Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of printers and relates to a cover flip-up label printer. Background Art

[0002] A label printer is a device that prints information on a label. When printing, the print head is pressed against the print roller, and the label and the carbon ribbon pass between the print head and the print roller. The movement drives the print roller to rotate to achieve the printing process. The carbon ribbon and print paper roll of the existing label printer are independent consumables. Since independent carbon ribbon and print paper are required, the existing printer is difficult to assemble and has a large size.

[0003] To this end, a Chinese patent discloses a thermal transfer printer mechanism and a printer [application publication number is CN114851717A]. When the ribbon transmission gear moves, the recovery shaft power rod is driven to rotate through the anti-rotation structure. The recovery shaft power rod drives the recovery shaft damping torsion spring in the middle to rotate through the tight-fitting friction force. The recovery shaft damping torsion spring drives the ribbon recovery shaft to rotate through the pin and the damping spring on the ribbon recovery shaft, generating power for the ribbon to move forward. When the rotation speed of the ribbon transmission gear is too fast, the force generated by the ribbon recovery shaft on the recovery shaft damping torsion spring pin will increase, causing the inner diameter of the recovery shaft damping torsion spring to increase. When the generated force exceeds the damping value, the recovery shaft damping torsion spring and the recovery shaft power rod generate relative movement, so that the force on the ribbon recovery shaft does not exceed the limit value at all times, thereby preventing the ribbon from being subjected to excessive force.

[0004] The ribbon cartridge is a consumable material of the printer, and the cost of the ribbon cartridge directly affects the printing cost. The above components such as the recovery shaft power rod, recovery shaft resistance spring, and pressure spring that play a role in slipping are installed in the ribbon cartridge, which increases the cost of the ribbon cartridge and leads to high printing cost.

[0008] The printing paper roller, carbon ribbon roller, recycling roller and printing rubber roller are parallel to each other. The carbon ribbon drawn from the carbon ribbon roller passes between the print head and the printing rubber roller and is wound on the recycling roller. The paper tape drawn from the printing paper roller passes between the print head and the printing rubber roller and extends out from the paper outlet. The paper outlet is located at the joint between the free end of the machine cover and the printer body. The anti-rotation function is integrated into the power mechanism, which simplifies the structure of the carbon ribbon box and reduces the printing cost.

The second output gear is rotatably engaged on the gear shaft, and a first damping spring with one end connected to the intermediate gear is sleeved on the gear shaft, and the other end of the first damping spring is connected to the second output gear.

[0012] When the middle gear rotates, the first damping spring is twisted. When the damping value of the first damping spring is exceeded, the first damping spring drives the second output gear to rotate, and the second output gear drives the second driven gear to rotate, thereby realizing the rotation of the recycling roller. When the middle gear stops rotating, the first damping spring resets and drives the second output gear to rotate further, tightening the ribbon to prevent slipping.

[0016] In the above-mentioned flip-up label printer, the unlocking structure includes a limit stop edge arranged in the printer body, the elastic claw is provided with a boss, and the boss is provided with a guide slope. When the carbon ribbon box is placed in the accommodating cavity, the limit stop edge squeezes the guide slope to make the elastic claw disengage from the limit groove.

[0017] The limit stop extends along the direction of insertion of the carbon ribbon cassette, and the extension direction of the elastic claw is the same as the extension direction of the limit stop. The boss is located on the side of the elastic claw facing the second driven gear. When the carbon ribbon cassette is placed into the accommodating cavity, the limit stop squeezes the guide slope to cause the elastic claw to elastically deform toward the side away from the limit groove, so that the part of the elastic claw stuck in the limit groove is separated from the limit groove. When the carbon ribbon cassette is installed in place, the elastic claw is continuously in an elastically deformed state under the action of the limit stop and will not be stuck in the limit groove.

[0021] During installation, the first cover is separated from the restriction of the first elastic buckle, the first cover is opened, and then the carbon ribbon roller is placed in the first arc groove, and the first cover is closed, so that the carbon ribbon roller rotates and fits in the first mounting hole. A clearance space is formed in the middle of the first mounting hole to provide space for the carbon ribbon, and an axial limit stop is provided, through which the axial movement of the carbon ribbon roller can be limited. After the first cover is closed, a first carbon ribbon port for the carbon ribbon to pass through is provided between the free end of the first cover and the carbon ribbon box.

[0022] In the above-mentioned flip-up label printer, the second cover body is rotatably arranged on the carbon ribbon box through the second rotating shaft, the carbon ribbon box is provided with a third arc groove, and the second cover body is provided with a fourth arc groove. When the second cover body is closed, the third arc groove and the fourth arc groove constitute a second mounting hole, the recovery roller is rotatably fitted in the second mounting hole, the carbon ribbon guide part is arranged at one end of the second cover body away from the second rotating shaft, and the carbon ribbon box is provided with a second elastic buckle for buckling the carbon ribbon guide part when the second cover body is closed.

[0025] The ribbon shaft rotates under the traction of the ribbon, causing the second damping spring to twist. When the twisting force is greater than the friction between the second resistance spring and the first stepped hole, the twisted second damping spring rotates with the ribbon shaft. When the recycling roller stops, the ribbon shaft stops, and the second damping spring resets, pulling the ribbon back in a small range and tightening the ribbon.

When the motor is working, it drives the driving gear 10 to rotate, and the driving gear 10 drives the first output gear 11 and the second output gear 12 to rotate, thereby driving the first driven gear 13 and the second driven gear 14 to rotate, thereby realizing the rotation of the printing rubber roller 7 and the recovery roller 9.

[0042] like Figure 5 As shown, a gear shaft 15 is fixed on the printer body 2, and an intermediate gear 16 connected to the driving gear 10 is rotatably matched on the gear shaft 15, and the second output gear 12 is rotatably matched on the gear shaft 15. A first damping spring 17 connected to the intermediate gear 16 at one end is sleeved on the gear shaft 15, and the other end of the first damping spring 17 is connected to the second output gear 12. When the intermediate gear 16 rotates, the first damping spring 17 is twisted.
