Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of printers, and particularly to a vertical printer. Background Art

[0002] A printer is one of the output devices of a computer, generally used to print pictures, documents, etc. in a computer on a medium such as paper. There are many types of printers, and their applications in real life are also very extensive. In real life, patterns on many products are completed by printers; among existing printers, most printers use ink cartridges to provide pigments for the printer, drive the printing medium to move through a paper feeding and discharging driving mechanism, and then print on the printing medium through the ink cartridge. Such a printing structure is arranged horizontally. When printing a relatively large printing medium (such as a file box), the overall size of the printer needs to be larger, occupying a large amount of planar space. Moreover, the ink cartridge itself requires a driving mechanism to move, and in addition, paper feeding and discharging also require a paper feeding and discharging driving mechanism to drive, greatly increasing the production cost. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The object of the present invention is to provide a vertical printer that saves planar space, reduces the paper feeding and discharging driving mechanism, and reduces costs.

[0004] The technical solution for achieving the object of the present invention is: a vertical printer, including a vertical printing positioning panel, a locking assembly, a paper pressing mechanism, and a printing mechanism; the printing mechanism and the paper pressing mechanism are respectively arranged on both sides of the vertical printing positioning panel; a plurality of printing openings for the printing mechanism to complete printing work are opened on the vertical printing positioning panel according to printing requirements; a paper bin space for placing the printing medium is formed between the paper pressing mechanism and the vertical printing positioning panel, and the paper pressing mechanism positions the printing medium on the side surface of the vertical printing positioning panel under the transmission of the locking assembly.

[0005] The printing mechanism includes an XY-axis driving assembly and a print head arranged on the side surface of the vertical printing positioning panel; the print head is installed on the XY-axis driving assembly and moves within the plane projection range of the vertical printing positioning panel under the drive of the XY-axis driving assembly.

[0006] The width of the paper bin space in the vertical cross-section gradually increases from bottom to top.

[0007] The present invention further includes a base and a housing; the vertical printing positioning panel is obliquely fixed on the base; the housing is sleeved on the base; an inlet for paper is provided at the top of the housing and is aligned with the paper bin space.

[0008] The paper pressing mechanism includes a support plate, a paper pressing plate, and a bearing seat; the bottom of the support plate is movably connected to the bearing seat fixed on the base through a connecting shaft; the paper pressing plate is floatingly arranged on the support plate.

[0009] A plurality of floating components connected to the support plate are provided on the pressure plate of the paper pressing mechanism; the floating components include fixed columns and springs; one end of the fixed column penetrates through the support plate; the spring is sleeved on the fixed column, and the two ends are respectively connected to the pressure plate and the support plate.

[0010] The locking component includes a pull rod component and a quick clamp; the quick clamp is fixed on the housing; one end of the pull rod component is connected to the quick clamp, and the other end is movably connected to the top of the support plate of the paper pressing mechanism.

[0011] Adopting the above technical solution, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: The structure of the present invention is ingenious. The vertical printing positioning panel realizes a vertical printing structure, saving floor space. Different from the paper movement printing method of traditional printers, by manually operating the locking component to pull the paper pressing mechanism to fix the printing medium on the vertical printing positioning panel, the printing medium can be firmly positioned without displacement, with high printing accuracy, and can adapt to printing media of various materials. Removing the paper feeding and discharging drive mechanism can effectively reduce production costs. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

Detailed implementation mode

[0022] Embodiment 1

[0023] See Figures 1 to 7 , the vertical printer of this embodiment includes a vertical printing positioning panel 1, a locking component 2, a paper pressing mechanism 3, a printing mechanism 4, a base 5, a housing 6 and a support frame 7. The printing mechanism 4 and the paper pressing mechanism 3 are respectively arranged on both sides of the vertical printing positioning panel 1. A number of printing openings 1-1 for the printing mechanism 4 to complete printing work are provided on the vertical printing positioning panel 1 according to printing requirements. A paper bin space for placing printing media is formed between the paper pressing mechanism 3 and the vertical printing positioning panel 1, and the paper pressing mechanism 3 positions the printing media on the side of the vertical printing positioning panel 1 under the transmission of the locking component 2.

[0024] The housing 6 is sleeved on the base 5. A paper inlet 6-1 aligned with the paper bin space is provided at the top of the housing 6. The support frame 7 is fixedly arranged on the base 5, and the vertical printing positioning panel 1 is detachably and fixedly arranged on the support frame 7 and is arranged at an inclined angle with the base 5. Preferably, the top of the vertical printing positioning panel 1 is connected to the top of the support frame 7 by bolts, and the bottom of the vertical printing positioning panel 1 is inserted into the bottom of the support frame 7, which is convenient for replacing the vertical printing positioning panel 1 with corresponding printing opening 1-1 positions according to different printing requirements. One guide plate 7-1 is provided on each side of the support frame 7, and the two guide plates 7-1 are respectively attached to both sides of the paper pressing mechanism 3, which is convenient for putting the printing media into the paper bin space.

[0025] The printing mechanism 4 includes an XY-axis drive component 4-1 and a print head 4-2 arranged on the side of the vertical printing positioning panel 1. The print head 4-2 is installed on the XY-axis drive component 4-1 and moves within the plane projection range of the vertical printing positioning panel 1 under the drive of the XY-axis drive component 4-1. The XY-axis drive component 4-1 is a vertical and horizontal synchronous belt drive device, which belongs to mature existing technology and will not be elaborated here.

[0026] The width of the paper bin space in the vertical section gradually increases from bottom to top. During the process of inserting the printing media, the paper bin space gradually becomes narrower, which is beneficial to the flat unfolding of special-shaped or multi-layer printing media.

[0027] The paper pressing mechanism 3 includes a support plate 3-1, a paper pressing plate 3-2, and a bearing block 3-3. The bottom of the support plate 3-1 is rotatably connected to the bearing block 3-3 fixed on the base 5 through a connecting shaft. The paper pressing plate 3-2 is floatingly arranged on the support plate 3-1.

[0028] A number of floating components 3-2-1 connected to the support plate 3-1 are provided on the paper pressing plate 3-2 of the paper pressing mechanism 3. The floating component 3-2-1 includes a fixed column 3-2-2 and a spring 3-2-3. One end of the fixed column 3-2-2 penetrates through the support plate 3-1. The spring 3-2-3 is sleeved on the fixed column 3-2-2, and its two ends are respectively connected to the paper pressing plate 3-2 and the support plate 3-1.

[0029] The locking component 2 includes a pull rod component 2-1 and a quick clamp 2-2. The quick clamp 2-2 is fixed on the housing 6. One end of the pull rod component 2-1 is connected to the quick clamp 2-2, and the other end is rotatably connected to the top of the support plate 3-1 of the paper pressing mechanism 3.

[0030] During specific implementation, the printing medium is inserted into the paper bin space through the paper inlet 6-1. The quick clamp 2-2 is operated, and the support plate 3-1 is rotated towards the vertical printing positioning panel 1 through the pull rod component 2-1, so that the paper pressing plate 3-2 presses the printing medium against the vertical printing positioning panel 1. At this time, after the support plate 3-1 rotates in place, the paper pressing plate 3-2 continuously applies pressure to the extrusion printing under the elastic support of the floating component 3-2-1. The printing mechanism 4 starts to work, and the print head 4-2 is driven to move through the XY-axis drive component 4-1. The print head 4-2 prints on the printing medium through the printing opening 1-1 of the vertical printing positioning panel 1. After printing is completed, the quick clamp 2-2 is operated, and the pull rod component 2-1 pushes the support plate 3-1 to reset, and the printed printing medium is taken out through the paper inlet 6-1.

[0031] In the above specific embodiments, the purpose, technical solution, and beneficial effects of the present invention are further described in detail. It should be understood that the above are only specific embodiments of the present invention and are not used to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention shall be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
