[0034] With the development of technology and the popularization of office automation, automated printing devices play an increasingly important role in daily office work and production and life. In order to meet the growing demands for efficient production and high-quality output, automated printing devices not only need to have fast printing capabilities, but also need to ensure that the output documents are neat and consistent. How to maintain the flatness of the printing surface is a key technical problem.

[0035] In the related art, an opened multi-page printout has a thick side and a thin side, and there is a height difference between the two sides. The traditional manual adjustment method is not only time-consuming and laborious, but also prone to errors. Especially when dealing with a large number of documents, the difficulty and error rate of manual adjustment will increase. In addition, for some special-purpose documents, such as certificates, contracts, or brochures, etc., the flatness of the printing surface of the multi-page printout directly affects the appearance quality and printing quality of the final product.

[0036] For this reason, asFigures 1 to 3 As shown, the flattening structure proposed by the utility model includes a base 100 and a flattening assembly 200 connected to the base 100, wherein the flattening assembly 200 includes a driving component 210 and a flattening component 220, and the driving component 210 is connected to and drives the flattening component 220 to move linearly. Specifically, the flattening component 220 includes a first flat plate 221 and a second flat plate 222, the first flat plate 221 is used to push against the thick side of the multi-page printed material, and the second flat plate 222 is used to push against the thin side of the multi-page printed material, and the second flat plate 222 is installed on the first flat plate 221 in a floating manner along the linear driving direction of the driving component 210. Under the drive of the driving component 210, the first flat plate 221 and the second flat plate 222 can drive the printing surfaces of the thin side and the thick side to be flush. It should be noted that the driving component 210 can accurately control the linear movement of the flattening component 220, avoiding errors and inconsistencies that may be caused by manual adjustment; wherein, the second flattening plate 222 floats relative to the first flattening plate 221, ensuring that the thin side and the thick side of the multi-page print are pushed up to the same plane for smooth bonding, making the printing surfaces of the thin side and the thick side flush, thereby improving the appearance quality and printing quality of the final document. For example, the thick side and the thin side are pushed up to the printing plane, the copying plane or the data recognition detection plane, which not only simplifies the operation steps, but also improves the automation degree of the adjustment process, reduces the requirements for the skills of the operator, and enables the technical solution to be widely used in various automated printing equipment that require precise adjustment of the page position, greatly improving the work efficiency and the quality of the finished document.

[0037] In some applications, after multiple pages of printed matter are spread out and placed on a horizontal plane with the print surface facing downward, the driving component pushes down the flattening component (not shown in the figure), so that the first pushing plate and the second pushing plate respectively press down the thick side and the thin side of the spread multiple pages of printed matter, so that the thin side and the thick side are flatly attached to the horizontal print surface; in some applications, multiple pages of printed matter are spread out and placed on a vertical plane, for example, the multiple pages of printed matter are pressed by a pressing block, or the corners of the spread multiple pages of printed matter are adhered to with an adhesive tape, and then the driving component pushes the flattening component (not shown in the figure) from the side away from the print surface, so that the first pushing plate and the second pushing plate respectively press down the thick side and the thin side of the spread multiple pages of printed matter, so that the thin side and the thick side are flatly attached to the vertical print surface.

[0038] Refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2In some embodiments of the present invention, the second pushing plate 222 is located above the first pushing plate 221. At this time, the top surface height of the second pushing plate 222 is higher than the top surface height of the first pushing plate 221. In this regard, the first pushing plate 221 and the second pushing plate 222 can respectively support the thick side and the thin side of the multi-page printed material, further integrating the supporting and positioning functions of the multi-page printed material. Then, the driving component 210 drives the first pushing plate 221 to move in the vertical direction. For example, when the driving component 210 pushes the flattening component 220 upward, since the second pushing plate 222 can float vertically, the thick side and the thin side can be pushed to the same horizontal plane.

[0039] In some embodiments of the present invention, a guide component is provided between the first push plate 221 and the second push plate 222. The guide component is used to guide the movement of the second push plate 222, which can ensure the stability and accuracy of the second push plate 222 during the movement, reduce the quality problems caused by unstable movement, and thus improve the working accuracy of the entire push plate structure. Common guide components include a guide rail and a slider combination (not shown in the figure). Specifically, in some embodiments of the present invention, refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 The guide component includes a guide hole 22101 and a guide column 2221. The guide hole 22101 penetrates the end surface of the first push plate 221. The guide column 2221 is fixedly connected to the second push plate 222. The guide column 2221 slides in the guide hole 22101 along the vertical direction. Thus, the working mechanism of the guide component is clarified, so that the vertical movement of the second push plate 222 is more reliable, the risk of lateral deviation is reduced, and the stability and service life of the structure are improved. Further, the guide column 2221 is sleeved with a compression spring 2222, and the two ends of the compression spring 2222 press the first push plate 221 and the second push plate 222 respectively. On the one hand, the setting of the compression spring 2222 enables the second push plate 222 to float in the vertical direction. On the other hand, the setting of the compression spring 2222 can provide a certain buffering effect during the up and down movement of the second push plate 222, better support the thin side, and under the push of the driving component 210, enable the thin side to fit the horizontal surface more smoothly. In addition, there are multiple guide posts 2221, which are arranged at intervals along the length direction of the second push plate 222. There are multiple guide holes 22101 and compression springs 2222, and the guide holes 22101, compression springs 2222 and compression springs 2222 are arranged one by one. The multi-point support design makes the second push plate 222 more balanced during movement, avoiding tilting or jamming caused by uneven force at a single point, and multiple compression springs 2222 also enhance the anti-interference ability of the system.

[0040] In addition to using a straight rod-shaped guide post 2221 to implement the floating installation structure of the second push plate 222 and the first push plate 221, in some other embodiments of the present invention, a link mechanism can also be adopted between the second push plate and the first push plate to implement the floating installation structure of the second push plate (not shown in the figure). For example, the second push plate, the link, and the first push plate form a parallelogram link structure. Thus, while the second push plate moves up and down relative to the first push plate, a certain horizontal displacement will also occur. In addition, an elastic member is connected and arranged to drive the second push plate to rotate and reset. For example, the elastic member is a spring or a torsion spring. When the second push plate supports the thin side, the gravity of the thin side overcomes the elastic force of the elastic member, which can drive the second push plate to float down; when the thin side leaves the second push plate, the elastic member drives the second push plate to rotate and reset.

[0041] Referring again to Figures 1 to 3 , in some embodiments of the present invention, the driving component 210 includes a driving motor 211 and a transmission cam 212. The driving motor 211 is connected to and drives the transmission cam 212 to rotate. The transmission cam 212 is in transmission connection with the first push plate 221 and can push the first push plate 221 to move in the vertical direction. By using a motor and a cam mechanism as the driving source, the lifting action of the first push plate 221 can be accurately controlled, facilitating the realization of automated operation, reducing the need for manual intervention, and improving work efficiency. Similar to the linear guiding structure provided between the second push plate 222 and the first push plate 221, a linear guiding structure is also provided between the first push plate 221 and the base 100. Specifically, the base 100 is provided with a vertically arranged guide rail 110, and the first push plate 221 is fixedly connected with a slider 2211. The slider 2211 is slidably arranged on the guide rail 110. The cooperation of the guide rail 110 and the slider 2211 provides reliable guidance for the lifting of the first push plate 221, ensuring the linearity and stability of the movement, reducing wear and noise, and extending the service life of the equipment. In some embodiments, the transmission cam and the first push plate are in lifting transmission by abutting and pushing on the horizontal plane (not shown in the figure). In some embodiments of the present invention, referring again to Figure 2, a transmission wheel 2212 is rotatably connected to the first pushing plate 221, and the transmission cam 212 is in contact with and drives the transmission wheel 2212. It is easy to understand that the transmission wheel 2212 can rotate, and the peripheral wall of the transmission wheel 2212 is in contact with and drives the peripheral wall of the transmission cam 212. Compared with the pushing plane of the transmission cam 212, the power transmission path of the transmission cam 212 is optimized, the contact position with the transmission wheel 2212 remains constant, the contact is smoother, the energy loss is reduced, and the mechanical efficiency is improved. Further, a return spring 120 is provided on the base 100. One end of the return spring 120 is connected to the base 100, and the other end is connected to the first pushing plate 221 to drive the first pushing plate 221 to move downward, so that the first pushing plate 221 can automatically return to the initial position after completing one upward movement, without the need for an additional power device for reset operation, saving energy and simplifying the system design. It is easy to understand that in some other embodiments, in addition to using the return spring 120 to reset the first pushing plate 221, the first pushing plate can be reset downward by its own gravity (not shown in the figure), or a closed contact transmission structure is adopted between the transmission cam and the first pushing plate, and the transmission cam can drive the first pushing plate to move upward and downward respectively when it rotates one week (not shown in the figure).

[0042] The automatic printing device according to the embodiment of the present invention includes a flattening structure according to the embodiment of the present invention. The automatic printing device having the above beneficial effects can effectively solve the flatness problem during multi-page document printing, improve the printing quality and efficiency, and is particularly suitable for the production of documents that require high-precision alignment, such as certificates and contracts.

[0043] The other components and operations of the automatic printing device according to the embodiment of the present invention are known to those of ordinary skill in the art and will not be described in detail here.

[0044] The above has described the embodiments of the present invention in detail with reference to the drawings, but the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. Various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention within the knowledge scope of those of ordinary skill in the art.
