Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of packaging equipment, and in particular to a coding machine with a flattening function. Background Technology
[0002] During the production of medicated patches, various production information needs to be printed on the surface of the patch packaging. Therefore, inkjet printers are usually used. An inkjet printer is a device used to print information such as date, batch number, serial number, trademark, and barcode on products or packaging to ensure the traceability and compliance of product information.
[0003] Currently available inkjet printers typically require the item to be printed to be placed on a conveyor belt, which then transports the item to the printing position. Once the item is in the printing position, the inkjet printer prints the item, and then the item is discharged via the conveyor belt. However, existing devices have difficulty intercepting and positioning the item during printing, and the item's position is prone to deviation, resulting in insufficient printing accuracy.
[0004] Therefore, to address the aforementioned issues, a new inkjet printer with a flattening function has been developed, capable of intercepting and locating items, adjusting their position, and improving coding accuracy. Utility Model Content
[0005] To overcome the shortcomings of existing devices that are difficult to intercept and position items during coding, resulting in poor coding accuracy due to item position deviation, this utility model provides a coding machine with a flattening function that can intercept and position items, adjust item position, and improve coding accuracy.
[0006] The technical solution is as follows: A coding machine with a flattening function includes a first support frame, a conveyor belt, a second support frame, an ink tank, a sensor, a display screen, an ink supply tube, an inkjet head, and a positioning mechanism. A conveyor belt is located at the front of the first support frame, and a second support frame is located behind it. The ink tank is connected to the rear left side of the second support frame, and a sensor is connected to the left side of the middle section of the second support frame. A display screen is connected to the upper front side of the second support frame. Both the display screen and the sensor are connected to the ink tank. An ink supply tube is connected to the ink tank, and an inkjet head is connected to the end of the ink supply tube. The conveyor belt transports the item to be coded. After the item is transported to the middle of the conveyor belt, the sensor detects and identifies the position of the item to check for any deviation. Then, ink is supplied to the inkjet head through the ink supply tube, and the ink is printed onto the item through the inkjet head. The second support frame is equipped with a positioning mechanism for intercepting and positioning the item on the conveyor belt.
[0007] To further explain, the positioning mechanism includes a first electric push rod and a fixing baffle. The first electric push rod is connected to the upper part of the second support frame. The fixing baffle is connected to the telescopic end of the first electric push rod. The first electric push rod is electrically connected to a sensor. After the sensor identifies an item, it controls the telescopic end of the first electric push rod to move the fixing baffle downward until it contacts the conveyor belt. Thus, the fixing baffle intercepts and positions the item and adjusts the angle of the item.
[0008] To further explain, the positioning mechanism also includes a second electric push rod and a directional push plate. The second electric push rod is connected to the front side of the middle of the second support frame. The directional push plate is connected to the telescopic end of the second electric push rod. The second electric push rod is electrically connected to the sensor. After the sensor identifies the item, it simultaneously controls the telescopic end of the second electric push rod to drive the directional push plate forward, thereby adjusting the position of the item on the conveyor belt through the directional push plate, so as to avoid the item's position deviation from causing insufficient coding accuracy.
[0009] To further explain, it also includes a third support frame, which is connected to the right side of the second support frame.
[0010] Further explanation: It also includes a flattening mechanism, which comprises a third electric push rod, a mounting component, a flattening frame, and torsion springs. The third electric push rod is connected to the upper part of the third support frame. The mounting component is connected to the telescopic end of the third electric push rod. The inkjet head is connected to the mounting component. Multiple flattening frames are rotatably connected to the mounting component. Each flattening frame is connected to the mounting component by a torsion spring. When the positioned item is conveyed to below the inkjet head, the telescopic end of the third electric push rod drives the mounting component to move downwards. The movement of the mounting component causes the flattening frame to contact the item. As the mounting component continues to move downwards, the flattening frame rotates and unfolds, causing the torsion spring to deform under force. This flattens the item, preventing unevenness of the item surface from affecting the printing effect. Simultaneously, the movement of the mounting component drives the inkjet head downwards, bringing it closer to the item and performing the coding operation.
[0011] To further explain, the lower part of the flat display frame has an arc-shaped structure.
[0012] The beneficial effects are as follows: 1. This utility model controls the extension and retraction end of the first electric push rod to drive the fixed baffle to move downward, and at the same time controls the extension and retraction end of the second electric push rod to drive the directional push plate to move forward. By adjusting the angle and position of the item through the fixed baffle and the directional push plate, the item can be intercepted and positioned, the item position can be adjusted, and the inkjet printing accuracy can be improved.
[0013] 2. This utility model uses the telescopic end of the third electric push rod to move the mounting component. The movement of the mounting component causes the flat rack to come into contact with the item, and the flat rack rotates and unfolds. This achieves the effect of flattening the item through the flat rack, avoiding the effect of uneven surface of the item affecting the printing quality. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation
[0021] The technical solution of this utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0022] A type of inkjet printer with a flattening function, such as Figures 1-6As shown, the system includes a first support frame 1, a conveyor belt 11, a second support frame 12, an ink tank 13, a sensor 14, a display screen 15, an ink supply tube 16, an inkjet head 17, and a positioning mechanism 2. The conveyor belt 11 is located at the front of the first support frame 1, and the second support frame 12 is located behind it. The ink tank 13 is connected to the rear left side of the second support frame 12, and the sensor 14 is connected to the left side of the middle of the second support frame 12. The display screen 15 is connected to the upper front side of the second support frame 12. Both the display screen 15 and the sensor 14 are connected to the ink tank 13. The ink tank 13 is connected to an ink supply tube 16, and the end of the ink supply tube 16 is connected to an inkjet head 17. The item to be printed is transported by the conveyor belt 11. After the item is transported to the middle of the conveyor belt 11, the position of the item is detected by the sensor 14 to detect whether there is a deviation in the position of the item. Then, the ink is transported to the inkjet head 17 through the ink supply tube 16, and the ink is printed onto the item through the inkjet head 17. The second support frame 12 is provided with a positioning mechanism 2 for intercepting and positioning the item on the conveyor belt 11.
[0023] The positioning mechanism 2 includes a first electric push rod 21 and a fixing baffle 22. The first electric push rod 21 is connected to the upper part of the second support frame 12. The fixing baffle 22 is connected to the telescopic end of the first electric push rod 21. The first electric push rod 21 is electrically connected to the sensor 14. After the sensor 14 identifies the item, it controls the telescopic end of the first electric push rod 21 to drive the fixing baffle 22 to move downward until it contacts the conveyor belt 11. Thus, the fixing baffle 22 intercepts and positions the item and adjusts the angle of the item.
[0024] The positioning mechanism 2 also includes a second electric push rod 23 and a directional push plate 24. The second electric push rod 23 is connected to the front side of the middle of the second support frame 12. The directional push plate 24 is connected to the telescopic end of the second electric push rod 23. The second electric push rod 23 is electrically connected to the sensor 14. After the sensor 14 identifies the item, it controls the telescopic end of the second electric push rod 23 to drive the directional push plate 24 to move forward. The directional push plate 24 adjusts the position of the item on the conveyor belt 11 to avoid the item's position deviation from causing insufficient coding accuracy.
[0025] It also includes a third support frame 18, and the right side of the second support frame 12 is connected to the third support frame 18;
[0026] It also includes a flattening mechanism 3, which includes a third electric push rod 31, a mounting component 32, a flattening frame 33, and a torsion spring 34. The third electric push rod 31 is connected to the upper part of the third support frame 18. The mounting component 32 is connected to the telescopic end of the third electric push rod 31. The inkjet head 17 is connected to the mounting component 32. Two flattening frames 33 are rotatably connected to the mounting component 32. Each flattening frame 33 is connected to the mounting component 32 by a torsion spring 34. When the item with the position adjusted is transported to below the inkjet head 17, the telescopic end of the third electric push rod 31 drives the mounting component 32 to move downward. The movement of the mounting component 32 causes the flattening frame 33 to contact the item. When the mounting component 32 continues to move downward, the flattening frame 33 rotates and unfolds. The torsion spring 34 is deformed by the force, thereby flattening the item through the flattening frame 33 to avoid the unevenness of the item surface affecting the printing effect. The movement of the mounting component 32 also drives the inkjet head 17 to move downward, bringing it closer to the item and performing the coding operation on the item.
[0027] In use, this invention first needs to be installed in the operating area. Then, the item to be printed is placed on the conveyor belt 11. The conveyor belt 11 transports the item. After the item is transported to the middle of the conveyor belt 11, the sensor 14 detects and identifies the item's position to check for any deviation. Next, the telescopic end of the first electric push rod 21 is controlled to move the fixing baffle 22 downwards until it contacts the conveyor belt 11. The fixing baffle 22 intercepts and positions the item, adjusting its angle. Simultaneously, the telescopic end of the second electric push rod 23 moves the directional push plate 24 forward, adjusting the item's position on the conveyor belt 11 to prevent positional deviations that could lead to insufficient printing accuracy. After the item's position is adjusted, the telescopic end of the first electric push rod 21 moves the fixing baffle 22 upwards to reset it, moving it away from the conveyor belt 11. Simultaneously, the telescopic end of the second electric push rod 23 moves the fixing baffle 22 upwards, resetting it and moving it away from the conveyor belt 11. The telescopic end of the third electric push rod 31 drives the directional push plate 24 to move backward and reset. When the item with the adjusted position is transported to below the inkjet head 17, the telescopic end of the third electric push rod 31 drives the mounting part 32 to move downward. The movement of the mounting part 32 causes the flattening frame 33 to contact the item. When the mounting part 32 continues to move downward, the flattening frame 33 rotates and unfolds. The torsion spring 34 is deformed by force, thereby flattening the item through the flattening frame 33 to avoid unevenness of the item surface affecting the printing effect. At the same time, the movement of the mounting part 32 drives the inkjet head 17 to move downward, bringing it closer to the item. The ink is transported to the inkjet head 17 through the ink supply tube 16, and the ink is printed onto the item through the inkjet head 17. After the printing is completed, the telescopic end of the third electric push rod 31 drives the mounting part 32 to move upward and reset, thereby moving the flattening frame 33 and the inkjet head 17 away from the item. The torsion spring 34 rebounds and drives the flattening frame 33 to rotate and reset. Finally, the item is discharged by the conveyor belt 11.
