Flatbed printer

Abstract

The invention discloses a flatbed printer, comprising a substrate, a fixed part, a feeding part, a power part and a grating component, wherein the fixed part is fixed on the substrate; the feeding part carries out feed movement relative to the fixed part; the power part drives the feeding part to carry out feed movement; and the grating component is rotationally supported by the feeding part, and the grating component is driven to rotate by the friction force generated between the grating component and the fixed part. According to the flatbed printer, the grating component is driven to rotate by the friction force generated by the grating component and the fixed part, the frictional coefficient of the grating component is relatively smaller, and the pressure between the grating component and the fixed part is relatively lower, so that the problem that the feed distance of the printer is insufficient due to abrasion of the grating component is avoided, and the printing quality is accordingly improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a printer, in particular to a flatbed printer using hard materials as printing media. Background technique [0002] Existing ordinary printers usually can only print paper, but are powerless to print on board-type media such as metal and wood. Therefore, the existing printing of board-type materials is usually realized by thermal transfer printing. However, thermal transfer printing requires higher ink quality, the process of thermal transfer printing is more complicated, and the cost is relatively high, so the popularity of thermal transfer printing is not high. However, with the continuous development of society, the demand for personalized printing has gradually increased, and the market for personalized printing such as mobile phone cases and T-shirts has continued to grow, and flatbed printers have also emerged as the times require. [0003] see Figure 1 to Figure 4 , an existing flatbed printer mainly includes: a print...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0004] This flatbed printer has the following defects: the drive shaft 14 has a high coefficient of friction, and the pressure between it and the printing template 12 has a relatively high pressure

Under such working conditions, the drive shaft is prone to wear

However, the worn drive shaft 14 may cause the actual distance of the printing template 12 to be less than the predetermined distance during linear feeding, thereby affecting the printing quality.

[0005] On the other hand, when the printing format of the printing template is large and the quality of the printing template is also heavy, slippage is likely to occur between the drive shaft and the printing template, and even the printing template cannot be driven to move, so that it cannot work normally.
