Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of printer technology, and in particular to a hinge structure and a printer thereof. Background Technology

[0002] The function of a hinge structure is to enable relative rotation or oscillation between two objects, while providing a stable connection and support.

[0003] When two objects are connected by a hinge structure, it is usually sufficient to simply fix both sides of the hinge with bolts. However, if one of the objects needs to be disassembled for maintenance, repeated adjustments must be made to ensure precise alignment with the original installation position during reinstallation to avoid positional deviations during use, thus increasing installation time. Therefore, this solution proposes a hinge structure and its printer to address the aforementioned problems. Utility Model Content

[0026] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0027] This utility model provides:

[0028] Example 1, as Figure 1-4 The hinge structure shown includes:

[0029] First limiting block 1, with a first mounting component 7 disposed on the top of the first limiting block 1;

[0030] Rotating block 2 is disposed on one side of the first limiting block 1, and a second mounting component 8 is disposed at the bottom of rotating block 2;

[0031] The second limiting block 3 is disposed on one side of the rotating block 2, and the top of the second limiting block 3 is provided with a third mounting component 9;

[0032] Limiting component 4 is disposed at the connection between rotating block 2 and first limiting block 1 and second limiting block 3. Limiting component 4 is used to connect first limiting block 1, rotating block 2 and second limiting block 3.

[0033] The movable component 5 is located on the side opposite to the first limiting block 1 and the second limiting block 3.

[0034] Specifically, the limiting component 4 includes a limiting groove 402 opened on the opposite side of the first limiting block 1 and the second limiting block 3, and limiting posts 401 are symmetrically fixedly connected to both sides of the rotating block 2, with the limiting posts 401 inserted into the inside of the limiting groove 402.

[0035] It should be noted that two limiting posts 401 are provided, respectively located on the side of the rotating block 2 near the first limiting block 1 and the second limiting block 3. Limiting grooves 402 are provided on the side of the first limiting block 1 and the second limiting block 3 near the rotating block 2. Both the limiting post 401 and the limiting groove 402 are cylindrical, allowing the limiting post 401 to rotate inside the limiting groove 402. When the position of the rotating block 2 needs to be fixed, the second limiting block 3 and the rotating block 2 are first fixed in the required positions. Then, the rotating block 2 is moved to the side of the second limiting block 3, and one of the limiting posts 401 is inserted into the limiting groove 402 on the second limiting block 3. Then, the position of the first limiting block 1 is moved so that the limiting groove 402 on the first limiting block 1 is fitted onto the other limiting post 401. Finally, the first limiting block 1 is fixed in the required position. The position of the rotating block 2 is restricted by the fixed positions of the first limiting block 1 and the second limiting block 3, allowing the rotating block 2 to rotate between the two limiting blocks.

[0036] Specifically, the first mounting component 7 includes a first mounting plate 702 fixedly connected to the top of the first limiting block 1, and a first through hole 701 is provided in the middle of the first mounting plate 702.

[0037] It should be noted that the first mounting plate 702 and the first limiting block 1 are integrally manufactured, and the first through hole 701 is provided for screws to pass through the first mounting plate 702, so that the first mounting plate 702 can be fixed in the required position by screws.

[0038] Specifically, the second mounting component 8 includes a second mounting plate 802 fixedly connected to the bottom of the rotating block 2, and a plurality of second through holes 801 are provided on one side of the second mounting plate 802.

[0039] It should be noted that the second mounting plate 802 and the rotating block 2 are integrally manufactured. The second through hole 801 is provided for screws to pass through the second mounting plate 802, and the second mounting plate 802 is fixed in the required position by the screws.

[0040] Specifically, the third mounting component 9 includes a third mounting plate 902 fixedly connected to the top of the second limiting block 3, and a third through hole 901 is provided in the middle of the third mounting plate 902.

[0041] It should be noted that the third mounting plate 902 and the second limiting block 3 are integrally manufactured. The third through hole 901 is used for screws to pass through the third mounting plate 902, and the third mounting plate 902 is fixed in the required position by the screws.

[0042] Specifically, the movable component 5 includes a movable block 501 fixedly connected to one side of the first mounting plate 702, and a plurality of fixed blocks 502 fixedly connected to one side of the third mounting plate 902. A limiting member 6 is provided at the connection between the movable block 501 and the fixed blocks 502.

[0043] Specifically, the limiting component 6 includes sliders 603 symmetrically fixedly connected to the front and back of the moving block 501. A groove 601 is provided on the opposite side of the multiple fixed blocks 502. The sliders 603 are inserted into the inside of the groove 601. A rubber pad 602 is fixedly connected to the side of the sliders 603 away from the moving block 501.

[0044] It should be noted that the groove 601 is adapted to the slider 603. Two fixing blocks 502 are provided, one on the front and one on the back of the moving block 501. The moving block 501 is clamped by the two fixing blocks 502, and the movement direction of the moving block 501 is restricted by the slider 603. When the moving block 501 moves, it drives the slider 603 to move inside the groove 601. When the slider 603 moves to fit against the inner wall of one side of the groove 601, it is blocked by the groove 601 and cannot move. This design restricts the movement distance of the slider 603. The slider 603, which restricts the movement distance, limits the movement distance of the moving block 501 and the first mounting plate 702.

[0045] Example 2, as Figure 5 The printer shown includes the hinge structure described above, including a movable main beam 10, which is fixedly connected to the top of a third mounting plate 902. A printing module 11 is provided at the bottom of the movable main beam 10, and the printing module 11 is fixedly connected to the back of a second mounting plate 802.

[0046] It should be noted that the movable main beam 10 is an existing movable module, which is used to move the printing module 11 at its output end during use. During use, the first limiting block 1 and the second limiting block 3 are connected to the movable main beam 10, and the rotating block 2 is connected to the printing module 11. When the printing module 11 needs to be disassembled, one of the limiting blocks is removed from the movable main beam 10, and the movable component 5 is used to separate one of the limiting blocks from the rotating block 2, so that the rotating block 2 can be moved out between the two limiting blocks. At this time, the position of the other limiting block is still fixed, so there is no need to reposition it when reinstalling the printing module 11.

[0047] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
