Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of automatic carbon ribbon assembly, in particular to a carbon ribbon transfer mechanism. Background Art

[0002] Carbon ribbon is a critical printing consumable, suitable for a variety of label printing scenarios requiring durability and flexibility. The carbon ribbon assembly industry has long relied on manual assembly and handling, but manual assembly of carbon ribbons can be inconsistent in quality, costly, and labor-intensive.

[0003] Therefore, it is very necessary to develop a tightening mechanism that can complete automatic carbon ribbon transfer, which can not only reduce the workload of employees, but also improve production efficiency while ensuring high product quality. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of the problems existing in the prior art, the utility model proposes a carbon ribbon transfer mechanism which saves manpower and has high production efficiency.

[0005] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, a carbon ribbon transfer mechanism is proposed, including a supporting base and a side-push connecting plate, a telescopic cylinder is provided on the supporting base, a carrier plate is mounted on the telescopic cylinder, a belt transfer device is provided on the carrier plate, a tightening shaft is provided at the output end of the belt transfer device, a side-push connecting plate is provided, the axis of the side-push shaft is coaxial with the axis of the tightening shaft, the tightening shaft approaches or moves away from the side-push shaft with the movement of the telescopic cylinder, when the product is transferred, the side-push shaft and the tightening shaft are respectively inserted from both sides of the product's recoverer shaft hole, and the recoverer shaft hole is tensioned and limited by the tightening shaft, and the belt transfer device is started to cause the tightening shaft to transfer the product.

[0006] Based on the above, the telescopic cylinder controls the insertion and extraction of the tightening shaft into and out of the recycler shaft hole, and the tightening shaft is used to tension and limit the recycler shaft hole. Simultaneously, the side thrust shaft is inserted into the recycler shaft hole for auxiliary limiting. Subsequently, the ribbon transfer device is activated, which drives the tightening shaft to rotate, tightening the carbon ribbon. After the ribbon transfer is completed, the tightening shaft is released from the recycler shaft hole and reset, and the product then flows into the next process mechanism. The entire operation process is automated, overcoming the labor intensity of personnel, realizing unmanned operation, ensuring product yield, and improving production efficiency.

[0007] Furthermore, the belt turning device includes a servo motor and a clamping cylinder, the tightening shaft is arranged at the output end of the clamping cylinder, a first synchronous wheel is arranged on the output shaft of the servo motor, and a second synchronous wheel is arranged at the non-output end of the clamping cylinder, and the first synchronous wheel and the second synchronous wheel are connected by a synchronous belt.

[0008] Based on the above, the use of the synchronous belt in conjunction with the synchronous wheel for transmission can make the servo motor more stable during the transmission process, and the transmission of the rotation speed is also more accurate.

[0009] Furthermore, the output end of the telescopic cylinder is connected to an L-shaped push plate, a carrier plate is fixedly mounted on the L-shaped push plate, a motor mounting plate and a clamping cylinder mounting plate are provided on the carrier plate, the servo motor is fixedly mounted on the motor mounting plate, a bearing is provided on the clamping cylinder mounting plate, and the clamping cylinder is rotatably engaged with the clamping cylinder mounting plate through the bearing.

[0010] Based on the above, the motor mounting plate and the fixture mounting plate respectively mount the servo motor and the clamping cylinder on the carrier plate, and adjust the servo motor and the clamping cylinder to the same height to make the transmission more stable and smooth.

[0011] Furthermore, a clamping groove is provided at the output end of the clamping cylinder, and the tightening shaft slides in cooperation with the clamping groove. The tightening shaft is composed of two half-shafts with the same structure and symmetrically arranged. The clamping cylinder adjusts the gap between the half-shafts so that the tightening shaft is tensioned to adapt to the recoverer shaft hole.

[0012] Based on the above, the clamping cylinder pushes the half shaft to move on the clamping slot, thereby adjusting the width of the tightening shaft.

[0013] Furthermore, a guide rail is provided on the upper surface of the telescopic cylinder, and the guide rail is slidably engaged with the guide groove at the lower end of the L-shaped push plate.

[0014] Based on the above, the guide rail and the guide groove are slidably matched, so that the carrier plate can slide more stably, thereby increasing the stability of the equipment during operation.

[0015] Furthermore, the side thrust connecting plate is fixed on an external device, a side thrust cylinder is fixedly provided on the side thrust connecting plate, an output end of the side thrust cylinder is fixedly connected to a connecting block, and the side thrust shaft is installed at the lower end of the connecting block.

[0016] Based on the above, according to the different heights of different products, different connecting plates can be replaced to adjust the height of the side thrust shaft to adapt to different products.

Machine 9 and clamping cylinder 10, the output end of the clamping cylinder 10 is provided with a tightening shaft 5, the side thrust connecting plate 2 is provided with a side thrust cylinder 22, the output end of the side thrust cylinder 22 is provided with a side thrust shaft 6, the side thrust shaft 6 and the center line of the tightening shaft 5 are on the same straight line, when the product 7 is transferred, the side thrust shaft 6 and the tightening shaft 5 are respectively inserted from both sides of the recoverer shaft hole 8 of the product 7, and the tightening shaft 5 is used to tension and limit the recoverer shaft hole 8, and the servo motor 9 is started to make the tightening shaft 5 transfer the product 7.

[0026] like Figure 3 As shown, the servo motor 9 and the clamping cylinder 10 are mounted on the carrier plate 14 via a motor mounting plate 15 and a clamping cylinder mounting plate 16, respectively. The servo motor 9 is fixed to the motor mounting plate 15 via bolts, and the clamping cylinder mounting plate 16 is provided with a bearing 17. The clamping cylinder 10 rotates in conjunction with the clamping cylinder mounting plate 16 via the bearing 17. Synchronous pulleys 11 are provided on the output shaft of the servo motor 9 and the non-output end of the clamping cylinder 10. The synchronous pulleys 11 are connected to each other through a synchronous belt 12. The synchronous pulley 11 of the servo motor 9 and the synchronous pulley 11 on the clamping cylinder 10 are arranged at the same horizontal height to ensure that the synchronous belt 12 is more stable during transmission.

[0027] like Figure 5 As shown, the side thrust connecting plate 2 is fixed to an external device, which is not shown in the figure. The output end of the side thrust cylinder 22 is provided with a connecting block 23, and the side thrust shaft 6 is installed at the lower end of the connecting block 23.
