Abstract

PURPOSE:To reduce the number of assembling processes or parts and to achieve the cost reduction and miniaturization of a product, by molding an actuator operating guide, a fulcrum press spring for supporting an operation fulcrum and a rebound preventing damper part from a non-metal so as to integrate all of them with a sound-proof cover. CONSTITUTION:The operation plate guide part 11 of an actuator 5, a fulcrum press spring part 10 supporting an operation fulcrum and a rebound preventing damper part 12 are manufactured from a non-metal, for example, a resin such as polycarbonate by molding so as to be integrated with a sound-proof cover 6 for preventing noise generated at the time of printing. Because of this, the number of assembling processes can be reduced to a large extent and problems such as operational inferiority due to non-insert of parts in assembling or the lowering in the operating efficiency of an automatic assembling machine can be eliminated. Further, cost reduction due to the reduction in the number of parts by integration and the simplification of an assembling property is achieved and, further, the assembling property becomes easy and a volume is reduced and, therefore, a low cost and small-sized impact dot head can be obtained.

Conventionally, as shown in FIG. 5, when the drive coil 52 inserted into the coil core 31 is energized, the actuator 3S is guided by the actuator guide S4 and supported by the fulcrum spring 35 so as not to interfere with the actuators on both sides. The print wire 36, which is attracted to the fulcrum and is engaged with one end of the actuator 33, is also driven in the direction of the arrow, colliding with a platen (not shown) and printing.

Thereafter, the print wire 36 prints by repeating this process. However, in the above-described printing state, there is an impact sound when the actuator 33 is attracted by the coil core 51, an impact sound when the actuator collides with the print wire 56, and a repulsive force from the platen (not shown) and a return spring. The spring force of 37 causes the pulley wire to return and collide with the actuator, producing an impact sound. Further, the actuator collides with the damper 58 due to the impact force of the print wire and the spring force of the return spring, and returns with an impact sound.

The present invention was made in view of these problems, and its purpose is to provide a soundproof cover, an actuation guide, and a fulcrum pressing spring. Providing each function of the damper and making it into a body reduces the number of parts and improves ease of assembly! It is possible to reduce the price by making it an i element, and by providing the above-mentioned integrated soundproof cover with an operating guide and a fulcrum pressing spring part, it is easy to assemble, and the volume is reduced, so it provides a small impact dot head at a low price. There is a particular thing.

According to the above-described structure of the present invention, a soundproof cover for preventing the noise originally generated during printing, an actuator operation guide, and a fulcrum pressing spring that supports the operation fulcrum are provided. Since the damper function that prevents rebound can be manufactured by body molding using non-gold jig (for example, resin such as polycarbonate), the number of assembly steps is greatly reduced, and there is no possibility of malfunction due to parts not being inserted during assembly or of automatic assembly machines. Problems such as a decrease in operating rate are eliminated, and the number of parts can be reduced by integrating the parts, making it possible to reduce the price and size of the product.
