Description of the invention [Technical field to which the invention belongs] The present invention relates to a printer device 'especially a closely-made printer device', which is implemented by using a heat-releasing type thermal conductive ribbon and a linear thermal head Printing of text and marks on printed matter. [Prior art] In recent years, if information about packaged items that are not displayed on the packaging material is used, printed items (hereinafter referred to as printed items) are often printed differently, such as the manufacturing date, tastable period, manufacturing Examples of characters and marks such as lot numbers. In this case, this printing is usually done by using a heat release type thermal conductive ribbon and a linear thermal head. When this printing is performed in the manufacturing process of the packaged article, that is, for example, in the process of packaging this article, the printer device used needs to be made smaller in size to be easily and unhindered to be assembled in the packaged article manufacturing equipment. Space for mechanical configuration. In addition, the printer device needs to have a simplified architecture, because the printer device, as a device that does not directly become a part of the manufacturing of the packaged item itself, strongly desires to be manufactured at a lower cost. The linear thermal head printer device includes: a linear thermal head, a roll supporting a heat-releasing heat-conducting ribbon, and a ribbon-expanding drive shaft that unrolls the fed ribbon, and the ribbon that has been unrolled is wound and used. The ribbon is wound around the drive shaft for printing, the stepping motor that drives these drive shafts rotatably, and the guide roller that guides the ribbon so that the ribbon is wound again after unwinding. The placement of these components and assemblies has a major impact on the size of the printer unit. -4- (2) 1244986 Fig. 5 is a plan view showing an example of the structure of a conventional thermal head printer device. In FIG. 5, number 41 indicates a ribbon unwinding drive shaft, and number 42 · indicates a ribbon winding drive shaft. Number 4 4 indicates the feed shaft, and number 4 5 is the pinch roller. Therefore, a clip system for feeding the ink ribbon 43 is formed between the feeding shaft 44 and the pinch roller 45. Number 47 indicates the linear thermal head, and number 48 is the platen roller. All these parts and components are arranged and assembled to the frame plate 5 2. The ribbon unwinding reel system of the ribbon main roll 46 is coaxially assembled to the ribbon exhibition opening drive shaft 4 1, so that the ribbon main roll 4 6 borrows. It is supported by the ribbon unwinding drive shaft 4 1, and the ribbon 4 3 is unrolled from the ribbon main roller 46. The ribbon 43 unwound from the ribbon main roller 46 is fed through the feed shaft 44 and the pinch roller 45, and the ribbon winding reel which is finally wound around the colored ribbon winding drive shaft 42 is coaxially assembled to and made of The ribbon take-up drive shaft 42 is supported. The ribbon 43 that is fed from the ribbon main roller 46 during operation is covered on the printed sheet 49 sandwiched between the linear thermal head 47 and the platen roller 48, so that printing is completed on the printed sheet 49. Numbers 5 0 and 5 1 indicate the running guide rollers that guide the ribbon 4 3. In this way, in the conventional thermal head printer device, when viewing the plan view of FIG. 5, the thermal head 47 and the platen roller 48 are arranged at the center of the lower part of the printer device, and the color The belt unwinding driving shaft 41, the ribbon winding driving shaft 42, the feeding shaft 44, the pinch roller 45, and the like are arranged at the upper positions. Also, a motor system for rotationally driving the feed shaft 44 is configured to be fitted to the frame plate 52 on the opposite side of FIG. 5 to be directly connected to the feed shaft 44. Therefore, in the conventional thermal head printer device, the ribbon unwinding drive shaft-5- 1244986 (3) 4 1. Ribbon winding drive shaft 4 2, feed shaft 4 4, pinch roller 4 5 and other systems Arranged to be placed on a flat plane 'and a relatively large flat space is needed. Moreover, the drive motor is arranged on the opposite side of these parts and components, and a relatively large thickness or the height of the device is required for this arrangement.
