DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0025] The present invention will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments so that those skilled in the art can better understand the present invention and implement it, but the embodiments are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0026] Reference Figure 1 and 2 As shown, the reference of the utility model Figure 1 As shown, the utility model provides a printer paper output direction guiding device, including: a bracket 1, installed above the paper output port of the printer 100; a reversing guide mechanism 2, arranged at one end of the bracket 1, for flipping and guiding the paper conveyed by the printer 100; a reversing paper feeding mechanism 3, arranged on the bracket 1 for flipping the paper, and at the same time conveying the flipped paper in the opposite direction of the paper output direction of the printer 100, and the feeding end of the reversing paper feeding mechanism 3 is arranged on a side close to the reversing guide mechanism 2.

[0027] The reversing paper feeding mechanism 3 comprises a driving mechanism 31, a driving roller 32, a driven roller 33, a tensioning roller 34 and a conveying circular belt 35. The driving mechanism 31 is arranged on the outer side of the bracket 1, the driving roller 32 and the driven roller 33 are arranged in parallel on the bracket 1, the tensioning roller 34 and the driven roller 33 are arranged in parallel, and the two constitute a roller belt clamp for guiding the paper conveying. The paper to be reversed passes through the gap between the tensioning roller 34 and the driven roller 33. The driving mechanism 31 is connected to the driving roller 32 to drive the driving roller 32 to rotate. When the driven roller 33 rotates, since the conveying circular belt 35 is sleeved on the outer sides of the driving roller 32 and the driven roller 33, the conveying circular belt 35 conveys the paper upward, and the tensioning roller 34 clamps the paper. When the paper is completely turned over, the conveying circular belt 35 continues to convey the turned paper. The driving roller 32 , the driven roller 33 and the tensioning roller 34 are made of a relatively light nylon material. In this embodiment, the conveying round belt 35 is made of a PU material with a strong friction force.

[0028] Furthermore, a rubber ring for increasing the friction of paper transmission is provided on the outer side of the tension roller 34. The rubber ring is sleeved on the outer side of the tension roller 34 to increase the friction of paper transmission, so that the paper is not easy to slip when the paper is turned over and transported.

[0029] like Figure 4 As shown, a tension spring 36 is provided between the reversing guide mechanism 2 and the tension roller 34. The tension spring 36 can increase the tensioning force of the tension roller 34, so that the tension roller 34 always maintains a suitable spacing with the driven roller 33 during the paper conveying process, and can adaptively adjust the tension roller 34 according to the thickness of the paper to meet the flipping requirements of paper of different thicknesses, realize elastic squeezing of the paper, and avoid wrinkles of the paper during the conveying process.

[0030] Preferably, the driving mechanism 31 comprises a motor 311 and a synchronous pulley assembly 312 , the motor 311 is disposed on the bracket 1 , and the output shaft of the motor 311 is connected to the driving roller 32 via the synchronous pulley assembly 312 .

[0031] In this embodiment, the synchronous pulley assembly 312 includes a driving wheel, a driven wheel and a synchronous belt. The driving wheel is connected to the output shaft of the motor 311, and the driven wheel is connected to one end of the driving roller 32. The driving wheel and the driven wheel are driven by the synchronous belt.

[0032] Preferably, the number of the conveyor belts 35 is 3 and they are arranged at equal intervals. The conveyor belt 35 is sleeved on the driven roller 33, and the paper is turned over by the friction between the conveyor belt 35 and the paper. After the paper is turned over, it is transported to the paper tray position by the conveyor belt 35 for use by the robot.

[0033] like Figure 3 As shown, the reversing guide mechanism 2 includes an arc-shaped guide cover 21 and side plates 22 arranged on both sides of the arc-shaped guide cover 21. The arc-shaped guide cover 21 and the side plates 22 are integrally formed, and the arc-shaped guide cover 21 is bent toward the paper output direction of the paper feeding mechanism.

[0034] In this embodiment, the paper output end of the printer 100 is provided with a position sensor 101. When the paper is delivered from the output of the printer 100, the position sensor 101 senses the paper, the reversing paper feeding mechanism 3 is started, and the paper enters between the tension roller 34 and the driven roller 33. When the driven roller 33 rotates, the paper is rolled out from the gap between the tension roller 34 and the driven roller 33, and the arc-shaped guide cover 21 performs reversing guidance on the delivered paper, so that the paper is folded onto the conveyor belt 35 for reverse delivery.

[0035] The device designed by the present invention for guiding the paper output direction of the printer 100 has good stability and high automation, and can realize rapid flipping and conveying of trademarks, and is suitable for flipping and conveying printed trademarks of various commodities. A position sensor 101 is designed below the label paper outlet of the printer 100, which is used to sense that the motor 31 of the paper reversing feeding mechanism 3 automatically runs after the printer 100 outputs the label paper. After the label is printed, the label automatically enters between the tensioning roller 34 and the driven roller 33 of the running label guiding device, and the friction force of the conveying circular belt 35 flips the label to face up; after the label paper is flipped, it is sent to the label tray position, that is, the working position of the label robot, by the conveying circular belt 35, so that the robot can automatically stick it on the outer packaging of the commodity.

[0036] Obviously, the above embodiments are merely examples for the purpose of clear explanation and are not intended to limit the implementation methods. For those skilled in the art, other different forms of changes or modifications can be made based on the above description. It is not necessary and impossible to list all the implementation methods here. The obvious changes or modifications derived from these are still within the scope of protection of the invention of the utility model.
