Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of barcode printers, in particular to a barcode printer with a modular structure design combining RFID reading and writing with label printing. Background Art

[0002] RFID barcode printer is a device that combines the functions of RFID technology and barcode printing technology. This printer can write the information in the RFID chip into the label or read the information in the label at the same time as printing the label.

[0003] This type of printer is usually used in application scenarios that require the use of both RFID tags and barcode labels, such as logistics management, inventory management, asset tracking, etc. By combining RFID technology and barcode technology, RFID barcode printers can improve the efficiency of label identification and tracking, making the management of items more convenient and accurate.

[0004] The working principle of RFID barcode printer is to first feed the label paper into the printer, then print the barcode and text information on the label according to the user's needs, and write or read the data in the RFID chip at the required position. In this way, each label contains both the barcode and the RFID tag, realizing the dual identification and management of information.

[0005] In the prior art, a Chinese utility model with a comparative announcement number of CN202716562U discloses a barcode printer with ultra-high frequency RFID reading and writing functions, which also adopts the method of reading the RFID tag for subsequent printing. However, in the current label printing equipment, most of them read the RFID tag through a reading component and then control the subsequent operations through a computer. In some scenarios, it is actually a repeated processing of a certain type of operation, so the operation can be simplified by reading itself. Utility Model Content

The two fixing mechanisms 2 are respectively arranged on both sides of the upper end of the barcode printer 1, and the reading mechanism 3 is installed on any one of the fixing mechanisms 2.

[0030] The reading mechanism 3 includes a sealing cover 31, a base 32 is installed on the upper end of the sealing cover 31, a lifting seat 39 is axially slidably connected inside the base 32, the bottom of the lifting seat 39 cooperates with the base 32 through a supporting spring 310, a groove is formed on the lifting seat 39, a swing shaft 37 is installed at the center position of the groove of the lifting seat 39, the upper end of the swing shaft 37 is swingably connected to a swing seat 36, a reading button 33 is fixed to the top of the swing seat 36, the reading button 33 has a reading coil built in, a plurality of press switches 38 are distributed along the circumference of the top edge of the lifting seat 39, the lower end of the reading button 33 corresponds to the press switch 38, the lower end of the sealing cover 31 cooperates with the fixing mechanism 2, and a groove that cooperates with the fixing mechanism 2 is formed at the lower end of the sealing cover 31, and a matching component is installed in the groove of the sealing cover 31.

[0031] In this embodiment, the mating component of the sealing cover 31 includes a lock buckle 34, which is fixed in the groove of the sealing cover 31. Two connecting electrode sheets 35 are symmetrically arranged on the outer side of the lock buckle 34. The fixing mechanism 2 includes a fixing seat 21. A reset spring 24 is installed inside the fixing seat 21. A waterproof cover 22 is connected to the top of the reset spring 24. A telescopic column 23 is sleeved on the outside of the reset spring 24. Electrical contacts are installed on the inner wall of the fixing seat 21 at positions corresponding to the connecting electrode sheets 35.

[0032] In this embodiment, the fixing base 21 is connected to the barcode printer 1 by hot-melt welding, thereby ensuring the installation and subsequent fixing effect of the fixing base 21 .

[0033] In this embodiment, a rubber layer is provided at the position where the outer circumferential surface of the waterproof cover 22 and the fixing seat 21 cooperate to ensure that the fixing seat 21 has a sealing and waterproof effect when the reading mechanism 3 is not installed.

[0034] In this embodiment, the feedback pressure of the pressing switch 38 is greater than the feedback pressure of the supporting spring 310 , so that the supporting spring 310 can be pressed down first, and then the reading button 33 can be pushed to swing.

[0035] In this embodiment, the swing angle of the swing seat 36 is 5 degrees.

[0036] In this embodiment, four push switches 38 are provided and evenly distributed on the lifting base 39 .

[0037] Working principle: According to the actual use scenario, choose a suitable position to install the reading mechanism 3. For example, if the ticket outlet is facing you, install the sealing cover 31 on the fixed seat 21 close to the ticket outlet. If you need to read other people's tickets or the administrator manages the ticket issuance, install the sealing cover 31 on the fixed seat 21 far away from the ticket outlet.

[0038] When installing the sealing cover 31, the waterproof cover 22 is pressed by the lock buckle 34 so that the lock buckle 34 is pressed into the inner side of the fixing seat 21, and the waterproof cover 22 is pressed down and retracted into the inner side of the fixing seat 21, and then the lock buckle 34 is rotated 90 degrees so that the connecting electrode sheet 35 on the lock buckle 34 is connected with the electrical contact inside the fixing seat 21, and the installation is completed;

[0039] When the barcode printer 1 is needed, the first scenario is to read only, that is, you only need to stick the RFID tag to be read on the upper end of the read button 33, and the read coil inside the read button 33 reads the RFID tag, and the data can be transmitted to the inside of the barcode printer 1 for printing or storage. In the second scenario, the RFID tag is pressed on the read button 33. At this time, the pressure given by the person is greater than the supporting force of the support spring 310, and the read button 33 is pressed down after reading the information. The electrical contacts at the bottom of the lifting seat 39 are not drawn to transmit the electrical signal to the inside of the barcode printer 1 through the connecting electrode sheet 35, and then the second label is printed at this time. In the third scenario, the RFID tag is pressed on the read button 33, and after pressing the read button 33, the read button 33 is rubbed horizontally to offset the read button 33, so that the read button 33 squeezes the press switch 38, so that the press switch 38 transmits the signal to the inside of the barcode printer 1 to print the third label. A single reading mechanism 3 can be used to quickly complete the operation process on the computer, shorten the operation time, simplify the operation process, and improve work efficiency.

[0040] The above shows and describes the basic principle, main features and advantages of the utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that the utility model is not limited by the above embodiments, and the above embodiments and descriptions are only for explaining the principle of the utility model. Without departing from the spirit and scope of the utility model, the utility model may have various changes and improvements, and these changes and improvements fall within the scope of the utility model to be protected.
