Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of printer technology, and in particular to a novel printer with a display panel and a thermal printer and device. Background Technology

[0002] Existing thermal printers typically feature a display screen to visually present the device's status and controls. This is achieved by creating mounting holes or structural slots on the casing surface to house the display panel, and then installing a transparent protective plate for protection. A certain amount of space is usually left between the printer's display panel and the transparent protective plate to cushion the impact and reduce the risk of the display panel being crushed.

[0003] When printer design requirements or customer needs necessitate mounting the display panel in a corner of the printer, the space available for this installation, especially perpendicular to the display panel, is limited. The existing mounting structure for the display panel and transparent protective plate in these locations presents challenges in installation. Utility Model Content

For example, "connection" can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; it can be a connection within two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0025] This utility model provides a novel printer with a display panel and a thermal printer, and an apparatus thereof. The novel printer with a display panel includes:

[0026] The printer housing 10 has a corner 11 and a mounting hole 16 at the corner 11;

[0027] A transparent plate 12 is disposed within the mounting hole 16;

[0028] Display panel 13, the display surface of which is attached to the surface of the transparent plate 12.

[0029] In specific implementation, such as Figures 1-5 As shown, the new printer with a display panel includes:

[0030] The printer housing 10 has a corner 11 with an angle greater than 90° and less than 179°. The angle can be set according to actual needs, which CC will not elaborate on. The corner 11 has a mounting hole 16.

[0031] A transparent plate 12 is disposed within the mounting hole 16, and the transparent plate 12 is made of an existing transparent protective plate.

[0032] The display panel 13 has its display surface attached to the surface of the transparent plate 12, thereby minimizing the space occupied in the direction perpendicular to the display surface of the display panel 13. This allows the display panel 13 and the transparent plate 12 to be installed in a corner position of a printer with limited internal space. In this embodiment, the display panel 13 can be bonded to the transparent plate 12, or it can be fixed inside or connected to the printer housing 10 through other structures such as snap-fit ​​or bolt connection, which will not be elaborated here.

[0033] The novel printer with a display panel provided in this embodiment of the utility model reduces the installation space requirements of the display panel and transparent panel by directly attaching and installing the display panel and transparent panel, thus achieving the purpose of setting the display panel and transparent panel at the corner position of the printer.

[0034] Furthermore, a support step 161 is provided inside the mounting hole 16; the edge of the transparent plate 12 is glued to the support step 161.

[0035] In specific implementation, such as Figure 2 As shown, the inner edge of the mounting hole 16 is provided with a protruding support step 161, and the edge of the transparent plate 12 is glued to the support step 161, thereby realizing the installation and fixation of the transparent plate 12.

[0036] Furthermore, the surface of the display panel 13 is bonded to the surface of the transparent plate 12 by adhesive.

[0037] In specific implementation, the surface of the display panel 13, or part of it, is glued to the surface of the transparent plate 12. In this structure, the transparent plate 12 can be directly connected to the display panel 13, achieving fixation through this connection. This reduces the reliance on the aforementioned support steps 161 during installation. When a larger display panel needs to be installed, this connection structure and the reduction of the support steps 161 provide a larger installation area for the display panel 13, thus solving the problem of limited effective display area due to corner space constraints. In this embodiment, the display panel 13 can be glued to the transparent plate 12 using existing transparent adhesive materials, which will not be elaborated further here.

[0038] Furthermore, the transparent plate 12 and the display panel 13 are bonded together to form an adhesive; the adhesive is installed in the mounting hole 16.

[0039] In practice, the transparent plate 12 and the display panel 13 are bonded together to form an adhesive body; the adhesive body is installed inside the mounting hole 16. This structure makes installation more convenient and faster.

[0040] Furthermore, the printer housing 10 at the upper end of the corner 11 is provided with a button module 14.

[0041] In specific implementation, such as Figure 1 As shown, the printer housing 10 at the upper end of the corner 11 is provided with a button module 14. The button module 14 is connected to the existing circuit board inside the printer to realize operation control, function selection, information query, etc. The button module 14 is located on the upper surface of the printer adjacent to the display panel 13 for easy operation.

[0042] Furthermore, the printer housing 10 at the lower end of the corner 11 is provided with a scanning module 15.
