i. background introduction
printing technology refers to the imprinting of different designs, patterns and characters on specific carriers and fabrics in a certain way. by difference in printing tools, it is divided into forme-based printing and plateless printing . here we mainly talk about one of the plateless methods, the 3d inkjet printing .
the original pattern is designed on a computer, and prints the designated pattern on the carrier by controlling the mechanical inkjet device. it has the advantages of high printing and dyeing efficiency, exquisite pattern, flexible production and non-fading. it is very popular in the industry.
the applications of diaphragm pumps in this industry include:
-waste liquid
-ink degassing
-system vacuum and pressure
-cleaning station
-vacuum (to maintain a constant meniscus pressure of the print head)
-ink tank pump
-chemical supplement
-ink circulation
-pressure injection
ii.application
1. pressurization process: the inkjet process is a continuous process, so a gas storage tank needs to be installed to stabilize the pressure. the air pump will supply air to the gas storage tank, and the pressure in the tank will gradually rise. when the pressure gauge/pressure sensor detects the pressure in the tank reaches a specified pressure, the feedback signal is sent to the intermediate relay, the relay is disconnected, and the pump stops working.
2. pressure stabilization process: the gas storage tank stabilize the capacity pressure, the gas consumption pipeline is connected to the ink tank, the inkjet process continues to consume gas, and the pressure continues to decrease. when the pressure detected by the pressure sensor is lower than the set value, the output signal is sent to the middle relay,then the middle relay is closed, and the pump starts to work to ensure the gas tank constant pressure.
iii. difficulties in application
1. the inkjet process is continuous, and the pump needs to be in a long-term working state, which requires long pump life.2. during the inkjet process, the pump will be in a state of frequent start and stop due to high-frequency gas-consuming operations. it is necessary to replenish the gas tank from time to time to ensure a constant pressure in the tank, which requires extremely high pump stability.
3. inkjet requires a stable pressure, and the pressure supply system is required to maintain high parameter consistency during long-term fatigue work.
