In this embodiment, the cup container 5 is placed on the swivel base 23 with the opening facing upward, and when the cup container 5 is placed on the swivel base 23, the printing opening 212 faces the side of the cup container 5, in other embodiments In the sample, different disposition directions can be selected according to requirements, for example, the cup container 5 is placed with the opening facing downward and a pattern is printed on the bottom of the cup container 5, etc., but not limited to this; in this embodiment, the drive group 24 is For the motor, the transmission group 25 is a transmission shaft. In other embodiments, the transmission group can also be an equivalent component capable of transmitting power, such as a gear group or a pulley group, which is not limited thereto.

More specifically, the rotating base 23 has an air guide channel 231 formed on the top surface and extending along the extension direction of the axis L, the fixed group 26 has a suction nozzle 261 disposed on the rotating base 23, and a connection The negative pressure member 262 of the air guide channel 231, the suction nozzle 261 has a communication hole communicating with the air guide channel 231, the negative pressure member 262 uses the negative pressure to make the cup container 5 and the rotating seat 23 rotate synchronously, thereby The cup container 5 placed on the rotating base 23 is adsorbed on the rotating base 23 and rotated synchronously with the rotating base 23 . In this embodiment, the fixing group 26 selects an air suction motor as the negative pressure member 262, and cooperates with the suction nozzle 261 to achieve the effect of simply fixing the cup container 5. In other embodiments, the fixing group 26 also Other components can be selected to achieve the effect of fixing the cup container 5, such as a pneumatic jig or glue, etc., but not limited to this.

It should be noted that, in this embodiment, the jet printing unit 3 is fixed to the casing 21 , and the cup container 5 rotates relative to the jet printing unit 3 . In other embodiments, the jet printing unit 3 may also be used. The cup container 5 can be moved while the cup container 5 is fixed, or both the printing unit 3 and the cup container 5 can be moved, which is not limited thereto.

The control unit 4 is electrically connected to the printing unit 3 and the driving group 24, and includes an operation group 41 operable to input commands to control the printing unit 3 and the rotary base 23, and an operation group 41 for storing a plurality of presets A storage group (not shown) of images (not shown), the control unit 4 can control the printing unit 3 to print the preset images on the cup container 5 . It is worth mentioning that, in this embodiment, the operation group 41 is a control panel disposed on the casing 21 , and the storage group is a detachable storage element (such as a memory card). In other embodiments, the operation group 41 can also be a wired or wireless operating handle, a handheld device such as a mobile phone or a tablet, or a device with connection and input functions such as a computer, and the storage group can be a corresponding memory card or hard disk, etc., It is not limited to this; in this embodiment, the storage group stores a plurality of preset images, and one or more preset images can be printed on the cup container 5. In other implementations, it can also be based on The user needs to store only one preset image, which is not limited thereto; and the preset image can be a text, a design, a trademark, or a combination of the foregoing, which is not limited thereto.

During operation, the user can pre-edit a plurality of the preset images that he wants to print, store the preset images in the storage group of the control unit 4, and then store the cup container 5 to be printed. Place it on the rotating base 23, and then operate the operating group 41 to control the driving group 24 to drive the rotating base 23 to rotate, so that the cup container 5 can be rotated, and cooperate with the printing unit 3 to print the preset image. After the cup container 5 is on the side, the cup container 5 can be taken out. When printing different patterns, only one or more of the preset images need to be selected, and it can even be edited and stored in the storage group in real time. Print it out again.

Compared with the prior art, through the combination of the rotating seat 23, the printing unit 3 and the control unit 4, the present invention can instantly print a preset image on the cup container 5 according to individual requirements, instead of pre-printing. Excessive cup containers 5 are produced to achieve the effect of improving adaptability and reducing inventory.

To sum up, the new type of cup and container jet printer can indeed achieve the purpose of the new type.
