Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of dye-sublimation printer technology, and in particular to a rotatable dye-sublimation printer platform. Background Technology

[0002] Dye-sublimation printing technology sublimates solid dyes directly into a gaseous state through heating, allowing the dyes to penetrate into the printing medium. Upon cooling, the dyes condense to form vibrant colors and strong adhesion. This technology, with its advantages of fine image quality and high fidelity, is widely used in photo printing, personalized gift customization, and industrial signage printing. Its core printing process places extremely high demands on the flatness of the medium, the uniformity of heating, and positioning accuracy. The printer platform, as the core component carrying the medium, directly determines the final printing effect and the applicability of the equipment.

[0003] Existing dye-sublimation printer platforms, when requiring double-sided printing, cannot easily lift and flip the plate-shaped printing media according to the actual printing needs, resulting in the need for manual lifting and flipping of the plate-shaped printing media, thus affecting printing efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a rotatable dye-sublimation printer platform to solve the problem that existing dye-sublimation printer platforms are inconvenient to lift and flip plate-shaped printing media according to actual printing needs.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a rotatable thermal sublimation printer platform, including a conveyor platform;

[0006] The top of the conveying platform is equipped with the main body of the dye-sublimation printer, and the top of the conveying platform is equipped with a lifting mechanism.

[0007] The lifting mechanism includes a first support frame fixedly installed on the top of the conveying platform. A guide plate is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the first support frame, and a rack is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the first support frame. A guide column is movably connected inside the first support frame. A second support frame is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the guide column.

[0012] Preferably, the guide columns are arranged symmetrically about the central axis of the second support frame, and the second support frame is U-shaped.

[0013] Preferably, a flipping mechanism is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the second support frame. The flipping mechanism includes a second drive motor fixedly installed on the outer wall of the second support frame. The output shaft of the second drive motor is fixedly connected to a first rotating shaft via a coupling. A first transmission wheel is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the first rotating shaft. A transmission belt is movably connected to the outer wall of the first transmission wheel. A second transmission wheel is movably connected to the inner wall of the transmission belt. A second rotating shaft is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the second transmission wheel.

[0017] The present invention provides a rotatable sublimation printer platform, the advantages of which are:

[0018] By setting up a lifting mechanism and starting the first drive motor, the gear fixedly connected to the outer wall of the rotating rod can be rotated, causing the gear to rotate and rise along the rack, thereby lifting the plate-shaped printing medium adsorbed on the suction cup, which facilitates the lifting of the plate-shaped printing medium before flipping.

[0019] Furthermore, the sliding cooperation between the receiving plate and the guide plate can improve the stability of the second support frame as it slides upward.

[0020] Furthermore, the stability of the second support frame can be further improved by the guiding action of the guide column.

[0021] By using the set flipping mechanism and starting the second drive motor, the first transmission wheel fixedly connected to the outer wall of the first rotating shaft can be rotated. Under the transmission of the transmission belt, the second transmission wheel can be rotated, thereby driving the adsorption plate fixedly connected to the outer wall of the second rotating shaft to flip, which facilitates the flipping and turning of the plate-shaped printing medium adsorbed by the suction cup.

[0022] Furthermore, the use of multiple suction cups can enhance the stability of adsorption and flipping of plate-shaped printing media. Attached Figure Description

[0030] 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.

[0031] Please see Figures 1-6 The present invention provides a rotatable sublimation printer platform, including a conveyor platform 1.

[0032] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, a sublimation printer body 2 is mounted on the top of the conveyor platform 1, and a lifting mechanism 3 is mounted on the top of the conveyor platform 1. The lifting mechanism 3 includes a first support frame 31 fixedly mounted on the top of the conveyor platform 1, a guide plate 32 fixedly connected to the inner wall of the first support frame 31, a rack 33 fixedly connected to the outer wall of the first support frame 31, a guide column 34 movably connected inside the first support frame 31, a second support frame 35 fixedly connected to the bottom end of the guide column 34, a receiving plate 36 fixedly connected to the outer wall of the second support frame 35, and a first drive motor fixedly connected to the outer wall of the receiving plate 36. 37. The output shaft of the first drive motor 37 is fixedly connected to a rotating rod 38 via a coupling. A gear 39 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the rotating rod 38. The receiving plate 36 forms a sliding structure with the first support frame 31 via a guide plate 32. The receiving plate 36 has a slotted design. The gear 39 forms a rotating structure with the receiving plate 36 via the rotating rod 38. The gear 39 meshes with the rack 33. The first support frame 31 has an open design. The first support frame 31 and the guide column 34 form a sliding structure. The guide column 34 is symmetrically arranged around the central axis of the second support frame 35. The second support frame 35 is U-shaped.

[0033] By placing the plate-shaped printing medium on the conveying platform 1 and starting the conveying platform 1, the printing medium is transported to the body 2 of the dye-sublimation printer for printing. After single-sided printing is completed, the plate-shaped printing medium is continued to be transported above the suction plate 47. The suction cup 48 is started to position the plate-shaped printing medium. The first drive motor 37 is started to rotate the gear 39 fixedly connected to the outer wall of the rotating rod 38. Since the gear 39 is meshed with the rack 33, the gear 39 can rotate and rise along the rack 33, causing the receiving plate 36 to slide along the guide plate 32, which drives the guide column 34 fixedly connected to the top of the second support frame 35 to slide along the first support frame 31, so that the plate-shaped printing medium adsorbed on the suction cup 48 is lifted.

[0034] Reference Figure 4 and Figure 6As shown, a tilting mechanism 4 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the second support frame 35. The tilting mechanism 4 includes a second drive motor 41 fixedly installed on the outer wall of the second support frame 35. The output shaft of the second drive motor 41 is fixedly connected to a first rotating shaft 42 via a coupling. A first transmission wheel 43 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the first rotating shaft 42. A transmission belt 44 is movably connected to the outer wall of the first transmission wheel 43. A second transmission wheel 45 is movably connected to the inner wall of the transmission belt 44. A second rotating shaft 46 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the second transmission wheel 45. An adsorption plate 47 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the adsorption plate 47, and suction cups 48 are installed on the outer wall of the adsorption plate 47. The first drive wheel 43 forms a rotating structure with the second support frame 35 through the first rotating shaft 42. The first drive wheel 43 is meshed with the drive belt 44, and the drive belt 44 is meshed with the second drive wheel 45. The second drive wheel 45 forms a rotating structure with the second support frame 35 through the second rotating shaft 46. The adsorption plate 47 forms a rotating structure with the second rotating shaft 46 and the second support frame 35. The suction cups 48 are evenly distributed on the outer wall of the adsorption plate 47.

[0035] By starting the second drive motor 41, the first transmission wheel 43, which is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the first rotating shaft 42, can rotate. Since the first transmission wheel 43 is meshed with the transmission belt 44, and the transmission belt 44 is meshed with the second transmission wheel 45, the second transmission wheel 45 can rotate, thereby causing the adsorption plate 47, which is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the second rotating shaft 46, to flip over. This causes the plate-shaped printing medium adsorbed by the suction cup 48 to flip over. The flipped plate-shaped printing medium falls onto the conveying platform 1 and is transported again to the body 2 of the thermal sublimation printer for secondary printing, thus achieving quick double-sided flip printing.

[0036] Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
