Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of printers, and in particular relates to a printer capable of switching paper output directions. Background Art

[0002] A printer is one of the output devices of a computer, used to print computer processing results on related media.

[0003] A portable printer is a relatively small type of printer. Common portable printers on the market usually only support one direction of paper output, that is, paper can only be output from the front or the top. It cannot meet the needs of different people and has limitations in use. Summary of the invention

[0004] The object of the present invention is to provide a printer capable of switching the paper output direction, so as to solve the problems raised in the above-mentioned background technology.

[0005] In view of this, the present invention provides a printer capable of switching paper output direction, comprising: A printer frame is formed with a printing space, wherein paper is led out of the printing space, and a first mounting surface and a second mounting surface are connected to each other on one side where the printing space is located and on the side adjacent to the printing space; A first base and a second base, wherein the first base can be adapted to be installed on the first mounting surface or the second mounting surface, and the second base can be adapted to be installed on the first mounting surface or the second mounting surface, and when the first base is adapted to be installed on the first mounting surface and the second base is adapted to be installed on the second mounting surface, the paper inside the printing space formed by the first base is discharged in an upward direction; When the first base is adapted to be installed on the second installation surface and the second base is adapted to be installed on the first installation surface, the paper inside the printing space formed by the first base is ejected in the forward direction.

[0006] In the present invention, a further implementation scheme is that two first button holes are provided on the side of the first mounting surface away from the printing space, and the corner where the first mounting surface and the second mounting surface meet is a transition surface with a rounded structure, and a second button hole is provided on the side of the transition surface close to the printing space.

[0007] In the present invention, a further implementation scheme is that two third buckle holes opposite to each other are provided on one side of the second mounting surface close to the transition surface, and two fourth buckle holes opposite to each other are provided on one side of the second mounting surface close to the lower part.

[0008] In the present invention, a further implementation scheme is that a first positioning buckle and a second positioning buckle are provided on the first base, the first positioning buckle can be snap-fitted and fixed with the first button hole and the fourth button hole, and the second positioning buckle can be snap-fitted and fixed with the second button hole and the third button hole.

[0009] In the present invention, a further implementation scheme is that a third positioning buckle and a fourth positioning buckle are provided on the second base, and the third positioning buckle can be fixed by snapping and fitting with the fourth button hole and the first button hole, and the fourth positioning buckle can be fixed by snapping and fitting with the third button hole and the second button hole.

[0010] In the present invention, a further implementation scheme is that the first positioning buckle and the third positioning buckle are the same and both have a trapezoidal structure.

[0011] In the present invention, a further implementation scheme is that a first notch and a second notch are respectively provided on the first base and the second base at positions corresponding to the printing space. When the first base and the second base are assembled on the printer frame, the outer edges of the first notch and the second notch are surrounded by a surrounding edge, and rubber is sleeved on the surrounding edge.

[0012] In a further embodiment of the present invention, the printer frame is provided with anti-turnover feet at the bottom of the second mounting surface.

[0013] The beneficial effects of the present invention are: This printer is compatible with free switching of two paper output directions at the same time. The printer frame has two installation parts, a first installation surface and a second installation surface. The printing space is located on the first installation surface. The internal paper is led out from the printing space after printing. The first base and the second base can both be adapted to the first installation surface and the second installation surface for installation at the same time. When the first base is installed on the first installation surface and the second base is installed on the second installation surface, the printer outputs paper from the top; when the first base is installed on the second installation surface and the second base is installed on the first installation surface, the printer outputs paper from the front. Therefore, the paper output direction can be switched freely to be compatible with different usage requirements.

[0014] The first notch and the second notch on the first base and the second base form a peripheral edge, and rubber is sleeved on the peripheral edge to protect the peripheral edge of the wire.

[0015] The bottom side of the printer frame is equipped with anti-overturning feet to prevent the printer from tipping over. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

By switching the first base 2 and the second base 3 to be installed at different positions of the printer frame 1, two paper output directions are formed, thereby truly achieving compatibility of the paper output directions.
