[0031] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a printer synchronization signal card provided in an embodiment of the present invention. (Refer to...) Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment of the invention provides a printer synchronization signal card 10, which includes a tabletop signal acquisition module 100, a signal selection module 200, and a printing module 300. The tabletop signal acquisition module 100 includes multiple tabletop signal acquisition units 110, which are used to acquire the position information of the tabletop. Each tabletop signal acquisition unit 110 includes a tabletop signal output terminal 110a. The signal selection module 200 includes multiple signal selection units 210, each of which includes multiple tabletop signal receiving terminals 210a and a printing signal output terminal 210b. The printing module 300 includes multiple carriages 310, each of which includes a printing signal receiving terminal 310a. Each signal selection unit 210 is connected to multiple tabletop signal output terminals 110a through multiple tabletop signal receiving terminals 210a, and the signal selection unit 210 is connected to the printing signal receiving terminal 310a through the printing signal output terminal 210b.

[0032] The printer includes a printing table and a carriage. The printing table is the operating platform used for printing, and the carriage can move left and right to print, producing the print quality. Increasing the number of printing tables and carriages ensures better printer efficiency. This invention provides a printer synchronization signal card 10, which enables adjustments to the positions of each printing table and the carriage, thus ensuring overall printer efficiency.

[0033] For details, please refer to Figure 1As shown, the printer synchronization signal card 10 includes a tabletop signal acquisition module 100, which in turn includes multiple tabletop signal acquisition units 110. Each tabletop signal acquisition unit 110 acts as a position detector, acquiring the position information of the tabletop. Furthermore, each tabletop signal acquisition unit 110 includes a tabletop signal output terminal 110a, which transmits the acquired tabletop signal to ensure accurate transmission of the tabletop position information. Specifically, different tabletop signal acquisition units 110 can detect the position information of different tablestops, and the different tabletop position information is transmitted through the tabletop signal output terminals 110a of each unit, ensuring minimal error in the transmission of the tabletop position information. In other words, the printer includes multiple tablestops, and the position information of different tablestops is acquired through different tabletop signal acquisition units 110, and the acquired position information is transmitted through their respective corresponding tabletop signal output terminals 110a, ensuring that the position information of each tabletop is transmitted.

[0034] Furthermore, the printer synchronization signal card 10 also includes a signal selection module 200, which includes multiple signal selection units 210. Each signal selection unit 210 includes multiple tabletop signal receivers 210a, which are connected to tabletop signal outputs 110a to transmit the detected tabletop position information. Each signal selection unit 210 is connected to each of the multiple tabletop signal receivers 210a and the multiple tabletop signal outputs 110a, respectively. Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, each signal selection unit 210 is connected to all the table signal acquisition units 110 through multiple table signal receiving terminals 210a, which ensures that each signal selection unit 210 can acquire the table position information acquired by all the table signal acquisition units 110.

[0035] Furthermore, the printer synchronization signal card 10 also includes a printing module 300, which includes multiple carriages 310, each carriage 310 including a printing signal receiver 310a. Simultaneously, each signal selection unit 210 includes a printing signal output terminal 210b, which is connected to the printing signal receiver 310a. This ensures that each signal selection unit 210 can adjust the working status of the corresponding carriage 310 based on the acquired table position information, such as the inkjet state of left-right or up-down movement. Through the signal selection unit 210, the working status of different carriages can be adjusted specifically according to the table information, ensuring stable control and adjustment of the printer table and carriages, and guaranteeing printer efficiency.

[0036] In summary, the printer synchronization signal card provided in this embodiment of the invention determines the position information of the table based on different table signal acquisition units, thereby more accurately adjusting the working status of the carriage and ensuring the working efficiency of the synchronization signal card.

[0037] Optional, continue to refer to Figure 1 As shown, the printer synchronization signal card 10 also includes a signal multiplexing module 400, which is located between the tabletop signal acquisition module 100 and the signal selection module 200. The signal multiplexing module 400 includes multiple signal multiplexing units 410, each of which includes a tabletop signal splitting receiver 410a and multiple tabletop signal splitting outputs 410b. The tabletop signal splitting receiver 410a in the signal multiplexing unit 410 is connected to the tabletop signal output 110a, and the multiple tabletop signal splitting outputs 410b in the signal multiplexing unit 410 are respectively connected to the tabletop signal receivers 210a of different signal selection units 210.

[0038] Specifically, the printer synchronization signal card 10 also includes a signal multiplexing module 400, which includes multiple signal multiplexing units 410. Each signal multiplexing unit 410 is equivalent to a multiplexer, which can split the signal input to the signal multiplexing unit 410 into two identical output signals and transmit them to different units. That is, the acquired table position information is transmitted to different signal selection units 210, ensuring that different signal selection units 210 can obtain the table position information obtained by each table signal acquisition unit 110.

[0039] For details, please refer to Figure 1 As shown, any signal multiplexing unit 410 includes a platform signal splitting receiver 410a and multiple platform signal splitting outputs 410b. The platform signal splitting receiver 410a is connected to the platform signal output 110a, thereby enabling the transmission of the platform position information acquired by the platform signal acquisition unit 110 to the signal multiplexing unit 410. It should be noted that... Figure 1 To clearly illustrate the connection relationships between different signal multiplexing units 410 and different signal selection units 210, the connecting traces in the diagram are distinguished by different thicknesses, and dashed lines are also used for illustrative purposes; these dashed lines are only used to differentiate the different traces. Simultaneously, the multiple tabletop signal splitting output terminals 410b in the signal multiplexing unit 410 are connected to the tabletop signal receiving terminals 210a of different signal selection units 210, ensuring that the tabletop position information output by each tabletop signal acquisition unit 110 can be transmitted through the signal multiplexing unit 410 to different signal selection units 210. The signal selection units 210 can then better adjust the operation of the carriage 310 based on the tabletop position information, ensuring overall printing quality and efficiency.

[0040] For example, continue to refer to Figure 1 As shown, the tabletop signal acquisition module 100 includes n tabletop signal acquisition units 110, the signal multiplexing module 400 includes n signal multiplexing units 410, the signal selection module 200 includes m signal selection units 210, and the printing module 300 includes m carts 310; where n ≥ m > 1, and n and m are positive integers.

[0041] Specifically, the number of tabletop signal acquisition unit 110, signal multiplexing unit 410, signal selection unit 210, and carriage 310 in the printer synchronization signal card 10 varies, as shown in the reference. Figure 1 As shown, an example is given with three signal acquisition units 110 and 410 on the platform, and two signal selection units 210 and 310 on the trolley.

[0042] Further reference Figure 1 As shown, the number of tabletop signal acquisition units 110 and signal multiplexing units 410 is consistent, as are the number of signal selection units 210 and carriages 310. The signal multiplexing unit 410 receives tabletop position information acquired by the tabletop signal acquisition unit 110 on a one-to-one basis, while the signal selection unit 210 controls the operation of the carriage 310 on a one-to-one basis. Furthermore, when there are three tabletop signal acquisition units 110 and three signal multiplexing units 410, the number of tabletop signal receiving terminals 210a corresponding to each signal selection unit 210 is also three. This ensures that each signal selection unit 210 can receive the tabletop position information transmitted by each tabletop signal acquisition unit 110. Because comprehensive tabletop position information is obtained, the adjustment of the carriage 310 is more precise, ensuring printing quality and efficiency.

[0043] Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of another printer synchronization signal card provided in an embodiment of the present invention, for reference. Figure 2 As shown, any signal multiplexing unit 410 further includes a tabletop adjustment output terminal 410c; the printer synchronization signal card 10 further includes a tabletop position adjustment module 500, which includes multiple tabletop position adjustment units 510, and any tabletop position adjustment unit 510 includes a tabletop adjustment receiving terminal 510a; wherein, the tabletop adjustment receiving terminal 510a receives the tabletop adjustment signal from the tabletop adjustment output terminal 410c to adjust the position of the tabletop.

[0044] For details, please refer to Figure 2As shown, the printer synchronization signal card 10 also includes a table position adjustment module 500, which includes multiple table position adjustment units 510. The number of table position adjustment units 410 corresponds one-to-one with the number of table signal acquisition units 110. That is, the table position adjustment units 410 can adjust the position of the table as needed, and the table signal acquisition units 110 are used to acquire the position of the table.

[0045] Specifically, any signal multiplexing unit 410 also includes a table adjustment output terminal 410c, and any table position adjustment unit 510 includes a table adjustment receiver terminal 510a. The table adjustment receiver terminal 510a is connected to the table adjustment output terminal 410c, thereby ensuring that the table position adjustment unit 510 receives the table adjustment signal to adjust the position of the table, meets the needs of different table adjustments during printing, and ensures the printing effect.

[0046] Optional, continue to refer to Figure 2 As shown, the table position adjustment unit 510 includes a servo motor.

[0047] Specifically, the table position adjustment unit 510 used to adjust the table position can be a servo motor, that is, a motor that can rotate with high precision.

[0048] Continue to refer to Figure 2 As shown, the printer synchronization signal card 10 also includes a tabletop signal processing module 600; the tabletop signal processing module 600 includes multiple tabletop signal processing units 610, which are located between the tabletop signal acquisition unit 110 and the signal multiplexing unit 210.

[0049] Further reference Figure 2 As shown, the printer synchronization signal card 10 also includes a tabletop signal processing module 600. The tabletop signal processing module 600 includes tabletop signal processing units 610 located between the tabletop signal acquisition unit 110 and the signal multiplexing unit 210. The tabletop signal processing unit 610 enhances the tabletop position information transmitted between the tabletop signal acquisition unit 110 and the signal multiplexing unit 210, thereby increasing the noise and interference resistance of the transmitted signal. This ensures the stability and reliability of the overall signal transmission, guarantees the working stability of the printer synchronization signal card 10, and improves the printer's printing efficiency and effect. For example, the number of tabletop signal processing units 610 is consistent with the number of tabletop signal acquisition units 110.

[0050] Continue to refer to Figure 2As shown, the printer synchronization signal card 10 also includes a table adjustment signal processing module 700; the table adjustment signal processing module 700 includes multiple table adjustment processing units 710, which are located between the signal multiplexing unit 210 and the table position adjustment unit 510.

[0051] Further reference Figure 2 As shown, the printer synchronization signal card 10 also includes a tabletop adjustment signal processing module 700. The tabletop adjustment signal processing module 700 includes a tabletop adjustment processing unit 710 located between the signal multiplexing unit 210 and the tabletop position adjustment unit 510. The tabletop adjustment processing unit 710 amplifies the position adjustment signal transmitted between the signal multiplexing unit 210 and the tabletop position adjustment unit 510, ensuring stable and accurate transmission of the signal for adjusting the tabletop position, thus meeting the printer's printing requirements. For example, the number of tabletop adjustment processing units 710 is consistent with the number of tabletop signal acquisition units 110.

[0052] Continue to refer to Figure 2 As shown, the printer synchronization signal card 10 also includes a print signal processing module 800; the print signal processing module 800 includes multiple print signal processing units 810, which are located between the signal selection unit 210 and the carriage 310.

[0053] Further reference Figure 2 As shown, the printer synchronization signal card 10 also includes a print signal processing module 800. The print signal processing module 800 includes a print signal processing unit 810 located between the stage signal selection unit 210 and the carriage 310. The print signal processing unit 810 enhances the carriage position adjustment signal transmitted between the stage signal selection unit 210 and the carriage 310, thereby increasing the noise and interference immunity of the transmitted signal. This ensures the reliability of the carriage movement, guarantees the inkjet printing effect, further ensures the working stability of the printer synchronization signal card 10, and improves the printer's printing efficiency and effect. For example, the number of print signal processing units 810 is consistent with the number of stage signal selection units 210 and carriage 310.

[0054] Continue to refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the tabletop signal output terminal 110a is connected to the tabletop signal splitting receiver terminal 410a for single-channel transmission.

[0055] Further reference Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the tabletop signal output terminal 110a is connected to the tabletop signal splitting receiver terminal 410a for single-channel transmission. This ensures that the tabletop position signals output by different tabletop signal acquisition units 110 will not interfere with each other, thus ensuring the stability of signal transmission and the efficient and stable operation of the printer synchronization signal card 10.

[0056] In summary, the printer synchronization signal card provided in this embodiment of the invention effectively ensures stable and efficient transmission between various signals, while also providing anti-interference and anti-noise effects.
