Description

Print template and tablet printer

The present invention relates to a print template and a flatbed printer using the same. The present invention is based on a Chinese patent application filed on May 4, 2012, the application number of which is incorporated herein by reference.

Existing conventional printers usually only print paper, and there is nothing to do with printing on metal, plastic, wood, and the like. Therefore, the printing of these materials is usually achieved by technical means such as transfer. However, there are many intermediate links in the transfer, and it is necessary to print the skilled hands to operate, so the popularity is not high.

With the continuous development of society, the demand for personalized printing has gradually increased, and flat-panel printers have emerged. Among them, some manufacturers have mastered the technology of converting ordinary printers into flatbed printers. The modification method comprises disassembling the printer casing and the printing die component, further separating the printing module into a base, a movement and a rotating spindle; separating the cleaning unit on the base; providing a platform, and cleaning the remaining part of the base The unit is respectively mounted on the platform, and a spacer is added at the bottom of the cleaning unit, and the height of the spacer is consistent with the thickness of the preset printing template. The rotating spindle is mounted on the remaining part of the base and fixed, and the movement is installed on the remaining part of the base. a spacer is added between the movement and the remaining portion of the base, the height of the spacer is consistent with the thickness of the preset printing template; and the first printing template bracket is added to the front portion of the remaining portion of the base along the feeding direction of the printing template, A second print template carriage is added to the rear of the base along the feed direction of the print template. This modified flatbed printer retains the power-driven portion of the print media feed system, so the feed accuracy is high.

However, in such a flatbed printer, the print template is usually a rigid member made of a hard material. In the process of printing the template feeding, the bottom surface is in direct contact with the rotating main shaft of the flatbed printer, which is easy to cause wear on the rotating main shaft, thereby affecting the feeding precision of the printing template, thereby affecting the printing quality.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION A primary object of the present invention is to provide a print template that reduces wear on a rotating spindle.

Another object of the present invention is to provide a flatbed printer capable of reducing wear of a rotating spindle.

In order to achieve the above main object, the present invention provides a printing template, comprising a template body, the template body is substantially in the form of a flat plate, and the upper surface of the template body is provided with a concave portion for receiving a printing medium; The lower surface of the body is covered with a flexible layer.

In the printing template of the present invention, the lower surface of the template body is covered with a flexible layer. During operation, the surface of the rotating spindle of the printer does not directly contact the lower surface of the template body, but is in contact with the flexible layer, thus effectively reducing the wear of the rotating spindle, thereby improving the feeding accuracy of the printing template, thereby improving the printing quality. .

In order to achieve the above other object, the present invention provides a flatbed printer comprising a printer body, a print template, the print template further comprising a template body, the template body being substantially in the form of a flat plate, and the upper surface of the template body is provided with a concave portion The recess is for receiving a printing medium; the lower surface of the template body is covered with a flexible layer.

In the flatbed printer of the present invention, the lower surface of the print template body is covered with a flexible layer. During operation, the surface of the rotating spindle of the printer does not directly contact the lower surface of the template body, but is in contact with the flexible layer, thus effectively reducing the wear of the rotating spindle, thereby improving the feeding accuracy of the printing template, thereby improving the printing quality. .

2 is a schematic illustration of an inkjet system within an embodiment of a flatbed printer.

3 is a schematic diagram of print template feeding of a flatbed printer embodiment.

4 is a perspective view of an embodiment of a print template.

The invention will now be further described with reference to the drawings and embodiments.

Referring to FIG. 1, the tablet printer 1 includes a printer main body 11 and a print template 12. A printer inkjet system, a drive system, a circuit control system, and the like are also provided in the printer main body (neither shown in FIG. 1). The print template 12 is movably mounted on the printer main body 11 and can be fed straight in line with respect to the printer main body 11.

Referring to FIG. 2, the printing inkjet system 21 is disposed in a flatbed printer, which includes a printing carriage 211, and a printing head 212 is provided at the bottom of the printing carriage 211. The print carriage 211 performs left and right reciprocating motion along the guide rail 213 during printing. The ink cartridge 31 is mounted in a carriage 211 in which ink is contained, and the ink cartridge 31 is fluidly connected to the print head 212 to supply ink to the print head 212.

Referring to FIG. 3, the printer main body 11 is provided with a rotating main shaft 111 and an elastic roller 112. A certain gap is formed between the rotating main shaft 111 and the elastic roller 112, and the printing template 12 passes through when feeding straight from the front to the rear in the direction of the arrow. The gap.

With continued reference to FIG. 4, the print template 12 includes a template body 121 that is generally flat and has a leading bevel 122 at its front end. The upper surface of the template body 121 is provided with a concave portion 123 for accommodating the printing medium 13, which may be a rigid plate such as wood board or plastic. The lower surface of the template body 121 is covered with a flexible layer (not visible in the drawing). The flexible layer completely covers the lower surface of the template body 121. The flexible layer is a thin member, and the surface is rough, and can generate a large friction with the contact object. A common flexible layer suitable for the present invention has a flexible layer such as paper or cloth. The flexible layer may be fixed to the lower surface of the template body 121 by double-sided tape or other bonding. Further, the upper surface of the template body 121 is also covered with a flexible layer which conforms to the flexible layer covering the lower surface of the template body 121.

In the above embodiment, the upper and lower surfaces of the template body are covered with a flexible layer. During the working process, the flexible layer of the upper surface is in contact with the elastic roller, and the flexible layer of the lower surface is in contact with the rotating main shaft, and the direct contact between the existing printing template and the elastic roller and the rotating main shaft can reduce the rotating main shaft and the elastic roller. The wear and tear, thereby improving the feed accuracy of the print template, thereby improving the print quality.
