[0030] The utility model provides a self-service printing device, which includes: a chassis 1 and a printer 2. A cavity 10 for installing the printer 2 is formed in the chassis 1, and a pair of fixing bars 13 are arranged on the first side inner wall 11 and the second side inner wall 12 of the chassis 1, and the length direction of the fixing bars 13 is consistent with the height direction of the chassis 1. The first side inner wall 11 and the second side inner wall 12 are two opposite side walls in the cavity 10. The fixing bars 13 are arranged in an array along their own length direction. A fixing plate 14 is arranged in the cavity 10, and the fixing plate 14 is fixed on four fixing bars 13 through the adjusting holes 131. The printer 2 is arranged on the fixing plate 14. An access door 15 is rotatably arranged on the chassis 1, and a storage box 151 is arranged on the access door 15. When the access door 15 is closed, the entrance of the storage box 151 is connected to the paper outlet of the printer 2, and the access door 15 is provided with a paper box opening 152 connected with the storage box 151.

[0031] In the above scheme, a plurality of fixing strips 13 are arranged in the cavity 10 along the height direction of the chassis 1, and a plurality of adjustment holes 131 are provided on the fixing strips 13. By arranging the fixing plate 14 on different adjustment holes 131, the installation height of the printer 2 in the chassis 1 can be adjusted, so that the paper outlets of different printers 2 can be connected to the entrance of the storage box 151, which makes different types of printers 2 applicable to the chassis 1 of the present application. After the printer 2 completes the printing task, the paper can smoothly enter the storage box 151, which is convenient for the user to take out the paper from the paper box opening 152 of the access door 15, and then complete the printing. In a preferred embodiment, the printer 2 is networked, and the user can issue a printing task to the printer 2 through the Internet. Specifically, a control board and a power supply are also arranged in the chassis 1, and the power supply supplies power to the printer 2. The printer 2 is electrically connected to the control board. A wireless Internet access module and a communication antenna are arranged on the control board. The printer 2 is connected to the network through the wireless Internet access module. The wireless Internet access technology is not limited to mobile wireless communication technologies such as GSM, 3G, and 4G.

[0032] Furthermore, a fixed side plate 16 is disposed on both the first side inner wall 11 and the second side inner wall 12, the fixed side plates 16 are connected to a pair of fixed bars 13, and the ends of the fixed side plates 16 are fixed to the fixed bars 13, at least one pressing plate 161 is disposed between the two fixed side plates 16, and the printer 2 is located between the pressing plate 161 and the fixed plate 14. The printer 2 is installed between the pressing plate 161 and the fixed plate 14 to prevent the printer 2 from shaking due to transportation.

[0033] Furthermore, two rows of positioning bars are protruding from the fixing plate 14, and the bottom of the printer 2 is located between the two rows of positioning bars. The positioning bars can prevent the printer 2 from sliding.

[0034] In a preferred embodiment, a support plate 17 is further provided in the cavity 10, and the support plate 17 is fixed to the four fixing bars 13 through the adjustment holes 131. The support plate 17 is provided in the cavity 10, and some consumable parts for printing, such as paper, ink cartridges, etc., can be placed on the support plate 17, which is convenient for daily maintenance of the self-service printing device.

[0035] In addition, the chassis 1 is provided with a display port 18, and a display board 3 is provided in the inspection port. The display port 18 is located above the printer 2. Generally, the printer 2 is located above the inspection door 15. When the printer 2 has a paper jam, it is difficult to troubleshoot by opening the inspection door 15. In this solution, the chassis 1 is provided with a display port 18 above the printer 2, and a display board 3 is provided in the display port 18.
