Abstract

PURPOSE:To enable printing on a thick body to be printed such as a book and a notebook or a body to be printed which has a curved surface, by manually pushing a printing means and operating the printing means to print according to the velocity thereof. CONSTITUTION:When printing on a printing part 15 of a body 14 to be printed, printing is conducted while moving a main body 13 in a moving direction 12-1 by pushing it by a hand. With the main body 13 thus pushed, a roller is rotated in a rotating direction 12-1 to detect the velocity of the movement, and a rotating speed transmitting means 2 transmits velocity information 7 to controlling circuit 4. The circuit 4 decides a printing time based on the velocity information 7 and printing data 8 sent through an interface 3, and outputs a printing command 9 to a driving circuit 5. The circuit 5 supplies with a printing means 6 with a driving current 10 according to the command 9, thereby operating the means 6 to print. Accordingly, by manually moving the printing means 6 and operating the means 6 according to the velocity thereof, it is possible to print on a thick body to be printed such as a book and a notebook or a body to be printed which has a curved surface.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to printing devices, and more particularly to manual printing devices.

Prior Art In a conventional printing device, as shown in FIG.
7 into a mechanism such as the tractor 16 or platen 18,
Printing was carried out by moving the first printing stage 19 placed on the carrier 20 in a straight line from side to side on the guide seat 71-21 by the spacing motor 22.

In this way, in the conventional printing device, the object to be printed 17 is drawn into the mechanism, and the printing means 19 moves in a straight line.
As shown in FIG. 4, there was a drawback that it was not possible to print on a thick printing object 14 such as wood or a notebook, or on a printing object with a curved surface, as shown in FIG.

Purpose of the Invention The present invention has been made to eliminate the drawbacks of the conventional products as described above, and is a manual printing method that can print on thick printing materials such as books and notebooks, or printing materials with curved surfaces. The purpose is to provide equipment.

Embodiment Next, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing one embodiment of the present invention. In the figure, this embodiment includes a roller 1 that detects the moving speed,
A rotational speed transmitting means 2 that transmits this moving speed, an interface 3 that processes print data, a control circuit 4 that controls printing operation according to the moving speed and print data, and a drive circuit 5 that drives the printing means 6. and a printing means 6.

FIGS. 3(a) and 3(b) are internal configuration diagrams showing one embodiment of the present invention, and the block diagram in FIG. 1 can be configured in this way. FIG. 4 is a diagram showing an example of printing according to an embodiment of the present invention. The operation of an embodiment of the present invention will be explained using FIG. 1, FIG. 3, and FIG. 4.

The cable 12 is fixed to the main body 13 by a connector 11, and is a cable for receiving data (print data) of the content to be printed. cable 12
The print data received by the interface 3 is processed by the interface 3 and sent to the control circuit 4.

When the main body 13 prints on the printing location 15 of the printing object 14, the main body 13 is manually pushed and moved in the movement direction 12-1 to perform printing. When the main body 13 moves in the movement direction 12-1, the O-ra 1 rotates in the rotation direction 12-2 due to this movement, detects the movement speed, and transmits the movement speed information 7 to the control circuit 4 by the rotation speed transmission means 2. introduce. The control circuit 4 determines the printing timing based on the moving speed information 7 and the print data 8 from the ink face 3, and outputs a print command 9 to the drive circuit 5. The drive circuit 5 supplies a drive current 10 to the printing means 6 in response to the printing command 9, thereby printing on the first printing stage 6.

FIG. 2 is a flowchart of the control circuit 4.

At J3 in the figure, when the moving speed information 7 is transmitted from the rotational speed transmitting means 2 to the control circuit 4, the control circuit 4 calculates the moving distance Q from the moving speed information 7 in step 41, and calculates the moving distance Q in step 42. Compare with preset print bits. In step 43, it is checked whether the transfer IIJJ distance and the printing pitch match, and if they match, printing becomes possible, and in step 44, the drive circuit 5 is selected based on the dot data from step 45, and the drive circuit 5 is selected. Print command 9 is output to. If the moving distance and the printing pitch do not match, there may be a reason such as insufficient printing, so the process returns to step 42 and the moving distance and the printing pitch are compared.

The print data 8 sent from the interface 3 is decomposed into dots in step 45 of the control circuit 4, and sent as dot data to step 44. In step 44, the drive circuit 5 necessary for printing is selected based on this data, and the drive circuit 5 necessary for printing is selected. A printing command 9 is sent out to cause the printing means 6 to print.

In this way, by moving the printing means 6 by hand and printing according to the moving speed, printing can be performed on a thick printing object such as wood or a notebook or a printing object with a curved surface. be able to.

In addition, since the paper feed mechanism and spacing motor 22, etc. that are included in the conventional printing head are no longer necessary, the scale of the device can be easily downsized, and the power consumption can be significantly reduced compared to the conventional method. .

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION According to the present invention, by manually moving the printing means and performing printing according to the moving speed, thick printing objects such as books and paper sheets or curved surfaces can be printed. This has the advantage that it is possible to provide a manual printing device that can print on a printing object having a
