AI Technical Summary
When using existing UV inkjet printers, friction between the inkjet print parts and the conveyor belt prevents smooth material feeding, affecting inkjet printing efficiency.
The modular UV inkjet printer uses a drive motor to move a teardrop-shaped pusher block to push a stop lever. A return spring then slides the movable block, allowing the inkjet print to fall into the feeding port through a slot, ensuring smooth feeding. At the same time, a correction component and a return spring are used to adjust the position of the inkjet print on the conveyor belt to prevent friction jamming.
It achieves smooth feeding and center alignment of the inkjet-printed parts, improves inkjet printing efficiency, and avoids unnecessary troubles caused by friction.

Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of UV inkjet printing technology, specifically a modular UV inkjet printer. Background Technology
[0002] UV inkjet, short for ultraviolet curing digital inkjet, refers to inks that are formed and dried using ultraviolet light of different wavelengths and energies under ultraviolet irradiation. UV-cured inks have better mechanical and chemical properties. They do not require solvents, dry quickly, consume less energy, and produce inks with good gloss, durability, and vibrant colors. They are also water- and solvent-resistant, scratch-resistant, and abrasion-resistant, making them suitable for high-resolution, high-speed printing. Furthermore, UV inkjet can print on any non-absorbent, organic or inorganic material, cures quickly, and is completely non-toxic after curing. The use of UV inkjet has become a new trend in coding equipment.
[0003] For example, Chinese Patent Publication No. CN222061582U discloses the following technical solution: This utility model discloses a variable coding UV inkjet printer, including a coding frame and a variable coding inkjet printer. A servo motor is fixedly installed on one side of the coding frame, and a support partition is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the coding frame. A conveyor belt is sleeved on the outer surface of the support partition. The beneficial effect of this utility model is that the coding parts are first stacked inside the stacking frame. The stacked coding parts are continuously conveyed by opening the conveyor device. When the coding parts pass through two arc-shaped limiting plates, the conveyed coding parts can be centered and aligned. After alignment, they are conveyed to the bottom of the coding assembly. At this time, the variable coding inkjet printer set in the coding assembly can automatically code the coding parts. The structure is reasonable, which facilitates the automatic conveying of coding parts for coding. The reasonable structure can improve the coding efficiency.
[0004] The existing technology has the following problems:
[0005] 1. In existing UV inkjet printers, the bottom inkjet printer is pushed off the palletizing frame by pushers on the conveyor belt. After being detached, the second inkjet printer automatically falls, and so on, so that the inkjet printers can automatically feed and transport the palletized inkjet printers. However, in actual use, the bottom inkjet printer will rub against the upper surface of the conveyor belt, which may cause the inkjet printer to be carried away by the conveyor belt. This makes it impossible to achieve a rhythmic feeding effect and causes a lot of unnecessary trouble for the staff. Utility Model Content
[0006] In view of the problems in the related technologies, this utility model proposes a modular UV inkjet printer to overcome the above-mentioned technical problems existing in the existing related technologies.
[0007] Therefore, the specific technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0013] A further improvement of the present invention is that: a sliding groove is provided at one end of the feeding box, the sliding groove is connected to the movable groove, and the stop bar is slidably connected inside the sliding groove.
[0014] A further improvement of this utility model is that: a connecting frame is fixedly connected to one side of the feeding box, the drive motor is fixedly connected inside the connecting frame, and the teardrop-shaped push block is located on one side of the stop bar.
[0015] Using the above technical solution, the drive motor can drive the teardrop-shaped push block to rotate around the output shaft of the drive motor, thereby causing the teardrop-shaped push block to push the stop bar to slide inside the sliding groove, and then drive the movable block to slide inside the movable groove.

[0018] Using the above technical solution, the correction frame is used to adjust the inkjet printer on the conveyor belt to ensure that the inkjet printer can be in the center position of the conveyor belt, which facilitates subsequent inkjet printing. The first reset spring can buffer the correction frame so that the inkjet printer and the correction frame will not be squeezed and stuck due to friction when they come into contact, thus ensuring a certain degree of smoothness.

[0021] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0022] 1. The drive motor drives the teardrop-shaped push block to rotate, which in turn pushes the stop bar to slide the movable block.

Then, the drive motor 4 drives the teardrop-shaped pusher block 401 to rotate around the output shaft of the drive motor 4. This causes the teardrop-shaped pusher block 401 to push the stop lever 502, which in turn causes the movable block 5 to slide in the movable groove 303 and stretch the second return spring 503. At this time, the coding component is placed inside the receiving groove 501, and it falls through the slot 304 into the discharge port 302, and then onto the conveyor belt 101. At this time, the teardrop-shaped pusher block 401 will... Rotating downwards, no longer applying pushing force to the stop lever 502, the second reset spring 503 can drive the movable block 5 to return to its original position, causing the receiving groove 501 to move below the storage rack 306, and the second inkjet printer part will fall into the receiving groove 501, and then be used for the next feeding, and so on to carry out the feeding operation. After the inkjet printer part falls onto the conveyor belt 101, it will be carried by the conveyor belt 101 to move between the two straightening frames 201. Under the correction of the straightening frame 201, the inkjet printer part will be placed at the center position of the conveyor belt 101, and finally move to the bottom of the inkjet printer body 105 to complete the inkjet printing.
