It should be understood that the figure mark also applies to other identical parts or components.

[0025] According to one aspect of the present application, an embodiment of the present application provides a printing mechanism, such as Figure 1-Figure 2As shown, the printing mechanism 10 includes a carrier 11, a printing controller 12, an ink cartridge 13, a nozzle 14, a nozzle driving mechanism 15, a follower block 16, a linear transmission mechanism 17 and an intermediate transmission mechanism 18. The carrier 11 is in the shape of a rectangular frame, and a guide rod 111 is provided inside the carrier 11. The nozzle 14 is slidably provided on the guide rod 111. The printing controller 12 and the ink cartridge 13 are both provided on the carrier 11. The printing controller 12 is electrically connected to the nozzle 14 through a control line 121, and the ink cartridge 13 supplies ink to the nozzle 14 through an ink supply tube 131; the nozzle driving mechanism 15 is provided on the carrier 11 and connected to the nozzle 14, and the nozzle driving mechanism 15 is used to drive the nozzle 14 to reciprocate along the guide rod 111; the linear transmission mechanism 17 is provided on the upper side of the carrier 11 through a bracket 112 The linear transmission mechanism 17 has a transmission direction parallel to the guide rod 111, the follower block 16 is arranged on the linear transmission mechanism 17, and the middle part of the control line 121 and the middle part of the ink supply tube 131 are both arranged on the follower block 16; the intermediate transmission mechanism 18 is connected between the nozzle driving mechanism 15 and the linear transmission mechanism 17. When the nozzle driving mechanism 15 drives the nozzle 14 to move along the guide rod 111, the nozzle driving mechanism 15 drives the linear transmission mechanism 17 to move through the intermediate transmission mechanism 18, and then drives the follower block 16 to move synchronously along the direction of movement of the nozzle 14.

[0026] In the embodiment of the present application, the printing mechanism 10 cooperates with each other through the nozzle driving mechanism 15, the follower block 16, the linear transmission mechanism 17 and the intermediate transmission mechanism 18. When performing a printing operation, the nozzle driving mechanism 15 drives the nozzle 14 to move while transmitting the linear transmission mechanism 17 through the intermediate transmission mechanism 18, so that the follower block 16 supporting the control line 121 and the ink supply tube 131 moves synchronously with the nozzle 14, and the intermediate node of the control line 121 and the ink supply tube 131 is lifted, thereby reducing the influence of the lines and pipelines on the operating accuracy of the nozzle 14, and at the same time protecting the lines and pipelines, thereby increasing the service life of the control line 121 and the ink supply tube 131, and ensuring the printing quality and service life of the inkjet printer.

[0027] In one embodiment, if Figure 1-Figure 2 As shown, the nozzle driving mechanism 15 includes a driving motor 151 and a synchronous belt transmission mechanism 152. The synchronous belt transmission mechanism 152 includes a driving pulley 1521, a driven pulley 1522 and a synchronous belt 1523 connected between the driving pulley 1521 and the driven pulley 1522. The output shaft of the driving motor 151 is connected to the driving pulley 1521. The synchronous belt 1523 is connected to the nozzle 14 and can drive the nozzle 14 to reciprocate along the guide rod 111. The intermediate transmission mechanism 18 is connected between the driven pulley 1522 and the linear transmission mechanism 17.

[0028] The synchronous belt transmission mechanism 152 has the advantages of stable transmission and high transmission progress, and can improve the accuracy and stability of the movement of the nozzle 14.

[0029] It is understandable that the nozzle driving mechanism 15 may also adopt other types of linear modules / linear slides.

[0030] In a specific embodiment, Figure 1-Figure 2 As shown, the linear transmission mechanism 17 includes a screw rod 171 and a guide rail 172 arranged parallel to the screw rod 171, the screw rod 171 and the guide rail 172 are both parallel to the guide rod 111, the follower block 16 is screwed to the screw rod 171 and slidably connected to the guide rail 172, and the intermediate transmission mechanism 18 is connected between the driven pulley 1522 and the screw rod 171.

[0031] The linear transmission mechanism 17 is realized by a screw nut and a linear guide rail, and the transmission is stable and reliable.

[0032] In a further specific embodiment, Figure 2-Figure 3 As shown, the intermediate transmission mechanism 18 includes a first gear 181, a second gear 182, a crown gear 183, a third gear 184, a first bevel gear 185 and a second bevel gear 186. The first gear 181 is coaxially connected to the driven pulley 1522, the second gear 182 is coaxially connected to the crown gear 183, and the second gear 182 is meshed with the first gear 181, the third gear 184 is coaxially connected to the first bevel gear 185, and the third gear 184 is meshed with the crown gear 183, the second bevel gear 186 is fixed to one end of the screw rod 171 and meshed with the first bevel gear 185, and a fixing frame 113 is provided on the carrier 11, and the first gear 181, the second gear 182 and the third gear 184 are all rotatably set on the fixing frame 113.

[0033] The gear transmission mechanism is used to realize linkage between the nozzle driving mechanism 15 and the linear transmission mechanism 17 , so that the transmission is stable and reliable, and vertical transmission of force and motion is realized.

[0034] Preferably, the radius of the second gear 182 is greater than the radius of the first gear 181. With this design, when the follower block 16 moves synchronously with the nozzle 14, the displacement distance period of the follower block 16 is smaller than that of the nozzle 14, thereby effectively reducing the swing of the control line 121 and the ink delivery tube 131, thereby effectively reducing the loss of the line and pipeline.

[0035] According to another aspect of the present application, an embodiment of the present application further provides an inkjet printer, such as Figure 5 As shown, the inkjet printer includes a paper conveying device 20 and a printing mechanism 10 in any of the above embodiments, and the printing mechanism 10 is arranged on the path where the paper conveying device 20 conveys paper.

[0036] Since the inkjet printer adopts the printing mechanism 10 in the above embodiment, it also has the advantages and benefits brought by the above printing mechanism 10, thereby improving the printing quality and service life of the inkjet printer.

[0037] In one embodiment, if Figure 6 As shown, the paper conveying device 20 includes a base 21, a platform 22 arranged on the base 21, a paper feed rack 23 arranged at one end of the platform 22, a paper output board 24 arranged at the other end of the platform 22, a paper pickup roller 25 arranged at one end of the platform 22 close to the paper feed rack 23, and a paper output roller 26 arranged at one end of the platform 22 close to the paper output board 24, and the carrier 11 in the printing mechanism 10 is arranged on the platform 22.

[0038] When the inkjet printer is in use, the paper is transported as follows: the paper is fed into the inkjet printer from the paper feed rack 23, transported to the platform 22 by the pickup roller 25, and then transported from the platform 22 by the paper output roller 26, and outputted by the paper output board 24. The paper passing through the platform 22 is subjected to inkjet printing by the printing mechanism 10.

[0039] It should be noted that the existing printers usually use rollers and belts to directly transport the paper, which has a very unsatisfactory printing effect on wrinkled paper and is prone to deviation.

[0040] In this regard, in a specific embodiment, Figure 6-Figure 7 As shown, the paper conveying device 20 also includes a belt conveying mechanism 27, which includes two belt transmission mechanisms 271 respectively arranged on both sides of the platform 22 along the paper conveying direction and a driving component 272 that drives the two belt transmission mechanisms 271 to operate synchronously. The transmission direction of the belt transmission mechanism 271 is parallel to the conveying direction of the paper on the platform 22. During the transmission of the paper on the platform 22, the opposite sides of the paper are respectively located on the two belt transmission mechanisms 271, and the belt transmission mechanism 271 has an adsorption component 273 that can adsorb the paper.

[0041] When the pickup roller 25 transports the paper to the platform 22, the two sides of the bottom of the paper are in contact with the belts of the belt transmission mechanism 271, and the paper is adsorbed by the adsorption component 273, so that the paper can be unfolded and transported flatly on the top of the platform 22, thereby effectively improving the flatness of the paper and improving the printing quality.

[0042] In a specific embodiment, in combination Figure 7-Figure 8As shown, the adsorption component 273 includes a strip-shaped adsorption block 2731 arranged on the side of the platform 22, and a plurality of coils 2732 are arranged on the top of the strip-shaped adsorption block 2731 along the conveying direction of the paper, and a protrusion 2733 is elastically arranged on the top of the strip-shaped adsorption block 2731, and a switch contact (not shown in the figure) for controlling the power on and off of each coil 2732 is arranged between the bottom of the protrusion 2733 and the strip-shaped adsorption block 2731.

[0043] The belt transmission mechanism 271 includes a driving wheel 2711, a driven wheel 2712, and two inner belts 2713 and outer belts 2714 arranged in parallel and connected to each other. The driving wheel 2711 and the driven wheel 2712 are both rotatably arranged on the outside of the platform 22, the outer belt 2714 is connected between the driving wheel 2711 and the driven wheel 2712, the driving assembly 272 is connected to the driving wheel 2711, the inner belt 2713 is wound around the outside of the strip-shaped adsorption block 2731, and the inner side of the inner belt 2713 is symmetrically provided with a card slot 2 7131, when the paper is about to touch the top of the inner belt 2713, the top of the protrusion 2733 disengages from one of the slots 27131, and moves downward under the pressure of the inner belt 2713 and triggers the switch contact, so that each coil 2732 is energized to adsorb the paper; when the paper is about to run to the paper board 24 and contact the paper output roller 26, the protrusion 2733 enters the inside of the other slot 27131, disengages from the switch contact, and then disconnects the power supply of each coil 2732 to stop adsorbing the paper.

[0044] The driving assembly 272 includes a driving motor 2721 disposed on the base 21 and a transmission shaft 2722 drivingly connected to the driving motor 2721 , and two ends of the transmission shaft 2722 are respectively connected to driving wheels 2711 in two belt transmission mechanisms 271 .

[0045] Furthermore, if Figure 4 As shown, the inkjet printer further comprises a housing 28 and a control panel 29 disposed on the housing 28 .

[0046] The working principle of the inkjet printer in the embodiment of the present application is as follows: when performing a printing operation, the nozzle driving mechanism 15 drives the nozzle 14 to move while transmitting the linear transmission mechanism 17 through the intermediate transmission mechanism 18, so that the follower block 16 supporting the control line 121 and the ink supply tube 131 moves synchronously with the nozzle 14, and the intermediate node of the control line 121 and the ink supply tube 131 is lifted, thereby reducing the influence of the line and pipeline on the operation accuracy of the nozzle 14, and protecting the line and pipeline, improving the service life of the control line 121 and the ink supply tube 131, and ensuring the printing quality and service life of the inkjet printer. At the same time, the paper is driven by the paper conveying device 20 and the adsorption component 273 to improve the smoothness of the paper operation, thereby ensuring the printing quality.

[0047] The electrical components appearing in this article are all existing electrical components.

[0048] The technical features of the above embodiments may be combined arbitrarily. To make the description concise, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0049] The above embodiments only express several implementation methods of the present application, and the descriptions thereof are relatively specific and detailed, but they cannot be understood as limiting the scope of the application. It should be pointed out that, for a person of ordinary skill in the art, several variations and improvements can be made without departing from the concept of the present application, and these all belong to the protection scope of the present application. Therefore, the protection scope of the present application shall be subject to the attached claims.
