Description

[0001] This application is a divisional application of the patent application with the application date of March 7, 2022, application number 202210216051.2, and invention name “Card Printer”. Technical Field

[0002] The present invention relates to a thermal transfer printer, in particular to a card printer capable of ensuring that a printing medium is transmitted at a uniform speed. Background Art

[0003] The card conveying channel of the card printer includes the following parts in sequence from the entrance of the cards to be printed (hereinafter referred to as blank cards) to the exit of the cards with printed content (hereinafter referred to as loaded cards): card magazine, width limit adjustment assembly, front-stage pressure roller assembly, card position detection device, print head assembly and rear-stage pressure roller assembly (the direction of the blank card entrance is the front, and the direction of the loaded card exit is the rear, the same below).

[0004] The card hopper is a chamber used to place blank cards. Usually, before printing, several blank cards of the same type are stacked in the card hopper. A card drive roller assembly is also provided in the card hopper area to push the blank cards out of the card hopper.

[0005] The width limiting adjustment component is set on both sides of the card compartment and extends backward. It can be adaptively adjusted according to the width of the card and can correct the deviation of the moving card.

[0006] The front-stage pressure roller assembly is arranged in front of the print head assembly. It consists of a front-stage pressure roller and a front-stage drive roller arranged above and below. The front-stage pressure roller presses the blank card moving underneath it against the front-stage drive roller to increase the friction between the card and the front-stage drive roller, thereby effectively preventing the front-stage drive roller from slipping when rolling the blank card to move.

[0007] The card position detection device is usually installed between the front-stage pressure roller assembly and the print head assembly. It mainly includes a position sensor, whose function is to transmit the position information of the blank card moved under it to the main control circuit of the printer. The main control circuit calculates the start time of printing the card based on the set card movement speed and the distance between the sensor and the print head.

[0008] The print head assembly includes a print head arranged on a print support and a print drive roller arranged on a conveying channel frame. When printing, the print head moves downward and presses a blank card against the print drive roller, and the print drive roller rolls the card forward at a set speed.

[0009] The rear-stage pressure roller assembly has basically the same structure as the front-stage pressure roller assembly. It is arranged behind the print head assembly and includes a rear-stage pressure roller and a rear-stage drive roller arranged upper and lower. The rear-stage pressure roller will press the loaded card moving underneath it against the rear-stage drive roller to increase the friction between the card and the rear-stage drive roller, thereby allowing the loaded card to move backward smoothly and at a uniform speed.

[0010] Usually, the distance between the front-stage drive roller and the print drive roller, and the distance between the print drive roller and the rear-stage drive roller are slightly smaller than the length of a single card. In this way, when the card moves, there will always be a place on the card that rests on one of the three drive rollers: the front-stage drive roller, the print drive roller, and the rear-stage drive roller. As a result, the card will always be subject to the driving force that makes it move during the movement.

[0011] In the prior art, the front-stage pressure roller and the rear-stage pressure roller in the front-stage pressure roller assembly and the rear-stage pressure roller assembly are cylindrical hollow sleeves, which can rotate freely. A tension spring is provided on the hollow sleeve. When there is no card between the hollow sleeve and the driving roller below, the hollow sleeve contacts and presses on the driving roller under the action of the tension spring. When the front end of the moving card reaches the hollow sleeve, the card pushes the hollow sleeve up under the push of the driving roller provided in front of the front-stage pressure roller assembly and passes through between the hollow sleeve and the driving roller under the rolling of the driving roller below the hollow sleeve.

[0012] Similar to the front-stage pressure roller assembly and the rear-stage pressure roller assembly, in the prior art, the distance between the print head and the print drive roller in the print head assembly is also adjusted by a tension spring, that is, the print head is connected to a tension spring. Under normal circumstances, the tension spring applies a downward force to the print head. When there is no card between the print head and the print drive roller, the print head touches and presses on the print drive roller. Similarly, when the front end of the moving card is about to touch the print head, the card is squeezed between the print head and the print drive roller based on the thrust generated by the front-stage drive roller. In other words, the print head is lifted up by the card at this time.

[0013] The hollow sleeve in the above structure is normally pressed downward by the tension of the tension spring. Only when the card moving underneath is driven by the driving force will the hollow sleeve be pushed upward by the card. This situation has the following disadvantages:

[0014] 1) When the front end of a card traveling at a set speed touches the hollow sleeve, the card will encounter a resistance and produce a short pause, causing the card to be unable to move stably and uniformly in the card conveying channel.

[0015] In this case, if the tail area on the card is being printed under the print head, the instantaneous jumping movement will greatly affect the printing quality, that is, it will cause the printed line content to be offset and misaligned ahead of the position (this situation applies to the process of the card passing under the print head and moving towards the rear-stage pressure roller assembly).

[0016] 2) When the tail edge of the card passing between the hollow sleeve and the drive roller at a set speed passes over the vertical plane of the hollow sleeve's upper axis, the hollow sleeve will quickly push the card backward under the action of the tension of the tension spring, causing the card to jump backward instantly. This will also cause the card to be unable to move stably and uniformly in the card conveying channel.

[0017] In this case, if the header area on the card is being printed under the print head, the instantaneous jumping movement will greatly affect the printing quality, that is, it will cause the printed line content to be offset and misaligned (this situation applies to the process of the card passing from under the front-stage pressure roller assembly to the print head assembly).

[0018] Likewise, when the front end of a card traveling at a set speed touches the print head, the card will be subjected to a resistance and pause for a short time, which will cause an error in the printing time.

[0019] 4) When the card is thicker, the above structure will not be able to adapt. The reason is that the front end of the card abuts the hollow sleeve or print head at a higher position, and the resistance encountered is also greater. Relying solely on the driving force of the card to push the card to lift the hollow sleeve or print head requires a large force. Under the conditions of small size and limited motor driving force, the structure in the prior art is not suitable for printing on thicker cards. Summary of the Invention

[0020] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a card printer with high printing accuracy, uniform card feeding speed and suitable for printing thicker cards.

[0021] In order to solve the above technical problems, the following technical solutions are adopted:

[0022] A card printer includes a front-stage pressure roller assembly arranged on the front side of a print head assembly for rolling a card to move forward. The front-stage pressure roller assembly is composed of a front-stage pressure roller and a front-stage drive roller installed in the printer in an up-down stacked manner. The front-stage pressure roller is raised vertically by a set distance relative to the front-stage drive roller through a front-stage height adjustment assembly that automatically adjusts the height when the card moves near the front-stage pressure roller and before the front end of the card touches the front-stage pressure roller and / or when the rear end of the card is about to break away from the two position nodes where the front-stage pressure roller presses against it.

[0023] The print head in the print head assembly is raised vertically by a set distance relative to the print drive roller when the card line comes near the print head and before the front end of the card touches the print head through a print height adjustment assembly that automatically adjusts the height.

[0024] A rear-stage pressure roller assembly for rolling the card to move forward is provided on the rear side of the print head assembly. The rear-stage pressure roller assembly is composed of a rear-stage pressure roller and a rear-stage drive roller installed in the printer in an up-down stacked manner. The rear-stage pressure roller is automatically raised by a rear-stage height adjustment assembly to a set distance in the vertical direction relative to the rear-stage drive roller before the card moves near the rear-stage pressure roller and the front end of the card touches the rear-stage pressure roller.

[0025] The front-stage height adjustment component consists of a front-stage pressure plate, a front-stage connecting rod and a front-stage drive connecting plate. The front-stage pressure plate is arranged above the front-stage drive roller. The front side or rear side of the front-stage pressure plate is connected to the frame of the printer through a front-stage hinge shaft. The front-stage pressure roller is rotatably mounted on the front-stage pressure plate and is located directly above the front-stage drive roller. The other side of the front-stage pressure plate opposite to the front-stage hinge shaft is connected to the front-stage drive connecting plate arranged under the front-stage drive roller in a hinged manner through the front-stage connecting rod. The front-stage drive connecting plate is connected to the front-stage drive device. Driven by the front-stage drive device, the front-stage drive connecting plate forces the front-stage pressure plate to rotate around the front-stage hinge shaft and causes the front-stage pressure roller to move up and down in the vertical direction.

[0026] The print height adjustment assembly consists of a bracket side plate for installing the print head, a bracket top plate, a fixed side plate and an abutment plate. The fixed side plate is two pieces, which are respectively fixed to the inner surface of the printer's cover.

A top plate compression spring is provided between the rear side of the bracket top plate and the cover. The abutment plate is arranged below the print drive roller and connected to the print drive top device. When the print head is dropped and contacts the print drive roller, the abutment plate forces the bracket side plate carrying the print head to move up and down in the vertical direction through the drive of the print drive top device.

[0027] The rear-stage height adjustment assembly consists of a rear-stage pressure plate, a rear-stage connecting rod and a rear-stage drive connecting plate.

The rear-stage drive connecting plate is connected to the rear-stage drive device. Driven by the rear-stage drive device, the rear-stage drive connecting plate forces the rear-stage pressure plate to rotate about the rear-stage hinge shaft and causes the rear-stage pressure roller to move up and down in the vertical direction.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0090] 1. Overview

[0091] like Figures 1 to 29 As shown, the card printer 1 of the present invention can ensure that the cards to be printed are transported at a uniform speed.

[0092] The card transport channel of the printer 1 is provided with a card hopper 13 for storing blank cards (i.e., cards to be printed), a print head assembly 14, and a removal channel 15 for removing cards with printed text and patterns (hereinafter referred to as content cards) from the printer from the front to the back.

[0093] In the card conveying passage, a front-stage pressing roller assembly 16 for driving blank cards and a sensor device 18 for detecting the position of blank cards are sequentially provided between the card bin 13 and the print head assembly 14 .

[0094] like Figure 1 As shown, the front-stage pressing roller assembly 16 is arranged at the front side of the print head assembly 14 (the blank card entrance is the front and the removal channel side is the back). Figure 1 Taking the paper as an example, the left side is the front and the right side is the back, the same applies below. The front-stage pressure roller assembly 16 is used to roll the card toward the printhead assembly 14. It consists of a pressure roller (hereinafter referred to as the front-stage pressure roller 161) and a drive roller (hereinafter referred to as the front-stage drive roller 162) installed in the printer 1, stacked one above the other. The front-stage pressure roller 161 can press the blank card against the front-stage drive roller 162 below it with a certain pressure, increasing the friction between the card and the front-stage drive roller 162, and preventing the front-stage drive roller 162 from slipping when rolling the card.

[0095] One of the improvements of the present invention is to enable the front-stage pressure roller 161 to pass through the front-stage height adjustment component 100 which automatically adjusts the height, so that when the card moves near the front-stage pressure roller 161 and before the front end of the card (the "front end" here refers to the head end of the card during the process of the card moving from front to back in the card conveying channel, the same below) is about to touch the front-stage pressure roller 161 and / or the rear end of the card (the "rear end" here refers to the tail end of the card during the process of the card moving from front to back in the card conveying channel, the same below) is about to break away from the two position nodes where the front-stage pressure roller 161 presses against it, it is raised upward in the vertical direction by a set distance (the distance is 0mm-4mm, preferably 0mm-3.1mm) relative to the front-stage driving roller 162.

[0096] The sensor device 18 is used to accurately detect the status signals of the card position, card width and card thickness, and transmit the signals to the main control circuit.

[0097] A further improvement of the present invention is that the print head 141 in the print head assembly 14 is automatically raised vertically by a drive roller (hereinafter referred to as the print drive roller 142) below the print head 141 by a predetermined distance (0 mm to 4 mm, preferably 0 mm to 3.7 mm) when the card approaches the print head 141 and the card's front end is about to contact the print head 141 and / or the card's rear end is about to break away from the pressure of the print head 141. The print head assembly 14 includes the print head 141 and the print drive roller 142 disposed below the print head 141 for rolling the card.

[0098] Another improvement of the present invention is that a rear-stage pressure roller assembly 17 for rolling the card to move forward is provided on the rear side of the print head assembly 14. The rear-stage pressure roller assembly 17 is composed of a pressure roller (hereinafter referred to as the rear-stage pressure roller 171) and a drive roller (hereinafter referred to as the rear-stage drive roller 172) installed in the printer in an upper and lower stacked manner. The rear-stage pressure roller 171 is automatically height-adjusted by a rear-stage height adjustment assembly 300. When the content card moves near the rear-stage pressure roller 171 and the front end of the card is about to touch the position node before the rear-stage pressure roller 171, it is raised upward in the vertical direction by a set distance (the distance is 0mm-4mm, preferably 0mm-2.7mm) relative to the rear-stage drive roller 172.

[0099] When the card is loaded into the card bin 13, the sensor arranged on the printer 1 detects the card thickness information, and the main control circuit can control the raising amplitude of the front-stage pressure roller 161 in the front-stage height adjustment component 100, the print head 141 in the print height adjustment component 200 and the rear-stage pressure roller 171 in the rear-stage height adjustment component 300.

[0100] The maximum beneficial effects of the present invention by providing the front-stage height adjustment component 100, the printing height adjustment component 200 and the rear-stage height adjustment component 300 are as follows:

[0101] 1. Pre-stage height adjustment component 100

[0102] When the front end of the card moving at the set speed is about to touch the front-stage pressure roller 161, the front-stage pressure roller 161 rises, which can avoid the front end of the moving card from temporarily pausing due to resistance caused by the collision with the front-stage pressure roller 161, ensuring that the card moves at a stable and uniform speed in the card transmission channel. At the same time, it can also avoid the situation where the card is blocked from moving due to excessive thickness.

[0103] When the rear end of a card traveling at a set speed is about to leave the contact of the front-stage pressure roller 161, the front-stage pressure roller 161 rises. This prevents the card from being pushed toward the printhead assembly 14 in a sudden, jumpy manner due to the pressure exerted by the front-stage pressure roller 161 and the front-stage drive roller 162 that rolls the card. (That is, when the rear edge of the card moves and passes the vertical plane position of the front-stage pressure roller 161 above the axis, the front-stage pressure roller 161 loses its support from the card. Under the action of other components exerting downward pressure on the front-stage pressure roller 161, the front-stage pressure roller 161 presses downward, causing the card to be quickly ejected.) This prevents the print quality of the portion of the card currently being printed below the printhead 141 from being delayed or misaligned due to the rapid extrusion of the card, resulting in a positional lag in the "line content" (i.e., the content displayed in each line of the printed text pattern). (Typically, the distance between the front-stage drive roller 162 and the print drive roller 142 is less than the length of a single card.)

[0104] Print height adjustment component 200.

[0105] When the front end of the card moving at a set speed is about to touch the print head 141, the print head 141 rises. This can ensure that the card moves at a stable and uniform speed in the card conveying channel. On the other hand, it can avoid the occurrence of card movement being blocked due to excessive thickness. On the other hand, it can prevent the card from pausing for a short time after encountering resistance, thereby avoiding errors in printing time.

[0106] 3. Adjust the height of the post-stage components by 300.

[0107] When the front end of the card moving at the set speed is about to touch the rear-stage pressure roller 171, the rear-stage pressure roller 171 rises to avoid the moving card from encountering resistance and causing a short pause. On the one hand, this setting can ensure that the card moves at a stable and uniform speed in the card transmission channel. On the other hand, it can avoid the sudden pause of the card moving speed due to obstruction, which may cause the print quality of the part of the card being printed under the print head 141 to be offset and misaligned in advance.

[0108] 2. The embodiments of the present invention that can achieve the above beneficial effects are as follows:

[0109] (1) Example 1

[0110] 1. Basic solution of this embodiment

[0111] 1) Pre-amplifier height adjustment component 100

[0112] like Figure 3 、 Figure 7 、 Figure 8 、 Figure 9 、 Figure 10As shown, it is composed of a pressure plate (hereinafter referred to as the front stage pressure plate 101), a connecting rod (hereinafter referred to as the front stage connecting rod 102) and a connecting plate (hereinafter referred to as the front drive connecting plate 103).

[0113] The front-stage pressure plate 101, which is preferably a rectangular plate, is arranged above the front-stage driving roller 162. The front side or rear side (preferably the front side in the present invention) of the front-stage pressure plate 101 is connected to the frame of the printer 1 (the frame is an integrally formed frame arranged in the printer housing 12 and the card conveying channel is formed by the frame) through the front-stage hinge shaft 104 (the front-stage hinge shaft is preferably a bearing connection), and a spring (hereinafter referred to as the front-stage return spring 105) is arranged on the front-stage hinge shaft.

[0114] The middle area of ​​the front-stage pressure plate 101 is a hollow structure, and the hollow space is used to accommodate the front-stage pressure roller 161. The front-stage pressure roller 161 consists of a roller sleeve, a sleeve, and a roller shaft. The roller sleeve is made of low-viscosity plastic and its function is to clean the blank card before printing when it enters the printer 1, and to effectively remove foreign matter on the card. The roller sleeve is connected to the sleeve, and the connection can be fixed or rotatable. A roller shaft is inserted into the sleeve, and an annular groove is provided at each end of the roller shaft. The roller sleeve and sleeve are confined between the two annular grooves by a spring clip, and the sleeve can carry the roller sleeve and rotate freely on the roller shaft. A shaft sleeve and a shaft hole are respectively provided on the front-stage pressure plate 101 on the left and right sides of the hollow space. One end of the roller shaft of the front-stage pressure roller 161 is inserted into the shaft sleeve, and the other end of the roller shaft is inserted into the shaft hole through a quick disassembly structure. The front-stage pressing roller 161 is rotatably mounted on the front-stage pressing plate 101 and is located directly above the front-stage driving roller 162 .

[0115] There are preferably two front-stage connecting rods 102, namely a left front-stage connecting rod and a right front-stage connecting rod. The cross-sectional shape of the front-stage connecting rod 102 is preferably rectangular. The two front-stage connecting rods 102 are vertically arranged, and their upper ends are connected to the other side of the front-stage hinge shaft 104 on the front-stage pressure plate 101 through a hinge structure. The preferred hinge structure of the present invention is: a downwardly extending side ear plate 411 is provided on the other side of the front-stage pressure plate 101, and a vertical waist hole (i.e., a strip hole) is provided on the side ear plate 411. The function of the waist hole is to reserve a redundant space for the front-stage pressure roller 161 to be lifted up when the front-stage pressure roller 161 is pulled downward by the front-stage connecting rod 102 and pressed against the front-stage driving roller 162, so that the blank card in motion enters between the front-stage pressure roller 161 and the front-stage driving roller 162.

[0116] The front stage connecting rod 102 can be set in two ways:

[0117] The first type is connected to the frame via a positioning hole provided thereon and a support shaft passing through the positioning hole.

[0118] The second type is to set a front drive connecting plate 103 at the lower end of the front stage connecting rod 102, one end of the front drive connecting plate 103 is hinged to the lower end of the front stage connecting rod 102, and the front drive connecting plate 103 is connected to the frame.

[0119] The second arrangement is preferred in the present invention. The front drive connecting plate 103 is mainly used to transmit the kinetic energy output by the driving device (hereinafter referred to as the front drive device) to the front connecting rod 102, so as to move the front connecting rod 102 up and down, thereby raising or lowering the front pressure plate 101 and the front pressure roller 161.

[0120] In the first method mentioned above, the front-stage drive connecting plate 103 and the front-stage connecting rod 102 are integrated into one, that is, the part below the support shaft on the front-stage connecting rod 102 can be regarded as the front-stage drive connecting plate 103, and the front-stage driving device is connected to the lower end of the front-stage connecting plate 102 through a transmission connecting member. When driven by the front-stage driving device, the front-stage pressure plate 101 is forced to rotate around the front-stage hinge shaft 104 as the axis and the front-stage pressure roller 161 moves up and down in the vertical direction.

[0121] In the second embodiment described above, the front-drive connecting plate 103 is an independent component, which is arranged horizontally and connected to the frame via positioning holes and support shafts provided thereon. The front end of the front-drive connecting plate 103 is hingedly connected to the lower end of the front-stage connecting rod 102, and the rear end of the front-stage connecting plate 103 is connected to the front-stage driving device via a transmission connection. By applying a downward or upward force to the rear end of the front-drive connecting plate 103, the front end of the front-drive connecting plate 103 can be rotated about the support shaft axis and push the front-stage connecting rod 102 upward or pull the front-stage connecting rod 102 downward, thereby forcing the front-stage pressure plate 101 to rotate about the front-stage hinge shaft 104 as the axis and causing the front-stage pressure roller 161 to move up and down in the vertical direction. The front-stage return spring 105 keeps the side of the front-stage pressure plate 101 where the front-stage hinge shaft 104 is not provided in a downward pressure state at all times. Its function is to keep the front-stage pressure roller 161 in a downward pressure state when the front-stage pressure plate 101 does not apply driving force to it through the front-stage connecting rod 102 by the front-stage connecting plate 103.

[0122] The front-stage driving device can be a stepping motor, a lead screw motor, a cylinder or an electromagnetic attraction component.

[0123] 2) Print height adjustment component 200

[0124] like Figures 3 to 10 As shown, the print height adjustment assembly 200 consists of a connecting plate (hereinafter referred to as the fixed side plate 201 ) fixed to the printer cover 11 , a top plate (hereinafter referred to as the bracket top plate 202 ), a side plate for mounting the print head 141 (hereinafter referred to as the bracket side plate 203 ) and an abutment plate 204 .

[0125] a. The fixed side panels 201 are preferably two panels that are symmetrical and parallel to each other with respect to the card transport channel, namely a left fixed side panel and a right fixed side panel. The left fixed side panel and the right fixed side panel are fixedly connected together by a top cover panel 218. The top cover panel 218 can be the cover panel of the printer or a separate flat panel. The left fixed side panel, the right fixed side panel and the top cover panel 218 can also be an integral structure.

[0126] An open hook 220 is provided on the lower rear side of the fixed side plate 201. The print head 141 can be quickly installed on the fixed side plate 201 through a hanging shaft 221 provided on the outside of the print head shell. Its function is to quickly and conveniently remove the print head 141 when the print head 141 needs to be replaced.

[0127] b. The bracket top plate 202 is mounted on the top of the print head 141. The front side of the bracket top plate (202) is connected to the fixed side plate 201 through the top plate hinge shaft (222). The two outer sides of the rear portion are provided with protrusions 216. Correspondingly, strip guide holes 217 are provided on the left fixed side plate and the right fixed side plate. The rear portion of the bracket top plate 202 is placed in the strip guide hole 217 through the protrusion 216 and assembled under the top cover plate 218. A compression spring (hereinafter referred to as the top plate compression spring 219) is provided between the top surface of the rear portion of the bracket top plate 202 and the top cover plate 218. Usually, under the action of the top plate compression spring 219, the protrusion 216 is placed at the lower end of the strip guide hole 217. When the bracket top plate 202 is subjected to an upward external force, the protrusion 216 can move up in the strip guide hole 217 to the upper end of the strip guide hole 217.

[0128] c. The bracket side panels 203 consist of two pieces: a left bracket side panel and a right bracket side panel. These two bracket side panels 203 are fixed to the left and right sides of the printhead housing, respectively. The hanging shaft 221 on the printhead 141 is a short cylindrical shaft located above the outer sides of the bracket side panels 203. By hooking the hanging shaft 221 onto the hook 220, the printhead 141 can be mounted between the left and right fixed side panels.

[0129] The lower end of the bracket side panel 203 has an inverted "U"-shaped notch (the function of the notch is to avoid the roller shaft of the print drive roller 142). When the lower end of the bracket side panel 203 is subjected to an upward force, the bracket side panel 203 carrying the print head 141 can move upward. When moving upward, the bracket top plate 202 exerts an upward force to compress the top plate compression spring 219. The upward movement distance is the stroke of the protrusion 216 in the strip guide hole 217.

[0130] d. The abutment plate 204 is mainly used to transfer the kinetic energy output by the driving device (hereinafter referred to as the printing drive top device) to the bracket side plate 203, so that the bracket side plate 203 moves upward, thereby lifting the bracket side plate 203 and the print head 141. The abutment plate 204 is an independent component, which is horizontally arranged and connected to the frame through the positioning holes and support shafts set thereon. The bottom end of the bracket side plate 203 touches the abutment plate 204. The bracket side plate 203 of the present invention can also not touch the abutment plate 204. A certain space distance is set between the bracket side plate 203 and the abutment plate 204 (the space distance is the space height reserved for the abutment plate 204 to lift the bracket side plate 203 upward), and the abutment plate 204 is connected to the printing drive top device through a transmission connection.

[0131] When the print head 141 needs to be lifted up and out of contact with the print drive roller 142, the abutment plate 204 is driven by the print drive device to force the bracket side plate 203 to move upward in the vertical direction with the print head 141.

[0132] The printing top driving device can be a stepping motor, a lead screw motor, a cylinder or an electromagnetic attraction component.

[0133] 3) Post-stage height adjustment component 300

[0134] like Figure 3 、 Figure 7 、 Figure 8 、 Figure 9 、 Figure 10 As shown, the rear-stage height adjustment assembly 300 is composed of a pressure plate (hereinafter referred to as the rear-stage pressure plate 301 ), a connecting rod (hereinafter referred to as the rear-stage connecting rod 302 ) and a connecting plate (hereinafter referred to as the rear-drive connecting plate 303 ).

[0135] The rear-stage pressure plate 301, which is preferably a rectangular plate, is arranged above the rear-stage driving roller 172. The front side or rear side (preferably the front side in the present invention) of the rear-stage pressure plate 301 is connected to the printer frame (the frame is an integrally formed frame arranged in the printer housing 102 and the card conveying channel is formed by the frame) through the rear-stage hinge shaft 304 (the rear-stage hinge shaft is preferably connected by a bearing), and a spring (hereinafter referred to as the rear-stage return spring 305) is provided on the rear-stage hinge shaft 304.

[0136] The middle area of ​​the rear pressure plate 301 is hollowed out to accommodate the rear pressure roller. The rear pressure roller 171 is rotatable (the roller shafts at both ends are connected across the shaft holes on the rear pressure plate 301) and is installed on the rear pressure plate 301 and directly above the rear drive roller 172.

[0137] There are preferably two rear-stage connecting rods 302, namely a left rear-stage connecting rod and a right rear-stage connecting rod. The cross-sectional shape of the rear-stage connecting rod 302 is preferably rectangular. The two rear-stage connecting rods 302 are vertically arranged, and their upper ends are connected to the other side opposite to the rear-stage hinge shaft 304 on the rear-stage pressure plate 301 through a hinge structure.

[0138] The present invention preferably adopts the hinge structure as follows: a side ear plate 411 extending downward is provided on the other side of the rear-stage pressure plate 301, and a vertical waist hole (i.e., a strip hole) is provided on the side ear plate 411. The function of the waist hole is the same as that of the side ear plate 411 provided on the front-stage pressure plate 101.

[0139] The rear connecting rod 302 can be set in two ways:

[0140] The first type is connected to the frame via a positioning hole provided thereon and a support shaft passing through the positioning hole.

[0141] The second method is to set a rear drive connecting plate 303 at the lower end of the rear stage connecting rod 302, one end of the rear drive connecting plate 303 is hinged to the lower end of the rear stage connecting rod 155, and the rear drive connecting plate 303 is connected to the frame.

[0142] The second arrangement is preferred in the present invention. The rear drive connecting plate 303 is mainly used to transmit the kinetic energy output by the drive device (hereinafter referred to as the rear drive device) to the rear connecting rod 302, so that the rear connecting rod 302 moves up and down, thereby raising or lowering the rear pressure plate 301 and the rear pressure roller 171.

[0143] In the first method mentioned above, the rear-stage drive connecting plate 303 and the rear-stage connecting rod 302 are integrated into one, that is, the part below the support shaft on the rear-stage connecting rod 302 can be regarded as the rear-stage drive connecting plate 303, and the rear-stage driving device is connected to the lower end of the rear-stage connecting rod 302 through a transmission connecting member. When driven by the rear-stage driving device, the rear-stage pressure plate 301 is forced to rotate around the rear-stage hinge shaft 304 as the axis and the rear-stage pressure roller 171 moves up and down in the vertical direction.

[0144] In the second embodiment described above, the rear-drive connecting plate 303 is an independent component, which is arranged horizontally and connected to the frame via positioning holes and support shafts provided thereon. The front end of the rear-drive connecting plate 303 is hingedly connected to the lower end of the rear-stage connecting rod 302, and the rear end of the rear-drive connecting plate 303 is connected to the rear-stage drive device via a transmission connection. By applying a downward or upward force to the rear end of the rear-drive connecting plate 303, the front end of the rear-drive connecting plate 303 can be rotated about the support shaft axis and push the rear-stage connecting rod 302 upward or pull the rear-stage connecting rod 302 downward, thereby forcing the rear-stage pressure plate 301 to rotate about the rear-stage hinge shaft 304 and causing the rear-stage pressure roller 171 to move up and down in the vertical direction. The rear-stage return spring 305 ensures that the side of the rear-stage pressure plate 301 where the rear-stage hinge shaft 304 is not provided is always in a downward pressure state. Its function is to keep the rear-stage pressure roller 171 in a downward pressure state when the rear-stage pressure plate 301 does not apply driving force to it through the rear-stage connecting rod 302.

[0145] The subsequent driving device may be a stepping motor, a lead screw motor, a cylinder or an electromagnetic attraction component.

[0146] 2. Further improvements to this embodiment

[0147] The aforementioned front-stage driving device, rear-stage driving device and printing top driving device are combined to use the same driving motor 508, which is a DC motor or a stepping motor, and transmits kinetic energy to the front-stage driving connecting plate 103, rear-stage driving connecting plate 303 and abutment plate 204 respectively through the gear transmission assembly 500.

[0148] The front drive connecting plate 103 is installed on the frame through the front drive shaft 511, and the rear top surface of the front drive connecting plate 103 is located below the front bottom surface of the rear drive connecting plate 303. The rear side of the top surface of the front drive connecting plate 103 abuts against the front side of the bottom of the rear drive connecting plate 303 in a contact manner.

[0149] The front stage connecting rod 102 is connected between the rear side of the front stage pressure plate 101 and the front side of the front drive connecting plate 103 , and the rear stage connecting rod 302 is connected between the rear side of the rear stage pressure plate 301 and the rear side of the rear drive connecting plate 303 .

[0150] The rear drive connecting plate 303 is mounted on the frame via the rear drive shaft 512 .

[0151] The abutment plate 204 is an abutment block provided on the front area of ​​the top of the rear drive connecting plate 303 or is the front top edge of the rear drive connecting plate 303 .

[0152] The gear transmission assembly 500 is composed of a plurality of gears (hereinafter referred to as the energy transmission gear assembly 501 , the first drive cam gear 502 and the second drive cam gear 503 ). The driving motor 508 transmits kinetic energy to the driving cam gear 502 and the driving cam gear 503 through the energy transmission gear assembly 501, and an intermediate gear 504 is engaged between the driving cam gear 502 and the driving cam gear 503; the driving cam gear 502 and the driving cam gear 503 are respectively mounted on two rotating shafts (hereinafter referred to as the driving cam rotating shaft 505 and the driving cam gear 506), the driving cam rotating shaft 505 and the driving cam gear 506 are parallel to the rear drive shaft 512 and are respectively arranged on the bottom surface of the rear drive connecting plate 303 on both sides of the rear drive shaft 512, and at least one cam 507 is respectively provided in the middle of the bottom surface of the driving cam rotating shaft 505 and the driving cam gear 506, and the apex of the cam 507 on the driving cam rotating shaft 505 and the cam 507 on the driving cam gear 506 differ by 180 degrees in the circumferential direction.

[0153] The energy transmission gear assembly 501 transmits kinetic energy to the first drive cam gear 502 and the second drive cam gear 503, and the first drive cam gear 502 and the second drive cam gear 503 drive the cam 507 provided on the first drive cam rotating shaft 505 and the second drive cam rotating shaft 506 to rotate. Since the apex of the cam 507 on the first drive cam rotating shaft 505 and the apex of the cam 507 on the second drive cam rotating shaft 506 differ by 180 degrees in the circumferential direction, when they rotate, the front and rear ends of the rear drive connecting plate 303 can swing up and down (forming a seesaw phenomenon).

[0154] Working status of the height adjustment component in this embodiment:

[0155] When the top point of the cam 507 on the first drive shaft 505 rotates upward, the top point of the cam 507 on the second drive shaft 506 rotates downward, causing the front end of the rear drive connecting plate 303 to swing downward and the rear end to swing upward. The top surface of the rear side of the front drive connecting plate 103 is pressed down by the bottom surface of the front end of the rear drive connecting plate 303, forcing the front end of the front drive connecting plate 103 to move upward. At this time, the front-stage height adjustment component 100 and the rear-stage height adjustment component 300 are vertically raised relative to the front-stage drive roller 162 and the rear-stage drive roller 172 by a set distance, and the print height adjustment component 200 is vertically pressed downward on the print drive roller 142 relative to the print drive roller 142.

[0156] When the apex of the cam 507 on the first drive cam shaft 505 and the apex of the cam 507 on the second drive cam shaft 506 rotate to the same position (i.e., the critical point), the front-stage height adjustment component 100, the rear-stage height adjustment component 300, and the print height adjustment component 200 are pressed downward in the vertical direction relative to the front-stage drive roller 162, the rear-stage drive roller 172, and the print drive roller 142.

[0157] When the top point of the cam 507 on the first drive cam shaft 505 rotates downward and the top point of the cam 507 on the second drive cam shaft 506 rotates upward, the front end of the rear drive connecting plate 303 swings upward and the rear end swings downward, forcing the abutment plate 204 on the rear drive connecting plate 303 to move upward to lift the print head 141. At this time, the front-stage pressure roller 161 and the rear-stage pressure roller 171 press downward on the front-stage drive roller 162 and the rear-stage drive roller 172 in the vertical direction, and the print head 141 is lifted upward in the vertical direction by a set distance relative to the print drive roller 142.

[0158] The gear transmission assembly 500 comprises multiple gears (hereinafter referred to as the energy transmission gear assembly 501 and the first drive cam gear 502). The drive motor 508 transmits kinetic energy to the first drive cam gear 502 via the energy transmission gear assembly 501. A ferry gear 504 is provided at the rear end of the first drive cam gear 502. The first drive cam gear 502 is mounted on a rotating shaft (hereinafter referred to as the first drive cam rotating shaft 505). The first drive cam rotating shaft 505 is parallel to the rear drive shaft 512 and is disposed on the bottom surface of the rear drive connecting plate 303, in front of the rear drive shaft 512. At least one cam 507 is located in the middle of the bottom surface of each first drive cam rotating shaft 505, with the apexes of the cams 507 on the first drive cam rotating shaft 505 circumferentially spaced 180 degrees apart.

[0159] The energy transmission gear assembly 501 transmits kinetic energy to the drive cam gear 502, and the drive cam gear 502 drives the cam 507 provided on the drive cam shaft 505 to rotate. Since the apex of the cam 507 on the drive cam shaft 505 differs by 180 degrees in the circumferential direction, when it rotates, the front and rear ends of the rear drive connecting plate 303 can swing up and down (forming a seesaw phenomenon).

[0160] The biggest advantages of this improvement are:

[0161] 1) It can realize the integrated and orderly control of the front-stage pressure roller 161, the rear-stage pressure roller 171 and the print head 141, and the lifting height can be accurately controlled by the program.

[0162] 2) When using cam 507, its structural strength is higher, making the printer run more stable.

[0163] 3. Another improvement of this embodiment

[0164] like Figures 11 to 12 As shown, the front drive connecting plate 103 is mounted on the frame via the front drive shaft 511. The rear top surface of the front drive connecting plate 103 is located below the rear drive connecting plate 303. The rear side of the top surface of the front drive connecting plate 103 abuts against the front side of the bottom of the rear drive connecting plate 303. The front stage connecting rod 102 is connected between the rear side of the front stage pressure plate 101 and the front side of the front drive connecting plate 103. The rear stage connecting rod 302 is connected between the rear side of the rear stage pressure plate 301 and the rear side of the rear drive connecting plate 303.

[0165] The front-stage drive device, the rear-stage drive device, and the print drive top device share two cylinders, namely the front cylinder 509 and the rear cylinder 510. The front end of the piston rod of the front cylinder 509 abuts the front side of the rear-drive connecting plate 303, and the front end of the piston rod of the rear cylinder 510 abuts the rear side of the rear-drive connecting plate 303. The piston rod of the front cylinder 509 and the piston rod of the rear cylinder 510 move in opposite directions.

[0166] Through the alternating operation of the front cylinder 509 and the rear cylinder 510, the front-stage height adjustment component 100, the rear-stage height adjustment component 300 and the print height adjustment component 200 operate in the aforementioned manner, that is, the front-stage pressure roller 161, the rear-stage pressure roller 171 and the print head 141 are lifted or pressed down relative to the front-stage drive roller 162, the rear-stage drive roller 172 and the print drive roller 142 respectively.

[0167] 4. Another improvement of this embodiment

[0168] The front drive connecting plate 103 is mounted on the frame via the front drive shaft 511. The rear top surface of the front drive connecting plate 103 is located below the rear drive connecting plate 303. The rear side of the top surface of the front drive connecting plate 103 abuts against the front side of the bottom of the rear drive connecting plate 303. The front stage connecting rod 102 is connected between the rear side of the front stage pressure plate 101 and the front side of the front drive connecting plate 103. The rear stage connecting rod 302 is connected between the rear side of the rear stage pressure plate 301 and the rear side of the rear drive connecting plate 303.

[0169] The front-stage driving device, the rear-stage driving device and the printing top driving device share a cylinder, and the front end of the cylinder piston rod abuts against the front side of the rear-stage driving connecting plate 303.

[0170] Through the cylinder, the front-stage height adjustment component 100, the rear-stage height adjustment component 300 and the print height adjustment component 200 work in the aforementioned manner, that is, the front-stage pressure roller 161, the rear-stage pressure roller 171 and the print head 141 are lifted or pressed down relative to the front-stage drive roller 162, the rear-stage drive roller 172 and the print drive roller 142 respectively.

[0171] The biggest advantages of this improvement are:

[0172] 1) Fewer driving components and lower material costs;

[0173] 2) The lifting speed is fast when using a cylinder or electromagnetic suction component.

[0174] (II) Example 2
