Abstract

A mechanism for translating a printer sponge module. The mechanism is used to connect the printer sponge module to a printer base and comprises a driving system (100), a synchronous belt and a guiding apparatus. The synchronous belt comprises a first synchronous belt (210), a third synchronous belt (230) and a second synchronous belt (220) that are sequentially connected, and the first synchronous belt (210) and the second synchronous belt (220) are disposed parallel to each other and connected to the printer sponge module respectively. The guiding apparatus is fixed to the printer base and connected to the printer sponge module, and comprises a first guiding apparatus and a second guiding apparatus that are disposed parallel to each other and parallel to the first synchronous belt (210) or the second synchronous belt (220). The driving system drives the first synchronous belt (210) and drives the second synchronous belt (220) through the third synchronous belt (230). The first synchronous belt (210) and the second synchronous belt (220) drive the printer sponge module simultaneously to move along a track determined by the guiding apparatus. Through the driving of multiple synchronous belts, two ends of the printer sponge module are driven simultaneously to move towards the same direction, thereby preventing jamming effectively.

Technical field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of printing equipment, and more particularly to a printer sponge module translation mechanism.

[0002] Industrial printers suitable for large-size printing media such as ceramics or glass use inkjet printing methods to print inks of various colors through a nozzle on a printing medium and then to perform printing. The printer nozzles are provided with a plurality of mutual errors. The micropores of the crucible, the ink is ejected through the micropores; the ink contains minerals, and the printing between the long crumbs will leave minerals on the nozzle, which may affect the print quality and may even damage the nozzle. In order to maintain the printing equipment, the printer runs for a while. The nozzle needs to be cleaned. In addition, in order to maintain the nozzle, after the printer finishes working, it is necessary to suck out the excess ink in the nozzle to avoid the clogging of the nozzle due to the retention of the ink, which is conducive to saving ink and reducing cost.

[0007] The printer sponge module translation mechanism of the utility model utilizes a timing belt to drive and limit the four degrees of freedom of the printer component by the guiding device, thereby achieving high automation of the movement of the printer component and ensuring accurate positioning and operation of the printer component. . For large-size printing equipment, in order to meet the printing requirements of large-width printing media, the width of the printing device is relatively increased, and the weight is relatively increased. It is necessary to have a guiding device supporting both ends of the printer sponge module to support the printer sponge module, the printer. When the sponge module moves, the guiding devices at both ends must move in the same direction, and drive one end of the printer sponge module separately. It is difficult to ensure that the other end of the same is moving, which is prone to jamming. The transmission through multiple timing belts is the same. Drive the two ends of the printer sponge module to move in the same direction, especially suitable for large-size printing equipment, effectively avoiding the phenomenon of jamming.

Especially for printers with multiple printer modules, precise control of the running distance helps prevent printer components from running and accidentally colliding with other printer modules. Damage to the printer, or even an accident. The mutual cooperation of the timing belt and the guiding device makes the printer assembly linkage translation mechanism of the present invention have a stable structure. In order to minimize the size of the printer, the first timing belt is disposed in parallel above the first guiding device, and the second timing belt is disposed in parallel above the second guiding device.
