Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of mounting brackets, and particularly to a wall-mounted mounting bracket for a thermal printer. Background Art

[0002] A thermal printer is a device that prints based on thermal paper. Its working principle is that a semiconductor heating element is installed on the print head. After the print head heats up and contacts the thermal printing paper, the required pattern can be printed, and its principle is similar to that of a thermal fax machine.

[0003] Existing mounting brackets have many drawbacks. Most of them adopt a fixed clamping method. It is difficult for the clamping block to accurately dock with the slot on the back of the thermal printer. It is easy to loosen during movement and cannot be clamped at multiple angles, resulting in poor stability after installation. The installation method is single, and it can only be fixedly installed. It cannot be installed closer to or farther from the wall according to actual needs and the environment, and cannot balance space occupation, heat dissipation, and buffering of external collisions. The installation and disassembly are inconvenient, the steps are cumbersome, and it is too fixed after installation, making it difficult to operate when repairing or adjusting the position, which affects the use stability. Moreover, the structure is fixed and non-adjustable, and different installation states cannot be achieved through structural transformation, making it difficult to meet diverse installation requirements.

[0004] Based on this, a wall-mounted mounting bracket for a thermal printer is proposed. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a wall-mounted mounting bracket for a thermal printer in order to solve the above problems.

[0006] In order to achieve the above purpose, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions:

[0007] A wall-mounted mounting bracket for a thermal printer includes a frame body. Slide rails are connected to the upper and lower ends of the frame body. Sliders are slidably connected to the slide rails. The sliders are connected to a sliding frame through a traction bar. A translation block is slidably connected to one side of the frame body. A connecting plate is connected to one side of the translation block. A first clamping block is connected to the connecting plate. A connecting hole is formed in the connecting plate. The connecting plate is connected to one side of the slider through a bolt.

[0008] A second clamping block and a lifting column are connected to the sliding frame. A plugging rod is connected to the lower end of the lifting column. The lifting column is connected to the slide rail. A switching mechanism for switching the connection position of the sliding column is connected to the slide rail.

[0009] Preferably, limiting edges are symmetrically connected to the frame body, and the limiting edges are arranged on one side of the translation block.

[0010] Preferably, a traction bar is connected between the sliding frame and the slider. Connecting shafts are connected to the outer sides of the sliding frame and the slider.

[0016] In summary, due to the adoption of the above technical solutions, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:

[0017] 1.

The installation and disassembly are more convenient than the traditional simple wall-mounted structure, and the structural stability during the use of the printer is improved.

[0018] 2. By adopting the rotating rail structure in this application, the thermal printer can choose an installation method close to the wall or far from the wall.

[0027] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts belong to the protection scope of the present invention.

[0028] Please refer to Figures 1-6 , the present invention provides a technical solution:

[0029] A wall-mounted mounting bracket for a thermal printer, including a frame body 1. The upper and lower ends of the frame body 1 are connected with slide rail edges 3. A slide block 16 is slidably connected to the slide rail edges 3. There are two slide blocks 16. By setting the slide block 16, the horizontal movement of the connecting plate 5 is made more stable. The slide block 16 is connected with a sliding frame 8 through a traction bar 10. When the sliding frame 8 moves, the connecting plate 5 can be driven to move through the traction bar 10. A translating block 20 is slidably connected to one side of the frame body 1. One side of the translating block 20 is connected with a connecting plate 5. A first clamping block 6 is connected to the connecting plate 5. A connecting hole 7 is opened on the connecting plate 5. The printer can be connected to the connecting plate 5 through a screw in the connecting hole 7. The connecting plate 5 is connected to one side of the slide block 16 through a bolt 17;

[0030] A second clamping block 9 and a lifting column 15 are connected to the sliding frame 8. By providing the lifting column 15 and cooperating with the support spring 24, the height of the sliding frame 8 can be supported to rise. A plugging rod 19 is connected to the lower end of the lifting column 15. A round hole is provided in the center of the cross-shaped block 25, and the round hole and the plugging rod 19 are mutually engaged. The lifting column 15 is connected to the slide rail side 3, and a switching mechanism for switching the connection position of the sliding column 21 is connected to the slide rail side 3.

[0031] Specifically, as Figure 1 shown, limiting edges 2 are symmetrically connected to the frame body 1. The limiting edges 2 are arranged on one side of the translation block 20. By providing the limiting edges 2, the structure of the translation block 20 is limited.

[0032] Specifically, as Figure 1 and Figure 3 shown, a traction bar 10 is connected between the sliding frame 8 and the slider 16. Connecting shafts 18 are connected to the outer sides of the sliding frame 8 and the slider 16. Both ends of the traction bar 10 are respectively rotatably connected to the sliding frame 8 and the slider 16 through the connecting shafts 18. By providing the connecting shafts 18, the sliding frame 8 can move synchronously with the slider 16, ensuring that the corresponding first clamping block 6 and the second clamping block 9 can be accurately docked into the corresponding slots on the back of the thermal printer, improving the stability of the clamping. Compared with the traditional fixed clamping method, the clamping stability during movement of this type is better, and the printer can be clamped at multiple angles on the back, making the installation more convenient.

[0033] Specifically, as Figure 3 and Figure 4 shown, a chute block 4 is connected to the slide rail side 3. Sliding columns 21 are connected to the upper and lower ends of the translation block 20. The sliding columns 21 are slidably connected to the chute block 4. By providing the chute block 4, the structure of the sliding columns 21 is limited, improving the stability of the horizontal movement of the translation block 20.

[0034] Specifically, as Figure 3 and Figure 4 shown, the switching mechanism includes a rotating rail 12. The rotating rail 12 is rotatably connected to the slide rail side 3. The rotating rail 12 is arranged on one side of the chute block 4. A groove for the sliding column 21 to slide is provided on the rotating rail 12. The length of the rotating rail 12 is related to the installation distance of the printer away from the wall, that is, the longer the length of the rotating rail 12, the farther the distance of the printer from the wall. When the printer is installed away from the wall, the structure of the sliding column 21 will abut against one end of the groove provided on the rotating rail 12.

[0035] Specifically, as Figure 4 shown, a rotating shaft 22 is connected to the rotating rail 12. The rotating shaft 22 is rotatably connected to the slide rail side 3.

[0036] Specifically, as Figure 6As shown in the figure, one side of the frame body 1 is connected with a fixing rod 11 through a connecting block 31. An extrusion rod 29 and a second magnet 30 are connected to the rotating track 12. A rotating block 26 is rotatably connected to the extrusion rod 29. An extrusion belt 27 is connected to the rotating block 26. A first magnet 28 is connected to the outer side of the extrusion belt 27. By setting the extrusion belt 27, the structure of the fixing rod 11 can be stably clamped, avoiding the rotation of the rotating track 12. When the rotating track 12 is stored, relying on the attraction between the first magnet 28 and the second magnet 30, the stability of the state where the extrusion belt 27 is stored on the rotating track 12 can be further improved. Subsequently, when it is necessary to rotate the rotating track 12, the operator can also easily separate the fixing rod 11 from the rotating track 12.

[0037] Specifically, as Figure 4 and Figure 5 shown in the figure, a hinge block 13 is connected to the outer side of the frame body 1. The hinge block 13 is arranged between the fixing rods 11. The fixing rod 11 is a fixed structure. A turning rod 23 is rotatably connected to the hinge block 13. A spring disc 14 is connected to the turning rod 23. The spring disc 14 is connected to a cross block 25 through a support spring 24. Through the structure of the turnable spring disc 14, the support spring 24 can switch different connection states, thereby completing different support effects.

[0038] In summary, for the wall-mounted mounting frame for a thermal printer provided in this embodiment, when installing the thermal printer, the installation method close to the wall or far from the wall can be selected. The installation method close to the wall occupies a small area and has good stability. However, since its back is against the wall, the heat dissipation efficiency of its back is relatively poor. On the contrary, when installing far from the wall. During the actual installation process, stores or merchants can adjust the installation method of the thermal printer according to the actual installation requirements and installation environment.

[0039] When wall-mounted installation close to the wall is required, the operator needs to turn the spring disc 14 so that the support spring 24 is vertically upward, so that the lower end of the insertion rod 19 is inserted into the cross block 25. Relying on the support of the support spring 24, the height of the sliding frame 8 rises. During the installation process, only the wall-mounted interface behind the thermal printer needs to be docked with the second block 9. Subsequently, relying on the gravity of the printer, the height of the sliding frame 8 drops until the sliding frame 8 abuts against the slide rail edge 3, and the support spring 24 structure is compressed. The sliding frame 8 is used to push the slider 16 to drive the two connecting plates 5 to move away from each other, ensuring that the two first blocks 6 on it can be inserted into the corresponding wall-mounted interface behind the printer. At this time, the printer cannot move left and right or back and forth. Compared with the traditional simple wall-mounted structure, this wall-mounted mounting frame is convenient for installation and disassembly, greatly improving the structural stability during the use of the printer.

[0040] When wall-mounted installation away from the wall is required, flip the spring plate 14 to cancel the docking state between the insertion rod 19 and the cross block 25. Then lift the sliding frame 8 so that the sliding column 21 slides onto the rotating track 12. Remove the bolt 17 connecting the connecting plate 5 and the slider 16, and pull the rotating track 12 so that the connecting plate 5 connected thereto can move away from the frame 1. At this time, connect the printer to the connecting plate 5, and then rely on the cross block 25 to abut against the corresponding hole positions on the back of the printer, and push the printer away from the frame 1 so that the printer is in an overhead state away from the wall. The back of the printer in this state does not fit against the wall, which can dissipate heat from the machine well. The printer structure supported by the support spring 24 can also well cope with external collisions, achieving a good buffering effect and reducing the probability of damage to the equipment caused by collisions.

[0041] This wall-mounted mounting bracket can make the installation of the thermal printer diverse through structural transformation. Compared with the mounting bracket with a traditional fixed structure, this mounting bracket structure has adjustability, and the installation effects in different installation states are better than the traditional installation method.

Various modifications to these embodiments will be obvious to those skilled in the art, and the general principles defined herein can be implemented in other embodiments without departing from the spirit or scope of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention will not be limited to these embodiments shown herein, but rather to the widest scope consistent with the principles and novel features disclosed herein.
