Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of small printers, specifically to a cover opening structure for a small label printer. Background Technology

[0002] Label printers are devices that use thermal or thermal transfer methods to print barcodes, QR codes, graphics, text, and other image information on labels. They are widely used in POS terminal systems, banking systems, medical instruments, and other fields.

[0003] A common label printer includes a housing, a thermal printhead, a core unit within the housing, and a paper tray cover. Labels are rolled up and placed in the paper tray. The paper tray cover is rotatably mounted on the housing, and a locking block is fixed to the paper tray cover. When the paper tray cover is closed on the paper tray, the locking block presses against the housing, securing the paper tray cover to the paper tray. To open the cover, pinch both sides of the paper tray cover and pull it up to detach it from the paper tray.

[0004] Regarding the aforementioned technical conditions, there is a drawback: when hands are moist or sweaty, the paper tray cover is prone to slipping when pinched to open, making it inconvenient to open the paper tray cover.

[0005] Based on this, the present invention designs a cover opening structure for a small label printer to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a cover opening structure for a small label printer, including a printer housing and a protective cover disposed on the housing. A support plate is fixedly disposed in the housing, a rotating plate is rotatably disposed on the support plate, and an abutment block is fixedly disposed on the rotating plate. A contact block is fixedly disposed on the protective cover. When the protective cover is closed, the abutment block abuts against the contact block. A pressing port is provided on the housing, and a moving block is inserted into the pressing port. The lower side of the moving block abuts against the rotating plate. The support plate is located between the moving block and the abutment block. When the moving block moves downward, the abutment block rotates upward.

[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, when it is necessary to open the protective cover, the moving block is pressed down, the rotating plate rotates, and the contact block is tilted upward to lift the protective cover, thus eliminating the need for manual grasping of the protective cover and achieving the effect of conveniently opening the protective cover.

[0008] Preferably, two rotating plates are provided, and a connecting rod is fixedly connected between the two rotating plates. The two rotating plates are located on both sides of the printer.

[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, when the protective cover is opened, the two abutting blocks simultaneously abut against the contact block, pushing the protective cover open, which improves stability and allows the protective cover to be opened more fully.

[0010] Preferably, the movable block has a vertically formed insertion interface, into which a plug block is inserted, and a contact plate is fixedly disposed on the plug block.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, when it is necessary to clean the moving block and contact plate, the plug-in block can be pulled out from the plug-in interface, thus achieving the effect of convenient cleaning.

[0012] Preferably, a mounting plate is fixedly provided on the outer shell, and when the protective cover is closed, the lower surface of the rotating plate near the contact block contacts the mounting plate.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, the mounting plate supports the rotating plate, preventing it from rotating and making noise when the protective cover is closed.

[0014] Preferably, the outer casing has a mating groove, and the contact plate is located in the mating groove.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, the contact plate is located in the mating groove, which improves the overall aesthetics of the housing.

[0016] Preferably, the contact plate is provided with anti-slip grooves.

[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, the anti-slip groove increases hand friction and reduces hand slippage when pressing.

[0018] Preferably, the outer shell has a guide groove, and the movable block is fixedly provided with a guide block, which is located in the guide groove.

[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, the guide block is located in the guide groove, which stabilizes the movement of the moving block and reduces the movement of the moving block.

[0020] In summary, this application has the following beneficial technical effects: when it is necessary to open the protective cover, pressing down the moving block causes the rotating plate to rotate, causing the contact block to tilt upwards and lift the protective cover, eliminating the need for manual grasping of the protective cover and achieving the effect of conveniently opening the protective cover.

Detailed Implementation

[0031] 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 skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0032] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-7 This application will be described in further detail.

[0033] Reference Figures 1-7 A cover structure for a small label printer includes a printer housing 1 and a protective cover 2 disposed on the housing 1. The protective cover 2 is rotatably disposed on a paper tray 3 via a hinge shaft 20. The protective cover 2 closes onto the opening of the paper tray 3. A silicone abutment layer is disposed on the opening of the paper tray 3, which abuts against the protective cover 2 when the protective cover 2 is closed, thereby fixing the protective cover 2. The protective cover 2 is used to protect the label paper inside the paper tray 3.

[0034] Reference Figures 1-7 A support plate 4 is fixedly installed in the outer shell 1, and a rotating plate 5 is rotatably installed on the support plate 4. A contact block 6 is fixedly installed on one end of the rotating plate 5 near the center of the support plate 4. The contact block 6 is integrally formed with the rotating plate 5. A contact block 7 is fixedly installed on the protective cover 2. A contact opening 8 is provided on the outer shell 1. A pressing opening 9 is provided on the outer shell 1. A moving block 10 is inserted into the pressing opening 9. A guide groove 11 is provided on the outer shell 1. The guide groove 11 communicates with the pressing opening 9. A guide block 12 is fixedly installed on the moving block 10. The guide block 12 is located in the guide groove 11. When moving up and down, the guide block 12 can stabilize the movement of the moving block 10 while preventing the moving block 10 from falling off upward.

[0035] Reference Figures 1-7 The lower side of the movable block 10 abuts against the end of the rotating plate 5 away from the abutting block 6. The support plate 4 is located between the movable block 10 and the abutting block 6. When it is necessary to open the protective cover 2, the movable block 10 is pressed down, and the movable block 10 abuts against the rotating plate 5 downward, causing the rotating plate 5 to rotate and causing the abutting block 6 at the other end to tilt upward, thus lifting the protective cover 2. It is not necessary to manually grasp the protective cover 2 to open it, achieving the effect of conveniently opening the protective cover 2.

[0036] When the protective cover 2 is closed, the contact block 7 enters the contact port 8 and abuts against the contact block 6. When the contact block 6 is pressed down, the rotating plate 5 rotates. The end of the rotating plate 5 near the moving block 10 tilts upward, lifting the moving block 10 and allowing it to return to its original position. There are two rotating plates 5, and a connecting rod 13 is fixedly connected between them. The two rotating plates 5 are located on both sides of the printer. The contact blocks 6 on the two rotating plates 5 are close to the outer edge of the protective cover 2. When one of the rotating plates 5 rotates, it drives the other rotating plate 5 to rotate together through the connecting rod 13. When the protective cover 2 is opened, the two rotating plates 5 rotate simultaneously, allowing the two contact blocks 6 to lift the protective cover 2 at the same time. This stabilizes the rotation of the rotating plates 5 while preventing only one side of the protective cover 2 from being lifted, thus allowing the cover to open more fully.

[0037] Reference Figures 1-7 The movable block 10 has a vertically formed insertion interface 14, into which a plug block 15 is inserted. In this embodiment, the plug block 15 is a silicone block. When the plug block 15 is inserted into the insertion interface 14, the silicone plug block 15 locks the insertion interface 14. A contact plate 16 is fixedly provided on the plug block. The contact plate 16 is integrally formed with the plug block. When it is necessary to clean the movable block 10 and the contact plate 16, the plug block is pulled out from the insertion interface 14 to facilitate cleaning. The contact plate 16 has an anti-slip groove 18. When pressing, the anti-slip groove 18 increases hand friction and reduces hand slippage.

[0038] Reference Figures 1-7The outer casing 1 has a mating groove 17, which communicates with the pressing port 9. The contact plate 16 is located in the mating groove 17, which improves the overall aesthetics of the outer casing 1.

[0039] Reference Figures 1-7 An mounting plate 19 is fixedly installed on the outer shell 1. When the protective cover 2 is closed, the lower surface of the rotating plate 5 near the contact block 6 contacts the mounting plate 19. The mounting plate 19 supports the rotating plate 5 to prevent the rotating plate 5 from running and making noise when the protective cover 2 is closed.

[0040] The implementation principle of this embodiment is as follows: When it is necessary to open the protective cover 2, press down the moving block 10, the moving block 10 touches the rotating plate 5 downward, and the rotating plate 5 rotates, causing the other end of the contact block 6 to tilt upward. The two contact blocks 6 push the contact block 7 upward, thereby fully lifting the protective cover 2. It is not necessary to manually grasp the protective cover 2 to open it, thus achieving the effect of conveniently opening the protective cover 2.
