[0023] 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 skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0024] Please refer to Figures 1-6. This utility model provides a technical solution: a transparent embossed tape coding system, including a tape feeding machine conveyor wheel 1, an encoder measuring wheel 2, a first nozzle assembly 3, a second nozzle assembly 4, a drying device 5, an ink cartridge 6, and a drive cylinder 7. The tape feeding machine conveyor wheel 1 and the encoder measuring wheel 2 are connected by a synchronous transmission mechanism 8, and the outer circumferential surface of the encoder measuring wheel 2 is provided with grooved scale marks 9. The first nozzle assembly 3 and the second nozzle assembly 4 are respectively fixed on both sides of the tape feeding machine conveying path, and the two are connected by a slide rail pair 10 to achieve relative movement in the horizontal direction.

[0025] Specifically, the first printhead assembly 3 includes a first printhead holder 11, a first nozzle 12, a first ink conduit 13, and a first pressure regulating valve 14. The bottom end of the first printhead holder 11 has a first slot 15. The first nozzle 12 is fixed in the first slot 15 and connected to an external ink supply device through the first ink conduit 13. The first pressure regulating valve 14 is installed on the first ink conduit 13 and located between the first nozzle 12 and the external ink supply device. Further, the second printhead assembly 4 includes a second printhead holder 16, a second nozzle 17, a second ink conduit 18, and a second pressure regulating valve 19. The bottom end of the second printhead holder 16 has a second slot 2. The second nozzle 17 is fixed in the second slot 20 and connected to the external ink supply device through the second ink pipeline 18. The second pressure regulating valve 19 is installed on the second ink pipeline 18 and located between the second nozzle 17 and the external ink supply device. With the above settings, the first printhead assembly 3 and the second printhead assembly 4 can independently adjust the ink spray volume and spray pressure, thereby achieving accurate coding of transparent embossed tapes of different materials and thicknesses. The design of the slide rail pair 10 allows the two printhead assemblies to flexibly adjust their relative positions to adapt to the conveying paths of tape machines of different widths or shapes, increasing the flexibility and applicability of the coding system.

[0026] Specifically, the drying device 5 is positioned above the conveying path between the first printhead assembly 3 and the second printhead assembly 4. The drying device 5 includes a hot air module 21 and a temperature control module 22. The temperature control module 22 is used to monitor the working temperature of the hot air module 21 and control its output power. Through the above settings, the ink can be dried immediately after spraying, avoiding the ink from flowing or spreading during the conveying process, and ensuring the clarity and accuracy of the coding pattern.

[0027] Specifically, the ink cartridge 6 is located directly below the first printhead assembly 3 and the second printhead assembly 4, and the top of the ink cartridge 6 is provided with a funnel-shaped guide groove 23. The inner wall of the funnel-shaped guide groove 23 is coated with a hydrophobic coating. Through the above arrangement, excess ink during the spraying process can be smoothly guided into the ink cartridge 6, avoiding ink dripping onto the conveyor path of the tape machine or the transparent convex tape and causing contamination. At the same time, the hydrophobic coating design can effectively prevent ink from adhering to the inner wall of the funnel-shaped guide groove 23, ensuring the long-term stable use of the ink cartridge 6.

[0028] Specifically, the drive cylinder 7 is installed at the rear end of the first nozzle assembly 3 and the second nozzle assembly 4 respectively, and the end of the telescopic rod of the drive cylinder 7 is fixedly connected to the first nozzle seat 11 and the second nozzle seat 16 through a threaded connector. Through the above arrangement, the first nozzle assembly 3 and the second nozzle assembly 4 can achieve precise movement and adjustment in the horizontal direction, further improving the accuracy and flexibility of the coding system.

[0029] Specifically, the temperature control module 22 includes a temperature sensor 24 and a PID controller 25. The temperature sensor 24 is installed near the air outlet of the hot air module 21. The PID controller 25 receives the signal from the temperature sensor 24 and outputs a control signal to the hot air module 21. Through the above settings, the operating temperature of the hot air module 21 can be accurately controlled within a preset range, ensuring the drying effect of the ink and the quality of the coding pattern. The use of the PID controller 25 also realizes the automatic adjustment of the output power of the hot air module 21, thereby saving energy and extending the service life of the equipment.

[0030] A specific application example of this embodiment is as follows:

[0031] In use, the tape moves along the conveyor path under the drive of the tape feeding machine conveyor wheel 1. The encoder measuring wheel 2 rotates synchronously with the tape feeding machine conveyor wheel 1 through the synchronous transmission mechanism 8. The grooved scale mark 9 on the encoder measuring wheel 2 is used to accurately measure the feeding length and determine the coding position. When the tape reaches the position of the first printhead assembly 3, the first nozzle 12 sprays a white base coat on the tape according to preset parameters. After the spraying is completed, the first printhead seat 11 moves along the slide rail pair 10 to above the ink collection box 6 under the action of the drive cylinder 7 to prevent ink from dripping onto the tape. Then the tape enters the drying device 5 area. The hot air module 21 blows uniform hot air onto the surface of the tape through the rectangular array air outlet. The temperature sensor 24 in the temperature control module 22 monitors the hot air temperature in real time and transmits the signal. The PID controller 25 adjusts the output power of the hot air module 21 according to the set value to ensure the drying effect. After drying, the material strip continues to move forward to the position of the second nozzle assembly 4. The second nozzle 17 performs barcode spraying on the material strip. After spraying, the second nozzle holder 16 also moves above the ink cartridge 6 under the action of the drive cylinder 7. The funnel-shaped guide groove 23 on the top of the ink cartridge 6 is used to collect the dripping ink. The hydrophobic coating avoids ink residue from affecting subsequent use. The spray angle and outlet diameter of the first nozzle 12 and the second nozzle 17 are optimized to adapt to material strips of different materials and improve the spraying quality. The fine-tuning bolts at the bottom of the first nozzle holder 11 and the second nozzle holder 16 are used to precisely adjust the nozzle height to ensure the consistency of the spraying position.
