Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of inkjet printer technology, and in particular to a position calibration mechanism for an inkjet printer used in high-speed production lines. Background Technology

[0002] An inkjet printer is a device that uses charged ink particles deflected by a high-voltage electric field and controlled by software to mark products in a non-contact manner, printing information such as text, symbols, graphics, or barcodes onto a printing medium.

[0003] Existing technologies, such as Chinese Patent Publication No. CN217968937U, disclose an inkjet printer with automatic calibration function, including a conveyor base, a fixed plate, and a bracket. A guide plate is fixedly connected to the left end of the inner side of the fixed plate, and a guide groove is formed on the inner surface of the guide plate. Electric push rods are fixedly installed at the middle and right ends of the inner side of the fixed plate. A limit plate is fixedly connected to the extended end of the electric push rod. A calibration plate is movably connected to the left end of the limit plate via a hinge, and a calibration ball is provided on the inner side of the calibration plate. This invention, through the functions of the electric push rod, limit plate, guide pin, guide groove, guide plate, calibration plate, calibration ball, distance sensor, adjusting motor, threaded rod, movable plate, and L-shaped fixed bracket, solves the problem that existing inkjet printers lack automatic calibration functions and cannot quickly adjust according to the specific size and height of the product when inkjet printing, causing inconvenience to users. However, when this utility model guides products of different sizes, the tilt angle of the calibration plate will inevitably change significantly as the limiting plate moves, which will affect the guiding effect and may even hinder the conveying of products. Furthermore, the method of separating products by using a cylinder to control the back-and-forth movement of the baffle is inefficient and not suitable for high-speed production lines.

[0004] To address the issue that the position calibration mechanism of inkjet printers used in high-speed production lines is inconvenient for calibrating products of different sizes, some existing inkjet printers lack an automatic calibration mechanism, making adjustment inconvenient when coding products of different sizes. While some utilize automatically adjustable limit plates and calibration plates for position calibration, the angle of the calibration plate changes significantly with the position of the limit plate, affecting the guiding effect and even hindering the normal transport of products. Therefore, improvements are needed. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to solve the problem that the existing position calibration mechanism for inkjet printers used in high-speed production lines is not convenient for calibrating the position of products of different sizes, and to propose a position calibration mechanism for inkjet printers used in high-speed production lines.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a high-speed production line inkjet printer position calibration mechanism, comprising a base, a transmission machine, an inkjet printer and a positioning mechanism, wherein the transmission machine is disposed on the surface of the base, the inkjet printer is disposed on the surface of the base, and the positioning mechanism is disposed on the surface of the base;

[0007] The positioning mechanism includes a guide assembly, a separation assembly, and an auxiliary assembly. The guide assembly includes an electric push rod, which is fixedly mounted on the surface of the base. The drive end of the electric push rod is fixedly connected to a limit plate. A calibration plate is rotatably connected to the surface of the limit plate, and a telescopic plate is slidably connected to the surface of the calibration plate.

[0008] A motor is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the base. A lead screw is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor. A slide is threaded onto the surface of the lead screw. A slide groove is formed on the surface of the base. The slide is slidably connected to the surface of the slide groove. The telescopic plate is rotatably connected to the surface of the slide.

[0009] Furthermore, the separating component includes a second motor, which is fixedly mounted on the surface of the base. A square column is fixedly connected to the output end of the second motor, and a cam is inserted and connected to the surface of the square column.

[0010] Furthermore, a limiting block is fixedly connected to the surface of the square column, a relief groove is provided on the surface of the base, a relief groove is provided on the surface of the base, and the cam is provided with different specifications.

[0011] Furthermore, a screw hole is provided on the surface of the square column, a screw rod is threadedly connected to the surface of the screw hole, a pressure plate is fixedly connected to the surface of the screw rod, and the pressure plate cooperates with the cam.

[0012] Furthermore, the auxiliary component includes a soft pad, which is fixedly connected to the surface of the cam. The surface of the soft pad is provided with anti-slip textures, which are multiple sets and evenly distributed.

[0013] Furthermore, the surface of the telescopic plate is rotatably connected to rollers, and the number of rollers is multiple and evenly distributed.

[0014] Furthermore, the number of positioning mechanisms is two sets, and the two sets of positioning mechanisms are arranged symmetrically.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the advantages and positive effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0016] 1. In this utility model, a positioning mechanism is set up, a conveyor is used to transport the product, and a telescopic plate, a calibration plate, and a limiting plate are used to guide and limit the product to achieve position calibration. Then, an inkjet printer is used for inkjet printing. When it is necessary to guide and limit products of different sizes, the electric push rod can be started to adjust the position of the limiting plate. Then, motor one is started to rotate the lead screw, which drives the slide to move along the slide groove. After the limiting plate moves, the calibration plate and the telescopic plate can still maintain an appropriate tilt angle. To facilitate sequential inkjet printing, motor two is started to drive the square column to rotate the cam. By controlling the speed of motor two, the cam can intermittently block the product. When it is necessary to block and separate products of different sizes, the pressure plate is rotated to make the screw go upward along the screw hole until it disengages. Then, the cam can be removed from the square column, and a cam of appropriate size is inserted into the square column. The pressure plate is rotated to make the screw go downward along the screw hole until the pressure plate presses the cam, thus completing the installation.

[0017] 2. In this utility model, by setting a positioning mechanism, the products on the conveyor can be guided, limited and separated to achieve position calibration so that the inkjet printer can be used for inkjet printing. It can also adapt to products of different sizes and has good applicability, which effectively improves the convenience of the equipment. Attached Figure Description

[0025] Please see Figures 1-5 This utility model provides a technical solution: a high-speed production line inkjet printer position calibration mechanism, including a base 1, a transmission machine 2, an inkjet printer 3 and a positioning mechanism 4. The transmission machine 2 is disposed on the surface of the base 1, the inkjet printer 3 is disposed on the surface of the base 1, and the positioning mechanism 4 is disposed on the surface of the base 1.

[0026] The specific setup and function of its positioning mechanism 4 will be explained below.

[0027] In this embodiment: the positioning mechanism 4 includes a guide component 41, a partition component 42 and an auxiliary component 43. The guide component 41 includes an electric push rod 411, which is fixedly installed on the surface of the base 1. The drive end of the electric push rod 411 is fixedly connected to a limit plate 412. A calibration plate 413 is rotatably connected to the surface of the limit plate 412, and a telescopic plate 414 is slidably connected to the surface of the calibration plate 413.

[0028] A motor 415 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the base 1. A lead screw 416 is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor 415. A slide 417 is threadedly connected to the surface of the lead screw 416. A slide groove 418 is opened on the surface of the base 1. The slide 417 is slidably connected to the surface of the slide groove 418. The telescopic plate 414 is rotatably connected to the surface of the slide 417.

[0029] The effects achieved by the above components are as follows: The limiting plate 412 and calibration plate 413 are set to facilitate the limiting and guiding of the product and realize position calibration. The electric push rod 411 and telescopic plate 414 are set so that when adapting to products of different sizes, the electric push rod 411 drives the limiting plate 412 to move, and at the same time the calibration plate 413 slides along the inner wall of the telescopic plate 414 for adaptive adjustment. The motor 415, lead screw 416, slide 417 and slide groove 418 are set so that starting the motor 415 causes the lead screw 416 to rotate, which drives the slide 417 to slide along the slide groove 418, thereby driving the telescopic plate 414 to move. After the limiting plate 412 moves and causes the calibration plate 413 and telescopic plate 414 to change angle, the tilt angle of the calibration plate 413 and telescopic plate 414 can be adjusted again to avoid large changes in tilt angle that would affect the guiding effect.

[0030] Specifically, the partition component 42 includes a second motor 421, which is fixedly mounted on the surface of the base 1. The output end of the second motor 421 is fixedly connected to a square column 422, and a cam 423 is inserted and connected to the surface of the square column 422.

[0031] The effect achieved by the above components is as follows: the motor 421, the square column 422 and the cam 423 are set so that when the motor 421 drives the square column 422 to rotate, it can drive the cam 423 to rotate continuously. By controlling the speed of the motor 421, the products can be continuously blocked and separated so that the inkjet printing operation can be performed in sequence.

[0032] Specifically, the surface of the square column 422 is fixedly connected to the limit block 424, the surface of the base 1 is provided with a relief groove 425, the surface of the base 1 is provided with a relief groove 426, and the cam 423 is provided with different specifications.

[0033] The effects achieved by the above components are as follows: the limiting block 424 is set to facilitate the limiting of the cam 423 in conjunction with the pressure plate 429; the first relief groove 425 is set to facilitate the rotation of the cam 423; the second relief groove 426 is set to facilitate the loading and unloading of the cam 423; and the cams 423 of different specifications are set to facilitate the adaptation to products of different sizes.

[0034] Specifically, the surface of the square column 422 is provided with a screw hole 427, the surface of the screw hole 427 is threaded with a screw rod 428, the surface of the screw rod 428 is fixedly connected with a pressure plate 429, and the pressure plate 429 cooperates with the cam 423.

[0035] The effect achieved by the above components is as follows: The screw hole 427, screw 428 and pressure plate 429 are provided so that when blocking and separating products of different sizes, the pressure plate 429 is rotated so that the screw 428 moves upward along the screw hole 427 until it is disengaged. Then the cam 423 can be removed from the square post 422, the cam 423 of appropriate size is inserted into the square post 422, and the pressure plate 429 is rotated so that the screw 428 moves downward along the screw hole 427 until the pressure plate 429 presses the cam 423, thus completing the installation.

[0036] Specifically, the auxiliary component 43 includes a soft pad 431, which is fixedly connected to the surface of the cam 423. The surface of the soft pad 431 is provided with anti-slip textures 432, which are multiple sets and evenly distributed.

[0037] The effects achieved by the above components are as follows: the soft pad 431 is provided to prevent the cam 423 from being damaged due to hard contact with the product; the anti-slip texture 432 is provided to increase friction and prevent the cam 423 from slipping when it contacts the product.

[0038] Specifically, the surface of the telescopic plate 414 is rotatably connected to rollers 433, and the number of rollers 433 is multiple and evenly distributed.

[0039] The effect achieved by the above components is that the roller 433 is set so that when the product comes into contact with the telescopic plate 414, it can be guided more smoothly to the limiting plate 412 without obstructing the product conveying.

[0040] Specifically, there are two sets of positioning mechanisms 4, which are arranged symmetrically.

[0041] The effect achieved by the above components is as follows: setting two sets of positioning mechanisms 4 is to facilitate the guidance, limiting and separation of the product from both sides, and to ensure sufficient position calibration effect.

[0042] Working principle: By setting up a positioning mechanism 4, the product is transported by a conveyor 2, and the product is guided and limited by a telescopic plate 414, a calibration plate 413, and a limiting plate 412 to achieve position calibration. Then, the inkjet printer 3 performs inkjet printing. When it is necessary to guide and limit products of different sizes, the electric push rod 411 can be activated to adjust the position of the limiting plate 412. Then, the motor 415 is activated to rotate the lead screw 416, which drives the slide 417 to move along the slide groove 418, so that after the limiting plate 412 moves, the calibration plate 413 and the telescopic plate 414 can still maintain an appropriate tilt angle. To facilitate sequential coding, start motor 421 to make the square post 422 drive the cam 423 to rotate. By controlling the speed of motor 421, the cam 423 can intermittently block the products. When it is necessary to block and separate products of different sizes, rotate the pressure plate 429 to make the screw 428 move upward along the screw hole 427 until it is disengaged. Then, the cam 423 can be removed from the square post 422. Insert the cam 423 of appropriate size into the square post 422, rotate the pressure plate 429 to make the screw 428 move downward along the screw hole 427 until the pressure plate 429 presses the cam 423 tightly, and the installation is completed.

[0043] By setting up the positioning mechanism 4, the products on the conveyor 2 can be guided, limited and separated to achieve position calibration, so that the inkjet printer 3 can be used for inkjet printing. It can also adapt to products of different sizes and has good applicability, which effectively improves the convenience of the equipment.
