[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of plastic straw inkjet printers, specifically a positioning structure for a plastic straw inkjet printer. Background Technology
[0002] Plastic straws are tools that use atmospheric pressure to draw liquid from a container into the user's mouth. During the production and packaging of plastic straws, the surface of the packaging bag needs to be printed with information such as the production date, shelf life, and batch number using an inkjet printer. An inkjet printer is a high-tech device that prints text, patterns, and numbers on the surface of an object in a non-contact manner.
[0003] A small character inkjet printer is a type of inkjet printer that includes a main body, connecting cables, and an inkjet gun. The main body houses a control system, display screen, ink cartridge structure, and switches, used to control ink output and text printing. The connecting cables connect the main body and the inkjet gun and also serve as the ink transport channel. The inkjet gun is the component used for printing. In use, the main body is moved near the item to be printed, and the inkjet gun is positioned and fixed above the item using the positioning bracket. The main body is then started by turning on the switch, and the control system and ink cartridge structure begin operating, with the inkjet gun printing the code onto the item.
[0004] Regarding the above technical conditions, there is also the defect that the positioning frame is a separate support and fixing frame, which does not provide good positioning stability for the inkjet gun. When printing inkjet codes on items, the support frame is easily moved by external forces, which causes the inkjet gun to shift position and misalign the inkjet printing.
[0005] Based on this, the present invention designs a positioning structure for a plastic straw inkjet printer to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

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.
[0022] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-4 This application will be described in further detail.
[0023] A positioning structure for a plastic straw inkjet printer includes a body 5 of a small character inkjet printer, a connecting cable 11, a positioning frame, and an inkjet gun 10. The connecting cable 11 is connected to the body 5, and the inkjet gun 10 is connected to the connecting cable 11. The positioning frame includes a base 6, a support rod 2, and a clamping assembly 12. The support rod 2 is mounted on the base 6, the clamping assembly 12 is mounted on the support rod 2, and the inkjet gun 10 is connected to the clamping assembly 12. The clamping assembly 12 is clamped and fixed to the positioning frame by the inkjet gun 10.
[0024] A sleeve 7 is detachably connected to the support rod 2, and a first threaded ring 3 is rotatably connected to the sleeve 7. A second threaded ring 15 is fixedly connected to the machine body 5. A fixing rod 4 is connected to the support rod 2, with one end of the fixing rod 4 threadedly connected to the first threaded ring 3 and the other end of the fixing rod 4 threadedly connected to the second threaded ring 15. The fixing rod 4 increases the connection stability between the machine body 5 and the positioning frame.
[0025] A connector plate 8 is connected to the support rod 2. The connector plate 8 is "[" shaped, and a threaded hole is opened on one side of the connector plate 8. The threaded hole is threaded onto the positioning rod 9. The connector plate 8 is inserted into the platform on which the item to be printed is placed, and then the positioning rod 9 is tightened to fix the platform and the connector plate 8. At this time, under the action of the fixing rod 4 and the connector plate 8, the positioning frame is not easy to move, and the inkjet gun 10, which is clamped and fixed on the positioning frame, is not easy to deviate during printing. The inkjet gun 10 is not easy to misalign during printing.
[0026] A fixing plate 13 is detachably connected to the support rod 2. The support rod 2 is between the fixing plate 13 and the plug plate 8. Multiple connecting plates are threaded onto the plug plate 8. Multiple connecting rods 20 are threaded onto the fixing plate 13. Through the cooperation of the fixing plate 13, the plug plate 8 and the connecting rods 20, the plug plate 8 is fixed to the support rod 2 and can be easily removed from the support rod 2.
[0027] A clamping pad is fixedly connected to one end of the positioning rod 9 near the insertion plate 8. When the insertion plate 8 is inserted into the platform and the positioning rod 9 is screwed on, the clamping pad increases the tightness between the positioning rod 9 and the platform. A limit groove 1 is provided on the support rod 2, and a limit rod 14 is threadedly connected to the sleeve 7. The limit rod 14 is pressed against the limit groove 1. By tightening or loosening the limit rod 14, the position of the sleeve 7 on the support rod 2 can be adjusted, thereby adjusting the position of the first threaded ring 3 on the support rod 2. This allows for easy adjustment of the height of the first threaded ring 3 on the support rod 2 according to the height of the second threaded ring 15.
[0028] The plug-in plate 8 includes an adjusting plate 16 and a positioning plate 17. The support rod 2 is located between the positioning plate 17 and the fixing plate 13. The connecting rod 20 is threaded onto the positioning plate 17. A limit hole is provided on the side of the positioning plate 17 near the clamping assembly 12. An adjusting rod 19 is inserted into the limit hole and fixedly connected to the adjusting rod 19.
[0029] The positioning rod 9 has multiple positioning holes that communicate with the limiting holes. The positioning holes are threaded with screws 18, which abut against the adjusting rod 19. By tightening or loosening the screws 18, the limiting rod 14 can move up and down in the limiting holes, thereby adjusting the distance between the adjusting plate 16 and the positioning plate 17, which is convenient for use with platforms of different thicknesses.
[0030] The implementation principle of this embodiment is as follows: In use, one end of the fixing rod 4 is threaded into the first threaded ring 3, and the other end of the fixing rod 4 is threaded into the second threaded ring 15. The distance between the adjusting plate 16 and the positioning plate 17 is adjusted by loosening and tightening the threads so that the distance between the adjusting plate 16 and the positioning plate 17 is adapted to the thickness of the platform used to place the item to be printed. The plug plate 8 is plugged into the platform, and the positioning rod 9 is tightened so that the positioning rod 9 is pressed against the platform. The plug plate 8 is fixed on the platform. At this time, under the action of the fixing rod 4 and the plug plate 8, the stability of the positioning frame is improved, and the positioning stability of the inkjet gun 10 is also improved. The positioning frame is not easy to move, the inkjet gun 10 is not easy to deviate, and the inkjet printing of the inkjet gun 10 is not easy to misalign, thus achieving the effect of improving the positioning stability of the inkjet gun 10.
