[0023] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention.
[0024] Please see Figures 1-5As shown, this utility model provides a technical solution: a printer paper feed position adjustment mechanism, including a support and fixing component 1 for stable support, a transmission component 2 for driving is provided inside the support and fixing component 1, a position adjustment component 3 is assembled on one side of the transmission component 2, and the transmission component 2 is used to adjust the circumferential relative position of the transmission gear 3011 and the main gear 3012 inside the position adjustment component 3.
[0025] As one implementation method in this embodiment, please refer to Figures 4-5 As shown, the position adjustment assembly 3 includes an adjustment plate 301. An arc-shaped fixed base 302 is connected to the free end of the adjustment plate 301. A rack 303, meshing with the transmission assembly 2, is provided on the outer end face of the fixed base 302. A paddle 304 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the adjustment plate 301. A double gear 305 is rotatably connected to the adjustment plate 301. An angle plate 306 is fixedly connected to the rear of the adjustment plate 301. A connecting plate 307 is fixedly connected to the rear of the angle plate 306. A slot is provided on one side of the connecting plate 307. An arc-shaped fixed base 308 is fixedly connected to the rear of the connecting plate 307. One side of the double gear 305 is near... A rotating shaft 309 is rotatably connected to the center of the slot. A fixing ring 3010 is fixedly sleeved on the outside of the rotating shaft 309. A transmission gear 3011 is rotatably connected to the rear of the fixing ring 3010. A connecting plate 307 is connected to the rear of the transmission gear 3011. A top and bottom main gear 3012 is rotatably connected to the front of the transmission gear 3011 away from the fixing ring 3010. Both the transmission gear 3011 and the top and bottom main gears 3012 mesh with the double gear 305 for transmission. A positioning ring 3013 is fixedly connected to the rear of the transmission gear 3011 near the slot. A limit ring 3014 is fixedly connected to the rear of the connecting plate 307 near the slot.
[0026] Furthermore, when the external transmission component 2 drives the fixed base 302 through the meshing of the gear set 203 and the rack 303, the adjusting swing plate 301 will move synchronously under the drive of the fixed base 302, thereby driving the double gear 305 to rotate. At this time, the double gear 305 maintains meshing with the transmission large gear 3011 and the main gear 3012 respectively. While driving the rotating shaft 309 to rotate synchronously, the swing of the adjusting swing plate 301 will link the angle plate 306, the connecting plate 307 and the fixed base 308 to form synchronous movement. Through the meshing transmission of the rack 303 and the gear set 203, the entire mechanism achieves precise displacement. The adjusting swing plate 301, the fixed base 302 and the lever 304 will... The relative position of the circumferential rotation of the transmission gear 3011 and the main gear 3012 directly determines the synchronization accuracy of the subsequent actuators. The position adjustment component 3 dynamically changes the meshing phase of the two gears through the mechanical structure, which can effectively offset the positional error caused by machining tolerances and installation deviations during the assembly process, ensuring the accuracy of power transmission. The swing design of the adjustment plate 301 gives the mechanism flexible adjustment capability, allowing the transmission gear 3011 and the main gear 3012 to be finely adjusted within a certain angle to adapt to the transmission requirements under different working conditions. It can also compensate for the gap by fine adjustment after long-term use and component wear, thereby extending the service life of the mechanism.
[0027] As one implementation method in this embodiment, please refer to Figures 4-5 As shown, a sensor assembly 4 is provided at the lower end of the lever 304. The sensor assembly 4 includes a mounting plate 401. A slotted photoelectric sensor 402 is provided at the upper end of the mounting plate 401. The center of the channel of the slotted photoelectric sensor 402 coincides with the central axis of the lever 304.
[0028] Furthermore, when the position adjustment component 3 is activated, the lever 304 moves synchronously with the adjustment plate 301 and gradually enters the channel of the slotted photoelectric sensor 402. Since the center of the channel of the slotted photoelectric sensor 402 coincides with the central axis of the lever 304, it can be ensured that the lever 304 accurately enters the channel. At this time, the lever 304 can block or transmit photoelectric signals to enable the slotted photoelectric sensor 402 to detect its displacement status in real time, thereby indirectly reflecting the adjustment status of the position adjustment component 3, realizing real-time monitoring and precise control of gear phase adjustment, and providing reliable guarantee for the adjustment of the printer paper feed position adjustment mechanism and its safe operation.
[0029] As one implementation method in this embodiment, please refer to Figures 4-5 As shown, the transmission assembly 2 includes a motor 201, which is fixedly installed on one side of the lower end of the fixed bracket 103. The drive end of the motor 201 is connected to a worm gear 202, and a speed-changing gear set 203 is provided on one side of the worm gear 202. The worm gear 202 and the speed-changing gear set 203 mesh with each other.
[0030] Furthermore, the transmission component 2 is securely installed in the fixed bracket 102 and fixed bracket 103 supporting the fixed component 1, providing it with reliable support. When the motor 201 of the transmission component 2 starts, the drive end drives the worm 202 to rotate. The worm 202 meshes with the gear set 203, transmitting power to the gear set 203. Through the meshing transmission between the gears, the conversion of speed and torque is realized, ultimately providing a suitable power output for the subsequently associated position adjustment component 3.
[0031] Working principle: The transmission component 2 is stably supported by two brackets of the support and fixing component 1, and the position adjustment component 3 is supported and fixed by the fixing bracket 101. The mounting bracket 104 supports and fixes the double gear 305. After the motor 201 starts, it drives the worm gear 202 to rotate. After meshing with the transmission gear set 203, the transmission gear set 203 meshes with the rack 303, driving the fixing base 302 to drive the adjusting swing plate 301 to move, causing the double gear 305 to rotate. The double gear 305 meshes with the two main gears, driving the rotating shaft 309 and the related components to move synchronously. The adjusting plate 301 moves toward the sensor assembly 4. The circumferential position of the two main gears determines the synchronization accuracy of the actuator. The position adjusting assembly 3 cancels out the error by changing its meshing phase, ensuring accurate transmission. The swing of the adjusting plate 301 can finely adjust the gear angle to adapt to the working conditions, compensate for wear, and extend the service life. When the position adjusting assembly 3 is activated, the lever 304 moves with the adjusting plate 301. Because the central shaft coincides, it accurately enters the slotted photoelectric sensor 402. The lever 304 allows the sensor to detect the displacement in real time by blocking or transmitting light, reflecting the adjustment status, monitoring the gear phase, and ensuring that the paper feed adjustment is in place and safe.
