Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of marine equipment technology, specifically to a nameplate printer quick positioning device. Background Technology

[0002] During shipbuilding, the specific names and functions of all equipment accessories, such as fittings, pressure gauges, pressure sensors, thermometers, etc., need to be affixed to them. This will allow the new ship's crew to quickly familiarize themselves with the ship's piping systems and the functions of the equipment after delivery.

[0003] In the early stages of construction, most nameplates are purchased according to a list during the design phase, and then affixed to the site once the system is complete. However, during the actual system functionality or equipment mooring test phases, and the ship's sea trials, the shipowner and the receiving crew will request additional nameplates and markings that were not previously available. As the shipbuilding cycle continues to shorten, the process of making new nameplates involves steps such as statistics, ordering, purchasing, production, delivery, classification, and affixing, which takes a considerable amount of time.

[0004] To resolve the conflict between quickly producing and affixing nameplates, a new nameplate printer was purchased for printing steel nameplates on board. The printer's mounting plate has two positioning strips, but these strips cannot be directly used with the commonly used 80X30, 100X25, and 110X20mm nameplates on board. The positioning can only be manually adjusted vertically and horizontally, and the accuracy of the positioning must be visually checked. This is time-consuming and laborious when printing a large number of nameplates, and the misalignment of the positioning by different personnel can cause the printed text on the nameplates to be skewed. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to address the problems of slow positioning speed and low positioning accuracy of nameplates in existing technologies, and to provide a rapid positioning device for nameplate printers that offers high positioning speed and high positioning accuracy.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: a nameplate printer quick positioning device, including an imprinter, a placement plate, a nameplate, and a positioning plate. A positioning strip is bolted onto the placement plate. The positioning strip is a rectangular strip, and each adjacent side of the positioning strip is perpendicular to each other. The positioning plate includes a positioning plate with a positioning notch for the positioning strip at its top, which fits into one corner of the positioning strip. A nameplate positioning notch is provided at the bottom of the positioning plate, which fits into one corner of the nameplate.

[0007] Preferably, the nameplate positioning notch is a right-angle notch, and the positioning strip positioning notch is a right-angle notch.

[0008] Preferably, the upper right-angled side of the nameplate positioning notch and the lower right-angled side of the positioning strip positioning notch are parallel to each other.

[0009] Compared with the prior art, this utility model has the following advantages: By adding a positioning plate to the original positioning strip, the positioning plate has a positioning notch for aligning with the positioning strip and a nameplate positioning notch for aligning with the nameplate. When printing a large number of nameplates of the same size, the positioning plate can be aligned with the positioning strip by directly aligning the positioning notch of the corresponding positioning plate with the positioning strip and aligning one corner of the nameplate of the corresponding size with the nameplate positioning notch, thus achieving the positioning of the corresponding nameplate without the need for repeated manual adjustment and observation. The positioning of the nameplate is fast and accurate. Attached Figure Description

[0010] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of this utility model.

[0011] Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the positioning plate in this utility model.

[0012] Among them, 1-placement plate, 2-positioning strip, 3-nameplate, 4-positioning plate, 41-positioning notch for positioning strip, 42-lower right-angled edge, 43-nameplate positioning notch, 44-upper right-angled edge. Detailed Implementation

[0013] The present invention will be further illustrated below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be understood that these embodiments are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. After reading the present invention, any modifications of the present invention in various equivalent forms by those skilled in the art will fall within the scope defined by the appended claims.

[0014] like Figures 1 to 2 The rapid positioning device for the nameplate 3 printer shown includes an imprinter, a placement plate 1, a nameplate 3, and a positioning plate 4. A positioning strip 2 is bolted onto the placement plate 1. The positioning strip 2 is a rectangular strip, and each adjacent side of the positioning strip 2 is perpendicular to each other. The positioning plate 4 has a positioning notch 41 at its top, which fits into one corner of the positioning strip 2. The bottom of the positioning plate 4 has a nameplate positioning notch 43, which fits into one corner of the nameplate 3. The nameplate positioning notch 43 is a right-angle notch, and the positioning notch 41 is a right-angle notch. The upper right-angle side 44 of the nameplate positioning notch 43 and the lower right-angle side 42 of the positioning notch 41 are parallel to each other.

[0015] The working process and principle of this utility model are as follows: A corresponding positioning plate 4 is set according to the specifications of the nameplate 3. Specifically, three different models of positioning plates 4 are designed based on different nameplate 3 specifications of 80X30, 100X25, and 110X20mm. Nameplates 3 of different specifications are placed against the corresponding positioning plates 4, so that the positioning notch 41 of the positioning plate 4 is close to the positioning strip 2, and the nameplate positioning notch 43 of the positioning plate 4 is close to the nameplate 3. During the first run, the cursor center of the nameplate 3 printer is aligned with the center of the nameplate 3, and the specific parameters and specifications are calibrated and fixed. Afterwards, each time a nameplate 3 of the same specification is printed, only the corresponding positioning plate 4 needs to be called, and the nameplate 3 and positioning plate 4 are placed according to the corresponding notch positions. The data of the nameplate 3 is then input into the nameplate 3 printer to locate the center of the nameplate 3. This utility model can achieve rapid and accurate positioning for a large number of nameplates of the same specification, without the need for repeated positioning of the nameplate center, reducing errors caused by manual visual adjustment and improving the accuracy and efficiency of nameplate printing.
