[0028] The embodiments of this utility model will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. The following examples are for illustrative purposes only and should not be construed as limiting the scope of this utility model.

[0029] Example 1: As shown in the attached document Figure 1 To be continued Figure 6As shown: This utility model provides a double-sided printing paper feeding mechanism, including a paper feeding mechanism 1, a printing mechanism 3, a lower paper feeding mechanism 4, a flipping compartment 5, and an upper paper output mechanism 6;

[0030] A paper feeding mechanism 1 and a printing mechanism 3 are connected by a correction mechanism 2; a printing module is installed above the transmission section of the printing mechanism 3; and a post-printing paper output mechanism 7 is connected to the paper output end of the printing mechanism 3.

[0031] The paper feed mechanism 4 is installed below the paper output end of the printing mechanism 3, and a lower flap 401 is installed between the paper feed mechanism 4 and the printing mechanism 3. The top surface of the lower flap 401 is connected to the post-printing paper output mechanism 7 and the paper output end of the printing mechanism 3.

[0032] The paper feeding mechanism 4 includes a paper path tilting structure 403; the paper feed end of the tilting chamber 5 is connected to the paper output end of the paper feeding mechanism 4, and a tilting component is installed inside the tilting chamber 5, which controls and adjusts the paper feeding direction;

[0033] The upper paper output mechanism 6 has a rotating flip plate 601 mounted on the paper input end, and the flip plate 601 is located at the connection between the lower paper feed mechanism 4 and the flip chamber 5; the lower flip plate 401 and the flip plate 601 are both controlled to rotate by a controller, a photoelectric sensor and an electromagnet.

[0034] The paper feeding mechanism 1 is equipped with an upward-flipping outlet 102. A waste rejection flap 101 is installed between the upward-flipping outlet 102 and the paper feeding mechanism 1. The waste rejection flap 101 is controlled to rotate by a controller, a photoelectric sensor and an electromagnet.

[0035] The paper path 201 is connected to the paper feeding mechanism 1 via the paper correction mechanism 2.

[0036] The printing mechanism 3 includes a printing suction belt 301 and a drying suction belt 302.

[0037] The workflow is as follows:

[0038] ① Paper feeding: The paper feeding mechanism 1 consists of a waste rejection flap 101, an upward flip outlet 102, and an overall paper path adjustment mechanism. The paper is supplied by the paper feeder and enters the paper feeding mechanism 1. The waste rejection detection sensor in front of the waste rejection flap 101 is detected immediately and sends a signal to the detected double sheets or waste paper. After receiving the signal, the waste rejection flap 101 will be flipped upward at a set angle by the controller so that the paper enters the waste rejection outlet. After the waste is rejected, a waste rejection completion signal is sent. At this time, the front paper feeder will be re-issued paper by the controller.

[0039] ②Correction: The correction mechanism 2 consists of three sets of pressure rollers; when the paper enters the circulating paper path smoothly, the correction mechanism 2 will detect the skewness and position of the paper at the paper path 201 before correction, and transmit the detection results into the controller. At this time, the correction mechanism 2 will adjust the position accordingly to ensure that the paper entering the printing mechanism is within a reasonable printing range. After the paper passes, the correction mechanism 2 will reset.

[0040] ③ Printing: The printing mechanism 3 consists of a printing suction belt 301, a drying suction belt 302, and a printing module above the printing mechanism 3; when the paper that has been corrected enters the printing suction belt 301, the printing suction belt 301 fixes the paper on the belt and sends it to the bottom of the printing module for printing.

[0041] ④ Drying: The paper after passing through the printing suction belt 301 is fed into the drying suction belt 302 for drying. Because this machine uses water-based ink printing, the ink on the surface of the paper will not be completely dried after passing through the printing suction belt 301 at high speed. If it enters the paper feeding mechanism at 4, the ink on the paper will be scratched.

[0042] ⑤ Flip: This machine needs to print on both sides of the paper. After the paper has been printed and dried, only one side is printed, so the paper needs to be fed down to flip the paper over.

[0043] The lower paper feeding mechanism 4 consists of a lower flap 401 and a flipping paper path structure 403. The paper enters the lower paper feeding mechanism 4 from the lower flap 401 and is transported by pressure rollers at reasonable intervals. The pressure rollers are powered by a motor and belt, so that the paper is driven within a reasonable position and enters the flipping chamber 5 and is then transported in the opposite direction to the upper paper output mechanism 6. The paper position is controlled by the belt pressure rollers throughout the entire process.

[0044] ⑥ After printing is completed, the paper is output: After the paper has gone through the paper path, it goes back into the correction mechanism 2 and is corrected, printed and dried again. The whole process is considered the whole process of a product. After the whole process is completed, the paper is transported from the drying suction belt 302 to the post-printing paper output mechanism 7.

[0045] ⑦ Loop, termination condition: no paper on the platform or manual shutdown.

[0046] Example 2: Based on Example 1, the flipping assembly includes a support frame 507, a flipping motor 504, a rotating frame 508, a second rubber roller 502, and a first rubber roller 503. The support frame 507 is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the flipping chamber 5. A first rotating rod 1501 is rotatably installed on the support frame 507. The rotating frame 508 is fixedly connected to the first rotating rod 1501. The flipping motor 504 is installed on the rear end face of the rotating frame 508. The output end of the flipping motor 504 extends to the front end face of the rotating frame 508. The second rubber roller 502 and the first rubber roller 503 are rotatably installed on the inner wall of the rotating frame 508. A forward transmission assembly is installed between the flipping motor 504 and the first rubber roller 503. A reverse transmission assembly is installed between the forward transmission assembly and the second rubber roller 502. The forward transmission assembly drives the first rubber roller 503 to rotate forward, and the reverse transmission assembly drives the second rubber roller 502 to rotate in the reverse direction. The flipping motor 504 is installed close to the first rubber roller 503.

[0047] The forward transmission assembly includes a first synchronous pulley 8, a first synchronous belt 9, and a second synchronous pulley 10. A first rubber roller 503 passes through a rotating frame 508, and the first synchronous pulley 8 is installed at one end of the first rubber roller 503. A transmission rod 1001 is installed through the inner wall of the rotating frame 508, and the second synchronous pulley 10 is installed at one end of the transmission rod 1001. The flipping motor 504 synchronously drives the first synchronous pulley 8 and the second synchronous pulley 10 through the first synchronous belt 9.

[0048] The reverse transmission assembly includes a third synchronous pulley 11, a fourth synchronous pulley 12, a driving gear 13, a driven gear 14, and a second synchronous belt 17. A second rubber roller 502 passes through a rotating frame 508. The fourth synchronous pulley 12 is installed at one end of the second rubber roller 502, and the driving gear 13 is installed at the other end of the transmission rod 1001. The axle of the third synchronous pulley 11 passes through the rotating frame 508, and the driven gear 14 is installed at the end of the axle of the third synchronous pulley 11. The driving gear 13 meshes with the driven gear 14. The second synchronous belt 17 is installed between the third synchronous pulley 11 and the fourth synchronous pulley 12.

[0049] Several photoelectric sensors are installed on the top wall of the tilting chamber 5. A first electromagnet 505 is rotatably installed on the bottom side of the tilting chamber 5, and a first traction rod 15 is rotatably installed between the first electromagnet 505 and the first rotating rod 1501.

[0050] The flip motor 504 drives the first synchronous belt 9, which in turn drives the first synchronous pulley 8 and the second synchronous pulley 10 to rotate. The first synchronous pulley 8 drives the first rubber roller 503 to rotate clockwise, providing initial transmission power. The power of the flip motor 504 is transmitted to the driving gear 13 through the transmission rod 1001, which drives the third synchronous pulley 11 through the driven gear 14, and then drives the fourth synchronous pulley 12 to rotate counterclockwise through the second synchronous belt 17, ultimately driving the second rubber roller 502 to rotate in the opposite direction. The flip motor 504 is installed at the rear end of the rotating frame 508. The offset center of gravity design allows the rotating frame 508 to move down quickly when the first electromagnet 505 is de-energized and reset, switching the position of the two rubber rollers.

[0051] As can be seen from the above, the paper is fed into the tilting chamber 5 by the paper feeding mechanism 4. The paper is held by the pressure rollers in the tilting chamber 5 and fed into the tilting chamber 5 by the power of the tilting motor 504. The pressure rollers ensure that the paper is flat and without deviation. When the paper enters the tilting chamber 5, it blocks the light path of the photoelectric sensor. The photoelectric sensor sends a high-level signal to the controller. The controller sends a signal to the first electromagnet 505 to generate positive and negative voltages. The first traction rod 15 pushes the first rotating rod 1501 to deflect, thereby controlling the rotating frame 508 to rotate in reverse. This causes the first rubber roller 503 to disengage from the paper, and the second rubber roller 502 to move down and contact the paper to generate friction. At this time, the paper transmission direction changes and it is discharged through the paper inlet of the tilting chamber 5.

Other structures can refer to the general design. In the absence of conflict, the same embodiment and different embodiments of this utility model can be combined with each other.

Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
