Description

输送装置、输送系统及打印设备 技术领域
本申请实施例涉及打印技术领域,尤其涉及一种输送装置、输送系统及打印设备。
背景技术
喷墨印刷是一种非接触式的印刷模式,喷印设备不必与打印基材进行物理上的接触,从而使得打印基材的材料不受限制。常见地,喷墨印刷可应用于纸张、木板、玻璃、水晶、金属板、塑料(如电路板等)等。
喷印设备内部的打印基材输送系统一般包括机架、送料模块、打印平台及喷印模块等。打印基材由人工或外部机构堆放在送料模块上,送料模块将其输送至设定位置,然后打印平台将该打印基材取走并运送至打印工位,以便于喷印模块对该打印基材进行打印过程。
本申请的发明人在实现本申请的过程中发现:在持续的流水作业过程中,前后堆放于送料模块的打印基材于垂直于打印基材前进方向的方向上的位置往往具有一定差别,其不便于后续的打印过程。
此外,还有一些打印基材输送系统中,送料模块的顶部与打印平台的顶部大致等高设置,送料模块上的打印基材通过外部的运料机构,如机械手、夹爪等,转运至打印平台上。由于打印平台与送料模块的顶部大致等高设置,上述运料机构不便集成于打印平台或运料模块;因为即使打印平台(或送料模块)集成有运料机构时,该运料机构也难以实现水平的进给,以将打印基材从送料模块转运至打印平台,故目前打印基材输送系统整体的占用空间较大。因此,有必要设计一种新的输送装置或系统,且该输送装置或系统便于集成用于转运打印基材的运料机构,以实现更优地空间利用率。

请参阅图1,其示出了本申请其中一实施例提供的输送系统1的立体示意图,该输送系统包括机架11以及至少一输送装置12。其中,机架11用于承载安装输送装置12;输送装置12用于输送打印基材(图中未示出)。输送装置12包括送料模块200、打印平台300与出料模块400。其中,送料模块200用于承载打印基材并将打印基材输送至设定位置。打印平台300用于在送料工位处与送料模块200共同配合而接收送料模块200输送至设定位置的打印基材,并将其送至出料工位;自送料工位至出料工位的过程中,打印基材可依次经过相机对位工位和数码打印工位等工位,而分别进行对位过程和打印过程。其中,送料工位位于送料模块200的下方,出料工位位于出料模块400的下方。出料模块400用于在打印平台300运动至出料工位时,与打印平台300共同配合而接收原本承载于打印平台300的打印基材,并将其输出至输送装置12外,以便于打印基材进行完整的打印流程。接下来,以打印基材为电路板材为例,对该输送装置的具体结构作详细说明;但应当理解,打印基材并不限于电路板材,在本申请的其他实施例中,所述打印基材还可以是纸板、金属板等其他任意可承印的介质,本申请不对其作具体限定。
对于机架11,请具体参阅图1,其整体呈桌台状结构,其用于承载安装上述的输送装置12。机架11是本领域的常规设计,本申请不对其作详细说明。
对于输送装置12,请继续参阅图1,其包括送料模块200、打印平台300与出料模块400。其中,送料模块200与出料模块400均安装于机架11的顶部,两者间隔设置,数码打印工位位于两者中间位置。打印平台300低于送料模块200及出料模块400设置,其可在两者的下方之间运动,以实现将打印基材从送料模块200运送至出料模块400。本实施例中,该输送系统包括三输送装置12,该三输送装置12之间沿垂直于送料模块200指向出料模块400的方向依次且邻近设置。其中,沿图示第一预设方向X位于右侧的为上游输送装置,位于左侧的为下游输送装置;当下游输送装置12的送料模块200无打印基材时,上游输送装置12的送料模块200会向下游输送装置12输送打印基材,以完成补仓过程,该过程快速衔接几乎无 需等待,具有高效率的优点。其中在三组输送装置12上方安装有打印小车机构(未图示),打印小车可以沿着第一预设方向X左右移动,以在在三个数码打印工位之间进行切换。通过三组输送装置12配合相机对位机构(未图示)、打印小车机构实现上料对位、数码打印、转运出料三个工序不等待同时进行,而且上料对位、数码打印、转运出料在不同位置切换进行,数码打印加工效率高。为更好地理解输送装置12的具体结构,以下将依次对同一输送装置12内的送料模块200、打印平台300和出料模块400的具体结构作详细说明。
接下来,首先对送料模块200的具体结构作详细说明。
对于上述送料模块200,请参阅图2至图4,其分别示出了送料模块200的立体示意图,以及该送料模块200两个方向的分解示意图,该送料模块200包括第一基座210、输送机构220以及定位机构230。其中,第一基座210安装于上述机架11的顶部,其用于承载安装上述输送机构220以及定位机构230。输送机构220包括载料组件221与输送驱动组件222;该载料组件221安装于第一基座210,并用于承载打印基材;该输送驱动组件222用于驱动承载于载料组件221的打印基材沿图示第一预设方向X行进。定位机构230包括两定位板231以及定位驱动组件232。两定位板231之间沿图示第二预设方向Y相对设置于载料组件221的两侧;定位驱动组件232分别与两定位板231连接,其用于驱动两定位板231等距地相互靠近或远离,以使两定位板231之间的间隙与打印基材的宽度相适配;则,打印基材沿第二预设方向Y的两侧边缘将分别受到对应的定位板231约束,即定位机构230可对前后堆放于载料组件221上的打印基材进行定位,而保证各打印基材沿第二预设方向Y的位置保持一致。其中,上述的“第一预设方向X”为该送料模块200安装于机架100时的一水平方向,其也是上述各输送装置12之间的排列方向;上述的“第二预设方向Y”为该送料模块200安装于机架11时的另一水平方向,且该“第二预设方向Y”与上述“第一预设方向X”相互垂直,其也是同一输送装置12内的送料模块200指向出料模块400的方向。
其中,对于前述第一基座210,请具体参阅图2,第一基座210为一中空的矩形框架状结构,其用于支撑或安装上述的输送机构220与定位机构230。
其中,对于前述输送机构220,其具体包括载料组件221和输送驱动组件222。请具体参阅图5,其示出了图3中A处的局部放大示意图,同时结合其他附图,该载料组件221安装于第一基座210内部的中空区域,上述送料工位具体位于该载料组件221的下方。载料组件221包括基板2211、主动轮2212、从动轮2213以及输送带2214。其中,基板2211整体呈一沿第一预设方向X延伸且立直设置的板状结构。第一基座210上安装有两沿第二预设方向Y延伸的导杆211,该两导杆211沿上述第一预设方向X间隔设置;基板2211沿第一预设方向X上的两端分别套接于该两导杆211。主动轮2212可转动地安装于基板2211,其转动轴线与上述第二预设方向Y相同。从动轮2213可转动地安装于基板2211,其与前述主动轮2212之间沿第一预设方向X平行间隔设置。输送带2214整体呈封闭的环状结构,其同时绕设于主动轮2212与从动轮2213,其背离第一基座210底部的上部区域用于承载打印基材。本实施例中,输送机构220包括两载料组件221,该两载料组件221沿第二预设方向Y相对设置; 更具体地,两载料组件221的基板2211安装有主动轮2212的一面彼此相对设置,两输送带2214共同用于承载打印基材,即是:打印基材架设于两载料组件221的顶部。较优地,输送带2214的上表面略高于基板2211的上表面;如此,在输送带2214载有打印基材的情况下,基板2211可辅助支撑打印基材,从而避免输送带2214上部区域因负重过高而下凹幅度过大,并影响打印基材正常行进的弊端。
请具体参阅图3,同时结合图4与图5,输送驱动组件222分别与上述两主动轮2212连接,并用于驱动两主动轮2212转动,进而带动输送带2214的上部区域沿第一预设方向X行进,从而间接地带动承载于输送带2214的打印基材一同行进。具体地,该输送驱动组件222包括连接轴2221以及旋转驱动单元2222。其中,连接轴2221沿第二预设方向Y延伸,其分别与两主动轮2212连接,该两主动轮2212均相对连接轴2221周向固定,即主动轮2212不可相对连接轴2221发生转动。本实施例中,连接轴2221包括连接部2223,连接部2223的截面为非圆形,如扇形、弓形、正多边形等均可;而主动轮2212上设有与连接部2223相适配连接孔(图中未示出)。连接部2223插入上述连接孔,以使主动轮2212相对连接轴2221周向固定的同时,还与连接轴2221之间沿第二预设方向Y滑动配合。可以理解的是,在本申请的其他实施例中,如仅需保证主动轮2212相对连接轴2221周向固定,实则还可将两者直接固定连接。旋转驱动单元2222与连接轴2221的一端连接,其用于驱动连接轴2221转动,以使两主动轮2212同步转动,进而使输送带2214的上部区域沿第一预设方向X行进。本实施例中,旋转驱动单元2222包括电机以及带传动机构。具体地,详见图3,并结合其他附图,该电机安装于第一基座210;带传动机构包括两带轮以及同步带,一带轮套接于该电机的输出轴,另一带轮套接于连接轴2221的端部,同步带绕设于该两带轮,从而使电机与连接轴2221实现联动。可以理解的是,本申请对旋转驱动单元2222的具体结构形式并不作具体限定,只要其可驱动连接轴2221周转即可;在本申请的其他实施例中,旋转驱动单元2222还可以是仅包括电机,或同时包括电机与齿轮组机构,亦或是同时包括电机以及连杆机构等,在此不一一详举。此外,本实施例中,输送驱动组件222是通过驱动输送带2214而间接驱动打印基材运动,但在本申请其他的实施方式中,输送驱动组件222还可以是直接地驱动打印基材运动。
进一步地,为方便调节上述两载料组件221之间的间隙,从而使载料组件221可适应承载不同尺寸规格的打印基材,该输送机构220还包括调距驱动组件223,该调距驱动组件223分别与上述两基板2211连接,并用于驱动两载料组件221之间相互靠近或远离。请具体参阅图3,同时结合其他附图,调距驱动组件223包括第一丝杆2231与第一周转驱动件2232。第一丝杆2231整体沿第二预设方向Y延伸,其两端可转动地安装于第一基座210,沿第二预设方向Y,其相对于第一基座210固定。该第一丝杆2231包括彼此相对固定的第一连接部22311与第二连接部22312,该第一连接部22311与第二连接部22312的螺距相等且旋向相反;其中,第一连接部22311穿过一基板2211并与该基板2211螺纹连接,第二连接部22312穿过另一基板2211并与该另一基板2211螺纹连接;则当第一丝杆2231发生周向转动时,两基板 2211之间将等距地相向靠拢或背向远离。较优地,为使基板2211沿第一预设方向X的两端可同步地移动,而并非通过单侧移动进而带动另一侧被动移动,从而优化载料组件221的移动效果,该调距驱动组件223包括两第一丝杆2231,该两第一丝杆2231之间沿第一预设方向X间隔设置于基板2211的两端。本实施例中,第一周转驱动件2232包括一电机与带传动机构。具体地,该电机安装于第一基座210;该带传动机构包括至少三带轮以及同步带,其中,一带轮套接于该电机是输出轴,另外两带轮分别一一对应地套接于第一丝杆2231的端部,同步带依次绕设于各带轮,以实现电机与两第一丝杆2231之间的连动。可以理解的是,与上述旋转驱动单元2222类似,本申请对第一周转驱动件2232的具体结构形式并不作具体限定,只要其可驱动第一丝杆2231周转即可。
其中,对于前述定位机构230,该定位机构230包括两定位板231与定位驱动组件232。请具体参阅图5,同时结合其他附图,两定位板231分别位于两载料组件221的两侧,每一定位板231包括整体沿第一预设方向X延伸并立直设置的挡板2311。在一些实施例中,上述两挡板2311通过以下方式实现对打印基材的定位:打印基材承载于载料组件之上,两挡板2311在相互靠近的过程中可与打印基材的侧边缘抵接,并不断推动打印基材,直至两挡板2311之间的间隙与打印基材沿第二预设方向Y的宽度相同;由于两挡板2311是等距地靠近的,故在打印基材规格一致的情况下,前后堆放于送料模块上的打印基材沿第二预设方向Y的位置将保持一致。即是,定位机构230的设置可解决前后堆放于送料模块200上的打印基材于第二预设方向Y上位置具有差别,进而影响后续正常打印过程的弊端。在一些实施例中,上述两挡板2311通过以下方式实现对打印基材的定位:在打印基材进入送料模块200之前,通过上述定位驱动组件232将两挡板2311之间的间隙调节至即将传送的打印基材的宽度;如此,前后堆放于送料模块200上的打印基材沿第二预设方向Y的位置将保持一致。
请具体参阅图3,同时结合其他附图,该定位驱动组件232包括第二丝杆2321与第二周转驱动件2322。第二丝杆2321整体沿第二预设方向Y延伸,其两端可转动地安装于第一基座210,沿第二预设方向Y,其相对于第一基座210固定。该第二丝杆2321包括彼此相对固定的第三连接部23211(图4)与第四连接部23212,该第三连接部23211与第四连接部23212的螺距相等且旋向相反;第三连接部23211通过一固定于定位板231的螺母而与该定位板231间接地螺纹连接,第四连接部23212通过固定于另一定位板231上的另一螺母而间接地与该另一定位板231螺纹连接。则,当第二丝杆2321发生周向转动时,两定位板231之间将等距地相向靠近或背向远离。较优地,为使定位板231沿第一预设方向X的两端可同步地移动,而并非通过单侧移动进而带动另一侧被动移动,从而优化两定位板231的移动效果,该调距驱动组件223包括两第二丝杆2321,该两第二丝杆2321之间沿第一预设方向X间隔设置于定位板231的两端。
本实施例中,第二周转驱动件2322包括电机与两带传动机构。具体地,该电机安装于第一基座210。请先参阅图3,一带传动机构包括两带轮以及同步带,其中,一带轮套接于该电机是输出轴,另一带轮套接于一第二丝杆2321的一端,同步带绕设于该两带轮,以建立电机 与一第二丝杆2321之间的连动。请再参阅图4,另一带传动机构包括至少两带轮以及同步带,并通过该带轮与同步带建立两第二丝杆2321之间的联动,其实现方式与前述的带传动机构相似,在此不再赘述。则,第二周转驱动件2322可通过其内的电机控制两第二丝杆2321转动,进而控制两定位板231等距地相互靠近或远离。可以理解的是,与上述第一周转驱动件2232类似,本申请对第二周转驱动件2322的具体结构形式并不作具体限定,只要其可驱动第二丝杆2321周转即可。
进一步地,为避免打印基材(如柔性电路板)伸出于两载料组件221之外的部分因重力而发生下垂,进而影响打印基材在该送料模块200上的输送,上述定位板231还包括支撑部2312。具体地,请参阅图5,同时结合其他附图,支撑部2312整体呈沿第一预设方向X延伸的扁平的板状;而沿第二预设方向Y,支撑部2312的一端固定于挡板2311,另一端则朝向上述载料组件221延伸。支撑部2312用于支撑打印基材的边缘,以克服上述不足。则,在实际使用中,用户可控制两载料组件221之间的间隙大致为打印基材于第二预设方向Y上宽度的三分之一,挡板2311与邻近的载料组件221之间的间隙亦大致为打印基材宽度的三分之一,从而尽可能降低打印基材在不同部位(即两载料组件221之间,相邻的挡板与载料组件221之间)的下凹程度。
更进一步地,请继续参阅图5,上述定位板231还包括限位部2313,该限位部2313固定于挡板2311并设于支撑部2312的上方,该限位部2313与支撑部2312之间相对设置,且挡板2311、支撑部2312与限位部2313共同围成一用于收纳打印基材的边缘的收容槽。限位部2313一方面可限制打印基材沿第一预设方向X行进过程中于图示竖直方向的跳动;另一方面还可在其外部的机构,如打印平台300,将打印基材自载料组件221上顶起的过程中,阻止打印基材于图示竖直方向发生不规律的跳动。
进一步地,为方便打印基材在经定位机构230定位之后,能够在输送机构220的驱使下精准的行进至设定位置,该送料模块还包括传感器240与控制器。具体地,请返回参阅图2,同时结合其他附图,传感器240安装于第一基座210,其用于检测打印基材沿第一预设方向X是否行进至预设位置。可选地,传感器240为光电开关;可以理解的是,在本申请的其他实施例中,传感器240还可以是红外传感器或图像传感器等其他传感器,在此不一一限定。控制器(图中未示出)分别与该传感器240、上述输送驱动组件222以及定位驱动组件232连接,该控制器用于在传感器240检测到打印基材行进至预设位置时,控制输送驱动组件222驱动打印基材沿第一预设方向X行进设定距离,而到达上述设定位置。
紧接着,以打印基材中心运动至送料模块200的中心为例,结合各附图对上述传感器240、输送机构220、定位机构230以及控制器之间的运作原理作简要说明。
首先,用户或工作人员向一与上述控制器连接的输入模块(图中未示出)输入需要传送的打印基材的具体尺寸,控制器可根据该具体尺寸参数而控制两载料组件221之间的距离为打印基材宽度的三分之一;同时控制器亦可根据上述尺寸参数预先控制定位机构230的两定位板231之间的间隙与打印基材的宽度适配。
第一基座210设有一与上述中空结构连通的入口212,打印基材可经由该入口212而运动至承载于载料组件221;传感器240设于上述入口的上方。
当传感器240检测到打印基材刚进入上述入口212,即上述预设位置时,控制器控制输送驱动组件222驱使输送带2214前进设定距离,以使打印基材的中心位于该送料模块200的中心。其中,该设定距离L等于,传感器240与送料模块200中心之间沿第一预设方向X上的距离L1,以及打印基材沿第一预设方向X方向上长度的一半L2,之和。值得一提的是,该设定距离L是可以在用户输入打印基材的尺寸参数后,由控制器预先计算得出的。
接下来,对打印平台300的具体结构作详细说明。
请一并参阅图6至图7,其分别示出了打印平台300的立体示意图以及该打印平台300隐藏台板后的立体示意图,该打印平台300包括第二基座310、运料板320以及运料驱动机构330。第二基座310用于承载安装上述运料板320以及运料驱动机构330,其包括用于承载打印基材(图中未示出)的台板311。运料驱动机构330与运料板320连接,该运料驱动机构330用于驱动运料板320于相对于台板311的第一预设位置与第二预设位置之间升降。其中,于第一预设位置,运料板320的上表面高于台板311的上表面;于第二预设位置,运料板320的上表面低于或平齐于台板311的上表面,上述台板311的上表面设有供运料板320升降过程中进入或通过的收容槽301。
其中,对于上述第二基座310,请具体参阅图6,第二基座310包括台板311、底板312以及若干支撑杆313。其中,台板311整体呈一扁平的板状结构,并呈图示水平设置。该台板311低于上述输送带2214的上表面,其用于承载打印基材。底板312设于台板311的下方,并与台板311相对设置。支撑杆313设于台板311与底板312之间,支撑杆313的两端分别与台板311、底板312固定;本实施例中,第二基座310包括六支撑杆313,该六支撑杆313分布成相对设置的两组,每组中的各支撑杆313均设置于底板312的边缘。
其中,对于上述运料板320及运料驱动机构330,请具体参阅图6与图7,运料板320位于台板311背离底板312的一侧,运料板320与台板311之间沿图示竖直方向相对设置,其水平面的投影落于台板311上,且截面轮廓小于打印基材的截面轮廓。可选地,运料板320大致呈四角星形状。运料驱动机构330与运料板320连接,其用于驱动运料板320沿垂直于台板311的方向于相对于台板311的第一预设位置与相对于台板311的第二预设位置之间运动。其中,于第一预设位置,运料板320的上表面高于台板311上表面,较优地,第一预设位置与载料组件221的上部区域大致平齐,以便于运料板320接收送料模块200上的打印基材;于第二预设位置,运料板320的上表面低于或平齐于台板311的上表面,以便于运料板320将打印基材放置于台板311表面,相应地,上述台板311的上表面设有供该运料板320进入或者完全通过的收容槽301。
本实施例中,该收容槽301包括沿图示竖直方向彼此连通的容置槽(图中未示出)与连通槽(图中未示出)。容置槽的形状与运料板320的形状相适配或大于运料板320的轮廓均可,其上端贯通台板311的上表面,其用于在运料板320自第一预设位置运动至第二预设位 置时收容该运料板320,即是,第二预设位置位于容置槽内。连通槽的一端贯通该容置槽的底壁,另一端向背离运料板320的方向延伸并贯通台板311的下表面;如此,连通槽的截面轮廓将小于容置槽的截面轮廓,从而可使在运料板320自第一预设位置运动至第二预设位置的过程中,容置槽的底壁与运料板320抵持,进而使得运料板320每次到达的第二预设位置均一致。上述运料驱动机构330的输出端穿过连通槽,并与运料板320固定。可选地,运料驱动机构330包括气缸,该气缸可通过其输出端的伸缩,控制运料板320于第一预设位置与第二预设位置之间运动;可以理解的是,在本申请的其他实施例中,运料驱动机构330亦可以是任意形式的动力机构,如电机丝杆机构、曲柄滑块机构等,只要其可驱动运料板320于第一预设位置与第二预设位置之间运动即可。此外,在本申请的其他实施例中,连通槽的截面轮廓亦可以大于运料板320的截面轮廓,以使收容槽301整体可供运料板320通过,此时,当运料板320的第二预设位置可以是位于收容槽301内,也可以是位于台板的下方。
紧接着,结合图6与图7,对运料板320及运料驱动机构330的运作过程作简要说明。
取料过程:在打印过程进行之前,打印平台300先运动至上述送料工位,运料驱动机构330驱动运料板320自第二预设位置上升至第一预设位置,该过程中运料板320顶升并承托原本承载于送料模块(图中未示出)上的打印基材;然后,送料模块200的两载料组件221与两定位板231均运动至与运料板320完全分离,以为运料板320下行提供避让空间;之后,运料驱动机构330驱动运料板320自第一预设位置运动至第二预设位置,由于在第二预设位置,运料板320的上表面低于或平齐于台板311的上表面,则运料板320将承载于台板311上表面;接下来,打印平台300的负压系统(图中未示出)吸风,将打印基材进一步吸附与打印平台上;之后,打印平台沿第二预设方向Y依次经过对位工位和打印工位,以进行对位过程和打印过程。
出料过程:在打印过程结束之后,打印平台300先运动至上述出料工位,上述负压系统停止吸风,运料驱动机构330驱动运料板320自第二预设位置上升至第一预设位置,该过程中运料板320顶升并承托原本承载于台板311上的打印基材,以便于出料模块400接收该打印基材。由于打印基材的底面轮廓是大于运料板320的,故打印基材侧边缘是悬空的,其给出料模块400接收打印基材的过程提供了便利。然后,运料驱动机构330驱动运料板320复位至第二预设位置,即运料板320收容于上述容置槽,以便于进行下一次打印的准备过程。

对于上述第二调距组件353,请具体参阅图10及图11,同时结合其他附图,第二调距组件353分别与两第二升降组件352连接,并用于驱动两第二升降组件352相互靠近或远离,以相应地带动两第二压持组件351适应性地运动至打印基材的边缘。本实施例中,第二升降组件352通过上述第二安装座3522与第二基座310之间沿第二预设方向Y滑动配合;具体地,第二安装座3522的顶部设有滑块,台板311下表面设有沿第二预设方向Y延伸并与该滑块相适配的滑轨,该滑块与滑轨配合,以使第二安装座3522与第二基座310之间滑动配合。第二调距组件353包括第四丝杆3531与第二周转驱动单元3532。其中,第四丝杆3531整体沿第二预设方向Y延伸,其两端可转动地安装于台板311底部。该第四丝杆3531包括彼此相对固定的第七连接部35311与第八连接部35312,该第七连接部35311与第八连接部35312的螺距相等且旋向相反;其中,第七连接部35311通过安装于第二安装座3522的螺母,而与该第二安装座3522间接螺纹连接,第八连接部35312通过另一安装于另一第二安装座3522的螺母,而与该另一第二安装座3522间接螺纹连接。则,当第四丝杆3531发生周向转动时,两第二安装座3522之间将等距地相向靠拢或背向远离。本实施例中,第二周转驱动单元3532包括一电机与带传动机构。具体地,该电机安装于台板311;该带传动机构包括两带轮以及同步带,其中,一带轮套接于该电机是输出轴,另一带轮套接于第四丝杆3531的端部,该同步带绕设于两带轮,以实现电机与第四丝杆3531之间的联动。第二调距组件353的设置一方面便于适应不同尺寸规格的打印基材,另一方面还可使打印基材的中心对齐于两第二压持组件351的中心,即是第二调距组件353的设置还方便对打印基材进行定位。可以理解的是,与上述第一周转驱动单元3432类似,本申请对第二周转驱动单元3532的具体结构形式并不 作具体限定,只要其可驱动第四丝杆3531周转即可。
应当理解,即使本实施例中,第四丝杆3531是通过安装于第二安装座3522的螺母而间接地与第二升降驱动单元3521螺纹连接,但在本申请的其他实施例中,第四丝杆3531亦可以直接与第二升降驱动单元3521螺纹连接,即是,只要确保第四丝杆3531与第二升降组件352螺纹连接即可;例如,第二升降组件352包括一第二升降驱动单元3521,上述第七连接部35311与第八连接部35312分别直接地与对应的第二升降驱动单元3521直接螺纹连接。当然,本申请对第二调距组件353的结构形式亦不作具体限定,例如在本申请的其他实施例中,第二调距组件353还可以是电机齿轮齿条的组合、电机与同步带机构的组合等,只要使第二调距组件353可同时驱动两第二升降组件352相互靠近或远离即可。
进一步地,该打印平台还包括第二基座驱动机构(图中未示出),具体请结合图6与图1,该第二基座驱动机构与第二基座310连接,用于驱动第二基座310沿第二预设方向Y运动,从而便于打印平台300于不同的送料工位、相机对位工位、打印工位及出料工位之间往复运动。可选地,该第二基座驱动机构为直线电机;可以理解的是,在本申请的其他实施例中,该第二基座驱动机构亦可以为其他任意能够实现直线输出的动力机构。
紧接着,结合各附图对第一装夹机构340及第二装夹机构350的工作原理作简要说明。
在打印过程进行之前,第二基座驱动机构先驱动第二基座310运动至送料工位,即送料模块200的下方。然后,运料驱动机构330驱动运料板320执行前述的取料过程。之后,第一调距组件343驱动两第一升降组件342相互靠近,直至两第一压持组件341中的第一压杆34112抵持或者靠近打印基材的边缘;同时,第二调距组件353驱动两第二升降组件352相互靠近,直至两第二压持组件351中的第二压杆35112抵持或靠近打印基材的边缘,以将打印基材推动至各第一、第二压持组件的中心位置。接下来,第一升降组件342驱动相应地第一压持组件341下压,以使第一压板34111压紧打印基材;同时第二升降组件352驱动相应的第二压持组件351下压,以使第二压板35111压紧打印基材。最后,第二基座驱动机构驱动第二基座310运动至打印工位即可。
在打印过程结束之后,第二基座驱动机构先驱动第二基座310运动至出料工位。然后,第一升降组件342驱动相应地第一压持组件341抬升,以使第一压板34111释放打印基材;同时第二升降组件352驱动相应的第二压持组件351抬升,以使第二压板35111释放打印基材。之后,第一调距组件343驱动两第一升降组件342相互远离,同时,第二调距组件353驱动两第二升降组件352相互远离,以为打印基材上升提供避让空间。接下来,运料驱动机构330驱动运料板320抬升,以进行出料过程。
最后,对出料模块400作出说明。
对于上述出料模块400,其具体结构与前述的送料模块200基本相同,两者的区别仅在于执行不同的流程,即是:送料模块200位于打印工位的上游,其用于将打印基材输送至设定位置以便打印平台300接收;而出料模块400位于打印工位的下游,其用于接收打印平台300完成打印过程的打印基材,并向输送装置12外部输出,具体为,直接输送至输送系统1 的外部,或经由其下游出料模块400传递而间接输送至输送系统1外部。如前文所述,打印平台300可在送料工位与出料工位之间运动。当打印平台300运动至出料工位时,出料模块400中的两定位板及两载料组件相互远离;然后,第一装夹机构340与第二装夹机构350释放打印基材,运料驱动机构330驱动运料板320至第一预设位置,打印基材略高于载料组件的顶部且与定位板中的收容槽高度大致相当;之后,出料模块400的两载料组件相互靠拢,两定位板亦相互靠拢;之后,运料驱动机构330驱动运料板320至第二预设位置,打印基材落于出料模块400。最后,打印基材在出料模块400的驱动下离开该输送装置12。请结合图1,本实施例中位于左侧的出料模块400直接将打印基材输出该输送装置,位于中间或右侧的出料模块400将打印基材输出至其左侧的出料模块400,以便于打印基材在经由各出料模块400后流向其他装置。
值得一提的是,本实施例提供的输送系统1包括多个输送装置12,其使得一输送装置12内的打印基材进行打印过程的同时,其他输送装置12内的打印基材可进行送料模块200送料、打印平台300取料、打印平台300出料以及出料模块400出料等其他过程,而减少打印设备的整体等待时间,有助于提升打印设备的打印效率。
当打印平台300位于送料工位处时,打印基材随运料板320下行的过程中可能会相对运料板320发生跳动,导致打印基材落在打印平台300上的位置与期望位置发生偏移。为克服这一不足,该输送系统1还包括压料模块500。请一并参阅图12至图13,同时结合图1,其分别示出了本申请其中一实施例提供的压料模块500的两个方向的立体示意图,该压料模块500用于在打印基材随运料板320下行的过程中抵压打印基材(图中未示出),以使所述打印基材相对于运料板保持相对固定。该压料模块500包括支架510与压料机构520。
对于前述支架510,请具体参阅图12及图13,其包括横梁511与立架512。其中,立架512如图示立直设置;本实施例中,立架512的数量为两个,该两个立架512之间沿图示第一预设方向X相对设置,且分别位于各输送装置12的外侧。该横梁511沿图示第一预设方向X延伸,并悬设于各送料模块200的上方,其两端分别一一对应地安装于一立架512,横梁511用于承载安装上述的压料机构520。可选地,横梁511为型材;当然,在本申请的其他实施例中,横梁511亦可以是实体钢材、钢管等其他结构,只要其可承载安装压料机构520即可。值得一提的是,本实施例中两立架512的形状不相同,其中一立架512为立直的梁状结构,另一立架512为倒置的“Y”形结构;但应当理解,在本申请其他的实施例中,两立架512的形状亦可以相同,本申请不对两立架512之间是否具有差异作出限定。
对于前述压料机构520,请继续参阅图12与图13,其包括压料板521与压料驱动单元522。压料板521设于图示横梁511的下方,并与送料工位对应。压料驱动单元522安装于横梁511,并与压料板521连接,其用于驱动压料板521升降,以使压料板521压紧或释放承载于运料板320上的打印基材,从而避免打印基材下降的过程中相对运料板320跳动。本实施例中,压料机构520的数量为至少两个,该至少两个压料机构520沿横梁511延伸的方向间隔设置,以适应对多个输送装置12上的打印基材进行抵压固定的需求。为便于理解,接下 来对单个压料机构520的具体结构做详细说明。
其中,对于压料板521,请具体参阅图14及图15,其分别示出了压料板521的两个方向的立体示意图,同时结合图12与图13,该压料板521包括主板体523以及弹性的缓冲垫524。具体地,主板体523包括位于中央部位的基部5231,以及至少两个自该基部5231的边缘向外延伸形成的延伸部5232。本实施例中,延伸部5232的数量为六个;可以理解的是,本申请对延伸部5232的数量并不作具体限定,在其他实施例中,延伸部5232的数量亦可以是三个、四个等其他多于两个的任意数量。可选地,各延伸部5232之间绕基部5231的中心呈圆周阵列分布;当然,各延伸部5232阵列的中心亦可以不是基部5231的中心。
缓冲垫524固定于主板体523背离横梁511的一侧,其整体呈圆台形的凸起状,其由弹性材料,如橡胶、硅胶、弹性海绵等,制成。该缓冲垫524用于在压料板521下降的过程中与上述打印基材抵接,由于其具有弹性,故可以避免主板体523直接与打印基材刚性抵接而损伤打印基材本身。较优地,缓冲垫524的数量为多个,其中,基部5231的中心部位设有一缓冲垫524,每一延伸部5232的自由端亦设有一缓冲垫524,即是,压料板521中至少部分缓冲垫524之间呈圆周阵列;基于此,压料板521可同时对打印基材的中央和轮廓边缘进行抵压,以使打印基材各处的受力相对均匀,进而提升打印基材的固定效果。
对于前述压料驱动单元522,请返回参阅图12及图13,本实施例中,其具体包括第一气缸,该第一气缸的主体固定于横梁511的底部,该第一气缸的输出端与压料板521的顶部,即压料板521背离缓冲垫524的一侧连接。
进一步地,为使得压料板521施加于打印基材上的压力合适,既不会过小而导致打印基材容易活动,也不会过大而损坏打印基材及运料板的驱动机构,该压料模块500还包括调压阀525。具体地,请参阅图12与图13,调压阀525安装于支架510,其与压料机构520中的各第一气缸连接,并用于调节各第一气缸的气压;如此,工作人员可通过调节调压阀525而调整各第一气缸的气压至合适气压,以实现上述目的。
当打印平台位于压料板521下方时,工作人员对打印平台的可操作空间是较小的,例如,工作人员不能够快速、顺畅地将打印基材手动放置于打印平台,或者将承载于打印平台的打印基材取走。为克服这一不足,该压料模块500还包括横梁驱动机构530。具体地,请结合图12与图13,横梁511的端部并非固定安装于立架512,而是通过横梁驱动机构530而活动安装于立架512。更具体地,横梁驱动机构530安装于立架512,并与横梁511连接,其用于驱动横梁511升降,以使横梁511及压料机构520整体升降,从而调整工作人员对打印平台的可操作空间。本实施例中,横梁驱动机构530包括第二气缸,该第二气缸的主体安装于立架512,该第二气缸的输出端与横梁511连接;可以理解的是,在本申请的其他实施例中,横梁驱动机构530还可以是油缸、电机丝杆等其他任意可驱动横梁511升降的机构,在此不一一限定。
本申请实施例提供的输送系统1包括机架11和输送装置12。其中,输送装置包括送料模块200、打印平台300与出料模块400。
送料模块200包括第一基座210、输送机构220和定位机构230。其中,输送机构220包括载料组件221与输送驱动组件222。载料组件221安装于第一基座210并用于承载打印基材;输送驱动组件222用于驱动承载于载料组件221的打印基材沿第一预设方向X行进。定位机构230包括两定位板231以及定位驱动组件232。两定位板231之间沿第二预设方向Y相对设置于载料组件221的两侧;定位驱动组件232分别与两定位板231连接,其用于驱动两定位板231等距地相互靠近或远离,以使两定位板231之间的间隙与打印基材的宽度相适配,从而对打印基材进行定位。与目前市场上的输送系统相比,由于本申请实施例提供的输送系统1其中的送料模块200可通过定位驱动组件232使两定位板231的间隙与打印基材的宽度适配,从而对打印基材进行定位。即是,前后堆放于该送料模块200的打印基材都将在两定位板231的约束作用下,而在垂直于打印基材前进方向上的位置均保持一致。故本申请实施例提供的送料模块可解决前后堆放于送料模块的打印基材于垂直于打印基材前进方向上的位置具有差别的技术问题。
另外,本输送系统1中的打印平台300可通过运料板320上升至第一预设位置,从而在该过程中顶升并承托位于运料模块的打印基材,还可通过运料板320下降至第二预设位置,从而将打印基材放置于台板311表面。运料板320仅在取料的过程中会伸出于台板311,而在打印平台300不取料的情况下,运料板320位于第二预设位置,其并不外露于打印平台300,运料板320并不额外占用喷印设备的空间,其有利于减小包括该输送系统的打印设备的整体占用空间,便于促进打印设备小型化的实现。
另外,本输送系统1中的压料模块500可通过压料驱动单元522适时地驱动压料板521升将,而将承载于运料板上的打印基材稳固地压紧于运料板320,其可避免打印基材在随运料板320自送料模块200处下降的过程中相对运料板320发生跳动的弊端,从而保证打印基材可以落在打印平台上的期望位置。
基于同一发明构思,本申请还提供一种输送装置,该输送装置与上述实施例中的输送装置结构相同,故该输送装置亦可以解决前后堆放于送料模块的打印基材于垂直于打印基材前进方向上的位置具有差别的技术问题。
基于同一发明构思,本申请还提供一种打印设备,该打印设备包括上述实施例中的输送装置12或输送系统1。故该打印设备亦可以解决前后堆放于送料模块的打印基材于垂直于打印基材前进方向上的位置具有差别的技术问题。
最后应说明的是:以上实施例仅用以说明本申请的技术方案,而非对其限制;在本申请的思路下,以上实施例或者不同实施例中的技术特征之间也可以进行组合,步骤可以以任意顺序实现,并存在如上所述的本申请的不同方面的许多其它变化,为了简明,它们没有在细节中提供;尽管参照前述实施例对本申请进行了详细的说明,本领域的普通技术人员应当理解:其依然可以对前述各实施例所记载的技术方案进行修改,或者对其中部分技术特征进行等同替换;而这些修改或者替换,并不使相应技术方案的本质脱离本申请各实施例技术方案的范围。
