The embedding cassette printing device includes a support plate, a print head and a horizontally movable pushing mechanism.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0037] In order to make the technical problems solved by the present invention, the technical solutions adopted and the technical effects achieved clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0038] In the description of the present invention, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "connected", "connected", and "fixed" should be understood in a broad sense, for example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium, it can be the internal connection of two elements or the interaction relationship between two elements. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0039] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 8As shown, a device for printing an embedding cassette provided by the present invention comprises a supporting plate 2, a print head 15, a first push block 1, a blocking member 4 and a first limit member 3. The supporting plate 2 has a printing position, the printing position is used to carry the embedding cassette 100 to be printed, and the printing position has an output end 201, the output end 201 is used to output the embedded cassette 100 that has been printed to the outside of the supporting plate 2. The print head 15 is located on one side of the supporting plate 2, and is used to print information on the printing surface of the embedding cassette 100. In this example, the print head 15 is arranged above the supporting plate 2, and the print head 15 can be raised and lowered. When the print head 15 is lowered, it can print information on the embedded cassette 100 located on the printing position. The print head 15 is a prior art, and the print head 15 is not described in detail herein. The first push block 1 can reciprocate in a first direction (i.e., the X direction in the figure), and the first direction is arranged at an angle with the output direction of the embedded cassette 100 at the printing position (i.e., the Z direction in the figure), refer to Figure 1 , the angle between the first direction and the output direction of the embedding cassette 100 at the printing position is θ, 0°<θ≤90°. In this example, θ=90°. The first push block 1 is used to push the embedding cassette 100 from the feeding position to the printing position on the support plate 2. The blocking member 4 can reciprocate in the first direction, and the blocking member 4 and the first push block 1 are respectively spaced apart in the output direction of the embedding cassette 100 at the printing position (i.e., the Z direction in the figure), and the blocking member 4 is close to the output end 201, and is used to selectively block the output end 201 to prevent the embedding cassette 100 from sliding out of the support plate 2 from the output end 201. The first limiting member 3 is protrudingly arranged on the support plate 2, and the first limiting member 3 and the first push block 1 are spaced apart and arranged oppositely in the first direction. When the first push block 1 pushes the embedding cassette 100 to the support plate 2, the first push block 1, the first limiting member 3 and the blocking member 4 are respectively in contact with the embedding cassette 100 to limit the embedding cassette 100 on the support plate 2. It should be noted that the “feeding position” in this specification refers to: in the first direction, the position of the printing position away from the side of the first limiting member 3.

[0040] The first pushing block 1 and the first limiting member 3 are arranged to be spaced apart and opposite to each other in the first direction. When the first pushing block 1 pushes the embedding box 100 from the feeding position to the printing position on the supporting plate 2, the first pushing block 1, the first limiting member 3 and the blocking member 4 are respectively in contact with the embedding box 100. At this time, the first pushing block 1 and the first limiting member 3 are respectively in contact with the two opposite sides of the embedding box 100 in the first direction, so that the embedding box 100 is clamped between the first pushing block 1 and the first limiting member 3 to prevent the embedding box 100 from moving in the first direction, while the blocking member 4 blocks the side of the embedding box 100 close to the output end 201 to prevent the embedding box 100 from sliding out at the output end 201 of the supporting plate 2. Under the joint action of the first pushing block 1, the first limiting member 3 and the blocking member 4, this design can stably limit the embedding box 100 in the printing position of the supporting plate 2 to avoid the embedding box 100 0 is offset on the printing position, which is beneficial to improving the printing effect of the embedding cassette 100; the first pushing block 1 and the blocking member 4 are both movable back and forth in the first direction. When the printing of the embedding cassette 100 is completed, the first pushing block 1 is away from the supporting plate 2 to release the clamping of the embedding cassette 100, and the blocking member 4 is away from the output end 201 to release the blocking of the embedding cassette 100, so that the embedding cassette 100 can be output from the supporting plate 2 from the output end 201. After the embedding cassette 100 is pushed out from the feeding position to the printing position by the first pushing block 1, the first limiting member 3 is cooperated to clamp the embedding cassette 100, so that the first pushing block 1 can not only push the embedding cassette 100 to the printing position, but also limit the embedding cassette 100 on the printing position. There is no need to additionally set other components to cooperate with the first limiting member 3 to limit the embedding cassette 100, so that the structure of the printing device of the embedding cassette 100 is more streamlined.

[0041] It is understandable that, in another solution, the first limiting member 3 may also be configured as a movable component, and the first limiting member 3 moves toward the direction of the first pushing block 1 to form a printing position therebetween.

[0042] Preferably, refer to Figure 8 The supporting plate 2 is tilted downward from top to bottom, and the lower end of the supporting plate 2 is the output end 201. When the tilted supporting plate 2 is provided, after the first push block 1 and the blocking member 4 release the abutment relationship with the embedding cassette 100, the embedding cassette 100 can automatically slide down from the lower end of the supporting plate 2, so that the embedded cassette 100 after printing can be automatically dropped, and the first push block 1 does not need to be used to push the embedded cassette 100 after printing away from the supporting plate 2, which is conducive to shortening the moving stroke of the first push block 1 and simplifying the structure of the embedding cassette 100 printing device.

[0043] It can be understood that the embedding box 100 has a printing surface, a bottom surface, two first side surfaces and two second side surfaces, the bottom surface is opposite to the printing surface, the two first side surfaces and the two second side surfaces are arranged between the bottom surface and the printing surface, the two first side surfaces are arranged opposite to each other, and the two second side surfaces are arranged opposite to each other. When the embedding box 100 is pushed to the printing position, the bottom surface of the embedding box 100 is placed on the supporting plate 2, the two first side surfaces are located in the first direction, and the two second side surfaces are located in the output direction of the embedding box 100 at the printing position.

[0044] In order to increase the contact area between the blocking member 4 and the embedding cassette 100, so that the blocking member 4 stably blocks the embedding cassette 100 on the supporting plate 2, in this embodiment, referring to Figure 7 The blocking member 4 is provided with an abutting surface 401 on one side facing the output end 201, and the abutting surface 401 is used to abut against the embedding box 100. Specifically, the abutting surface 401 is used to abut against the second side surface of the embedding box 100 facing the output end 201 at the printing position.

[0045] When the support plate 2 is tilted from top to bottom, the abutting surface 401 is tilted, and the tilting direction of the abutting surface 401 forms an angle with the tilting direction of the support plate 2. Specifically, the angle between the tilting direction of the abutting surface 401 and the tilting direction of the support plate 2 is equal to the angle between the bottom surface of the embedding cassette 100 and the second side surface of the embedding cassette 100 facing the output end 201 at the printing position, so that when the blocking member 4 blocks the embedding cassette 100, the abutting surface 401 can fit with the embedding cassette 100 to prevent the embedding cassette 100 from tilting.

[0046] Reference Figure 2 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 7The embedding box printing device also includes a first mounting member 18, a material box 16 and a discharging assembly 5. The material box 16 is arranged at a distance on the side of the feeding position behind the first limiting member 3. The first mounting member 18 is movably arranged between the material box 16 and the feeding position. The first push block 1 and the blocking member 4 are both installed on the side of the first mounting member 18 close to the feeding position. The first mounting member 18 connects the first push block 1 and the blocking member 4 together, so that the first push block 1 and the blocking member 4 move synchronously. The discharging assembly 5 also includes a second push block 501, a first slide rail 502, a second limiter (not shown in the figure) and a second mounting member 503. The first slide rail 502 is located at one side of the first push block 1, and the length of the first slide rail 502 extends along the first direction. The second push block 501 is slidably connected to the first slide rail 502 through the second mounting member 503. The second push block 501 is used to push the embedding box 100 inside the material box 16 to the feeding position. The second push block 501 is detachably connected to the side of the first mounting member 18 away from the first push block 1 through the magnetic suction member 504. The second limiter is arranged at one end of the first slide rail 502 away from the material box 16. When the second push block 501 pushes the material box 16 to the feeding position, the second limiter blocks the movement of the second mounting member 503, so that the second push block 501 is separated from the first mounting member 18. When the second push block 501 is connected to the first mounting member 18 through the magnetic attraction member 504, the second push block 501 moves synchronously with the first push block 1, and the movement of the first mounting member 18 drives the second push block 501 and the second mounting member 503 to move toward the support plate 2, thereby pushing the embedding box 100 out of the material box 16; when the second push block 501 pushes the embedding box 100 to the feeding position, the second limit member blocks the second mounting member 503, limiting the second mounting member 503 and the second push block 501 from continuing to move toward the support plate 2 in the first direction. , so that the second pushing block 501 is separated from the first pushing block 1, the second pushing block 501 stops moving while the first pushing block 1 continues to move toward the supporting plate 2, pushing the embedding box 100 from the feeding position to the printing position in the supporting plate 2; after the printing of the embedding box 100 is completed, the first driving member 14 drives the first pushing block 1 and the first mounting member 18 to reset, and during the resetting process, the first mounting member 18 is reconnected with the second pushing block 501 through the magnetic attraction member 504, and pushes the second pushing block 501 to reset, preparing for the next embedding box 100 pushing action. In this example, the supporting plate 2 is tilted from top to bottom, the second push block 501 protrudes from the top of the first push block 1, the second push block 501 is a push claw structure, and the second push block 501 is set higher than the first push block 1. The second push block 501 can be used to push the embedding box 100 out of the material box 16. When the embedding box 100 is pushed to the feeding position, the embedding box 100 at least partially enters the supporting plate 2 and is located on the side of the printing position away from the first limiting member 3. At this time, the embedding box 100 will tilt downward with the supporting plate 2. At this time, the lower first push block 1 can abut against one side of the embedding box 100, so as to cooperate with the first limiting member 3 to limit the embedding box 100 later.The magnetic member 504 has a magnetic attraction effect. When the embedding box 100 is pushed out to the feeding position by the second push block 501, the second limit member blocks the second mounting member 503 from continuing to move toward the support plate 2 in the first direction, so that the second push block 501 is separated from the magnetic member 504 and separated from the first mounting member 18. The second push block 501 stops moving while the first push block 1 can continue to move toward the support plate 2. In this way, the second push block 501 is ensured not to interfere with the structure above the support plate 2 (such as the print head 15, etc.) with the most simplified structure, and does not affect the movement of the first push block 1. In addition, the magnetic member 504 is provided to connect the second push block 501 and the first mounting member 18, which also facilitates the separation and combination of the second push block 501 and the first push block 1.

[0047] It should be noted that the resetting of the first push block 1 and the first mounting member 18 refers to the restoration of the first push block 1 and the first mounting member 18 to the respective positions of the first push block 1 and the first mounting member 18 when the embedding box 100 is in the feeding position; the resetting of the second push block 501 refers to the position of the second push block 501 when the embedding box 100 is inside the material box 16.

[0048] In one embodiment, referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2 In order to facilitate the movement of the first mounting member 18, the embedding cassette printing device further includes a first driving member 14. In this example, the first driving member 14 is located below the first pushing block 1, the upper end of the first mounting member 18 is connected to the first pushing block 1, and the lower end of the first mounting member 18 is connected to the first driving member 14 through the first connecting plate 19. The operation of the first driving member 14 drives the first mounting member 18 to move.

[0049] Reference Figure 1 The embedding box printing device also includes a frame 6, which includes a support plate 601. The support plate 601 provides support for the first driving member 14 and the supporting plate 2. The first driving member 14 is installed on the lower side of the supporting plate 601, and the supporting plate 2 is installed on the upper side of the supporting plate 601.

[0050] In this example, the first driving member 14 is a belt driving member, which includes a conveying belt. The first connecting plate 19 is connected to the conveying belt. The belt driving member is a prior art, and the specific structure of the belt driving member is not described in detail here.

[0051] In order to make the first push block 1 and the blocking member 4 move smoothly, refer to Figure 5 The embedding box printing device is further provided with a second slide rail 8, the length of the second slide rail 8 extends along the first direction, and the first mounting member 18 is slidably connected to the second slide rail 8. This design can improve the stability of the movement of the first mounting member 18.

[0052] In actual implementation, refer to Figures 2 to 5A recessed avoidance opening 5011 is provided at one end of the second push block 501 near the feed position, and the avoidance opening 5011 is used to avoid the first push block 1. In this way, when the second push block 501 is connected to the first mounting member 18 through the magnetic attraction member 504, part of the first push block 1 is located in the avoidance opening 5011 to prevent the first push block 1 and the second push block 501 from interfering with each other in position.

[0053] In this embodiment, refer to Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 A support plate 17 is provided between the material box 16 and the feed position, and the support plate 17 is used to support the embedding box 100. When the second pushing block 501 pushes the embedding box 100 to move, the support plate 17 provides support for the embedding box 100.

[0054] In one embodiment, referring to Figure 1 , Fig. 9 and Fig.10 The embedding cassette printing device further includes a storage assembly 7, which is used to store the embedding cassette 100 output from the supporting plate 2. A delivery port 6011 is provided below the supporting plate 2, and the supporting plate 2 is connected to the storage assembly 7 through the delivery port 6011. The embedding cassette 100 slides from the lower end of the supporting plate 2 and falls into the storage assembly 7 through the delivery port 6011, so as to facilitate the storage of the embedding cassette 100. In this example, the delivery port 6011 is provided on the support plate 601.

[0055] Reference Figure 1 and Fig. 9 The embedding cassette printing device includes a material guide cylinder 12, and a material guide channel is arranged through the top and bottom of the material guide cylinder 12, the top of the material guide channel is the first end, and the bottom of the material guide channel is the second end. The cross-sectional size of the guide channel gradually decreases from the first end toward the second end. The first end of the material guide channel is connected to the conveying port 6011. After the embedding cassette 100 is output from the conveying port 6011, it enters the interior of the material guide channel from the first end and then is output from the second end to the storage component 7. The material guide channel is set to a structure with one end larger than the other end, which is convenient for inputting the embedding cassette 100 of the conveying port 6011 into the material guide cylinder 12, and prevents the embedding cassette 100 from tilting during the conveying process inside the material guide channel, which is conducive to aligning the embedding cassette 100 into the storage component 7.

[0056] It is understandable that the embedding cassette 100 is prone to tipping over when it slides down on the support plate 2. Figure 1 and Figure 2 The embedding cassette printing device further includes a guide member 9 disposed near the output end 201, the guide member 9 being spaced apart from and opposite to the supporting plate 2, a conveying channel for conveying the embedding cassette 100 being formed between the guide member 9 and the supporting plate 2, and the conveying channel is used to guide the embedding cassette 100 sliding down from the supporting plate 2 to prevent the embedding cassette 100 from tipping over or deviating from the conveying port 6011.

[0057] Specifically, refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 The guide member 9 includes a guide plate 901, which is tilted downward from top to bottom and parallel to the support plate 2, and a conveying channel is formed between the guide plate 901 and the support plate 2. When the support plate 2 is tilted downward from top to bottom, the guide plate 901 is also tilted downward from top to bottom, and when the embedding cassette 100 is output at the printing position, a surface contact can be formed between the guide member 9 and the embedding cassette 100, thereby increasing the contact area between the two and allowing the embedding cassette 100 to slide smoothly on the support plate 2.

[0058] In this embodiment, refer to Figure 2 and Figure 5 The guide member 9 also includes a mounting portion 902, one end of the mounting portion 902 is connected to the guide plate 901, and the other end protrudes toward the side away from the conveying channel. The first limit member 3 protrudes toward the side of the discharge assembly 5 and is provided with a mounting rod 10. The support plate 17 and the mounting portion 902 are both installed on the mounting rod 10. Installing the support plate 17 and the mounting portion 902 on the same mounting rod 10 is beneficial to reducing the number of mounting rods 10.

After the embedding box 100 enters the receiving trough from the first notch 7021, the pushing arm 703 moves from the third notch 7023 to the second notch 7022, and then the embedding box is output from the second notch 7022 to the storage box 701. By setting the receiving member 702 of this structure, the pushing arm 703 can be used to push the embedding box 100 into the storage box 701, and the embedding box 100 can be neatly arranged in the storage box 701.

One end of the slide plate 704 away from the third slide rail 705 is connected to the output shaft 707 of the driving motor 706 through a threaded structure, and the material pushing arm 703 is connected to the slide plate 704. The output shaft 707 of the driving motor 706 can drive the slide plate 704 to reciprocate on the third slide rail 705, driving the material pushing arm 703 to extend into or out of the material receiving slot from the third notch 7023, so as to realize the selective pushing out of the embedding box 100.

[0062] Reference Fig. 9 , the storage box 701 has a storage slot 7011 for storing the embedding box 100, and the notch of the storage slot 7011 faces the discharge area. In order to allow the storage box 701 to store more embedding boxes 100, a plurality of storage slots 7011 are provided on the storage box 701, and the plurality of storage slots 7011 are spaced apart along the second direction (the Y direction in the figure). In this example, the Y direction is a horizontal direction, which can be parallel to the first direction or not parallel to the first direction. Preferably, the storage assembly 7 also includes a moving plate 709 and a second driving member 708, the driving motor 706, the third slide rail 705 and the material receiving member 702 are all arranged on the moving plate 709, the second driving member 708 is connected to the moving plate 709, and the second driving member 708 is used to drive the moving plate 709 to slide in the second direction, and the second direction is arranged at an angle with the length direction of the third slide rail 705. In this example, the second direction is perpendicular to the length direction of the third slide rail 705. The second driving member 708 drives the moving plate 709 to move the material receiving member 702 along the second direction to one side of each corresponding receiving slot 7011 , so that an embedding cassette 100 is placed in each receiving slot 7011 .

[0063] In this example, the second driving member 708 is a belt driving member, which is a prior art and will not be described in detail here.

[0064] Preferably, refer to Fig. 9 The storage assembly 7 also includes a fourth slide rail 13 , the length direction of the fourth slide rail 13 is parallel to the second direction, and the movable plate 709 is slidably connected to the third slide rail 705 .

[0065] Reference Fig. 9 The frame 6 further includes a base plate 602 , which is spaced below the support plate 601 , and the storage box 701 and the fourth slide rail 13 are both disposed on the base plate 602 .

[0066] In this embodiment, refer to Fig.11 The embedding box printing device also includes a third driving member 11, which is connected to the print head 15. The third driving member 11 is used to drive the print head 15 to reciprocate in the first direction. In the embedding box printing device of this structure, the print head 15 is driven by the third driving member 11 to move in the first direction, and the print head 15 can print information on the printing surface of the embedding box 100.

[0067] The third driving member 11 is related to the prior art, and will not be described in detail herein.

[0068] In this embodiment, a method for printing an embedding cassette is provided, wherein the print head 15 in the embedding cassette printing device of any structure described above is used to print on the printing surface of the embedding cassette 100, the print head 15 is a carbon ribbon print head 15, the length direction of the printing surface of the embedding cassette 100 is perpendicular to the length direction of the print head 15, and during printing, the print head 15 is driven by the third driving member 11 to move horizontally along the length direction of the printing surface to print information on the printing surface. In this example, the length direction of the printing surface is parallel to the first direction. During printing, the print head 15 is driven by the third driving member 11 to move along the length direction of the printing surface to reduce the contact area between the carbon ribbon print head 15 and the printing surface, and the carbon ribbon print head 15 is in contact with the printing surface to improve the fit between the two, so as to avoid the print head 15 and the embedding cassette 100 from being loosely fitted during printing, resulting in blurred printed information. In addition, when the print head 15 applies the same pressure to the embedding cassette 100, the smaller the contact area between the print head 15 and the printing surface, the greater the pressure on the printing surface of the embedding cassette 100. Therefore, the printing method of the embedding cassette can make the print head 15 press the embedding cassette 100 more tightly, thereby obtaining clearer printed information on the embedding cassette 100.
