Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of document manufacturing equipment technology, and in particular to a flipping mechanism and document manufacturing equipment using the flipping mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] With the development of the times, personal identification documents are being used in all aspects of life. For example, when entering or leaving the country, passports and ID cards need to be checked; or when entering or leaving residential areas and exhibition venues, identity cards need to be checked.

[0003] Existing personal identification documents are generally made of paper or plastic. The manufacturing process typically involves printing information on both sides of the document, i.e., double-sided printing. Some printing methods first print the information onto two thin films, then position the substrate and the two printed films, and finally laminate them onto the two surfaces of the document. Other methods require printing on one surface, then flipping the document to print on the other side, resulting in a lengthy manufacturing process. This leads to a long transport distance for the materials used in document production, resulting in low printing efficiency and hindering mass production.

[0004] Therefore, how to effectively improve the efficiency of certificate production has become an urgent problem to be solved.

[0005] The above content is only used to help understand the technical solution of this application and does not represent an admission that the above content is prior art. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The main objective of this invention is to propose a flipping mechanism to address the pressing issue of how to effectively improve the efficiency of document production.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the flipping mechanism proposed in this invention includes:

[0008] The flip-up bracket body has a first flip-up surface and a second flip-up surface opposite to the first flip-up surface. The flip-up bracket body has a positioning groove for directional insertion of a substrate, a first printing window opened on the first flip-up surface, and a second printing window opened on the second flip-up surface. The positioning groove connects the first printing window, the second printing window, and one side of the flip-up bracket body. One surface of the substrate is exposed through the first printing window, and the other surface is exposed through the second printing window.

[0009] The first printing window, the second printing window, and the positioning groove constitute a printing unit, and each of the flip-up bracket bodies is provided with at least one printing unit; and

[0010] At least one connecting part is provided on the flip bracket body and is offset from the positioning slide groove. The connecting part is used to connect the power mechanism.

[0011] Driven by the connecting part and the power mechanism, the flip-up bracket body has a first printing state with the first printing window facing the inkjet printhead, a second printing state with the second printing window facing the inkjet printhead, and a further flipping state with the substrate sliding away from the positioning groove, wherein the substrate is inserted into the positioning groove in the first printing state.

[0012] In one embodiment of the present invention, the flipping mechanism includes a plurality of the flipping support bodies;

[0013] The side of the flip bracket body that is away from the positioning groove is defined as the connecting side. All connecting sides of the flip bracket body are connected to the connecting part, and the connecting part is the central pivot.

[0014] In one embodiment of the present invention, the included angle between two adjacent flipping bracket bodies is 90° to 180°.

[0015] In one embodiment of the present invention, the first printing window and the second printing window are arranged facing each other and form a printing port.

[0016] In one embodiment of the present invention, the flipping bracket body is further provided with a guide slope, the guide slope being located at the end of the positioning groove away from the printing port, and the guide slope being used to guide the substrate into the printing port.

[0017] In one embodiment of the present invention, the flip bracket body is provided with a plurality of spaced printing ports, and the plurality of printing ports are arranged linearly.

[0018] In one embodiment of the present invention, one end of the flip bracket body is connected to a connecting part, and the other end is connected to another connecting part, and the two connecting parts are coaxially arranged.

[0019] In one embodiment of the present invention, the inner sidewall of the printing port forms a limiting groove inward, and the limiting groove is connected to the positioning slide groove.

[0020] In one embodiment of the present invention, the flip-up support body includes a first frame, a second frame, and a third frame, wherein the first frame, the second frame, and the third frame are stacked sequentially.

[0021] The first frame is provided with a first printing window, the second frame is provided with a limit slide groove, and the third frame is provided with a second printing window;

[0022] The first frame, the second frame, and the third frame are stacked sequentially. The limiting slide connects the first printing window and the second printing window. The limiting slide connects to one side of the second frame and surrounds the first frame and the third frame to form the positioning slide.

[0023] In one embodiment of the present invention, the first frame is provided with a misalignment notch, the misalignment notch being located at the end of the positioning groove away from the first printing window.

[0024] In one embodiment of the present invention, the flipping mechanism further includes a driving component, which is disposed corresponding to the positioning groove and is used to eject the substrate at the positioning groove.

[0025] The present invention also proposes a document manufacturing device, including a printing mechanism, a power mechanism, a feeding mechanism, a material holding box, and a flipping mechanism. The power mechanism is connected to the flipping mechanism. The printing mechanism and the feeding mechanism are arranged adjacent to the flipping support body of the flipping mechanism. The material holding box is correspondingly arranged on one side of the flipping support body.

[0026] In one embodiment of the present invention, the document manufacturing equipment further includes: a control terminal for implementing document manufacturing, the control terminal being electrically connected to the printing mechanism, the power mechanism and the feeding mechanism.

[0027] The control terminal is used to obtain the status of document printing, including:

[0028] The power mechanism drives the connecting part and the flipping bracket body to rotate;

[0029] The relative positions of the first printing window and / or the second printing window of the flip bracket body with the printing mechanism are obtained. When one of the first printing window and the second printing window of the flip bracket body corresponds to the printing mechanism, the printing mechanism is activated to spray printing information onto the substrate at one of the first printing window and the second printing window for the first time.

[0030] The printing status of the printing mechanism is obtained. After the printing status of the printing mechanism is that the first printing is completed, the power mechanism is driven again to rotate the connecting part and the flip bracket body. When the other side of the substrate is obtained to correspond to the printing mechanism, the printing mechanism sprays printing information a second time onto the substrate at the other location of the first printing window and the second printing window.

[0031] The printing status of the printing mechanism is acquired again. After the printing status of the printing mechanism is that the second printing is completed, the power mechanism is driven to rotate the connecting part and the flip bracket body by a preset angle, so that the substrate with the information printed slides out from the positioning groove of the flip bracket body into the material box.

[0032] The technical solution of this invention employs a flip-up bracket body connected to a connecting part. This connecting part serves as a connecting structure and can be used to connect a power mechanism, which provides power to rotate the flip-up bracket body and the connecting part. The flip-up bracket body is provided with at least one set of first and second printing windows, and a positioning groove. The positioning groove connects the first and second printing windows to one side of the flip-up bracket body. The first and second printing windows correspond to the front and back of the document, respectively. The document substrate can slide into the first and second printing windows of the flip-up bracket body through the positioning groove, and the substrate is confined at the positioning groove, facilitating the flip-up bracket body's positioning of the document. This invention's flip-up mechanism effectively confines the document substrate, allowing it to flip within the printing area, enabling printing on both the front and back of the document. This avoids the need for repeated manual flipping and re-printing of the document, effectively improving the efficiency of document manufacturing. Attached Figure Description

[0044] The implementation, functional features, and advantages of this invention will be further explained in conjunction with the embodiments and with reference to the accompanying drawings. Detailed Implementation

[0045] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, and not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0046] It should be noted that if the embodiments of the present invention involve directional indicators (such as up, down, left, right, front, back, etc.), the directional indicators are only used to explain the relative positional relationship and movement of the components in a certain specific posture (as shown in the figure). If the specific posture changes, the directional indicators will also change accordingly.

[0047] Furthermore, if the embodiments of this invention involve descriptions such as "first" or "second," these descriptions are for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying their relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Therefore, a feature defined with "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of those features. Additionally, the word "and / or" throughout the text means including three parallel solutions; for example, "A and / or B" includes solution A, solution B, or a solution that simultaneously satisfies A and B. Furthermore, the technical solutions of the various embodiments can be combined with each other, but this must be based on the ability of those skilled in the art to implement them. When the combination of technical solutions is contradictory or impossible to implement, it should be considered that such a combination of technical solutions does not exist and is not within the scope of protection claimed by this invention.

[0048] This invention proposes a flipping mechanism. The technical solution for which protection is sought is mainly used to improve the efficiency of double-sided printing of documents and to solve the technical problems existing in the two most representative existing technical methods. The two most representative existing technical methods include: the first technical method, in double-sided printing of documents, requires printing information on two separate films, then positioning the two films and the document, and finally pressing the two films onto the document; the second technical method, in double-sided printing of documents, prioritizes printing one side of the document, removes the document after printing, and then manually or robotically flips the document before sending it back to the printing area for printing the other side. In other words, there is a complex process that requires repeatedly removing and flipping the document for secondary printing.

[0049] The technical solution claimed in this report proposes a flipping mechanism installed on a document manufacturing device to cooperate with a printing mechanism for printing on both sides of the document. In other words, the flipping mechanism positions and flips the document's substrate, allowing the printing mechanism to print information onto the substrate. See details for further information. Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of a structure of an embodiment of the flipping mechanism of the present invention; see reference. Figure 2 ,for Figure 1 Enlarged view of a section at point A; for reference Figure 3 , for along Figure 1 Sectional view along the I-I direction; Reference Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of another embodiment of the flipping mechanism of the present invention; see reference. Figure 5 This is a schematic diagram of another embodiment of the flipping mechanism of the present invention; see reference. Figure 6 This is a schematic diagram of another embodiment of the flipping mechanism of the present invention; see reference. Figure 7 This is a schematic diagram of the document manufacturing equipment of the present invention.

[0050] In this embodiment of the invention, the flipping mechanism 1, referenced Figure 1 , Figure 2 as well as Figure 3 As shown, the flipping mechanism 1 includes:

[0051] The flip-up bracket body 2 has a first flip-up surface and a second flip-up surface opposite to the first flip-up surface. The flip-up bracket body 2 has a positioning groove 22 for directional insertion of a substrate (not shown), a first printing window 251 opened on the first flip-up surface, and a second printing window 271 opened on the second flip-up surface. The positioning groove 22 connects the first printing window 251, the second printing window 271 and one side of the flip-up bracket body 2. One surface of the substrate is exposed through the first printing window 251 and the other surface is exposed through the second printing window 271.

[0052] Among them, the first printing window 251, the second printing window 271, and the positioning groove 22 constitute a printing unit, and each of the flip-up bracket bodies 2 is provided with at least one printing unit; and

[0053] At least one connecting part 3 is provided on the flip bracket body 2 and is offset from the positioning slide groove 22. The connecting part 3 is used to connect the power mechanism.

[0054] Driven by the connecting part 3 and the power mechanism, the flip-up bracket body 2 has a first printing state in which the first printing window 251 faces the inkjet printhead, a second printing state in which the second printing window 271 faces the inkjet printhead, and a further flip-up state in which the substrate slides away from the positioning groove 22. The substrate is inserted into the positioning groove 22 in the first printing state.

[0055] The technical solution of this invention employs a flip-up bracket body 2 connected to a connecting part 3. The connecting part 3 serves as a connecting structure and can be used to connect a power mechanism 5, which can be a motor and its cooperating components. The power mechanism 5 provides power to rotate the flip-up bracket body 2 and the connecting part 3. The flip-up bracket body 2 is provided with at least one set of first printing windows 251 and second printing windows 271, as well as a positioning groove 22. The positioning groove 22 connects the first printing windows 251 and second printing windows 271 to one side of the flip-up bracket body 2. The first printing windows 251 and second printing windows 271 correspond to the front and back of the document, respectively. The substrate of the document can slide into the first printing windows 251 and second printing windows 271 of the flip-up bracket body 2 through the positioning groove 22, and the substrate is limited at the positioning groove 22, facilitating the positioning of the document by the flip-up bracket body 2. This flip-up mechanism 1 of the present invention can effectively limit the substrate of the document, facilitating the flipping of the substrate in the printing area, enabling printing on both the front and back of the document. This avoids the need for repeated manual flipping and re-printing of the document, effectively improving the efficiency of document manufacturing.

[0056] In one embodiment of the present invention, the first printing window 251, the second printing window 271, and the positioning groove 22 constitute a set of printing units. It can be understood that the first printing window 251 and the second printing window 271 can be directly opposite each other; or, the first printing window 251 and the second printing window 271 can have any corresponding relationship, or even that the first printing window 251 and the second printing window 271 do not correspond, and the first printing window 251 and the second printing window 271 are connected to the positioning groove 22. Combined with... Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram showing the first printing window 251 and the second printing window 271 facing each other. Figure 5This is a schematic diagram showing only one of the first printing window 251 or the second printing window 271.

[0057] Furthermore, the first printing window 251 or the second printing window 271 may cover the entire surface area of ​​the substrate, or the first printing window 251 or the second printing window 271 may cover a portion of the substrate surface. For example, the first printing window 251 or the second printing window 271 may correspond to the left or right surface of the front side of the substrate, or the first printing window 251 or the second printing window 271 may correspond to the left or right surface of the back side of the substrate, or the first printing window 251 or the second printing window 271 may correspond to the entire front or back side of the substrate.

[0058] Understandably, the flipping mechanism 1 includes: a flipping support body 2 and at least one connecting part 3. The assembly scheme of the flipping support body 2 and the connecting part 3 can be adjusted according to actual production needs, for example:

[0059] When the mounting space of the frame assembling the flipping mechanism 1 is large, two connecting parts 3 can be provided on the flipping bracket body 2, and the two connecting parts 3 are coaxially arranged; that is, the power mechanism 5 can connect one or both of the two connecting parts 3, so that the two connecting parts 3 respectively serve as a force-bearing point connecting the flipping bracket body 2, so that the power mechanism 5 can drive the connecting parts 3 and the flipping bracket body 2 to rotate.

[0060] Alternatively, two connecting parts 3 are provided on the same side of the flip bracket body 2, and the two connecting parts 3 are parallel to or overlap with the extension surface of the flip bracket body 2, so that the flip bracket body 2 can rotate synchronously when the two connecting parts 3 are rotated.

[0061] When the installation space of the frame assembling the flipping mechanism 1 is small, only one connecting part 3 can be connected to one side of the flipping bracket body 2, and the power mechanism 5 is connected to the flipping bracket body 2 through the connecting part 3.

[0062] In an optional embodiment of the invention, reference is made to... Figure 1 As shown, the connecting part 3 and the positioning groove 22 are offset. It can be understood that the positioning groove 22 is for the substrate of the document to slide into, and the offset arrangement of the connecting part 3 and the positioning groove 22 prevents the connecting part 3 from obstructing the sliding of the document substrate. The connecting part 3 can be located on the side of the groove opening of the positioning groove 22, or it can be located on the other side of the flip-up bracket body 2 where the groove opening of the positioning groove 22 is located; that is, the connecting part 3 and the positioning groove 22 are located on different sides of the flip-up bracket body 2.

[0063] In an optional embodiment of the present invention, the flip-up bracket body 2 can be configured as a rectangular frame structure. Any one side of the rectangular frame structure can be configured as the side connecting the connecting part 3, and rotating the connecting part 3 causes the flip-up bracket body 2 to rotate about the connecting part 3 as an axis. Optionally, the connecting part 3 can be located on the center symmetry of the rectangular frame structure. For example, when the flip-up bracket body 2 is square, the connecting part 3 can be located on the symmetrical position of any one of its sides, or on the diagonal of the square flip-up bracket body 2; when the flip-up bracket body 2 is rectangular, the connecting part 3 can be located on the symmetrical position of any one of its sides.

[0064] Furthermore, in cases where the flip-up bracket body 2 is not required to flip symmetrically, for example, where the printing mechanism 4 can be adjusted according to the actual positions of the first printing window 251 and the second printing window 271, the connecting part 3 can also be set to be connected to any position on the flip-up bracket body 2.

[0065] In an optional embodiment of the present invention, the flip bracket body 2 and the connecting part 3 can be made of any material, for example: the flip bracket body 2 and the connecting part 3 can be made of metal; or, the flip bracket body 2 and the connecting part 3 can be made of plastic.

[0066] In an optional embodiment of the invention, combined with Figure 3 The first printing window 251 and the second printing window 271 face each other and are connected to the positioning slide 22 to form a printing port 21. The first printing window 251, the second printing window 271 and the positioning slide 22 form a printing unit. At least one printing unit is provided on each of the flip bracket bodies. It can be understood that multiple printing ports 21 are provided on the flip bracket body 2.

[0067] The flip bracket body 2 is provided with at least one printing port 21, and multiple printing ports 21 can be arranged side by side on the flip bracket body 2. Alternatively, multiple printing ports 21 can also be arranged side by side in a straight line on the flip bracket body 2.

[0068] When the flipping mechanism 1 claimed in this invention is applied to a document manufacturing equipment, the document substrate is conveyed to the positioning chute 22 by any material conveying mechanism such as a robotic arm, conveyor belt, or rollers. The substrate is then guided by the positioning chute 22 to the first printing window 251 and the second printing window 271. Next, the printing mechanism 4 sprays the first information onto the substrate corresponding to one of the first printing window 251 and the second printing window 271. The power mechanism 5 drives the connecting part 3 and the flipping bracket body 2 to flip, so that the other side of the substrate is printed through the other corresponding printing mechanism 4 of the first printing window 251 and the second printing window 271. In the next step, the printing mechanism 4 prints on the other side, effectively achieving double-sided printing of the document substrate.

[0069] In one embodiment of the present invention, combined with Figure 6 As shown, the flipping mechanism 1 includes a plurality of flipping bracket bodies 2 and at least one connecting part 3;

[0070] The side of the flip bracket body 2 that faces away from the opening of the positioning slide groove 22 is defined as the connecting edge. The connecting edge is not marked. Figure 6 The edges connecting the two flip bracket bodies 2; the connecting edges of the plurality of flip bracket bodies 2 are all connected to at least one connecting part 3, and the at least one connecting part 3 is used as the central pivot. That is to say, when there are two connecting parts 3, the two connecting parts 3 are located on both sides of the flip bracket body 2, and the two connecting parts 3 are coaxially arranged.

[0071] Provided that the printing mechanism 4 does not affect the printing information printed on the flip support body 2, that is, provided that the structure of the flip support body 2 does not affect the movement of the printing mechanism 4, a design with multiple flip support bodies 2 coexisting can be selected.

[0072] In one embodiment of the present invention, the included angle between two adjacent flipping bracket bodies 2 is 90° to 180°.

[0073] In an optional embodiment of the present invention, when the flipping mechanism 1 includes two flipping bracket bodies 2, the included angle between the two flipping bracket bodies 2 is 180°, that is, the two flipping bracket bodies 2 are arranged on the same plane.

[0074] In an optional embodiment of the present invention, when the flipping mechanism 1 includes two flipping bracket bodies 2, the included angle between the two flipping bracket bodies 2 is 120°.

[0075] In an optional embodiment of the present invention, when the flipping mechanism 1 includes two flipping bracket bodies 2, the included angle between the two flipping bracket bodies 2 is 90°.

[0076] In an optional embodiment of the present invention, the flipping mechanism 1 includes three flipping support bodies 2, and the included angle between two adjacent flipping support bodies 2 is 120°.

[0077] In an optional embodiment of the present invention, the flipping mechanism 1 includes four flipping support bodies 2, and the included angle between two adjacent flipping support bodies 2 is 90°.

[0078] In one embodiment of the present invention, the first printing window 251 and the second printing window 271 are arranged facing each other and form a printing opening 21.

[0079] In one embodiment of the present invention, reference is made to... Figure 2 As shown, the flip bracket body 2 is also provided with a guide slope 23. The guide slope 23 is located at the end of the positioning groove 22 away from the printing port 21. The guide slope 23 is used to guide the substrate into the printing port 21.

[0080] Understandably, when multiple printing openings 21 are provided on the flip bracket body 2, and when the multiple printing openings 21 are arranged side by side or in a straight line, each printing opening 21 is provided with a corresponding positioning groove 22, and each positioning groove 22 is provided with a guide slope 23. That is to say, the positioning groove 22 is set to be open at the position away from the printing opening 21, which makes it easier for the substrate to slide in.

[0081] In an optional embodiment of the present invention, when the flip bracket body 2 is provided with a printing port 21, the positioning groove 22 of the flip bracket body 2 can be set as one.

[0082] In an optional embodiment of the present invention, reference is made to... Figure 1 As shown, when the flip bracket body 2 is provided with multiple printing ports 21 and adjacent printing ports 21 are arranged at intervals, the positioning groove 22 of the flip bracket body 2 can be set as one or more. For example, when the positioning groove 22 of the flip bracket body 2 is set as one, one positioning groove 22 connects multiple printing ports 21, and the inner sidewall of the positioning groove 22 is provided with a guide slope 23 corresponding to each printing port 21; or, one printing port 21 corresponds to one positioning groove 22, and the sidewall of each positioning groove 22 is provided with a guide slope 23.

[0083] In one embodiment of the present invention, the flip-up bracket body 2 is provided with a plurality of spaced-apart printing ports 21, which are arranged linearly. That is, by using the flip-up bracket body 2 with a plurality of printing ports 21, multiple substrates can be loaded at the same time, which facilitates the printing mechanism 4 to print on multiple substrates simultaneously, thereby improving the efficiency of double-sided printing of documents.

[0084] The multiple printing ports 21 are arranged linearly. This can be understood as the multiple printing ports 21 extending in the same straight line direction along the long side of the same side, with the long side of the printing port 21 as the reference. When the first printing window 251 and the second printing window 271 are set as windows staggered on the flip bracket body 2, with the extension surface of the positioning groove 22 as a reference, it can be understood that the multiple positioning grooves 22 are arranged linearly.

[0085] Multiple printing ports 21 are arranged linearly. This can be understood as multiple printing ports 21 extending in the same straight line direction on the same side, with the short side of the printing port 21 as a reference. When the first printing window 251 and the second printing window 271 are set as windows staggered on the flip bracket body 2, with the extension surface of the positioning groove 22 as a reference, it can be understood that multiple positioning grooves 22 are arranged in parallel.

[0086] In one embodiment of the present invention, reference is made to... Figure 1 As shown, one end of the flipping bracket body 2 is connected to a connecting part 3, and the other end is connected to another connecting part 3. The two connecting parts 3 are coaxially arranged. That is to say, the connecting part 3 serves as the force-bearing point of the flipping bracket body 2, so that both ends of the flipping bracket body 2 have a single force-bearing point, thereby improving the stability of the flipping mechanism 1 in positioning the base material of the document. On the other hand, the two connecting parts 3 are coaxially arranged, and rotating the connecting part 3 allows the flipping bracket body 2 and the two connecting parts 3 to rotate stably.

[0087] Preferably, the two connecting parts 3 correspond to the central symmetry line of the flip-up bracket body 2, thereby improving the rotational stability of the flip-up bracket body 2. When printing documents, by adopting the structure in which the two connecting parts 3 correspond to the central symmetry line of the flip-up bracket body 2, it is possible to choose not to adjust the relative position of the printing mechanism 4, and to directly proceed with the printing process after rotating the flip-up bracket body 2.

[0088] In an optional embodiment of the present invention, the flip bracket body 2 has multiple printing ports 21, and the connecting part 3 is disposed on both sides of the flip bracket body 2, so that the connecting part 3 is staggered from the multiple printing ports 21 and the positioning slide 22, thereby avoiding interference between the connecting part 3 and the positioning slide 22 and improving the stability of document printing.

[0089] In one embodiment of the present invention, a limiting groove (not shown) is formed inward on the inner sidewall of the printing port 21, and the limiting groove is correspondingly provided with the positioning slide groove 22. That is, the inner wall surface of the printing port 21 can be provided with a limiting groove to facilitate the positioning of the substrate of the document; wherein, the cross-sectional dimensions of the limiting groove are equivalent to the cross-sectional dimensions of the substrate.

[0090] Therefore, after the document slides from the positioning groove 22 into the printing port 21, the substrate of the document can be just positioned in the printing port 21 so that the substrate can be just exposed in the printing port 21, which is convenient for the printing mechanism 4 to complete the document printing.

[0091] In one embodiment of the present invention, a limiting groove (not shown) is formed inward on the inner sidewall of the printing port 21, and the limiting groove is connected to the positioning slide groove 22.

[0092] On the other hand, even if the inner wall of the printing port 21 is not provided with a limiting groove, if the material of the flip bracket body 2 has a certain strength, after the substrate slides into the positioning groove 22, the inner wall surface of the positioning groove 22 can limit one side of the substrate, ensuring that the substrate will not slide off from the printing port 21.

[0093] Based on the above, the surface of the inner wall of the printing port 21 opposite to the positioning groove 22 is defined as the first surface, that is, the first surface is the surface used to hold the substrate. The two sides intersecting with the first surface are defined as the second surfaces, wherein the extending direction of the second surfaces is the same as the extending direction of the positioning groove 22. It can be understood that when the substrate slides from the positioning groove 22 into the printing port 21, the two sides of the substrate are respectively in contact with the two second surfaces, and the front end of the substrate abuts against the first surface.

[0094] In other words, the limiting groove can be set on the first surface or any second surface, and the size of the limiting groove is greater than or equal to the thickness of the substrate.

[0095] Optionally, the limiting groove can be provided on two second surfaces.

[0096] Optionally, limiting grooves are provided on both the first surface and the two second surfaces.

[0097] In one embodiment of the present invention, reference is made to... Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the flip-up support body 2 includes a first frame 25, a second frame 26 and a third frame 27, which are stacked sequentially.

[0098] The first frame 25 is provided with a first printing window 251, the second frame 26 is provided with a limit slide 261, and the third frame 27 is provided with a second printing window 271.

[0099] The first printing window 251, the limiting slide 261 and the second printing window 271 are correspondingly arranged to form a printing opening 21;

[0100] The first frame 25, the second frame 26, and the third frame 27 are stacked sequentially. A limiting groove 261 connects the first printing window 251 and the second printing window 271. The limiting groove 261 also connects to one side of the second frame 26, and together with the first frame 25 and the third frame 27, forms a positioning groove 22. Specifically, the second frame 26 has a clearance area that does not connect with the first frame 25 and the third frame 27. A portion of the first frame 25 and a portion of the third frame 27 are positioned opposite each other but at a relative interval in this clearance area, forming the positioning groove 22.

[0101] In this embodiment, the flip-up bracket body 2 is constructed by stacking a first frame 25, a second frame 26, and a third frame 27. Each of the first frame 25, the second frame 26, and the third frame 27 has a corresponding through slot. The first printing window 251 and the second printing window 271 can have openings of similar size, while the limiting groove 261 can have a relatively larger opening. That is, because the opening size of the limiting groove 261 is larger than that of the first printing window 251 and the second printing window 271, after the first frame 25, the second frame 26, and the third frame 27 are stacked, the two sides of the limiting groove 261 enclose the surfaces of the corresponding first frame 25 and third frame 27, thus forming a limiting groove.

[0102] On the other hand, the limiting groove 261 is configured to connect to one side of the second frame 26. After the first frame 25, the second frame 26 and the third frame 27 are stacked, there is an area between the first frame 25 and the third frame 27 that does not cover the second frame 26, thus forming the positioning groove 22.

[0103] Understandably, the flip bracket body 2 is composed of a first frame 25, a second frame 26, and a third frame 27, which facilitates the adjustment of the size of the flip bracket body 2. For example, the relative position of the second frame 26 to the first frame 25 and the third frame 27 can be adjusted to increase or decrease the printing opening 21 in the middle area. At the same time, the size of the limiting groove can also be adjusted.

[0104] Optionally, the first frame 25, the second frame 26, and the third frame 27 can be locked together with screws.

[0105] Optionally, in some special production needs, the flip bracket body 2 can also be formed by 3D printing.

[0106] In one embodiment of the present invention, the first frame 25 is provided with a misalignment notch 252, which is located at the end of the positioning groove 22 away from the first printing window 251.

[0107] In this embodiment, a misalignment notch 252 is provided on the first frame 25, which corresponds to the positioning groove 22, so as to form a foolproof structure on the flip bracket body 2, so that the document can enter the positioning groove 22 from the misalignment notch 252 and then slide into the printing opening 21.

[0108] In an optional embodiment of the present invention, the misaligned notch 252 is spaced apart from the first printing window 251.

[0109] In one embodiment of the present invention, the flipping mechanism 1 further includes a driving component (not shown), which is correspondingly disposed with the positioning groove 22 and is used to eject the substrate at the positioning groove 22. The inlet size of the positioning groove 22 is approximately equal to the cross-sectional size of the document to be printed.

[0110] In this embodiment, the structure of the drive component in conjunction with the assembly allows the drive component to eject the substrate after the substrate printing of the document is completed, thus preventing the substrate from being left on the flip bracket body 2.

[0111] Optionally, the drive assembly can be configured as a cylinder structure, an electric cylinder structure, or an air pump structure. For example, a cylinder or electric cylinder drives the ejector pin to slide along the extension direction of the positioning groove 22 in the printing port 21, pushing the substrate out of the positioning groove 22; or, an air pump blows air onto the substrate, causing the substrate to slide out of the positioning groove 22.

[0112] This invention also proposes a document manufacturing device, with reference to Figure 7 As shown, the document manufacturing equipment includes a printing mechanism 4, a power mechanism 5, a feeding mechanism 6, a material container 7, and a flipping mechanism 1. The specific structure of the flipping mechanism 1 is as described in the above embodiments. Since this document manufacturing equipment adopts all the technical solutions of all the above embodiments, it has at least all the beneficial effects brought about by the technical solutions of the above embodiments, and will not be described in detail here. The power mechanism 5 is connected to the connecting part 3 of the flipping mechanism 1. The printing mechanism 4 and the feeding mechanism 6 are arranged adjacent to the flipping support body 2 of the flipping mechanism 1. The material container 7 is correspondingly arranged on one side of the flipping support body 2.

[0113] Understandably, the printing mechanism 4, the power mechanism 5, the feeding mechanism 6, the material container 7, and the flipping mechanism 1 are all located on the frame.

[0114] In one embodiment of the present invention, combined with Figure 7 The document manufacturing equipment also includes a control terminal 8 for implementing document manufacturing, which is electrically connected to the printing mechanism 4, the power mechanism 5, and the feeding mechanism 6. Understandably, the control terminal 8 can be any type of computer, laptop computer, MCU control unit, etc.

[0115] The control terminal is used to obtain the status of document printing, including:

[0116] Step 101: Drive the power mechanism to rotate the connecting part and the flipping bracket body;

[0117] Step 201: Obtain the relative position of the first printing window and / or the second printing window of the flip bracket body with the printing mechanism. When one of the first printing window and the second printing window of the flip bracket body corresponds to the printing mechanism, the printing mechanism is activated to print spray coating information onto the substrate at one of the first printing window and the second printing window for the first time.

[0118] Step 301: Obtain the printing status of the printing mechanism. After the printing mechanism completes the first printing, drive the power mechanism again to rotate the connecting part and the flip bracket body. When the other side of the substrate corresponds to the printing mechanism, the printing mechanism prints spray printing information to the substrate at the other location of the first printing window and the second printing window for the second time.

[0119] Step 401: Obtain the printing status of the printing mechanism again. After the printing status of the printing mechanism is that the second printing is completed, drive the power mechanism to rotate the connecting part and the flip bracket body by a preset angle, so that the substrate that has completed the information printing slides out from the positioning groove of the flip bracket body into the material box.

[0120] Understandably, it is assumed that the position from the input substrate to the flip bracket body is the origin. At this time, in order to prevent the substrate from not fully entering the positioning groove and corresponding to the first and second printing windows, as in step 101, the power mechanism is driven to rotate the connecting part and the flip bracket body clockwise (here, clockwise is for ease of explanation; in the case of reverse assembly structure, a counterclockwise rotation of a preset angle can also be selected) by 5 to 20 degrees, so that the substrate enters the positioning groove and corresponds to the first and second printing windows. After the substrate abuts against the inner wall of the positioning groove, it is rotated counterclockwise by an angle so that the surface of the substrate corresponding to one of the first and second printing windows faces the printing mechanism. This can be considered as the front of the substrate being printed (similarly, the back of the substrate can also be printed first, and the order of printing the front and back is not limited), which facilitates the printing mechanism to print.

[0121] Based on the above, after completing the first printing step in step 201, in order to print the back side of the substrate, with the positioning slide in the positive direction of the origin, the power mechanism can be driven to rotate the connecting part and the flipping bracket body 180 degrees clockwise based on the origin (if the flipping mechanism has two or more flipping bracket bodies, it can be flipped at any angle according to the actual situation. For example, if there are three flipping bracket bodies and the included angle between two adjacent flipping bracket bodies is 120 degrees, it can be flipped by 120 degrees according to the actual situation), so that the back side of the substrate can face the printing mechanism to achieve the second printing.

[0122] After the back of the document is printed in step 301, based on step 401, the power mechanism can continue to be driven to rotate the connecting part and the flipping bracket body by any angle from 10 to 90 degrees clockwise, so that the document can slide out from the positioning groove into the material box.

[0123] Optionally, before step 101, the method further includes: step 102, adjusting the feeding mechanism to output the document to the flip-up bracket body. When the substrate is found at the printing port of the flip-up bracket body, a control command for aligning the substrate is retrieved.

[0124] Optionally, the control command for aligning the substrate may include: step 103, calling the power mechanism to drive the connecting part and the flipping bracket body to rotate, so that the entire substrate falls into the printing port.

[0125] The control command for aligning the substrate may also include: step 104, which is different from step 103, calling the power mechanism to drive the connecting part and the flipping bracket body to rotate forward by a preset angle, and then slide backward by a preset angle, so that the document can be stably dropped into the printing opening.

[0126] The above are merely optional embodiments of the present invention and do not limit the patent scope of the present invention. All equivalent structural transformations made using the description and drawings of the present invention under the inventive concept of the present invention, or direct / indirect applications in other related technical fields, are included within the patent protection scope of the present invention.
