[0049] Embodiment one
[0050] As Figures 1-3As shown, the embodiment provides an embedded micro printer 1000, which comprises a fixed assembly 100 and a movable assembly 200. The fixed assembly 100 comprises a shell 110 and a core 120 connected together, and the shell 110 is provided with a paper bin for accommodating a paper roll. The shell 110 or the core 120 is provided with a clamping groove 111, and the movable assembly 200 comprises a cover 210 and a rubber roller 220. The cover 210 is clamped with the rubber roller 220, the rubber roller 220 is clamped in the clamping groove 111, and the cover 210 is rotatably connected with the fixed assembly 100 through a rotating shaft, and the rotating shaft is parallel to the rubber roller 220. The embedded micro printer 1000 realizes the connection between the movable assembly 200 and the fixed assembly 100 through the clamping of the rubber roller 220 and the clamping groove 111. Since the paper roll is a consumable, when the paper roll is exhausted, the cover 210 needs to be opened to put in a new paper roll. When the cover 210 is opened, the rubber roller 220 needs to be separated from the clamping groove 111, the cover 210 is rotated relative to the fixed assembly 100, the paper bin is in an open state, the paper roll can be taken out, and the paper roll can be replaced. Of course, in order to make the rubber roller 220 more stable in the clamping groove 111 and prevent it from being separated, a clamping spring for clamping the rubber roller 220 can also be arranged on the clamping groove 111.
[0051] Please continue to see Figures 1-3 In order to open the cover 210, the cover 210 is provided with an opening slot 211, and the opening slot 211 is configured to exert an external force on the opening slot 211 through an opening piece 2000, so that the rubber roller 220 can be separated from the clamping groove 111. The specific method is that the opening piece 2000 is inserted into the opening slot 211, and then the opening piece 2000 is pried downward or pulled outward, so that the rubber roller 220 is separated from the clamping state with the fixed assembly 100, that is, the rubber roller 220 is separated from the clamping groove 111 under the action of the opening piece 2000, and the purpose of opening the paper bin is achieved.
[0052] The cover 210 of the embedded micro printer 1000 cannot be opened by hand, and the cover 210 must be opened with the help of the opening piece 2000, which avoids the problem that the cover 210 is easily opened, is conducive to improving the stability of the closed cover 210, and further improves the safety of the embedded micro printer 1000 during use. At the same time, compared with the embedded micro printer 1000 in the prior art, the micro printer of the embodiment does not need to arrange an opening assembly between the cover 210 and the fixed assembly 100, so that the cover 210 directly covers the paper bin, which is conducive to increasing the sealing effect between the cover 210 and the fixed assembly 100, avoiding dust from entering the shell 110, increasing the sealing property, and expanding the application range. Moreover, the embedded micro printer 1000 only sets the opening slot 211 on the existing cover 210, which simplifies the structure and reduces the cost.
[0053] In order to facilitate the opening of the cover 210, the opening slot 211 is arranged close to the rubber roller 220.

The body 212 is provided with an opening 2121, the sidewall 213 is connected with the inner wall of the opening 2121, and the circumferential direction of the groove bottom 214 is connected with the sidewall 213. The sidewall 213 and the groove bottom 214 jointly form the cover opening groove 211. The cover opening groove 211 has a simple structure, is easy to process, and is conducive to reducing costs.
[0055] As an embodiment, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 4 , along the depth direction of the cover opening groove 211, the cross-sectional shape of the cover opening groove 211 is a one-dimensional type. The cross section of the cover opening groove 211 is parallel to the depth direction of the cover opening groove 211. The cover opening groove 211 has a simple structure and is easy to process. When the cross-sectional shape of the cover opening groove 211 is a one-dimensional type, the cover opening piece 2000 can be various shaped pry bars, screwdrivers, metal or non-metal sheet bodies or rod bodies, etc. In use, the cover opening piece 2000 is only inserted into the cover opening groove 211, and then the cover opening piece 2000 is pressed down to make the cover opening piece 2000 form a certain angle with the cover 210, so as to realize the opening of the cover 210.
[0056] Further, when the cross-sectional shape of the cover opening groove 211 is a one-dimensional type, the shape of the opening 2121 is circular, square, strip-shaped, regular polygon or irregular polygon, so as to reduce the restriction on the cover opening piece 2000 and facilitate the operator to pry the cover plate with a tool.
[0057] Exemplarily, the cover opening piece 2000 includes but is not limited to various shaped pry bars, screwdrivers, metal or non-metal sheet bodies or rod bodies, pull rods, etc.
[0058] Optionally, the cover 210 is further provided with a containing groove configured to place the cover opening piece 2000, so as to facilitate the operator to take it. The containing groove can be arranged at any position of the cover 210 where a groove structure can be arranged, and the embodiment is not specifically limited.

When the opening device 2000 extends into the strip-shaped opening 2121, the first extension part 2002 first extends into the extension groove 2111 in the opening 2121 direction of the strip-shaped opening 2121, and the strip-shaped opening 2121 can accommodate the length of the first extension part 2002. Then, when the opening device 2000 extends to the bottom, the opening device 2000 can be rotated by 90°, so that the first extension part 2002 at least partially extends into the force applying groove 2112, so that the operator can exert downward pressure or outward pulling force at one end of the first hand-held part 2001 of the opening device 2000 to open the cover 210.
[0063] Meanwhile, the opening device 2000 can also be an L-shaped plate structure, and the opening device 2000 includes a first hand-held part 2001 and a first extension part 2002 connected in an L shape, and the first hand-held part 2001 and the first extension part 2002 are both plate-shaped. As shown in Figure 6 the width of the extension groove 2111 is not less than the length of the first extension part 2002, so that the first extension part 2002 can extend into the extension groove 2111. When the opening device 2000 extends to the bottom of the extension groove 2111, the opening device 2000 can be moved to the force applying groove 2112 direction, so that the first extension part 2002 is at least partially located in the force applying groove 2112, so that the operator can exert downward pressure or outward pulling force at one end of the first hand-held part 2001 of the opening device 2000 to open the cover 210.
[0064] At this time, the force applying groove 2112 is located on the side of the extension groove 2111 close to the rubber roller 220, and according to the principle of lever, the force applying groove 2112 located on the side of the extension groove 2111 close to the rubber roller 220 is beneficial to the operator to save labor.

[0069] In addition, referring to Figure 8 , the cover opening member 2000 can also be a T-shaped rod structure, and the cover opening member 2000 includes a second hand holding part 2003 and a second extension part 2004 connected in a T shape. When the cover opening member 2000 extends into the strip-shaped opening 2121, the second extension part 2004 first extends into the extension groove 2111 along the opening 2121 direction of the strip-shaped opening 2121, and the strip-shaped opening 2121 can accommodate the length of the second extension part 2004. Then, when the cover opening member 2000 extends to the bottom, the cover opening member 2000 can be rotated by 90°, so that the second extension part 2004 at least partially extends into the force applying groove 2112, so that the operator can exert downward pressure or outward pulling force at one end of the second hand holding part 2003 of the cover opening member 2000 to open the cover 210.
