Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of refilling ink into strip ink cartridges, and more particularly to a refilling mechanism for strip ink cartridges. Background Technology
[0002] Since bar ink cartridges are relatively large and long, it is necessary to position their upper and lower parts when filling them with ink to ensure accurate ink filling. As enterprises take cost reduction and efficiency improvement as their principle, the clamping and limiting fixtures for bar ink cartridges also need to be continuously simplified. Therefore, this application proposes a bar ink cartridge filling mechanism with a simple structure and convenient use. Utility Model Content
[0003] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a bar-shaped ink cartridge refilling mechanism with a simple structure, making it more convenient to refill the bar-shaped ink cartridge.
[0004] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is achieved through the following technical means: a bar-shaped ink cartridge filling mechanism, including a limiting seat module that cooperates with the bottom of the bar-shaped ink cartridge and a clamping module that cooperates with the top of the bar-shaped ink cartridge. The limiting seat module includes a limiting seat, which is provided with two cubic-shaped clamping positions on the left and right. The clamping module includes two sets of claw assemblies, which are respectively arranged above the two clamping positions. The claw assembly includes two symmetrically arranged claws that cooperate with the two sides of the upper part of the bar-shaped ink cartridge and a driver for driving the two claws to move relative to or towards each other.
[0005] In the above solution, the bottom of the bar ink cartridge can be placed in the slot and limited, while the upper part of the bar ink cartridge can be clamped by the two claws of the claw assembly, thereby achieving the purpose of limiting the upper and lower parts of the bar ink cartridge to achieve stable and precise fixation of the bar ink cartridge, and then making it convenient to add ink to the upper part of the bar ink cartridge.
[0006] In one embodiment, the limiting seat is a frame structure, and the limiting seat module includes a mounting base located below the limiting seat, and the limiting seat and the mounting base are detachably connected.
[0007] In the above scheme, the limiting seat and the mounting seat are usually connected by screws. Making the limiting seat into a frame structure can reduce weight and the amount of material used.
[0008] In one embodiment, the limiting seat module includes two sets of through-beam sensors disposed on the mounting base, one set of the through-beam sensors being arranged outside a set of opposing directions of one of the locking positions.
[0009] In the above scheme, the beams between the same group of through-beam sensors avoid the frame of the limiting seat and are in a hollow position, so as to detect whether a strip ink cartridge is placed on the card slot.
[0010] In one embodiment, the limiting seat is provided with a through groove at the bottom of the locking position, and a wedge block is movably provided inside the through groove. The bottoms of the two wedge blocks corresponding to the two locking positions are connected by a connecting block. The mounting seat is provided with a sliding groove for the connecting block to slide left and right. Limiting baffles are provided at both ends of the sliding groove. Adjusting bolts are threadedly connected to the limiting baffles, and one end of each of the two adjusting bolts abuts against both ends of the connecting block.
[0011] In the above solution, for the case where the bottom of the strip ink cartridge is sloping, in this application, the adjusting bolts can be manually adjusted. Adjusting two adjusting bolts at the same time can drive the connecting block to move left and right, which in turn drives the two wedge blocks to move left and right. The two wedge blocks are arranged in an array and both of them are sloping at the top. The bottom of the strip ink cartridge is in contact with the top of the wedge blocks. Therefore, when the wedge blocks move, the contact position between the wedge blocks and the bottom of the strip ink cartridge changes, which allows the strip ink cartridge to be raised and lowered slightly. This allows the height of the strip ink cartridge with the sloping bottom to be limited after it is placed in the slot.
[0012] In one embodiment, a pad is provided at the contact point between the claw and the side of the strip ink cartridge.
[0013] In the above solution, using a pad as the component that contacts the ink cartridge can protect the ink cartridge from dents.
[0014] In one embodiment, the actuator is a pneumatic gripper cylinder. Attached Figure Description

[0018] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present invention and not intended to limit it. Furthermore, it should be noted that, for ease of description, the accompanying drawings show only the parts relevant to the present invention, not the entire structure.
[0019] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: This utility model is a strip ink cartridge refilling mechanism, including a limiting seat module that cooperates with the bottom of the strip ink cartridge 1 and a clamping module that cooperates with the top of the strip ink cartridge 1. The limiting seat module includes a limiting seat 2, which is provided with two cubic clamping positions 3 on the left and right. The clamping module includes two sets of clamping claw assemblies 4, which are arranged one-to-one above the two clamping positions 3. The clamping claw assembly 4 includes two symmetrically arranged clamping claws 5 that cooperate with the two sides of the upper part of the strip ink cartridge 1 and a driver 6 for driving the two clamping claws 5 to move relative to or towards each other.
[0020] In the above scheme, the bottom of the bar ink cartridge 1 can be placed in the slot 3 and limited, and the upper part of the bar ink cartridge 1 can be clamped by the two claws 5 of the claw assembly 4, thereby achieving the purpose of limiting the upper and lower parts of the bar ink cartridge 1 to achieve stable and precise fixation of the bar ink cartridge 1, and then making it convenient to add ink to the upper part of the bar ink cartridge 1.
[0021] In one embodiment, the limiting seat 2 is a frame structure, and the limiting seat module includes a mounting seat 7 located below the limiting seat 2, and the limiting seat 2 and the mounting seat 7 are detachably connected.
[0022] In the above scheme, the limiting seat 2 and the mounting seat 7 are usually connected by screws. Making the limiting seat 2 into a frame structure can reduce weight and the amount of material used.
[0023] In one embodiment, the limiting seat module includes two sets of through-beam sensors 8 disposed on the mounting base 7, one set of the through-beam sensors 8 being arranged outside a set of opposing directions of the locking position 3.
[0024] In the above scheme, the beams between the same group of through-beam sensors 8 are in a hollow position, avoiding the frame of the limiting seat 2, so as to detect whether a strip ink cartridge 1 is placed on the card slot 3.
[0025] In one embodiment, the limiting seat 2 is provided with a through groove 9 at the bottom of the locking position 3, and a wedge block 10 is movably provided inside the through groove 9. The bottoms of the two wedge blocks 10 corresponding to the two locking positions 3 are connected by a connecting block 11. The mounting seat 7 is provided with a sliding groove 12 for the connecting block 11 to slide left and right. Limiting baffles 13 are provided at both ends of the sliding groove 12. Adjusting bolts 14 are threadedly connected to the limiting baffles 13, and one end of the two adjusting bolts 14 respectively abuts against the two ends of the connecting block 11.
[0026] In the above solution, for the case where the bottom of the strip ink cartridge 1 is sloping, in this application, the adjusting bolt 14 can be manually adjusted. Adjusting both adjusting bolts 14 can drive the connecting block 11 to move left and right, and then drive the two wedge blocks 10 to move left and right. The two wedge blocks 10 are arranged in an array and both of them are sloping at the top. The bottom of the strip ink cartridge 1 is in contact with the top of the wedge block 10. Therefore, when the wedge block 10 moves, the contact position between the wedge block 10 and the bottom of the strip ink cartridge 1 changes, thereby allowing the strip ink cartridge 1 to be raised and lowered slightly. This allows the height of the strip ink cartridge 1 with the sloping bottom to be limited after it is placed in the slot 3.
[0027] In one embodiment, a pad 15 is provided at the contact point between the claw 5 and the side of the strip ink cartridge 1.
[0028] In the above solution, the pad 15 is used as the part that contacts the strip ink cartridge 1, which can protect the strip ink cartridge 1 from dents.
[0029] In one embodiment, the actuator 6 is a pneumatic gripper cylinder.
