[0041] In the following, only some exemplary embodiments are briefly described. As those skilled in the art will appreciate, the described embodiments may be modified in various ways without departing from the spirit or scope of the present application. Therefore, the drawings and descriptions are considered to be exemplary and non-restrictive in nature.

[0042] like Figures 1-14 As shown, this embodiment provides a cutter fixing mechanism for a thermal printer, which includes a plastic upper shell 1 of the printer, a drive motor 2, a worm 3, a worm gear 4, a micro switch 5, a plastic lower shell 6, a pressing sheet 7, a bracket 8, and a blade 9.

[0043] The drive motor 2 and the micro switch 5 are arranged on the lower side of the plastic upper shell 1, and the worm gear 4 is rotatably arranged on the lower side of the plastic upper shell 1. The drive motor 2 is engaged with the worm gear 4 through the worm 3. The upper side of the worm gear 4 is provided with a protrusion 41 that acts on the contact 51 of the micro switch 5, and the lower side of the worm gear 4 is provided with a toggle protrusion 42.

[0044] The pressing sheet 7 is arranged on the upper side of the plastic lower shell 6 , the bracket 8 is arranged between the plastic lower shell 6 and the pressing sheet 7 so as to be slidable forward and backward, and the blade 9 is arranged on the front side of the bracket 8 .

[0045] Among them, the plastic lower shell 6 is arranged on the lower side of the plastic upper shell 1 and forms an accommodating cavity between the two to enclose the drive motor 2, the worm 3, the worm wheel 4, the micro switch 5, the pressing piece 7, the bracket 8, and the blade 9 inside the accommodating cavity. A slot for the blade 9 to enter and exit is reserved on the front side of the accommodating cavity. A plastic part with a C-shaped slot 61 for installing a rubber roller is arranged on the front part of the lower side of the plastic lower shell 6; the bracket 8 is provided with a transverse groove 81, and the end of the toggle boss 42 extends into the transverse groove 81.

[0046] The cutter fixing mechanism provided in the present embodiment replaces the sheet metal upper shell of the cutter module of the thermal printer in the prior art with the plastic upper shell 1 of the thermal printer, and the sheet metal lower shell station plastic lower shell 6 is installed in the accommodating cavity formed by the plastic lower shell 6 and the plastic upper shell 1. On the one hand, the sheet metal upper shell is directly omitted, the thickness of the equipment is reduced, and it is conducive to realizing the design requirements of the ultra-thin printer. On the other hand, the omitted sheet metal upper shell and the replaced plastic lower shell 6 can reduce the surface treatment process and reduce the manufacturing cost. Moreover, by arranging a plastic part with a C-shaped slot 61 on the front part of the lower side of the plastic lower shell 6, the rubber roller can be clamped into the C-shaped slot 61, which is convenient for installing the rubber roller.

[0047] In this embodiment, the drive motor 2 is directly fixed to the lower side of the plastic upper shell 1. In an alternative embodiment, a convex plate 11 protruding downward is provided on the lower side surface of the plastic upper shell 1. The convex plate 11 is provided with a perforation, and the drive motor 2 is provided with a threaded hole corresponding to the perforation. The drive motor 2 is fixed to the convex plate 11 by screws; since the convex plate 11 is integrally formed on the lower side surface of the plastic upper shell 1, the direct fixation of the drive motor 2 and the plastic upper shell 1 is completed. In an alternative embodiment, in addition to the convex plate 11 for screwing the screws, a limit clamping plate surrounding the drive motor 2 is further provided on the lower surface of the plastic upper shell 1 at the position corresponding to the installation of the drive motor 2. The drive motor 2 is initially clamped and fixed to the lower surface of the plastic upper shell 1 by the limit clamping plate, and then fixed by screws, which is convenient for installation.

[0048] In this embodiment, the motor shaft and the worm 3 extend horizontally (nearly parallel to the plastic upper shell 1), and the worm wheel 4 is placed flat under the plastic upper shell 1. Through the worm wheel 4 and the worm 3, the power output by the drive motor 2 rotating around the horizontal axis is changed into the power rotating around the vertical axis (referring to the axis nearly perpendicular to the plastic upper shell 1). Therefore, the worm wheel 4 needs to be connected to the plastic upper shell 1 through a vertical shaft. In an alternative embodiment, an inlay hole is provided on the lower side surface of the plastic upper shell 1. The upper end of the mounting post 12 is fixedly inserted into the inlay hole, the lower end of the mounting post 12 protrudes downward, and a circumferential clamping groove is provided at the lower end of the mounting post 12; the worm wheel 4 is rotatably sleeved on the mounting post 12. After being sleeved, a snap spring 13 is installed in the clamping groove, and the snap spring 13 is used to realize the limit of the worm wheel 4 along the direction of the mounting post 12. In an alternative embodiment, the mounting post 12 is integrally formed under the plastic upper shell 1.

[0049] In this embodiment, the protrusion 41 rotates with the worm wheel 4. For each rotation, the protrusion 41 touches the contact 51 at least once, and the micro switch 5 is triggered once. If necessary, multiple protrusions 41 can also be provided. The contact 51 is triggered multiple times when the worm wheel 4 rotates one circle. The protrusion 41 contacts the contact 51 intermittently, and it is necessary to reduce the impact force between the protrusion 41 and the contact 51 to avoid damage to the contact 51. In an optional embodiment, the protrusion 41 includes an annular portion coaxial with the worm wheel 4 and a protrusion integrally arranged on one side of the annular portion. The connection between the protrusion and the annular portion is smoothly transitioned, and the end of the protrusion away from the annular portion is in the shape of an arc. In an optional embodiment, the connection between the protrusion on the side facing the contact 51 and the annular portion adopts an involute curve transition, that is, the protrusion can be regarded as a solid protrusion formed on one side of the annular portion according to the involute curve. In order to ensure that the protrusion 41 slides (rotates) smoothly against the plastic upper shell 1, the plastic upper shell 1 is provided with two concentric ring convex rings 14, which correspond to the rotation trajectory of the protrusion 41. The upper surface of the protrusion 41 can be against the lower surface of the concentric ring convex ring 14. On the one hand, the concentric ring convex ring 14 is used to limit the protrusion 41 (that is, to limit the worm gear 4), and on the other hand, the contact area between the convex ring and the lower side surface of the plastic upper shell 1 is reduced to reduce friction and provide a smooth slideway (track) for the protrusion 41. It should be noted that the spacing between the retaining ring 13 and the concentric ring convex ring 14 should be slightly smaller than the sum of the thicknesses of the worm gear 4 and the protrusion 41.

[0050] In this embodiment, the axis of the toggle boss 42 is not colinear with the axis of the worm wheel 4, so that as the worm wheel 4 rotates, the toggle boss 42 acts in the transverse groove 81 of the bracket 8 to enable the bracket 8 to move in the front-to-back direction (the front-to-back direction sliding limit of the bracket 8 is described below). In an optional embodiment, the toggle boss 42 is a circular column or a pin.

[0051] In this embodiment, the pressing piece 7 is connected to the plastic lower shell 6 by screws, the lower side of the bracket 8 is provided with a downwardly protruding guide column 82, and the upper side of the plastic lower shell 6 is provided with a guide groove 62 extending in the front-to-back direction, and the end of the guide column 82 extends into the guide groove 62, so as to ensure that the bracket 8 and the blade 9 can only move forward and backward; the pressing piece 7 is used to press the bracket 8 downward (i.e., press the bracket 8 toward the side close to the plastic lower shell 6) and prevent the blade 9 from detaching from the bracket 8 (the connection between the blade 9 and the bracket 8 is introduced below), so the pressing piece 7 should have a certain elasticity. In an optional embodiment, the pressing piece 7 is an elastic metal part, which provides elastic pressure on the one hand and requires the electrostatic derivation system of the blade 9 on the other hand (the electrostatic derivation function is described below).

[0052] In this embodiment, the pressing sheet 7 is connected to a grounding terminal 71, the pressing sheet 7 is in contact with the bracket 8, the bracket 8 is in contact with the blade 9, the blade 9, the bracket 8, and the pressing sheet 7 are all made of conductive materials, and the grounding terminal 71 conducts the static electricity of the blade 9 through the grounding wire to avoid the harm caused by static electricity.

[0053] In this embodiment, the blade 9 is fixedly engaged with the bracket 8. When engaged, the blade 9 is pressed against the bracket 8 from above and then moves backward for a distance, so that parts of the blade 9 are engaged in a U-shaped groove provided on the upper side of the bracket 8, and the U-shaped groove is formed by an L-shaped plate 83 integrally formed on the upper side of the bracket 8.

[0054] In this embodiment, the plastic upper shell 1 and the plastic lower shell 6 are fixed by screws, and the micro switch 5 is directly fixed to the lower surface of the plastic upper shell 1 by screws.

[0055] Working principle: when the driving motor 2 rotates, the worm 3 drives the worm wheel 4 to rotate, and the driving boss 42 of the worm 3 rotates with the worm wheel 4 (rotates around the mounting column 12). At the same time, the driving boss 42 moves in the transverse groove 81 of the bracket 8, and the guide column 82 of the bracket 8 is restricted by the guide groove 62 of the plastic lower shell 6. Therefore, the bracket 8 is driven by the driving boss 42 to make a reciprocating motion along the guide groove 62 in the front and rear directions, thereby driving the blade 9 to move back and forth in the front and rear directions. The front end of the blade 9 extends or retracts from the notch of the accommodating cavity formed by the plastic upper shell 1 and the plastic lower shell 6, thereby realizing the paper cutting action of the cutter.
