Digital inkjet flatbed printer having separate laser processing machine

Abstract

A digital inkjet flatbed printer having a separate laser processing machine includes a laser processing machine and a digital inkjet printer. The laser processing machine is provided with a laser output module and a laser processing platform. The digital inkjet printer includes an inkjet output module and an inkjet operating platform. The inkjet operating platform is capable of movably ascending from and descending onto the digital inkjet printer. Thus, when the inkjet operating platform is descended, the laser processing machine is movably connected to the inkjet operating platform, such that the laser output module of the laser processing machine and the inkjet output module of the digital inkjet printer are on the laser processing platform of the laser processing machine and sequentially used for laser processing and inkjet printing respectively.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

(5) FIG. 1 to FIG. 4 show an embodiment of a digital inkjet flatbed printer having a separate laser processing machine according to an embodiment of the present invention. The digital inkjet flatbed printer includes a laser processing machine 1 and a digital inkjet printer 2.

(6) As shown in FIG. 1, the laser processing machine 1 is provided with a laser output module 11 and a laser processing platform 12, so as to place an object to be processed by laser on the laser processing platform 12 and be processed by the laser output module 11.

(7) As shown in FIG. 2, the digital inkjet printer 2 includes an inkjet output module 21 and an inkjet operating platform 22, so as to place an object to be printed t on the inkjet operating platform 22 and be printed by the inkjet output module 21.

(8) As shown in FIG. 3, the inkjet operating platform 22 can movably ascending from and descending onto the digital laser machine 2. Thus, when the inkjet operating platform 22 is descended, the laser processing machine 1 can be movably connected to the inkjet operating platform 22.

(9) In implementation, when the laser processing machine 1 is connected to the inkjet operating platform 21, the laser output module 11 of the laser processing machine 1 and the inkjet output module 21 of the digital inkjet printer 2 are on the laser processing platform 12 of the laser processing machine 1 and sequentially used for laser processing and inkjet printing respectively.

(10) The digital inkjet printer 2 further includes a control module 23, and the laser processing machine 1 may be electrically connected to the control module 23 of the digital inkjet printer 2 via a signal cable. Thus, via the control module 23, the laser output module 11 of the laser processing machine 1 and the inkjet output module 21 of the digital inkjet printer 2 may be controlled to sequentially operate.

(11) Therefore, the present invention provides following advantages.

(12) 1. When the laser processing machine and the digital inkjet printer are connected, laser processing and inkjet printing would share the laser processing platform of the laser processing machine to perform processing procedures, thus eliminating the issue of alignment and calibration and significantly enhancing working efficiency and product precision.
2. The laser processing machine and the digital inkjet printer of the present invention can be connected to jointly operate, or the two may be separated to perform their independent operations, thus significantly increasing the utilization of machines and reducing risks of leaving malfunctioning machines idle.

(13) The above description discloses embodiments and technical means of the present invention. Variations and modifications made based on the disclosure or teaching of the application are regarded as equivalences of the concept of the present invention. These variations and modifications, without departing from the substantial spirit of the present invention, are to be encompassed within the technical scope of the present invention.

(14) In conclusion, according to the above disclosure, the present invention provides a digital inkjet flatbed printer having a separate laser processing machine offering practical and industrial values, and achieves expected effects.
