Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of printer technology, and in particular to a flip-up scanner mechanism based on an industrial printer. Background Technology
[0002] In existing technology, printers are one of the output devices of computers, used to print computer-processed results onto relevant media. Three indicators are used to measure the quality of a printer: print resolution, print speed, and noise level. There are many types of printers. Based on whether the printing element strikes the paper, they are divided into impact printers and non-impact printers. Based on the structure of the printed characters, they are divided into full-character printers and dot-matrix character printers. Based on how a line of text is formed on the paper, they are divided into serial printers and line printers. Based on the technology used, they are divided into column printers, ball printers, inkjet printers, thermal printers, laser printers, electrostatic printers, magnetic printers, and LED printers, etc. In existing technology, the scanner of a printer is often manually controlled by the user, which is inconvenient and detrimental to use.
[0003] Therefore, this application proposes a flip-up scanner mechanism based on an industrial printer to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing printer scanners, which are often manually controlled and flipped by the user, making them inconvenient to use. Therefore, this invention proposes a flip-up scanner mechanism based on an industrial printer.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0006] A flip-up scanner mechanism based on an industrial printer, comprising a printer and a scanner;
[0007] A control box, which is fixedly connected to the front side of the printer;
[0008] A hollow partition is fixedly connected inside the control box, and a motor is fixedly connected to the bottom of the partition. A first gear is fixedly connected to the bottom of the motor output shaft.
[0009] The second gear is rotatably connected to the rear inner wall of the control box, and the rear side of the second gear passes through the control box and is fixedly connected to the scanner.
[0010] The control mechanism includes a first rack, a guide plate, a rotating plate, a sliding plate, a trapezoidal plate, and a second rack. The first rack is slidably connected to the rear inner wall of the control box and meshes with a first gear. The guide plate is slidably connected to the bottom inner wall of the control box, and its top is fixedly connected to the bottom of the first rack. The rotating plate is rotatably connected to the front side of the guide plate. The sliding plate is slidably connected to the right inner wall of the control box, and its front is rotatably connected to the right side of the rotating plate. The trapezoidal plate is slidably connected to the top inner wall of the control box. The second rack is fixedly connected to the rear side of the trapezoidal plate and meshes with a second gear.
[0011] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the control box has a through hole on its left side.
[0012] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the partition is provided with an auxiliary hole, and the sliding plate passes through the auxiliary hole and is slidably connected to the inner wall of the auxiliary hole.
[0013] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, a rotating wheel is rotatably connected to the top of the sliding plate, and the rotating wheel makes active contact with the inclined surface of the trapezoidal plate.
[0014] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the top of the partition is provided with a mating groove, the second rack is slidably connected to the inner wall of the mating groove, and the left side of the second rack has a through hole.

[0016] Beneficial effects:
[0017] 1. By controlling the output shaft of the motor to rotate, the motor can synchronously control the first gear to rotate. When the first gear rotates, it can synchronously control the first rack to move to the right. At the same time, the movement of the first rack can drive the guide plate to move. When the guide plate moves, it can drag the rotating plate to move.
[0018] 2. As the rotating plate moves, it can push the sliding plate to rise. At this time, as the sliding plate moves, it can drive the rotating wheel to move. When the rotating wheel moves, it can contact the inclined surface of the trapezoidal plate, thereby controlling the trapezoidal plate to move to the left.
[0019] 3. When the trapezoidal plate moves, it can synchronously control the second rack to move. At this time, the movement of the second rack can synchronously control the rotation of the second gear. As the second gear rotates, it can control the scanner to flip, thus facilitating control.

[0033] With the above structure: by setting up partition 3, partition 3 serves to support motor 4; by setting up second gear 13, the rotation of second gear 13 can synchronously control scanner 14 to automatically flip.
[0034] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the control box 2 is provided with a through hole on the left side. By providing the through hole, the through hole can assist the movement of the second rack 12.
[0035] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the partition 3 is provided with an auxiliary hole, and the sliding plate 9 passes through the auxiliary hole and is slidably connected to the inner wall of the auxiliary hole.
