detailed description

The present invention will be further described below in conjunction with the drawings and specific embodiments.

Referring to FIG. 1 , a flow-through printing control method according to the present invention includes the following steps:

S1: Control the traditional printing machine to position the printing medium according to the current process, and take the positioning success signal of the traditional printing machine as the starting work signal of the traditional printing machine and the digital printing machine.

S2: After receiving the positioning success signal, the traditional printing machine and the digital printing machine are respectively controlled to perform printing according to their current printing processes.

S3: judging whether the traditional printing end signal and the digital printing end signal have been received, if yes, proceeding to step S4, if not, continuing to wait; wherein, when the conventional printing machine completes the current process, the traditional printing end signal is fed back, when the digital After the printing machine completes the current process, the digital printing end signal is fed back.

In the present invention, the conventional printing machine refers to the method of scraping (including an elliptical printing machine, an eight-fish printing machine, a running flat screen printing machine) or a pressing method (a rotary screen printing machine) to adhere the slurry and the pigment. On the fabric, the digital printing machine refers to an inkjet printing machine that adheres ink to the cloth by means of inkjet.

In step S0, the current working mode is first determined, and the working mode is selected by the user. If it is the traditional mode, it means that the digital printing machine does not need to work together. At this time, the traditional printing machine works separately, and the working method and The process is the same as the traditional traditional printing machine workflow; if it is online mode, it means that the traditional printing machine and the digital printing machine need to work together, mainly the digital printing machine as an auxiliary part to assist the traditional printing machine to complete some complicated processes. The premise of the cooperation between the traditional printing machine and the digital printing machine is that the user needs to set the relative positional relationship between the traditional printing machine and the digital printing machine, usually adjusting the initial position of the digital printing machine centering on the traditional printing machine. .

In step S1, the moving and fixing steps of the printing medium are performed by a conventional printing machine, so before starting the printing, the conventional printing machine is first controlled to position, ie move and fix, the printing medium according to the current process, wherein the process is preset Ok, the order relationship between the process and the process is also a preset program. When the printing medium is successfully positioned, the traditional printing opportunity feeds back a positioning success signal, which is used as a signal for the traditional printing machine and the digital printing machine to start working. Then, in step S2, after receiving the positioning success signal, the conventional printing machine and the digital printing machine are respectively controlled to perform the printing work according to the respective current printing processes.

Step S3 is mainly to judge whether the traditional printing machine and the digital printing machine have completed the printing work of the current process, and the traditional printing machine will feedback a traditional printing end signal after completing the current process, and the digital printing machine completes the work of the current process. A digital print end signal will also be fed back. Among them, the digital printing machine needs to return to the initial position of the digital printing machine after completing the current process, and can judge whether the digital printing machine is already performing the action of returning to the initial position by: triggering the return signal by the controller of the digital printing machine itself It is judged that the digital printing machine performs the action of returning to the initial position, or the displacement sensor is installed at the head of the digital printing machine, and when the displacement signal of the displacement sensor is continuously decreasing, the digital printing machine has basically completed the returning action. At this time, it is judged that the digital printing machine performs the action of returning to the initial position, or by setting the photoelectric switch and the photoelectric sensing piece, when the digital printing machine returns to the position, the relative positions of the photoelectric switch and the photoelectric sensing piece are far away, when When the photo-sensing film is not sensed, it is determined that the digital printing machine is performing the operation of returning to the initial position. When the traditional printing machine and the digital printing machine have completed the printing work of the current process, the subsequent steps can be performed to prevent only one of the printing machines from completing the current process, and the other printing machine starts the next one when the current process is not completed. The process causes errors or defects in the print. Therefore, this step is used to ensure that both the conventional printing machine and the digital printing machine have completed their current processes.

Proceeding to step S4, after the conventional printing machine and the digital printing machine have completed the respective current processes, it is judged whether there is a next process, and if so, the process is switched to the next process and step S1 is executed to form a cyclic continuous working mode to realize the flow of water. The work is done until the final process is completed, and the printing is finished.

The above printing control method has the advantages that the digital printing and the traditional printing are perfectly combined by the control method, so that the digital printing machine and the traditional printing machine can make up for their respective shortcomings, give full play to their respective advantages, and print in a flowing manner. The process of making the digital printing machine difficult to carry out is completed in the position of the traditional printing machine, and the personalized part or the part with complicated color is completed in the digital printing machine part, which greatly improves the work efficiency and improves the quality of the product. . And in the process of working together, strictly judge the current working state of the two to prevent errors or defects in the matching printing process.

Among them, the controller is a controller independent of the traditional printing machine and the digital printing machine, or a controller in the traditional printing machine, or a controller in the digital printing machine. As shown in Fig. 2, the controller is independent of the traditional printing machine and the digital printing machine, and the controller is respectively connected with the controller in the traditional printing machine and the controller in the digital printing machine through the data connection line to realize the controller. Communication control between. If the controller is a controller in a conventional printing machine, the function module for realizing the above printing control method is actually added on the basis of the controller in the conventional printing machine; if the controller is a controller in the digital printing machine, actually It is a functional module that implements the above-described printing control method on the basis of the controller in the digital printing machine.
