[0007] In some embodiments, the first support includes two L-shaped brackets, which are fixed on the main body of the inkjet printer at intervals to form a space for placing the roll material; one end of the bracket is fixed to the main body of the inkjet printer, and the other end of the bracket is provided with a hole groove, wherein the other end of the bracket is higher than the outer surface of the main body where the inkjet port is located; the two ends of the shaft are respectively fixed to the hole grooves on the two brackets.
[0008] In some embodiments, the hole groove is a long groove extending toward the printer body, and is used to adjust the height distance between the shaft and the printer body, wherein the hole groove is higher than the outer surface of the body where the inkjet port is located.
[0009] In some embodiments, the shaft body is a cylindrical shaft body with blocking members provided at both ends; at least one end of the shaft body is formed with an external thread, which is detachably connected to the blocking member located at the end.
[0010] In some embodiments, the guide component is a long strip guide groove adapted to the width of the coil, and the guide component is higher than the outer surface of the main body where the inkjet port is located.
[0011] In some embodiments, the roller includes a roller shaft and multiple rolling wheels mounted on the roller shaft, the two ends of the roller shaft are fixed to the second support, and at least two rolling wheels are respectively located at the two ends of the roller shaft; the wheel surface of the rolling wheel on the same side as the inkjet port is not lower than the height of the guide component, wherein the rolling wheel presses and pulls the roll material during the rolling process to stick it to the corresponding object.
[0012] In some embodiments, the roller is a photosensitive shaft, which is in communication with the coding assembly, wherein when the roller wheel rolls, the coding assembly prints information onto the web passing through the inkjet port.
[0013] In some embodiments, the web guiding assembly further comprises a cutter fixed on the second support, the active surface of the cutter and the inkjet port being located on the same side of the main body, wherein the roller is located between the guiding component and the cutter.
[0014] In some embodiments, the new handheld inkjet printer also includes a display screen and a handheld component; the display screen is installed on the inkjet printer body and is located on a different side of the body from the inkjet port, and the display screen is communicatively connected to the inkjet printer component, wherein a touch button is provided on the display screen for setting the printing information of the inkjet printer component; the handheld component is fixedly connected to the inkjet printer body, and a switch button is also provided on the handheld component.

[0016] The above-mentioned various embodiments of the present disclosure have the following beneficial effects: the new handheld inkjet printer of some embodiments of the present disclosure can improve the printing effect of the printed information. Specifically, the existing handheld inkjet printers usually print information directly on the object. However, due to the complex changes in the objects to be printed, especially objects that are prone to wrinkles or have no hard support. Printing directly on these objects often causes abnormal conditions such as irregular shapes, missing images, ghosting, and blurring of the printed information. This will affect the accuracy of reading the printed information in subsequent processes, resulting in errors in the correspondence between the information and the object.

The shaft in the web-mounting assembly is secured to the printer body via a first support, used to mount and support the web. The guide component and roller in the web-guide assembly are secured to the printer body via a second support. Both the shaft and guide component are located on the same side of the printer body as the inkjet port. This allows the web mounted on the shaft to move from one side of the printer body to the other, allowing it to be attached to an object. Because the inkjet port is located between the two components, the web passes through the port during movement. This allows printing information on the web, which can then be attached to an object. This eliminates the issue of incorrect printed information caused by direct printing on an object. This ensures clarity and integrity of the printed information and avoids repeated printing, improving production efficiency. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0029] The present disclosure will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and in conjunction with embodiments.
[0030] Figure 1 Schematic diagrams of the structures of some embodiments of the novel handheld inkjet printer disclosed in the present invention are shown. Figure 1 As shown, the novel inkjet printer includes a printer body 1, a web holding assembly 2, and a web guiding assembly 3. The outer surface of the printer body 1 is provided with an inkjet port K. A coding assembly (not shown) is disposed within the printer body 1, corresponding to the inkjet port K. The coding assembly can print information through the inkjet port. The coding assembly can utilize various existing coding structures, such as a nozzle and ink cartridge.
[0031] Here, as Figure 2As shown, the web mounting assembly 2 can include a first support 21 and a shaft 22. The first support 21 can be fixedly connected to one side of the printer body 1. The shaft 22 can be detachably connected to the first support 21. The shaft is used to mount the web. Specifically, the shaft 22 is fixedly connected to the printer body 1 via the first support 21.
[0032] Furthermore, if Figure 3 As shown, the web guide assembly 3 may include a second support 31, a guide component 32, and a roller 33. The second support 31 may be fixedly connected to the other side of the printer body 1. The guide component 32 and roller 33 may be fixed to the second support 31. Specifically, the guide component 32 and roller 33 are fixedly connected to the printer body 1 via the second support 31. Here, the guide component 32 is located between the inkjet port K and the roller 33. It should be noted that the guide component 32 can be used to guide the web. The roller 33 can be used to press the web to ensure that it is adhered and fixed.
[0033] pass Figure 1 As can be seen, the web securing assembly 1 and web guiding assembly 2 can be positioned on opposite sides of the printer body 1, that is, on either side of the inkjet port K. Furthermore, the shaft 22 and guide member 32 are both located on the same side of the printer body as the inkjet port K. These two assemblies allow the web mounted on the shaft to move from one side of the inkjet port to the other, passing through the port. This allows information to be printed on the web, which can then be attached to an object.
[0034] In other words, the new handheld inkjet printer disclosed herein can support printing on rolls of material, such as tape. By attaching one end of the roll to an object and securing the other end to a roll-mount assembly, the flatness and support of the roll between the two ends, particularly at the inkjet port, can be ensured. This allows information to be printed on the roll and attached to the object, rather than printed directly on the object. This eliminates the problem of abnormal printed information caused by direct printing on the object. This not only ensures the clarity and completeness of the printed information, but also avoids repeated printing, improving production efficiency.
[0035] It should be noted that the structures of the above-mentioned components can be set according to actual conditions. As an example, in order to avoid affecting the thickness of the coil, the first support may include two L-shaped brackets 21, and the two brackets may be fixed on the inkjet printer body 1 at intervals, thereby forming a space for placing the coil. Here, one end of the bracket 21 may be fixed to the inkjet printer body 1, and the other end of the bracket 21 may be provided with a hole C. The two ends of the shaft 22 may be fixed to the hole C on the two brackets, respectively. It is understandable that the coil is usually hollow and has a certain thickness. Therefore, in order to ensure the smooth movement of the coil during use, Figure 2 As can be seen from the figure, the other end of the bracket 21 where the hole C is provided can be higher than the outer surface of the main body where the ink jet port K is located.
[0036] As an example, the two brackets 21 can be fixed to the printer body 1 separately; they can also be fixed to the printer body 1 via a fixing plate. For example, the first bracket can be a one-piece structure, with the two brackets located at either end of the fixing plate. This can improve installation efficiency. For another example, to meet the needs of using different types of coils, the two brackets can be connected to the fixing plate by a flexible connection. As an example, the connecting plate can be formed with multiple slots. At the same time, a connector that matches the slots can be formed on one end of the bracket to which it is connected.
[0037] In some embodiments, the above-mentioned hole groove C can be an open groove. At the same time, the shaft body 22 can be a shaft body with a thick middle and thin ends. This can facilitate the quick disassembly and assembly of the shaft body and the coil. Optionally, as Figure 2 As shown, the above-mentioned hole groove C can be a long groove extending in the direction close to the main body of the inkjet printer. The long groove here can be a straight groove or a porous groove. In this way, the height distance between the shaft and the main body of the inkjet printer can be adjusted to meet the use requirements of different types of coils. And as the thickness of the coil changes during use, the position of the coil can be adjusted to make the coil as close to the inkjet port as possible to ensure the printing effect. In addition, the hole groove can be higher than the outer surface of the main body where the inkjet port is located to reduce or avoid the possibility of contact friction between the coil and the main body of the inkjet printer, thereby ensuring the smooth movement of the coil and further ensuring the printing effect.
[0038] It should be noted that the coil (especially the reel for winding the coil) is usually cylindrical. Therefore, in some embodiments, in order to ensure smooth rotation of the coil, the shaft 22 can be a cylindrical shaft. In addition, in order to make the coil more firmly fixed, such as Figure 2 As shown, both ends of the shaft body 22 may be provided with blocking members. Furthermore, to facilitate the installation of the coiled material, at least one end of the shaft body 22 may be formed with an external thread, i.e., at least one end may be a screw, so that the blocking member located at that end can be detachably connected.
[0039] like Figure 2 In the example shown, the stopper at one end of the shaft can be an integral nut, while the stopper at the other end can be a hand nut. In this case, after the coil is placed on the shaft, the shaft can be threaded through the slots in the two brackets. After adjusting the shaft's position, the hand nut can be tightened onto the threaded end until it is securely fastened to the two brackets.
[0040] It is understood that the structures of the various components in the coil guide assembly can also be configured according to actual needs. In some embodiments, the second support 31 can be a U-shaped structure. The guide component 32 can be located in the middle of the structure. The roller 33 can be fixed to both ends of the opening in the structure. As an example, the guide component can be a C-shaped groove arranged opposite the opening end. The roller can include two rolling wheels, respectively fixed to both ends of the second support opening.
[0041] Alternatively, as Figure 3 As shown, the guide member 32 can be an elongated guide groove adapted to the width of the web. The roller 33 can include a roller shaft and multiple rolling wheels mounted on the roller shaft. The roller shaft can be spindle-shaped. The number of rolling wheels can be customized, such as two or three. The two ends of the roller shaft can be fixed to the second support, with at least two rolling wheels located at each end of the roller shaft. For example, if there are three rolling wheels, they can be located at both ends and in the middle of the roller shaft, which helps to improve the smoothness of the web during pasting.
[0042] It's important to note that to guide and press the web, the guide component must also be higher than the outer surface of the main body where the inkjet port is located. Furthermore, the roller surface on the same side of the roller as the inkjet port is typically at least as high as the guide component. This allows the roller to press and pull the web as it rolls, securing it to the desired object. In other words, as the roller presses and rotates, it pulls the web.
[0043] Furthermore, in order to achieve printing control of the inkjet coding component, the above-mentioned roller can be a photosensitive shaft, which is communicatively connected to the inkjet coding component. In this way, when the roller rolls, it can trigger the roller to generate a signal, so that the inkjet coding component prints information on the web passing through the inkjet port. In this way, automatic control of information printing can be achieved. It should be noted that the specific structure and triggering method of the photosensitive shaft are also not limited. As an example, optical elements can be provided at both ends of the roller, one is a light-emitting element and the other is a light-receiving element. In addition, an annular baffle can be provided between the two elements inside the roller. Among them, at least one light-transmitting groove can be provided on the annular baffle. In this way, when the roller rotates, the annular baffle will also rotate with it. When the light-transmitting groove rotates between the two elements, the light path of the optical element can be opened to generate a signal.
[0044] In some embodiments, to facilitate cutting of the roll, as Figure 3 As shown, the web guide assembly may also include a cutter 34. The cutter 34 is also fixed to the second support 31. For example, the second support may be provided with a cutter groove for accommodating the cutter. The roller 33 is located between the guide member 32 and the cutter 34. To achieve the desired web cutting operation, the cutter's active surface is typically located on the same side of the main body as the inkjet port K. When cutting the web, the printer can be manually tilted 45°, with the shaft end tilted upward relative to the cutter end, pressing the cutter end downward.
[0045] From the above description, it can be seen that the new handheld inkjet printer disclosed in the present invention can be used for printing on roll materials such as tapes by setting a roll material fixing component and a roll material guiding component, and has the functions of fastening, pasting and cutting roll materials. Figure 4 As shown in the figure, the roll passes through the inkjet port from left to right, passes through the right guide component and the roller (photosensitive shaft), and then sticks the roll to the substrate. The roller presses and pulls the roll, and the roller (photosensitive shaft) rotates to trigger the inkjet, thereby printing the printing information on the back of the roll. Figure 5 As shown. Finally, the roll is cut by a cutter. Rollers press the roll, completely adhering it to the substrate. This allows for indirect labeling of irregularly shaped items that cannot be printed on by printing tape or other roll materials.
[0046] In addition, in order to facilitate the operation of the inkjet printer, the new handheld inkjet printer can also include a display screen (not shown in the figure) and a handheld component 4. Here, the display screen can be installed on the main body of the inkjet printer, and the inkjet port is located on a different side of the main body to avoid interference with the printing process. At the same time, the display screen is connected to the inkjet component. Touch buttons are provided on the display screen for setting the printing information of the inkjet component. The handheld component 4 can also be fixedly connected to the main body of the inkjet printer. For example Figure 1 As shown, the printer body can be located at the top of the printer, and the handheld unit can be located at the bottom. Furthermore, the handheld unit is provided with an on / off button. Optionally, the handheld unit can also be provided with a control button. When the roller presses against the web, the control button can be triggered to start printing information. The printer can also be operated to move in a certain direction to affix the web with the printed information to an object.
[0047] It is understood that the materials of the aforementioned components are not limited. As an example, the first support, the second support, and the roller can be made of a plastic material, such as a terpolymer (ABS, Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene). The shaft and the hand nut can be made of nylon. The guide component and the cutter can be made of stainless steel.
