Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of drawing equipment technology, and more specifically, to a drawing instrument for architectural decoration design. Background Technology

[0002] Architectural drawing plotters are usually large in size and have a complex structure. They are generally composed of the following key parts: (1) Print head: A high-precision print head can accurately control the spraying of ink or pigment to achieve high-quality line drawing and color presentation. For example, the print head of some large-format plotters can print thousands of ink dots per inch, ensuring the delicacy of the lines and the clarity of the graphics; (2) Paper feeding system: It has a powerful and stable paper feeding capability and can adapt to different specifications and materials of paper, from common A3 and A4 paper to large-format roll paper with a width of up to 24 inches, 36 inches or even larger; The paper feeding process is smooth, ensuring the accuracy of the drawing; (3) Control system: It receives and processes design files through a computer connection. Users can set the drawing parameters in detail in the computer software, such as line color, thickness, drawing speed, etc. In terms of appearance, the plotter is similar to a large printer. It usually has a paper feed area and a paper output area. There are some basic control buttons on the operation panel for starting, pausing, canceling tasks and other operations.

[0003] In the existing technology, the clarity of the drawing and the smoothness of drawing long drawings cannot be guaranteed during the use of drawing equipment; therefore, we have made improvements to this and proposed a drawing instrument for architectural decoration design. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the problem that current drawing equipment designs cannot guarantee the clarity of drawings and the smoothness of drawing long diagrams.

[0005] To achieve the above-mentioned objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0006] A plotter for architectural decoration design to improve the above-mentioned problems.

[0007] The application is as follows:

[0008] A plotter for architectural decoration design includes a plotter and a plotting board. A cardboard is provided between the plotter and the plotting board. Plotting shafts are provided at both ends of the plotting board. Plotting paper is wound around the outer end of the plotting shafts. A top plate is provided at the lower end of the cardboard. A top rod is provided at the lower end of the top plate. A toothed rod is provided at the outer end of the top rod. A sliding rod is provided at the lower end of the toothed rod. A sliding cylinder is provided at the outer end of the sliding rod. A linkage gear is provided at the outer end of the toothed rod. A rotating shaft is provided at the center of the linkage gear. An inner bevel gear is provided at the rear end of the rotating shaft. An outer bevel gear is provided at the outer end of the inner bevel gear. A rotating plate is provided at the outer end of the outer bevel gear.

[0009] As a preferred technical solution of this application, the lower end of the cardboard is fixedly connected to the top plate, the lower end of the top plate is fixedly connected to the top rod, and the lower end of the top rod is fixedly connected to the slide rod.

[0010] As a preferred technical solution of this application, the slide rod slides up and down along the slide cylinder, the outer end of the push rod is fixedly connected to the rack, and the outer end of the rack is meshed with the linkage gear.

[0011] As a preferred technical solution of this application, the center of the linkage gear is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft, the outer end of the rotating shaft is fixedly connected to the inner bevel gear, the outer end of the inner bevel gear is meshed with the outer bevel gear, and the outer bevel gear is fixed to the inner end of the rotating plate.

[0012] As a preferred technical solution of this application, the transfer plate is fixedly connected to the rear end of the plotter, and the transfer plate is movably connected to the plotting plate, with the plotting paper passing between the cardboard and the plotter.

[0013] As a preferred technical solution of this application, the drawing paper is wound around the drawing shafts at both ends.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0015] In the scheme of this application:

[0016] Through a unique mechanical linkage structure, when the plotter rotates along the plotting board, it can automatically bring the plotting paper close to the plotter. Specifically, the rotating plate drives the outer bevel gear to rotate, and through a series of gear transmissions (the outer bevel gear meshing with the inner bevel gear, the linkage gear cooperating with the rack, etc.), the top rod lifts the top plate, pushing the paperboard upward, thereby tightly adhering the plotting paper to the plotter, reducing the gap between the plotting paper and the plotter during the plotting process, avoiding blurry plots caused by paper shaking or distance issues, and significantly improving the clarity of the plot.

[0017] When drawing long diagrams, the drawing paper automatically winds up to the right during the drawing process. This automatic winding function is achieved through precise control of the plotter and the drawing axes at both ends by the computer system. As the drawing paper is continuously drawn, the right-end drawing axis rotates and winds the paper in a timely manner according to system instructions, ensuring that there is always suitable paper available for drawing in the drawing area. This eliminates the need for frequent manual adjustments to the drawing paper position, greatly improving the efficiency and convenience of long diagram drawing and reducing errors and interference that may be caused by manual operation.

All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this utility model without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments, features, and technical solutions in the embodiments of this utility model can be combined with each other.

[0027] It should be noted that similar labels and letters in the following figures indicate similar items. Therefore, once an item is defined in one figure, it does not need to be further defined and explained in subsequent figures.

[0028] like Figure 1-5As shown, this embodiment proposes a plotter for architectural decoration design, including a plotter 1 and a plotting board 2. A cardboard 3 is provided between the plotter 1 and the plotting board 2. Plotting shafts 4 are provided at both ends of the plotting board 2. Plotting paper 5 is wound around the outer end of the plotting shafts 4. A top plate 15 is provided at the lower end of the cardboard 3. A top rod 14 is provided at the lower end of the top plate 15. A toothed rod 11 is provided at the outer end of the top rod 14. A sliding rod 12 is provided at the lower end of the toothed rod 11. A sliding cylinder 13 is provided at the outer end of the sliding rod 12. A linkage gear 10 is provided at the outer end of the toothed rod 11. A rotating shaft 9 is provided at the center of the linkage gear 10. An inner bevel gear 8 is provided at the rear end of the rotating shaft 9. An outer bevel gear 7 is provided at the outer end of the inner bevel gear 8. A rotating plate 6 is provided at the outer end of the outer bevel gear 7.

[0029] The lower end of the cardboard 3 is fixedly connected to the top plate 15. The lower end of the top plate 15 is fixedly connected to the top rod 14. The lower end of the top rod 14 is fixedly connected to the slide rod 12. The slide rod 12 slides up and down along the slide cylinder 13. The outer end of the top rod 14 is fixedly connected to the toothed rod 11. The outer end of the toothed rod 11 is meshed with the linkage gear 10. The center of the linkage gear 10 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 9. The outer end of the rotating shaft 9 is fixedly connected to the inner bevel gear 8. The outer end of the inner bevel gear 8 is meshed with the outer bevel gear 7. The outer bevel gear 7 is fixed to the inner end of the rotating plate 6. The rotating plate 6 is fixedly connected to the rear end of the plotter 1. The rotating plate 6 is movably connected to the drawing board 2. The drawing paper 5 passes between the cardboard 3 and the plotter 1. The drawing paper 5 is wound around the drawing shafts 4 at both ends.

[0030] When a portion of the drawing on the drawing paper 5 on the cardboard 3 is completed, and the drawing paper 5 needs to be rotated and curled via the drawing shaft 4 at the right end to continue drawing on the longer drawing on the cardboard 3, the entire system operates according to the following steps:

[0031] (1) The computer system issues an instruction: The computer system detects that the current part of the drawing paper 5 has been completed. According to the preset program logic, it sends a start signal to the motor drive module that controls the rotation of the drawing axis 4. The signal contains parameters such as rotation direction (clockwise, so that the right end of the drawing axis 4 can curl the drawing paper 5) and rotation speed. These parameters are preset based on factors such as the progress of drawing, the drawing speed of the plotter 1 and the overall planning of long drawing.

[0032] (2) Motor drive module response: After receiving the instruction from the computer system, the motor drive module processes and amplifies the electrical signal and converts it into current and voltage signals suitable for driving the motor of the drawing axis 4. This module ensures that the motor can move on the left and right drawing axes 4 as required by the instruction, and pass between the plotter 1 and the drawing board 2. During the process of the right drawing axis 4 curling the drawing paper 5, the left drawing axis 4 releases the drawing paper 5 accordingly, ensuring that the drawing paper 5 always remains taut in the drawing area and does not become loose or wrinkled, thus providing a flat drawing surface for the plotter 1 to continue drawing long pictures on the cardboard 3.

[0033] (5) Feedback and monitoring: During the process of curling the drawing paper 5, the system will monitor the rotation of the drawing axis 4 in real time. The sensors (such as encoders) installed on the drawing axis 4 or the transmission device will feed back the rotation angle, speed and other information of the drawing axis 4 to the computer system. The computer system will compare and analyze these feedback information with the preset curling parameters. If the actual curling situation is found to be different from the preset value, the output signal of the motor drive module will be adjusted in time to fine-tune the rotation of the drawing axis 4 to ensure the accuracy and stability of the curling of the drawing paper 5, so as to meet the needs of continuous drawing of long drawings.

[0034] In use, the drawing paper 5 is fitted onto the drawing shaft 4 on the left end, and the end of the drawing paper 5 is passed between the plotter 1 and the drawing board 2 and wound around the drawing shaft 4 on the right end. The plotter 1 is then rotated along the drawing board 2 via the rotating plate 6. During this process, the outer bevel gear 7 located in the center of the rotating plate 6 meshes with the inner bevel gear 8 on the drawing board 2, causing the inner bevel gear 8 to rotate. When the inner bevel gear 8 rotates, it drives the centrally connected rotating shaft 9 to rotate. The rotation of the rotating shaft 9 drives the linkage gear 10 at the outer end of the rotating shaft 9 to rotate. The rotating gear 10 drives the gear 11, which is meshed with the outer end, to move upward. The upward movement of the gear 11 is limited by the sliding rod 12 within the sliding cylinder 13. The upward movement of the gear 11 drives the top rod 14 to lift the top plate 15, pushing the cardboard 3 on the upper end of the top plate 15 upward, bringing the drawing paper 5 closer to the plotter 1, improving the clarity of the drawing. When drawing long drawings, the drawing paper 5 can automatically roll to the right during the drawing process. During the rolling process, the plotter 1 and the drawing axes 4 at both ends are controlled by the computer system to operate with precise speed and direction.

[0035] (3) Operation of plotting axis 4 motor: The plotting axis 4 motor starts to rotate clockwise under the drive of the output signal of the motor drive module. The power of the motor is transmitted to the plotting axis 4 at the right end through the transmission device (such as belt drive or gear drive, depending on the mechanical structure design of plotter 1).

[0036] (4) The drawing paper 5 curls: As the drawing shaft 4 rotates, the drawing paper 5 wrapped around the drawing shaft 4 begins to be gradually rolled in, because the two ends of the drawing paper 5 are wrapped separately.

[0037] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the present utility model and are not intended to limit the technical solutions described in the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the above embodiments, the present utility model is not limited to the specific embodiments described above. Therefore, any modifications or equivalent substitutions to the present utility model, and all technical solutions and improvements that do not depart from the spirit and scope of the utility model, are covered within the scope of the claims of the present utility model.
