Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of label printers, and in particular to a label printer. Background Art

[0002] Printers are now widely used in everyday life, including supermarkets, shopping malls, and homes. Printers are also becoming increasingly miniaturized, such as the price stampers used in supermarkets to print price tags and label printers used in homes to print personalized labels such as dates and logos. Existing thermal printers use a semiconductor heating element, such as a ceramic plate, installed on the print head. This heats the ceramic plate and brings it into contact with thermal printing paper to print the desired pattern. During the printing process, the paper is positioned between the ceramic plate and the rubber roller, which drives the paper. The printing surface of the paper can be considered a smooth plane. The contact surface between the paper and the rubber roller and the contact surface between the ceramic plate and the paper need to be parallel to each other in order to print a clear pattern on the paper.

[0003] When used to print die-cut labels, the right-angle edge at the top of the print head ceramic plate will cause the die-cut label to be scraped off when it is unrolled, causing the die-cut label to be peeled off from the base paper. The peeled die-cut surface paper will be squeezed and stacked between the rubber roller and the print head ceramic plate, eventually causing the rubber roller to jam, making it impossible to effectively unroll the paper and print effectively. This is the main reason why label printers on the market do not have a paper rewind function, resulting in waste of the exposed portion of the label paper.

[0004] In addition, the position optical coupler in the existing label printer is set on the paper inlet side of the print head. If the paper is retracted to the front side of the rubber roller, it cannot be ejected again, resulting in a poor user experience.

[0005] Furthermore, label rolls on the market typically have a core that passes through the roll, with retaining plates on either side to form a complete roll before being loaded into the machine. However, due to the identical structure on both sides of the roll, loading errors are common. For example, the roll can be inserted in such a way that the bottom surface of the roll comes into contact with the heat of the print head, resulting in printing problems. Alternatively, the roll can be loaded upside down, also causing printing problems. Furthermore, due to the lack of a retaining mechanism, the label paper can tilt after loading, resulting in inaccurate printing and poor quality.

[0006] Furthermore, to meet diverse needs, the same label printer often accommodates multiple sizes of label paper. Therefore, printing requires users to quickly identify the current label paper's specifications and model, which increases operational complexity and leads to a poor user experience. Repeated printing actions require repeated operation of the control terminal, making direct printing control impossible locally and cumbersome.

[0007] As can be seen, the existing label printers mentioned above still have inconveniences and defects in their structure, methods, and use, and are in urgent need of further improvement.

[0037] Refer to the attached Figure 1 and 2 As shown, the label printer of this embodiment includes a housing 1 and a cover 2 rotatably connected to the housing 1. The housing 1 includes a label roll mounting mechanism, an electric power mechanism, and a print head assembly 3. A rubber roller 21 is provided on the cover 2. When the cover 2 is snapped onto the housing 1, the rubber roller 21 is connected to the electric power mechanism and is arranged opposite to the print head ceramic plate 31 of the print head assembly 3. The label paper passes between the rubber roller 21 and the print head ceramic plate 31. The rubber roller 21 is rotated forward and reversed under the action of the electric power mechanism to complete the paper output and paper withdrawal of the label paper.

[0038] In this embodiment, the housing 1 is composed of an upper and lower housing that snap together to form a cavity for accommodating a label roll 10, the printhead assembly 3, the electric drive mechanism, the control board 14, the battery 15, and other components. The top surface of the upper housing has a through hole for inserting the label roll 10 and for snapping the cover 2. The cover 2 is connected to one side of the upper housing via a pin. The battery 15 is secured by the curved rib structure of the upper and lower housings and provides power to the printer.

[0039] Refer to the attached Figure 3 As shown, the printhead assembly 3 and electric drive mechanism of this embodiment can utilize existing, mature products. They include a printhead ceramic plate 31, a printhead base plate 32, a leaf spring 33, a printhead bracket 34, a motor 35, and a gear transmission mechanism 36. One side of the printhead base plate 32 is connected to the printhead ceramic plate 31, and the other side is connected to the leaf spring 33, which is mounted on the sidewall of the printhead bracket 34. The leaf spring 33 provides thrust for the printhead ceramic plate 31, ensuring that the printhead ceramic plate adheres tightly to the label paper and remains parallel to the rubber roller 21. The motor 35 drives the gear transmission mechanism 36 to achieve power transmission. In this embodiment, a gear 22 is provided at one end of the rubber roller 21 on the cover 2. When the cover is engaged, the gear 22 meshes with the gear transmission mechanism 36, allowing the motor 35 to drive both forward and reverse rotation of the rubber roller 21. At the same time, after closing the cover 2, the rubber roller 21 is pressed by the springs at both ends of the print head assembly, and the leaf spring 33 behind the print head substrate 32 is also compressed, so that the rubber roller 21 and the print head ceramic plate 31 are tightly fitted together, ensuring that the contact surface between the label paper and the rubber roller 21 and the contact surface between the print head ceramic plate 31 and the label paper are in a parallel state, ensuring that a clear pattern is printed on the label paper.

[0040] In addition, a travel switch 37 is provided on the bracket of the print head assembly 3 , and the travel switch 37 cooperates with the rubber roller on the cover body 2 to detect whether the cover body 2 is opened or closed.

[0041] In a preferred embodiment, the print head assembly 3 includes an anti-stuck member 38 provided on the paper outlet side of the print head ceramic plate 31, as shown in the attached Figure 4 The edge of the anti-stuck member 38 adjacent to the top of the print head ceramic plate 31 is configured as a rounded structure, and the rounded structure protrudes from the top of the print head ceramic plate 31 on the label paper feeding path.

[0042] Preferably, the distance that the chamfered structure protrudes from the top of the print head ceramic plate on the label paper feeding channel is 0.1-1.0mm, more preferably 0.1-0.3mm. In this way, when the label paper is retracted, since the anti-stuck component protrudes from the top of the print head ceramic plate, the die-cut label paper can avoid the right-angled edge of the top of the print head ceramic plate and retract smoothly, thereby preventing the die-cut label on the label paper from being scraped off by the right-angled top of the print head ceramic plate 31 during retraction, causing the die-cut label to peel off from the base paper, resulting in the label paper being squeezed and piled up, and unable to print normally. Moreover, the setting of the chamfered structure of the anti-stuck component allows the die-cut label paper to be ejected smoothly when feeding, and the die-cut label will not be peeled off. The setting of the anti-stuck component 38 greatly improves the success rate of paper retraction of the label printer, completely solves the problem that the existing label printer cannot retract paper, and allows the unprinted labels exposed outside the machine to be smoothly returned to the inside of the machine, reducing label waste.

[0043] Specifically, the anti-stuck component 38 includes a fixed plate 381 with the same length as the print head substrate 32 and an extension plate 382 perpendicular to the fixed plate 381. The extension plate 382 extends to the upper end of the print head ceramic plate 31, and the edge of the extension plate is set to the chamfered structure.

[0044] A plurality of vertical reinforcing ribs 383 are provided between the fixing plate 381 and the extension plate 382 to ensure the stability of the anti-jamming member. Fixing legs 384 are provided at both ends of the extension plate 382 and the fixing plate 381. The fixing legs 384 are inserted into the print head assembly to secure the anti-jamming member.

[0045] Refer to the attached Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, the cover 2 is provided with a photoelectric transmitter 23, and the housing 1 is provided with a photoelectric receiver 13 that cooperates with the photoelectric transmitter 23. The photoelectric transmitter 23 and the photoelectric receiver 13 constitute a label paper detection mechanism, which is respectively located on either side of the label paper discharge channel at the rear end of the rubber roller 21 to detect the presence of label paper and the gap between die-cut labels. Because the label paper detection mechanism is located at the rear end of the rubber roller, it can quickly and preemptively identify paper feed material shortages, preventing the problem of excessive paper feed being blocked by the rubber roller and unable to be discharged.

[0046] In order to achieve miniaturization of the label printer, in this embodiment, the fixing plate 381 of the anti-stuck component 38 is provided with an escape opening 385 for allowing the photoelectric emitting component 23 and the photoelectric receiving component 13 to pass through.

[0047] In this embodiment, the label printer further includes a core shaft assembly for mounting the label roll 10 , wherein the core shaft assembly includes a core shaft 4 , a first baffle 5 and a second baffle 6 .

[0048] In this embodiment, the second baffle 6 can be installed on one side of the label roll 10. Specifically, the second baffle 6 can be secured to the core of the label roll 10 through an interference fit and sold separately as a single label roll. To facilitate identification of the label roll 10, an RFID tag 7 is affixed to the outside of the second baffle 6 in this embodiment. The RFID tag 7 contains information such as the label material's specifications, length, gap width, and heating time, facilitating rapid identification of the label material using an RFID reader.

[0049] In order to ensure accurate installation of the label roll, the core shaft assembly is provided with a foolproof design. The foolproof design is a preventive and corrective behavioral restraint method that uses a restrictive method to avoid errors, allowing the operator to directly and accurately complete the correct operation without expending attention, experience, or professional knowledge. Specifically, the first end 41 and the second end 42 of the core shaft 4 described in this embodiment adopt an asymmetric foolproof structure. For example, the width of the first end 41 is larger than the width of the second end 42, and the first end 41 is configured to be larger at the top and smaller at the bottom, which facilitates the identification of the left and right and up and down directions of the label roll consumables.

[0050] Correspondingly, the label roll mounting mechanism inside the housing 1 in this embodiment includes a first fixing groove 11 and a second fixing groove 12 that respectively engage with the first end 41 and the second end 42. Figure 5 As shown, the width of the first fixing slot 11 is larger than the width of the second fixing slot 12, so as to solve the problem that the label roll 10 is placed upside down.

[0051] The foolproof design is also as follows: Figure 6 and 7 As shown, the core shaft 4 includes a first foolproof structure 43 near the first end 41 and a second foolproof structure 44 near the second end 42. The central through-hole structure of the first baffle 5 matches the first foolproof structure 43, and the middle through-hole structure of the second baffle 6 matches the second foolproof structure 44. In this embodiment, the specific structural arrangement of the first and second foolproof structures can be composed of axial ribs of different widths or different gaps, as long as the baffle and the core shaft are matched at a single angle, achieving the goal of precise installation of the baffle.

[0052] To secure the baffle 5 to the core shaft, the first baffle 5 is positioned on the core shaft 4 via an interference fit. This allows the first baffle 5 to be positioned at any position on the core shaft 4, depending on the width of the label roll 10. This allows for positioning of label rolls of varying widths, expanding the applicability of label paper. To prevent the first baffle 5 from slipping off the core shaft 4, the core shaft assembly further includes a retaining member 8, such as a screw, that engages with the first end of the core shaft.

[0053] A partition plate 45 is provided between the first foolproof structure 43 and the second foolproof structure 44. The second foolproof structure 44 is provided with a buckle 46 for engaging with the second baffle 6. When the second baffle 6 is installed in the second foolproof structure 44, the partition plate 45 and the buckle 46 secure the second baffle 6 to the core shaft 4, thereby securing the baffle.

[0054] In order to ensure that the label paper is pulled into the paper feed path without being skewed when the label roll is applied to the inside of the printer housing, the first baffle 5 also includes a limiting extension portion 51 extending in the plane, and the limiting extension portion 51 extends to the lower part of the rubber roller 21 when the cover body 2 is in the buckled state.

[0055] Of course, in this embodiment, the second blocking piece 6 may also include a limiting extension portion similar to the limiting extension portion 51 to further ensure that the label paper is not skewed when feeding.

[0056] In addition, in this embodiment, an RFID tag reader is also provided inside the shell 1. The RFID tag reader is arranged on the inner side of the shell 1 corresponding to the RFID tag affixed to the label roll, and is used to quickly identify the authenticity and related information of the label roll consumables, so that the printer can quickly match the corresponding editing and printing interface, automatically calculate and intelligently match the heating information and paper feed amount to ensure that the printing position is accurate and the content is clear, and the printing effect preview is realized to improve the printing effect and printing quality.

[0057] The label printer of this embodiment further includes a control board 14 connected to the electric power mechanism and print head assembly, and control keys disposed on the housing 1 and connected to the control board 14. The control keys include a start button 17 and a toggle lever 18. The start button 17 is used to issue a power-on instruction to the control board 14 by a long press, and to issue a paper feed instruction to the control board 14 by a short press. The toggle lever 18 is used to issue a paper eject instruction to the control board 14 by toggling. Of course, the control keys can change the type of instruction issued according to actual needs.

[0058] To use the label printer of this embodiment, after installing the label roll 10 according to the foolproofing settings, close the cover 2 and long-press the start button 17 to turn it on. When printing begins, if a label is exposed, pushing the push rod 18 once will cause the machine to retract one label. If multiple labels are exposed, each push of the push rod 18 retracts one label, thus eliminating wasted labels. If no labels are exposed, briefly pressing the start button 17 will restart printing from the first label in the consumables. To repeat a label after printing, simply click the start button 17 once to repeat the previous print, greatly facilitating repeated printing of dates and prices in supermarkets and other locations.
