Method for modifying ink-jet printer into flat printer

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for modifying an ink-jet printer into a flat printer. The method comprises the steps as follows: dismounting a casing and a top cover, taking out a machine core, and remaining a printing and ink-jetting system and a circuit control system as well as a driving wheel, a driven wheel and a driving motor in a paper feeding driving system; adding a guiding system which can enable printing medium to move linearly and comprises a linear guide rail perpendicular to a printing vehicle guide rail and a guide plate reciprocating along the linear guide rail, wherein the printing vehicle guide rail is placed right above the guide plate; adding a guide plate driving mechanism of which the input shaft is fixed with the driven wheel; and adding a machine frame which comprises a base, a fixing device fixed on the base and used for fixing the printing and ink-jetting system, and a support device for the guide plate driving mechanism. The invention is applicable to printing equipment and the like.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method of converting an inkjet printer into a flatbed printer. Background technique [0002] Inkjet printers, the printing method is usually provided by the ink container to provide the ink source, the ink is transported to the print head through the corresponding ink flow channel, and the ink is ejected from the print head nozzle to the recording medium such as paper under the drive of the printing signal. A record of characters or graphics. [0003] The structure of the existing inkjet printer is as figure 1 , figure 2 As shown, it generally includes a core 3 installed in the casing 1 and the top cover 2 , and the core includes a printing inkjet system 31 , a paper feeding drive system 32 and a circuit control system 33 . see figure 2 The paper feeding drive system 32 includes a driving wheel 321 , a driven wheel 322 , a timing belt 323 and a driving motor 324 connected to the driving wheel 321 .

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0006] The price of flatbed printers is much higher than that of ordinary paper inkjet printers, which discourages many demanders, and the difference between the two is in the structural design to meet different printing media. The printing media of flatbed printers are in the printing process The medium is always on a flat surface, such as ceramic sheets, T-shirts, etc. During the printing process, the printing medium is placed on the guide plate for printing; while the printing medium of ordinary inkjet printers is usually paper, in order to reduce the volume of the printer as much as possible Small, the paper feeding path in the paper feeding drive system 32 is designed as a curved structure, and the medium needs to pass through the winding paper path during the printing process. Therefore, ordinary inkjet printers cannot handle relatively rigid ceramic sheets. etc., and cannot print on fabrics such as T-shirts
