Description

Ink jet printing system with external drying function
Technical Field
The utility model relates to an inkjet printing field, more specifically relates to an inkjet printing system with external stoving.
Background
Ink jet printing is a contactless, pressure-free, plate-free printing. The principle of ink-jet printing is that firstly, the image-text information to be processed is input into an electronic computer, and after being edited and processed by an electronic color separation system, the stored image-text information is input into an ink-jet printer; under the control of an electronic computer, a nozzle of a printing nozzle sprays atomized tiny ink drops to the surface of a printing medium, and the ink drops directly form images on the surface of the printing medium according to the charge effect, so that image-text printing is realized. There are a flat printer and a roll printer according to a driving mechanism of a printing medium. The roller printer has advantages of fast printing speed, good color registration, etc., and is gradually applied to large-scale commercial printing.
The general structure of the roller type printer comprises a roller, a linear moving platform and a printing spray head assembly, wherein the roller is positioned below the linear moving platform and the printing spray head assembly, and a printing medium is wound and conveyed on the surface of the roller; the linear moving platform drives the printing nozzle assembly to adjust the distance between the printing nozzle assembly and the printing medium; the printing spray head assembly comprises a printing spray head array consisting of a plurality of printing spray heads and a spray head tray for mounting the printing spray head array; when the printing medium passes through the lower part of the printing spray head component, the fixed printing spray head component continuously sprays ink to finish image-text printing.
Inks used for inkjet printing are generally classified into oil-based inks, aqueous inks, and UV inks. The oil-based ink is an ink in which a water-insoluble solvent is used as a dissolving chromophore, the water-based ink is an ink in which water and a water-soluble solvent are used as dissolving chromophores, and the oil-based ink or the water-based ink is a solvent ink, and the ink adheres a pigment or a dye to a printing medium through permeation and evaporation of the solvent on the printing medium. UV inks are inks that use ultraviolet light of different wavelengths and different energies to cause ink droplets to film and dry under ultraviolet radiation. In the case of solvent inks, particularly aqueous inks, after the printing medium is printed, it is necessary to dry the printing medium for a long time to sufficiently adhere the ink to the surface. In the prior art, a roller printer using water-based ink is limited by the structure, and usually only a small drying device can be built in the roller printer, so that the drying process of the water-based ink is accelerated by the drying device to make up for the short printing speed of the roller printer. Because the roller running speed of the roller type printer and the ink jet speed of the printing nozzle assembly are high, the printing medium which completes the image-text printing quickly passes through the drying device. The effective drying time of the water-based ink on the printing medium is short, and the water-based ink is immediately conveyed to the next link without being sufficiently dried. The printing surface of the printing medium is rubbed by external force, so that part of the water-based ink on the surface of the printing medium is deviated and dispersed, the image and text are blurred, and the quality of ink-jet printing is seriously influenced. With the increase of the printing speed, the widening of the printing breadth, the increase of the image-text coverage rate and the deepening of the image-text color of the roller type printer and the increase of the total amount of the aqueous ink in the unit length of the printing medium, the lower the drying degree of the aqueous ink is, the more serious the image-text blurring condition is.

The cross flow fan 320 and the driving roller 330 are positioned corresponding to each other, and the printing medium passes through a gap between the cross flow fan 320 and the driving roller 330. The number of the driving rollers 330 is equal to or greater than the number of the cross flow fans 320. With the print side of the print medium facing down, cross flow fan 320 is down and drive roller 330 is up; when the printing surface of the printing medium is facing up, the cross flow fan 320 is on top and the driving roller 330 is under. The cross flow fan 320 continuously blows hot air inside the cabinet 310 toward the printing surface of the printing medium to dry the ink on the surface thereof; the driving roller 330 supports the back surface of the printing medium to prevent the printing medium from being deformed. After the hot air is blown to the printing medium, it rises and gathers on the upper portion of the case 310. The box 310 of the inclined section 312 may enable the hot air at a lower position to be reused and blown to the printing medium at a higher position, thereby improving the heat energy utilization efficiency in the box 310 and reducing the power of the first drying device 300.
Further, the case 310 further includes a heat exchange passage and a heat exchanger 340. The heat exchanger 340 is communicated with the inner cavity of the box 310 through a heat exchange channel, and the heat exchanger 340 is used for adjusting the temperature of the inner cavity of the box 310 to maintain the temperature within an optimal ink drying temperature range.
In this embodiment, the cross flow fans 320 correspond to the driving rollers 330 one to one, and the number of the cross flow fans 320 is the same, and the driving rollers 330 are located below and above. The heater is integrated on the cross flow fan 320. The arrangement interval of the plurality of cross flow fans 320 and the plurality of driving rollers 330 is 800 to 1000mm. The cross flow fan 320 and/or the driving roller 330 may be detachably taken out from the front and rear sides of the cabinet 310 to facilitate daily maintenance. The printing medium enters from the input end of the right side of the cabinet 310, sequentially passes through the gaps between the plurality of driving rollers 330 and the plurality of cross-flow fans 320, and is dried, and finally exits from the output end of the left side of the cabinet 310.
As shown in fig. 13, preferably, the winding device 500 further includes a guide belt, and the first drying device 300 further includes a traction mechanism 350 disposed in an inner cavity of the box 310 thereof; the guide tape is unwound by the winding device 500, is clamped by the traction mechanism 350, and is transported to the other side of the box 310 along the direction opposite to the transportation direction of the printing medium, and sequentially passes through gaps between the plurality of driving rollers 330 and the plurality of cross flow fans 320.
In this scheme, when printing for the first time, the printing medium is unwound from the unwinding device 200, and needs to pass through the roller printing device 100 and the first drying device 300 before being wound on the winding device 500. And the length of the first drying device 300 is generally long in order to match the high-speed printing of the roll printing device 100. Therefore, the print medium will be wasted for a long period of time and cannot be ink-jet printed. In addition, in a state without traction, the cabinet 310 of the first drying device 300 needs to be opened, and the printing medium is manually inserted through the internal structure of the first drying device 300, which is a cumbersome process. The provision of an inexpensive leader and pull mechanism 350 effectively solves the above problems. The guide belt is disposed on the winding device 500, and the drawing mechanism 350 is disposed in the case 310 of the first drying device 300. After being unfolded, the guide belt is clamped and driven by the traction mechanism 350, moves in the direction opposite to the conveying direction of the printing medium, sequentially passes through the plurality of driving rollers 330 and the plurality of cross flow fans 320, and finally reaches the input end of the first drying device 300. The guide tape may be subsequently wound around the roll printing apparatus 100 in a further reverse direction, and then may be docked with the unwound printing medium at one end of the unwinding device 200.
In this embodiment, the guiding tape may be pre-wound on the rotating shaft of the winding device 500, or may be separately wound and juxtaposed on one side of the rotating shaft. The guide belt may be a single belt and the same width as the printing medium, or two or more belts. When the device is used, one end of the guide belt is fixed on the rotating shaft of the winding device 500, and the other end of the guide belt is connected with a printing medium in a connection mode. The drawing mechanism 350 may be a robot installed on the front and rear sides of the cassette 310, and the robot may grip the guide tape to move along the transfer trace of the printing medium. The guide belt is docked with the printing medium at the right side of the first drying device 300.
Preferably, a preheating device 600 is further disposed between the unwinding device 200 and the roller printing device, and the preheating device 600 is configured to preheat a passing printing medium. When printing at a high speed, the printing medium passes through the first heating roller and the second heating roller on the roller printing device quickly, the effective heating time of the printing medium is too short, sufficient heating is difficult to obtain, and the preheating device 600 can effectively make up for the deficiency. The preheating device 600, the first heating roller, and the second heating roller heat the printing medium in stages, so that the printing medium reaches an ideal operating temperature.
Optionally, a second drying device 400 is further disposed on the roller printing device 100, and the second drying device 400 is configured to pre-dry the printing medium after completing the inkjet printing.
Example 2
As shown in fig. 2, 3 and 4, the present embodiment is a printing head assembly with a deflection angle, which includes a head tray 111 and printing heads 112 mounted thereon, wherein the printing heads 112 are arranged in a plurality of rows on the head tray 111, and the printing heads 112 on two adjacent rows are overlapped in a staggered manner. The print head 112 is installed obliquely with respect to the head tray 111; rows of print heads 112 are arranged around a drum surface, and the lower surfaces of rows of print heads 112 combine to form a concave ink ejection surface, each side of the ink ejection surface being tangential to the drum surface.
In this embodiment, the length direction of the head tray 111 is the front-rear direction, the width direction thereof is the left-right direction, and the height direction thereof is the up-down direction. The ink ejection direction of the print head 112 is generally taken in its normal direction with the center position of the lower surface of the print head 112. Each row of print heads 112 is installed to be inclined with respect to head tray 111, and the ink ejecting direction of each row of print heads 112 is inclined with respect to a reference line of head tray 111, and the ink ejecting direction of each row of print heads 112 has a different inclination angle. Rows of print heads 112 are looped over the surface of the roll. The lower surfaces of the rows of print heads 112 are no longer planar and combine to form a concave ink ejection surface. When the nozzle tray 111 drives the printing nozzle 112 to be close to the surface of the roller, and the distance between the lower surface of the printing nozzle 112 and the surface of the roller is zero, each surface of the ink-jet surface is tangent to the surface of the roller. The ink ejection surface corresponds to a portion of the circumscribing polygon of the roller surface. This scheme is through installing every row of shower nozzle for the inclination of shower nozzle tray with the difference, makes the centre of a circle that the inkjet direction of printing the shower nozzle can point to the roller surface, and then solves the problem that the unable perpendicular to roller surface simultaneously of the crisscross shower nozzle of printing that overlaps of multirow reaches the effect that promotes the whole printing quality of printing shower nozzle subassembly.
As shown in fig. 5 to 7, specific numerical calculation for the inclination angle can be obtained by the following simplified relationship of the head tray 111 and the printing heads 112. The spray head tray 111 is provided with a first reference line 121, and the first reference line 121 points to the center of the roller surface; the jet orifice 113 of the print head 112 has a second reference line 122, and the second reference line 122 points to the ink ejection direction of the jet orifice 113; an included angle between the first reference line 121 and the second reference line 122 is a deflection angle phi, and the printing nozzle 112 is obliquely installed relative to the first reference line 121 at the deflection angle phi;
the calculation formula of the deflection angle phi is as follows:
Figure BDA0003777587490000111
wherein, L is the distance from the jet orifice to the first reference line; h is the height from the spray head tray to the surface of the roller; alpha is the included angle between the moving direction of the spray hole and the first reference line; r is the radius of the roller surface.
In this embodiment, the first reference line 121 of the head tray 111 may be a center line of the head tray 111, with the first reference line 121 being a reference line. After the printing nozzles 112 are obliquely installed at the deflection angle phi relative to the first reference line 121 of the nozzle tray 111, as long as the first reference line 121 points to the center of the surface of the roller, the ink jetting direction of each row of printing nozzles 112 can be ensured to point to the center of the surface of the roller, and each row of printing nozzles 112 is perpendicular to the surface of the roller at the same time. The second reference line 122 points in the ink ejection direction of the nozzle 113 starting from the center of the nozzle 113 of the print head 112. When the orifices 113 of a single print head 112 are in a single row, the second reference line 122 is the ink ejection direction of the row of print heads 112, and the deflection angle Φ is the inclination angle of the row of print heads 112 relative to the head tray 111. When the plurality of rows of the nozzles 113 of the single print head 112 are provided, each row of the nozzles 113 has a second reference line 122, and a plurality of deflection angles Φ are calculated. Since the pitch of the plurality of rows of the nozzle holes 113 is short, an average value of the deflection angles Φ of the plurality of rows of the nozzle holes 113 or a deflection angle Φ of the middle position of the plurality of rows of the nozzle holes 113 can be calculated as the inclination angle at which the row of the print heads 112 is mounted with respect to the head tray 111. Within the tolerance, the ink jetting directions of the multiple rows of orifices 113 of the row of print heads 112 are all approximately perpendicular to the surface of the roll.
In this scheme, the height H from the nozzle tray to the surface of the roller varies within a certain range, and for each row of printing nozzles 112, a plurality of deflection angles phi can be calculated. Since the height H differs from the radius R of the cambered printing surface by several orders of magnitude, the variation range of the deflection angle Φ is small, and the average value thereof can be taken as the inclination angle of the row of printing heads 112 with respect to the head tray 111 within the error allowable range. When the height H from the spray head tray to the surface of the roller is zero, the lower surface of the spray head tray 111 and the imaginary extension plane thereof are tangent to the surface of the roller; the height H of the printhead tray to the roller surface corresponds to the working height of the print head 112. The distance L of the spray holes to the first reference line should be taken as the value when the height H of the spray head tray to the roller surface is zero. Furthermore, when the height H of the head tray 111 is adjusted, the head tray 111 does not necessarily move along the first reference line 121. When an included angle alpha between the moving direction of the spray hole and the first reference line is formed on the outer side of the surface of the roller, the included angle alpha takes a negative value; when an included angle alpha between the moving direction of the spray hole and the first reference line is formed on the inner side of the surface of the roller, the included angle alpha takes a positive value.
Preferably, the ratio between the radius R of the roller surface and the distance L of the orifice 113 to the first reference line 121 is: R/L is more than or equal to 10. For a print head 112 with multiple rows of orifices 113, the distance L from the orifices to the first reference line has a minimum value L MIN And maximum value L MAX . When calculating the R-L ratio, the distance L should be selected as L MAX (ii) a Further, it is also necessary to satisfy R/(L) MAX -L MIN ) Is more than or equal to 20. On the one hand, when the R-L ratio differs by an order of magnitude, the numerical difference of the deflection angle Φ calculated by each row of orifices 113 of a single print head 112 is small, so that the average value of the deflection angles Φ of the rows of orifices 113 or the deflection angle Φ of the middle position of the rows of orifices 113 can be calculated as the inclination angle of the row of print heads 112 installed relative to the head tray 111. And the ink jetting directions of the multiple rows of jet holes 113 of the row of printing nozzles 112 are all approximately vertical to the surface of the roller within the tolerance range. On the other hand, each of the individual print heads 112 has an order of magnitude difference in R-L ratioThe distance between the rows of orifices 113 is correspondingly smaller, so that the heights of the rows of orifices 113 relative to the surface of the roller can be approximately equal, and the influence of the curvature of the surface of the roller on the spray quality of the printing nozzle 112 is further reduced.
Preferably, the moving direction of the head tray 111 includes an angle value with the first reference line 121, that is: the alpha is less than or equal to 20 degrees. When the head tray 111 is located at different heights H, the included angle α will affect the actual distance from the nozzle 113 of the print head 112 to the first reference line 121. When the included angle α takes a positive value, the included angle α increases the actual distance from the nozzle hole 113 to the first reference line 121; when the included angle α takes a negative value, the included angle α will decrease the actual distance from the nozzle 113 to the first reference line 121. This effect will be greater as the value of the angle a increases. In practical application, the value of the included angle α should not exceed 20 °, and the included angle α has a value range of [ -20 °,20 ° ].
Preferably, the deflection angle phi ranges from 1 deg. to 5 deg.. According to the calculation formula of the deflection angle phi, the deflection angle phi is comprehensively influenced by the distance L, the height H, the included angle alpha and the radius R. When the deflection angle phi of the orifices 113 of the print head 112 with respect to the first reference line 121 is between 1 deg. and 5 deg., the influence of the working height of the head tray 111 and the distribution of the orifices 113 of the print head 112 on the inclination angle of the print head 112 can be reduced. For example, for a print head 112 with multiple rows of orifices 113, when the print head 112 is mounted at an inclination of 3 ° with respect to the head tray 111, within an error range of 2 °, any row of orifices 113 on the print head 112 can be considered as perpendicular to the roll surface at any working height, with their ink ejection direction pointing to the center of the roll surface.
In this scheme, print shower nozzle 112 and for the installation of shower nozzle tray 111 slope, both connected modes include: the inclination angle is followed, namely the inclination angle of the printing nozzle 112 relative to the nozzle tray 111 can change under different conditions along with the change of the deflection angle, and the printing nozzle 112 is connected with the nozzle tray 111 through an automatic inclination angle adjusting device; the inclined angle is fixed, and the printing nozzle 112 is connected with the nozzle tray 111 through an inclined angle manual adjusting device (an adjusting sheet, an adjusting fastener and the like).
As shown in fig. 8 to 11, preferably, the inclination angle is fixed, and the head tray 111 is provided with a plurality of mounting grooves for fixing the printing heads 112; the center line of the mounting groove is a third reference line 123, and the third reference line 123 is inclined at a deflection angle phi with respect to the first reference line 121. The installation groove inclined at the deflection angle phi is processed in advance on the spray head tray 111, the printing spray head 112 is directly placed in the installation groove, the printing spray head 112 can be installed at the deflection angle phi in an inclined mode relative to the first reference line 121, and compared with a mode that the printing spray heads 112 are connected with the spray head tray one by one through adjusting sheets or adjusting fasteners, the installation efficiency and the installation accuracy of the inclined installation of the printing spray head 112 are greatly improved.
Further, the mounting groove comprises a first mounting groove 114 and a second mounting groove 115, the first mounting groove 114 and the second mounting groove 115 are symmetrically arranged along the first reference line 121, the intersection included angle of the lower surfaces of the first mounting groove 114 and the second mounting groove 115 is an installation included angle theta, and the installation included angle theta
Figure BDA0003777587490000131
The two rows of printing nozzles 112 can be spliced into an array of printing nozzles 112 by overlapping in a staggered manner, so that two rows of mounting grooves distributed in parallel are correspondingly arranged. The first and second mounting grooves 114 and 115 are symmetrically disposed along the first reference line 121, which is advantageous to simplify the manufacturing process of the head tray 111. Further, the lower surfaces of the first mounting groove 114 and the second mounting groove 115 are flush with the lower surfaces of the two rows of print heads 112, respectively, so as to avoid interference influence on the inkjet process of the print heads 112, and thus the lower surfaces of the first mounting groove 114 and the second mounting groove 115 are also combined to form a concave surface, which coincides with the inkjet surface of the print heads 112.
In this embodiment, the printing heads 112 and the mounting grooves are both arranged in two rows and symmetrically arranged with respect to the first reference line 121 of the head tray 111. The single print head 112 has four rows of orifices 113, specifically of the type XAAR2001-GS12C. The printing head 112 is obliquely installed at an angle of deflection phi =2.56 ° with respect to the first reference line 121 of the head tray 111, the radius of the corresponding cambered printing surface is 570mm, the width of the printing head 112 is 50mm, and the installation included angle theta =174.88 ° between the first installation groove 114 and the second installation groove 115. The plurality of print heads 112 are mounted one by one in the first and second mounting grooves 114 and 115 by fasteners. Furthermore, in other embodiments, the print heads 112 may be arranged in three rows in parallel, with the center line of the print heads 112 in the middle row coinciding with the first reference line 121.
As shown in fig. 9 to 11, optionally, a nozzle cleaning assembly 150 is further included, the nozzle cleaning assembly 150 is mounted on the nozzle tray 111, and the nozzle cleaning assembly 150 includes a negative pressure suction nozzle 151 and a reciprocating drive mechanism 152; the negative pressure suction nozzle 151 abuts against the lower surface of the printing head 112, and the reciprocating driving mechanism 152 drives the negative pressure suction nozzle 151 to reciprocate along the length direction of the head tray 111.
In this embodiment, the negative pressure suction nozzle 151 is located below the head tray 111, and the upper surface of the negative pressure suction nozzle 151 is the same as the ink ejection surface of the print head 112 and contacts with each other. The interior of the negative pressure suction nozzle 151 is communicated with an external negative pressure device, and when the negative pressure device works, the upper surface of the negative pressure suction nozzle 151 has suction force. The reciprocating driving mechanism 152 is installed on the head tray 111, and the reciprocating driving mechanism 152 drives the negative pressure suction nozzle 151 to reciprocate along the length direction of the head tray 111. When the printer is normally used, the negative pressure suction nozzle 151 stays at one end of the nozzle tray 111 in the length direction, and the normal operation of the printing nozzle 112 is not influenced; during cleaning, the reciprocating driving mechanism 152 pushes the negative pressure suction nozzle 151 to sequentially traverse all the print heads 112, and the negative pressure suction nozzle 151 dredges and cleans the nozzle holes 113 of the print heads 112 by suction on the upper surface. The setting of subassembly 150 is washd through the shower nozzle to this scheme, when printing shower nozzle 112 cleanness, just need not print the dismantlement of shower nozzle subassembly, and whole clean process automation goes on, and work efficiency greatly improves.

In the scheme, four groups of printing nozzle assemblies 110 are arranged and respectively correspond to four color divisions (CMYK) of color printing, each group of printing nozzle assemblies 110 is only responsible for painting one color, the number of printing nozzles 112 on the nozzle tray 111 is small (only two rows are required at the lowest), and the processing and manufacturing difficulty of the nozzle tray 111 is reduced. In addition, the left and right print head assemblies 110 are separately driven by the left and right linear movement assemblies 140, so that the movement direction of the print head assembly 110 coincides with the first reference line 121, that is, the included angle α is zero, and the influence of the included angle α on the printing of the print head 112 perpendicular to the surface of the roller 130 is avoided. Secondly, the two middle groups of print head assemblies 110 are driven by the middle linear moving assembly 140 at the same time, so that the number of the linear moving assemblies 140 can be reduced, and the overall size of the printing device can be reduced. Of course, in order to ensure the quality of the inkjet printing of the middle two sets of print head assemblies 110, the angle α between the moving direction of the nozzle holes and the first reference line should be as small as possible.

Further, the left and right print head assemblies 110 are centrally installed on the lower portions of the connection plates 145 of the left and right linearly moving assemblies 140 by fasteners, respectively, with the first reference line 121 of the head tray 111 coinciding with the center line of the linearly moving assembly 140.

Where color-separation multi-pass printing is used for ink-jet printing, the print head assemblies 110 are typically arranged in multiple groups, with each group of print head assemblies 110 performing ink-jet printing of one color. When the printing medium passes through the plurality of groups of printing nozzle assemblies 110 in sequence, each time the inkjet printing of one color is completed, the first UV curing assembly 171 performs the pre-curing on the UV ink of the printing medium, so as to prevent the un-dried UV inks of different colors from interfering with each other, which results in unclear pictures and texts.
