DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a line drawing for drawing a line or picture by ejecting a predetermined solution or ink particles onto a flat substrate such as paper or cloth while moving the head of the ink jet printer vertically and horizontally. The present invention relates to an inkjet device.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art As a conventional ink jet apparatus, for example, as disclosed in JP-A-8-197814, ink particles are ejected from a head of an ink-jet printer to form numbers, characters, or special items such as expiration date or date of manufacture. Some print bar codes. Further, as a vacuum packaging apparatus, for example, when a package placed on a transport belt is transported to a print position provided on a sending side as shown in JP-A-10-329810,
Some printers are provided on a traversing guide so as to be freely traversable and print the expiration date and the date of manufacture.

[0003]

However, a conventional ink-jet apparatus for printing numbers and characters, such as that disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 8-197814, does not move the head of the ink-jet printer vertically and horizontally. I couldn't draw figures or drawings. Further, for example, a vacuum packaging apparatus disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. H10-329810 is provided with a printer so that it can be traversed and prints a shelf life and a date of manufacture, but cannot draw a diagram or a picture. Was.

According to the present invention, a paper or cloth is made to draw a predetermined solution or ink particle on a flat work such as a paper or cloth by ejecting a predetermined solution or ink particles while moving the head vertically and horizontally. It is an object of the present invention to obtain a line drawing ink jet apparatus capable of drawing a line of a set shape with a liquid on a cloth or cloth or the like, discoloring or dissolving the line, or drawing an arbitrary character or picture on a label, wrapping paper, towel or the like with ink.

An ink jet printer comprising a vertical and horizontal moving unit comprising a moving unit and a horizontal moving unit that moves freely in the horizontal direction, and sprays particles of a predetermined solution on the upper surface of the work in the vertical and horizontal moving unit that is vertically and horizontally movable with respect to the gantry. Attach the head,
The head unit is connected to a circulation mechanism of an inkjet printer for pressure-feeding a predetermined solution, and the vertical movement unit, the horizontal movement unit, the head unit and the circulation unit are connected to control means for controlling the entire drawing inkjet apparatus, The control means is provided with a setting input means for setting and inputting a line, a character or a picture having an arbitrary shape and size.

According to the above arrangement, when a line, a character, or a picture having an arbitrary shape and size is set and input to the control means by the setting input means, the head section is moved vertically and horizontally by the vertical and horizontal moving section under the control of the control means. By moving it movably, particles of a predetermined solution can be sprayed on the upper surface of the work to draw a line, a character or a picture having a set shape and size.

Further, if a predetermined solution sprayed onto the upper surface of the work by the ink jet printer under pressure by the circulation mechanism of the ink jet printer and sprayed on the upper surface of the work is a predetermined ink which can be printed on a label, a wrapping paper, a towel or the like, By moving the head part vertically and horizontally, it is possible to draw a character or a picture set with a predetermined ink on a label, wrapping paper, towel or the like as a work.

[0008] Alternatively, a predetermined solution sprayed onto the upper surface of the work by a pressure unit in the circulation mechanism of the ink jet printer and sprayed on the upper surface of the work by the head unit of the ink jet printer is a liquid for decolorizing or dissolving paper or cloth. The part was moved freely in the vertical and horizontal directions to draw a line of a set shape with a liquid on paper or cloth as a work, so as to be decolorized or dissolved.
