It should be understood that this case can have various changes in different aspects, all of which do not depart from the scope of this case, and the descriptions and drawings therein are essentially for illustrative purposes, rather than limiting the case.

Figures 1A and 1B are three-dimensional structural diagrams of the ink cartridge adjusting mechanism of the first embodiment of the present invention. Fig. 2A and Fig. 2B are exploded views of the ink cartridge adjusting mechanism of the first embodiment of the present invention. In this embodiment, the ink cartridge adjustment mechanism 1 includes a base 10, a first adjustment plate 20a, a second adjustment plate 20b, a first adjustment portion 30a, a first adjustment element 40a, and a second adjustment portion 30b and the second adjustment element 40b. For example, the base 10 is assembled and installed on a transmission mechanism (not shown), and the base 10 is displaced to the required working area through the driving of the transmission mechanism. The transmission mode of the base 10 is not limited in this case, and no longer Repeat. In this embodiment, the base body 10 has at least one accommodating seat 11, which is assembled to accommodate at least one first adjusting plate 20a and at least one second adjusting plate 20b. In this embodiment, the first adjustment board 20a is disposed on at least one accommodating seat 11, and is assembled to carry a first ink cartridge 50a, and the first adjustment board 20a is adjusted so that the first ink jet 50a is seated oppositely Body 10 displacement. The first adjusting plate 20a has a first end 21a and a second end 22a, wherein the first end 21a and the second end 22a of the first adjusting plate 20a are opposite to each other, and the first end 21a is pivotally connected to the base 10 , The second end 22a is slidably connected to the seat body 10. In this embodiment, the first end 21a of the first adjustment plate 20a is pivotally connected to the base 10 through a screw 23a, for example, and the second end 22a of the first adjustment plate 20a is, for example, a stepped screw 24a. Connected to the base 10. When the step screw 24a of the second end 22a of the first adjustment board 20a rotates, the second end 22a of the first adjustment board 20a can be assembled and adjusted relative to the first end 21a of the first adjustment board 20a. Vertical height, but it is not a necessary technical feature that limits this case. It should be noted that the stepped screw 24 a penetrates a first guide groove 25 a to connect the second end 22 a of the first adjusting plate 20 a to the base 10. In this embodiment, when the step screw 24a of the second end 22a of the first adjusting plate 20a rotates, the second end 22a of the first adjusting plate 20a can still rotate around the first end 21a and move along the first guide The groove 25a slides. That is, the vertical height adjustment operation of the second end 22a of the first adjustment board 20a relative to the first end 21a of the first adjustment board 20a does not affect the second end 22a of the first adjustment board 20a relative to the first The end 21a is adjusted in the horizontal direction. The detailed adjustment method will be explained later.

In this embodiment, the second adjustment board 20b is also disposed on the accommodating seat 11 and is adjacent to the first adjustment board 20a.

When the step screw 24b of the second end 22b of the second adjusting plate 20b rotates, the second end 22b of the second adjusting plate 20b can be assembled and adjusted relative to the first end 21b of the second adjusting plate 20b. Vertical height, but it is not a necessary technical feature that limits this case. It should be noted that the stepped screw 24 b penetrates a second guide groove 25 b to connect the second end 22 b of the second adjusting plate 20 b to the base 10. In this embodiment, when the step screw 24b of the second end 22b of the second adjusting plate 20b rotates, the second end 22b of the second adjusting plate 20b can still rotate around the first end 21b and move along the second guide The groove 25b slides. That is to say, the vertical height adjustment of the second end 22b of the second adjusting plate 20b relative to the first end 21b of the second adjusting plate 20b does not affect the second end 22b of the second adjusting plate 20b relative to the first The end 21b is adjusted in the horizontal direction. On the other hand, when the first adjusting plate 20a completes the adjustment of the vertical height of the second end 22a of the first adjusting plate 20a relative to the first end 21a of the first adjusting plate 20a, the second adjusting plate 20b can continue to complete the adjustment of the vertical height of the second end 22b of the second adjustment plate 20b relative to the first end 21b of the second adjustment plate 20b, so that the first ink cartridge on the first adjustment plate 20a 50a and the second ink cartridge 50b on the second adjusting plate 20b have the same vertical height.
