shape, but is particularly suitable for printing the solids with bending or non-planar surfaces.It is particularly suitable for printing only have one point to or direction on the solids of curved surface, for example with the surface of containing protuberance and recess different nonreentrant surface or recessed surface.Example comprises toothbrush.
The present invention also is suitable for printing the solids of multiple material, for example cardboard, hardboard, plastics, glass and metal.Yet its main purpose is the plastic solidification thing of the relative lightweight of printing, generally is polyethylene, polypropylene, nylon, polyester or the polyvinyl alcohol that is used in washer solvent, beauty care items, cosmetics, papermaking and the food industry; And printed label.Because according to activity conventional and that respond turn of the market or rival fast, the product in these industry usually needs to upgrade, necessary is the solids quick print, and printing process also is suitable for different manufacturing lines.The present invention has satisfied these demands for the first time, and carries out under the high speed that is similar to filling formation (filling-line) speed.
With reference to Fig. 1, device 1 comprises the carousel 2 of rotation, and it carries a large amount of receptors 3, and receptor 3 load bearing solid things 4 are through a series of ink guns 5.Each receptor comprises the supportive device (not shown) that is used for its cooresponding solids.
Each receptor is movably on carousel, thereby in the distance of wanting to keep between printed solid thing surface and each ink gun less and substantial constant.In order to be printed onto the ink solidification on the solids, ultraviolet lamp 6 is provided with after each ink gun, and if desired, in the end after the ink gun another ultraviolet lamp 7 is set, to guarantee the complete curing of printing-ink.As the another kind of substitute of ultraviolet lamp, can adopt optical fiber to come to transmit ultraviolet light, thereby save the space from farther light source.
Single solids 4 is by from the forwarder 8 of traditional type sorter 9 and leave in their receptor separately 3.When on forwarder 8, solids can be subjected to other processing, and for example by flame treatment device 10, it act as and reduces surface tension and improve the printing ink cohesive force.In addition, be provided with 180 ° and rotate directing stations 11, the opposite side of the solids that printed is directed into subsequently ink gun.
After the printing, the inspection that solids leaves carousel and uses video equipment 12 to carry out about printing quality.
With reference to Fig. 2, solids 21 remains in the bevelled disk 22, the top that the taper consent 23 that wherein hangs upside down from framework 24 inserts solids.Disk supporting makes solids through ink gun 26 on carousel (only showing its part) 25.Below carousel, motor 27 is rotatably connected on the axle 28 on the disk, rotates ink gun fwd solids thus.Motor rotates solids according to program, thereby the distance between the solids surface that will print and the ink gun is generally less than 2 millimeters.
