The color ribbon cartridge that printer is used
The present invention relates to the color ribbon cartridge that a kind of printer is used, particularly relate to a kind of color ribbon cartridge that prevents slack ribbon.
The color ribbon cartridge of printer is used for splendid attire one colour band, and color ribbon cartridge has the structure of the slack ribbon of preventing mostly, transports lax skidding off in the process to prevent colour band at color ribbon cartridge.
See also Fig. 1, it is the cutaway view of existing color ribbon cartridge 10, and color ribbon cartridge 10 includes a housing 12 and two rotating shafts 14, is installed on abreast in the housing 12 with rotating mode, and ribbon spool is in two rotating shafts 14.Two rotating shafts 14 respectively include two ends, and first end 22 is provided with a latch 16 and is meshed with draw-in groove 18 on the housing 12, and second end 24 is provided with another inboard that a spring 20 is connected in housing 12.Spring 20 provides an axial thrust, makes latch 16 and draw-in groove 18 tight engagement, to prevent making slack ribbon because of rotating shaft 14 rotations.When color ribbon cartridge 10 was placed into printer, printer can be pushed rotating shaft 14 to second end 24 by first end 22, and latch 16 is separated with draw-in groove 18, and rotating shaft 14 this moment just can freely be rotated.The shortcoming of color ribbon cartridge 10 is to need mounting spring 20, not only assembling be difficult for and also cost higher.
The object of the present invention is to provide a kind of color ribbon cartridge that need not use spring, thereby assembling easily and reduce cost.
The object of the present invention is achieved like this, and the color ribbon cartridge that promptly provides a kind of printer to use includes: a housing; Two rotating shafts are installed in this housing abreast in rotating mode, and this two rotating shaft respectively includes two ends, and first end of each rotating shaft is provided with a gear; And the roll coil of strip of the same colour is around in this two rotating shaft; Be provided with the side that an elastic arm is positioned at each rotating shaft first end in this housing in addition, be used for blocking the gear of this rotating shaft to prevent this rotating shaft rotation, each rotating shaft includes a circular gasket in addition and is located at this gear one side, the radius of this pad is greater than this gear, when this printer is pushed this rotating shaft to first end by second end, this pad can push away this elastic arm this gear, so that this rotating shaft is rotated.
The present invention also provides the installation method of the color ribbon cartridge that a kind of printer uses, and this color ribbon cartridge includes: a housing; Two rotating shafts are installed in this housing abreast in rotating mode, and this two rotating shaft respectively includes two ends, and first end of each rotating shaft is provided with a gear, and each rotating shaft includes a circular gasket in addition and is located at this gear one side, and the radius of this pad is greater than this gear; One colour band is wound in this two rotating shaft; And two elastic arms, to be located in this housing and to lay respectively at a side of each rotating shaft first end, the gear that is used for blocking this rotating shaft rotates to prevent this rotating shaft; The installation method of this color ribbon cartridge is: (1) inserts this printer with this color ribbon cartridge; (2) push two rotating shafts of this color ribbon cartridge to first end by second end, the pad of this rotating shaft can push away this elastic arm this gear, so that this rotating shaft is rotated.
The advantage of color ribbon cartridge of the present invention is, is provided with spring arm in its housing and fixes rotating shaft, has avoided slack ribbon, and simple in structure, and it is convenient that color ribbon cartridge is installed, thereby reduces manufacturing cost.
Below in conjunction with accompanying drawing, describe embodiments of the invention in detail, wherein:
Fig. 1 is the cutaway view of existing color ribbon cartridge;
Fig. 2 is the element figure of color ribbon cartridge of the present invention;
Fig. 3 inserts the cutaway view of printer forward position tangent line 3-3 for Fig. 2 color ribbon cartridge;
Fig. 4 inserts cutaway view behind the printer for Fig. 2 color ribbon cartridge.
See also Fig. 2, it is for the element figure of color ribbon cartridge 30 of the present invention.Color ribbon cartridge 30 includes a housing 32, two rotating shafts 34 and is installed on abreast in the housing 32 in rotating mode, and a colour band 36 is wound in two rotating shafts 34.Two rotating shafts 34 respectively include two ends 38 and 40, and first end 38 of each rotating shaft 34 is provided with a gear 42, and a circular gasket 46 is located at a side of gear 42.The radius of circular gasket 46 is greater than the radius of gear 42.Be provided with four integrated elastic arms 44 in the housing 32 in addition, be located at the both sides up and down of each rotating shaft 34 gear 42, be used for blocking the gear 42 of rotating shaft 34, in case spline axle 34 rotates in paired mode.
See also Fig. 3 and Fig. 4, Fig. 3 inserts the cutaway view of printer forward position tangent line 3-3 for Fig. 2 color ribbon cartridge, and Fig. 4 inserts cutaway view behind the printer for Fig. 2 color ribbon cartridge.Before color ribbon cartridge 30 was placed into printer, the elastic arm 44 of being located at gear both sides about in the of 42 can tightly block gear 42, in case spline axle 34 rotates.When color ribbon cartridge 30 is placed into printer, printer can be pushed rotating shaft 34 to first end 38 by second end 40, because the radius of circular gasket 46 is greater than the radius of gear 42, so the elastic arm 44 that circular gasket 46 can will be positioned at gear both sides 42 about pushes away gear 42, and makes rotating shaft 34 rotations.
Compare with existing color ribbon cartridge 10 employed spring structures, color ribbon cartridge of the present invention 30 adopts with housing 32 integrated elastic arms 44 and fixes rotating shaft 34, and preventing slack ribbon, its structure is comparatively simple and can simplify the assembly program of color ribbon cartridge 30.
The above is only for preferred embodiment of the present invention, and all various variations and modifications of doing according to claim of the present invention all should belong to the protection domain of patent of the present invention.
