Abstract
The present invention relates to heat blowing equipment for a thermal print head of a color video printer, in which a radiating plate is mounted on the upper surface of the thermal print head and a ventilation fan is directly connected to the upper portion of the radiating plate, thereby being moved together with the head during the up and down operation of the head. Accordingly, a proper temperature is continuously maintained regardless of any position change of the head. The ventilation fan is mounted on a fan guide, which is coupled to the radiating plate by a plurality of levers, so that the structure always effectively cools the thermal print head regardless of any position change of the head.
Claims6
Heat blowing equipment for a thermal print head, comprising:
- radiating means attached to an upper surface of said thermal print head for scattering heat from said thermal print head;
- ventilation means for emitting heat from said radiating means;
- and
- means for mounting said ventilation means to said radiating means so as to place said ventilation means to a first position relative to said radiating means when said thermal print head moves upwards and to a second position different from said first position relative to said radiating means when said thermal print head moves downwards.
Heat blowing equipment for a thermal print head, comprising:
- radiating means attached to an upper surface of said thermal print head for scattering heat from said thermal print head;
- and
- ventilation means operatively associated with an up and down movement of said thermal print head for emitting heat from said radiating means,
- said ventilation means being rotatably mounted on said radiating means and including a fan for ventilation, a fan guide for mounting said fan, and a plurality of levers rotatably mounted on said fan guide and said radiating means.
