Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of printers, and in particular to a printer that provides stable printing. Background Technology
[0002] A printer is a tool that directly transfers input data, text, and other information onto paper. With the continuous development of technology, there are now many types of printers, among which the most common type is the thermal printer. It utilizes the heating and cooperation of thermal paper and the printing end. The surface of the heated part of the thermal paper changes and forms patterns. By using the accumulation of patterns, the required information is directly printed onto the thermal paper, achieving rapid printing of information.
[0003] However, in existing thermal printers, the size of the paper roll changes during use, and the paper tape vibrates when entering the printer, which makes it impossible to ensure that the paper tape entering the printer is flat, thus affecting the printing effect. At the same time, when printing on paper rolls of different materials, it is inconvenient to adjust the distance between the printer and the paper roll. To solve the above problems, a printer with stable printing is proposed. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to solve the problems of vibration in existing paper tapes affecting the printing effect of printers and the inconvenience of adjusting the distance between the printer and the paper roll.

[0028] Example 1
[0029] This utility model provides a printer for stable printing, including a printer body 1 and a support frame 2 on which it is mounted. The support frame 2 is slidably mounted on a base frame 3. The base frame 3 is designed in a stepped shape, consisting of a higher horizontal side and a lower horizontal side connected by a vertical side. A paper tray support 4 is fixedly mounted on the higher horizontal side. A paper feed shaft 5 is mounted on the paper tray support 4 for carrying a paper roll 6. The through hole in the middle of the paper roll 6 is fitted onto the paper feed shaft 5 and can rotate freely.
[0030] The printer body 1 is fixedly mounted on the support frame 2 by bolts. The support frame 2 is placed on the lower horizontal side of the base frame 3. The support frame 2 has an insert block on the side near the vertical side of the base frame 3. The vertical side of the base frame 3 has a long strip-shaped adjustment groove 17. A screw passes through the adjustment groove 17 and the through hole on the insert block in sequence and is tightened with a nut. By loosening the nut, the entire support frame 2 can slide back and forth on the base frame 3 to adjust the relative distance between the printer body 1 and the paper roll 6. After the adjustment is in place, the nut is tightened to fix it.
[0031] The printer body 1 is hinged to a top cover 7 via a bearing. On the side of the top cover 7 near the paper roll 6, an L-shaped opening wrench 8 is installed via a wrench shaft 9. A wrench spring 10 is fitted on the wrench shaft 9 to provide a continuous downward pressure for the opening wrench 8. The long side end of the opening wrench 8 has a boss for mounting a roller 12 via a roller shaft 11. The roller 12 faces directly downward. The paper strip of the paper roll 6 passes under the roller 12 and then extends under the top cover 7. Driven by the rubber roller 14, it enters the printer body 1 and is printed by the thermal print head module.
[0032] The short side of the cover opening wrench 8 rotates around the wrench shaft 9 and contacts the latch shaft 13. The short side of the cover opening wrench 8 supports the latch shaft 13 and moves it in the moving groove, so that the latch shaft 13 disengages from the latch block on the printer body 1 that cooperates with the latch shaft 13. This makes the top cover 7 have no other connection with the printer body 1, and the top cover 7 can be directly lifted for convenient operation.
[0033] Working principle:
[0034] During printing, a suitable paper roll 6 is placed on the paper tray bracket 4 via the paper threading shaft 5. The position of the support bracket 2 on the base frame 3 is adjusted and fixed in the appropriate position via the insert block 16 and the adjustment groove 17, so that the paper roll 6 and the printer body 1 are adjusted to the appropriate position. The cover opening lever 8 is lifted upwards, and the short side of the cover opening lever 8 rotates around the lever shaft 9 and contacts the latch shaft 13. The short side of the cover opening lever 8 supports the latch shaft 13 and moves it in the moving groove. The two ends of the latch shaft 13 move out of the semi-enclosed arc-shaped receiving space of the latch block, so that the top cover 7 has no other connection with the printer body 1 and can be directly lifted. After the top cover 7 is lifted, the latch shaft 13 returns to its original position under the action of gravity in the moving groove. The paper tape of the paper roll 6 is placed into the rubber roller 14 of the printer body 1. The top cover 7 is closed, and the roller 12 of the cover opening lever 8 contacts the paper roll 6. The rubber roller 14 rotates, driving the paper tape forward and through the thermal head mold inside the printer body 1. During printing, if the paper roll 6 vibrates or is unevenly fed during the paper feeding process, the roller 12 at the front end of the cover opening lever 8 remains in contact with the paper, and the lever spring 10 provides a damping effect to the cover opening lever 8, ensuring that the paper entering the printer body 1 is flat and ensuring stable print quality. After printing, the paper enters the three-proof nozzle module 15. If the user accidentally touches or blocks the paper outlet with their hand, the paper will arch and trigger the sensor of the printer body 1, thus temporarily stopping printing. When the user releases their hand and the paper outlet is no longer blocked, the printer will print the unfinished document content. When the user pulls the paper with their hand, the paper will press down and trigger the sensor of the printer body 1, thus temporarily stopping printing. When the user releases their hand and the paper is no longer pulled, the printer will print the unfinished document content. If the user does not remove the document, the printer will temporarily stop printing the next document to be printed. When the user removes the document, the printer will print the unfinished document content.
[0035] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. The various components mentioned in this utility model are common technologies in the existing field. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of this utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claims. The scope of protection of this utility model is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
