In this embodiment, the fixed group 26 is to use the suction motor as the negative pressure part 262, and cooperate with the suction nozzle 261 to achieve the effect of simply fixing the cup container 5. In other embodiments, the fixed group 26 is also Other components can be selected to achieve the effect of fixing the cup container 5, such as air pressure fixture or glue, etc., but not limited thereto.

It should be noted that, in this embodiment, the printing unit 3 is fixed on the housing 21, and the cup container 5 rotates relative to the printing unit 3. In other embodiments, the printing unit 3 may also be The cup container 5 is fixed while moving, or both the printing unit 3 and the cup container 5 are movable, which is not limited thereto.

The control unit 4 is electrically connected to the printing unit 3 and the driving group 24, and includes an operation group 41 that can be operated to input commands to control the printing unit 3 and the rotating base 23, and an operation group 41 for storing multiple presets. Image (not shown) storage group (not shown), the control unit 4 can control the printing unit 3 to print the preset images on the cup container 5 . It is worth mentioning that, in this embodiment, the operation group 41 is a control panel arranged on the housing 21, and the storage group is a detachable storage element (such as a memory card). In other embodiments, the operation group 41 can also be wired or wirelessly connected operating handles, hand-held devices such as mobile phones or tablets, or devices with connection and input functions such as computers, and the storage group can be corresponding memory cards or hard disks, etc. It is not limited to this; in this embodiment, the storage group stores a plurality of preset images, and one or more preset images can be printed on the cup container 5, and in other implementations, it can also be The user needs to store only one default image, which is not limited thereto; and the default image can be text, pattern, trademark or a combination of the foregoing, but is not limited thereto.

During operation, the user can pre-edit a plurality of the preset images to be printed, and store the preset images in the storage group of the control unit 4, and then place the cup container 5 to be printed Place it on the rotating base 23, and then operate the operation group 41 to control the driving group 24 to drive the rotating base 23 to rotate, so that the cup container 5 can rotate, and cooperate with the printing unit 3 to print the preset image After the cup container 5 is placed on the side, the cup container 5 can be taken out, and when different patterns need to be printed, only one or more of the preset images need to be selected, and can even be edited and stored in the storage group in real time. Then print it out.

Compared with the prior art, the present invention, through the collocation of the rotating base 23, the printing unit 3 and the control unit 4, can instantly print a preset image on the cup container 5 according to individual needs, instead of pre-printed images. Excessive cup containers 5 are made to improve adaptability and reduce inventory.

In summary, the cup container jet printing machine of the present invention can indeed achieve the purpose of the present invention.
