Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of coding machines, in particular to a step-by-step automatic coding mechanism. Background Art

[0002] With the continuous improvement of industrial automation, the demand for marking and coding on production lines is also increasing. In particular, in industries such as food, pharmaceuticals, and daily chemicals, accurate information printing is required on each packaging unit to ensure product traceability and safety. Although traditional inkjet printing is widely used, it has some practical problems, such as significant environmental impact on print quality, high maintenance costs, and the complexity of ink changes.

[0003] To address these issues, ribbon printers emerged. Using thermal transfer technology, ribbon printers heat specific areas of a ribbon to create the desired characters or patterns. These printers offer clear printing, strong durability, and easy maintenance. However, in practice, existing ribbon printers still face challenges, such as uneven tape travel. At high speeds, the lack of effective control mechanisms can lead to unstable tape travel, resulting in offset or jamming of the print position.

[0004] In response to the above problems, the present application proposes an improved step-by-step automatic coding mechanism. Utility Model Content

A transition shaft 3 11 and a transition shaft 4 12 are provided on the work tables on both sides of the coding mechanism.

[0030] The supporting plate between the limiting steps on both sides forms a printing support surface, and the supporting plate and the limiting step provide a stable support surface for the material, ensuring the accuracy of the material position during printing, thereby improving the printing quality.

[0031] Specifically, one side of the workbench plate is fixed with a support plate 24, the support plate 24 is fixed with a clamping block 25 through bolts, and the clamping block and the support plate form a fixing hole 26 for connecting the fixed plate.
