Description

An easy-to-install printer Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of printers, and specifically relates to a printer that is easy to install. Background Technology

[0002] A printer is a device that outputs input information through paper, clearly transferring the required information onto paper. With the continuous development of technology, there are now many types of printers. Among them, the most common one is the takeout receipt printer, which can quickly print out the information on takeout orders, making it convenient for merchants to record and operate based on the records. It is a very commonly used device nowadays.

[0003] Currently, takeout receipt printers are typically placed flat on a table. After the receipt is printed, the merchant needs to press down on the printer with one hand and tear off the receipt with the other. This method means the printer's position is not fixed, requiring the merchant to manually press down on the printer, which affects the overall usability of the printer. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this section is to outline some aspects of embodiments of the present invention and to briefly describe some preferred embodiments. Simplifications or omissions may be made in this section, as well as in the abstract and title of this application, to avoid obscuring the purpose of these documents; however, such simplifications or omissions should not be construed as limiting the scope of the present invention.

[0005] To address the problems mentioned in the background section, the present invention adopts the following technical solution.

[0006] An easy-to-install printer includes a printer body, an output end, and a closing plate. The printer body is equipped with an output end for printing documents. The closing plate is installed on the side of the printer body.

[0022] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features and advantages of this utility model more apparent and understandable, the specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0023] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Those skilled in the art can make similar extensions without departing from the spirit of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0024] Secondly, the term "an embodiment" or "embodiment" as used herein refers to a specific feature, structure, or characteristic that may be included in at least one implementation of the present invention. The phrase "in one embodiment" appearing in different places in this specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it a single or selective embodiment that excludes other embodiments. The present invention provides the following embodiments.

[0025] As shown in Figures 1 and 2, which are structural schematic diagrams of the printer that is easy to install in this embodiment, the printer includes a printer body 1, an output end 2 and a closing plate 3. The printer body 1 is equipped with an output end 2 for printing documents. A cutting plate for cutting documents is installed on the surface of the printer body 1 at the top opening of the output end 2. The closing plate 3 is installed on the side of the printer body 1. An adsorption mechanism 4 is installed at the bottom of the printer body 1.

[0026] The printer body 1 is connected to the network. When the connected app transmits data into the printer body 1, the printer body 1 prints out the documents. The documents are directly output through the output end 2. The operator can tear the output documents to complete the overall workflow.

[0027] As shown in Figure 3, the adsorption mechanism 4 includes a suction cup assembly 41, a connecting end 42, and a connecting seat 43. Multiple sets of connecting seats 43 are symmetrically installed at the bottom of the printer body 1. The connecting seat 43 is equipped with a connecting end 42. The end of the connecting end 42 is equipped with a suction cup assembly 41. The top of the connecting end 42 is equipped with a threaded end. The connecting seat 43 has a meshing groove inside that engages with the threaded end for threaded connection.

[0028] When in use, the threaded end is attached to the bottom of the connector 43, and then the connector 42 is rotated so that the threaded end is turned into the meshing groove, thereby locking the position of the suction cup assembly 41. Then, the printer body 1 is pressed down as a whole, so that the suction cup assembly 41 is adsorbed to the surface of the worktable, thereby locking the position of the printer body 1. When the operator tears the document, there is no need to manually press the position of the printer body 1, which ensures the stability of the printer body 1 during use.

[0029] As shown in Figure 3, the system also includes an installation mechanism 5, which includes an installation plate 51, an installation groove 52, and an installation rod 53. The installation plate 51 is symmetrically installed on both sides of the printer body 1. The installation plate 51 has an installation groove 52 inside. The installation rod 53 is slidably installed in the installation groove 52. A pressing plate is installed at the end of the installation rod 53. The radius of the pressing plate is larger than the radius of the installation groove 52 itself.

[0030] When the printer body 1 needs to be mounted on the wall, the bottom of the printer body 1 is aligned with the wall, and then the mounting rod 53 is inserted into the mounting slot 52. By impacting the mounting rod 53, the pressing plate at the end of the mounting rod 53 presses against the mounting plate 51, thereby locking the overall position of the printer body 1 and making it easy to mount the printer body 1 on the wall.

[0031] As shown in Figure 4, which is a structural schematic diagram of the closing plate 3 in this embodiment, the closing plate 3 includes a baffle plate 31, a locking block 32, and a locking assembly 33. The baffle plate 31 is rotatably installed at the side opening of the printer body 1, and the locking assembly 33 is installed on the baffle plate 31. The locking block 32 is installed on the inner wall of the printer body 1 to lock in place with the locking assembly 33.

[0032] When it is necessary to replace or repair the internal components of the printer body 1, the snap-fit ​​component 33 is used to release the snap-fit ​​component 33 from the snap-fit ​​block 32. At this time, the cover plate 31 is rotated to open the side of the printer body 1 as a whole, which makes it easy for the operator to install the components inside the printer body 1 and also makes it easy to replace the printing paper in the printer body 1.

[0033] As shown in Figure 5, which is a structural schematic diagram of the snap-fit ​​assembly 33 in this embodiment, the snap-fit ​​assembly 33 includes a movable plate 331, a snap-fit ​​block 332, and a spring assembly 333. The movable plate 331 is slidably mounted on the baffle plate 31, the snap-fit ​​block 332 is mounted on the top of the movable plate 331, and the spring assembly 333 is mounted on the side of the movable plate 331. The end of the spring assembly 333 is connected to the side wall of the baffle plate 31.

[0034] When it is necessary to open the side of the printer body 1, the movable plate 331 is pressed. At this time, the movable plate 331 slides within the baffle plate 31. As the position of the movable plate 331 moves, the locking block 332 moves synchronously with the movable plate 331, releasing the locking block 332 from the locking block 32, which facilitates the subsequent adjustment of the angle and position of the baffle plate 31. When the movable plate 331 moves, the spring assembly 333 enters the storage state, so that when the operator no longer presses the movable plate 331, the movable plate 331 will quickly return to its original position under the elastic force of the spring assembly 333.

[0035] The above description, in conjunction with specific embodiments, provides a further detailed explanation of the present utility model. It should not be construed that the specific implementation of the present utility model is limited to these descriptions. For those skilled in the art, several simple deductions or substitutions can be made without departing from the concept of the present utility model, and all such deductions or substitutions should be considered to fall within the scope of protection defined by the claims submitted by the present utility model.
