Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of label printing technology, specifically to a thermal transfer ribbon assembly for label printing. Background Technology
[0002] Label printing is a technology that prints labels from paper using a printer. It is a commonly used label processing technology nowadays. Compared with traditional label making methods, it can not only quickly and efficiently produce various labels, but also create and design various labels according to the requirements of the customers. The thermal transfer ribbon assembly is one of the important components of the label printer. However, the existing thermal transfer ribbon assemblies for label printing still have some shortcomings, such as insufficient strength of the shaft core, which is prone to cracking, breakage, deformation, etc., which will seriously affect the service life and effect. Moreover, the shaft core does not have a preheating effect, which will affect the printing efficiency. To address these issues, we propose a thermal transfer ribbon assembly for label printing. Utility Model Content
[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a thermal transfer ribbon assembly for label printing to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:
[0005] A thermal transfer ribbon assembly for label printing includes a core, a reinforcing head, and a flexible electric heating plate;
[0006] The shaft core is equipped with reinforcing heads on both the left and right sides, and a snap-fit component is provided at the center of the end of the reinforcing head away from the shaft core. Internal reinforcing ribs are provided at equal intervals around the inner cavity of the shaft core.
[0007] A central rod is horizontally arranged at the center of the inner cavity of the shaft core. A right connecting rod is arranged on the right side of the front end face of the inner cavity of the shaft core, and a left connecting rod is arranged on the left side of the rear end face of the inner cavity of the shaft core. The right connecting rod and the left connecting rod are respectively connected to the left and right sides of the central rod. A flexible electric heating plate is arranged on the outer periphery of the central rod.
[0008] Furthermore: the ends of both the right and left connecting rods near the center rod are bolted to the center rod, and the right and left connecting rods are horizontally positioned.
[0009] Furthermore: both the left and right sides of the outer wall of the shaft core are provided with external threads, and the center of the reinforcing head near the shaft core is provided with an internal thread hole that matches the external threads.
[0010] Furthermore: slots are provided on both the left and right sides of the shaft core, and the shaft core and the center rod are set at the same center point.
[0011] Furthermore: all internal reinforcing ribs are set in a "T" shape, and there are a total of six sets of internal reinforcing ribs, which are arranged horizontally at equal intervals on the inner wall of the shaft core.
[0012] Furthermore: all reinforcing heads are circular, and the outer circumference of each reinforcing head is provided with anti-slip ridges. The reinforcing head and the snap-fit component are integrally formed.
[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0014] This label printing thermal transfer ribbon assembly features multiple sets of internal reinforcing ribs within the shaft core's inner cavity. These ribs are evenly spaced and transversely arranged on the inner wall of the shaft core. This not only increases the structural strength of the shaft core but also extends its service life, preventing deformation and damage. A central rod is installed within the shaft core's inner cavity via a connection between the right and left connecting rods. A flexible electric heating plate is installed on the outer wall of the central rod, allowing for heating of the shaft core's inner cavity from the inside out. This preheating effect increases work efficiency. Attached Figure Description

[0023] Reinforcing heads 2 are provided on both the left and right sides of the shaft core 1. A snap-fit component 3 is provided at the center of the end of the reinforcing head 2 away from the shaft core 1. The shaft core 1 can be connected to the printer through the snap-fit component 3, thereby realizing the synchronous rotation of the shaft core 1 and the printer shaft. Internal reinforcing ribs 4 are provided at equal intervals around the inner cavity of the shaft core 1. The internal reinforcing ribs 4 can strengthen the structural strength of the shaft core 1, making it less prone to damage and thus extending its service life.

A flexible electric heating plate 9 is arranged on the outer periphery of the central rod 5. The central rod 5 can be installed in the inner cavity of the shaft core 1 through the right connecting rod 6 and the left connecting rod 7. Then, the flexible electric heating plate 9 arranged on its outer wall can heat the shaft core 1 from the inside to the outside to achieve the effect of preheating, thereby increasing the effect of heat transfer printing.
[0025] Preferably, bolts are provided between the right connecting rod 6 and the left connecting rod 7 and the center rod 5 at the end near the center rod 5, and the right connecting rod 6 and the left connecting rod 7 are horizontally arranged.
