[0039] The embodiments of the present utility model will be described in detail below. The examples of the embodiments are shown in the drawings, in which the same or similar reference numerals indicate the same or similar elements or elements with the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below by referring to the drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present utility model and should not be construed as a limitation to the present utility model.

[0040] As Figures 1 to 7As shown in the figure, this embodiment provides a sliding device, which includes a displacement component 1, a receiving bin 2, and a detection component 3. The displacement component 1 includes a fixed part 11 and a sliding part 12. The sliding part 12 is used to fixedly install the processing device 100. The fixed part 11 and the sliding part 12 are slidably matched so that the sliding part 12 can send the processing device 100 to the working position. The receiving bin 2 is fixedly installed on the sliding part 12. A limiting hole 21 is provided on the bottom wall of the receiving bin 2 opposite to the fixed part 11. The receiving bin 2 is configured to accommodate the consumables 200 consumed by the processing device 100. The consumables 200 in the receiving bin 2 block the limiting hole 21. The detection component 3 includes a reflective optoelectronic pair 31 and a light-absorbing layer 32. The reflective optoelectronic pair 31 is arranged on the fixed part 11 and on the side of the sliding part 12 away from the receiving bin 2. When the sliding part 12 is in the working position, both the emitting part and the receiving part of the reflective optoelectronic pair 31 are opposite to the limiting hole 21. The light-absorbing layer 32 is laid on the side of the sliding part 12 away from the receiving bin 2. When the sliding part 12 leaves the working position, the light-absorbing layer 32 is opposite to the reflective optoelectronic pair 31. When this sliding device works, the fixed part 11 and the sliding part 12 slide relative to each other. During this process, the emitting part emits a light signal. When the sliding part 12 brings the processing device 100 to the working position, at this time both the emitting part and the receiving part are opposite to the limiting hole 21. If the receiving part receives the light signal from the emitting part, it is determined that the processing device 100 is in place and there are consumables 200 in the receiving bin 2. When the consumables 200 in the receiving bin 2 are used up, at this time the receiving part cannot receive the light signal. Therefore, it is determined that the processing device 100 is not in place or the consumables 200 in the receiving bin 2 are used up. When the processing device 100 is not in the working position, the light-absorbing layer 32 absorbs the light signal emitted by the emitting part. Therefore, the receiving part does not receive the light signal. Therefore, it is determined that the processing device 100 is not in place or the consumables 200 in the receiving bin 2 are used up. This sliding device can detect the paper in the receiving bin 2 and whether the processing device 100 is in place through a single reflective optoelectronic pair 31. Furthermore, the complexity of the sliding device is reduced, and the manufacturing and maintenance costs are reduced.

[0041] Optionally, the fixed part 11 is fixedly installed on the industrial equipment 300.

[0042] Optionally, the light-absorbing layer 32 is a light-absorbing foam. In other embodiments, the light-absorbing layer 32 can also be a light-absorbing paint coated on the sliding part 12.

[0043] Optionally, the displacement component 1 further includes a sliding member 13. The sliding member 13 includes a sliding rail 131 and a slider 132 that are slidably matched. One of the sliding rail 131 and the slider 132 is arranged on the fixed part 11, and the other is arranged on the sliding part 12. In this embodiment, the slider 132 is provided with a chute, and the sliding rail 131 is located in the chute and is slidably matched with the slider 132. The slider 132 can be one, or two or three. The above settings achieve the sliding match between the sliding part 12 and the fixed part 11.

[0044] Optionally, at least two sliding members 13 are provided. The at least two sliding members 13 are arranged between the sliding portion 12 and the fixed portion 11, and the at least two sliding members 13 are arranged at intervals in a direction perpendicular to the sliding direction of the sliding portion 12. In this embodiment, the above arrangement improves the stability of the relative sliding between the sliding portion 12 and the fixed portion 11.

[0045] Optionally, the sliding portion 12 is provided with a sliding groove 121 which extends along the sliding direction of the sliding portion 12, and the fixed portion 11 is provided with a fixed groove 111 which extends in a direction perpendicular to the sliding direction of the sliding portion 12. The sliding portion 12 is inserted into the fixed groove 111, and the sliding groove 121 and the fixed groove 111 enclose an installation cavity, and the sliding member 13 is located in the installation cavity. In this embodiment, since the sliding device is usually arranged in a relatively harsh environment, if the sliding member 13 is not protected, the sliding member 13 is very likely to be stuck, which is not conducive to the stable operation of the sliding device. Therefore, the above arrangement makes the sliding member 13 located in the installation cavity enclosed by the fixed portion 11 and the sliding portion 12, thereby effectively avoiding the influence of external dust and grit on the sliding member 13.

[0046] Optionally, the detection assembly 3 further includes a fixed bracket 33 which is arranged on the fixed portion 11. Along the sliding direction of the sliding portion 12, the relative position of the fixed bracket 33 and the fixed portion 11 is adjustable, and the fixed bracket 33 is fixedly connected to the reflective optoelectronic pair 31. In this embodiment, in different working scenarios, the working position of the sliding portion 12 is different, which is manifested as different sliding displacement amounts of the sliding portion 12 relative to the fixed portion 11. In order to enable the detection assembly 3 to adapt to different working positions, along the sliding direction of the sliding portion 12, the relative position of the fixed bracket 33 and the fixed portion 11 is adjustable, so that when the sliding portion 12 reaches the fixed position, both the emitting portion and the receiving portion of the reflective optoelectronic pair 31 are opposite to the limiting hole 21.

[0047] Optionally, the fixed bracket 33 is provided with a waist-shaped hole which extends along the sliding direction of the sliding portion 12; the detection assembly 3 further includes a locking bolt which passes through the waist-shaped hole and is screwed to the fixed portion 11. In this embodiment, the above arrangement enables the fixed bracket 33 to adjust its position relative to the fixed portion 11 along the extension direction of the waist-shaped hole when the screw head of the locking bolt does not press the fixed bracket 33 against the fixed portion 11, so that when the sliding portion 12 reaches the working position, both the emitting portion and the receiving portion of the reflective optoelectronic pair 31 are opposite to the limiting hole 21. When the screw head of the locking bolt presses the fixed bracket 33 against the fixed portion 11, the fixed bracket 33 is relatively fixed to the fixed portion 11.

[0048] Optionally, the sliding device further includes a lock 4. When the sliding part 12 is in the working position, the lock 4 is used to relatively fix the fixed part 11 and the sliding part 12. In this embodiment, the lock 4 can fix the sliding part 12 in the working position to prevent the sliding part 12 from leaving the working position under the action of an external force.

[0049] Optionally, the fixed part 11 is provided with a first pin hole 112, and the sliding part 12 is provided with a second pin hole 122; the lock 4 includes a locking pin. When the sliding part 12 is in the working position, the first pin hole 112 and the second pin hole 122 are opposite to each other, and the locking pin can be inserted into the first pin hole 112 and the second pin hole 122 simultaneously. In this embodiment, both the first pin hole 112 and the second pin hole 122 are perpendicular to the sliding direction of the sliding part 12. When the locking pin is inserted into the first pin hole 112 and the second pin hole 122 simultaneously, the sliding part 12 and the fixed part 11 are relatively fixed.

[0050] This embodiment also provides an industrial printer, which includes a processing device 100, a consumable 200, and the sliding device in the above solution. The processing device 100 is a printer, and the consumable 200 is printing paper.

[0051] Obviously, the above embodiments of the present invention are merely examples for clearly illustrating the present invention, rather than limiting the implementation manners of the present invention. For those of ordinary skill in the art, other different forms of changes or modifications can be made based on the above description. It is not necessary and impossible to enumerate all the implementation manners here. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, and improvements made within the spirit and principle of the present invention shall be included in the protection scope of the claims of the present invention.
