Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of inkjet printers, and more specifically, to an inkjet printer with a paper position adjustment mechanism. Background Art

[0002] An inkjet printer is an industrial marking device primarily used to print production date, batch number, barcode, QR code, text, graphics, and other information on the surfaces of various materials. Currently, in the processing of pharmaceutical packaging products, it is usually necessary to first use an inkjet printer to spray the paper with the drug monitoring code before sending it to a printer to print the corresponding pattern. However, in actual operation, there are still some problems. For example, in the pursuit of improving operational fluidity and production efficiency, the ideal approach is to seamlessly connect the tray to the feed structure of the printer after the paper has been processed by the inkjet printer and is in the center of the tray for the next step. However, due to design and structural limitations, some existing types of inkjet printers are unable to automatically align the center of the paper stack, thereby adding an additional manual operation step, requiring manual adjustment of the paper stack to the center of the tray. The intervention of this non-automated step not only interrupts the originally coherent operation process, but also leads to unnecessary loss of production efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0003] In order to overcome the above-mentioned defects of the prior art, the utility model provides an inkjet printer with a paper position adjustment mechanism to solve the problem that some existing categories of inkjet printers in the prior art cannot automatically achieve the center alignment of paper piles due to design and structural limitations, thereby adding additional manual operation links and affecting production efficiency.

[0004] In order to solve the above technical problems, the present invention provides the following technical solutions: a printer with a paper position adjustment mechanism, comprising

[0005] The inkjet printer body has a drive motor fixedly mounted on the side of the inkjet printer body, and a transmission lifting assembly is fixedly sleeved on the output end of the drive motor;

[0006] A lifting base plate, the top of the side of the lifting base plate is fixedly installed with the bottom end of the transmission lifting assembly, a tray is placed on the top of the lifting base plate, and the middle parts of the three sides of the lifting base plate away from the middle part of the inkjet printer body are detachably installed with detachable adjustment components;

[0007] The detachable adjustable component includes an upper clamping block, a lower clamping block, and a connecting column. The bottom surface of the bottom end of the upper clamping block fits with the outer surface of the middle part of the side edge of the lifting base plate, and the top surface of the top end of the lower clamping block fits with the outer surface of the middle part of the side edge of the lifting base plate. The top end of the upper clamping block is provided with an electric push rod 1, and the side end of the electric push rod 1 is fixedly installed with a push plate. The upper and lower ends of the connecting column are fixedly connected with springs, and the ends of the two springs away from the connecting column are fixedly connected to the inner surfaces of the upper clamping block and the lower clamping block respectively. Fastening mechanisms are provided on both sides of the upper clamping block and the lower clamping block.

[0008] Among them, it also includes a cleaning component and a limit rod. The cleaning component is arranged at the bottom end of the middle part of the inkjet printer body. The upper and lower ends of the limit rod are fixedly installed on the outer surface of the middle part of the inkjet printer body. The outer surface of the limit rod is slidably installed on the inner wall of the side of the lifting base away from the bottom end of the transmission lifting component.

[0009] Among them, the transmission lifting assembly includes a chain and a sprocket. The chain is provided with multiple sections, and there are several sprockets. The outsides of several sprockets are engaged with the chain, and the middle part of one of the sprockets is fixedly connected to the output end of the drive motor, and the remaining sprockets are connected through chain transmission.

[0010] The fastening mechanism includes a fixed block and a threaded rod. The outer surface of the fixed block is fixedly installed with the side edge of the top of the upper clamping block. The top of the threaded rod is fixedly installed with a rocker. The bottom end of the threaded rod is fixedly installed with a gasket. The outer surface of the threaded rod is threadedly connected to the inner surface of the fixed block, and the bottom of the gasket fits with the surface of the lifting base plate.

[0011] Among them, the cleaning component includes two electric push rods, a fixed rod, and a roller brush. There are two electric push rods. The outer surfaces of the two electric push rods are fixedly connected to the inner surface of the bottom end of the middle part of the inkjet printer body. There are also two groups of fixed rods. One end of the two fixed rods is fixedly installed with the side ends of the two electric push rods, and the inner surface of the other end is rotatably installed with the outer surfaces of both ends of the roller brush. The outer surface of the middle part of the roller brush is movably installed with the outer surface of the tray.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0013] In the above scheme, by setting structures such as detachable adjustment components, during the actual use of the inkjet printer body, the driving motor can be controlled to make the lifting base plate connected by the transmission lifting component move upward a certain distance along the outer surface of the limit rod. After that, the lower clamping block is moved in the direction away from the upper clamping block, and the connecting column is slidably installed along the interior of the upper and lower clamping blocks. At the same time, the springs connected at both ends are stretched, and then the bottom surface of the upper clamping block is pressed against the side edge of the lifting base plate. The spring that loses the stretching effect drives the top surface of the lower clamping block to contact the side edge of the lifting base plate through the elastic reset effect. The detachable adjustment component is installed on the side of the lifting base plate and further fixed by the fastening mechanism. The same treatment is performed on the three detachable adjustment components in turn. After that, the electric push rod provided on the top of the upper clamping block can be controlled to extend or contract to push the push plate to move, and then push the tray to adjust its position on the top of the lifting base plate. The above structure is used to adjust the position of the tray, so that the paper coded by the inkjet printer body can be relatively in the middle position of the tray during the paper collection process, thereby achieving the centering requirement of the paper pile, improving the practicability of the device, and improving the subsequent operation efficiency.

[0014] In the above scheme, by setting up structures such as a cleaning component, before the paper collection operation of the inkjet printer body, the staff places the tray on the top of the lifting base plate which is initially at the bottom, and controls the extension of the electric push rod 2, pushing the connected fixed rod to slide outward along the inner wall of the bottom end of the middle part of the inkjet printer body, and the roller brush which is rotatably sleeved on the inner surface of the end of the fixed rod away from the electric push rod 2 moves laterally and rolls along the upper surface of the tray, and uses the bristles on it to clean the dust on the top surface of the tray and the surface of the gap, thereby completing the cleaning of the tray through the cleaning component, thereby reducing the contamination of the paper in contact with the tray surface during the subsequent paper collection operation, and reducing the adverse phenomena such as imprinting of the bottom paper pile caused by particulate matter.

[0029] By setting up a fastening mechanism 66 and utilizing the tensile force of the spring 65, the upper clamping block 60 and the lower clamping block 61 are clamped on the side edge of the lifting base plate 4. Then, the staff can rotate the rocker 662 in sequence to drive the threaded rod 661 connected to the bottom end to move downward along the inner surface of the threaded fixed block 660 until the gasket 663 connected to the bottom end abuts against the surface of the lifting base plate 4, further fixing the detachable adjustable component 6 on the side edge of the lifting base plate 4 and facilitating disassembly to remove the tray 5.

The outer surface of the middle part of the roller brush 72 is movably installed with the outer surface of the tray 5.

[0031] The working process of this utility model is as follows:

[0032] Before the inkjet printer body 1 collects paper, the staff places the tray 5 on the top of the lifting base plate 4 which is initially at the bottom, and controls the electric push rod 2 70 to extend, pushing the connected fixed rod 71 to slide outward along the inner wall of the bottom end of the middle part of the inkjet printer body 1, and the roller brush 72 which is rotatably sleeved with the inner surface of the end of the fixed rod 71 away from the electric push rod 2 70 moves laterally and rolls along the upper surface of the tray 5, using the bristles thereon to clean the dust on the top surface of the tray 5 and the surface of the gap, thereby completing the cleaning of the tray 5 through the cleaning component 7, thereby reducing the contamination of the paper in contact with the surface of the tray 5 during the subsequent paper collection operation, and reducing the undesirable phenomenon such as the embossing of the bottom paper pile caused by particulate matter;

[0033] During the actual use of the printer body 1, the driving motor 2 can be controlled to make the lifting base plate 4 connected through the transmission lifting assembly 3 move upward a certain distance along the outer surface of the limit rod 8. Then, the lower clamping block 61 is moved in the direction away from the upper clamping block 60, and the connecting column 64 is slidably installed along the inner part of the upper clamping block 60 and the lower clamping block 61.

The same treatment is performed on the three detachable adjustment components 6 in turn. After that, the electric push rod 62 set on the top of the upper clamping block 60 can be controlled to extend or contract, pushing the push plate 63 to move, and then pushing the tray 5 to adjust the position on the top of the lifting base plate 4. Using the above structure, the position of the tray 5 is adjusted, so that the paper that has been coded by the inkjet printer body 1 can be relatively located in the middle position of the tray 5 during the paper collection process, thereby achieving the centering requirement of the paper pile, improving the practicality of the device, and improving the subsequent operation efficiency.
