Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of printer technology, and specifically relates to a label printer. Background Technology

[0002] Label printers, as devices specifically designed to generate various types of identification labels, are widely used in logistics, retail, manufacturing and other fields. Their technological development has always revolved around core directions such as improving printing efficiency, enhancing equipment durability, expanding applicable scenarios and optimizing structure.

[0003] The current announcement of Chinese utility model patent CN206938207U discloses a thermal label printer, which has a body and a hinged cover. The body has a core mechanism, which includes a base and a rubber roller inside the base. The free end of the cover is equipped with a print head. The above configuration expands the printing range of the thermal sheet, improves the flexibility of thermal sheet application, and thus improves the printer's working efficiency.

[0004] This patent adopts a single-roll label feeding mode, which means that only one roll of label paper can be printed at a time. In practical applications, this single-roll printing method has obvious limitations: when batch printing of labels is required, operators need to frequently stop the machine to change the label roll, which not only increases the complexity of the operation process, but also reduces the effective printing time of the equipment and the overall printing efficiency is low. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a label printer that solves the problem of existing label printers that use a single-roll label feeding mode, meaning that only one roll of label paper can be printed at a time. In practical applications, this single-roll printing method has obvious limitations: when batch printing of labels is required, operators need to frequently stop the machine to change the label roll, which not only increases the complexity of the operation process but also reduces the effective printing time of the equipment, resulting in low overall printing efficiency.

[0006] The above-mentioned technical objective of this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution: a label printer includes a frame, a printing platform is provided on the frame, an outer cover is provided on the printing platform, an unwinding assembly is provided at one end of the printing platform, a winding assembly is provided at the other end of the printing platform, a guide rail slider is provided on the frame, a carriage assembly is provided on the guide rail slider, a drive motor assembly is provided at one end of the frame near the winding assembly, and a drying assembly is provided at one end of the printing platform;

[0007] The unwinding assembly includes a first mounting plate, a first rotating rod, and a label roll. The first mounting plate is fixedly mounted on the frame. There are two first mounting plates arranged symmetrically. The first rotating rod is rotatably mounted on the two first mounting plates. The label roll is mounted on the first rotating rod. There are several label rolls arranged evenly. The unwinding assembly can store multiple sets of label rolls and can print multiple sets of labels simultaneously.

[0008] Using the above technical solution, by setting up a frame, printing platform, outer cover, unwinding assembly, rewinding assembly, guide rail slider, carriage assembly, drive motor assembly, and drying assembly, in the initial state of use, the unwinding assembly holds multiple rolls of label paper. After the label paper is drawn out, it enters the printing platform. The guide rail slider on the frame provides a moving path for the carriage assembly, which moves back and forth along the guide rail slider, simultaneously completing the printing operation on multiple sets of label paper on the printing platform. The printed label paper enters the drying assembly located at one end of the printing platform for drying. The dried label paper continues to be conveyed to... When the label is near one end of the winding assembly, the drive roller is driven to rotate by the drive belt under the action of the drive motor assembly. The label paper passes between the drive roller and the pressure roller and is pressed. As the drive roller rotates, it is conveyed to the winding assembly at the required speed and length. Finally, the winding assembly completes the winding of the label paper. The whole process completes the label printing. The unwinding assembly includes a first mounting plate, a first rotating rod and label rolls. Two first mounting plates symmetrically fixed on the frame support the first rotating rod. When the first rotating rod rotates, several label rolls evenly arranged on it rotate synchronously to convey the label.

[0009] Furthermore: the winding assembly includes a second mounting plate and a second rotating rod. The second mounting plate is fixedly mounted on the frame at one end away from the unwinding assembly, and the second rotating rod is rotatably mounted on the second mounting plate. The winding process of the winding assembly is controlled by a servo motor.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, by setting a second mounting plate and a second rotating rod, the two second mounting plates, which are symmetrically fixed on the frame, support the second rotating rod. When the second rotating rod rotates, it winds up the label paper that has been conveyed, thus completing the entire label printing and winding process.

[0011] Furthermore: the drive motor assembly includes a drive motor, a drive roller, a pressure roller, and a drive belt. The drive motor is mounted on the frame, and both the drive roller and the pressure roller are mounted on the frame. The drive roller is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the drive motor, and the drive belt is connected to the drive roller and the pressure roller.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, and by setting up a drive motor, drive roller, pressure roller, and drive belt, when the drive motor starts, it can directly drive the drive roller to rotate. The drive belt connects the drive roller and the pressure roller. During the rotation of the drive roller, the pressure roller rotates synchronously with the drive roller through the transmission action of the drive belt. When the label paper is conveyed to this area, it passes between the drive roller and the pressure roller. Since the two rollers rotate synchronously under the drive of the drive motor and cooperate with each other to form a pressing force, the label paper is tightly clamped between the two rollers. With the rotation of the drive roller and the pressure roller, it is conveyed to the winding assembly at the required speed and length, thus realizing stable drive and control of the label paper conveying process.

[0013] Furthermore, the trolley assembly can reciprocate along the guide rail slider to facilitate the printing operation of the label paper.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, the carriage component moves back and forth on the guide rail slider. The carriage component relies on the guide rail slider on the frame as the moving path and moves back and forth along the guide rail slider. During this movement, the carriage component cooperates with the position of the label paper on the printing platform to complete the printing operation of multiple sets of label paper. The reciprocating movement ensures that all label areas to be printed can be covered, thereby achieving accurate and efficient printing of label paper.

[0015] Furthermore, the outer cover can cover the entire vehicle assembly and printing platform.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, an outer cover is used to cover the carriage assembly and printing platform. This outer cover forms a relatively enclosed space, which prevents dust and impurities from the external environment from entering the carriage assembly and printing platform area when the label printer is working. This serves to prevent dust and pollution, avoiding the impact of dust on printing accuracy and equipment lifespan. At the same time, during the printing process of the label paper by the carriage assembly, the outer cover can effectively reduce ink splashing and prevent ink from contaminating other parts of the equipment or the surrounding environment. In addition, the outer cover can also isolate the printing process from external factors such as light and heat, providing a relatively stable environment for printing operations and ensuring the quality of label printing.

[0017] Furthermore, the drying component is positioned between the printing platform and the winding component, allowing the printed label paper to directly enter the drying component for drying.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, after the carriage component completes the printing operation on the label paper on the printing platform, the printed label paper directly enters the drying component located between the two. The drying component dries the label paper with ink, so that the ink on the label paper can be cured quickly, avoiding problems such as ink smudging and blurring during the subsequent conveying to the winding component, ensuring the clarity and quality of the label printing, and providing qualified label paper for the subsequent winding operation of the winding component.

[0019] Furthermore: the drying assembly adopts a Class II infrared dryer.

[0020] By adopting the above technical solution and setting the model of the drying component, the II infrared dryer uses infrared heat energy to heat and dry the ink on the label paper, so that the ink can be cured quickly. This prevents the ink from getting smudged or blurred during the subsequent transfer of the label paper to the winding component, ensuring stable label printing quality and providing qualified label paper for the winding operation of the winding component.

[0021] Furthermore, the outer cover is made of ABS engineering plastic.

[0022] By adopting the above technical solution and setting the material of the outer cover, the outer cover can reduce ink splashing during the printing of the carriage components by virtue of its own structural characteristics, and prevent ink from contaminating other parts of the equipment or the surrounding environment. In addition, ABS engineering plastic can also isolate the light and heat interference of the external environment to a certain extent, providing a relatively stable environment for printing operations. Combined with its material characteristics, it ensures the structural stability and protective effect of the outer cover during long-term use, thereby helping to maintain the quality of label printing.

[0023] In summary, this utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0024] By setting up an unwinding assembly, two symmetrically fixed first mounting plates on the frame support the first rotating rod. When the first rotating rod rotates, several label rolls evenly arranged on it rotate synchronously to transport the labels. The unwinding assembly can store multiple sets of label rolls and print multiple sets of labels at the same time, improving printing efficiency.

[0025] By setting up a carriage assembly and a drying assembly, the carriage assembly can move on a set of guide rail sliders. The printed label paper passes through the drying assembly and is then driven by a motor into the winding assembly.

[0026] Based on the above improvements, the overall technical effect achieved by this device is that it can print multiple label rolls at once, enabling batch printing of labels, reducing printing time, and improving printing efficiency. Attached Figure Description

[0031] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0032] Example:

[0033] Please see Figures 1-3 The present invention provides a technical solution: a label printer, including a frame 1, a printing platform 2 on the frame 1, an outer cover 3 on the printing platform 2, an unwinding assembly 4 at one end of the printing platform 2, a winding assembly 5 at the other end of the printing platform 2, a guide rail slider 6 on the frame 1, a carriage assembly 7 on the guide rail slider 6, a drive motor assembly 8 at one end of the frame 1 near the winding assembly 5, and a drying assembly 9 at one end of the printing platform 2;

[0034] The unwinding assembly 4 includes a first mounting plate 401, a first rotating rod 402, and a label roll 403. The first mounting plate 401 is fixedly mounted on the frame 1. There are two first mounting plates 401 arranged symmetrically. The first rotating rod 402 is rotatably mounted on the two first mounting plates 401. The label rolls 403 are mounted on the first rotating rod 402. There are several label rolls 403 arranged evenly. The unwinding assembly 4 can store multiple sets of label rolls 403 and can print multiple sets of labels simultaneously.

[0035] By configuring a frame 1, a printing platform 2, an outer cover 3, an unwinding assembly 4, a rewinding assembly 5, a guide rail slider 6, a carriage assembly 7, a drive motor assembly 8, and a drying assembly 9, in operation, the unwinding assembly 4 initially holds multiple rolls of label paper. After the label paper is drawn out, it enters the printing platform 2. The guide rail slider 6 on the frame 1 provides a moving path for the carriage assembly 7, which reciprocates along the guide rail slider 6, simultaneously printing multiple sets of label paper on the printing platform 2. The printed label paper enters the drying assembly 9 located at one end of the printing platform 2 for drying. The dried label paper continues to be conveyed, and when it reaches the end near the rewinding assembly 5, the drive motor... Under the action of component 8, drive roller 802 is driven to rotate by drive belt 804. Label paper passes between drive roller 802 and pressure roller 803 and is pressed. With the rotation of drive roller 802, it is conveyed to winding component 5 at the required speed and length. Finally, winding component 5 completes the winding of label paper. The whole process completes label printing. Unwinding component 4 includes first mounting plate 401, first rotating rod 402 and label roll 403. Two first mounting plates 401 symmetrically fixed on frame 1 support first rotating rod 402. When first rotating rod 402 rotates, several label rolls 403 evenly arranged on it rotate synchronously to convey the label.

[0036] refer to Figure 2 The winding assembly 5 includes a second mounting plate 501 and a second rotating rod 502. The second mounting plate 501 is fixedly mounted on the frame 1 at the end away from the unwinding assembly 4. The second rotating rod 502 is rotatably mounted on the second mounting plate 501. The winding process of the winding assembly 5 is controlled by a servo motor. By setting the second mounting plate 501 and the second rotating rod 502, the two second mounting plates 501, which are symmetrically fixed on the frame 1, support the second rotating rod 502. When the second rotating rod 502 rotates, it winds up the conveyed label paper, completing the entire label printing and winding process.

[0037] refer to Figure 3The drive motor assembly 8 includes a drive motor 801, a drive roller 802, a pressure roller 803, and a drive belt 804. The drive motor 801 is mounted on the frame 1. Both the drive roller 802 and the pressure roller 803 are mounted on the frame 1. The drive roller 802 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the drive motor 801. The drive belt 804 is connected to both the drive roller 802 and the pressure roller 803. By configuring the drive motor 801, drive roller 802, pressure roller 803, and drive belt 804, when the drive motor 801 starts, it can directly drive the drive roller 802 to rotate. The drive belt 804 is connected to the drive motor 801. During the rotation of the drive roller 802, the pressure roller 803 rotates synchronously with the drive roller 802 through the transmission action of the drive belt 804. When the label paper is conveyed to this area, it passes between the drive roller 802 and the pressure roller 803. Since the two rollers rotate synchronously under the drive of the drive motor 801 and cooperate with each other to form a pressing force, the label paper is tightly clamped between the two rollers. With the rotation of the drive roller 802 and the pressure roller 803, it is conveyed to the winding assembly 5 at the required speed and length, realizing stable drive and control of the label paper conveying process.

[0038] refer to Figure 2 The carriage assembly 7 can reciprocate along the guide rail slider 6 to complete the label printing operation. By reciprocating along the guide rail slider 6 on the frame 1, the carriage assembly 7 uses the guide rail slider 6 on the frame 1 as the moving path. During this movement, the carriage assembly 7, in conjunction with the position of the label paper on the printing platform 2, completes the printing operation of multiple sets of label papers. The reciprocating movement ensures that all label areas to be printed are covered, thereby achieving accurate and efficient printing of the label paper.

[0039] refer to Figure 1 The outer cover 3 can cover the entire carriage assembly 7 and printing platform 2. By covering the carriage assembly 7 and printing platform 2, the outer cover 3 forms a relatively closed space. When the label printer is working, this closed space can prevent dust and impurities from the external environment from entering the area of ​​the carriage assembly 7 and printing platform 2, playing a role in dust prevention and pollution prevention, avoiding dust and other factors from affecting printing accuracy and equipment lifespan. At the same time, during the printing process of the label paper by the carriage assembly 7, the outer cover 3 can effectively reduce ink splashing and prevent ink from contaminating other parts of the equipment or the surrounding environment. In addition, the outer cover 3 can also isolate the printing process from external factors such as light and heat, providing a relatively stable environment for printing operations and ensuring the quality of label printing.

[0040] refer to Figure 3The drying component 9 is located between the printing platform 2 and the winding component 5. The printed label paper can directly enter the drying component 9 for drying. By setting the position of the drying component 9, after the carriage component 7 completes the printing operation on the label paper on the printing platform 2, the printed label paper directly enters the drying component 9 located between the two. The drying component 9 dries the label paper with ink, so that the ink on the label paper can be cured quickly, avoiding problems such as ink smudging and blurring during the subsequent conveying to the winding component 5, ensuring the clarity and quality of the label printing, and providing qualified label paper for the subsequent winding operation of the winding component 5.

[0041] refer to Figure 3 The drying component 9 adopts a II infrared dryer. By setting the model of the drying component 9, the II infrared dryer uses infrared heat energy to heat and dry the ink on the label paper, so that the ink can be cured quickly. This prevents the ink from getting smudged or blurred during the subsequent transfer of the label paper to the winding component 5, ensuring stable label printing quality and providing qualified label paper for the winding operation of the winding component 5.

[0042] refer to Figure 1 The outer cover 3 is made of ABS engineering plastic. By setting the material of the outer cover 3, the outer cover 3 can reduce ink splashing generated during the printing of the carriage component 7 by virtue of its own structural characteristics, and prevent ink from contaminating other parts of the equipment or the surrounding environment. In addition, ABS engineering plastic can also isolate the light and heat interference of the external environment to a certain extent, providing a relatively stable environment for printing operations. Combined with its material characteristics, it ensures the structural stability and protective effect of the outer cover 3 during long-term use, thereby helping to maintain the quality of label printing.

[0043] Brief description of usage:

[0044] In use, initially, the unwinding assembly 4 holds multiple rolls of label paper. After the label paper is drawn out, it enters the printing platform 2. The guide rail slider 6 on the frame 1 provides a moving path for the carriage assembly 7. The carriage assembly 7 moves back and forth along the guide rail slider 6, and simultaneously completes the printing operation on multiple sets of label paper on the printing platform 2. After printing, the label paper enters the drying assembly 9 set at one end of the printing platform 2 for drying. The dried label paper continues to be conveyed. When it reaches the end near the winding assembly 5, under the action of the drive motor assembly 8, the drive roller 802 is driven to rotate through the drive belt 804. The label paper passes between the drive roller 802 and the pressure roller 803 and is pressed. With the rotation of the drive roller 802, it is conveyed to the winding assembly 5 at the required speed and length. Finally, the winding assembly 5 completes the winding of the label paper. The whole process completes the label printing.

[0045] Then, when the drive motor 801 starts, it can directly drive the drive roller 802 to rotate. The drive belt 804 connects the drive roller 802 and the pressure roller 803. During the rotation of the drive roller 802, the pressure roller 803 rotates synchronously with the drive roller 802 through the transmission action of the drive belt 804. When the label paper is conveyed to this area, it passes between the drive roller 802 and the pressure roller 803. Since the two rollers rotate synchronously under the drive of the drive motor 801 and cooperate with each other to form a pressing force, the label paper is tightly clamped between the two rollers. With the rotation of the drive roller 802 and the pressure roller 803, it is conveyed to the winding assembly 5 at the required speed and length, realizing stable drive and control of the label paper conveying process.

[0046] Finally, the carriage assembly 7 moves back and forth on the guide rail slider 6. The carriage assembly 7 moves back and forth along the guide rail slider 6 on the frame 1, relying on the guide rail slider 6 as the moving path. During this movement, the carriage assembly 7 works with the label paper position on the printing platform 2 to complete the printing operation of multiple sets of label paper. The back and forth movement ensures that all label areas to be printed are covered, thereby achieving accurate and efficient printing of label paper.
