[0033] like Figure 1-6The illustrated printer consumable replacement dispenser includes a cabinet 1, a hollow turntable 3, and a printer 4. The cabinet 1 is equipped with a flip cover 2, the upper end of which is hinged to the upper end of the cabinet 1. Gas springs 21 are provided on both sides of the flip cover 2, the upper end of which is connected to the flip cover 2, and the lower end of which is connected to the cabinet 1. The hollow turntable 3 is mounted on the cabinet 1. The printer 4 is mounted on the hollow turntable 3. It should be noted that printer 4 is used to print patient reports. Cabinet 1 is also equipped with a film machine, operation screen, display screen, speaker, processor, etc. The film machine is located at the lower end of the cabinet 1. The lower end of the flip cover 2 has a film outlet, which corresponds to the film output port of the film machine. The operation screen is located at the upper end of the flip cover 2 to facilitate the operation of the self-service film retrieval machine by the patient. The display screen is located at the top of the cabinet 1 to display the patient's information so that the patient can see various information from a distance. The speaker can provide voice prompts to the patient. The sound outlet on the cabinet 1 corresponds to the speaker. The processor is used to process various information. A horizontal plate 11 is located in the middle of the cabinet 1. The film machine is located below the horizontal plate 11. The hollow turntable 3 is located on the horizontal plate 11.

[0034] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: When printer 4 needs to replace consumables, it usually needs to be opened from the back. Although the back of the paper dispenser is also equipped with a rear door, the paper dispenser is usually set against the wall. Opening the rear door requires disconnecting the power and moving the paper dispenser, which is very inconvenient. However, the paper dispenser provided by this utility model allows the user to manually open the flip cover 2 from the front when printer 4 needs to replace consumables. Then, the gas spring 21 will support the flip cover 2, so that the user does not have to support it with their hands all the time. After that, the user can manually rotate printer 4 so that the back of printer 4 is rotated to the front, and then the user can open the paper tray of printer 4 to replace consumables, which provides great convenience for staff.

[0035] Please refer to Figure 4 In one possible implementation, the hollow turntable 3 is provided with a base 31, and the printer 4 is mounted on the base 31. It should be noted that the lower part of the base 31 is annular and fixedly connected to the hollow turntable 3, while the upper part of the base 31 is rectangular and used to support the printer 4. The base 31 provides a mounting base for the printer 4, and when the printer 4 needs to be rotated, only the base 31 needs to be rotated.

[0036] Please refer to Figure 4In one possible implementation, a mounting bracket 32 ​​is provided on the base 31, and the printer 4 is disposed inside the mounting bracket 32. It should be noted that the mounting bracket 32 ​​serves to fix the printer 4, ensuring it is firmly secured to the base 31 and preventing accidental shaking. Specifically, the mounting bracket 32 ​​includes two side plates and a top plate. The two side plates are positioned opposite each other on both sides of the base 31, and the two ends of the top plate are connected to the two side plates respectively. The two side plates are located on both sides of the printer 4, and the top plate is located on the top surface of the printer 4. The upper edge and one side edge of the side plates are bent inwards, allowing the side plates to contact three surfaces of the printer 4 simultaneously, which improves the stability of the printer 4.

[0037] Please refer to Figures 4 to 6 In one possible implementation, a locking element 33 is provided on the side wall of the base 31, and a lock hole 12 is provided on the cabinet 1. The locking tongue of the locking element 33 extends into the lock hole 12. When the base 31 needs to be rotated, the locking tongue of the locking element 33 extends out of the lock hole 12. It should be noted that the locking element 33 is fixed to the side wall of the base 31 by bolts. When the locking tongue of the locking element 33 extends into the lock hole 12, it can limit the base 31 and prevent the base 31 from rotating accidentally. When the user needs to rotate the base 31, he / she only needs to manually pull out the locking tongue of the locking element 33, which is very convenient.

[0038] Please refer to Figures 4 to 6 In one possible implementation, the cabinet 1 is provided with two positioning baffles 13, and the base 31 is provided with two positioning parts 34. Initially, one positioning part 34 abuts against one positioning baffle 13. After the base 31 rotates 180°, the other positioning part 34 abuts against the other positioning baffle 13. It should be noted that the positioning part 34 is formed by bending a portion of the base 31. The two positioning baffles 13 are arranged in the same row, and the two positioning parts 34 are arranged side-by-side. Initially, the positioning part 34 on the right abuts against the positioning baffle 13 in front. After the base 31 rotates 180°, the positioning part 34 on the left abuts against the positioning baffle 13 in the rear. The positioning part 34 and the positioning baffle 13 cooperate to position and limit the base 31, ensuring that the base 31 can only rotate 180°, thereby allowing the back of the printer 4 to accurately rotate to the front, facilitating the user to open the back cover of the printer 4 to replace consumables.

[0039] Please refer to Figures 4 to 6In one possible implementation, the positioning baffle 13 is provided with a first magnetic attractor 14, and the positioning part 34 is provided with a second magnetic attractor 35. The first magnetic attractor 14 and the second magnetic attractor 35 attract each other. It should be noted that, initially, the first magnetic attractor 14 and the second magnetic attractor 35 are in a close fit. When the user needs to rotate the base 31, the locking part 33 must be opened first, and then the base 31 is rotated by hand. The first magnetic attractor 14 and the second magnetic attractor 35 will separate. After the base 31 is rotated 180°, the second magnetic attractor 35 on the other positioning part 34 attracts the first magnetic attractor 14 on the other positioning baffle 13, thereby fixing the base 31 and preventing the printer 4 from rotating accidentally when the user changes consumables, which helps to improve the efficiency of the user when changing consumables. Specifically, the first magnetic attractor 14 is a magnet, and the second magnetic attractor 35 is a galvanized iron sheet.

[0040] Please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 5 In one possible implementation, the flip cover 2 is provided with a first fulcrum 22, and the cabinet 1 is provided with a second fulcrum 15. The upper end of the gas spring 21 is rotatably connected to the first fulcrum 22, and the lower end of the gas spring 21 is rotatably connected to the second fulcrum 15. It should be noted that both ends of the gas spring 21 are provided with connecting holes, and the ends of the first fulcrum 22 and the second fulcrum 15 are provided with pin holes. The first fulcrum 22 and the second fulcrum 15 are respectively inserted into the connecting holes at both ends of the gas spring 21, and then a fixing pin is inserted into the pin hole, so that both ends of the gas spring 21 are rotatably connected to the flip cover 2 and the cabinet 1 respectively. This allows the gas spring 21 to be detachably installed on the wafer picker, facilitating subsequent inspection, maintenance, and replacement of the gas spring 21.

[0041] Please refer to Figure 1 In one possible implementation, the lower end of the cabinet 1 is provided with a cabinet door 16, which is hinged to the cabinet 1. When the cabinet door 16 is closed, the upper end of the cabinet door 16 contacts the lower end of the flip cover 2. It should be noted that when the cabinet door 16 is closed, it can limit the flip cover 2, preventing it from being opened. The flip cover 2 can only be opened after the cabinet door 16 is opened first. The cabinet door 16 is equipped with a lock, which can only be opened after the lock is opened with a key. This prevents the flip cover 2 from being accidentally opened by unauthorized personnel, effectively ensuring the safety of the film retrieval machine.

[0042] Please refer to Figure 2In one possible implementation, the lower end of the flip cover 2 is provided with a gripping part 23. It should be noted that the gripping part 23 is groove-shaped, and there are two gripping parts 23, which are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the flip cover 2. The gripping part 23 is designed to facilitate the worker to apply force. When the worker needs to open the flip cover 2, he only needs to open the cabinet door 16 first, then put his hand into the gripping part 23 to grasp the flip cover 2, and then apply upward force to easily open the flip cover 2. When the flip cover 2 is opened to a certain angle, the gas spring 21 can directly support the flip cover 2, allowing the worker to free his hands.

[0043] Please refer to Figure 3 In one possible implementation, the flip cover 2 is provided with a paper outlet, which corresponds to the paper output port of the printer 4, and a support plate 24 is provided inside the paper outlet. It should be noted that the paper outlet is located directly above the film outlet, and the support plate 24 is used to support the printed report to prevent it from slipping and to facilitate the patient's access.

[0044] The above embodiments are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of this utility model. Any non-substantial changes and substitutions made by those skilled in the art based on this utility model shall fall within the scope of protection claimed by this utility model.
