Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a single-pass printer component that is movable along with a pattern and is applied to a printer. Background Art

[0002] Currently, the market is increasingly crowded with small-batch orders, scattered orders, missed orders, and personalized orders. Existing high-speed corrugated digital printers are expensive. While mid-speed corrugated digital printers have seen some price reductions, they offer smaller print widths, are generally limited to vertical paper feed, and are inefficient. They also lack the ability to interface directly with subsequent slotting equipment. While relatively inexpensive, scanning corrugated printers are limited in production volume, making them prohibitively expensive for most smaller manufacturers on a budget.

[0003] The print area corresponding to the print heads of traditional printers is fixed, that is, the width of the image on the cardboard to be printed is also fixed. If the printing width needs to be increased, the overall structure of the printer needs to be changed, the number of print heads needs to be increased, and the area covered by the print heads needs to be widened, which significantly increases the overall printing cost.

[0004] This has led to the need to develop a single-pass horizontal feeding corrugated paper digital printer that can move with the pattern and has lower cost, higher production capacity, and can meet the needs of small manufacturers. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to overcome the defects of the prior art and provide a single-pass printer component that is movable with a pattern, which can make the printer as a whole have the beneficial effects of low cost and high production capacity.

[0007] The utility model provides a single-pass printer component that is movable along with a pattern, which is installed on a printer and comprises a lifting frame, an X-axis movable frame and a driving device;

[0008] The lifting frame is mounted on the printer and is arranged horizontally, and linear guide rails are respectively provided on the lower sides of the beams on opposite sides of the lifting frame;

[0009] The X-axis movable frame is located at the lower side of the lifting frame, and a plurality of printing nozzles are provided at the lower side of the X-axis movable frame; a plurality of sliders are respectively provided on the upper sides of the beams on opposite sides of the X-axis movable frame, and the sliders can move on the linear guide rails;

[0010] The driving device is arranged on the lifting frame, and the driving device includes a servo motor and an X-axis screw; the X-axis screw is arranged horizontally, and the X-axis screw is connected to the X-axis movable frame through a nut fixing seat; the servo motor drives the X-axis screw to move, and drives the X-axis movable frame to move through the nut fixing seat, thereby realizing the horizontal movement of the print head.

[0011] Furthermore, an X-axis nut is provided on the nut fixing seat, and the X-axis nut is connected to the X-axis screw rod.

[0012] Furthermore, it also includes a screw rod support, which is fixed on the lifting frame. The opposite sides of the screw rod support are a fixed side and a supporting side, respectively. The fixed side is arranged close to the servo motor, and the supporting side is arranged away from the servo motor. The X-axis screw is located between the fixed side and the supporting side.

[0013] Furthermore, a limit block is provided on the screw rod support, and the limit block is provided close to the supporting side thereof.

[0014] Furthermore, the driving device also includes a coupling and a reducer, the servo motor is connected to the reducer, the reducer is connected to the coupling, and the coupling is connected to the X-axis screw rod.

[0015] The utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0016] Specifically, the print area corresponding to the print heads of traditional printers is fixed, that is, the width of the image on the cardboard to be printed is also fixed. If the print width needs to be increased, the overall structure of the printer needs to be changed, the number of print heads needs to be increased, and the area covered by the print heads needs to be widened, which significantly increases the overall printing cost.

[0017] The pattern-movable single-pass printer component provided by the present invention realizes the horizontal movement of the print head by adding an X-axis movable frame, wherein the servo motor drives the X-axis lead screw to move, and then the nut fixing seat drives the X-axis movable frame to move, thereby increasing the width of the printing area, that is, expanding the printing area covered by the print head, without having to separately increase the number of print heads and change the overall structure of the printer, and can make the printer as a whole have the beneficial effects of low cost and high production capacity.

The lifting frame 1 is used to drive the print heads to move in the vertical direction, and the X-axis movable frame 2 can drive the print heads to move in the horizontal direction.

[0026] like Figure 1 As shown, the driving device is arranged on the lifting frame 1, and the driving device includes a servo motor 13 and an X-axis screw 9; the X-axis screw 9 is arranged horizontally, and the X-axis screw 9 is connected to the X-axis movable frame 2 via a nut fixing seat 5; the servo motor 13 drives the X-axis screw 9 to move, and drives the X-axis movable frame 2 to move through the nut fixing seat 5, thereby realizing the horizontal movement of the print head. Furthermore, the driving device also includes a coupling 11 and a reducer 12, the servo motor 13 is connected to the reducer 12, the reducer 12 is connected to the coupling 11, and the coupling 11 is connected to the X-axis screw 9. The driving device is controlled by the control system of the printer itself. After the servo motor 13 is running, it drives the X-axis screw 9 to move through the reducer 12 and the coupling 11, and then drives the X-axis movable frame 2 fixed on the X-axis screw 9 to move horizontally.

[0027] In this preferred embodiment, an X-axis nut 10 is provided on the nut fixing seat 5, and the X-axis nut 10 is connected to the X-axis screw rod 9. The movement of the X-axis screw rod 9 drives the X-axis nut 10 to move, and then the nut fixing seat 5 moves, thereby realizing the horizontal movement of the X-axis movable frame 2, that is, realizing the horizontal movement of the print head, thereby increasing the width of its printing on the cardboard.

[0028] like Figure 1As shown, further, a screw support is included, which is fixed to the lifting frame 1. The opposite sides of the screw support are a fixed side 6 and a support side 7, respectively. The fixed side 6 is arranged close to the servo motor 13, and the support side 7 is arranged away from the servo motor 13. The X-axis screw 9 is located between the fixed side 6 and the support side 7. A limit block 8 is provided on the screw support, and the limit block 8 is arranged close to the support side 7, which is used to limit the nut fixing seat 5, that is, to limit the moving distance range of the X-axis moving frame 2.

[0029] In summary, the pattern-movable single-PASS printer component provided by the present invention realizes the horizontal movement of the print head by adding an X-axis moving frame, and the servo motor 13 drives the X-axis screw 9 to move, and then drives the X-axis moving frame to move through the nut fixing seat 5, so as to increase the width of the printing area, that is, expand the printing area covered by the print head, without having to increase the number of print heads separately and change the overall structure of the printer, so that the overall printer has the beneficial effects of low cost and high production capacity.

[0030] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention.
