[0002] A label printer is a device used to print labels; it typically consists of a printhead, printer housing, control panel, and connection interfaces. Label printers use thermal or thermal transfer technology to print text, images, or barcodes onto labels. They can print labels of various sizes and materials, such as paper and plastic labels. Label printers are widely used in logistics, retail, and manufacturing industries for printing product labels, price tags, and barcode labels; they feature high printing speed, high print quality, and ease of operation, improving work efficiency and accuracy.

[0024] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention.

[0025] Please see Figure 1-4 As shown, this utility model is an electrostatic removal component for printer ribbons, including a base body 1 and an upper cover body 2 rotatably connected to the upper end of the base body 1, and further including:

[0026] The support plate 6 is set on the inner side of the upper cover 2, and the outer side of the support plate 6 is connected to the conductive shaft 5;

[0027] A switch 3 is provided on the outer side of the locking clip 4, and the switch 3 extends through the upper end face of the upper cover 2. The switch 3 allows the operator to easily adjust the angle of the locking clip 4. When the locking clip 4 is adjusted, the conductive shaft 5 drives the locking clip 8 to rotate, thereby opening the upper cover 2 for subsequent adjustments. The locking mechanism is located on the left and right sides of the conductive shaft 5 to tightly fit the conductive shaft 5 with the paper. The locking mechanism includes the locking clip 4 and the limiting slide 7. Locking clip 2 8 and limiting groove 7 are opened at both ends of the conductive shaft 5. Locking clip 2 8 is slidably engaged with one side of the conductive shaft 5. Locking clip 1 4 is connected to the end of the conductive shaft 5 away from locking clip 2 8. Locking clip 1 4 and locking clip 2 8 are located inside the upper cover 2. The limiting groove 7 can limit the position of locking clip 1 4 and locking clip 2 8, which can prevent locking clip 1 4 and locking clip 2 8 from shifting, thereby ensuring the connection effect between the base body 1 and the upper cover 2.

[0028] The upper cover 2 has connecting slots 201 on both the left and right sides, and locking clip 4 and locking clip 8 pass through the connecting slots 201. The upper surface of the base 1 has symmetrical locking slots 101. The locking slots 101 correspond to the connecting slots 201, and locking clip 4 and locking clip 8 engage with the grooves inside the locking slots 101. The connecting slots 201 can limit locking clip 4 and locking clip 8, which can prevent the adjustment range of locking clip 4 and locking clip 8 from being too large and affecting subsequent processing.

[0029] A conductive mechanism, located at one end of the conductive shaft 5, is used to discharge static electricity adsorbed on the conductive shaft 5. The conductive mechanism includes a conductive plate 9, a bent latch 10, and a mounting hole 11. The conductive plate 9 is located at the end of the conductive shaft 5 near the locking clip 4. The bent latch 10 is located at the upper end of the conductive plate 9 and is connected to the conductive shaft 5. The mounting hole 11 is located at the lower end of the conductive plate 9. The conductive shaft 5 is made of conductive metal, and the locking clips 4 and 8 at both ends of the conductive shaft 5 can pass through the locking slots 10. 1. The conductive shaft 5 is respectively snapped into the locking slot 101 opened on the upper surface of the base body 1. The inner side of the mounting hole 11 is bound with a wire and passes through one side of the base body 1 to connect with the grounding wire. The conductive shaft 5 is in contact with the conductive plate 9 on the other side. The mounting hole 11 at the lower end of the conductive plate 9 can be connected to the grounding wire through the wire. The carbon ribbon is attached to the outside of the conductive shaft 5 and can be discharged through the conductive plate 9. At the same time, the surface of the conductive shaft 5 is also provided with an electrostatic brush, which can help improve the printing quality of the print head and extend the service life of the printer.

[0030] When using a label printer, the ribbon inside the printer generates a lot of static electricity after use. When using a label printer equipped with a ribbon static removal component, the ribbon can bypass the outside of the base 1. The static electricity generated during printing is conducted to the conductive plate 9 through the conductive shaft 5. The grounded conductive plate 9 releases the static electricity, which not only improves the print quality of the print head but also prevents damage to the printer circuitry and extends the printer's lifespan. As the conductive shaft 5 releases the static electricity generated during printer operation through the conductive plate 9, the conductive shaft 5 plays a role in discharging static electricity. An electrostatic brush is provided on the outside of the conductive shaft 5 to ensure full contact between the cover opening shaft and the printing paper, thereby discharging static electricity from the ribbon and the printing paper.

[0031] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and do not limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or improvements made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or to some of the technical features, shall fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.
