Tape box and tape printing system

Abstract

The invention provides a tape box and a tape printing system with the tape box. The tape box is detachably installed in a tape printer, the tape printer comprises a detecting part, the tape box comprises a shell, a colored tape, an ink ribbon and an ink ribbon driving roller, the shell comprises an upper shell body and a lower shell body, the colored tape, the ink ribbon and the ink ribbon driving roller are arranged in a colored tape containing cavity defined by the upper shell body and the lower shell body, and the ink ribbon is driven by the ink ribbon driving roller to conduct feeding along a preset feeding path; the shell is provided with a guide arm with an outlet, the guide arm is parallel to the front wall of the shell, the guide arm guides the colored tape to conduct conveying along the feeding path, and the colored tape is discharged out from a tape outlet; and an avoiding part is arranged at the position, corresponding to the detecting part, on the front wall of the guide arm, the avoiding part is located at the position close to the tape outlet, a gap is formed between the avoiding part and the detecting part, and the area of the cross section of the avoiding part is larger than or equal to the area of the cross section of the detecting part. By means of the arrangement of the avoiding part, the compatibility and universality of the tape box are improved, and the using cost of a user is effectively reduced.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of tape printing, in particular to a general-purpose tape box detachably installed on a tape printer and a tape printing system with the tape box. Background technique [0002] The tape printer prints characters, such as letters, etc., with a print head on an ink ribbon pulled out from a tape cassette installed in a cassette accommodating portion of the tape printer. Tape printers can use multiple types of ribbons in different configurations and widths, so it is necessary to prepare multiple tape cassettes for tape printers to accommodate multiple types of ribbons. [0003] see figure 1 , a plurality of through holes 11 are provided on the side wall 10 of the existing tape cassette casing 1 for the tape printer at a position corresponding to the detection portion of the tape printer, and the through holes 11 and non- The through hole forms a pattern corresponding to the type of ribbon, so that each of the ...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

Therefore, a tape box of one pattern can only be used for one type of ribbon, and the versatility is poor

In addition, the shapes of the detection switches of the detection parts on different existing printers are different, and the shapes of the through holes on the corresponding tape cassettes are also different, so the tape cassettes applicable to the existing printers are also one-to-one correspondence, and the versatility is poor.

[0004] And, the left and right side walls 12,13 of the existing tape box are provided with positioning ribs 14, and the positions corresponding to the positioning ribs 14 are provided with positioning grooves whose shape matches the positioning ribs 14. , the positioning rib 14 is easy to get stuck in the tape printer during installation and removal of the tape cassette
