Abstract

PURPOSE:To reduce the number of component parts, enhance reliability and contrive control of the component parts and a reduction in manhour, by providing a main body and a connector means molded integrally with the main body, thereby molding the connector means integrally with a carrier frame produced by molding. CONSTITUTION:A carrier frame 11 is produced by molding, and comprises an integrally molded connector part 12 at a part thereof. The connector part 12 comprises a first connector 12a and a second connector 12b, and corresponding contacts are internally connected to each other. A dot head 13 comprises a head-energizing cable 14 at an end part thereof, a package 16 incorporates a power source for driving the head 13, a driving circuit necessary for printing or the like, and a carrier cable 15 for outputting signals from these components is extended from an end of the package 16.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a connector-integrated carrier frame, and more particularly to a connector-integrated carrier frame on which a printing mechanism is mounted and connected by cable in a printing device.

[Conventional technology]

Conventionally, as a means of supplying electricity to the printing mechanism in the carrier frame of this type of printing device, the cable directly connected to the printing mechanism was connected to the power supply side package, or the connector was screwed to the carrier frame on which the printing mechanism was mounted. etc., and the cable coming out of the printing mechanism section and the cable coming out of the power supply side package were connected to this connector.

[Problem that the invention seeks to solve]

According to the above-mentioned conventional cable connection means in a carrier frame, a space for attaching the connector to the carrier frame and special parts and screws for fixing are required, which increases the number of parts and therefore reduces the number of parts management and assembly steps. The disadvantage is that it increases.

Another disadvantage is that, due to the large number of parts, quality control for each part must be strengthened in order to improve reliability.

[Means for solving problems]

The connector-integrated carrier frame of the present invention has 1 printing!
A main body on which the printing mechanism is mounted, a first connector provided in a part of the main body and connected to the electrical connection means of the printing mechanism, and an electric drive board that includes at least a power source and drives the printing mechanism. The second connector is connected to the main body and the second connector is integrally molded with the main body.

〔Example〕

Next, the present invention will be explained with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a perspective view of an embodiment of the present invention. In this embodiment, the carrier frame 11. Connector part 12° dot head 13. It has a dot head energizing cable 14, a carrier cable 15, and a package 16.

The carrier frame 11 is manufactured by molding,
It has a connector part 12 which is also integrally molded in a part thereof. In this embodiment, it is assumed that the connector section 12 is composed of a first connector 12a and a second connector 12b, and corresponding contacts are internally connected. The dot head 13 is a part of a printing mechanism, and has a head power supply cable 14 at one end thereof. The package 16 also incorporates a power supply for driving the driver I/head 13 and a drive circuit necessary for printing, and a carrier cable 15 is extended from one end of the package for outputting those signals. ing.

In this embodiment configured as described above, the dot head 13 is mounted on the carrier frame 11, and at the same time, the head power supply cable 14 is connected to the first connector 12a.

Further, by connecting the carrier cable 15 to the second connector 12b, the output signal from the package 16 is supplied to the dot head 13 via the connector portion 12. Signals from the package 16 can be supplied to the dot head 13 by the connector portion 12 integrally molded on the carrier frame 11 in this manner.

In this embodiment, the connector portion 12 has 12a, 1
2b and two connectors are shown as an example, but three or more connectors may be made as necessary.Furthermore, the head energizing cable 14 may be shaped like a circuit board. .

〔Effect of the invention〕

As explained above, the present invention can reduce the number of parts by integrally molding the connector means on the carrier frame manufactured by molding, thereby improving reliability, reducing parts management man-hours, and reducing assembly man-hours. There is an effect that can be done.
