Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of thermal transfer ribbon technology, specifically a thermal transfer ribbon slitting and winding device. Background Technology

[0002] Thermal transfer ribbon is a specialized consumable used in thermal transfer printing technology, widely applied to printing labels, barcodes, tickets, packaging, and various signs. Its basic function is to transfer ink from the printer onto the printing medium through heating. Thermal transfer ribbon mainly consists of a substrate and an ink layer. It can print intricate patterns and text, making it suitable for high-quality label and barcode printing. The printed patterns typically have high abrasion and scratch resistance. Due to its high quality and wide applicability, thermal transfer ribbon is widely used in various industries. However, existing thermal transfer ribbon slitting and rewinding devices still have certain shortcomings; for example:

[0003] Application CN202220597848.7, entitled "A Heat Transfer Ribbon Slitting Device," includes a machine tool, an assembly frame on top of the machine tool, and a drive box on the back of the machine tool. A feeding roller is located on the left side of the assembly frame, and a first take-up roller and a second take-up roller are located below and above the right side of the assembly frame, respectively. A conveyor roller is mounted on the assembly frame, and a dividing mechanism is located on the right side of the conveyor roller. This invention utilizes a dividing mechanism on the right side of the conveyor roller. The dividing mechanism consists of a mounting frame, a base, and a blade. By turning a knob, it moves outward, preventing the blade from pressing against the base. By clamping the connecting shaft, the angle of the blade connected to it can be adjusted by rotation, which facilitates more effective segmentation when the heat transfer ribbon passes through the blade. This solves the problem of the ribbon being tangled and wrapped around the take-up roller due to incomplete cutting, thus affecting the winding process. As can be seen from the above, although this heat transfer ribbon slitting device can be used well, it cannot quickly wind up the raw material after cutting and cannot properly squeeze the ink layer inside the raw material, resulting in poor raw material production quality. This increases the user's workload, reduces the equipment's working efficiency, and often troubles the user. Summary of the Invention
