Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] The printing width of a single print head of an inkjet printer is limited. In applications where the printing width exceeds the effective coverage of the print head, one way is to complete the printing of a large-width graphic by moving the print head or the substrate. However, this method has a greater risk to the printing accuracy and quality, and is prone to problems such as uneven splicing and broken lines, resulting in quality problems and low production efficiency at the same time. Another way is to splice the widths using multiple print heads. By splicing multiple print heads, the printing width requirement of the entire image can be met at one time, which can shorten the printing time and improve the printing efficiency.

[0003] When multiple print heads are spliced, the relative positions of the individual print heads are required to be relatively precise. Therefore, a regulating component is generally provided for each print head. After the print head is installed on the bottom plate, the position of each print head can be finely adjusted through the regulating component so that the positions of the individual print heads meet the requirements.

[0004] However, in the prior art, as shown in the accompanying drawings of the specification Figure 1 The print heads are generally arranged in a triangular pattern, and some of the regulating components often have poor positions, such as being located between two print heads or at the rear end of the bottom plate. Thus, when an operator adjusts the position of the print head, it will not only affect the operator's operation but also block the operator's line of sight, reducing the operation efficiency.

The terms used in the specification of the present invention are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments and are not used to limit the present invention. The term "and / or" used in this specification includes any and all combinations of one or more of the related listed items.

[0041] In addition, the technical features involved in different embodiments of the present application described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.

[0042] Figure 1 It is a schematic structural diagram of a nozzle module in the prior art, where the rectangle in the figure represents the nozzle assembly and the circle represents the adjustment assembly.

[0043] To solve the above technical problems, as Figure 2As shown in the figure, an embodiment of the present invention provides a nozzle module 100. The nozzle module 100 includes a bottom plate 1 and a nozzle mechanism. The bottom plate 1 is used to support and install the nozzle mechanism, and the number of nozzle mechanisms is multiple. The nozzle mechanism includes multiple nozzle components 2 and multiple adjustment components 3. The nozzle components 2 are used to implement inkjet printing. The number of adjustment components 3 is equal to the number of nozzle components 2. One adjustment component 3 is connected to one nozzle component 2. The adjustment component 3 is used to adjust the position of the nozzle component 2 connected to itself relative to the bottom plate 1. It can be understood that the nozzle component 2 is movably arranged on the bottom plate 1 so that the adjustment component 3 can adjust the position of the nozzle component 2.

[0044] For the above bottom plate 1, as Figure 3 and Figure 4 shown, the bottom plate 1 includes a plurality of installation areas 11 arranged along the first direction X. One nozzle mechanism is correspondingly arranged in one installation area 11, so that a plurality of nozzle mechanisms are arranged at intervals along the first direction X. The installation area 11 includes a nozzle area 111 and an adjustment area 112 arranged along the second direction Y. Among them, both the first direction X and the second direction Y are perpendicular to the thickness direction of the bottom plate 1, and the second direction Y is perpendicular to the first direction X. Specifically, both the nozzle area 111 and the adjustment area 112 are arranged on one side surface of the bottom plate 1 along the thickness direction. Optionally, the bottom plate 1 is rectangular, with the long side parallel to the second direction Y and the short side parallel to the first direction X.

[0045] For the above nozzle component 2, as Figures 2 to 5 shown, the nozzle component 2 is arranged in the nozzle area 111. The nozzle component 2 includes a nozzle mounting seat 21 and a nozzle body 22. The nozzle mounting seat 21 is arranged on the bottom plate 1, and the nozzle body 22 is arranged on the nozzle mounting seat 21. Among them, the nozzle body 22 is detachably installed on the nozzle mounting seat 21 by screws. Optionally, both ends of the nozzle body 22 along the second direction Y are installed on the nozzle mounting seat 21 by screws.

[0046] In some embodiments, as Figure 6 shown, a notch is provided on one side of the nozzle mounting seat 21 along the first direction X, that is, the nozzle mounting seat 21 is in a "C" shape. Part of the nozzle body 22 is located in the notch to enhance the connection strength between the nozzle body 22 and the nozzle mounting seat 21, and to enable the nozzle body 22 to be exposed from the nozzle mounting seat 21 so as to be able to print on the printing medium below the nozzle mounting seat 21. Herein, "below" is described based on the orientation shown in the drawings and is not used to limit the present invention.

[0047] As Figure 2 、 Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, the nozzle mounting base 21 is provided with a mounting hole 23 in a direction perpendicular to the bottom plate 1, that is, the nozzle assembly 2 is provided with a mounting hole 23; the nozzle module 100 further includes a movable fastener 4, and the movable fastener 4 passes through the mounting hole 23 and is connected to the bottom plate 1 to movably mount the nozzle assembly 2 on the bottom plate 1 and enable the nozzle assembly 2 to move relative to the bottom plate 1 in a direction parallel to the bottom plate 1. In this embodiment, the movable fastener 4 includes a screw and a straight spring. The outer diameter of the stud portion of the screw is smaller than the inner diameter of the mounting hole 23. The straight spring is sleeved on the stud portion of the screw and is supported between the nozzle assembly 2 and the nut portion of the screw. The straight spring applies a pressure towards the bottom plate 1 to the nozzle assembly 2, thereby movably mounting the nozzle assembly 2 on the bottom plate 1. At this time, by applying a thrust to the nozzle assembly 2 in a direction parallel to the bottom plate 1, when the thrust reaches a certain threshold, the nozzle assembly 2 can be pushed to slide along the bottom plate 1, that is, the nozzle mounting base 21 can move relative to the bottom plate 1 in a direction parallel to the bottom plate 1, realizing the adjustment of the position of the nozzle assembly 2. Optionally, the mounting hole 23 is opened in the nozzle mounting base 21, and the number of the mounting holes 23 is two, and they are respectively located at both ends of the nozzle mounting base 21 along the second direction Y.

[0048] In some embodiments, as Figures 2 to 5 shown, a plurality of nozzle assemblies 2 are arranged along the second direction Y in the nozzle area 111, and the nozzle assemblies 2 of adjacent two nozzle mechanisms are arranged staggeredly, so that the nozzle assemblies 2 of adjacent two nozzle mechanisms can be spliced with each other, that is, the nozzle assemblies 2 of adjacent two nozzle mechanisms are used as a set of splicing widths to realize nozzle splicing. In this embodiment, the nozzle assemblies 2 of adjacent two nozzle mechanisms are arranged in a staggered pattern. It can be understood that the number of nozzle mechanisms is an even number.

[0049] In some embodiments, as Figure 2 and Figure 5 shown, the nozzle assembly 2 includes a first nozzle assembly 2 and a second nozzle assembly 2. The first nozzle assembly 2 is arranged adjacent to the adjusting assembly 3, and the second nozzle assembly 2 is arranged on the side of the first nozzle assembly 2 away from the adjusting assembly 3. In Figure 2 and Figure 5 , the first nozzle assembly 2 is the nozzle assembly 2 closest to the adjusting assembly 3 in the nozzle mechanism, and the second nozzle assembly 2 is the other nozzle assembly 2. It can be understood that in the embodiment of the present application, the number of the first nozzle assemblies 2 is one, and the number of the second nozzle assemblies 2 is one or more.

[0050] Since the second nozzle assembly 2 and the adjusting assembly 3 are separated by the first nozzle assembly 2, the second nozzle assembly 2 and the adjusting assembly 3 cannot be directly connected. In this embodiment, as Figure 5 and Figure 7As shown in the figure, the second nozzle assembly 2 is provided with a connecting arm 24, and the connecting arm 24 is connected to the adjusting assembly 3. By providing the connecting arm 24, the second nozzle assembly 2 is connected to the adjusting assembly 3, so as to realize the position adjustment of the second nozzle assembly 2 by the adjusting assembly 3. Among them, the first nozzle assembly 2 can be directly connected to the adjusting assembly 3, or the first nozzle assembly 2 can also be provided with a connecting arm 24 and connected to the adjusting assembly 3 through the connecting arm 24. Optionally, the connecting arm 24 is detachably connected to the nozzle mounting seat 21 of the second nozzle assembly 2. Optionally, one end of the connecting arm 24 adjacent to the adjusting assembly 3 is also movably mounted on the bottom plate 1 through other movable fasteners 4.

[0051] When the number of the second nozzle assemblies 2 is multiple, the connecting arms 24 of the multiple second nozzle assemblies 2 are arranged in a direction perpendicular to the bottom plate 1. When the number of the second nozzle assemblies 2 is multiple, a nozzle mechanism includes multiple connecting arms 24, which may increase the width of the nozzle mechanism in the first direction X. For example, arranging the multiple connecting arms 24 in the first direction X will increase the width of the nozzle mechanism in the first direction X, thereby affecting another adjacent nozzle mechanism, or causing an increase in the distance between two adjacent nozzle mechanisms. In this embodiment, by arranging the multiple connecting arms 24 in a direction perpendicular to the bottom plate 1, the connecting arms 24 will not affect the adjacent nozzle mechanisms and will not cause an increase in the distance between two adjacent nozzle mechanisms; moreover, since the nozzle assembly 2 generally has a relatively long length in the thickness direction of the bottom plate 1, arranging the connecting arms 24 in this direction will not have a great impact on the printing work of the nozzle assembly 2.

[0052] For the above-mentioned adjusting assembly 3, as Figures 2 to 4 shown, the adjusting assembly 3 is arranged in the adjusting area 112. Since the nozzle area 111 and the adjusting area 112 are arranged in the second direction Y, the adjusting assembly 3 is located on one side of the nozzle assembly 2 in the second direction Y, that is, the adjusting assembly 3 is located on the same side of the nozzle assembly 2, which can improve the problem of poor position of the adjusting assembly 3, reduce the influence on the operator and the occlusion of the line of sight, and improve the operation efficiency. Further, the second direction Y faces the front end of the bottom plate 1, so that the adjusting assembly 3 is located at the front end of the bottom plate 1, further improving the problem of poor position of the adjusting assembly 3.

[0053] In some embodiments, as Figure 2 and Figure 5 shown, multiple adjusting assemblies 3 are arranged in the second direction Y. When a nozzle mechanism includes multiple adjusting assemblies 3, it may increase the width of the nozzle mechanism in the first direction X. For example, as Figure 8As shown, when multiple adjusting components 3 are arranged along the first direction X, the overall width of the multiple adjusting components 3 may exceed the width of the nozzle component 2, which will increase the overall width of the nozzle mechanism along the first direction X, thus affecting another adjacent nozzle mechanism or increasing the distance between two adjacent nozzle mechanisms. In this embodiment, by arranging the multiple adjusting components 3 along the second direction Y, the adjusting components 3 will not affect the adjacent nozzle mechanism and will not increase the distance between two adjacent nozzle mechanisms.

[0054] In some embodiments, the Nth adjusting component 3 in the multiple adjusting components 3 along the opposite direction of the second direction Y is connected to the Nth nozzle component 2 in the multiple nozzle components 2 along the second direction Y, where N is a positive integer. That is, starting from one adjusting component 3 and one nozzle component 2 that are closest to each other, along the direction in which the adjusting component 3 and the nozzle component 2 are away from each other, the multiple adjusting components 3 and the multiple nozzle components 2 are sequentially connected in one-to-one correspondence. Through this connection method, there will be no crossing of the multiple connecting arms 24, enabling the multiple connecting arms 24 to be arranged along any direction perpendicular to the second direction Y, especially enabling arrangement along the direction perpendicular to the bottom plate 1.

[0055] In some embodiments, as Figure 2 and Figure 5 shown, the multiple adjusting components 3 are arranged in a stepped manner, and along the second direction Y, that is, along the direction away from the nozzle component 2, the distance between the center of the adjusting component 3 and the bottom plate 1 increases in sequence. That is, among the multiple adjusting components 3, as the distance from the nozzle area 111 increases, the adjusting component 3 is more convex relative to the bottom plate 1. By setting this arrangement method, it is convenient for the adjusting component 3 to be sequentially connected to the connecting arm 24 arranged along the direction perpendicular to the bottom plate 1.

[0056] As Figure 5 、 Figure 7 and Figure 9As shown in the figure, the adjusting assembly 3 includes an adjusting mounting base 31, an adjusting tapered block 32, and an adjusting abutting block 33. The adjusting mounting base 31 is arranged on the bottom plate 1, the adjusting tapered block 32 is arranged on the nozzle mounting base 21 or the connecting arm 24 of the nozzle assembly 2, and the adjusting abutting block 33 is arranged on the adjusting mounting base 31. The adjusting abutting block 33 is used to push the adjusting tapered block 32 to move relative to the adjusting mounting base 31, and further push the nozzle assembly 2 to move relative to the bottom plate 1, that is, to realize the adjustment of the position of the nozzle assembly 2 relative to the bottom plate 1. Among them, at least a part of the adjusting tapered block 32 is located within the adjusting mounting base 31, and the adjusting abutting block 33 is located on one side of the adjusting tapered block 32 along the direction parallel to the bottom plate 1. When the adjusting abutting block 33 squeezes the adjusting tapered block 32, the adjusting tapered block 32 can be pushed to move. In this embodiment, the nozzle assembly 2 can move relative to the bottom plate 1 along the direction parallel to the bottom plate 1. Therefore, the adjusting abutting block 33 can only push the adjusting tapered block 32 to move along the direction parallel to the bottom plate 1 and away from the adjusting abutting block 33, so as to push the nozzle assembly 2 to move along the direction parallel to the bottom plate 1.

[0057] To realize pushing the nozzle assembly 2 to move in two mutually perpendicular directions, in some embodiments, as Figure 9 shown, the number of the adjusting abutting blocks 33 is two. One adjusting abutting block 33 is located on one side of the adjusting tapered block 32 along the second direction Y, and the other adjusting abutting block 33 is located on one side of the adjusting tapered block 32 along the first direction X, so as to be able to adjust the position of the nozzle assembly 2 relative to the bottom plate 1 along the opposite directions of the second direction Y and the first direction X.

[0058] To realize the adjusting abutting block 33 pushing the adjusting tapered block 32, in some embodiments, as Figure 9 shown, the adjusting assembly 3 further includes a first elastic member 34 and an adjusting screw 35. The first elastic member 34 and the adjusting screw 35 respectively abut against the opposite sides of the adjusting abutting block 33. The adjusting screw 35 is threadedly connected to the adjusting mounting base 31, and the axis of the adjusting screw 35 is parallel to the direction of the interval between the adjusting screw 35 and the first elastic member 34, that is, the end of the adjusting screw 35 contacts the adjusting abutting block 33. Thus, by rotating the adjusting screw 35, the adjusting abutting block 33 can be pushed to move along the axial direction of the adjusting screw 35, so as to realize the adjusting abutting block 33 pushing the adjusting tapered block 32 to move relative to the adjusting mounting base 31. The first elastic member 34 is used to apply a thrust force towards the adjusting screw 35 to the adjusting abutting block 33, so that the adjusting abutting block 33 always tightly adheres to the first elastic member 34, so that the adjusting abutting block 33 can move synchronously with the adjusting screw 35, and it is not easy for the adjusting screw 35 to move away from the adjusting abutting block 33. Optionally, the adjusting abutting block 33 is provided with a blind hole, and at least a part of the end of the adjusting screw 35 extends into the blind hole. Optionally, the first elastic member 34 is a straight spring, and its axis coincides with the axis of the adjusting screw 35.

[0059] It is understandable that when the adjusting screw 35 rotates, the adjusting abutment block 33 may rotate synchronously with the adjusting screw 35, which may affect the normal operation of the adjusting abutment block 33. To improve this problem, in some embodiments, Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, the adjustment mounting seat 31 is provided with a slide groove 311, and the adjustment abutment block 33 is at least partially disposed in the slide groove 311 and can slide along the slide groove 311. When the adjustment screw 35 rotates, the slide groove 311 is used to prevent the adjustment abutment block 33 from rotating with the adjustment screw 35, so that when the adjustment screw 35 is rotated, the adjustment abutment block 33 can be pushed to move along the axial direction of the adjustment screw 35. Specifically, along the extension direction of the slide groove 311, the cross-section of the slide groove 311 and the cross-section of the adjustment abutment block 33 are both rectangular, and the bottom wall and the two side walls of the slide groove 311 are in contact with the adjustment abutment block 33, so that the adjustment abutment block 33 cannot rotate in the slide groove 311 and can only slide along the slide groove 311.

[0060] For the above-mentioned adjustment mounting seat 31, as Figure 9 As shown, the adjustment mounting seat 31 includes an adjustment slide 312 and an adjustment pressure plate 313. The adjustment slide 312 is arranged on the bottom plate 1, and the adjustment abutment block 33 is arranged on the adjustment slide 312. The adjustment pressure plate 313 is detachably arranged on the side of the adjustment slide 312 away from the bottom plate 1 to prevent the adjustment abutment block 33 from detaching from the adjustment slide 312. By setting the detachable adjustment pressure plate 313, the installation of the adjustment abutment block 33 and the first elastic member 34 is facilitated. Optionally, as Figure 10 As mentioned above, the slide groove 311 is formed on the adjusting slide seat 312 .

[0061] In some embodiments, the adjusting abutment block 33 can move in a direction parallel to the bottom plate 1 to push the adjusting conical block 32. For example, the axis of the adjusting screw 35 is parallel to the bottom plate 1, and when the screw is rotated, the adjusting abutment block 33 can be pushed to move in a direction parallel to the bottom plate 1, thereby pushing the adjusting conical block 32 to move in the same direction. In this embodiment, the adjusting screw 35 is arranged on the side wall of the adjusting mounting seat 31, and the gap between the adjusting screw 35 and the adjacent adjusting assembly 3 or the nozzle mechanism is small, which makes it inconvenient to operate the adjusting screw 35.

[0062] To improve the problem of inconvenience in operating the adjusting screw 35, in other embodiments, the adjusting abutment block 33 can move in a direction perpendicular to the bottom plate 1 to push the adjusting conical block 32. Figure 9As shown, the adjusting abutting block 33 has a first inclined surface 331, and the adjusting conical block 32 has a second inclined surface 321. The first inclined surface 331 at least partially abuts against the first inclined surface 331. The first inclined surface 331 is used to push the second inclined surface 321 when the adjusting abutting block 33 moves in a direction perpendicular to the bottom plate 1, thereby forcing the adjusting conical block 32 to move in a direction parallel to the bottom plate 1. Thus, in this embodiment, the first elastic member 34 is supported between the adjusting abutting block 33 and the bottom plate 1, and the adjusting screw 35 abuts against the side of the adjusting abutting block 33 away from the bottom plate 1, that is, it is arranged on the top of the adjusting mounting seat 31, and the position of the adjusting screw 35 is convenient for operation. By rotating the adjusting screw 35, the adjusting abutting block 33 can be pushed to move relative to the adjusting mounting seat 31 in a direction perpendicular to the bottom plate 1, that is, the adjusting screw 35 is used to adjust the distance between the adjusting abutting block 33 and the bottom plate 1, thereby pushing the adjusting conical block 32 to move in a direction parallel to the bottom plate 1.

[0063] For the first inclined surface 331 and the second inclined surface 321, Figure 9 As shown, the first inclined surface 331 is located on one side of the adjusting abutting block 33 parallel to the bottom plate 1 and is inclined toward the bottom plate 1, and the direction of the second inclined surface 321 is opposite to the direction of the first inclined surface 331. Therefore, when the adjusting abutting block 33 moves closer to the bottom plate 1, it will push the adjusting conical block 32 to move in the direction parallel to the bottom plate 1; and when the adjusting abutting block 33 moves away from the bottom plate 1, the first inclined surface 331 will leave the second inclined surface 321, and the position of the adjusting conical block 32 will remain unchanged, which will cause the position of the adjusting conical block 32 to be unable to be adjusted back. Optionally, the adjusting conical block 32 is a cone, and the first inclined surface 331 is the side surface of the cone.

[0064] In order to solve the problem that the position of the tapered block 32 cannot be adjusted back, in some embodiments, as Figures 3 to 5As shown, the bottom plate 1 is provided with a first installation groove 12, and a part of the nozzle assembly 2 is disposed in the first installation groove 12; the nozzle module 100 further includes a second elastic member 5, and the second elastic member 5 is supported between the side wall of the first installation groove 12 and the side wall of the nozzle assembly 2. The side walls of the first installation groove 12 and the nozzle assembly 2 are both parallel to the thickness direction of the bottom plate 1. By supporting the second elastic member 5 between the side wall of the first installation groove 12 and the side wall of the nozzle assembly 2, the second elastic member 5 can apply a force to the nozzle assembly 2 in a direction parallel to the bottom plate 1, so that when the nozzle assembly 2 is not subject to the thrust of the adjustment assembly 3, it can move along the force application direction of the second elastic member 5 until it returns to the initial position. In this embodiment, at least one second elastic member 5 is provided on the side of each nozzle assembly 2 opposite to the second direction Y, and at least one second elastic member 5 is also provided on the side of each nozzle assembly 2 opposite to the first direction X. Thus, when the adjustment abutting block 33 moves away from the bottom plate 1, the second inclined surface 321 and the first inclined surface 331 are always in close contact, and the adjustment tapered block 32 will also move in a direction parallel to the bottom plate 1 and towards the adjustment abutting block 33 until the nozzle assembly 2 can return to the initial positions along the second direction Y and the first direction X. Optionally, the second elastic member 5 is a ball screw and is installed on the nozzle mounting seat 21.

[0065] In some embodiments, as Figure 3 and Figure 4 shown, the bottom of the first installation groove 12 is penetrated, and the nozzle mounting seat 21 is located in the first installation groove 12, so that the nozzle body 22 can be exposed below the bottom plate 1 to be able to print on the printing medium below the bottom plate 1. Optionally, the bottom surface of the nozzle mounting seat 21 and the bottom surface of the nozzle body 22 are flush with the bottom surface of the bottom plate 1, so that the bottom plate 1 can not only protect the nozzle body 22, but also is not likely to block the nozzle body 22 and affect printing. Herein, the "bottom surface" is described based on the orientation shown in the drawings and is not used to limit the present invention.

[0066] The embodiment of the present invention also provides a printer (not shown), and the printer includes the above-mentioned nozzle module 100. The printer has the structure and beneficial effects of the nozzle module 100, which will not be elaborated herein.

[0067] The nozzle module 100 and the printer according to the embodiments of the present invention, by respectively arranging the nozzle assembly 2 and the adjustment assembly 3 in the nozzle area 111 and the adjustment area 112, and arranging the nozzle area 111 and the adjustment area 112 along the second direction Y, and arranging a plurality of nozzle assemblies 2 along the second direction Y as well, so that the adjustment assembly 3 is located on the same side of the nozzle assembly 2, and can be located at the front end of the bottom plate 1, to improve the problem of poor position of the adjustment assembly 3, reduce the influence on the operator and the obstruction of the line of sight, and improve the operation efficiency. The nozzle assembly 2 can be provided with a connecting arm 24 to be connected with the adjustment assembly 3, so as to realize the one-to-one connection between the nozzle assembly 2 and the adjustment assembly 3, and a plurality of connecting arms 24 can be arranged along the direction perpendicular to the bottom plate 1, which will not affect the adjacent nozzle mechanism and will not have a great impact on the printing work of the nozzle assembly 2. The adjusting screw 35 is arranged on the side of the adjusting abutting block 33 away from the bottom plate 1, that is, on the top of the adjusting mounting seat 31, and the position of the adjusting screw 35 is convenient for operation.

[0068] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, rather than to limit them; under the idea of the present invention, the technical features in the above embodiments or different embodiments can also be combined, and the steps can be implemented in any order, and there are many other changes in different aspects of the present invention as described above.
