[0037] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, an auxiliary positioning structure includes a positioning plate 1 for placing the object to be printed, the positioning plate 1 being placed on the printing platform body 4; the positioning plate 1 is recessed downward to form a mounting groove, the bottom of the mounting groove being provided with at least one first scale 11 extending along the X-axis direction and at least one second scale 12 extending along the Y-axis direction, the first scale 11 and the second scale 12 being intersected with each other;

[0038] The mounting groove is also provided with an anti-slip layer 13, which is located above the first scale 11 and the second scale 12.

[0039] In this design, the auxiliary positioning structure typically involves machining a recessed mounting groove in the center of a plate (mostly made of metal). A first scale 11 and a second scale 12 are positioned on the bottom surface of the mounting groove. The first scale 11 extends along the X-axis (front-to-back direction), and the second scale 12 extends along the Y-axis (left-to-right direction). The first scale 11 and the second scale 12 are staggered to provide a positional reference when placing the object to be printed, facilitating centering and alignment measurements. Furthermore, the positioning plate 1 is equipped with an anti-slip layer 13, preventing the object from sliding freely on the positioning plate 1 after positioning. The object can be directly moved into the printer for printing by simply placing it in the appropriate position on the positioning plate 1. The structure is simple and the operation is very convenient.

[0040] In some embodiments, the positioning plate 1 may be provided with a first scale 11 and a second scale 12 that are intersected for positioning; it may also be provided with a first scale 11 and two second scales 12 that are intersected for positioning; or it may be provided with two first scales 11 and a second scale 12 that are intersected for positioning. There are multiple combinations, and the appropriate combination can be selected according to different needs.

[0041] Furthermore, the anti-slip layer 13 is a silicone layer. The silicone anti-slip layer 13 possesses natural viscoelasticity and high frictional resistance. When the object to be printed is placed on the positioning plate 1, the anti-slip layer 13 can adhere to the surface of the object, effectively increasing the adhesion of the contact surface and reducing slippage after positioning. Simultaneously, the silicone layer also has good weather resistance and long-term stability, is not susceptible to UV ink contamination, is easy to clean, and can ensure a long service life for the auxiliary positioning structure.

[0042] Furthermore, the first scale 11 and the second scale 12 are printed on or adhered to the positioning plate 1. In some embodiments, the first scale 11 / second scale 12 can be directly printed on the positioning plate 1, and the scales are fixed in position and not easily displaced, maintaining a long-term effective positioning effect. In other embodiments, the first scale 11 / second scale 12 can also be adhered to the fixing plate using some existing adhesive materials, thus allowing for several combinations of the first scale 11 / second scale 12 with different arrangements, and selecting one combination for positioning according to different usage requirements.

[0043] Furthermore, the positioning plate 1 is made of metal. The metal positioning plate 1 has high strength and high rigidity, and is not easily deformed during use, thus ensuring good positioning accuracy of the object to be printed.

[0044] In particular, such as Figure 3 , Figures 5 to 9 As shown, this utility model also proposes a printing platform, including a protective shell 2;

[0045] The moving mechanism 3 is movably mounted on the protective shell 2;

[0046] The printing platform body 4 is mounted on the moving mechanism 3, and the printing platform body 4 is provided with the aforementioned auxiliary positioning structure.

[0047] The lower end of the positioning plate 1 is provided with a plurality of positioning pins 14, and the printing platform body 4 is provided with a plurality of positioning holes 41 corresponding to the positioning pins 14. During installation, the positioning pins 14 are inserted into the positioning holes 41.

[0048] Alternatively, the lower end of the positioning plate 1 is provided with a plurality of fixing holes 15, and the printing platform body 4 is provided with a plurality of fixing pins 42 corresponding to the fixing holes 15. During installation, the fixing pins 42 are inserted into the fixing holes 15.

[0049] The printing platform includes a printing platform body 4, an auxiliary positioning structure, a moving mechanism 3, and a protective shell 2. The moving mechanism 3 drives the printing platform body 4 and the auxiliary positioning structure to move back and forth to complete printing at different positions on the object to be printed. The moving mechanism 3 is set inside the protective shell 2 to form an independent working space that is not easily affected by external interference.

[0050] In some embodiments, the positioning plate 1 of the auxiliary positioning structure is provided with positioning pins 14 at all four corners, and the corresponding position of the printing platform body 4 is provided with four positioning holes 41. The positioning pins 14 and the positioning holes 41 are used to fix the two. When the auxiliary positioning structure needs to be removed, the positioning plate 1 can be removed directly.

[0051] In another embodiment, fixing holes 15 can be provided at the four corners of the positioning plate 1 of the auxiliary positioning structure, and conversely, four fixing pins 42 are provided at the corresponding positions of the printing platform body 4. The fixing of the two is achieved by the cooperation of the fixing pins 42 and the fixing holes 15.

[0052] Furthermore, such as Figures 8 to 9As shown, the moving mechanism 3 includes a driving component 31, a driving wheel 32, a driven wheel 33, a transmission belt 34, and a fixing component 35. The bottom end of the printing platform body 4 is provided with the connecting component 43. The output end of the driving component 31 passes through the protective shell 2 and is connected to the driving wheel 32. The driven wheel 33 is movably disposed in the protective shell 2 through the fixing frame 21. The driving wheel 32 and the driven wheel 33 are connected by the transmission belt 34. The fixing component 35 is connected to the transmission belt 34. The fixing component 35 and the connecting component 43 are detachably connected.

[0053] In this embodiment, the driving member 31 drives the driving wheel 32 to rotate. Since the driving wheel 32 and the driven wheel 33 are connected by the transmission belt 34 (which may be a belt), when the driving wheel 32 rotates, the transmission belt 34 circulates and the driven wheel 33 also rotates continuously. Since the fixed member 35 is connected to the transmission belt 34 and the connecting member 43 is connected to the fixed member 35, when the transmission belt 34 moves, it will drive the fixed member 35, the connecting member 43 and the printing platform body 4 to move back and forth, so as to realize the normal operation of the printing platform body 4.

[0054] Furthermore, such as Figures 8 to 9 As shown, it also includes a guide mechanism 5, which includes a slide rail 51 and a slider 52. Two slide rails 51 are detachably provided inside the protective shell 2. The lower end of the connector 43 is provided with two rows of sliders 52 spaced apart. Each slider 52 is movably mounted on the slide rail 51.

[0055] In this embodiment, the connection of the connector 43, the fixing part 35 and the printing platform body 4 are guided by the cooperation of two sets of sliders 52 and two sets of guide rails. The structure is simple and the guiding effect is good.

[0056] Furthermore, a limit sensor 6 is also provided inside the protective shell 2. The limit sensor 6 is used to sense the fixing member 35 to limit its movement distance. In this embodiment, in order to avoid excessive movement of the fixing member 35 / printing platform body 4, a limit sensor 6 is provided to limit the movement distance of the fixing member 35 / printing platform body 4. When the fixing member 35 moves to the limit sensor 6, it is sensed by the limit sensor 6. At this time, the controller obtains that the fixing member 35 is at its maximum stroke. Under the control of the controller, the drive member 31 no longer drives the fixing member 35 to continue moving forward, ensuring the normal use of the printing platform body 4.

[0057] Furthermore, the protective shell 2 is also provided with a dust cover 22, and the top of the protective shell 2 is provided with an opening. The dust cover 22 is disposed at the opening, so that there is an movable gap 24 between the two sides of the dust cover 22 and the protective shell 2.

[0058] The connector 43 includes a first connecting arm 431 arranged horizontally. The two ends of the first connecting arm 431 are bent downward to form two second connecting arms 432 respectively. The bottom ends of the two second connecting arms 432 are bent inward horizontally to form two third connecting arms 433. The printing platform body 4 is disposed on the first connecting arm 431. The two second connecting arms 432 are movably disposed within the movable gap 24. The slider 52 is disposed at the lower end of the third connecting arm 433.

[0059] In this embodiment, the dust cover 22 and the protective shell 2 enclose an installation space, providing good dust protection. The moving mechanism 3 and the guiding mechanism 5 are both located within this installation space, making them less susceptible to external influences and ensuring a longer service life. A movable gap 24 exists between the dust cover 22 and the protective shell 2 on both sides, allowing the connector 43 to move freely. The specially shaped connector 43 includes a horizontal first connecting arm 431, two vertical second connecting arms 432, and two horizontal third connecting arms 433. The first connecting arm 431 connects to the printing platform body 4, and the lower ends of the two third connecting arms 433 are each equipped with a slider 52. The connector 43 connects the printing platform body 4 and the slider 52, providing good guidance during movement of the printing platform body 4 / connector 43. The two sides of the fixing member 35 are detachably fixed to the two third connecting arms 433.

[0060] Furthermore, the driving component 31 is a motor. Using a motor to provide the driving force for the rotation of the drive wheel 32 has the advantage of high movement accuracy, making it suitable for high-frequency operation scenarios. At the same time, the motor is relatively small in size, which will not excessively increase the size of the printing platform body 4, and the motor has fewer wear parts inside, resulting in a longer service life.

[0061] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and does not limit the patent scope of the present utility model. All equivalent structural transformations made under the inventive concept of the present utility model using the contents of the present utility model specification and drawings, or direct / indirect applications in other related technical fields, are included within the patent protection scope of the present utility model.
