[0025] Reference Figure 1-5 The image shown is a preferred embodiment of the present invention.

[0026] The built-in contact power supply printer includes a main unit 1 and a power supply unit 2. The main unit 1 has a power supply slot 11 for assembling the power supply unit 2. The main unit 1 is provided with a mechanical contact group located in the power supply slot 11. The power supply unit 2 is provided with an electrical contact group 21. During assembly, the electrical contact group 21 and the mechanical contact group are arranged in a contacting and conductive manner.

[0027] The aforementioned built-in contact power supply printer assembles the power supply unit 2 into the power supply slot 11. Through the contact and conduction of the electrical contact group 21 and the machine contact group, the power supply unit 2 supplies power to the host 1, achieving flexible power supply. The printer does not need to rely on mains power to operate. At the same time, through the cooperation of the electrical contact group 21 and the machine contact group, the power supply is stable. There is no need to install cables, saving space. In addition, the assembly is simple and convenient.

[0028] In practical use, when the power supply component 2 is insufficient, it can be directly replaced. The contact conduction method facilitates the disassembly and replacement of the power supply component 2.

[0029] The main unit 1 includes a step platform 12 and a base plate. The step platform 12 and the base plate are arranged in a mating arrangement, and the step platform 12 is arranged in a protruding arrangement in the direction away from the base plate. The contact assembly is installed on the step platform 12. The power supply unit 2 includes a main power board 22 and an extension power board 23. The main power board 22 and the extension power board 23 are arranged in a mating and integral arrangement. The thickness of the extension power board 23 is less than the thickness of the main power board 22. The main power board 22 and the base plate are arranged in a flat contact arrangement, and the extension power board 23 and the step platform 12 are arranged in a flat contact arrangement.

[0030] The main power board 22 enables charging and discharging, thus providing power to the host 1. With the cooperation of the extension power board 23 and the step platform 12, the stability of the contact between the electrical contact group 21 and the mechanical contact group is improved. At the same time, it plays a role in positioning and limiting the setting of the power supply component 2, improving the stability of the setting of the power supply component 2. Furthermore, it can maximize the release of the internal space of the host 1, making it easier to set up and arrange the internal components of the host 1.

[0031] The power supply component 2 includes a fastening plate 24, the inner end of which is arranged to be mated with the extension plate 23, and the outer end of which extends outward in a direction away from the extension plate 23; the main unit 1 has a fastening groove, which is arranged in communication with the power supply groove 11, and the fastening groove has at least one fastening part, and the fastening plate 24 and the fastening part are arranged to be fastened or separated.

[0032] The fastening plate 24 reinforces the assembly of the power supply component 2, improving its stability. At the same time, the fastening plate 24 also facilitates the disassembly and replacement of the power supply component 2.

[0033] Positioning Example 1: The base plate has a base groove, which is recessed inward. The main source plate 22 is provided with a source positioning block, which is protruding outward. The source positioning block and the base groove are embedded in each other. In this way, the cooperation between the source positioning block and the base groove plays a positioning role in the assembly of the power supply component 2, thereby improving the assembly stability of the power supply component 2.

[0034] Positioning Embodiment 2: The base plate is provided with a base column, which is arranged to protrude outwards. The main source plate 22 is provided with a main source groove, which is arranged to be recessed inwards. The base column and the main source groove are embedded in each other. In this way, the base column and the main source groove cooperate to position the power supply component 2 and improve the assembly stability of the power supply component 2.

[0035] The power supply unit 2 has a charging port 4. The main unit 1 includes a power supply housing with a power slot 11 and a power plug 3. The power plug 3 is arranged in a through manner, and the charging port 4 is directly opposite and connected to the power plug 3. In this way, when there is mains power available, the power supply unit 2 can be charged for the subsequent use of the main unit 1.

[0036] The power supply housing includes a longitudinal shell plate and a transverse shell plate. The main unit 1 includes a longitudinal machine arm and a transverse machine arm. The longitudinal shell plate and the longitudinal machine arm are arranged in a corresponding manner at intervals. The transverse shell plate and the transverse machine arm are arranged in a corresponding manner at intervals. The longitudinal shell plate, the transverse shell plate, the longitudinal machine arm and the transverse machine arm enclose to form a power supply slot 11. The longitudinal shell plate, the transverse shell plate, the longitudinal machine arm and the transverse machine arm synchronously abut against the periphery of the power supply unit 2.

[0037] In this way, the combined action of the longitudinal shell plate, the transverse shell plate, the longitudinal machine arm, and the transverse machine arm not only positions and reinforces the power supply component 2, but also protects it from external impacts and extends its service life.

[0038] The main unit is equipped with multiple raising blocks 5, which are used to make the power supply component 2 suspended in the air. In this way, when the printer is used, the power supply component 2 is assembled to the main unit 1, and under the action of each raising block 5, the power supply component 2 is suspended in the air, which facilitates the heat dissipation of the power supply component 2. At the same time, it avoids the power supply component 2 being rubbed when the main unit 1 is moved, thus protecting the power supply component 2 and improving the safety of printer use.

[0039] Implementation Example 1:

[0040] The mechanical contact assembly includes a mechanical contact platform 13 and at least one mechanical contact 14. The mechanical contact 14 is mounted on the mechanical contact platform 13 and is arranged to protrude in a direction away from the mechanical contact platform 13. The electrical contact assembly 21 includes an inner contact plate 211 and an electrical contact ring 212. The electrical contact ring 212 is sleeved on the inner contact plate 211. The mechanical contact 14 extends through the inner contact plate and is arranged to abut against the inner contact plate 211 in a conductive manner. The mechanical contact platform 13 is embedded with the electrical contact ring 212.

[0041] In this way, the power supply component 2 supplies power to the host 1 through the contact between the machine contact 14 and the inner contact plate 211. At the same time, the electric contact ring 212 acts as a seal, providing waterproofing and preventing moisture or water from affecting the conduction between the machine contact 14 and the inner contact plate 211, thus ensuring the normal operation of the circuit.

[0042] The contact assembly includes multiple machine contacts 14, and the inner contact plate 211 has multiple inner contacts 213. Each machine contact 14 and each inner contact 213 are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence and in a one-to-one contact and conduction arrangement to realize the conduction of the circuit.

[0043] The mechanical contact group includes three mechanical contacts 14, with different mechanical contacts 14 corresponding to positive, negative, signal, and safety fuse, etc.

[0044] The mechanical contact assembly includes a mechanical contact ring 15, and a mechanical contact platform 13 is arranged inside the mechanical contact ring 15. The electrical contact assembly 21 includes an electrical contact plate with a plate groove. The plate groove is arranged in a ring shape along the outer periphery of the electrical contact ring 212 and is recessed in the direction away from the main unit 1. The mechanical contact ring 15 is embedded in the plate groove.

[0045] The combination of mechanical contact ring 15 and electrical contact ring 212 greatly enhances the waterproof effect and ensures the normal operation of the circuit.

[0046] Implementation Example 2:

[0047] The electrical contact assembly 21 includes at least one electrical contact, which is arranged in a protruding manner and is used to pass through the contact assembly and is in a conductive arrangement with the host 1.
