Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of printer technology, specifically a printing unit for a box printer. Background Technology

[0002] A printer is an output device that converts electronic documents, images, or data from digital devices into visible text or patterns on a physical medium. Its core function is to realize the visual transformation of digital information into a physical carrier. It is a key tool connecting the digital world and the physical world in modern offices, manufacturing, and daily life, and is often used in various aspects. For example, printers are also used when printing the outer packaging of square boxes.

[0003] In existing technologies, although printers can print on the outer packaging of square boxes, thereby improving printing efficiency, it is often inconvenient to move the printing mechanism, making it difficult to adjust the position according to the printed square box. Furthermore, the lack of a partition structure can easily lead to mutual interference between the ink cartridge and the ink pump, causing the weight of the ink cartridge to compress the ink pump, resulting in pump deformation and affecting normal ink supply. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a printing unit for a square box printer. It can effectively solve the problems in the prior art, which are often inconvenient to move the printing mechanism, making it difficult to adjust the position according to the printing square box. In addition, the lack of a partition structure can easily lead to mutual interference between the ink cartridge and the ink pump, causing the weight of the ink cartridge to compress the ink pump, resulting in pump body deformation and affecting normal ink supply.

[0005] The technical solution adopted by this utility model is: a printing unit for a square box printer, including a base plate, a mounting bracket fixedly installed on the base plate, a fixing frame fixedly installed at the end of the mounting bracket away from the base plate, an electric slide rail fixedly installed at the end of the fixing frame close to the base plate, a slide block provided at the end of the electric slide rail close to the base plate, a mounting plate fixedly installed at the end of the slide block close to the base plate, and a printing component fixedly installed at the end of the mounting plate close to the base plate;

[0006] The printing assembly includes a connecting plate and an ink cartridge. An inkjet pump is fixedly installed at the end of the connecting plate away from the base plate, and a printhead is provided at the end of the inkjet pump near the base plate.

[0007] Preferably, the slide block and the electric slide rail are slidably connected, a transmission component is fixedly installed at one end of the fixed frame near the base plate, a connecting frame is fixedly installed at the outer edge of the printing component, a connecting belt is provided at the other end of the connecting frame away from the printing component, and the other end of the connecting belt away from the connecting frame is connected to the fixed frame.

[0008] The above technical solution enables the directional displacement of the printing component by sliding the slide along the electric slide rail. The transmission component provides power drive, and the connecting frame and connecting belt form auxiliary support and tension balance, which can improve the stability of the printing component's rotating shaft when it moves and prevent it from easily shaking or displacing.

[0009] Preferably, there are two identical electric slide rails and transmission components, and the two electric slide rails and transmission components are symmetrically distributed about the center line of the mounting plate.

[0010] The above technical solution, with two electric slide rails and transmission components symmetrically distributed along the center line of the mounting plate, ensures that the mounting plate is subjected to relatively balanced forces, which can avoid unilateral displacement during translation and improve the stability during printing.

[0011] Preferably, a side plate and a dustproof plate are fixedly installed at the end of the connecting plate away from the bottom plate, and a top plate is fixedly installed at the end of the side plate and the dustproof plate away from the bottom plate. The connecting plate, the side plate, the dustproof plate and the top plate form a square structure.

[0012] The above technical solution, which uses a connecting plate, side plate, dustproof plate and top plate to form a square semi-enclosed structure, can provide dustproof and collision protection for the internal inkjet pump and ink cartridge, and avoid damage caused by collision during the printing process.

[0013] Preferably, a separator is fixedly installed at the end of the connecting plate away from the base plate, and the inkjet pump and ink cartridge are located at opposite ends of the separator.

[0014] The above technical solution divides the space above the connecting plate into two parts by using a partition frame, which allows the inkjet pump and ink cartridge to be placed on opposite sides to achieve functional zoning and avoid mutual interference. The physical isolation provided by the partition frame can also reduce the pressure of the ink cartridge weight on the inkjet pump and prevent pump deformation from affecting normal ink supply.

[0015] Preferably, the inkjet pump and the ink cartridge are interconnected, the printhead penetrates the top plate and extends to its outer edge, and two identical inkjet pumps and ink cartridges are provided.

[0016] The above technical solution stores ink in an ink cartridge and continuously supplies ink to the inkjet pump. The inkjet pump pressurizes the ink and delivers it to the printhead. The printhead ejects ink droplets according to the printing signal. With two independent ink supply circuits, different colors of ink can be loaded separately, which is suitable for the multi-color printing needs of the box. Furthermore, the printhead penetrates through the top plate, allowing the ink droplets to fall on the surface of the box, avoiding obstruction and thus affecting normal printing.

[0017] Preferably, a support leg is fixedly installed at the end of the base plate away from the mounting bracket, and a cleaning mechanism is fixedly installed at the end of the mounting bracket away from the base plate.

[0018] The above technical solution, which uses support legs to stably support the base plate and a cleaning mechanism to regularly clean the printhead, ensures the overall stability and print quality of the printing unit.

[0019] Compared with the prior art, the present invention provides a printing unit for a box printer, which has the following advantages:

[0020] The printing unit of this square box printer divides the space above the connecting plate into two parts by a partition frame, which makes it easy to place the inkjet pump and the ink cartridge on the two sides respectively, realize functional zoning, avoid mutual interference, and also reduce the pressure of the ink cartridge weight on the inkjet pump by the physical isolation of the partition frame, so as to avoid pump deformation affecting normal ink supply.

[0021] The ink is stored in the ink cartridge and continuously supplied to the inkjet pump. The inkjet pump pressurizes the ink and delivers it to the printhead. The printhead ejects ink droplets according to the printing signal. With two independent ink supply circuits, different colors of ink can be loaded separately, which is suitable for the multi-color printing needs of cartridges.

[0022] 3. The printing unit of this square box printer slides along the electric slide rail via a slide block, which can realize the directional displacement of the printing component. The power is provided by the transmission component, and the connecting frame and connecting belt form auxiliary support and tension balance, which can improve the stability of the printing component shaft when it moves and prevent it from shaking and displacement.

[0032] 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.

[0033] Example 1: As Figure 1-8 As shown, the present invention provides a printing unit for a square box printer, including a base plate 1, a mounting bracket 2 fixedly mounted on the base plate 1, a fixing frame 5 fixedly mounted at the end of the mounting bracket 2 away from the base plate 1, an electric slide rail 6 fixedly mounted at the end of the fixing frame 5 near the base plate 1, a slide seat 8 provided at the end of the electric slide rail 6 near the base plate 1, a mounting plate 9 fixedly mounted at the end of the slide seat 8 near the base plate 1, and a printing component 10 fixedly mounted at the end of the mounting plate 9 near the base plate 1.

[0034] The printing assembly 10 includes a connecting plate 1001 and an ink cartridge 1006. An inkjet pump 1007 is fixedly installed at the end of the connecting plate 1001 away from the base plate 1, and a printhead 1008 is provided at the end of the inkjet pump 1007 near the base plate 1.

[0035] Specifically, the slide block 8 and the electric slide rail 6 are slidably connected. The fixed frame 5 is fixedly installed with a transmission component 7 at one end near the base plate 1. The connecting frame 11 is fixedly installed at the outer edge of the printing component 10. The other end of the connecting frame 11 away from the printing component 10 is provided with a connecting belt 12. The other end of the connecting belt 12 away from the connecting frame 11 is connected to the fixed frame 5. The advantage is that the printing component 10 can be directionally displaced by sliding the slide block 8 along the electric slide rail 6. The transmission component 7 provides power drive, and the connecting frame 11 and the connecting belt 12 form auxiliary support and tension balance, which can improve the stability of the printing component 10 when the shaft moves and prevent it from shaking and displacing easily.

[0036] Specifically, there are two identical electric slide rails 6 and transmission components 7. The two electric slide rails 6 and transmission components 7 are symmetrically distributed about the center line of the mounting plate 9. The advantage is that by symmetrically distributing the two electric slide rails 6 and transmission components 7 along the center line of the mounting plate 9, the mounting plate 9 is subjected to more balanced force, which can avoid one-sided displacement during translation and improve the stability during printing.

[0037] Specifically, a side plate 1002 and a dustproof plate 1003 are fixedly installed on the end of the connecting plate 1001 away from the base plate 1. A top plate 1004 is fixedly installed on the end of the side plate 1002 and the dustproof plate 1003 away from the base plate 1. The connecting plate 1001, the side plate 1002, the dustproof plate 1003, and the top plate 1004 form a square structure. The advantage is that the square semi-enclosed structure formed by the connecting plate 1001, the side plate 1002, the dustproof plate 1003, and the top plate 1004 can provide dustproof and collision protection for the internal inkjet pump 1007 and ink cartridge 1006, avoiding damage caused by collisions during printing and movement.

[0038] Example 2: Figure 2-8 As shown, this is an improvement on the previous embodiment.

[0039] Specifically, a partition frame 1005 is fixedly installed at the end of the connecting plate 1001 away from the base plate 1. The inkjet pump 1007 and the ink cartridge 1006 are located at opposite ends of the partition frame 1005. The advantage is that the partition frame 1005 divides the space above the connecting plate 1001 into two parts, which makes it easy to place the inkjet pump 1007 and the ink cartridge 1006 on opposite sides to achieve functional zoning and avoid mutual interference. In addition, the physical isolation of the partition frame 1005 can reduce the pressure of the weight of the ink cartridge 1006 on the inkjet pump 1007 and prevent the pump body from deforming and affecting normal ink supply.

[0040] Specifically, the inkjet pump 1007 and the ink cartridge 1006 are interconnected, and the printhead 1008 penetrates the top plate 1004 and extends to its outer edge. There are two identical inkjet pumps 1007 and ink cartridges 1006. The advantage is that the ink cartridge 1006 stores ink and continuously supplies ink to the inkjet pump 1007. The inkjet pump 1007 pressurizes the ink and delivers it to the printhead 1008. The printhead 1008 ejects ink droplets according to the printing signal. With two independent ink supply circuits, different colors of ink can be loaded respectively, which is suitable for the multi-color printing needs of the box. Furthermore, the printhead 1008 penetrating the top plate 1004 allows the ink droplets to fall on the surface of the box, avoiding obstruction and thus affecting normal printing.

[0041] Specifically, a support leg 4 is fixedly installed at the end of the base plate 1 away from the mounting bracket 2, and a cleaning mechanism 3 is fixedly installed at the end of the mounting bracket 2 away from the base plate 1. The advantage is that the support leg 4 stably supports the base plate 1, and the cleaning mechanism 3 performs regular cleaning of the print head 1008, which can ensure the overall stability and printing quality of the printing unit.

[0042] Working Principle: During use, the printing component 10 can be directionally displaced by sliding the slide block 8 along the electric slide rail 6. Power is provided by the transmission component 7, and the connecting frame 11 and connecting belt 12 form auxiliary support and tension balance, improving the stability of the printing component 10's rotating shaft and preventing wobbling and displacement. The two electric slide rails 6 and the transmission component 7 are symmetrically distributed along the center line of the mounting plate 9, ensuring balanced force on the mounting plate 9 and preventing unilateral shifting during translation, thus improving printing stability. The connecting plate 1001, side plate 1002, dustproof plate 1003, and top plate 1004 form a square semi-enclosed structure, providing dustproof and collision-proof protection for the internal inkjet pump 1007 and ink cartridge 1006, preventing damage from collisions during printing movement. The partition frame 1005 holds the connecting plate 1001... The cubic space is divided into two parts, which allows the inkjet pump 1007 and ink cartridge 1006 to be placed on opposite sides, achieving functional zoning and avoiding mutual interference. The physical isolation of the partition frame 1005 can also reduce the pressure of the ink cartridge 1006 on the inkjet pump 1007, preventing pump deformation from affecting normal ink supply. The ink cartridge 1006 stores ink and continuously supplies ink to the inkjet pump 1007. The inkjet pump 1007 pressurizes the ink and delivers it to the printhead 1008. The printhead 1008 ejects ink droplets according to the printing signal. With two independent ink supply circuits, different colors of ink can be loaded separately to meet the multi-color printing needs of the cubicle. Furthermore, the printhead 1008 penetrates the top plate 1004, allowing the ink droplets to fall on the surface of the cubicle, avoiding obstruction and affecting normal printing. The support legs 4 stably support the base plate 1, and the cleaning mechanism 3 performs regular cleaning of the printhead 1008, ensuring the overall stability and print quality of the printing unit.

[0043] 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.
