[0026] Working principle:
[0027] When the position of the inkjet printer's print head needs to be adjusted:
[0028] Preparation stage:
[0029] First, the operator moves the base 1 to a suitable position through the threaded hole 12 so that the nozzle 10 can print the code on the equipment. Then the operator fixes the base 1 through the bolts and the threaded hole 12, and then turns on the external power supply of the first motor 2 and starts the first motor 2. The first motor 2 drives the reciprocating screw 3 to rotate, and the reciprocating screw 3 drives the cross plate 6 to move on the second slide bar 4. The cross plate 6 drives the slider 706 to move through the first slide bar 707, and the slider 706 drives the box 8 to move. The box 8 drives the nozzle 10 to move. After the nozzle 10 moves to the appropriate height, the first motor 2 stops working.
[0030] Horizontal movement stage of the nozzle:

The slider 706 drives the nozzle 10 to move in the above manner. After the nozzle 10 moves to the appropriate position, the second motor 701 stops working, and then the external power supply of the nozzle 10 is connected, and the nozzle 10 is started, and the raw material is subjected to coding processing through the nozzle 10.
[0032] Nozzle angle adjustment stage:
[0033] When it is necessary to inkjet the inclined surface of a material, the external power supply of the electric telescopic rod 901 is connected, and the electric telescopic rod 901 is started. The electric telescopic rod 901 drives the vertical rod 902 to move, and the vertical rod 902 drives the protrusion 903 to move. The protrusion 903 drives the first gear 904 to rotate through the slide slot, and the first gear 904 drives the second gear 905 to rotate, and the second gear 905 drives the third connecting rod 906 to rotate, and the third connecting rod 906 drives the nozzle 10 to rotate. When the nozzle 10 rotates to a suitable angle so that the nozzle 10 can inkjet the inclined surface, the electric telescopic rod 901 stops working. The material is then inkjet-coded by the nozzle 10.
