Moreover, the specific features, structures, materials or characteristics described can be combined in any one or more embodiments or examples in a suitable manner.

[0032] Please refer to Figures 1 to 3 The utility model discloses an printing mechanism for printing mobile phone shell, including: printing head assembly 10, nozzle drive assembly 20, position detection component 30 and support beam 40.

[0033] The support beam 40 is provided with nozzle guide rail 41.

[0034] The printing head assembly 10 is movably connected with the nozzle guide rail 41, and the printing head assembly 10 and the position detection component 30 are arranged on the two sides of the support beam 40 respectively.

[0035] The nozzle drive assembly 20 is drivingly connected with the printing head assembly 10, which drives the printing head assembly 10 to move along the nozzle guide rail 41.

[0036] The printing head assembly 10 and the position detection assembly 30 are arranged on two sides of the support beam 40 respectively, and the support beam 40 can block the consumables, so that the consumables sprayed by the printing head assembly 10 are prevented from adhering to the position detection assembly 30, thereby effectively preventing the position detection assembly 30 from being contaminated by the consumables and causing the inductance to be insensitive or even inductance failure, avoiding the need to frequently replace / clean the position detection assembly 30, and effectively reducing the number of maintenance.

[0037] The specific structure of the position detection assembly 30 can be selected according to actual needs, for example, the position detection assembly 30 can be an optical distance measuring sensor assembly or an infrared distance measuring sensor assembly, etc. In the embodiment, the position detection assembly 30 includes a grating sensor 31 and a grating strip 32, the grating sensor 31 and the grating strip 32 are inductively matched, and the grating sensor 31 and the grating strip 32 are arranged on the side of the support beam 40 away from the printing head assembly 10. The grating sensor 31 is connected with the printing head assembly 10, and the grating strip 32 is arranged on the side of the support beam 40 away from the printing head assembly 10. Benefiting from the blocking of the support beam 40, the consumables sprayed by the printing head assembly 10 are prevented from adhering to the grating sensor 31 or the grating strip 32, especially the grating strip 32, because the grating strip 32 is relatively long, and the surface of the grating strip 32 needs to be kept smooth due to the inductive distance between the grating strip 32 and the grating sensor 31. Of course, the position detection assembly 30 can also adopt other suitable structures, and is not limited to the grating sensor 31 and the grating strip 32.

[0038] In some optional embodiments, two grating fixing frames 42 are arranged on the side of the support beam 40 away from the printing head assembly 10, the grating strip is mounted on the two grating fixing frames 42, and the grating sensor is located between the two grating fixing frames 42. The grating fixing frame 42 facilitates the installation of the grating strip and maintains the shape of the grating strip.

[0039] Please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 In some optional embodiments, a first limiting portion 43 is formed on the grating fixing frame 42, and two second limiting portions 11 are arranged on the printing head assembly 10, the two second limiting portions 11 are located on two sides of the grating sensor respectively, the two second limiting portions 11 are located between the two first limiting portions 43, the first limiting portion 43 corresponds to and limits the second limiting portion 11, and when the grating sensor moves to the limit position, the first limiting portion 43 and the second limiting portion 11 abut against each other to limit the position of the grating sensor relative to the grating strip.

[0040] Please refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6In some optional embodiments, the printing mechanism for printing a phone case further comprises a protective cover 50, which forms a printing space 51 on the side of the support beam 40 facing the printing head assembly 10 and below the printing head assembly 10, and is used to block the consumables sprayed by the printing head assembly 10, further effectively preventing the sprayed consumables from bypassing the support beam 40 and adhering to the grating sensor 31 or the grating strip 32.

[0041] In some optional embodiments, part of the protective cover 50 is arranged on the side of the support beam 40 away from the printing head assembly 10 and below the grating sensor 31 and the grating strip 32. Since the printing space 51 is on the side of the support beam 40 facing the printing head assembly 10 and below the printing head assembly 10, the sprayed consumables mainly spread from below the support beam 40, and the protective cover 50 protects the grating sensor 31 and the grating strip 32 from below, which can further prevent the consumables from contacting the grating sensor 31 and the grating strip 32 in cooperation with the support beam 40.

[0042] In some optional embodiments, the nozzle guide rail 41 and the nozzle drive assembly 20 are both arranged on the side of the support beam 40 facing the printing head assembly 10, thereby providing sufficient space for the layout of the grating sensor 31 and the grating strip 32.

[0043] In order to facilitate the installation of the grating sensor 31 or the grating strip 32, in some optional embodiments, an extension 12 is arranged on the printing head assembly 10, which extends from above the support beam 40 to the side of the support beam 40 away from the printing head assembly 10, and the grating sensor 31 or the grating strip 32 is installed on the extension 12, thereby facilitating the connection of the grating sensor 31 or the grating strip 32 with the printing head assembly 10. In this embodiment, the grating sensor 31 and the second limiting portion 11 are arranged at the bottom of the extension 12, and the grating strip 32 is arranged on the side of the support beam 40 away from the printing head assembly 10.

[0044] In addition, the extension 12 can further prevent the consumables from contacting the grating sensor 31 and the grating strip 32. In this embodiment, the extension 12 is above the grating sensor 31 and the grating strip 32, part of the protective cover 50 is below the grating sensor 31 and the grating strip 32, and the support beam 40 is on the side of the grating sensor 31 and the grating strip 32 facing the printing head assembly 10, so that the consumables can be blocked in three directions, which is very effective in preventing the consumables from contacting the grating sensor 31 and the grating strip 32.

[0045] In some optional embodiments, the extension 12 is connected with a drag chain mechanism 13, which is located on the side of the support beam 40 away from the printing head assembly 10, and is used to protect cables, oil pipes, gas pipes and other tubular materials and wires.

[0046] The specific structure of the head guide rail 41 can be selected according to actual needs, for example, the head guide rail 41 is a convex rail, and the printing head assembly 10 is in sliding fit with the convex rail through a sliding block, which is not limited to this example.

[0047] The specific structure of the head driving assembly 20 can be selected according to actual needs, for example, the head driving assembly 20 can adopt a screw driving assembly, a rotary motor translation driving assembly, a belt translation driving assembly, a gas cylinder translation driving assembly or a linear motor translation driving assembly, etc.
