[0040] In order to make the purposes, technical solutions and advantages of the present application clearer, the present application 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 only used to explain the present application and not intended to limit the present application.

[0041] In the prior art, a printer includes a casing and a support, the support includes a supporting support and a mounting support, the strength of the supporting support is greater than that of the mounting support, the supporting support is used to maintain the shape, and the mounting support is used to provide a mounting position. The mounting support is mounted on the supporting support in a relatively complex manner, and usually requires a large number of screw connections.

[0042] The printer is used to print on a to-be-printed object, and the to-be-printed object (also referred to as a to-be-printed piece) can refer to a label paper, a belt or the like, which needs to print a label or a pattern on the surface. In the embodiments of the present application, the to-be-printed object is exemplarily described as a label paper.

[0043] In order to solve the above technical problems, please refer to Figures 1-2 The present application provides a printer, which includes a casing 100, a core 200 and at least one supporting rod 300.

[0044] The casing 100 is an external structure of the printer, mainly playing a role of protecting and supporting the internal components. The printer provides a containing space for containing the core 200 and other necessary printing elements.

[0045] Generally, the printer includes a main machine and a cover, the cover is rotationally connected to the main machine, so the casing 100 can include a shell part on the main machine and a shell part on the cover.

[0046] The core 200 is arranged in the containing space, and the core 200 includes a mounting support 210 and a supporting support 220. The supporting support 220 includes a bottom plate 221 and two supporting plates 222, the two supporting plates 222 are arranged along the width direction of the printer and connected to the bottom plate 221. In the embodiments of the present application, the bottom plate 221 and the supporting plates 222 are designed as an integral bending structure, so as to improve the structural strength of the entire supporting support 220. In addition, the supporting plates 222 and the bottom plate 221 as a whole can form a rectangular frame structure. When the printer is subjected to external force, such as falling or collision during transportation, the supporting support 220 can disperse the load to the two supporting plates 222 and the bottom plate 221, which helps to reduce the stress concentration of a single component, thereby reducing the risk of damage.

[0047] The support rod 300 extends along the width direction of the printer, penetrates the mounting bracket 210, and is connected with the support plate 222. The support rod 300 serves as a key component for connecting the two support plates 222. In the event of a fall or collision during transportation, the support plate 222 can also transmit force to the support rod 300. In this way, the entire support bracket 220 can more effectively resist external impact and vibration, thereby prolonging the service life of the printer.

[0048] Since the support rod 300 can improve the structural strength of the entire support bracket 220 and also penetrate the mounting bracket 210, the stability of the mounting bracket 210 relative to the support bracket 220 can be ensured, and the complexity of mounting the mounting bracket 210 and the support bracket 220 can be reduced, thereby improving the mounting efficiency of the mounting bracket 210 and the support bracket 220.

[0049] The support bracket 220, as the main load-bearing structure of the printer core 200, needs to bear greater load and impact force, while the mounting bracket 210 mainly provides a mounting position. Therefore, the strength of the mounting bracket 210 is less than that of the support bracket 220. The strength can refer to the high-strength material used by the support bracket 220, while the mounting bracket 210 uses a material with slightly lower strength.

[0050] In some embodiments, the high-strength material can refer to aluminum alloy, stainless steel, and other metal materials, while the material with slightly lower strength can refer to nylon, polycarbonate, and other engineering plastics. By using the support bracket 220 made of high-strength material and the mounting bracket 210 made of material with slightly lower strength, the stability of the printer core 200 can be ensured, and the entire printer can be designed to be lightweight.

[0051] In addition, since the mounting bracket 210 mainly mounts a circuit board, by using engineering plastic material for the mounting bracket 210, the engineering plastic material generally has excellent insulation performance, which can effectively isolate electrical elements on the circuit board, prevent short circuit and electric shock, and ensure the electrical safety and stable operation of the printer.

[0052] To improve the stability of the entire support bracket 220, please refer to Figure 2 The printer includes a plurality of support rods 300, which are spaced apart along the length direction of the bottom plate 221.

[0053] The plurality of support rods 300 form a more stable support network. In the event of an accident such as a fall, the plurality of support rods 300 can more effectively disperse impact force, reduce the concentration of stress on a single component, improve the carrying capacity of the entire structure, and thereby improve the service life of the entire printer.

[0054] The number of support rods 300 can be two, three, four, etc., which is not limited herein and can be set according to actual conditions.

[0055] To ensure that the support plate 222 is in force balance, at least two support rods 300 are connected to the two ends of the support plate 222, wherein the end refers to the area at the two ends of the support plate 222 along the length direction of the bottom plate 221, and is not limited to the end face or end point.

[0056] In the case of accidental falling of the printer, the connection of the support rod 300 to the end of the support plate 222 can more effectively disperse the impact force and reduce the damage to the support plate 222 and the components thereon.

[0057] Please refer to Figure 2 In an embodiment of the present application, the orthographic projection of the support rod 300 on the support plate 222 is located in the upper middle part of the support plate 222.

[0058] By locating the support rod 300 in the upper half of the support plate 222, i.e., the support rod 300 and the bottom plate 221 can be located at the two ends of the support plate 222 in the vertical direction, the deformation resistance of the support plate 222 can be improved, and in addition, sufficient space can be left between the support rod 300 and the bottom plate 221 to accommodate other elements of the core 200, so that the layout of the core 200 is compact, and the entire printer can be miniaturized and lightweight.

[0059] Please continue to refer to Figure 2 In an embodiment of the present application, at least two support rods 300 are arranged in a staggered manner in the height direction of the support plate 222. The staggered arrangement of the support rods 300 in the height direction forms a more complex and stable support network, which not only enhances the stability of the support plate 222 in the horizontal direction, but also improves its rigidity in the vertical direction. The staggered arrangement of the support rods 300 can better resist external deformation and pressure, and ensure that the overall structure of the printer remains stable

[0060] By arranging the support rods 300 in a staggered manner in the height direction, the stress borne by the support plate 222 and the components thereon can be more effectively dispersed and balanced. In the case of accidental falling of the printer, the staggered arrangement of the support rods 300 can provide better buffering and impact force dispersion effect, thereby improving the service life of the printer.

[0061] At least two support rods 300 are arranged in the height direction of the support plate 222, specifically, two support rods 300 can be arranged in the height direction of the support plate 222, or three support rods 300 or four support rods 300 can be arranged in the height direction of the support plate 222, and it can be understood that the more the number of support rods 300, the more stable the overall structure of the support bracket 220.

[0062] Please refer to Figures 2-4 In an embodiment of the present application, the mounting bracket 210 is located on the inner side of the support plate 222, which helps to reduce the overall size and space occupation of the core 200, and facilitates the miniaturization design of the entire printer.

[0063] In addition, the design of the mounting bracket 210 on the inner side of the support plate 222 helps to optimize the weight distribution of the printer. By evenly distributing the weight of the mounting bracket 210 on the two support plates 222, the structural distortion or deformation caused by weight concentration can be reduced, and the overall rigidity and durability of the printer can be improved.

[0064] In another embodiment of the present application, please refer to Figures 3-4 The mounting bracket 210 includes two side plates 211 spaced apart along the width direction of the printer, and the two side plates 211 respectively abut the inner side of the support plate 222, that is, the mounting bracket 210 can serve as an additional support structure to support the support plate 222, and the mounting bracket 210 and the support bracket 220 form a stable frame structure, which can significantly enhance the overall stability of the printer, especially when the support plate 222 bears lateral force or torque, it can more effectively resist deformation and displacement.

[0065] Based on the mounting bracket 210 for mounting the circuit board, the circuit board mounted on the mounting bracket 210 can be defined as a first circuit board 400, and the first circuit board 400 is located between the two side plates 211 and spaced apart along the width direction of the printer.

[0066] The first circuit board 400 is a core control component of the printer, responsible for coordinating and controlling the overall operation of the printer, such as controlling the label paper printing speed and printing temperature.

[0067] Due to the good stability of the support bracket 220, it can effectively resist external impact and vibration, that is, stably support the mounting bracket 210, that is, protect the first circuit board 400 from damage.

[0068] The first circuit board 400 is spaced apart from the side plate 211 by a circuit board. Even if the printer is bumped and the support plate 222 is deformed, the deformed support plate 222 is difficult to contact the first circuit board 400, that is, the support plate 222 is difficult to pressurize the first circuit board 400, thereby reducing the possibility of damage to the first circuit board 400.

[0069] On the basis of the above embodiment, in order to facilitate the pre-fixing of the first circuit board 400 to the mounting bracket 210, please combine Figure 4 The mounting bracket 210 includes a body 212 and a limiting block 213, the first circuit board 400 is installed on the body 212, the limiting block 213 is arranged on the edge of the body 212 and forms a limiting groove 213a with the body 212, and part of the first circuit board 400 is located in the limiting groove 213a.

[0070] The limiting groove 213a provides a precise positioning and fixing space for the first circuit board 400, which can play a certain positioning role in the installation process of the first circuit board 400. After positioning, the first circuit board 400 and the body 212 can be connected by screws, that is, the limiting groove 213a can improve the installation efficiency of the first circuit board 400.

[0071] By embedding part of the edge of the first circuit board 400 into the limiting groove 213a, displacement or loosening of the circuit board during use due to vibration or external force can be effectively prevented. This fixing method enhances the stability of the circuit board and ensures the reliability and stability of the printer during long-term operation.

[0072] In an embodiment of the present application, the side plate 211 is provided with a through hole, and the support rod 300 is arranged in the through hole. The design of the support rod 300 arranged in the through hole makes the installation and disassembly process of the mounting bracket 210 more simple and fast. The user only needs to align the support rod 300 with the through hole and insert it, without the need for complex fixing steps or tools. Similarly, when disassembling, the user only needs to pull out the support rod 300 from the through hole, which greatly improves the work efficiency.

[0073] The support rod 300 and the through hole can be a transition fit or a clearance fit, thereby ensuring the connection strength of the support rod 300 and the mounting bracket 210, so that the mounting bracket 210 can be stably connected to the support bracket 220.

[0074] Please refer to Figure 4 In an embodiment of the present application, a positioning groove 222a is formed on the support plate 222, and a positioning block 211a is arranged on the outer side of the side plate 211, and the positioning block 211a is inserted into the positioning groove 222a.

[0075] The cooperation of the positioning groove 222a and the positioning block 211a ensures the accurate positioning between the side plate 211 and the support plate 222. The positioning block 211a can be accurately embedded in the positioning groove 222a through the plug-in mode, ensuring that the mounting bracket 210 and the support bracket 220 are installed in place, which facilitates the quick connection of the support rod 300 with the support plate 222 after the support rod 300 is inserted into the mounting bracket 210.

[0076] The connection of the positioning groove 222a and the positioning block 211a not only provides accurate positioning, but also enhances the connection strength between the side plate 211 and the support plate 222, making the connection between the two more secure and able to withstand greater external forces and loads, improving the stability and durability of the overall structure.

[0077] In another embodiment of the present application, please refer to Figure 5 The printer further includes a second circuit board 500, and the bottom plate 221 is provided with a recess 221a, and the second circuit board 500 is at least partially accommodated in the recess 221a, and the outer peripheral contour of the second circuit board 500 does not exceed the outer peripheral contour of the bottom plate 221.

[0078] By setting the second circuit board 500, the function can be separated, for example, one circuit board can be responsible for processing input / output signals, and the other circuit board can be responsible for data processing or control functions.

[0079] By partially or completely embedding the second circuit board 500 in the recess 221a of the bottom plate 221, the design achieves efficient use of space, not only reducing the overall size of the device, but also improving the compactness of the internal space, making the overall structure more compact and efficient.

[0080] Please refer to Figures 6-8 In an embodiment of the present application, the end face of the support rod 300 abuts against the inner wall of the support plate 222, the end face of the support rod 300 is provided with a first connecting hole 300a, the support plate 222 is provided with a second connecting hole 222b, and the printer further includes at least one fastener 600, which is sequentially inserted into the second connecting hole 222b and the first connecting hole 300a, so that the support rod 300 is detachably connected to the support plate 222.

[0081] Since the end face of the support rod 300 abuts against the inner wall of the support plate 222, the fastener 600 can firmly fix the support rod 300 on the support plate 222 by inserting the second connecting hole 222b and the first connecting hole 300a, thereby enhancing the stability of the overall structure.

[0082] In an embodiment, the fastener 600 can be a screw, i.e., the first connecting hole 300a is a threaded hole, and the second connecting hole 222b can be a threaded hole or a non-threaded hole, and the connection of the support rod 300 and the support plate 222 is achieved by the screw.

[0083] It can be understood that, due to the positioning groove 222a formed on the support plate 222 and the positioning block 211a provided on the outer side of the side plate 211, when the positioning block 211a is inserted into the positioning groove 222a, the first connecting hole 300a and the second connecting hole 222b can be quickly aligned, thereby improving the installation efficiency of the support rod 300 and the support plate 222.

[0084] Please refer back to Figure 3 The mounting bracket 210 is provided with at least one placing groove 210a, and the support rod 300 is correspondingly arranged in the placing groove 210a, i.e., when a plurality of support rods 300 are arranged, a plurality of placing grooves 210a are correspondingly arranged, and each support rod 300 is arranged in the corresponding placing groove 210a, so that the support rod 300 does not excessively occupy the space outside the mounting bracket 210, thereby facilitating the miniaturization design of the entire movement 200.
