In the prior art, when the conveyor belt materials are different, the friction is also different, resulting in deviations in the readings of the printing material and the encoder. The conveyor belt is easy to be stained with dust in the production process, so that slipping phenomenon occurs between the synchronous wheel of the encoder and the conveyor belt, and positioning errors are caused. Third, encoder synchronous wheel machining accuracy is limited, resulting in positioning errors. In addition, there is a problem in that accuracy is poor when positioning the head position. The embodiment of the invention provides the following scheme:
As shown in fig. 1 to 3, an embodiment of the present invention provides a single pass printer including a conveying mechanism 1 and a printing head mechanism 2, the conveying mechanism 1 being provided with a conveyor belt 11 and a first grating head 12, one side of the conveyor belt 11 being provided with a first grating strip 13 corresponding to the first grating head 12. The printing head mechanism 2 is provided with a head 21, a traversing belt 22 and a second raster reading head 23, which are liftable, and the head 21 is connected to the traversing belt 22. A distance measuring sensor 24 is arranged on one side of the nozzle 21, and a second grating strip 25 corresponding to the second grating reading head 23 is arranged on one side of the transverse moving belt 22.
In the case of a print job, the printing material is moved along with the movement of the conveyor belt 11, and the printing material may be a printing paper head. In the moving process, the moving position of the first grating strip 13 is continuously read through the first grating reading head 12, and the first grating strip 13 and the first grating reading head 12 are in non-contact, so that errors caused by machining can be eliminated, the specific position of printing consumables can be obtained more accurately, and a more accurate positioning signal is generated for nozzle printing. In the printing process, the spray head 21 moves along with the movement of the transverse moving belt 22, and in the moving process, the moving position of the second grating strip 13 is continuously read through the second grating reading head 12, so that the position of the spray head 21 can be accurately positioned, and meanwhile, the distance between the spray head 21 and printing consumables can be detected by the ranging sensor 24, so that the spray head 21 is adjusted to the position most suitable for printing, and the printing quality is further improved.

The lifting device 3 is connected to the bottom of the traverse base 27, and the lifting end of the lifting device 3 is connected to the nozzle 21.
In the printing process, when the traverse motion seat 27 moves along with the movement of the traverse motion belt 22, the traverse motion seat 27 performs guiding movement through the first guiding shaft 28 and the second guiding shaft 29, so that the accuracy of the traverse motion seat 27 is increased, the moving accuracy of the nozzle 21 is increased, and the printing quality is further improved.
In some embodiments, the support frame 26 includes a lateral support 261 and a lateral support 262, the lateral support 261 is vertically disposed, the lateral support 261 is respectively connected to two ends of the lateral support 262, and the bottom of the lateral support 261 is connected to the roller connection plate 15, so that the structural complexity of the whole printer is simplified, and the manufacturing cost is reduced.
