[0060] An inkjet printer is a device that sprays ink on a printing material to form an image or text, and can achieve high-definition printing, and is widely used in many industries.

[0061] In the related art, when printing a batch of paper, film, cloth and other printing materials, a large piece of printing material is usually continuously fed for printing, and the printing material is cut after printing to form a product of a specific size. The manual cutting method is more troublesome, and if a cutting structure is provided in the inkjet printer, it is easy to scratch the printing material when no cutting is needed.

[0062] Based on the above problems, the present application proposes a cutting module 10 applied in an inkjet printer 1000.

[0063] Please refer to Figure 1The inkjet printer 1000 further comprises a frame 200 as a mounting base, and a print head 100 and a translation assembly 300 provided on the frame 200, the frame 200 is provided with a printing platform for carrying a printing material, the translation assembly 300 is provided on the frame 200 and is in driving connection with the print head 100, the print head 100 is located above the printing platform, the print head 100 is provided with an ink ejection module, and the translation assembly 300 can drive the print head 100 to translate to different positions for inkjet printing. In some embodiments, the inkjet printer 1000 can further be provided with a lifting assembly, which can drive the print head 100 to lift or at least drive the ink ejection module in the print head 100 to lift to adjust the printing height.

[0064] Please refer to Figures 2 to 5 In an embodiment of the present application, the cutting module 10 comprises a mounting bracket 1, a cutter assembly 2 and a driving member 3, the cutter assembly 2 is slidably provided on the mounting bracket 1 along a first direction X and has a cutting position and a retracted position; the driving member 3 is movably provided on the mounting bracket 1 and has a first position and a second position, the driving member 3 is in driving cooperation with the cutter assembly 2, and the driving member 3 can drive the cutter assembly 2 to slide during movement between the first position and the second position; when the driving member 3 is located at the first position, the cutter assembly 2 is located at the cutting position, and when the driving member 3 is located at the second position, the cutter assembly 2 is located at the retracted position.

[0065] The cutting module 10 is used for cutting the printing material in the inkjet printer 1000 to cut out the printing material of a required size. In the cutting module 10, the mounting bracket 1 is used as a base structure for mounting and supporting the cutter assembly 2 and the driving member 3 and the like; optionally, the mounting bracket 1 can be provided as a plate structure, the cutter assembly 2 and the driving member 3 are arranged on the plate surface of the mounting bracket 1, or the mounting bracket 1 can be provided as a frame structure or a mounting shell, the cutter assembly 2 and the driving member 3 are arranged in the mounting cavity of the mounting shell. In addition, the mounting bracket 1 can be a bearing structure specially provided for mounting the cutter assembly 2 and the driving member 3, that is, the cutting module 10 is modularly arranged and can be integrally disassembled. In some embodiments, the structure of the inkjet printer 1000 can be used as the mounting bracket 1, for example, the print head 100 of the inkjet printer 1000, and the cutting module 10 is arranged on the print head 100, at this time, the shell of the print head 100 can be used as the mounting bracket 1.

[0066] The cutter assembly 2 is a functional body for contacting the printing material to cut the printing material, and the cutter assembly 2 is provided with a cutter 22, which can be provided as but is not limited to a round blade, a sharp blade or other structures, the round blade is a circular blade provided with a circumferential cutting edge; the sharp blade is a blade structure provided with a blade tip.

[0067] The cutter assembly 2 can be driven by the driving member 3 to reciprocate along the first direction X relative to the mounting bracket 1, so as to switch the cutter assembly 2 between the cutting position and the retracted position. When the cutter assembly 2 is located at the cutting position, the cutting part extends out of the mounting bracket 1, so as to be in contact with the printing material when applied to the inkjet printer 1000, thereby cutting the printing material. When the cutter assembly 2 is located at the retracted position, the cutting part is retracted to the mounting bracket 1, or the length of the cutting part extending out of the mounting bracket 1 is less than the length of the cutting part extending out of the mounting bracket 1 when the cutter assembly 2 is located at the cutting position.

[0068] In a specific application, the cutting module 10 is arranged on the inkjet printer 1000, the height of the cutting end of the cutter assembly 2 in the cutting position is lower than the height in the retracted position, and the cutting end of the cutter assembly 2 can be in contact with the printing material to cut the printing material when the cutter assembly 2 is located at the cutting position. When the cutter assembly 2 is located at the retracted position, the cutter assembly 2 is not in contact with the printing material. In this way, when the printing material does not need to be cut, the cutter assembly 2 can be moved to the retracted position, so as to avoid scratching the printing material by the cutter assembly 2.

[0069] In this embodiment, the driving member 3 is movably arranged on the mounting bracket 1, and drives the cutter assembly 2 to move during the movement of the driving member 3, so as to switch the position. Alternatively, the driving member 3 can be used only to drive the cutter assembly 2 to switch from the retracted position to the cutting position, and other structures are arranged to drive the cutter assembly 2 to switch from the cutting position to the retracted position, for example, the reset member 4 in the following embodiment. Of course, the driving member 3 can also be arranged to drive the cutter assembly 2 to reciprocate between the retracted position and the cutting position.

[0070] The movement of the driving member 3 on the mounting bracket 1 can be sliding, rotating or other ways, for example, the driving member 3 can be slidably arranged, and the following embodiment is arranged with a slope 31 on the driving member 3 and the cutter assembly 2 is abutted, so as to push the cutter assembly 2 during the sliding process. Alternatively, the driving member 3 and the cutter assembly 2 are respectively arranged with a rack, and the two racks are engaged with a gear, the gear is driven to rotate by driving the driving member 3 to slide, and the cutter assembly 2 is driven to slide by the gear. Alternatively, the driving member 3 can be rotatably arranged, and the driving member 3 and the cutter assembly 2 are driven by a gear-rack mechanism, a crank linkage mechanism or a cam structure, which will not be described herein.

[0071] In addition, a motor, a pneumatic cylinder or other structures can be arranged to drive the driving member 3 to move, and the following embodiment can drive the driving member 3 to move by arranging a pushing member 400 or other structures on the equipment, and the specific implementation manner will be introduced below, which will not be described herein.

[0072] Optionally, when the cutting module 10 is applied to the inkjet printer 100, two sets of translation assemblies 300 can be arranged in the inkjet printer 100, one set of translation assemblies 300 is used to drive the print head 100 to move, and the other set of translation assemblies 300 is used to drive the cutting module 10 to move. Alternatively, the cutting module 10 can be arranged on the print head 100, so that only one set of translation assemblies 300 is needed in the inkjet printer 100 to drive the print head 100 to move. It can be understood that since the cutter assembly 2 of the cutting module 10 is retractable, even if the inkjet module and the cutting module 10 move together, when inkjet printing is performed without cutting, only the cutter assembly 2 needs to be swung to the retracted position to avoid scratching the printing material during printing. In this way, the number of components in the inkjet printer 1000 can be reduced, and the structure of the inkjet printer 1000 can be simplified.

[0073] That is, the technical scheme of the utility model, the cutter assembly 2 of the cutting module 10 is arranged as a telescopic structure that can slide relative to the mounting bracket 1, and the driving member 3 is used to drive the cutter assembly 2 to slide to switch the cutter assembly 2 between the cutting position and the retracted position. When the cutting module 10 is applied to the inkjet printer 1000, the driving member 3 can be driven to move to the first position to drive the cutter assembly 2 to slide to the cutting position that can contact the printing material, and then the cutting module 10 is moved to cut the printing material. When the printing material does not need to be cut, the driving member 3 is moved to the second position to drive the cutter assembly 2 to slide to the retracted position, so that the cutter assembly 2 does not contact the printing material and scratch the printing material. That is, the cutting module 10 of the present application can be used to cut the printing material in the inkjet printer 1000 to improve the production convenience, and can also avoid scratching the printing material when the printing material does not need to be cut.

[0074] Please refer to Figures 3 to 5 In some embodiments, the cutter assembly 2 has a cutting end and a driving end arranged opposite to each other in the first direction X, the driving member 3 is located on the side of the driving end and can be arranged to slide in the second direction Y, the second direction Y intersects the first direction X; the side of the driving member 3 facing the cutter assembly 2 is provided with a slope 31, which is arranged to extend obliquely away from the cutter assembly 2 in the direction from the first position to the second position; the driving member 3 is in sliding cooperation with the cutter assembly 2 through the slope 31 during sliding to drive the cutter assembly 2 to slide.

[0075] In the embodiment, the driving member 3 is slidably arranged on the mounting bracket 1, and the sliding direction of the driving member 3 (i.e. the second direction Y shown in the figure) is arranged at an angle with the sliding direction of the cutter assembly 2 (i.e. the first direction X shown in the figure). The side of the driving member 3 facing the cutter assembly 2 is provided with a slope 31 for abutting with the driving end of the cutter assembly 2. During the sliding of the driving member 3 from the first position to the second position, the cutter assembly 2 slides along the slope 31 relative to the driving member 3, so as to slide the cutter assembly 2 from the cutting position to the retracted position. During the sliding of the driving member 3 from the second position to the first position, the cutter assembly 2 slides along the slope 31 relative to the driving member 3, so as to slide the cutter assembly 2 from the retracted position to the cutting position.

[0076] In the embodiment, the driving member 3 is slidably arranged on the mounting bracket 1, and the sliding direction of the driving member 3 (i.e. the second direction Y shown in the figure) is arranged at an angle with the sliding direction of the cutter assembly 2 (i.e. the first direction X shown in the figure). The side of the driving member 3 facing the cutter assembly 2 is provided with a slope 31 for abutting with the driving end of the cutter assembly 2. During the sliding of the driving member 3 from the first position to the second position, the cutter assembly 2 slides along the slope 31 relative to the driving member 3, so as to slide the cutter assembly 2 from the cutting position to the retracted position. During the sliding of the driving member 3 from the second position to the first position, the cutter assembly 2 slides along the slope 31 relative to the driving member 3, so as to slide the cutter assembly 2 from the retracted position to the cutting position.

[0077] Please refer to Figure 8 When the cutting module 10 is applied in the inkjet printer 1000 or the like, the cutting module 10 is driven by the translation assembly 300 to translate along the cutting direction. Along the translation direction of the cutting assembly, the pushing member 400 can be arranged on both sides of the cutting module 10. When the cutting of the printing material is needed, the cutting module 10 is moved to the cutting starting end and to the position of the pushing member 400 on the side, so that the driving member 3 abuts with the pushing member 400 on the side and is pushed by the pushing member 400 to slide from the first position to the second position, so as to slide the cutter assembly 2 to the cutting position. Then the cutting module 10 is driven to cut the printing material. After the cutting is completed, the cutting module 10 approaches the other pushing member 400, the driving member 3 abuts with the pushing member 400 on the side and is pushed by the pushing member 400 to slide from the second position to the first position, so as to retract the cutter assembly 2 to the retracted position. In this way, the printing material will not be scratched during the movement of the cutting assembly module back to the cutting starting end.

[0078] Optionally, a lock release structure can be arranged on the mounting bracket 1 for locking the driving member 3 in the first position and the second position, so as to lock the cutter assembly 2 in the cutting position and the retracted position by the driving member 3; for example, the lock release structure can be but not limited to a magnetic attraction structure, a plug-in structure, etc. In addition, the first groove 32 and the second groove 33 can also be arranged on the driving member 3 as in the following embodiments, so as to be clamped with the cutter assembly 2 when the driving member 3 is located in the first position and the second position respectively, and the cutter assembly 2 is held by the reset member 4, so as to lock the cutter assembly 2 and the driving member 3.

[0079] It should be noted that the driving member 3 and the cutter assembly 2 can reciprocate, the first direction X includes the direction indicated by the arrow and the direction opposite to the arrow, and the second direction Y also includes the direction indicated by the arrow and the direction opposite to the arrow.

[0080] Please refer to Figures 3 to 5 In some embodiments, the driving member 3 is provided with the first groove 32, the first groove 32 and the inclined surface 31 are arranged along the direction from the first position to the second position, and one end of the cutter assembly 2 is located in the first groove 32 when the driving member 3 is located in the first position.

[0081] In this embodiment, the driving member 3 is clamped and matched with the cutter assembly 2 by the arrangement of the first groove 32 when the driving member 3 is in the first position, so as to limit the cutter assembly 2 and the driving member 3, that is, to avoid the driving member 3 from continuing to slide and the cutter assembly 2 from retracting, so as to keep the cutter assembly 2 in the cutting position.

[0082] Please refer to Figures 3 to 5 In some embodiments, the driving member 3 is provided with the second groove 33, the inclined surface 31 and the second groove 33 are arranged along the direction from the first position to the second position, and one end of the cutter assembly 2 is located in the second groove 33 when the driving member 3 is located in the second position.

[0083] In this embodiment, the driving member 3 is clamped and matched with the cutter assembly 2 by the arrangement of the second groove 33 when the driving member 3 is in the second position, so as to limit the driving member 3 by the cutter assembly 2, and avoid the driving member 3 from continuing to slide and causing the cutter assembly 2 to extend. In the following embodiments, the reset member 4 can be arranged for applying a force to the cutter assembly 2, so as to keep the cutter assembly 2 in the retracted position; or a magnetic attraction member or other locking structure can be arranged on the driving member 3 or the mounting bracket 1, for locking the cutter assembly 2 to keep the cutter assembly 2 in the retracted position.

[0084] Please refer to Figures 3 to 5 In some embodiments, the mounting bracket 1 is provided with the first sliding groove 111 extending along the second direction Y, and the driving member 3 is slidably arranged in the first sliding groove 111.

[0085] In the embodiment, the first sliding groove 111 is arranged to limit and guide the driving member 3, improve the stability of the sliding process of the driving member 3, and improve the overall structural stability. The first sliding groove 111 can be penetrated at both ends, so that part of the structure of the driving member 3 can slide out of the outside of the mounting bracket 1, and the driving member 3 abuts against the pushing member 400 used to push the driving member 3. In addition, the pushing member 400 can also slide into the first sliding groove 111 to push the driving member 3.

[0086] Referring to Figure 3 In some embodiments, one of the limiting protrusion 112 and the first limiting groove 34 is arranged on the mounting bracket 1, and the other of the limiting protrusion 112 and the first limiting groove 34 is arranged on the driving member 3. The first limiting groove 34 is arranged to extend along the second direction Y, and the limiting protrusion 112 is arranged in the first limiting groove 34.

[0087] In the embodiment, the length of the first limiting groove 34 is greater than the size of the limiting protrusion 112 along the second direction Y. During the reciprocating sliding of the driving member 3 between the first position and the second position, the limiting protrusion 112 slides in the first limiting groove 34. The two end walls of the first limiting groove 34 can be limited and matched with the limiting protrusion 112, respectively, to limit the driving member 3. The driving member 3 can be prevented from sliding beyond the required stroke range along the second direction Y. For example, when the driving member 3 slides to the first position, the limiting protrusion 112 abuts against one of the end walls of the first limiting groove 34. When the driving member 3 slides to the second position, the limiting protrusion 112 abuts against the other end wall of the first limiting groove 34.

[0088] Optionally, the limiting protrusion 112 can be arranged on the mounting bracket 1, and the first limiting groove 34 can be arranged on the driving member 3. For example, the limiting protrusion 112 is arranged on the side wall of the first sliding groove 111 in the foregoing embodiment, and the corresponding first limiting groove 34 is arranged on the edge of the driving member 3. Alternatively, the limiting protrusion 112 can be arranged on the mounting surface of the mounting bracket 1 facing the driving member 3, and the first limiting groove 34 can be arranged on the surface of the driving member 3 facing the mounting surface. Of course, the limiting protrusion 112 can also be arranged on the driving member 3, and the first limiting groove 34 can be arranged on the mounting bracket 1, which is not limited herein.

[0089] Referring to Figures 3 to 5 In some embodiments, the end surface of the cutting knife assembly 2 abutting against the driving member 3 is arranged as an arc surface.

[0090] The contact area between the cutter assembly 2 and the inclined surface 31 is relatively small, which can reduce the friction between the cutter assembly 2 and the driving member 3, thereby reducing the abrasion. In some embodiments, the end surface of the cutter assembly 2 can be a cylindrical surface or a spherical surface, or a wheel body can be arranged at the end of the cutter assembly 2 as the abutting member 215 for abutting against the driving member 3. Further, the wheel body can be arranged in a rotatable structure to further reduce the friction between the cutter assembly 2 and the driving member 3.

[0091] In some embodiments, the end of the cutter assembly 2 abutting against the driving member 3 is elastic.

[0092] In the present embodiment, an elastic structure is arranged at the end of the cutter assembly 2. The elastic structure can be made of silica gel, rubber or other elastic materials, and can be in the form of, but not limited to, an elastic pad, an elastic wheel or other structures. Such an arrangement can avoid hard contact between the cutter assembly 2 and the driving member 3, thereby reducing the abrasion during the relative movement between the driving member 3 and the cutter assembly 2. In some embodiments, the driving member 3 is provided with a first groove 32 and a second groove 33 for locking the cutter assembly 2. When the position of the cutter assembly 2 needs to be switched and the driving member 3 is slid, the driving member 3 deforms the elastic structure, so as to facilitate the cutter assembly 2 to enter or exit the first groove 32 and the second groove 33.

[0093] Referring to Figure 6 and Figure 7 In some embodiments, the end of the cutter assembly 2 abutting against the driving member 3 is provided with an abutting member 215 abutting against the driving member 3. The abutting member 215 includes a wheel body.

Such an arrangement can reduce the friction between the cutter assembly 2 and the driving member 3, thereby reducing the abrasion. Optionally, the wheel body can be arranged to be rotatable relative to the cutter assembly 2. When the cutter assembly 2 and the driving member 3 move relative to each other, the abutting member 215 can roll along the surface of the driving member 3, thereby further reducing the friction between the cutter assembly 2 and the driving member 3.

[0095] In addition, the surface layer of the wheel body structure can be arranged as an elastic structure to avoid hard contact between the abutting member 215 and the driving member 3. When the driving member 3 is provided with a first groove 32 and a second groove 33 for locking the cutter assembly 2, the driving member 3 deforms the elastic structure, so as to facilitate the abutting member 215 to enter or exit the first groove 32 and the second groove 33.

The cutting module 10 can cut the printing material by moving the print head 100. It can be understood that, since the cutter assembly 2 of the cutting module 10 is retractable, when inkjet printing is performed without cutting, the cutter assembly 2 can be swung to the retracted position to avoid scratching the printing material during printing. In this way, the number of components in the inkjet printer 1000 can be reduced, and the structure of the inkjet printer 1000 can be simplified.

[0141] Since the print head 100 provided in the embodiments of the application adopts all the technical solutions of the above embodiments, it at least has all the beneficial effects brought by the technical solutions of the above embodiments, which will not be repeated here.

The cutting module 10 can be integrated with the inkjet module as a whole structure to be connected to the same translation assembly 300, like the print head 100 in the preceding embodiments, and be driven by the same translation assembly 300. Since the cutter assembly 2 of the cutting module 10 is retractable, even if the inkjet module and the cutting module 10 move together, when inkjet printing is performed without cutting, only the cutter assembly 2 needs to be swung to the retracted position to avoid scratching the printing material during printing. In this way, the number of components in the inkjet printer 1000 can be reduced, and the structure of the inkjet printer 1000 can be simplified.
