[0027] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model.

[0028] To address the technical problem of existing wire marking machines where the handle and housing are integrated, making the handle non-removable and inconvenient to carry after damage, this invention provides a label printer that improves the efficiency of connecting the handle and housing, facilitating subsequent replacement or repair.

[0029] It should be noted that the label printer described in this utility model is used in, but not limited to, the field of wire marking machines. For ease of explanation, this utility model only uses the application of the label printer in the field of wire marking machines as an example for explanation. The principle of the label printer applied to other types of equipment is essentially the same as that applied to the field of wire marking machines, and will not be described in detail here.

[0030] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a label printer in one embodiment of the present invention. The label printer includes a housing 1, a fixing plate 12, and a connecting handle 2. An installation position 11 is provided inside the housing 1, and the fixing plate 12 is disposed in the installation position 11. The structural strength of the fixing plate 12 is greater than the structural strength of the housing 1. The connecting handle 2 is fixedly connected to the fixing plate 12.

[0031] It should be noted that the fixing plate 12 of the present invention is fixedly installed in the mounting position 11. It can be that the fixing plate 12 is directly fixed in the mounting position 11, or the fixing plate 12 is connected to the outer shell 1 by connecting the connecting handle 2, or the fixing plate 12 is fixed in the connecting position 11 by the intermediate connecting member.

[0032] It is understandable that, in order to ensure a stable connection between the connecting handle 2 and the outer shell 1, the number of fixing plates is preferably two, which are used to connect the two sides of the connecting handle 2 to the two sides of the outer shell 1 respectively.

[0033] In this embodiment, by using a fixed liner 12 to connect the outer shell 1 and the connecting handle 2, the connecting handle 2 and the outer shell 1 are set separately, which avoids the problem of having to replace the entire outer shell when the handle is dropped and damaged, and avoids damage to the internal structural components of the outer shell 1. Moreover, by using a fixed liner 12 to connect the outer shell 1 and the connecting handle 2, the connection strength between the outer shell 1 and the connecting handle 2 is enhanced.

[0034] In one possible embodiment, the mounting position 11 is disposed inside the outer casing 1, and the fixing plate 12 is fixed inside the mounting position 11, thereby making the fixing plate 12 located inside the outer casing 1, reducing the volume of the entire device, and since the fixing plate 12 does not protrude from the outer casing 1, it also reduces the risk of the outer casing 1 being damaged.

[0035] In one possible embodiment, the mounting position 11 is a groove structure, which further enhances the stability of the mounting of the fixing plate 12 and prevents the outer shell 1 from being damaged.

[0036] In one possible embodiment, the connecting handle 2 has an installation chamber 21, through which the connecting handle 2 is connected to the fixed liner 12, thereby facilitating the installation of the connecting handle 2 and the fixed liner 12, and further preventing the outer shell 1 from being damaged when the connecting handle 2 touches the ground.

[0037] In one possible embodiment, the label printer further includes a connector 4, one end of which passes sequentially through the connecting handle 2 and the fixing plate 12 and extends into the mounting position 11, thereby connecting the connecting handle 2 to the fixing plate 12. The connector 4 facilitates the assembly between the connecting handle 2 and the fixing plate 12, and also facilitates the replacement of the connecting handle 2 if it is damaged by a fall.

[0038] In one possible embodiment, the connecting handle 2 includes a first handle housing 22 and a second handle housing 23, both of which are fixedly connected to the fixed liner 12. The first handle housing 22 and the second handle housing 23 are connected in a cooperative manner to form the connecting handle 2.

[0039] In this embodiment, the connecting handle 2 is set as two parts, which facilitates the assembly of the connecting handle 2 and avoids the risk of the connecting handle 2 being completely damaged when it is dropped, thus further strengthening the strength of the connecting handle 2.

[0040] It is understood that the first handle housing 22 and the second handle housing 23 can be ultrasonically welded to form an integrated structure, or in order to avoid overall damage, the first handle housing 22 and the second handle housing 23 can be assembled together by snap-fitting. This utility model does not limit this.

[0041] In one possible embodiment, the mounting chamber 21 includes a first chamber 221 and a second chamber 231. The first chamber 221 is opened inside the first handle housing 22, and the second chamber 231 is opened inside the second handle housing 23. The mounting chamber 21 is formed by splicing the first chamber 221 and the second chamber 231 together.

[0042] In this embodiment, a first chamber 221 and a second chamber 231 are respectively provided corresponding to the first handle housing 22 and the second handle housing 23. The first chamber 221 and the second chamber 231 are fixed to the fixed liner 12 by the connector 4, thereby strengthening the connection strength between the connecting handle 2 and the fixed liner 12, and also facilitating assembly.

[0043] In one possible embodiment, the inner wall of the first chamber 221 is provided with a first screw hole 222, and the inner wall of the second chamber 231 is provided with a second screw hole 232. The connector 4 includes a first connector 41 and a second connector 42. The first connector 41 passes through the first screw hole 222, and the second connector 42 passes through the second screw hole 232. The connection strength between the first handle housing 22 and the second handle housing 23 and the fixed liner 12 is ensured by the threaded connection.

[0044] The first connector 41 and the second connector 42 are preferably screws.

[0045] In one possible embodiment, the outer wall of the mounting chamber 21 is detachably connected to a sealing cover 3, which can cover the connector 4 to ensure the overall aesthetics of the label printer.

[0046] In one possible embodiment, the sealing cover 3 has a first notch 31 and a second notch 32 on both sides of the side facing the installation chamber 21, and a protrusion 33 is provided between the first notch 31 and the second notch 32 to further enhance the overall aesthetics of the connecting handle and facilitate the installation of the sealing cover 3.

[0047] To better understand this utility model, the following is combined with... Figures 1 to 6 The technical solution of this utility model is described in detail as follows: Workers weld the first handle housing 22 and the second handle housing 23 together, merging the first chamber 221 and the second chamber 231 into a single mounting chamber 21. This causes the protrusion 223 on the first handle housing 22 to extend into the groove 233 on the second handle housing 23, forming a U-shaped connecting handle 2. This handle 2 is then assembled onto both sides of the outer casing 1. A first connecting screw 41 and a second connecting screw 42 pass through the first screw hole 222 and the second screw hole 232, extending into the interior of the outer casing 1 for fixation. The liner 12 is mounted on the outer casing 1, and the sealing cover 3 is engaged with the outer wall of the mounting chamber 21, which not only conceals the handle but also enhances the aesthetics of the entire handle 2. The handle 2 is detachable, which makes it easy for staff to disassemble and replace the handle, reducing the cost of use. The liner 12 is located inside, which reduces the overall size of the printer and further reduces the risk of damage from drops. If the liner 12 is installed outside, the mounting position may protrude outward, increasing the risk of damage from drops.

[0048] The specific embodiments of this utility model described above do not constitute a limitation on the scope of protection of this utility model. Any other corresponding changes and modifications made based on the technical concept of this utility model should be included within the scope of protection of the claims of this utility model.
