[0014] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a printer platform printing device according to this utility model. Detailed Implementation
[0015] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0016] Reference Figure 1A dial indicator device for a printer platform includes a guide rail fixing plate 1, a guide rail 2, a first mounting device 3, a second mounting device 4, a first dial indicator 5, and a second dial indicator 6. The guide rail 2 is mounted on the guide rail fixing plate 1 and is arranged along the length of the guide rail fixing plate 1. The first mounting device 3 and the second mounting device 4 are both mounted on the guide rail 2 and can move along the guide rail 2. The first dial indicator 5 is fixed to the bottom end of the first mounting device 3 and is horizontally arranged. The second dial indicator 6 is fixed to the bottom end of the second mounting device 4 and is vertically arranged. The horizontally arranged first dial indicator 5 can be used to adjust the parallelism of the front of the printer platform; the vertically arranged second dial indicator 6 can be used to adjust the verticality of the working surface of the printer platform.
[0017] By providing a first dial gauge 5 and a second dial gauge 6, the corresponding test data can be read directly, replacing the existing manual visual adjustment, which helps to improve the leveling accuracy and efficiency, thereby improving the printer's print quality.
[0018] The first mounting device 3 and the second mounting device 4 have the same structure.
[0019] The first mounting device 3 includes a movable rod 31, a fixed block 32, and a slider 33. The slider 33 cooperates with the guide rail 2, the fixed block 32 is fixed on the slider 33, and the movable rod 31 passes through the fixed block 32. The first dial indicator 5 and the second dial indicator 6 are respectively located at the bottom end of the movable rod 31 fixed in the first mounting device 3 and the second mounting device 4. The movable rod 31 is vertically arranged and perpendicular to the guide rail 2.
[0020] Therefore, slider 33 can move relative to guide rail 2, thereby facilitating the adjustment of the positions of the first dial indicator 5 and the second dial indicator 6 on guide rail 2, making it convenient to level the dial indicator at different positions and meet the actual use requirements.
[0021] The first mounting device 3 also includes a fastening screw 34. The front end of the fixing block 32 is provided with a threaded hole. One end of the fastening screw 34 is located on the front side of the fixing block 32, and the other end passes through the threaded hole and abuts against the movable rod 31. The fastening screw 34 can be a handle screw, which facilitates the rotation and adjustment of the end of the fastening screw 34 located on the outside of the fixing block 32.
[0022] Specifically, when the first dial indicator 5 and the second dial indicator 6 need to be adjusted up or down, the operator loosens the fastening screw 34 so that the fastening screw 34 does not press the movable rod 31. At this time, the movable rod 31 can be adjusted up or down according to the actual use requirements. After the movable rod 31 drives the corresponding dial indicator to the correct position, the fastening screw 34 is tightened in the opposite direction so that the other end of the fastening screw 34 presses against the movable rod 31, thereby fixing the movable rod 31 on the fixed block 32.
[0023] The first mounting device 3 also includes a locking handle 35, which is connected to the slider 33 and corresponds to the guide rail 2. The locking handle 35 operates on the same principle as the fastening screw 34. Rotating the locking handle 35 causes one end of the handle 35 to press against the guide rail 2, thus fixing the slider 33 in the corresponding position on the guide rail 2. Reverse rotation of the locking handle 35 removes one end from the guide rail 2, allowing the slider 33 to move on the guide rail 2 to the desired position before fixing it. This provides convenient use and adjustment.
[0024] The bottom end of the movable rod 31 is provided with a dial indicator fixing plate 7. One end of the dial indicator fixing plate 7 is fixed to the bottom end of the movable rod 31, and the other end is provided with an opening groove 71. The first dial indicator 5 and the second dial indicator 6 are fixed in the opening groove 71 of the corresponding dial indicator fixing plate 7. Specifically, a through hole is opened at one end of the dial indicator fixing plate 7, and the bottom end of the movable rod 31 is inserted into the through hole to fix the movable rod 31 to the dial indicator fixing plate 7.
[0025] An opening slot 71 is provided at the other end of the dial indicator mounting plate 7, so that the dial indicator can pass through the opening slot 71 and be installed on the dial indicator mounting plate 7. In order to ensure the stability of the dial indicator installation, the two side walls of the opening slot 71 are locked with screws, thereby clamping and fixing the dial indicator.
[0026] The printer platform printing device of this utility model also includes a limiting block 8, which is fixed to one end of the guide rail 2 by screws. The first mounting device 3 is located between the limiting block 8 and the second mounting device 4. The limiting block 8 can prevent the first mounting device 3 and the second mounting device 4 from disengaging from the guide rail 2.
[0027] The printer platform printing device of this utility model also includes a slider fixing plate 9, which is fixed to the other end of the guide rail 2, and the corresponding end of the guide rail fixing plate 1 is fixed to the slider fixing plate 9. The slider fixing plate 9 can be fixed to the guide rail 2 and the other end of the guide rail fixing plate 1 by screws. A mounting hole 91 is provided on the slider fixing plate 9, through which the whole unit can be fixedly installed on the corresponding structure of the printer.
[0028] A printer platform printing device also includes two reinforcing ribs 10, located on the upper and lower sides of the guide rail fixing plate 1 respectively. One side of each reinforcing rib 10 is fixed to the slider fixing plate 9. The reinforcing rib 10 can be L-shaped. During installation, the vertical side of the reinforcing rib 10 is fixed to the slider fixing plate 9 with screws, and the horizontal side of the reinforcing rib 10 is fixed to the guide rail fixing plate 1 with screws, thus achieving the installation and fixation of the reinforcing rib 10 and strengthening the entire structure.
[0029] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model. It should be noted that, for those skilled in the art, several modifications and improvements can be made without departing from the inventive concept of this utility model, and these all fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
