Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of inkjet printer technology, specifically a multi-printer moving structure for an inkjet printer. Background Technology

[0002] Inkjet printers are suitable for coding printed materials such as advertisements, trademarks, packaging, pictures, and books. The inkjet printer head is one of the main components of an inkjet printer. Accurate positioning of the inkjet printer is crucial.

[0003] In existing inkjet printers, the movement of the printhead is mostly achieved through a stepper motor driving a gear transmission. However, the precision of printhead movement in existing technologies is not accurately controlled by the stepper motor, and the gear transmission suffers from insufficient motor power due to large gear backlash and the 1:1 gear ratio, which can easily cause jamming and other problems. Therefore, there is an urgent need for an inkjet printer with a multi-printhead moving structure to solve these problems. Utility Model Content

[0034] The nozzle head sleeve 13 is connected to the nozzle fixing plate 11, and the nozzle is installed on the nozzle head sleeve 13.

[0035] The nozzle is installed on the nozzle head sleeve 13. The lateral position adjustment mechanism precisely controls and adjusts the position of the nozzle fixing plate 11 laterally, thereby precisely controlling the lateral position of the nozzle head sleeve 13. The slide rail 2 ensures the stable lateral movement of the nozzle fixing plate 11.

[0036] As one embodiment of this utility model, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The lateral position adjustment mechanism includes:

[0049] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: The nozzle is installed on the nozzle head sleeve 13. When the position of the nozzle head sleeve 13 needs to be adjusted, the stepper motor 9 works, driving the motor synchronous pulley 8 to rotate. The motor synchronous pulley 8 drives the synchronous belt 7 to rotate. The synchronous belt 7 drives the nut synchronous pulley 6 to rotate. The nut synchronous pulley 6 drives the nut connecting shaft 5 to rotate. The nut connecting shaft 5 drives the ball screw nut 4 to rotate on the ball screw 3.
