The present invention relates to a screen printing apparatus, and more particularly, to a screen printing apparatus for circular printed matter for printing a circular printed matter, such as a condenser or a beverage bottle.

In general, the screen printing apparatus sprays ink on the upper part of the screen on which the printed pattern is formed and places the print on the lower part of the screen, and then moves the squeegee of the synthetic resin material to the upper part of the screen to move the ink so that the ink is applied to the printed surface. Device.

Such a screen printing apparatus can be printed regardless of the shape of a to-be-printed object such as a flat type or a cylindrical shape, and can be used for prints of various materials such as paper, plastic, cloth, glass, ceramics, leather, and the like.

1 is a view schematically showing a conventional screen printing apparatus for circular printed matter.

As shown in FIG. 1, a conventional screen printing apparatus for circular printed matter includes a screen assembly 20 including a screen 21 on which a printed pattern is formed and a screen frame 22 supporting the screen 21, and a circular printed matter ( A driving roller 31 and a rotating roller 32 for rotatably supporting o), a motor 41 for rotating the driving roller 31, and a squeegee for bringing the screen 21 into close contact with the printed matter o. It consists of 50.

Here, the screen assembly 20 is installed to be movable left and right on one side of the frame 10 and the upper surface of the screen 21 is sprayed with ink. Then, the driving roller 31 is connected to the motor 41 by the power transmission belt 42 and the rotation roller 32 is installed in the frame (10) in an idle (idle) state.

In the conventional screen printing apparatus for circular printed matters having such a configuration, when the circular printed matter o is placed between the driving roller 31 and the rotating roller 32, the squeegee 50 is moved downward by the operation of the cylinder 60. Descend. The lowered squeegee 50 presses the screen 21 to bring the screen 21 into close contact with the printout o. When the screen 21 is in close contact with the printed matter (o), the motor 41 is driven to rotate the drive roller 32, and at the same time the circular printed matter (o) is rotated.

When the printed matter (o) rotates, the screen assembly 20 is moved by the moving means (not shown) at the same speed as the rotational speed of the printed matter (o), the squeegee 50 is the upper surface of the screen 21 The ink is pushed toward the substrate (o) through the printed pattern of the screen 21 while scratching. Therefore, the pattern corresponding to the printed pattern of the screen 21 is printed on the surface of the circular printed matter o.

By the way, in the conventional screen printing apparatus for circular printed matter, if the rotation of the motor 41 for rotating the driving roller 31 is not constant or unstable, the printed pattern printed on the surface of the printed matter (o) is spread, and the motor 41 Even when the driving of the belt 42 connecting the drive rollers 32 and the drive rollers 32 is not constant, vibration may be generated in the drive rollers 31, thereby reducing print quality.

In addition, since the driving roller 31 and the screen assembly 20 are driven by separate driving means, it is difficult to equally match the rotational speed of the circular printed matter o with the moving speed at which the screen 21 moves.

The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, the same as the rotational speed of the circular printed matter and the moving speed of the screen printed pattern in close contact with the printed material by which the printed pattern can be printed evenly without spreading from the circular printed surface It is an object of the present invention to provide a screen printing apparatus.
