It should be noted that the embodiments and features of the embodiments may be combined with each other without conflict. The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the embodiments with reference to the attached drawings.
Tape cassette embodiment:
referring to fig. 1 to 7, there is shown a preferred structure of the tape cassette in the present embodiment. As shown in the drawing, the tape cassette includes a housing 1, a printing film 2 rotatably accommodated in the housing 1, a thermal tape 3, a first separating mechanism 5, and a second separating mechanism 6.
It will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that the carbon ribbon 3 is used to print content on the print film 2. A ribbon guide 15 is also provided within the housing 1, the ribbon guide 15 being for guiding the ribbon 3 into the printing zone 13. A transport path 4 is provided between the ribbon guide 15 and the side wall 110 in the housing 1. The printing film 2 and the carbon ribbon 3 are output to a printing area 13 through a conveying channel 4, the printing film 2 and the carbon ribbon 3 are overlapped in the printing area 13, and a printing head on the printer prints the overlapped printing film 2 and the carbon ribbon 3, so that the printing content is printed on the printing film 2. After printing, the printing film 2 is separated from the thermal transfer ribbon 3, and the thermal transfer ribbon guiding device 15 is also used for guiding the separated thermal transfer ribbon 3 into the thermal transfer ribbon recycling device.
In this embodiment, the first separating mechanism 5 and the second separating mechanism 6 are both connected to the housing 1 and are disposed in the conveying passage 4 at intervals, and the first separating mechanism 5 and the second separating mechanism 6 are both used for separating the printing film 2 and the carbon ribbon 3 in the conveying passage 4. Specifically, a preset distance is provided between the first separating mechanism 5 and the second separating mechanism 6, and it should be noted that, in specific implementation, the preset distance may be determined according to an actual situation, and this embodiment does not set any limitation.
In operation, the printing film 2 and the carbon ribbon 3 move into the conveying channel 4 respectively, and due to the isolation effect of the first separating mechanism 5 and the second separating mechanism 6, the printing film 2 and the carbon ribbon 3 do not contact in the conveying channel 4, but are output from the conveying channel 4 to the printing area 13 through the first separating mechanism 5 and the second separating mechanism 6 respectively. In the printing area 13, the printing film 2 and the carbon ribbon 3 are superposed, and the printing head on the printer prints on the superposed printing film 2 and carbon ribbon 3.
It can be seen that, in this embodiment, by providing the first separating mechanism 5 and the second separating mechanism 6 in the conveying passage 4, the printing film 2 and the carbon ribbon 3 are isolated in the conveying passage 4, and the problem that the printing film 2 and the carbon ribbon 3 are bonded in the conveying passage 4 in the prior art is solved.
Referring to fig. 1 to 7, in the above embodiment, the first separating mechanism 5 and the second separating mechanism 6 are provided at intervals in the transport path 4 in the output direction of the printing film 2 or the thermal transfer ribbon 3, and the first separating mechanism 5 is provided near the exit of the transport path 4. Specifically, the first separating mechanism 5 and the second separating mechanism 6 are sequentially disposed in the output direction of the print film 2 or the thermal transfer ribbon 3. The print film 2 may be positioned below the first and second separating mechanisms 5 and 6 (with respect to the position shown in fig. 2) and the carbon ribbon 3 may be positioned above the first and second separating mechanisms 5 and 6 (with respect to the position shown in fig. 2) during conveyance. In the conveying process, the printing film 2 and the carbon ribbon 3 pass through the second separating mechanism 6, then pass through the first separating mechanism 5, and then are output to the conveying channel 4 to enter the printing area 13.
It can be seen that, in the present embodiment, the first separating mechanism 5 and the second separating mechanism 6 are sequentially arranged along the output direction of the printing film 2 or the carbon ribbon 3, so that the printing film 2 and the carbon ribbon 3 can be better separated, and adhesion between the printing film 2 and the carbon ribbon 3 is avoided.
Referring to fig. 1 to 7, in the above embodiment, the second separating mechanism 6 may include a second separating plate 61 and a second guide post 62. Wherein the second guiding pillar 62 is connected to the sidewall of the second separating plate 61 away from the first separating mechanism 5. Specifically, the second separating plate 61 is attached to the casing 1, and since the first separating mechanism 5 is provided near the outlet of the conveying passage 4, a first side wall (a side wall at the left end in fig. 2) of the second separating plate 61 is close to the first separating mechanism 5, a second side wall (a side wall at the right end in fig. 2) opposite to the first side wall is away from the first separating mechanism 5, and the second guide post 62 is attached to the second side wall of the second separating plate 61.
The outer diameter of the second guide post 62 is larger than the thickness of the second separation plate 61, and when the printing film 2 and the carbon ribbon 3 pass through the second separation mechanism 6 in the conveying passage 4 during operation, since the outer diameter of the second guide post 62 is larger than the thickness of the second separation plate 61, the printing film 2 and the carbon ribbon 3 are in contact with only the second guide post 62 and are guided to the first separation mechanism 5 by the second guide post 62.
It can be seen that, in this embodiment, the second guide post 62 guides the printing film 2 and the carbon ribbon 3 to ensure that the printing film 2 and the carbon ribbon 3 move in the conveying passage 4 through the second separating mechanism 6, and by setting the outer diameter of the second guide post 62 to be larger than the thickness of the second separating plate 61, the printing film 2 or the carbon ribbon 3 is only in contact with the second guide post 62, so that the friction between the printing film 2 and the carbon ribbon 3 and the second separating mechanism 6 is reduced, and the printing film 2 and the carbon ribbon 3 are ensured to be smoothly output. In addition, the second separating plate 61 is provided to ensure that the printing film 2 and the carbon ribbon 3 are kept in a separated state when passing through the second separating mechanism 6, and to avoid adhesion of the printing film 2 and the carbon ribbon 3.
Referring to fig. 1 to 7, in the embodiments, the tape cassette may further include a first lower stopper rib 7. The first lower limiting rib 7 is protruded from a bottom wall 120 in the housing 1 along a width direction of the conveying passage 4 (a direction from the ribbon guide 15 to the side wall 110 in the housing shown in fig. 2), and is disposed on a first side (an upper side shown in fig. 3) of the second separating mechanism 6, and the first lower limiting rib 7 is used for limiting the lower end surface 32 of the ribbon 3. Specifically, the first lower limit rib 7 is provided perpendicular to the output direction of the carbon ribbon 3.

The first lower limiting rib 7 may be a strip-shaped structure protruding from the bottom wall 120 of the housing. The first side of the second separating means 6 is the side of the second separating means 6 facing away from the side wall 110 in the housing 1.
It can be seen that, in this embodiment, the lower end surface 32 of the carbon ribbon 3 can be limited by providing the first lower limiting rib 7, so as to prevent the carbon ribbon 3 from moving. Moreover, the carbon ribbon 3 is output by the reel in the housing 1, and the reel has a certain distance with the bottom wall 120 in the housing 1, so the arrangement of the first lower limiting rib 7 can support the lower end face 32 of the carbon ribbon 3, and offset the distance between the lower end face 32 of the carbon ribbon 3 and the bottom wall 120 in the housing 1, so that the lower end face 32 of the carbon ribbon 3 always keeps the same distance with the bottom wall 120 in the housing 1 in the output process, and the carbon ribbon 3 is prevented from inclining towards the bottom wall 120 in the housing 1 in the output process, and the carbon ribbon 3 is ensured to be output stably.
Referring to fig. 5 to 7, in the above embodiment, the tape cassette may further include the first upper stopper rib 16. Wherein, the first upper limiting rib 16 is protruded from the top wall 130 of the housing 1 along the width direction of the conveying channel 4 (the direction from the ribbon guide 15 to the side wall 110 of the housing shown in fig. 2) and is disposed on the first side of the second separating mechanism 6, and the first upper limiting rib 16 is used for limiting the upper end face 31 of the ribbon 3. Specifically, the first upper limit rib 16 is provided perpendicular to the output direction of the carbon ribbon 3. The first upper limiting rib 16 may be a strip structure protruding from the top wall 130 of the housing 1. Preferably, the first upper limiting rib 16 corresponds to the first lower limiting rib 7.
It can be seen that, in this embodiment, through setting up first upper limit rib 16, carry on spacingly to the up end 31 of carbon ribbon 3, prevent the removal of carbon ribbon 3 to, first upper limit rib 16 and first lower limit rib 7 combined action have restricted the removal of the up end 31 and the lower terminal surface 32 of carbon ribbon 3, make the carbon ribbon 3 by the restriction in the space between first upper limit rib 16 and first lower limit rib 7, so as to coincide with printing film 2 better.
Referring to fig. 1 to 7, in the embodiments, the tape cassette may further include a second lower limiting rib 8. The second lower limiting rib 8 is protruded from the bottom wall 100 of the housing 1 along the width direction of the conveying passage 4 (the direction from the ribbon guide 15 to the side wall 110 in the housing shown in fig. 2), and is disposed on the second side (the lower side shown in fig. 3) of the second separating mechanism 6, and the second lower limiting rib 8 is used for limiting the lower end surface 22 of the printing film 2. Specifically, the second lower restriction rib 8 is provided perpendicular to the output direction of the printing film 2, and the second lower restriction rib 8 may be provided in the width direction of the conveyance path 4 and extend from the second separation plate 61 to the side wall 110 inside the housing 1. The second lower limiting rib 8 may be a strip-shaped structure protruding from the bottom wall 120 of the housing. The second side of the second separating mechanism 6 is the side of the second separating mechanism 6 close to the side wall 110 inside the housing 1.
It can be seen that, in this embodiment, by providing the second lower limiting rib 8, the lower end surface 22 of the printing film 2 can be limited, and the printing film 2 is prevented from moving. Moreover, because the printing film 2 is output by the reel in the casing 1, the reel has a certain distance with the bottom wall 120 in the casing 1, the arrangement of the second lower limiting rib 8 can support the lower end face 22 of the printing film 2, and offset the distance between the lower end face 22 of the printing film 2 and the bottom wall 120 in the casing 1, so that the lower end face 22 of the printing film 2 always keeps the same distance with the bottom wall 110 in the casing 1 in the output process, the printing film 2 is prevented from inclining towards the bottom wall 120 in the casing 1 in the output process, and the printing film 2 is ensured to be output stably.
Referring to fig. 5 to 7, in the above embodiment, the tape cassette may further include a second upper stopper rib 17. Wherein, the second upper limiting rib 17 is protruded from the top wall 130 in the housing 1 along the width direction of the conveying channel 4 (the direction from the ribbon guide 15 to the side wall 110 in the housing shown in fig. 2) and is disposed at the second side of the second separating mechanism 6, and the second upper limiting rib 17 is used for limiting the upper end face 21 of the printing film 2. Specifically, the second upper limit rib 17 is provided perpendicular to the output direction of the printing film 2. The second upper limiting rib 17 may be a strip structure protruding from the top wall 130 of the housing 1. Preferably, the second upper limiting rib 17 corresponds to the second lower limiting rib 8.
It can be seen that, in this embodiment, through setting up spacing muscle 17 on the second, carry on spacingly to the up end 21 of printing membrane 2, prevent the removal of printing membrane 2 to, spacing muscle 17 and second down spacing muscle 8 combined action have restricted the up end 21 of printing membrane 2 and the removal of terminal surface 22 on the second, make printing membrane 2 by the restriction in the space between spacing muscle 17 and second down, so that coincide with carbon ribbon 3 better.
Referring to fig. 1 to 4, in each of the above embodiments, the first separating mechanism 5 includes a first separating plate 51 and a first guide post 52. Wherein the first guide pillar 52 is connected to the side wall of the first separator plate 51 near the outlet of the conveyor channel 4. Specifically, the first separating plate 51 is attached to the casing 1, a first side wall (a side wall at the left end in fig. 2) of the first separating plate 51 is close to the outlet of the conveyance path 4, and a second side wall (a side wall at the right end in fig. 2) opposite to the first side wall is close to the second separating mechanism 6. The first guide post 52 is connected to a first sidewall of the first separation plate 51.
The outer diameter of the first guide post 52 is larger than the thickness of the first separation plate 51, and when the printing film 2 and the carbon ribbon 3 pass through the first separation mechanism 5 during operation, the outer diameter of the first guide post 52 is larger than the thickness of the first separation plate 51, so that the printing film 2 and the carbon ribbon 3 are in contact with only the first guide post 52 and are guided into the printing region 13 by the first guide post 52.
It can be seen that in the present embodiment, by setting the outer diameter of the first guide post 52 to be larger than the thickness of the first separation plate 51, so that the printing film 2 and the carbon ribbon 3 are in contact with only the first guide post 52 and are no longer in contact with the first separation plate 51, the friction between the printing film 2 and the carbon ribbon 3 and the first separation plate 51 is reduced, and smooth output of the printing film 2 and the carbon ribbon 3 to the printing area 13 is ensured. In addition, the first separating plate 51 is provided to ensure that the printing film 2 and the carbon ribbon 3 are kept in a separated state when passing through the first separating mechanism 5, and to prevent adhesion of the printing film 2 and the carbon ribbon 3.
Referring to fig. 1 to 6, in the above embodiment, the tape cassette may further include a first stopper mechanism. Wherein, first stop gear connects in first separating mechanism 5 and is close to the exit end setting of transfer passage 4, and first stop gear is used for spacing to the up end 21 and the lower terminal surface 22 of printing film 2. The first limiting mechanism comprises a first upper limiting piece 11 and a first lower limiting piece 12. The first upper stopper 11 is provided protruding from the top end (upper end shown in fig. 2) of the first guide column 52 in the first separating mechanism 5, and is configured to stop the upper end surface 21 of the print film 2. The first lower stopper 12 is provided protruding from the bottom end (lower end shown in fig. 2) of the first guide post 52 in the first separating mechanism 5, and is configured to stop the lower end surface 22 of the print film 2. The distance between the first upper limiting piece 11 and the first lower limiting piece 12 is smaller than the distance between the second upper limiting rib 17 and the second lower limiting rib 8.
Specifically, a space formed between the first upper stopper 11 and the first lower stopper 12 is used for the output of the printing film 2. The top end of the first guide post 52 is connected to the top wall 130 in the housing 1, and the first upper stopper 11 is also connected to the top wall 130 in the housing 1 and is connected to the top end of the first guide post 52. The first upper limiting member 11 may be a strip structure protruding from the top wall 130 in the housing 1. The bottom end of the first guiding column 52 is connected to the bottom wall 120 of the housing 1, and the first lower limiting member 12 is also connected to the bottom wall 120 of the housing 1 and connected to the bottom end of the first guiding column 52. The first lower limiting member 12 may be a strip-shaped structure protruding from the bottom wall 120 of the housing 1.
In operation, the printing film 2 passes through the second guiding column 62 in the second separating mechanism 6 in the conveying channel 4, and under the action of the second guiding column 62, the printing film 2 is guided to the second side of the second separating mechanism 6 and is continuously output along the conveying channel 4. In the output process, the printing film 2 is limited by the second upper limiting rib 17 and the second lower limiting rib 8, so that the printing film 2 is controlled in the space between the second upper limiting rib 17 and the second lower limiting rib 8, and the printing film 2 is prevented from moving up and down (relative to the position shown in fig. 2). The printing film 2 continues to move to the first guide column 52 of the first separation mechanism 5, and under the action of the first limiting mechanism, the printing film 2 is controlled in the space between the first upper limiting member 11 and the first lower limiting member 12, so that the printing film 2 is further limited. The printing film 2 continues to move and is output to the printing area 13 to be overlapped with the carbon ribbon 3 for printing.
It can be seen that, in this embodiment, the printing film 2 before being input into the printing area 13 is further limited by the first limiting mechanism, that is, the space where the printing film 2 is strung up and down is further reduced, the offset of the position of the printing film 2 is prevented, the printing film 2 is ensured to be output according to a preset track, and then the carbon ribbon 3 and the printing film 2 are better overlapped in the printing area 13, and the printing content is ensured to meet the printing requirement. In addition, the distance between the first upper limiting member 11 and the first lower limiting member 12 is reduced so as to further limit the position of the printing film 2, so that the position of the printing film 2 input to the printing area 13 is more accurate, and the position deviation of the printing film 2 is effectively avoided.
Referring to fig. 1 to 4, in the above embodiment, the tape cassette may further include a second stopper mechanism. The second limiting mechanism is connected to the housing 1 and disposed at the outlet end of the conveying channel 4, and the second limiting mechanism is used for limiting the upper end face 31 and the lower end face 32 of the carbon ribbon 3. The second limiting mechanism comprises a second upper limiting piece 9 used for limiting the upper end face 31 of the carbon ribbon 3 and a second lower limiting piece 10 used for limiting the lower end face 32 of the carbon ribbon 3. The distance between the second upper limiting piece 9 and the second lower limiting piece 10 is smaller than the distance between the first upper limiting rib 16 and the first lower limiting rib 7. Specifically, the second upper stopper 9 may be connected to the top wall 130 inside the housing 1. The second upper limiting member 9 may be a strip structure protruding from the top wall 130 of the housing 1. The second lower retainer 10 may be attached to the bottom wall 120 inside the housing 1. The second lower stopper 10 may be a strip-shaped structure protruding from the bottom wall 120 of the housing 1.
It will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that the ribbon guide 15 comprises a guide plate 14, the guide plate 14 being disposed at an exit end of the transport path 4, the guide plate 14 being for guiding the ribbon 3 from the transport path 4 into the printing area 13.
Specifically, the second limiting mechanism is connected to the guide plate 14, wherein the second upper limiting member 9 is connected to a first end (an upper end shown in fig. 2) of the guide plate 14, the second lower limiting member 10 is connected to a second end (a lower end shown in fig. 2) of the guide plate 14, and a space formed between the second upper limiting member 9 and the second lower limiting member 10 is used for outputting the carbon ribbon 3.
In operation, the carbon ribbon 3 passes through the second guiding column 62 in the second separating mechanism 6 in the conveying channel 4, and under the action of the second guiding column 62, the carbon ribbon 3 is guided to the first side of the second separating mechanism 6 and is continuously output along the conveying channel 4. In the output process, the carbon ribbon 3 is limited by the first upper limiting rib 16 and the first lower limiting rib 7, so that the carbon ribbon 3 is controlled in the space between the first upper limiting rib 16 and the first lower limiting rib 7, and the carbon ribbon 3 is prevented from moving up and down (relative to the position shown in fig. 2). The carbon ribbon 3 continuously moves and is output to the outlet end of the conveying channel 4 through the first separating mechanism 5, and under the action of the second limiting mechanism, the carbon ribbon 3 is controlled in the space between the second upper limiting piece 9 and the second lower limiting piece 10, so that the carbon ribbon 3 is further limited, and the carbon ribbon 3 continuously moves and is output to the printing area 13.
It can be seen that, in this embodiment, the thermal transfer ribbon 3 before being input into the printing area 13 is further limited by the second limiting mechanism, that is, the space where the thermal transfer ribbon 3 moves from top to bottom is further reduced, the offset of the position of the thermal transfer ribbon 3 is prevented, and the thermal transfer ribbon 3 is ensured to be output according to the preset track, because the printing film 2 is limited by the first limiting mechanism, the thermal transfer ribbon 3 and the printing film 2 are both output to the printing area 13 according to the preset track, so that the positions of the thermal transfer ribbon 3 and the printing film 2 are just the preset positions for printing when the printing area 13 is overlapped, and further, the printing content is ensured to meet the printing requirement. In addition, the distance between the second upper limiting member 9 and the second lower limiting member 10 is reduced so as to further limit the thermal transfer ribbon 3, so that the position of the thermal transfer ribbon 3 input to the printing area 13 is more accurate, and the position deviation of the thermal transfer ribbon 3 is effectively avoided.
In summary, in the embodiment, the first separating mechanism 5 and the second separating mechanism 6 are arranged in the conveying channel 4, so that the printing film 2 and the carbon ribbon 3 are separated in the conveying channel 4, the printing film 2 and the carbon ribbon 3 are prevented from being adhered together in the conveying channel 4, the printing film 2 and the carbon ribbon 3 are ensured to be better overlapped in the printing area 13, and the printing content can be printed at the preset position.
