The horizontal guide cavity is located on the side of the horizontal guide frame away from the paper blocking frame and extends towards the vertical wire routing module for guiding the antenna towards the vertical wire routing module.

[0013] Further, the horizontal guide frame includes a lower support frame and an upper limit frame. The upper limit frame is located above the lower support frame, and a horizontal limit cavity is formed between the upper limit frame and the lower support frame.

[0014] Further, the upper limit frame is provided with a limit edge. The limit edge extends towards the lower support frame, and a supply through hole is formed between the limit edge and the lower support frame. The supply through hole communicates with the horizontal limit cavity.

[0034] 4221 - Wire blocking plate 10a - Antenna Specific embodiments

[0035] The preferred embodiments of the present invention will be specifically described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The accompanying drawings form a part of this application and are used together with the embodiments of the present invention to explain the principles of the present invention, rather than to limit the scope of the present invention.

[0036] The embodiment of the present invention provides a wire routing structure and a printer. By providing a slidable paper blocking frame and installing the RFID antenna 10a on the paper blocking frame, the RFID antenna 10a can adapt to the identification of labels of any size, ensuring the identification rate of the labels, thereby solving the technical problem that the RFID antenna 10a of the printer in the prior art is difficult to identify labels of different size types.

[0037] The technical solution of the present invention provides a wire routing structure, as Figures 1-3 shown, including a paper bin 10, a paper blocking frame 20, a sliding frame 30 and a wire routing unit 40. The paper bin 10 is provided with a paper feeding channel 11; the paper blocking frame 20 is arranged on the paper bin 10 and on both sides of the paper feeding channel 11. An installation groove 21 is arranged in the circumferential direction of the paper blocking frame 20 for installing the antenna 10a; the sliding frame 30 is fixed to the paper blocking frame 20 and is slidably connected to the paper bin 10; the wire routing unit 40 is fixed to the sliding frame 30 for feeding the antenna 10a and guiding the antenna 10a to the circuit board.

[0038] Specifically, the wire routing structure is configured by setting a paper bin 10, a paper blocking frame 20, a sliding frame 30, and a wire routing unit 40. The paper bin 10 is provided with a paper feeding channel 11 through which labels can be fed. The paper blocking frame 20 is arranged on the paper bin 10 and on both sides of the paper feeding channel 11, and the paper blocking frame 20 can limit the labels in the paper feeding channel 11. An installation groove 21 is arranged in the circumferential direction of the paper blocking frame 20. The RFID antenna 10a can be sleeved on the paper blocking frame 20 through the installation groove 21 and can be limited by the installation groove 21. The sliding frame 30 is fixed to the paper blocking frame 20 and is slidably connected to the paper bin 10. By sliding along the paper bin 10, the sliding frame 30 can drive the paper blocking frame 20 to slide, so that the paper feeding channel 11 can adapt to the paper feeding of labels of different sizes. The antenna 10a is installed on the paper blocking frame 20 and can move synchronously with the paper blocking frame 20, so as to be able to identify labels of any size and ensure the recognition rate of the labels at the same time. The wire routing unit 40 is fixed to the sliding frame 30, through which the RFID antenna 10a can be routed and guided towards the circuit board, which is convenient for the connection between the antenna 10a and the circuit board. Through the guiding function of the wire routing unit 40, the antenna 10a can be prevented from contacting other moving parts of the printer and interfering with the actions of other moving parts.

[0039] It can be understood that the paper bin 10 can be any bin structure for winding and accommodating labels.

[0040] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 shown, the paper blocking frame 20 includes two relatively arranged first paper blocking plates 22 and second paper blocking plates 23. The sliding frame 30 is arranged on both the first paper blocking plate 22 and the second paper blocking plate 23. The first paper blocking plate 22 and the second paper blocking plate 23 are slidably connected to the paper bin 10 through the sliding frame 30. The distance between the first paper blocking plate 22 and the second paper blocking plate 23 can be adjusted by the sliding of the first paper blocking plate 22 and the second paper blocking plate 23 along the paper bin 10, so that the paper feeding channel 11 can adapt to the paper feeding of labels of different sizes.

[0041] In this embodiment, among them, as Figure 1 shown, the first paper blocking plate 22 includes a cover plate 221 and a cover body 222. The installation groove 21 is arranged on the cover plate 221. The cover body 222 covers the cover plate 221 and is located outside the installation groove 21, so as to limit the RFID antenna 10a sleeved on the installation groove 21 inside the paper blocking plate.

[0042] In this embodiment, as Figures 2-3 shown, the cover plate 221 is provided with a support ring 2211 and a plurality of limit blocks 2212. The support ring 2211 is fixed to the cover plate 221. Each limit block 2212 is fixedly arranged at intervals along the circumferential direction of the support ring 2211. An installation groove 21 is formed by enclosing the support ring 2211, the cover plate 221 and each limit block 2212.

[0043] Understandably, the sliding carriage 30 can be slidably connected to the paper bin 10 through structures such as chutes and slide rails slidably connected to the paper bin 10.

[0044] In this embodiment, a slide bar is provided on the outer side of the paper bin 10, and the sliding carriages 30 of the two cardboard baffles are sleeved on the slide bar and slidably connected to the slide bar, thereby realizing the sliding connection with the paper bin 10.

[0045] Understandably, the wire routing unit 40 can be structures such as conduits and guide grooves extending towards the circuit board.

[0046] In one of the embodiments, as Figures 2-3 shown, the wire routing unit 40 includes a horizontal wire routing module 41 and a vertical wire routing module 42. The horizontal wire routing module 41 is located on one side of the paper baffle 20 and is used to lead the antenna 10a out of the paper bin 10. The vertical wire routing module 42 is located below the horizontal wire routing module 41 and extends towards the circuit board and is used to guide the antenna 10a towards the circuit board. Specifically, after the RFID antenna 10a is sleeved on the paper baffle 20 through the mounting groove 21, both ends thereof enter the horizontal wire routing module 41, pass through the horizontal guidance of the horizontal wire routing module 41 and exit the paper bin 10, and then enter the vertical wire routing module 42, and are guided towards the circuit board by the vertical wire routing module 42. Through the two-stage guidance of the horizontal wire routing module 41 and the vertical wire routing module 42, the antenna 10a led out from the paper baffle 20 can be smoothly guided to the circuit board.

[0047] In one of the embodiments, as Figure 2 shown, the horizontal wire routing module 41 includes a horizontal guide frame 411 and a horizontal guide cavity 412. The horizontal guide frame 411 is fixed to the sliding carriage 30 and is located on one side of the paper baffle 20 and is used to support the antenna 10a. The horizontal guide cavity 412 is located on the side of the horizontal guide frame 411 away from the paper baffle 20 and extends towards the vertical wire routing module 42 and is used to guide the antenna 10a towards the vertical wire routing module 42. Specifically, after the RFID antenna 10a exits the paper baffle 20, it will enter the horizontal guide frame 411, enter the horizontal guide cavity 412 after being supported by the horizontal guide frame 411, and the horizontal guide cavity 412 guides the antenna 10a horizontally out of the paper bin 10. Through the support of the horizontal guide frame 411 and the guiding cooperation of the horizontal guide cavity 412, the horizontal guidance of the antenna 10a is finally realized.

[0048] In one of the embodiments, as Figure 2As shown in the figure, the lateral guide frame 411 includes a lower support frame 4111 and an upper limit frame 4112. The upper limit frame 4112 is located above the lower support frame 4111, and a lateral limit cavity 4113 is formed between the upper limit frame 4112 and the lower support frame 4111. Specifically, after the RFID antenna 10a passes through the paper blocking frame 20, it will enter the lateral limit cavity 4113 between the lower support frame 4111 and the upper limit frame 4112. The lateral guide frame 411 can support the antenna 10a through the lower support frame 4111, and the upper limit frame 4112 can limit the upper side of the antenna 10a to ensure the stability of the antenna 10a.

[0049] In one embodiment, as Figure 2 shown, the upper limit frame 4112 is provided with a limit edge 4114. The limit edge 4114 extends towards the lower support frame 4111, and a feeding through opening 4115 is formed between the limit edge 4114 and the lower support frame 4111. The feeding through opening 4115 is communicated with the lateral limit cavity 4113. Specifically, the limit edge 4114 can limit the antenna 10a in the lateral limit cavity 4113 from the side, so as to prevent the antenna 10a from coming out of the lateral limit cavity 4113. The feeding through opening 4115 between the limit edge 4114 and the support frame can allow the antenna 10a to enter the lateral limit cavity 4113, which provides convenience for the arrangement of the antenna 10a.

[0050] In one embodiment, as Figure 3 shown, the sliding frame 30 is further provided with two limit plates 31. The two limit plates 31 are respectively located on the upper and lower sides of the lateral guide cavity 412 and extend towards the direction of the vertical wiring module 42. Specifically, after the RFID antenna 10a passes through the lateral guide cavity 412, the limit plates 31 can limit the antenna 10a from the upper and lower sides.

[0051] In one embodiment, as Figures 2-3 shown, the vertical wiring module 42 includes a first blocking frame 421 and a second blocking frame 422. The first blocking frame 421 and the second blocking frame 422 are both fixed on the sliding frame 30 and are arranged at intervals along the horizontal direction of the sliding frame 30. A vertical guide channel 423 is formed between the first blocking frame 421 and the second blocking frame 422. The vertical guide channel 423 is used for the antenna 10a to route. Specifically, the antenna 10a passing through the feeding through opening 4115 will enter the vertical guide channel 423 between the first blocking frame 421 and the second blocking frame 422, and enter the circuit board after being guided by the vertical guide channel 423.

[0052] In this embodiment, as Figures 2-3 shown, the number of the first blocking frames 421 is two. The two first blocking frames 421 are arranged at intervals along the vertical direction of the sliding frame 30, and the second blocking frame 422 is located between the two first blocking frames 421.

[0053] In one embodiment, asFigures 2-3 As shown, the second baffle 422 is provided with a wire baffle 4221, and the wire baffle 4221 extends in the direction of the first baffle 421. Specifically, the wire baffle 4221 can limit the antenna 10a in the vertical guiding channel 423 to prevent the antenna 10a from coming out of the vertical guiding channel 423.

[0054] In one of the embodiments, as Figures 2-3 shown, the horizontal wire routing module 41 and the vertical wire routing module 42 are respectively located on the inner and outer sides of the sliding frame 30. The wire routing unit 40 further includes a transition port 43, and the transition port 43 is located between the horizontal wire routing module 41 and the vertical wire routing module 42 for the antenna 10a to pass through. Specifically, by arranging the horizontal wire routing module 41 and the vertical wire routing module 42 on the inner and outer sides of the sliding frame 30, the RFID antenna 10a led out from the paper baffle 20 will enter the horizontal wire routing module 41 on one side, then through the guidance of the horizontal wire routing module 41, then pass through the transition port 43, and enter the vertical wire routing module 42 on the other side. Thus, the RFID antenna 10a led out from the paper baffle 20 is separated on both sides of the sliding frame 30, avoiding the mixing of the antennas 10a due to being on the same side.

[0055] In this embodiment, as Figures 2-3 shown, the horizontal wire routing module 41 is located on the outer side of the sliding frame 30, and the vertical wire routing module 42 is located on the inner side of the sliding frame 30.

[0056] The technical solution of the present utility model also provides a printer, including the above-mentioned wire routing structure. Specifically, by setting the wire routing structure, the printer can identify labels of any size and ensure the recognition rate of the labels at the same time. Through the guidance of the RFID antenna 10a towards the circuit board by the wire routing unit 40, it can prevent the antenna 10a from contacting other moving parts of the printer and interfering with the actions of other moving parts.

[0057] In this embodiment, as Figures 1-3 shown, the sliding frame 30 is provided with a rack 32. The printer further includes a driving gear, and the driving gear meshes with the rack 32 and can be connected to a motor. The motor drives the driving gear, and then drives the paper baffle 20 to slide. Through the guiding action of the wire routing unit 40, it can prevent the RFID antenna 10a from contacting the driving gear and the rack 32 and causing jamming of the driving gear and the rack 32.

[0058] The above are only the preferred specific embodiments of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any changes or substitutions that can be easily thought of by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed by the present utility model should be covered within the protection scope of the present utility model.
