TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of printing devices, in particular to a portable printer with an opening cover structure. BACKGROUND
[0002] Traditional printers generally use press switches or side sliding switches. The existing press switch structure is complex, the cost is high, the cover opening process cannot be comfortably controlled, and when the cover is closed, the assembly is prone to problems such as not smooth buckling. Among them, the side opening switch needs to hold the printer by hand when opening the cover, and the force does not conform to human mechanics, and the method is awkward, and the opening cover structure has high requirements for the space of the upper shell: too small space cannot be installed, and too large space increases the volume of the printer.
[0003] At present, when replacing consumables (label paper, etc.) of a portable thermal printer or thermal transfer printer, the cover needs to be opened to expose the inside of the printer, so that the consumables can be loaded and the cover can be closed for printing work. In daily use, the opening and closing action of the cover is repeated frequently, so the convenience and stability of locking the cover are very important. Usually, the printer releases the locking mechanism by pressing the opening cover button, so as to quickly open the cover, and the locking mechanism is used to limit and lock the upper cover when the cover is closed. The general opening cover method is to press the opening cover button, but the existing press unlocking method of the cover is relatively cumbersome and is not conducive to frequent use and efficient printing.

[0038] Embodiment
[0039] In combination Figures 1 to 8 The present embodiment provides a portable printer with an open cover structure, comprising: a core body 1 and a reversible open and close configuration on the upper cover 2 of the core body 1.
[0040] In the embodiment, the core body 1 is provided with a locking piece 3 for locking and fixing the upper cover 2, and an opening cover support 4 for driving the locking piece 3 to switch between the locking state and the opening cover state. The locking piece 3 is arranged on the core body 1 and can be automatically reset to the locking state, and is controlled by external force to switch to the opening cover state. The opening cover support 4 is hingedly arranged on the core body 1, and is rotated along the hinged direction by the user pressing to trigger the locking piece 3 to be in the opening cover state. The upper cover 2 is correspondingly provided with a first trigger part 21 for triggering the locking piece 3 to be in the opening cover state, and the first trigger part 21 is pressed to the locking piece 3 to make the locking piece 3 switch to the opening cover state, and after the upper cover 2 is closed to the core body 1, the locking piece 3 is reset to the locking state and relatively clamps the first trigger part 21 to limit the upper cover 2 on the core body 1. The opening cover support 4 is rotated under the action of external force to trigger the locking piece 3 to be in the opening cover state, so that the locking piece 3 moves in the positive direction to drive the first trigger part 21 on the locking piece to be lifted, and after the external force is removed, the locking piece 3 is automatically reset to move in the reverse direction, which correspondingly drives the first trigger part 21 to move in the opening cover direction.
[0041] In the embodiment, the user presses the opening cover support 4 to rotate it along the hinged direction to trigger the locking piece 3 to be in the opening cover state, and the locking piece 3 can be automatically reset to the locking state without external force, so as to facilitate the stable arrangement of the upper cover 2 on the core body 1. In the closing process, the first trigger part 21 of the upper cover 2 makes the locking piece 3 switch to the opening cover state, and after the upper cover 2 is closed to the core body 1, the locking piece 3 is reset to the locking state and relatively clamps the first trigger part 21 to limit the upper cover 2 on the core body 1, so as to realize the locking of the upper cover 2 on the core body 1 by directly pressing the upper cover 2, and the upper cover 2 can be simply and conveniently buckled with the core body 1. Also, the user can press the opening cover support 4 to rotate it along the hinged direction to trigger the locking piece 3 to be in the opening cover state, and then the upper cover 2 is closed to the core body 1, and the pressing of the opening cover support 4 is correspondingly released, so that the locking piece 3 is automatically reset to the locking state, thereby limiting the upper cover 2 on the core body 1. The application adopts various optional closing modes, which is beneficial to daily operation and use, and improves the printing efficiency.
[0042] When the cover is opened, the cover opening support 4 triggers the lock catch 3 to be in the cover opening state, and the lock catch 3 is moved in the forward direction to drive the first trigger part 21 placed on the lock catch 3 to be lifted, and after the external force is removed, the lock catch 3 is automatically reset to move in the reverse direction to correspondingly drive the first trigger part 21 to move in the cover opening direction. Specifically, when the lock catch 3 is switched from the locking state to the cover opening state and is moved in the forward direction, the first trigger part 21 is lifted to a preset height by the lock catch 3, and at this time, the external force pressing the cover opening support 4 is removed, so that the lock catch 3 is automatically reset to move in the reverse direction from the cover opening state to the locking state, and correspondingly switches its own state. At the same time, the lock catch 3 moving in the reverse direction drives the first trigger part 21 lifted to the preset height to continue lifting and moving, so that the first trigger part 21 moves in the cover opening direction, and correspondingly drives the upper cover 2 to be opened. During the pressing of the cover opening process, the lock catch 3 is unlocked at the same time, and provides a lifting force upward for the upper cover 2, which is beneficial to the cover opening operation of the user, and the lifting action is convenient for reminding the user that the cover opening has been completed. And after the user cancels the pressing force, the automatically reset lock catch 3 continues to drive the first trigger part 21 to move in the cover opening direction, so that the upper cover 2 is lifted to be automatically opened under the driving of the lock catch 3.
[0043] In one of the embodiments of the present application, the first trigger 21 comprises a printing rubber roller 211 arranged on the upper cover 2, which is arranged opposite to a printing head (not shown) in the core body 1. When the upper cover 2 is fixed to the core body 1, the printing rubber roller 211 is arranged opposite to the printing head to form a paper feeding channel, thereby allowing the label paper to enter to reproduce the printing content on the label paper. The locking member 3 has a catch (not shown) of a recess 31 accommodating the printing rubber roller 211, and the catch is provided with a first guide portion 32 having an inclination above the recess 31. The printing rubber roller 211 enters the recess 31 by pressing against the first guide portion 32, and when the printing rubber roller 211 is separated from the first guide portion 32, the locking member 3 returns to the locked state to restrict the printing rubber roller 211 in the recess 31. Correspondingly, the catch is provided with a second guide portion 33 on the other side of the recess 31 opposite to the first guide portion 32, and the first guide portion 32 and the second guide portion 33 are opposite to each other and substantially form a V-shaped opening. The second guide portion 33 having an inclination is arranged on the side of the recess 31 away from the printing rubber roller 211, and the first guide portion 32 and the second guide portion 33 are arranged on the left and right sides of the recess 31, respectively, and communicate the recess 31 with the external space. The printing rubber roller 211 presses the first guide portion 32 to trigger the locking member 3 to move in the opening state, and the printing rubber roller 211 accommodated in the recess 31 is lifted up by the second guide portion 33 to separate from the recess 31 when the opening bracket 4 triggers the locking member 3 to move in the opening state. It should be noted that the first guide portion 32 and the second guide portion 33 substantially constitute a V-shaped entrance, so that the printing rubber roller 211 can enter the recess 31 through the entrance, and when the locking member 3 is in the locked state, pressing the upper cover 2 makes the printing rubber roller 211 abut at least part of the first guide portion 32, thereby guiding the relative movement of the locking member 3 to the opening state, to ensure that the printing rubber roller 211 enters the recess 31 through the entrance, and when the locking member 3 is reset to the locked state, the side of the recess 31 and the first guide portion 32 above restrict the printing rubber roller 211 therein.
[0044] In particular, the base (not shown) of the core body 1 is provided with a clamping groove 11 corresponding to the end of the printing rubber roller 211, and the locking member 3 is arranged in close contact with the base, and the end of the printing rubber roller 211 is accommodated in the clamping groove 11 after being closed, and at this time, the catch at least partially laterally closes the clamping groove 11, so that the printing rubber roller 211 is accommodated in the clamping groove 11. The locking member 3 is arranged in lateral contact with the clamping groove 11, and when the locking member 3 moves in the switching state, it corresponds to the clamping space formed by cooperating with the clamping groove 11 to restrict the printing rubber roller 211, or mutually avoids to expose the opening of the clamping groove 11, and allows the second guide portion 33 to support the printing rubber roller 211 to lift up in the opening direction through the opening.
[0045] In particular, please refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 When the locking member 3 is in the locking state, the first guide portion 32 of the locking member is at least partially transversely arranged at the opening position of the clamping groove 11, so as to cooperate with the clamping groove 11 to limit the end portion of the printing rubber roller 211 in the clamping space formed by the two, facilitate the relative clamping fixation of the end portion of the printing rubber roller 211, and allow the body of the rubber roller to rotate in the printing process to cooperate with the working of the printing head. When the cover needs to be unlocked, the cover support 4 is pressed externally to trigger the locking member 3 to move along the cover opening state, at this time the first guide portion 32 of the locking member 3 is away from the clamping groove 11 to avoid each other, and the second guide portion 33 moves towards the clamping groove 11. When the locking member 3 is in the cover opening state, the second guide portion 33 overlaps with the groove wall of one of the clamping grooves 11 and continues to move forward at least along the switching direction, so that the locking member 3 is abutted by the inclination direction of the second guide portion 33 to drive the printing rubber roller 211 to move upward, thereby ensuring that the printing rubber roller 211 accommodated in the groove 31 is lifted upward by the second guide portion 33 to disengage from the groove 31 when the cover support 4 triggers the locking member 3 to move forward along the cover opening state. In particular, the inclination of the second guide portion 33 is smaller than the inclination of the groove wall of the clamping groove 11, and the second guide portion 33 corresponds to abut and support the printing rubber roller 211 to lift it to a preset height when the locking member 3 is in the cover opening state, wherein the preset height is at least higher than the lowest point height of the inclination angle of the first guide portion 32. Moreover, when the locking member 3 is automatically reset to the locking state, the printing rubber roller 211 lifted to the preset height is brought out of the clamping groove 11 along the reverse direction by the first guide portion 32. So that when the user cancels the pressing of the cover support 4, the printing rubber roller 211 at the preset height is lifted continuously by the automatic reset of the locking member 3 along the reverse direction by the first guide portion 32 to drive the printing rubber roller 211 at the preset height to continue to lift along the inclination angle, realizing the automatic opening of the cover 2.
[0046] Preferably, two locking members 3 are included in the embodiment, and the two locking members 3 are respectively arranged on the two sides of the core body 1, corresponding to accommodate the two end portions of the clamping printing rubber roller 211. The locking member 3 is arranged on the two sides of the core body 1, and the cover 2 is fixedly connected with the two locking members 3 through the two end portions of the printing rubber roller 211, so that the two sides are balanced, having the characteristics of stability and balance.
[0047] Please refer to Figures 4 to 8 The cover support 4 includes a rod body 41 and a driving portion 42 and a second trigger portion 43 arranged on the rod body 41. The rod body 41 is arranged substantially perpendicular to the locking member 3, and is abutted with the locking member 3 through the second trigger portion 43, so as to rotate the rod body 41 along the direction towards the locking member 3 by pressing the driving portion 42 by the user, thereby triggering the locking member 3 to be in the cover opening state.
[0048] Further, the driving part 42 is arranged at one end of the rod body 41, and the core body 1 is correspondingly provided with a key hole (not shown), and a key 5 capable of automatic reset is arranged in the key hole, and the key 5 is in contact with the driving part 42. By pressing the key 5, the key 5 is in contact with the driving part 42, thereby driving the driving part 42 to rotate along the hinge direction of the rod body 41, so that the second trigger part 43 arranged on the rod body 41 rotates to trigger the lock part 3 to be in the open cover state. When the user releases the pressing of the key 5, the lock part 3 is automatically reset to the locked state when it is not subjected to external force, and at this time, the lock part 3 reversely drives the second trigger part 43 to rotate back to the initial position.
[0049] The driving part 42 is in the shape of a crescent, the arc surface thereof faces upward and is in contact with the key 5, the parallel surface thereof is in contact with a circular arc protrusion 6 arranged in the key hole, and the arc surface at the upper side is subjected to the pressing force to drive the driving part 42 to rotate around the rod body 41 and move along the outer contour of the protrusion. By limiting the driving part 42 between the key 5 and the circular arc protrusion 6, the rotatable threshold when the key 5 is pressed to drive the driving part 42 to rotate is constant, thereby avoiding the situation that the key 5 is pressed too deeply or is difficult to press.
[0050] Preferably, the second trigger part 43 is in the shape of a lever and is arranged vertically on the rod body 41. The lock part 3 is provided with a bent plate 34 extending toward the rotating end surface of the second trigger part 43, and the bent plate 34 is always in contact with the second trigger part 43. The second trigger part 43 is always in contact with the bent plate 34, and when the open cover support 4 is not subjected to the pressing force of the user, the lock part 3 is reset to the locked state to provide the elastic force in contact with the open cover support 4. When the open cover support 4 is subjected to the pressing of the user, the lock part 3 always has the tendency to return to the locked state, thereby ensuring that the second trigger part 43 of the open cover support 4 is always in contact with the bent plate 34 of the lock part 3.
[0051] Please refer to Figures 5 to 7 When the lock part 3 is reset to the locked state, the open cover support 4 returns to the initial position through the second trigger part 43 under the contact of the lock part 3. The lock part 3 is arranged on the core body 1 to slide along the first direction X to switch the state thereof. The rod body 41 is arranged along the second direction Y, and the lock part 3 is provided with a reset spring 7 arranged along the first direction X and always in the stretched state to drive the lock part 3 to contact the rod body 41. It should be noted that the sliding cooperation between the lock part 3 and the core body 1 can be achieved by arranging the sliding block in the sliding groove between the base of the lock part 3 and the core body 1, thereby ensuring the switching of the lock part 3 between the two states. Moreover, the reset spring 7 is always in the stretched state to drive the lock part 3 to move along the first direction and close to the open cover support 4.
[0052] In the embodiment, the upper cover 2 is hingedly arranged on the core body 1, and a resilient member 8 is arranged corresponding to the hinge position. The resilient member 8 provides a resilient force for the rotation of the upper cover 2 in the opening direction when the upper cover 2 is opened, so that the upper cover 2 can drive the printing rubber roller 211 to lift to a preset height. The resilient member 8 provides a resilient force for the rotation of the upper cover 2 in the opening direction when the upper cover 2 is opened, so that when the opening support 4 is pressed, the resilient force is increased to directly lift the printing rubber roller 211 to the preset height position, thereby avoiding the problem of large manufacturing precision required due to the printing rubber roller 211 being lifted to the preset height position only by the abutting of the second guide portion 33. Specifically, the resilient member 8 is a resilient piece arranged on any one of the inner end surfaces of the upper cover 2 or the core body 1 in a convex shape. When the two inner end surfaces are closed, the resilient piece is correspondingly energized, so that when the locking member 3 is in the opening state, the resilient piece in the energized state releases the ability to return to the initial state, and at the same time provides a resilient force in the opening direction for the opening of the upper cover 2.
[0053] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present application, and the protection scope of the present application is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiments. Any technical solution falling within the concept of the present application belongs to the protection scope of the present application.
