These two new technologies can print banners with double-sided images and texts, and make the images and texts on the front and back of the banners appear the same, greatly improving the viewing quality of the banners. However, some users have not introduced the latest double-sided printers for various reasons. When the single-sided printers they use print single-sided coated banner cloth, the images and texts can be clearly observed on the printed side of the printed banner. Since the banner cloth itself has pores that can transmit light and pigments, the images and texts can also be observed on the back of the printed side. However, compared with the above-mentioned double-sided printed banners, the images and texts on the back of the printed side are light in color and blurred, so the resulting banners are not beautiful.

[0025] In order to more clearly understand the above-mentioned purpose, features and advantages of the utility model, the utility model is further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be noted that the embodiments of the present application and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other without conflict.

[0026] In the following description, many specific details are set forth to facilitate a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways than those described herein. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments of the following disclosure.

[0027] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 As shown, a structure for achieving a double-sided transparent effect of a thermal printer is preferably implemented on a thermal printer capable of heating a rubber roller 2 to reduce the impact of a cold environment on the printing process, thereby obtaining a better printing effect. The thermal printer capable of heating the rubber roller 2 comprises a print head 1 and a rubber roller 2, the rubber roller 2 is hollow, and the two ends of the rubber roller 2 are connected with a rotary joint 4, one of the rotary joints 4 is connected to a water tank 5 for holding water by a pipeline connection, and the other rotary joint 4 is connected to a circulating water pump 6 by a pipeline connection, and the circulating water pump 6 is connected to the water tank 5 by a pipeline connection. A heater 7 for heating water is arranged in the water tank 5, and the water in the water tank 5 is heated and enters the rubber roller 2, thereby achieving heating of the rubber roller 2. In order to make the back image and text of the printed surface more clearly observed by people, the utility model is engraved with a mesh pattern on the surface of the rubber roller 2, and the mesh pattern includes a plurality of annular longitudinal ventilation grooves 9.

[0028] In the utility model, the mesh pattern engraved on the surface of the rubber roller 2 is not used to increase the friction between the banner and the banner, but is intended to allow the pigment to pass through the pores 8 of the banner cloth 3 smoothly. The principle is as follows: during the printing process, the print head 1 presses the banner cloth 3 onto the rubber roller 2. From a microscopic perspective, the print head 1 and the banner cloth 3, as well as the rubber roller 2 and the banner cloth 3 are in surface contact. Therefore, in the portion of the banner cloth 3 at the printing point, the upper and lower openings of the pores 8 of the banner cloth 3 are blocked. Since the print head 1 generates heat during the printing process, the air in the pores 8 expands due to the heat, which prevents the pigment on the printed surface of the banner cloth 3 from passing through the pores 8. Therefore, the back of the printed surface of the banner cloth 3 is lightly colored and the image and text are not clear. After the reticulation is added to the rubber roller 2, the air in the pores 8 can enter the reticulation, and the reticulation includes an annular longitudinal ventilation groove 9, so that the air entering the reticulation can be lost along the circumference of the rubber roller 2, and the air will not be blocked in the reticulation, so the pigment can pass through the pores 8 to the back of the printing surface, achieving a "double-sided transparent" effect. This method can be achieved by simply replacing the rubber roller 2 with the reticulation engraved, and has the advantage of simple operation.

[0029] Furthermore, the rubber roller 2 is covered with a breathable heat-insulating layer, so that the air in the pores 8 of the banner cloth 3 can escape, and at the same time, it has an additional heat-insulating effect on the rubber roller 2 and reduces heat loss.

[0030] Furthermore, the breathable heat-insulating layer is a mesh cloth 10 wrapped on the rubber roller 2, and the mesh cloth 10 is made of cotton and linen.

[0031] Furthermore, the breathable heat-insulating layer is composed of cotton thread 11 tightly wound on the rubber roller 2.

[0032] In addition, the mesh cloth 10 and the cotton thread 11 made of cotton and linen materials can conduct electricity, so after the breathable heat-insulating layer made of these two solutions is put on the rubber roller 2, this new structure can still play the same anti-static function as the rubber roller 2.

[0033] Furthermore, the mesh pattern in the side unfolded view of the rubber roller 2 is a pattern including a plurality of quadrilateral grids.

[0034] Furthermore, the depth of the longitudinal ventilation groove 9 is 0.005 mm to 0.01 mm.

[0035] Furthermore, the width of the longitudinal ventilation groove 9 is 0.005 mm to 0.01 mm.

[0036] Furthermore, the mesh density of the reticulation is 40-100 meshes.

[0037] Furthermore, the temperature of the water in the water tank 5 is 60°C to 80°C.

[0038] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and does not limit the present invention in other forms. Any technician familiar with the profession may use the technical content disclosed above to change or modify it into an equivalent embodiment with equivalent changes and apply it to other fields. However, any simple modification, equivalent change and modification made to the above embodiment based on the technical essence of the present invention without departing from the content of the technical solution of the present invention still falls within the protection scope of the technical solution of the present invention.
