By providing a lock catch on the printer, the lock catch can lock the button or switch on the printer, so that the button or switch cannot be pressed, to achieve the function of locking the printer door cover, so that non-staff cannot open the printer at will, to achieve the function of protecting the printer and improve the safety of the printer.

[0049] As shown in Figures 1 to 5 In one or more embodiments, the present disclosure provides a printer, which includes a printer body 100, a door cover 200, a lock 300, a button 400, and a lock catch 500. The printer body 100 is provided with an opening. The door cover 200 is provided on the opening in an openable and closable manner, and the door cover 200 is provided with a locking portion 210. The lock 300 is provided on the printer body 100 and is adapted to cooperate with the locking portion 210 to lock. The button 400 is provided on the printer body 100 and is linked with the lock 300. When the button 400 is pressed, the lock 300 releases the locking portion 210. The button 400 is provided with a lock catch groove 410. The lock catch 500 is movably provided in the printer body 100 along a first direction. When one end of the lock catch 500 is inserted into the lock catch groove 410, the button 400 is locked. When the lock catch 500 is away from the lock catch groove 410, the button 400 is unlocked. The first direction is perpendicular to the moving direction of the button 400.

[0050] Specifically, the printer body 100 is a main frame of the printer, which at least comprises a printer paper bin, a printer core and a printing paper are arranged on the printer body 100, and an opening on the printer body 100 is communicated with the printer paper bin. The door cover 200 is movably arranged on the opening of the printer body 100, one end of the door cover 200 is hinged to the printer body 100, and the other end is provided with a locking portion 210. A lock 300 is arranged on the printer body 100, and the lock 300 cooperates with the locking portion 210 to lock the door cover 200 on the printer body 100. The lock 300 is driven by a button 400, and when the button 400 is pressed, the lock 300 is unlocked with the locking portion 210, and at this time the door cover 200 can be opened. A spring is further arranged between the button 400 and the printer body 100, and the button 400 is reset by the spring after being pressed, so as to facilitate the next pressing.

[0051] In the embodiment, the printer body 100 is further provided with a lock catch 500 corresponding to the button 400, and the lock catch 500 is movably arranged along a direction perpendicular to the moving direction of the button 400. For example, when the button 400 moves in the front-back direction, the lock catch 500 can move in the up-down direction or in the left-right direction, so that one end of the lock catch 500 can be inserted into the limiting groove 410 of the button 400. When the lock catch 500 moves towards the button 400 and one end of the lock catch 500 is inserted into the lock catch groove 410 of the button 400, the button 400 cannot be pressed, and at this time the door cover 200 of the printer cannot be opened. When the lock catch 500 is moved in the opposite direction and one end of the lock catch 500 is away from the lock catch groove 410, the button 400 can be normally pressed, and the door cover 200 can be opened.

[0052] In the embodiment, by additionally arranging the lock catch 500 on the printer, the button 400 can be locked, so that the door cover 200 cannot be opened, and the function of locking is achieved. In addition, the lock catch 500 is located in the printer body 100, and the outside of the lock catch 500 can be shielded by a cover plate or the like. The lock catch 500 is hidden, so that non-working personnel cannot see the lock catch 500, and thus cannot open the lock catch 500 to open the door cover 200, thereby improving the safety of the printer.

[0053] It should be noted that the focus of the embodiment is to additionally arrange the lock catch 500 on the printer which can be opened by the button 400 or the switch, so as to lock the button 400 or the switch. The scheme of the embodiment can be applied not only to the printer, but also to all devices which can be opened by the button or the switch.

[0054] The specific structure of the lock 300 and the locking portion 210 is not limited in the embodiment, as long as the lock 300 and the locking portion 210 can cooperate to lock the door cover 200 when pressed, and the lock 300 and the locking portion 210 can be unlocked when the button 400 is pressed, which are all within the protection scope of the application.

[0055] As an example, as shown in Figure 5 The lock 300 includes a lever 310 and a locking member 320, the locking member 320 is provided with a hook suitable for being engaged with the locking portion 210, the locking portion 210 can be a slot, the lever 310 and the locking member 320 are respectively rotatably connected with the printer body 100, the lever 310 is arranged along the vertical direction, the locking member 320 is arranged along the horizontal direction and is parallel to the door cover 200, the upper end of the lever 310 is hingedly connected with the locking member 320, and the lower end of the lever 310 is arranged corresponding to the button 400; when the button 400 is pressed, the button 400 drives the lever 310 to rotate, and the lever 310 drives the locking member 320 to rotate when rotating, so that the locking member 320 is away from the locking portion 210. In addition, the lock 300 and the locking portion 210 can also adopt the structure in the prior art to realize locking and unlocking, the technical scheme of the embodiment can directly add the lock catch 500 to the original printer, without changing the original locking structure of the door cover 200, so that the structure is simple, and the change to the printer is small.

[0056] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 6 and Figure 7 The printer body 100 is provided with a mounting hole 110, and an opening is arranged at one end of the mounting hole 110 facing the button 400; the lock catch 500 is movably arranged in the mounting hole 110, and one end of the lock catch 500 can extend out of the opening.

[0057] In the embodiment, it is assumed that the button 400 is arranged to move along the horizontal direction, the mounting hole 110 is arranged above the button 400, an opening is arranged at the lower end of the mounting hole 110, and the lock catch 500 is movably arranged in the mounting hole 110 along the vertical direction, the mounting hole 110 can limit the lock catch 500, so that the lock catch 500 moves in the mounting hole 110. When the lock catch 500 moves in the mounting hole 110 to the position that one end of the lock catch 500 extends out of the opening and is inserted into the lock catch slot 410 of the button 400, the button 400 is locked, the button 400 cannot be pressed, and the door cover 200 is locked; when the lock catch 500 moves to the position that one end of the lock catch 500 is retracted into the mounting hole 110, the button 400 is unlocked and can be normally pressed to open the door cover 200.

[0058] In the embodiment, a cover plate can be arranged on the mounting hole 110 to shield the lock catch 500, the cover plate can be a cover plate on the printer or a shell of the self-service equipment. When the lock catch 500 needs to be operated, the cover plate is removed; when the lock catch 500 does not need to be operated, the cover plate is covered to hide the lock catch 500, so that non-working personnel cannot unlock the lock catch 500 to lock the button 400.

[0059] Further, as shown in Figure 8 and Figure 9As shown, the latch 500 includes a latching part 510 and a limiting part 520. The latching part 510 is movably disposed in the mounting hole 110. The limiting part 520 is connected to the latching part 510. The latching part 510 cooperates with the latching groove 410. The limiting part 520 cooperates with the printer body 100 to limit the movement stroke of the latching part 510.

[0060] like Figure 7 As shown, the latching part 510 moves vertically within the mounting hole 110. When the latching part 510 moves downward until one end is inserted into the latching groove 410, the button 400 is locked. When the latching part 510 moves upward until it disengages from the latching groove 410, the button 400 is unlocked. The limiting part 520 is connected to the locking part 510. The limiting part 520 cooperates with the limiting structure on the printer body 100 to limit the downward movement of the locking part 510, thereby preventing the locking part 510 from disengaging from the mounting hole 110. This application does not limit the specific form of the limiting part 520 and the limiting structure on the printer body 100, as long as they can cooperate with the limiting part 520 to limit the downward movement of the locking part 510. For example, the limiting part 520 can be a protrusion on the locking part 510, or it can be a structure that extends horizontally outside the mounting hole 110. The limiting structure on the printer body 100 can be a protrusion inside the mounting hole 110, or it can be a structure that is horizontally located outside the mounting hole 110. When the locking part 510 moves upward to abut against the top wall of the mounting hole 110, the upward movement of the locking part 510 can be limited.

[0061] Furthermore, such as Figure 6 As shown, the printer body 100 has a first snap-fit ​​portion 120 corresponding to the mounting hole 110; as Figure 8 As shown, the latch 500 also includes a second latching part 530, one end of which is connected to the latching part 510, and the other end of which is latched to the first latching part 120, so as to limit the latching part 510 in the moving direction parallel to the button 400.

[0062] The first latching portion 120 on the printer body 100 engages with the second latching portion 530 on the latch 500, which can limit the latch 500 in the direction of movement of the button 400 to prevent the latch 500 from dislodging from the printer body 100. In this embodiment, the specific form of the first latching portion 120 is not limited. For example, the first latching portion 120 can be a slot, a latching post, or a hook, as long as the second latching portion 530 engages with the first latching portion 120 and the latch 500 does not dislodge outward from the mounting hole 110. Of course, the latch 500 can also use other structures for horizontal limiting. For example, a limiting protrusion can be provided in the mounting hole 110 to block the latch 500, preventing the latch 500 from dislodging outward from the mounting hole 110 in the horizontal direction.

[0063] Further, as shown in Figures 7 to 9 The lock catch 500 further comprises a knob 540 protruding from the lock catch portion 510. When the lock catch 500 is installed in the mounting hole 110, the knob 540 is located outside the lock catch portion 510. In actual operation, the lock catch 500 can be moved by the knob 540, so as to facilitate the operation of the lock catch 500, reduce the force, and improve the user experience.

[0064] Further, as shown in Figure 1 The lock catch 500 further comprises a knob 540 protruding from the lock catch portion 510. When the lock catch 500 is installed in the mounting hole 110, the knob 540 is located outside the lock catch portion 510. In actual operation, the lock catch 500 can be moved by the knob 540, so as to facilitate the operation of the lock catch 500, reduce the force, and improve the user experience.

[0065] Specifically, when the unlocking mark 512 on the lock catch portion 510 is downwardly moved to correspond to the through hole 610 on the upper cover plate 600, it indicates that the button 400 is in an unlocked state, and the button 400 can be normally pressed to open the door cover 200. When the locking mark 511 on the lock catch portion 510 is upwardly moved to correspond to the through hole 610 on the upper cover plate 600, it indicates that the button 400 is in a locked state, and the button 400 cannot be normally pressed, and the door cover 200 cannot be opened.

[0066] By setting the locking mark 511 and the unlocking mark 512 on the lock catch portion 510, and by making the unlocking mark 512 correspond to the through hole 610 when the button 400 is unlocked, and making the locking mark 511 correspond to the through hole 610 when the button 400 is locked, the state of the button 400 can be easily checked by the staff, so as to avoid forgetting to lock the button 400, and improve the safety of the printer.

[0067] Further, the self-service equipment further comprises an outer cover plate covering the upper cover plate 600, and the through hole 610 on the upper cover plate 600 is covered by the outer cover plate, so as to hide the marks on the lock catch 500, improve the concealment of the lock catch 500, and further improve the safety of the printer. In the embodiment, the outer cover plate can be fixed on the upper cover plate 600 or the printer main body 100 by a magnet or a bolt. The outer cover plate can be the shell of the printer, or the shell of the self-service equipment.

[0068] In one embodiment, the self-service equipment further comprises a lock catch, a button, and a mounting hole, as shown in Figure 10As shown, it comprises a shell 10 and the printer described in any of the above embodiments, the structure of the printer is as Figures 1 to 9 As shown, the shell 10 covers the printer body 100, the shell 10 is provided with an opening corresponding to the door cover 200 of the printer, the door cover 200 is flush with the outer surface of the shell 10, the printer body 100 is installed in the shell 10, the lock catch 500 on the printer is also hidden in the shell 10, and the lock catch 500 cannot be seen from the appearance of the self-service equipment, so that the lock catch 500 is hidden and the effect is concealed, so as to avoid non-staff opening the lock catch 500, so that the door cover 200 cannot be opened by pressing the button 400 in the use process, and the use safety of the printer and the self-service equipment is improved.
