Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of printers, in particular to a module housing and a printer. Background Art

[0002] In some instruments, a micro printer needs to be installed on the terminal panel of the instrument.

[0003] In this regard, the prior art provides an embedded micro-printer housing for installation on the front panel of an instrument. The printer housing includes a housing, a panel and a module. The panel is arranged on the housing. The module includes a slider base slidably arranged on the panel and a slider slidably arranged on the slider base. In the initial state, the slider base and the slider are completely placed in the groove of the housing. The housing, the slider base and the slider can pass through the mounting hole of the front panel as a whole, while the panel cannot pass through, and the panel can abut against the surface of the first side of the front panel. During installation, the slider base is slid to install the slider base in place, and then the slider is slid relative to the slider base. Since the slider is arranged on the slider base through an arc-shaped curved slideway, during the sliding process of the slider, the slider moves in a direction close to the front panel. At the same time, the slider extends out of the groove relative to the housing and the slider base, and the slider is further slid until the slider abuts against the second side of the front panel, thereby completing the installation of the printer housing through the panel and the slider abutting against the two sides of the front panel respectively.

[0004] However, this solution has the following two problems. On the one hand, after the slider base is installed in place, the slider is extended as a whole relative to the slider base, and the slider occupies a large space. On the other hand, when the slider is sliding relative to the slider base, the movement of the slider toward the front panel and the movement of extending out of the groove are performed simultaneously. If the front panel is thick, the slider may abut against the front panel before it is completely extended from the groove, thereby causing the slider and the panel to be unable to stably clamp the front panel of the instrument, further resulting in unstable installation of the printer housing.

[0018] As a preferred embodiment of the module shell, the abutment block has a first groove and a second groove which are spaced apart from each other, and a convex rib is provided between the first groove and the second groove. The module shell also includes a limit bar provided on the main body. When the abutment block is located at an initial position, the limit bar extends into the first groove, and at this time the first groove (35) extends along a first direction.

[0021] The beneficial effects of the utility model are:

[0022] The utility model provides a module housing, which is used to be installed on a terminal panel. The terminal panel has a mounting hole extending along a first direction. The module housing includes a main body, a module panel, an abutment block and a locking member. The main body is used to be inserted into the mounting hole; the module panel is fixedly arranged on the main body; the abutment block can rotate relative to the main body and has an initial position and an intermediate position.

[0045] In some instruments, it is necessary to install a micro printer on the terminal panel of the instrument. However, the existing technology has the following problems: on the one hand, after the slider base is installed in place, the slider is extended relative to the slider base as a whole, and the slider occupies a large space; on the other hand, during the sliding process of the slider relative to the slider base, the slider moves toward the front panel and extends out of the groove simultaneously. If the front panel is thick, the slider may abut against the front panel before it is fully extended from the groove, so that the slider and the panel cannot stably clamp the front panel of the instrument, which further leads to unstable installation of the printer housing.

[0046] In view of the above problems, this embodiment provides a module housing to solve the problem in the prior art that the slider occupies a large space and may cause the slider and the panel to be unable to stably clamp the front panel, and can be used in the field of printer technology.

[0047] Reference Figure 1-Figure 10 The module housing is used to be installed on the terminal panel, and the terminal panel has a mounting hole. The module housing includes a main body, a module panel, an abutment block and a locking member. The main body is used to be inserted into the mounting hole; the module panel 2 is fixedly arranged on the main body 1; the abutment block 3 can rotate relative to the main body 1 and has an initial position and an intermediate position. When the abutment block 3 is located at the initial position, the main body 1 and the abutment block 3 are not interlaced with the terminal panel along the first direction. At this time, the main body 1 and the abutment block 3 can pass through the mounting hole along the first direction. When the abutment block 3 is located at the intermediate position, the abutment block 3 can also slide relative to the main body 1 and have a limited position. When the abutment block 3 is located at the limited position, the abutment block 3 and the module panel 2 can respectively abut against both sides of the terminal panel along the first direction to clamp the terminal panel. When the abutment block 3 is located at the limited position, the locking member 4 can lock the position of the abutment block 3 relative to the main body 1, so that the module housing is stably installed on the terminal panel. In the module housing, the abutment block 3 is first rotated relative to the main body 1, and then slid into place to complete the installation. After the rotation, the abutment block 3 can be only partially extended, which can reduce the space occupied. At this time, the abutment block 3 located in the middle position has been staggered with the terminal panel along the first direction. Later, it is only necessary to slide the abutment block 3 until it is tightly against the terminal panel to complete the installation. In addition, the extension of the abutment block 3 and the movement close to the terminal panel are not performed synchronously. The abutment block 3 is extended relative to the rotation of the main body. At this time, the change in the distance between the abutment block 3 and the terminal panel is small. When the terminal panel is thicker, the abutment block 3 can still slide relative to the main body 1 along the first direction after rotating to the middle position, and then abut against the terminal panel, which can avoid the situation where the abutment block 3 has contacted the terminal panel before it is fully extended, thereby avoiding the situation where the abutment block 3 and the module panel 2 cannot stably clamp the terminal panel.

[0048] Continue to refer to Figure 1-Figure 10The main body 1 is provided with a first slide groove 11 extending along a first direction, the abutment block 3 is provided with a rotating shaft 31, and can rotate relative to the main body 1 through the rotating shaft 31, and the rotating shaft 31 is slidably set in the first slide groove 11. Such a setting can enable the abutment block 3 to limit the sliding direction of the abutment block 3 through the rotating shaft 31 when it is rotated to the middle position and slides relative to the main body 1 along the first direction, so that the abutment block 3 can slide stably relative to the main body 1.

[0049] Continue to refer to Figure 1-Figure 10 The main body 1 is also provided with a second slide groove 12 parallel to the first slide groove 11, that is, the second slide groove 12 also extends along the first direction, and the abutment block 3 is provided with a slider 32. When the abutment block 3 is located at the initial position, the slider 32 is located outside the second slide groove 12, and when the abutment block 3 is located at the middle position, the slider 32 is located inside the second slide groove 12, so that when the abutment block 3 moves from the middle position to the limit position, the movement process of the slider 32 is as follows: Fig.10 As shown, when the abutment block 3 is located in the middle position, the slider 32 is located outside the second slide groove 12, specifically, between the first slide groove 11 and the second slide groove 12, and then the abutment block 3 rotates along the rotating shaft 31 relative to the main body 1, and the slider 32 moves to the dotted line position in the figure. At this time, the first slide groove 11 and the second slide groove 12 can be matched with the rotating shaft 31 and the slider 32 to ensure that the abutment block 3 slides stably in the first direction.

[0050] Continue to refer to Figure 1-Figure 10 The abutment block 3 has a through hole 33, and the locking member 4 is a bolt passing through the through hole 33. The bolt is threadedly connected to the main body 1, and the head of the bolt abuts against the abutment block 3. The user can drive the abutment block 3 to move by screwing the bolt. In addition, since the installation angle of the bolt relative to the main body 1 is unchanged, and the abutment block 3 will rotate relative to the main body 1, there is a gap between the screw rod of the bolt and the hole wall of the through hole 33 to prevent the abutment block 3 from interfering with the bolt.

[0051] Optionally, the abutment block 3 has an avoidance groove 34 , and when the abutment block 3 is located between the middle position and the limit position, a portion of the screw rod of the bolt extends into the avoidance groove 34 to prevent the abutment block 3 from interfering with the bolt.

[0052] Optionally, the main body 1 is provided with a nut installation groove 14, a nut 41 is arranged inside the nut installation groove 14, the position of the nut 41 is fixed relative to the main body 1, and the bolt thread is passed through the nut 41. The abutment block 3 is located between the module panel 2 and the head of the bolt, and the head of the bolt and the abutment block 3 can abut along the first direction, so that the user can move the head of the bolt along the first direction by screwing the bolt, thereby driving the abutment block 3 to slide along the first direction.

[0053] Continue to refer to Figure 1-Figure 10The module housing further includes a reset elastic member 5, which is used to provide an elastic force to keep the abutment block 3 away from the module panel 2. When the module housing needs to be disassembled, the user can loosen the bolts, and the abutment block 3 is moved away from the module panel 2 and thus away from the terminal panel under the action of the reset elastic member 5 to complete the disassembly. The reset elastic member 5 is connected between the main body 1 and the abutment block 3. Specifically, the abutment block 3 has an inner cavity, and the reset elastic member 5 is connected between the main body 1 and the cavity wall of the inner cavity.

[0054] Continue to refer to Figure 1-Figure 10 The module shell also includes a limiting structure arranged on the main body 1, and the abutment block 3 is located between the module panel 2 and the limiting structure. When the abutment block 3 is located at the initial position, the abutment block 3 can abut against the limiting structure along the first direction, thereby preventing the abutment block 3 located at the initial position from falling off from the main body 1.

[0055] Continue to refer to Figure 1-Figure 10 The abutment block 3 has a first groove 35 and a second groove 36 arranged at intervals, and a convex rib 37 is provided between the first groove 35 and the second groove 36. The module housing also includes a limit bar 6 provided on the main body 1. When the abutment block 3 is located at the initial position, the limit bar 6 extends into the first groove 35, and at this time the first groove 35 extends along the first direction. When the abutment block 3 moves from the initial position to the middle position, the limit bar 6 can pass over the convex rib 37 and move into the second groove 36, and at this time the second groove 36 extends along the first direction. At least one of the convex rib 37 and the limit bar 6 is elastic. Such a setting enables the abutment block 3 to move to another position as quickly as possible when switching between the initial position and the middle position, and can prevent the abutment block 3 from moving excessively or failing to move to the right position.

[0056] Optionally, in this embodiment, the limiting structure is a limiting block 61 protruding from the main body 1, and when the abutting block 3 is located at the initial position, the abutting block 3 can abut against the limiting block 61 along the first direction. The limiting strip 6 is disposed on the limiting block 61, so that the limiting block 61 and the limiting strip 6 form a whole, so as to reduce the number of parts.

[0057] Continue to refer to Figure 1-Figure 10 The main body 1 has a mounting groove 13. When the abutment block 3 is located at the initial position, the abutment block 3 is located in the mounting groove 13. When the abutment block 3 is located at the limit position, part of the abutment block 3 extends out of the mounting groove 13, that is, part of the abutment block 3 protrudes relative to the surface of the main body 1. At this time, the protruding part can block the main body 1 and the abutment block 3 from passing through the mounting hole as a whole, so that the abutment block 3 can be tightly pressed against one side of the terminal panel.

[0058] The present embodiment also provides a printer, including a printing module and the above-mentioned module housing, the module housing being a printer housing, the module housing being used to be installed on a terminal panel, the printing module being arranged in the module housing, and being used to print on a medium to be printed. In the module housing, when the abutment block 3 is located at an initial position, the main body 1 and the abutment block 3 can pass through the mounting hole along a first direction, when the abutment block 3 is located at an intermediate position, the abutment block 3 can also slide relative to the main body 1 and have a limited position, when the abutment block 3 is located at a limited position, the abutment block 3 and the module panel 2 can respectively abut against both sides of the terminal panel along a first direction to clamp the terminal panel. In the module shell, the abutment block 3 is first rotated relative to the main body 1 and then slid into place to complete the installation. After the rotation, the abutment block 3 can be only partially extended, which can reduce the space occupied. In addition, the extension of the abutment block 3 and the movement close to the terminal panel are not performed synchronously. The abutment block 3 is extended relative to the rotation of the main body. At this time, the change in the distance between the abutment block 3 and the terminal panel is small. When the terminal panel is thicker, the abutment block 3 can still slide relative to the main body 1 after rotating to the middle position, and then abut with the terminal panel, which can avoid the situation where the abutment block 3 contacts the terminal panel before it is fully extended, thereby avoiding the situation where the abutment block 3 and the module panel 2 cannot stably clamp the terminal panel.

[0059] Obviously, the above embodiments of the present invention are merely examples for the purpose of clearly illustrating the present invention, and are not intended to limit the implementation methods of the present invention. For those skilled in the art, various obvious changes, readjustments and substitutions can be made without departing from the scope of protection of the present invention. It is not necessary and impossible to list all implementation methods here. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention shall be included in the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
