The module 400 can be moved in the first direction.
그 결과, 인쇄모듈(400)이 제1 레일부(220) 및 제2 레일부(320)를 따라 마킹대상체(M)와 평행인 방향으로 전진 또는 후진되어 마킹대상체(M) 외측면의 곡면에 가격, 등급, 중량, 원산지 등의 각종 정보를 인쇄하는 기능을 수행할 수 있다.As a result, the printing module 400 moves forward or backward in a direction parallel to the marking object (M) along the first rail portion (220) and the second rail portion (320) to the curved surface of the outer surface of the marking object (M). It can perform the function of printing various information such as price, grade, weight, and country of origin.
일 실시예에서, 인쇄모듈(400)은 인쇄헤드(410), 인쇄프레임(420), 제1 레일결합부(430), 제2 레일결합부(440), 로울러(450) 및 인코더(460)를 포함할 수 있다. In one embodiment, the printing module 400 includes a print head 410, a printing frame 420, a first rail joint 430, a second rail joint 440, a roller 450, and an encoder 460. may include.
이때, 인쇄모듈(400)은 제1 레일결합부(430)에 의해 제1 레일부(220)와 결합될 수 있고, 제2 레일결합부(440)에 의해 제2 레일부(320)와 결합될 수 있다. 도 4를 참조하면, 제1 레일결합부(430)는 제1 프레임(431), 제1 슬라이더(432) 및 제1 통공(433)을 포함하고, 제2 레일결합부(440)는 제2 프레임(441), 제2 슬라이더(442) 및 제2 통공(443)을 포함할 수 있다. At this time, the printing module 400 may be coupled to the first rail portion 220 by the first rail coupling portion 430, and may be coupled to the second rail portion 320 by the second rail coupling portion 440. It can be. Referring to FIG. 4, the first rail coupling portion 430 includes a first frame 431, a first slider 432, and a first hole 433, and the second rail coupling portion 440 includes a second rail coupling portion 440. It may include a frame 441, a second slider 442, and a second through hole 443.
제1 슬라이더(432)는 제1 레일부(220) 상에서 회전 및 슬라이딩 가능하게 제1 레일부(220)와 결합되고, 제2 슬라이더(442)는 제2 레일부(320) 상에서 회전 및 슬라이딩 가능하게 제2 레일부(320)와 결합될 수 있다.The first slider 432 is coupled to the first rail unit 220 so as to be able to rotate and slide on the first rail unit 220, and the second slider 442 is capable of rotating and sliding on the second rail unit 320. It can be combined with the second rail portion 320.
또한, 제1 프레임(431)의 일측은 제1 슬라이더(432)와 결합되고, 제2 프레임(441)의 일측이 제2 슬라이더(442)와 결합될 수 있다. 이때, 제1 프레임(431)의 타측과 제2 프레임(441)의 타측이 인쇄프레임(420)과 회전가능하게 결합될 수 있다. 또한, 인쇄프레임(420)에는 인쇄헤드(410)가 결합되어 인쇄헤드(410)에 구비된 노즐부(411)를 통해 마킹대상체(M)에 마킹작업을 수행할 수 있다. Additionally, one side of the first frame 431 may be coupled to the first slider 432, and one side of the second frame 441 may be coupled to the second slider 442. At this time, the other side of the first frame 431 and the other side of the second frame 441 may be rotatably coupled to the printing frame 420. In addition, the print head 410 is coupled to the print frame 420, and a marking operation can be performed on the marking object M through the nozzle unit 411 provided in the print head 410.
이에 따라, 인쇄모듈(400)이 지향하는 수직방향 각도가 변경되어 마킹대상체(M)의 크기 또는 형상에 관계없이 인쇄헤드(410)가 마킹대상체(M)의 표면에 수직에 가까운 각도로 마킹작업이 수행될 수 있다.Accordingly, the vertical angle oriented by the printing module 400 is changed so that the print head 410 performs marking operations at an angle close to vertical to the surface of the marking object (M) regardless of the size or shape of the marking object (M). This can be done.
도 7은 제1 방향을 법선으로 하는 제1 단면 상에서 마킹대상체(M)의 마킹표면(MS)과 인쇄모듈(400)의 지향방향을 설명하기 위한 도면이다.FIG. 7 is a diagram for explaining the orientation direction of the marking surface MS of the marking object M and the printing module 400 on the first cross-section with the first direction as the normal line.
예컨대, 도 7에 예시된 바와 같이, T1<T2인 경우에도 인쇄모듈(400)이 지향하는 방향이 마킹대상체(M)의 마킹표면(MS)에 수직에 가깝게 유지될 수 있으므로 인쇄 품질이 개선될 수 있다. 또한, T1과 T2가 동일한 경우나 T1>T2인 경우에도 동일한 원리로 인쇄모듈(400)이 지향하는 방향이 마킹대상체(M)의 표면에 수직에 가깝게 유지될 수 있게 된다. 한편, 도 7의 (b)에 예시된 바와 같이 제1 가이드부(210) 및 제2 가이드부(310) 중 적어도 하나가 마킹대상체(M)에 접촉되지 않으면서 로울러(450)만 마킹대상체(M)에 접촉될 수도 있다.For example, as illustrated in FIG. 7, even when T1 < T2, the direction of the printing module 400 can be maintained close to perpendicular to the marking surface (MS) of the marking object (M), so the printing quality can be improved. You can. In addition, even when T1 and T2 are the same or when T1>T2, the direction in which the printing module 400 is oriented can be maintained close to perpendicular to the surface of the marking object (M) by the same principle. Meanwhile, as illustrated in (b) of FIG. 7, at least one of the first guide part 210 and the second guide part 310 does not contact the marking object (M) and only the roller 450 touches the marking object (M). M) may be contacted.
일 실시예에 따르면, 인쇄모듈(400)에는 인쇄프레임(420)에 회전가능하게 구비되는 로울러(450)가 더 포함되며, 로울러(450)는 인쇄헤드(410)의 상방에 위치되는 제1 로울러(451) 및 제3 로울러(453)와 인쇄헤드(410)의 하방에 위치되는 제2 로울러(452) 및 제4 로울러(454)가 구비될 수 있다.According to one embodiment, the printing module 400 further includes a roller 450 rotatably provided on the printing frame 420, and the roller 450 is a first roller located above the print head 410. 451 and a third roller 453 and a second roller 452 and a fourth roller 454 located below the print head 410 may be provided.
이때, 제1 로울러(451) 내지 제4 로울러(454)는 마킹대상체(M) 외측면의 곡면에 접촉되어 회전될 수 있다. 이로 인해, 인쇄헤드(410)가 마킹대상체(M)의 표면으로부터 적절한 거리를 유지하면서 잉크를 분사할 수 있게 된다. 이에 따라, 인쇄 품질이 개선되는 동시에 인쇄헤드(410) 및 인쇄헤드(410)에 구비되는 노즐부(411)의 오염이나 손상 위험성을 낮출 수 있다.At this time, the first roller 451 to the fourth roller 454 may be rotated in contact with the curved surface of the outer surface of the marking object M. As a result, the print head 410 can spray ink while maintaining an appropriate distance from the surface of the marking object M. Accordingly, the printing quality can be improved and the risk of contamination or damage to the print head 410 and the nozzle unit 411 provided in the print head 410 can be reduced.
본 발명의 일 실시예에 따르면, 인쇄모듈(400)에는 인코더(460)가 더 포함될 수 있으며, 인코더(460)는 인쇄프레임(420)의 일측에 구비되고 로울러(450)의 회전량에 따라 인쇄 모듈의 인쇄 진행정도를 제어할 수 있다.According to one embodiment of the present invention, the printing module 400 may further include an encoder 460, and the encoder 460 is provided on one side of the printing frame 420 and prints according to the rotation amount of the roller 450. You can control the printing progress of the module.
일 실시예에 따르면, 특정 마킹대상체(M)에 대한 마킹내용이 인쇄모듈(400)에 전송된 뒤에 로울러(450)의 회전에 따라 인쇄과정이 진행될 수 있다. 마킹대상체(M)가 상대적으로 큰 경우에는 마킹내용 전체가 인쇄되는데 아무런 문제가 없지만, 마킹대상체(M)가 상대적으로 매우 작은 경우에는 마킹내용 전체가 인쇄되지 않고 마킹대상체(M)가 빠져나가는 경우가 발생될 수 있다.According to one embodiment, after marking content for a specific marking object (M) is transmitted to the printing module 400, the printing process may proceed according to the rotation of the roller 450. If the marking object (M) is relatively large, there is no problem in printing the entire marking content, but if the marking object (M) is relatively very small, the entire marking content is not printed and the marking object (M) comes out. may occur.
예컨대, 인쇄모듈(400)이 특정 마킹대상체(M)에 대해 전송받은 마킹내용이 로울러(450)가 3회 회전되어야 전부 인쇄된다고 가정하였을 때, 소형 마킹대상체(M)의 경우 로울러(450)가 전부 회전하기 전에 1~2회만 회전되고 인쇄모듈(400)을 통과하는 경우가 발생할 수 있다. 이러한 경우, 다음에 진입하는 마킹대상체(M)에 이전에 인쇄되지 않은 마킹내용이 분사되어 마킹정보와 마킹대상체(M)가 불일치하는 경우가 발생하여 마킹시스템(1000)에 대한 신뢰도가 떨어지는 상황이 생길 수 있는 것이다.For example, assuming that the marking content received by the printing module 400 for a specific marking object (M) is completely printed when the roller 450 is rotated three times, in the case of a small marking object (M), the roller 450 There may be cases where it is rotated only 1-2 times and passes through the printing module 400 before it rotates completely. In this case, previously unprinted marking content is sprayed onto the next entering marking object (M), resulting in a mismatch between the marking information and the marking object (M), which reduces the reliability of the marking system (1000). It can happen.
도 3의 (a)를 참조하면, 제1 로울러(451) 및 제3 로울러(453) 사이의 거리는 제2 로울러(452) 및 제4 로울러(454) 사이의 거리보다 길게 설정될 수 있다는 점이 이해될 수 있을 것이다. 이에 따라, 제3 로울러(453)가 제1 방향으로 이동되어 설치되도록 함으로써 제3 로울러(453)가 마킹대상체(M)와의 접촉을 마지막까지 유지할 수 있다.Referring to (a) of FIG. 3, it is understood that the distance between the first roller 451 and the third roller 453 may be set to be longer than the distance between the second roller 452 and the fourth roller 454. It could be. Accordingly, by moving the third roller 453 in the first direction and installing it, the third roller 453 can maintain contact with the marking object M until the end.
이로 인해, 소형 마킹대상체(M)가 인쇄헤드(410)를 통과한 이후에도, 제3 로울러(453)가 조금 더 회전되도록 하여 소형 마킹대상체(M)에 인쇄되지 않은 마킹내용이 인쇄헤드(410) 외부로 모두 분사되도록 하여 다음 마킹대상체(M)에 대한 마킹과정 중 오류가 발생되지 않도록 할 수 있다.As a result, even after the small marking object (M) passes through the print head 410, the third roller 453 is rotated a little more so that the marking content not printed on the small marking object (M) is transferred to the print head 410. It is possible to prevent errors from occurring during the marking process for the next marking object (M) by ensuring that it is all sprayed to the outside.
도 8 및 도 9를 참조하면, 제1 가이드부(210)에는 제1 만곡돌출부(217)가 구비될 수 있다. 이때, 제1 가이드부의 후단부(212) 부근이 제1 가이드레일(720)에 가까워지는 방향으로 돌출되도록 만곡됐다가 제1 가이드레일(720)에서 멀어지는 방향으로 만곡되어 제1 가이드부의 후단부(212)가 제1 가이드레일(720)에서부터 멀어지도록 하는 형상으로 제1 만곡돌출부(217)가 형성될 수 있다. 또한, 제1 가이드부(210)는 전체적으로 부드러운 곡선형으로 이루어지도록 하여 마킹대상체(M)의 이동과정에서 마킹대상체(M)나 제1 가이드부(210)가 급작스럽게 움직이는 현상을 최소화할 수 있다. 한편, 제2 가이드부(310)에도 제2 만곡돌출부가 구비될 수 있으며, 중복되는 설명은 생략한다.Referring to FIGS. 8 and 9, the first guide portion 210 may be provided with a first curved protrusion 217. At this time, the vicinity of the rear end 212 of the first guide part is curved to protrude in a direction approaching the first guide rail 720, and then curved in a direction away from the first guide rail 720 to form the rear end of the first guide part ( The first curved protrusion 217 may be formed in a shape that moves the guide rail 212 away from the first guide rail 720. In addition, the first guide part 210 is made to have a smooth curved shape overall, so that the phenomenon of sudden movement of the marking object (M) or the first guide part 210 during the movement of the marking object (M) can be minimized. . Meanwhile, the second guide portion 310 may also be provided with a second curved protrusion, and overlapping descriptions will be omitted.
마킹대상체(M)가 제1 방향으로 이동되는 과정에서 마킹대상체(M)가 흔들리면서 순간적으로 제2 방향으로 이동될 수 있는데, 마킹대상체(M)의 인쇄과정이 종료된 후에 마킹대상체(M)가 제2 방향으로 흔들려서 인쇄모듈(400)의 제3 로울러(453) 등에 마킹대상체(M)가 다시 접촉되거나 부딧히는 상황이 발생될 경우 인쇄내용의 싱크가 어긋나는 문제가 발생될 수 있는데, 본 실시예에 따른 마킹시스템에서는 제1 가이드부(210)에 제1 만곡돌출부(217)가 구비됨에 따라, 제1 만곡돌출부(217)를 지나간 마킹대상체(M)가 흔들리면서 제2 방향으로 이동되더라도 인쇄모듈(400)에 다시 마킹대상체(M)가 부딧히는 문제를 원천적으로 차단할 수 있다. In the process of moving the marking object (M) in the first direction, the marking object (M) may shake and momentarily move in the second direction. After the printing process of the marking object (M) is completed, the marking object (M) may be moved. If the marking object (M) is shaken in the second direction and comes into contact with or collides with the third roller (453) of the printing module (400) again, a problem may occur where the printed content is out of sync. In this embodiment, In the marking system according to the example, the first guide part 210 is provided with the first curved protrusion 217, so even if the marking object M that has passed the first curved protrusion 217 is shaken and moved in the second direction, the printing module The problem of the marking object (M) colliding with (400) can be fundamentally prevented.
일 실시예에서, 인쇄모듈(400)은 인쇄가 시작되기 전에 제1 가이드부의 후단부(212)에 가장 가까운 곳에서 위치하고 있다가, 마킹대상체(M)가 제1 가이드부(210)에 접촉하기 시작하면 적절한 타이밍에 인쇄모듈(400)이 제2 방향으로 이동되면서 인쇄를 수행하며, 인쇄가 완료된 이후에는 다시 제1 방향으로 이동하면서 초기위치로 복귀할 수 있다. 여기서, 마킹대상체(M)가 제1 방향으로 충분히 이동되지 못한 상태에서 인쇄모듈(400)이 초기위치로 복귀하게 되면, 인쇄모듈(400)의 복귀과정에서 인쇄모듈(400), 특히 제3 로울러(453)가 마킹대상체(M) 접촉되거나 부딧히는 문제가 발생될 수 있다. 그러나, 본 실시예에 따른 마킹시스템에서는 제1 가이드부(210)에 제1 만곡돌출부(217)가 구비됨에 따라 마킹대상체가 제1 만곡돌출부(217)에 접촉되고 있는 상태에서는 인쇄모듈(400)과 마킹대상체(M)가 접촉되거나 부딧히는 현상이 발생될 위험성을 현저하게 감소시킬 수 있으므로, 전술한 문제가 예방될 수 있다.In one embodiment, the printing module 400 is located closest to the rear end 212 of the first guide portion before printing begins, and then the marking object M contacts the first guide portion 210. Once started, the printing module 400 moves in the second direction at an appropriate timing to perform printing, and after printing is completed, it can return to the initial position by moving again in the first direction. Here, when the printing module 400 returns to the initial position while the marking object (M) is not sufficiently moved in the first direction, the printing module 400, especially the third roller, during the returning process of the printing module 400 A problem may occur where (453) touches or bumps into the marking object (M). However, in the marking system according to this embodiment, the first guide portion 210 is provided with the first curved protrusion 217, so that the printing module 400 is in contact with the marking object when it is in contact with the first curved protrusion 217. Since the risk of the marking object M being contacted or bumped into can be significantly reduced, the above-mentioned problems can be prevented.
일 실시예에서, 제2 실린더(610) 및 로드(620)로부터 제1 레일부(210)까지의 거리의 최소값은 제2 실린더(610) 및 로드(620)로부터 제2 레일부(310)까지의 거리의 최소값과 같을 수 있다. 즉, 제2 실린더(610) 및 로드(620)은 제1 레일부(210)와 제2 레일부(310) 사이의 중간 위치에 구비될 수 있다는 것이다. 이에 따라, 로드(620)가 제2 실린더(610)로 인입되는 과정이나 돌출되는 과정에서 인쇄모듈(400)과 제1 레일부(210) 및 제2 레일부(310)의 결합부위에 과도하게 편중된 하중이 부여되는 문제가 예방될 수 있다.In one embodiment, the minimum value of the distance from the second cylinder 610 and the rod 620 to the first rail portion 210 is the distance from the second cylinder 610 and the rod 620 to the second rail portion 310. It may be equal to the minimum value of the distance. That is, the second cylinder 610 and the rod 620 may be provided at an intermediate position between the first rail portion 210 and the second rail portion 310. Accordingly, during the process of the rod 620 being retracted into or protruding from the second cylinder 610, excessive pressure is applied to the joint portion between the printing module 400 and the first rail portion 210 and the second rail portion 310. The problem of impartial load can be prevented.
일 실시예에서, 연결편(532)의 일측은 레일홀더(531)에 결합되고, 연결편(532)의 타측은 제2 실린더(610) 또는 로드(620)에 결합되도록 할 수 있다. 이에 따라 복원력 인가부(510) 및 이동력 인가부(600)의 안정성이 향상될 수 있다.In one embodiment, one side of the connecting piece 532 may be coupled to the rail holder 531, and the other side of the connecting piece 532 may be coupled to the second cylinder 610 or the rod 620. Accordingly, the stability of the restoring force applying unit 510 and the moving force applying unit 600 may be improved.
일 실시예에서, 제1 슬라이더(432)는 제1 레일부(220)와 면접촉되는 부싱으로 구현될 수 있으며, 이 경우 접촉부위가 볼 베어링 등으로 구현되는 경우에 비하여 안정성 및 내구성이 개선될 수 있다.In one embodiment, the first slider 432 may be implemented as a bushing in surface contact with the first rail portion 220. In this case, stability and durability may be improved compared to a case where the contact area is implemented with a ball bearing, etc. You can.
도 8 및 도 9를 참조하면, 제1 프레임(431) 및 제2 프레임(441)은 연결프레임(435)에 구비될 수 있다. 그리고, 이 연결프레임(435)에 커넥터(630)이 결합될 수 있다. 또한, 인쇄프레임은 연결프레임(435)에 회동가능하게 결합될 수 있다.Referring to Figures 8 and 9, the first frame 431 and the second frame 441 may be provided in the connection frame 435.
