Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of printing technology, specifically to an automatic mobile phone case printing mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] The widespread use of smartphones has transformed phone cases from functional accessories into a medium for personalization. Existing phone cases can be produced quickly and accurately using 3D printing technology, meeting the diverse needs of more users.

[0003] In traditional technology, phone cases are typically made by manually pouring material into a mold, allowing it to cool and solidify, and then removing it from the mold. This method limits the styles of phone cases produced by the mold itself, failing to meet diverse needs. Therefore, using an automatic phone case printer is essential. Existing automatic phone case printers usually consist of a printing module, a conveying module, and a clamping module. In operation, the conveying module first transports the component carrying the phone case into the printing module, where the printing module prints the phone case onto the component. After printing, the clamping module holds the phone case out and transports it to the output position, completing the phone case production.

[0004] However, during the aforementioned process, some phone cases are made of soft materials, which may cause the clamping module to squeeze the phone case during clamping. This can lead to the phone case detaching from the clamping module during transport and potentially falling into the machine, affecting its operation and reducing production efficiency. Therefore, we propose an automatic phone case printing mechanism to effectively address these drawbacks. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide an automatic printing mechanism for mobile phone cases, which solves the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0006] This utility model is achieved through the following technical solution: an automatic mobile phone case printing mechanism, comprising a printer assembly, characterized in that it further comprises:

[0007] A shelf is provided above the printer assembly;

[0008] A three-axis moving module is located on the rear side of the shelf;

[0009] A clamping assembly is mounted on the movable base of the three-axis moving module;

[0010] A conveying assembly is disposed on one side of the printer assembly. A carrier plate is fixedly provided at the movable end of the conveying assembly. A phone case loading component for loading phone cases is placed on the top surface of the carrier plate. The conveying assembly can drive the carrier plate to enter the inside of the printer assembly.

[0011] The clamping component is used to clamp the phone case mount.

[0012] Optionally, the clamping assembly includes a motor fixedly mounted on the movable base. The motor is arranged along the Y-axis, and a drive gear is coaxially mounted on the output end of the motor. The clamping assembly also includes a first driven gear, a second driven gear, and a third driven gear rotatably connected to the movable base. The drive gear meshes with the first driven gear, and the drive gear meshes with the second driven gear. The first driven gear and the second driven gear are located on the left and right sides of the drive gear, respectively. The first driven gear meshes with the third driven gear, and the second driven gear and the third driven gear are arranged symmetrically on the movable base.

[0013] Optionally, both the second driven gear and the third driven gear are coaxially provided with clamping rods, and the two clamping rods are symmetrically provided with clamping plates. Each of the two clamping plates has two anti-detachment protrusions on its facing surfaces. The clamping plates are used to clamp the mobile phone case loading component.

[0014] Optionally, two clamping grooves are provided on both the left and right sides of the phone case mounting component. The clamping grooves correspond one-to-one with the anti-detachment protrusions, and the clamping grooves are used for the corresponding anti-detachment protrusions to be embedded.

[0015] Optionally, limiting blocks are provided around the top surface of the carrier plate; when the phone case loading component is placed on the top surface of the carrier plate, the side wall of the phone case loading component and the inner side wall of several limiting blocks are in contact.

[0016] Optionally, the shelf has several storage compartments, and the front and rear side walls of the storage compartments are provided with through openings. The three-axis moving module can drive the clamping component through the through openings to place the phone case into the storage compartment.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, this utility model provides an automatic phone case printing mechanism, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0018] 1. This utility model sets a clamping component on the moving seat of a three-axis moving module. By using the transmission between multiple sets of gears, the relative rotation of two clamping plates is realized, so that the two clamping plates can flip inward to clamp the middle mobile phone case loading component, thereby realizing the clamping of the mobile phone case without applying clamping force to the mobile phone case. This allows the clamping component to clamp the mobile phone case with a relatively soft material, preventing the mobile phone case from falling and affecting the operation of the device.

[0019] 2. This utility model provides two anti-detachment protrusions on the facing surfaces of the two clamping plates, and provides clamping grooves on the left and right sides of the phone case loading component for the anti-detachment protrusions to be inserted into. This allows the clamping plates to insert the anti-detachment protrusions into the clamping grooves when clamping the phone case loading component, thereby further improving the clamping and fixing ability of the phone case loading component and making the phone case inside the loading component more stable.

[0029] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0030] Please see Figure 1 - Figure 8 An automatic mobile phone case printing mechanism includes a printer assembly 1, a shelf 2 on top of the printer assembly 1, and a three-axis moving module 3 on the rear side of the shelf 2. The printer assembly 1, shelf 2 and three-axis moving module 3 are also surrounded by a housing, such as the style of an automatic vending machine. The housing not only provides protection for the internal printer assembly 1, shelf 2 and three-axis moving module 3, but also provides installation positions for each component.

[0031] In this embodiment, the three-axis moving module 3 has a moving base 301, and a clamping component 4 is fixedly mounted on the moving base 301 so that the three-axis moving module 3 can drive the clamping component 4 to move. The shelf 2 has several storage compartments 201, and the front and rear side walls of the storage compartments 201 have through openings. The three-axis moving module 3 can drive the clamping component 4 through the through openings to place the phone case into the storage compartment 201, so that the finished phone case can be sent into the storage compartment 201 by the three-axis moving module 3 and the clamping component 4, thereby facilitating the user to view and take it.

[0032] Specifically, the three-axis motion module 3 consists of motion modules in the X, Y, and Z axes, such as... Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the Z-axis module is slidably mounted on the X-axis module, the Y-axis module is slidably mounted on the Z-axis module, and the moving seat 301 is slidably mounted on the Y-axis module. This allows the three-axis moving module 3 to control the clamping component 4 to move in three directions, thereby enabling the clamping component 4 to more accurately reach the positions of the phone case and the storage compartment 201.

[0033] Furthermore, a conveying assembly 5 is provided on one side of the printer assembly 1. A carrier plate 6 is fixedly provided at the movable end of the conveying assembly 5. A phone case loading component 7 for loading phone cases is placed on the top surface of the carrier plate 6. The clamping assembly 4 is used to clamp the phone case loading component 7 so that the carrier plate 6 can convey the phone case loading component 7 into the printer assembly 1 for loading phone cases and convey the finished phone cases out.

[0034] It is worth mentioning that limiting blocks 601 are provided around the top surface of the carrier plate 6. When the mobile phone case loading component 7 is placed on the top surface of the carrier plate 6, the side wall of the mobile phone case loading component 7 and the inner side wall of several limiting blocks 601 are in contact, so that when the mobile phone case loading component 7 is transported on the carrier plate 6 by the conveying component 5, the mobile phone case loading component 7 will not be displaced, which facilitates the subsequent clamping operation of the clamping component 4 on the mobile phone case loading component 7.

[0035] The clamping component 4 is described in detail below:

[0036] The clamping assembly 4 includes a motor 401 fixedly mounted on the movable base 301. The motor 401 is arranged along the Y-axis. A drive gear 402 is coaxially mounted on the output end of the motor 401. The clamping assembly 4 also includes a first driven gear 403, a second driven gear 404, and a third driven gear 405 rotatably connected to the movable base 301. Wherein, as... Figure 4 As shown, the driving gear 402 meshes with the first driven gear 403, and the driving gear 402 meshes with the second driven gear 404. The first driven gear 403 and the second driven gear 404 are located on the left and right sides of the driving gear 402, respectively. The first driven gear 403 meshes with the third driven gear 405, and the second driven gear 404 and the third driven gear 405 are symmetrically arranged on the movable seat 301 so that the rotation of the driving gear 402 can drive the other gears to rotate.

[0037] It should be noted that both the second driven gear 404 and the third driven gear 405 are coaxially equipped with clamping rods 406. The clamping rods 406 are rotatably connected to the three-axis moving module 3 through bearings, so that the rotation of the second driven gear 404 and the third driven gear 405 can drive the clamping rods 406 to rotate. The two clamping rods 406 are symmetrically equipped with clamping plates 407. The two clamping plates 407 are fixedly set on the outer side of the corresponding clamping rods 406. The facing surfaces of the two clamping plates 407 are provided with two anti-detachment protrusions 408. The clamping plates 407 are used to clamp the mobile phone case loading component 7, so that the two clamping plates 407 can fix and clamp the mobile phone case loading component 7 by clamping the side of the mobile phone case loading component 7, thus completing the clamping of the mobile phone case.

[0038] Furthermore, two clamping grooves 701 are provided on both the left and right sides of the phone case mount 7. The clamping grooves 701 correspond one-to-one with the anti-detachment protrusions 408. The clamping grooves 701 are used for the corresponding anti-detachment protrusions 408 to be inserted. When the anti-detachment protrusions 408 are inserted into the clamping grooves 701, the anti-detachment protrusions 408 will move to the top of the clamping grooves 701 and will eventually be blocked by the top wall. This ensures that the anti-detachment protrusions 408 will not detach from the phone case mount 7 when it is clamped upwards, thereby improving the stability of clamping.

[0039] The working principle and usage process of this utility model are as follows: First, the phone case loading component 7 is placed on the carrier plate 6, so that the side wall of the phone case loading component 7 and several limiting blocks 601 are in contact, thus limiting the phone case loading component 7. Then, the carrier plate 6 is driven to move into the printer assembly 1 by the conveying component 5, so that the phone case loading component 7 enters the printer assembly 1. The printer assembly 1 prints the phone case on the phone case loading component 7, and then controls the carrier plate 6 and the phone case loading component 7 to move out to the outside of the printer assembly 1.

[0040] At this point, the three-axis moving module 3 controls the moving seat 301 to move the clamping assembly 4 to directly above the phone case loading component 7. Then, the motor 401 is started, controlling the drive gear 402 to rotate counterclockwise, which in turn drives the first driven gear 403 and the second driven gear 404 to rotate clockwise. The first driven gear 403 then drives the third driven gear 405 to rotate counterclockwise, causing the two clamping rods 406 to rotate relative to each other, which in turn causes the two clamping plates 407 to flip inward. As the clamping plates 407 gradually approach the sides of the phone case loading component 7, the anti-detachment protrusions 408 on the clamping plates 407 will enter the clamping grooves 701 on the side of the phone case loading component 7 until the clamping plates 407 and the side of the phone case loading component 7 are in contact, and the anti-detachment protrusions 408 will be at the top of the clamping grooves 701. At this point, the clamping plate 407 and the anti-detachment protrusion 408 can clamp and fix the phone case loading component 7, thus clamping and fixing the phone case without direct contact with it, and finally transporting it into the storage compartment 201 through the three-axis moving module 3 for easy removal by the user.

[0041] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
