Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of printer technology, and in particular relates to a simple rear-top paper feed limiting device. Background Technology
[0002] A portable thermal printer is a portable device based on thermal printing technology. It generates text, images, or barcodes on thermal paper by heating the print head. It requires no ink or ribbon, has low consumable costs, and is easy to maintain. It is widely used in logistics, retail, medical, catering and other scenarios.
[0003] Currently, most portable thermal printers on the market use a rear-insertion paper feeding method. This method makes it difficult to control the tilt of the printed paper. During the printing process, the A4 thermal paper is easily misaligned, causing the edges of the paper to tear. In addition, it does not have an upper paper feed and left and right adjustable limit devices, making it impossible to freely adjust the sheet size, which brings great inconvenience to the printing work.
[0004] To address this issue, we provide a simple rear-top paper feed limiting device to solve the problems mentioned above. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a simple rear upper paper feed limiting device, which solves the problem of inconvenience in the use of existing thermal portable printers by cooperating with the left limiting block, the right limiting block and the upper outer cover.
[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution.
[0007] This utility model is a simple rear-top paper feed limiting device, including a lower outer cover, an upper inner cover on the top of the lower outer cover, an opening rotating shaft movably connected to both rear ends of the upper inner cover, the other end of the opening rotating shaft being movably connected to the inner wall of the lower outer cover, a stop block fixedly connected to both front ends of the upper inner cover by bolts, an upper outer cover on the top of the upper inner cover, a left limiting block and a right limiting block slidably connected to both sides of the top of the upper outer cover, and the upper outer cover and the lower outer cover being fixedly connected by bolts.
[0008] The present invention is further configured such that rubber pads are glued to both sides of the bottom of the lower outer cover by adhesive, and the bottom of the rubber pads is provided with anti-slip texture. The rubber pads and anti-slip texture can increase the friction between the device and the placement surface, prevent the device from shifting due to paper pulling during the paper feeding process, and ensure the stability and accuracy of paper feeding.
[0009] The present invention is further configured such that the inner cavity of the upper inner cover is provided with a shaft hole one for installing the opening rotation shaft, and both sides of the inner cavity of the lower outer cover are provided with shaft holes two for installing the opening rotation shaft. The shaft holes one and two provided in the upper inner cover and the lower outer cover respectively provide precise installation positioning for the opening rotation shaft, ensuring the smoothness and stability of the upper inner cover when rotating around the shaft, and avoiding shaking or jamming.
[0010] The present invention is further configured such that a fastening groove is provided at the front end of both sides of the upper inner cover, and the stop block is fitted into the inner cavity of the fastening groove. The fitting design of the fastening groove of the upper inner cover and the stop block makes the stop block installed firmly and accurately positioned, enhances the limiting effect of the stop block on the paper, and facilitates the disassembly and replacement of the stop block.
[0011] The present invention is further configured such that the top of the upper inner cover is provided with an insert-type through groove for the left and right limiting blocks to move. The insert-type through groove provides space for the movement of the left and right limiting blocks, ensuring that the limiting blocks are not interfered with during the adjustment process and can make close contact with the paper to achieve effective limiting.
[0012] The present invention is further configured such that a movable groove is provided on the top of the upper outer cover, the left limiting block and the right limiting block are engaged in the inner cavity of the movable groove, and the inner walls of the left limiting block and the right limiting block are provided with anti-slip texture.
[0013] The present invention is further configured such that the paper feed slot inclination angle of the inner cavity of the left limiting block and the right limiting block is designed to be 52°.
[0014] The present invention has the following beneficial effects.
[0015] 1. This utility model adopts a rear-top insertion self-feeding paper feeding system, which realizes automatic paper feeding through negative pressure adsorption technology. Compared with the traditional rear-plug paper feeding system, the paper jam rate is reduced by more than 60%, and the mechanical transmission parts are reduced by 40%. It can still feed paper stably under the condition of tilting 52°, and is particularly suitable for non-horizontal operation in mobile scenarios.
[0016] 2. This utility model is based on a dual-sided adjustable limit device, which can be adjusted to fit the size of A5, B5 and A4 paper, improving compatibility by 3 times compared with the traditional structure. At the same time, the paper feed tilt angle is designed with a 52° golden operating angle, combined with the anti-slip textured guide groove, which increases the single paper loading success rate from 73% in the traditional design to 98%. The limit device adopts a 3-level adjustment to replace the traditional segmented structure, eliminating 5% of invalid margin loss, so that the printing area utilization rate reaches more than 92%.

[0027] Specifically: The lower outer cover 1 is injection molded from high-strength engineering plastic, and has an overall rectangular plate structure. The surface is frosted to enhance friction and wear resistance. Its top edge has an inwardly recessed annular groove for installation with the upper inner cover 2. The upper inner cover 2 is also made of engineering plastic and its shape matches the top of the lower outer cover 1. The two rear ends of both sides are symmetrically provided with mounting positions for the opening rotating shaft 3. The opening rotating shaft 3 is made of stainless steel and has smooth cylindrical ends. It is inserted into the shaft hole one of the upper inner cover 2 and the shaft hole two of the lower outer cover 1, respectively. The movable connection is achieved through interference fit, so that the upper inner cover 2 can be flipped upward to open around the opening rotating shaft 3.
[0028] Example 2
[0029] Please see Figure 1-5 Based on Embodiment 1, rubber pads are glued to both sides of the bottom of the lower outer cover 1 with adhesive. The bottom of the rubber pads is provided with anti-slip texture. The inner cavity of the upper inner cover 2 has a shaft hole 1 for installing the cover opening rotation shaft 3. The inner cavities of the lower outer cover 1 have shaft holes 2 for installing the cover opening rotation shaft 3 on both sides. The front ends of both sides of the upper inner cover 2 are provided with fastening grooves. The stop block 4 is fitted into the inner cavity of the fastening groove. The top of the upper inner cover 2 is provided with an insert-type through groove for the left limiting block 6 and the right limiting block 7 to move.
