Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of processing equipment technology, and in particular relates to a coding device with a sensor. Background Technology
[0002] Inkjet printers are industrial devices that control ink droplets to form markings (such as dates, batch numbers, QR codes, etc.) on the surface of moving products. They are widely used in packaging production lines in the food, pharmaceutical, and chemical industries. To ensure printing stability, existing inkjet printers are typically equipped with multiple functional modules, including ink paths, pumps, and component movement mechanisms. However, current inkjet printers mainly rely on manual observation and positioning to determine whether the component has moved into place before proceeding with the subsequent coding operation. This method has low detection efficiency and is prone to errors. Utility Model Content

For example, the sensor 400 is a photoelectric sensor, specifically a reflective photoelectric sensor. When the component to be processed is located at the coding station, the photoelectric sensor detects the component's location by detecting the reflected signal. Alternatively, the sensor 400 is a through-beam photoelectric sensor, including a transmitter and a receiver positioned opposite the transmitter. When the component to be processed is located at the coding station, the component blocks the signal emitted by the transmitter, and the receiver does not receive the signal, thus detecting the component's location. Another example is a pressure sensor, positioned below the coding station. When the component to be processed is located at the coding station, the pressure sensor detects its location based on the detected pressure value. Finally, the sensor 400 is a limit switch, located adjacent to the coding station. When the component to be processed is located at the coding station, the component touches the limit switch, thus detecting its location.
