TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of metering ribbon thermal printer, in particular to a metering ribbon thermal printer. BACKGROUND
[0002] At present, domestic optical cable manufacturers usually adopt two ways of printing code, namely, ink-jet printing and ribbon printing, in the process of producing optical cable. However, in foreign countries, some special printing methods are occasionally used in the process of producing optical cable, such as embossing printing.
[0003] Ink-jet printing is the most common printing method, which is widely used by domestic optical cable manufacturers. In this method, the content to be printed is first edited by a host computer. Each character in the content is decomposed into a dot matrix containing ink. Voltage is automatically distributed to ink particles in different proportions according to the position of each dot matrix. Then, the ink particles are adsorbed on the surface of the optical cable by electrostatic field deflection, so as to form the printed information on the surface of the optical cable to achieve the purpose of printing. If ink-jet printing is adopted, the printed information can be edited and the font size can be adjusted, which is relatively convenient to operate. Moreover, dynamic ink-jet printing of meter mark can be realized and the printing effect is good. However, ink-jet printing also has some disadvantages. For example, the ink-jet printer and special ink for ink-jet printing are relatively expensive, color changing is complicated, and the adhesion of the ink is poor, which may cause the printed information to become blurred if the optical cable is rubbed.
[0004] Ribbon printing, also known as block printing, is a printing method commonly required by overseas customers. In this method, the optical cable is clamped by a metering wheel and a supporting wheel during the production of the optical cable. The metering wheel starts to rotate under the friction of the optical cable. The chain drives the printing wheel to rotate. The printing wheel is provided with a block with a protruding surface. The block is pressed against the ribbon during rotation, so as to engrave characters on the cable. The metering wheel rotates one revolution, and the printing wheel prints one time. In order to make the characters engraved by the block more clear, the printing machine is also provided with a heating system to heat the block and the metering device, so that the engraved trace on the cable sheath is clearer. If ribbon printing is adopted, the ribbon printing machine and the ribbon as consumables are relatively cheap, the printing is clear and wear-resistant. However, ribbon printing also has some disadvantages. For example, the printing is often blurred, white printing is not available, the printing is not complete, and the characters are not firm, etc. Therefore, we propose a metering ribbon thermal printer.
