The lateral transmission motor 21 is installed on the lower mounting plate 18. A pulley 2-20 is installed at one end of the lateral transmission motor. The pulley 2-20 is connected to the double pulley 19. The lateral transmission motor drives the double pulley to rotate through the pulley 2-2.

[0039] Furthermore, the transverse guide rail is provided with a through hole 6, and a second synchronous belt 32 is provided in the through hole 6. The second synchronous belt connects a third pulley 9 and a double pulley 19. The printer head mounting seat 2 is installed on the transverse guide rail. The printer head mounting seat is connected to the second synchronous belt. The double gear drives the printer head mounting seat to move along the transverse guide rail through the second synchronous belt.

[0040] Furthermore, the longitudinal moving mechanism includes a longitudinal transmission motor 10, a transmission rod 11, a longitudinal guide rail 12, a longitudinal guide rail 2 15, and a slider 14. Both ends of the longitudinal guide rail 12 and the longitudinal guide rail 2 15 are equipped with pulleys (not shown).

[0050] Example 2: Figure 11 As shown, the rotary motor, gear ring structure, gear ring mounting base, and rotary gear are redesigned. A reduction mechanism is installed on the rotary motor, the gear ring structure is designed as an external gear ring, and the bracket mounting plate is installed on the gear ring structure. The rotary motor drives the gear ring structure and the bracket mounting plate to rotate through the reduction mechanism.

[0051] During printing, the operator lays or places the object on the tray. The rotary motor drives the gear ring structure, bracket mounting plate, tray bracket, and tray to rotate at a certain angle via a rotary gear. When the tray moves to the set position (usually the lower end of the horizontal guide rail) or the motor rotates a certain number of times, the rotary motor stops working. Then, the print head moves along the horizontal guide rail, vertical guide rail one, and vertical guide rail two under the action of the vertical drive motor and horizontal drive motor. During the movement, the print head completes the printing operation on the object on the tray. After printing is completed, the print head resets, and then the rotary motor drives the tray to move. The next tray carrying the object moves to the position of the tray where the printed object is located, thus completing the printing operation for the next object. This process is repeated.

[0052] like Figure 8-10 As shown, during implementation, the rotating transport mechanism can be configured with different numbers of workstations, such as three, four, or six.

[0053] like Figure 12 As shown, install the printer head onto the printer head mounting bracket.

[0054] The above are merely specific embodiments of this utility model, but the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any changes or substitutions conceived without inventive effort should be included within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model should be determined by the scope defined in the claims.
