DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0030] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0031] See also Figure 1-8As shown, a feeding device for a thermal film printer comprises a bottom plate 1; a printer body 2 is arranged on the bottom plate 1, a conveying mechanism 3 is arranged in the printer body 2, and the conveying mechanism 3 is installed on the bottom plate 1 through a fixing member, a plurality of storage mechanisms 4 are arranged on the conveying mechanism 3 along the conveying direction, a storage assembly 5 is arranged at the conveying end of the conveying mechanism 3, and limited support assemblies 6 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the conveying mechanism 3 along the conveying direction, and the storage mechanism 4 is located inside the limited support assembly 6;

[0032] The printer body 2 includes a conveyor belt 7, and the outer surface of the conveyor belt 7 is evenly distributed with partitions 8, and the distance between two adjacent partitions 8 is equal to the bottom width of the storage mechanism 4;

[0033] The position limiting support assembly 6 includes two parallel trusses 12, and the two trusses 12 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the conveyor belt 7, and the storage mechanism 4 is slidably arranged inside the two trusses 12;

[0034] The storage mechanism 4 includes a storage box 13, in which a box cover 14 is rotatably installed in the upper opening of the storage box 13 through a pin shaft, two L-shaped side panels 20 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the storage mechanism 4, and the storage mechanism 4 is slidably arranged between the two trusses 12 through the two L-shaped side panels 20, a paper outlet slot 21 is penetrated through the side of the storage mechanism 4, and a mounting slot 22 is provided at the lower part of the opening of the paper outlet slot 21, and an anti-slip rubber strip 23 is installed in the mounting slot 22, and the anti-slip rubber strip 23 is located in the storage mechanism 4, a paper picking assembly is installed under the box cover 14, a jacking assembly is arranged at the bottom of the storage box 13, a signal transmitting module 33 is installed under the jacking assembly, a signal receiving module 32 is installed on the box cover 14, and the active end of the signal transmitting module 33 is facing the signal receiving module 32.

[0035] During operation, since the film capacity of the existing printer feeding mechanism is small, the film needs to be frequently replenished during use, which affects the normal printing of the printer, and the continuous printing efficiency is low, resulting in inconvenience in use. In this solution, by storing the films in multiple storage mechanisms 4 respectively, the box cover 14 is flipped open from the storage box body 13 when the films are stored. When the box cover 14 is flipped open, it will drive the paper pickup assembly below it to be flipped out of the storage box body 13, and then the films are stacked and placed on the lifting assembly, and then the film is pressed downward and the box cover 14 is flipped and buckled on the storage box body 13. At this time, under the downward pressure of the paper pickup assembly, the film will push the lifting assembly to move downward, and then The box cover 14 is locked on the storage box body 13. Under the continuous lifting of the lifting assembly, the film will always be attached to the paper picking assembly, and the light signal emitted by the signal transmitting module 33 cannot be transmitted to the signal receiving module 32 due to the obstruction of the film. A plurality of storage mechanisms 4 are slidably arranged on the inner side of the two trusses 12 through the L-shaped side panels 20 on both sides thereof, and the storage mechanisms 4 are placed so that they are stuck between two adjacent partitions 8. The conveyor belt 7 is driven by the No. 1 motor 9 to operate. When the conveyor belt 7 is running, it will drive the partition 8 to move along its transmission direction, and when the partition 8 moves, it will push the storage mechanism 4 to move in its transmission direction, and the storage mechanism 4 will pass through the L-shaped side panels 20 on both sides thereof. The side plate 20 slides toward the printer body 2 on the two trusses 12. When the storage mechanism 4 moves into the printer body 2, the No. 1 motor 9 stops running. When printing, the film is sent out from the paper output slot 21 through the paper pickup assembly. When the upper film is sent out and drives the lower film to move, it will be blocked by the anti-slip rubber strip 23, so that only the upper film can be sent out from the paper output slot 21. The sent film then enters the printer body 2 for printing. When the film in the storage mechanism 4 is used up, the light signal emitted by the signal transmitting module 33 will be received by the signal receiving module 32 when it loses the obstruction, and the signal receiving module 32 located in the printer body 2 will transmit the signal to the printer body. 2, the printer body 2 controls the No. 1 motor 9 to operate after receiving the signal. At this time, the storage mechanism 4 with the film stored on the conveyor belt 7 will be sent into the printer body 2 again under the operation of the No. 1 motor 9, and the storage mechanism 4 that has used up the film will be pushed into the storage component 5 by the later storage mechanism 4 for storage. When the operator is free, he can put the film into the storage mechanism 4 in the storage component 5 and then put it into the conveying mechanism 3 for film storage, which achieves the function of film transportation. Compared with the traditional thermal film printer feeding device, the film storage capacity is larger, which effectively improves the convenience of using the thermal film printer and ensures the continuous supply of film in emergency situations.

[0036] A motor 9 for driving the conveyor belt 7 is installed on a transmission shaft of the conveyor belt 7 , and the two trusses 12 are parallel to the transmission reverse direction of the conveyor belt 7 .

[0037] The storage assembly 5 includes a support plate 10 and a U-shaped frame 11 . The U-shaped frame 11 is horizontally arranged, and the support plate 10 is horizontally installed under the U-shaped frame 11 . The U-shaped opening of the U-shaped frame 11 faces the conveying end of the conveying mechanism 3 .

[0038] See also Figure 4-8 As shown, the paper pickup assembly includes two parallel fixed plates 24 , and the two fixed plates 24 are perpendicular to the side of the storage mechanism 4 with the paper outlet slot 21 , and a pressing roller 25 is evenly arranged and rotatably installed between the two fixed plates 24 .

[0039] A rotating shaft 26 is rotatably installed between the ends of the two fixed plates 24 close to the paper output slot 21, and two semicircular rubbing plates 27 are symmetrically installed on the rotating shaft 26. The diameter of the semicircular rubbing plates 27 is larger than the diameter of the lower pressure roller 25, and a second motor 28 is installed at one end of the rotating shaft 26.

[0040] The lifting assembly includes limiting telescopic rods 18 evenly distributed at the bottom of the box cover 14. The limiting telescopic rods 18 extend vertically upward and are jointly installed with a lifting plate 15. Springs 19 are sleeved on the outer sides of the limiting telescopic rods 18, and the springs 19 are located under the lifting plate 15. A hole is opened through the lifting plate 15, and the signal transmitting module 33 is installed under the hole opened in the lifting plate 15.

[0041] The side walls of the box cover 14 are symmetrically provided with stop bars 29 for blocking the lifting plate 15 , and the inner side walls of the box cover 14 are symmetrically provided with guide rails 17 . The lifting plate 15 is symmetrically provided with limiting slide grooves 16 on both sides, and the lifting plate 15 is slidably arranged on the guide rails 17 through the limiting slide grooves 16 .

[0042] A rotating lock bar 30 is rotatably mounted on the side of the box cover 14 , and a lock buckle 31 for fixing the rotating lock bar 30 is mounted on the same side of the storage box body 13 and the rotating lock bar 30 .

[0043] During operation, in order to ensure the normal supply of films and to ensure that the films can be discharged from the storage mechanism normally, in this solution, in the initial state, the spring 19 will always push the lifting plate 15 upward, so that the lifting plate 15 will always fit under the stop bar 29. When the films are placed in the storage box 13 and pressed downward, the spring 19 will shrink, and after the box cover 14 is buckled on the storage box 13, when the box cover 14 is closed on the storage box 13, the rotating lock bar 30 can be rotated and locked into the lock buckle 31 to fix it. The paper pickup assembly will be against the stacked films, and under the action of the spring 19, the uppermost film will always fit the downward pressure roller 2 in the paper pickup assembly. 5, when the film is pushed, the second motor 28 drives the rotating shaft 26 to rotate, and when the rotating shaft 26 rotates, it drives the semicircular rubbing plate 27 to rotate around the rotating shaft 26 as the axis, and the diameter of the semicircular rubbing plate 27 is larger than the diameter of the pressing roller 25. When the semicircular rubbing plate 27 rotates onto the film, it rubs the top layer of the film to move toward the paper output slot 21, and when the film moves, the pressing roller 25 will roll along, and the lifting plate 15 will gradually move upward with the reduction of the film and the upward push of the spring 19, and will slide on the guide rail 17 through the limiting slide groove 16, so as to achieve the effect of film delivery and ensure the normal printing work.

[0044] The working principle is that the films are stored in a plurality of storage mechanisms 4 respectively. When the films are stored, the box cover 14 is flipped open from the storage box body 13. When the box cover 14 is flipped open, the paper pickup assembly below it is driven to be flipped out of the storage box body 13. Then, the films are stacked and placed on the lifting assembly. Then, the films are pressed downward and the box cover 14 is flipped and buckled on the storage box body 13. At this time, under the downward pressure of the paper pickup assembly, the films will push the lifting assembly to move downward, and then the box cover 14 will be locked on the storage box body 13. Under the continuous lifting of the lifting assembly, the films will always fit under the paper pickup assembly, and under the obstruction of the film, the signal The optical signal emitted by the signal transmitting module 33 cannot be transmitted to the signal receiving module 32, and the plurality of storage mechanisms 4 are slidably arranged on the inner sides of the two trusses 12 through the L-shaped side plates 20 on both sides thereof, and when the storage mechanism 4 is placed, it is clamped between two adjacent partitions 8, and the conveyor belt 7 is driven to operate by the No. 1 motor 9. When the conveyor belt 7 operates, it drives the partition 8 to move along its transmission direction, and when the partition 8 moves, it pushes the storage mechanism 4 to move in its transmission direction, and the storage mechanism 4 slides toward the printer body 2 on the two trusses 12 through the L-shaped side plates 20 on both sides thereof. When the storage mechanism 4 moves to the printer body 2, When the film in the storage mechanism 4 is used up, the light signal emitted by the signal transmitting module 33 will be received by the signal receiving module 32 when the light signal is lost. The signal receiving module 32 located in the printer main body 2 will transmit the signal to the printer main body 2. After receiving the signal, the printer main body 2 will control When the No. 1 motor 9 is running, the storage mechanism 4 with the film on the conveyor belt 7 will be sent into the printer body 2 again under the operation of the No. 1 motor 9, and the storage mechanism 4 with the used film will be pushed into the storage assembly 5 by the later storage mechanism 4 for storage. When the operator is free, he can put the film into the storage mechanism 4 in the storage assembly 5 and then put it into the conveying mechanism 3 for film storage, thereby achieving the function of film transportation. Compared with the traditional thermal film printer feeding device, the film storage capacity is larger, which effectively improves the convenience of using the thermal film printer and ensures the continuous supply of film in emergency situations.

[0045] In the initial state, the spring 19 will always push the lifting plate 15 upward, so that the lifting plate 15 is always attached to the stop bar 29. When the film is placed in the storage box 13 and pressed downward, the spring 19 will shrink. After the box cover 14 is buckled on the storage box 13, the box cover 14 is closed on the storage box 13 by rotating the rotating lock bar 30 and locking it into the lock buckle 31 to fix it. The paper pickup assembly will be against the stacked films, and under the action of the spring 19, the top layer of film will always be attached to the downward pressure roller 25 in the paper pickup assembly. When the film is pushed, the second motor 28 drives the belt The rotating shaft 26 rotates, and when the rotating shaft 26 rotates, it will drive the semicircular rubbing plate 27 to rotate around the rotating shaft 26 as the axis. The diameter of the semicircular rubbing plate 27 is larger than the diameter of the pressing roller 25. When the semicircular rubbing plate 27 rotates onto the film, it will rub the uppermost film to move toward the paper output slot 21, and when the film moves, the pressing roller 25 will roll along, and the lifting plate 15 will gradually move upward with the reduction of the film and the upward push of the spring 19, and will slide on the guide rail 17 through the limiting slide groove 16, so as to achieve the effect of film delivery and ensure the normal printing work.
