DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0031] In order to make the technical problem, technical scheme and beneficial effect to be solved in the utility model more clear and obvious, the utility model is further described in detail below by combining with the drawings and examples. It should be understood that the specific examples described here are only used to explain the utility model, and are not used to limit the utility model.

[0033] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, a printing device with a variable stacking state described in one embodiment of the present invention includes a printing body 1, a paper outlet 101 is provided on one side of the printing body 1, and a rotating discharge mechanism is provided at the paper outlet 101. The rotating discharge mechanism is used to adjust the paper discharge direction so that the paper can be staggered and stacked.

[0034] When the printer is working, it first receives a print job from a computer or other electronic device, and the printing body 1 starts to execute the print job, and the printed paper is delivered to the paper outlet 101. At this time, the rotary discharge mechanism automatically adjusts the paper discharge direction according to the preset program or user-set parameters.

[0035] When executing multiple consecutive print jobs, the rotary discharge mechanism slightly shifts the stacking direction of the paper after each print job completes, offsetting the stacking direction of the new job's pages from the previous job. This allows the pages of each print job to be naturally separated when stacked, creating clear boundaries for easy identification and organization.

[0036] When executing a single print job, the rotary discharge mechanism slightly shifts the stacking direction of each page after each page is completed, offsetting the next sheet from the previous one. This way, the sheets of the current print job are stacked in an offset manner, creating clear boundaries and making it easier for users to check each page.

[0037] Compared to traditional printers that often cause documents to stack during printing, making them difficult to distinguish, this embodiment utilizes a rotating discharge mechanism to automatically adjust the paper discharge direction, achieving a staggered stacking effect. This improves the user experience, allowing users to easily distinguish between papers for different print jobs and prevent misplacing documents. Furthermore, after printing a single job, the staggered stacking of papers makes it easier for users to conduct page-by-page inspections, enabling them to more quickly locate each page and improving inspection efficiency and accuracy.

[0038] As Figures 3 to 5 shown in the figure, in a preferred embodiment, the rotating discharging mechanism comprises a rotating assembly 2, the rotating assembly 2 comprises a rotating disc 201 connected with the lower side of the paper outlet 101, the rotating disc 201 is drivingly connected with a first motor 202.

[0039] The output shaft of the first motor 202 is connected with a speed reducer, the output shaft of the speed reducer is connected with the rotating disc 201.

[0040] When adjusting the discharging direction of the paper, the first motor 202 is started, the output shaft of the first motor 202 drives the speed reducer to rotate, the speed reducer converts the high-speed rotation of the motor into low-speed, large-torque rotation, and the speed reducer drives the rotating disc 201 to rotate by a certain angle. With the rotation of the rotating disc 201, the paper at the paper outlet 101 is driven to rotate, thereby changing the discharging direction and forming a misalignment with the previous paper or the paper of the previous task when stacking. According to the preset program or the parameters set by the user, the angle and timing of each rotation of the rotating disc 201 can be accurately controlled to ensure that the paper can form the required misalignment effect when stacking.

[0041] In this embodiment, through the accurate control of the rotating discharging mechanism, the paper can be misaligned and stacked as needed, reducing the time for the user to distinguish and arrange the files. The misaligned and stacked paper pile has clear visual boundaries, so that the user can easily find the required file, reduce the situation of taking the wrong file, facilitate the user to check page by page, and improve the user's use experience.

[0042] As Figures 3 to 5 shown in the figure, in a preferred embodiment, the rotating assembly 2 is provided with a discharging assembly 3, the discharging assembly 3 comprises a driving wheel 301, the driving wheel 301 is drivingly connected with a second motor 303, and the driving wheel 301 is drivingly connected with a plurality of driven wheels 302. The output shaft of the second motor 303 is connected with a speed reducer, the speed reducer is connected with the rotating shaft of the driving wheel 301 through a shaft coupling. The driving wheel 301 and the driven wheel 302 are drivingly connected through a synchronous belt or a gear.

[0043] The discharging assembly 3 comprises a first discharging assembly and a second discharging assembly, the movement directions of the first discharging assembly and the second discharging assembly are perpendicular to each other. The movement direction of the first discharging assembly is the front-back direction, and the movement direction of the second discharging assembly is the left-right direction. When the rotating assembly 2 drives the discharging assembly 3 to rotate by 90°, the movement direction of the second discharging assembly becomes the front-back direction. At the same time, the first discharging assembly and the second discharging assembly can cooperate with each other to adjust the discharging direction of the paper.

[0044] When performing multiple continuous printing tasks, the first printing task is normally discharged, and the paper is sent out by the cooperation of the driving wheel 301 and the driven wheel 302 of the first discharge assembly. The second printing task is transversely discharged, and the paper is first rotated by 90° through the rotation assembly 2 and the discharge assembly 3, and then transversely sent out through the second discharge assembly. At this time, the paper stack of the first printing task is perpendicular to the paper stack of the second printing task. The third printing task is still normally discharged, and the fourth printing task is transversely discharged, and the subsequent printing tasks are performed in this way, and the normal discharge and the transverse discharge are performed alternately.

[0045] When performing a single printing task, the first page is normally discharged, and the paper is sent out by the cooperation of the driving wheel 301 and the driven wheel 302 of the first discharge assembly. The second page is obliquely discharged, that is, the paper is first rotated by a certain angle through the rotation assembly 2 and the discharge assembly 3, and then transversely sent out through the first discharge assembly. At this time, the first page and the second page are stacked at a certain angle. The rotation angle of the subsequent paper is increased by a certain angle based on the last rotation angle, and the printing of all pages of the current task is completed in this way. The incremental angle of each rotation is 1°-10°, which can be determined according to the number of pages of the task. The more the number of pages, the smaller the incremental angle, and the less the number of pages, the larger the incremental angle. It can also be artificially set to an angle that is convenient for checking. The starting page can also be obliquely discharged, and the discharge angle of the entire printing task can be larger.

[0046] The embodiment improves the flexibility and efficiency of the printer when processing continuous and single multi-page printing tasks. Through the cooperation of the rotation assembly 2 and the discharge assembly 3, the dynamic adjustment of the paper discharge direction is realized, the normal discharge and the transverse discharge are alternately performed, and the oblique discharge and the angle increment function of the paper in a single task are realized, which prevents the confusion of the paper between different tasks, improves the convenience of file management, and provides convenience for the arrangement and checking of the document through the change of the angle. At the same time, the system also has the functions of intelligent adjustment and manual setting, and can be flexibly adjusted according to the actual situation of the printing task and the specific needs of the user, further enhancing the practicality of the printer and the user experience.

[0047] In actual application, a plurality of discharge assemblies 3 can be arranged, such as three discharge assemblies 3, and the motion included angle between the two discharge assemblies 3 is 120°, which can more flexibly control the paper discharge direction.

[0048] As shown in Figure 4 and Figure 6 , in a preferred embodiment, the driving wheel 301 and the driven wheel 302 are sleeved with a sheath 304 outside.

[0049] The material of the sheath 304 is foam.

[0050] The surface of the sheath 304 is provided with a groove in the axial direction.

[0051] When the driving wheel 301 and the driven wheel 302 start to rotate, the surface of the foam sheath 304 stably holds and forwards the paper by virtue of good flexibility and appropriate friction. When the second discharge assembly discharges, the groove on the foam sheath 304 in the first discharge assembly can reduce the friction on the paper, ensuring smooth discharge of the paper when the conveying direction is changed.

[0052] The foam sheath 304 has good flexibility, can protect the paper, and has good contact with the paper and large friction, which can stabilize the paper conveying and stably drive the paper to rotate synchronously when rotating. The axial groove has little tangential influence on the sheath 304, thereby ensuring the stability of the conveying and reducing the friction on the paper when the other discharge assembly 3 moves, ensuring smooth discharge of the paper.

[0053] As shown in Figure 3 , the rotating disc 201 comprises a fixed disc, the fixed disc is provided with a support disc, the rotating assembly 2 and the discharge assembly 3 are connected with the fixed disc, the support disc is flush with the lower side of the paper outlet 101, the support disc is provided with a through hole corresponding to the driving wheel 301 and the driven wheel 302, and the sheath 304 is higher than the upper surface of the support disc, which can support the paper and keep the paper flat, and can ensure good contact between the sheath 304 and the paper.

[0054] As shown in Figure 3 and Figure 7 , in a preferred embodiment, the discharge assembly 3 is provided with a positioning assembly 4 above the discharge assembly 3, the positioning assembly 4 comprises a connecting column 401 connected with the upper side of the paper outlet 101, the bottom of the connecting column 401 is rotatably connected with a ball 402, and a spring 403 is arranged between the ball 402 and the connecting column 401. The connecting column 401 is located above the driving wheel 301 or the driven wheel 302. The spring 403 can keep the ball 402 in contact with the paper, thereby pressing the paper towards the driving wheel 301 or the driven wheel 302, and ensuring the friction between the paper and the driving wheel 301 and the driven wheel 302. On the other hand, the spring 403 can be compressed to prevent excessive pressure from damaging the paper. The ball 402 reduces the friction on the paper, which can ensure normal conveying of the paper and synchronous rotation of the paper with the discharge assembly 3.

[0055] In actual application, the positioning assembly 4 can be used to set a baffle on the rotating disc 201, control the state of the baffle through extension or rotation, and when it is needed to drive the paper to rotate, the baffle is moved to one side of the paper to limit the paper, so as to drive the paper to rotate synchronously. After the rotation is completed, the baffle is reset to avoid interference to the conveying of the paper. Alternatively, a suction nozzle is arranged on the rotating disc 201, and when it is needed to drive the paper to rotate, the paper is fixed through negative pressure adsorption of the suction nozzle, and after the rotation is completed, the adsorption is stopped.

[0056] As shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 In a preferred embodiment, the paper outlet 101 penetrates through the left and right sides of the printing main body 1, and the width of the paper outlet 101 is greater than the length of the paper.

[0057] The left and right sides of the paper outlet 101 are arc-shaped.

[0058] In this embodiment, by enlarging the width of the paper outlet 101 and adopting an arc-shaped edge, the wide paper outlet 101 provides sufficient discharging space for the paper, so that the paper can be discharged in various directions, the misalignment space of the paper is large, and the risk of paper jamming and paper damage is reduced. In addition, the arc-shaped paper outlet 101 beautifies the appearance.

[0059] As shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 In a preferred embodiment, the top of the printing main body 1 is provided with a paper inlet 102, and a cover plate 103 is movably arranged at the paper inlet 102. The cover plate 103 is rotationally connected with the printing main body 1, and the cover plate 103 is driven by a motor. The printing main body 1 is provided with a control button 104 on one side of the cover plate 103, and the opening and closing of the cover plate 103 is controlled through the control button 104.

[0060] When it is needed to add paper into the printing main body 1, the control button 104 arranged on the printing main body 1 is pressed, the motor receives the signal to drive the cover plate 103 to open, and the paper inlet 102 is exposed. Then, the user can neatly put the paper to be printed into the paper inlet 102. When it is not needed to use, the control button 104 is pressed again, the motor reversely rotates to drive the cover plate 103 to close, so as to ensure the sealing of the paper inlet 102 and prevent dust or other sundries from entering the inside of the printing main body 1.

[0061] In this embodiment, by arranging the cover plate 103, the printer can maintain a sealed state when it is not used, which effectively prevents the entry of dust, paper scraps and other sundries, protects the cleanliness inside the printing main body 1, and thus guarantees the printing quality. In addition, through the cover plate 103 driven by the motor, the user only needs to touch the control button 104 to complete the opening and closing operation of the cover plate 103, which improves the operation convenience of the printer.

[0062] As shown in Figure 1 andFigure 2 As shown, in a preferred embodiment, the top of the printing body 1 is provided with a slope 105, and a display assembly 106 for displaying the working mode is arranged on the slope 105. The display assembly 106 is a display screen or an LED dot matrix.

[0063] During the working process of the printing body 1, the user can quickly understand the current working mode or state by observing the display assembly 106 located on the top slope 105. The slope 105 makes the display assembly 106 in a relatively conspicuous and easy-to-observe position, and the user can easily obtain the required information from multiple angles of the printing body 1. When the printing task starts, the display assembly 106 will update the display content in real time according to the working state inside the printing body 1, such as displaying the current working mode (such as printing, copying, scanning, etc.), printing progress, paper quantity or other related prompt information, which are presented in the form of clear text, numbers or patterns, so that the user can understand at a glance.

[0064] In this embodiment, by arranging the display assembly 106, the intelligent degree of the printing body 1 is further enhanced, and the user can grasp the working state and related information of the printing device at any time. Whether for home users or office places, the working efficiency and user experience can be significantly improved. The slope 105 not only looks beautiful and elegant, but also ingeniously utilizes the space layout, so that the display assembly 106 can be more easily observed by the user.

[0065] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present application, and is not intended to limit the present application. Any modification, equivalent replacement and improvement within the spirit and principle of the present application shall be included in the protection scope of the present application.
