Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of sticker dispensing equipment technology, and in particular to a sticker output machine. Background Technology

[0002] Stickers are widely used in many scenarios due to their low cost, variety of forms, ease of use, and decorative and identification functions. For example, teachers use stickers as rewards, children and students like to put personalized stickers on items, and paper packaging such as bread and milk tea in stores is sealed with stickers.

[0003] In related technologies, stickers are distributed using a sticker machine. When in use, multiple strips of backing paper with peelable stickers are arranged and wound into a sticker roll. The sticker roll is installed inside the housing of the sticker machine, and the stickers are peeled off from the backing paper and output from the sticker outlet by the peeling mechanism and winding mechanism inside the sticker machine.

[0004] In existing technology, a sticker compartment with an opening is provided on the housing, and a removable cover is provided at the opening, allowing the sticker roll to be installed into the sticker compartment through the opening. However, due to the limited installation space inside the sticker compartment, especially the narrow space between the peeling mechanism near the sticker outlet and the housing, and the need to bypass the peeling mechanism and connect it to the winding mechanism when changing stickers, the replacement of the sticker roll is inconvenient and affects the user experience.

[0005] The above content is only used to assist in understanding the technical solution of the utility model and does not represent an admission that the above content is prior art. Utility Model Content

[0006] In view of the above problems, this utility model proposes a sticker output machine, which aims to solve the technical problem of inconvenient sticker roll replacement in sticker output machines.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention proposes a sticker output machine for peeling and outputting stickers from backing paper. The stickers are peelably adhered to the backing paper and wound into sticker rolls. The sticker output machine includes a machine body, a drive mechanism, and a paper roll support frame.

[0008] The machine body has a enclosure, and the enclosure is provided with a sticker outlet;

[0009] The drive mechanism is mounted on the machine body, and the drive mechanism has an output component for automatically or passively outputting rotational power.

[0010] The paper roll support includes a housing, a winding mechanism, and a peeling mechanism. The peeling mechanism is fixedly connected to the housing and configured to cooperate with the winding mechanism to change the travel direction of the backing paper, so that the sticker is peeled off from the backing paper and output from the sticker outlet. The housing has a first opening for positioning and installing the sticker roll. The housing also has exposure windows communicating with the first opening and located on both sides of the peeling direction of the peeling mechanism. The winding mechanism is rotatably connected to the housing, and the rotation axis of the winding mechanism is consistent with the orientation of the first opening.

[0011] The paper roll carrier is movably connected to the machine body to switch between a working position and a sticker installation position; in the working position, the paper roll carrier is housed within the machine body, and the winding mechanism is detachably driven connected to the output component to pull the sticker roll to rotate and wind the backing paper, with the housing forming part of the outer wall of the sticker output machine; in the sticker installation position, the winding mechanism is separated from the output component, the paper roll carrier is away from the machine body, the first opening is exposed, and the peeling mechanism is exposed to the housing via the first opening and the exposure window.

[0012] In one embodiment, the paper roll carrier is rotatably connected to the machine body to switch between the working position and the sticker installation position, and the winding mechanism and the output mechanism are detachably connected in the rotation direction of the paper roll carrier.

[0013] In one embodiment, the paper roll support is rotatably connected to the machine body about a preset axis, and the preset axis is arranged parallel to the rotation axis of the winding mechanism.

[0014] In one embodiment, the body defines an installation compartment with a second opening, the sticker outlet communicating with the installation compartment; the paper roll carrier can receive and rotate out of the installation compartment via the second opening; the housing includes a sidewall corresponding to the second opening, in the working position, the paper roll carrier is received within the installation compartment, and the peeling mechanism is adjacent to and corresponding to the sticker outlet, the sidewall being adapted to cover the second opening.

[0015] In one embodiment, the housing further includes a mounting plate, which is provided with a positioning element for positioning and mounting the sticker roll. The sidewall is fixedly connected to the peripheral edge of the mounting plate, and the mounting plate and the sidewall define the first opening and the exposure window. The winding mechanism and the peeling mechanism are connected to the mounting plate.

[0016] In one embodiment, the body has a top wall connected to the enclosure wall and opposite to the mounting plate, wherein in the working position, the top wall, enclosure wall, side wall, and mounting plate together define a sticker roll receiving cavity.

[0017] In one embodiment, the body further has a bottom wall opposite to the top wall, and the bottom wall, top wall and enclosure wall together form the mounting chamber; the drive mechanism is mounted on the side of the bottom wall away from the top wall, and the output component includes a transmission member passing through the bottom wall; the winding mechanism includes a mating member mounted on the mounting plate facing the bottom wall, and the transmission member is configured to be detachably connected to the mating member.

[0018] In one embodiment, the transmission member includes a first gear extending from the bottom wall, and the mating member includes a second gear. The first gear and the second gear are arranged side by side in the rotation direction of the paper roll support frame. The first gear is configured to mesh with the second gear in the working position and to disengage from the second gear in the sticker mounting position.

[0019] In one embodiment, the mounting plate is disposed adjacent to or against the bottom wall, and the mounting plate is provided with a clearance notch groove to avoid the transmission component when rotating, and the mating component is disposed in the clearance notch groove.

[0020] In one embodiment, the second opening includes a first opening area and a second opening area located on the front and rear sides of the rotatable connection between the sidewall and the machine body, respectively. In the working position, the sidewall includes a front section area corresponding to the first opening area and a rear section area corresponding to the second opening area. The paper roll support frame can be rotated until the front section area is limited to abutting against the rear edge of the second opening area.

[0021] In one embodiment, one end of the housing is rotatably connected to the body, and the other end is detachably fixedly connected to the body.

[0022] In one embodiment, the winding mechanism includes a winding shaft that is limitedly connected to the housing along its rotation axis, and a slot for inserting the liner paper is provided on the end face of the winding shaft adjacent to the first opening.

[0023] In one embodiment, in the working position, the housing is elastically engaged, snapped together, or magnetically connected to the body.

[0024] This invention allows the paper roll carrier to be movably connected to the machine body, enabling switching between a working position and a sticker installation position. In the working position, the winding mechanism on the paper roll carrier is driven by the output component on the machine body, ensuring the normal operation of the sticker output machine. Furthermore, the shell of the paper roll carrier forms part of the outer wall of the sticker output machine, meaning there's no need to first remove the machine body cover before switching the paper roll carrier to the sticker installation position. During use, switching between the working and sticker installation positions is a simple one-step process. In the sticker installation position, the first opening of the paper roll carrier is exposed, and the peeling mechanism is exposed on both sides in the peeling direction through display windows. That is, except for the surface connected to the shell, the rest of the peeling mechanism is exposed outside the shell. Therefore, when the paper roll carrier is in the sticker installation position, the user can install the sticker roll from the first opening and operate the backing paper at the peeling mechanism from the outside, providing more space for sticker roll replacement and effectively improving the convenience of sticker roll replacement, thus enhancing the user experience.

[0048] This invention discloses a sticker output machine for manually or electrically peeling stickers from a sticker roll and outputting the peeled stickers from the sticker outlet, thus facilitating the user to apply the stickers to the surface of a target object. The sticker roll is formed by winding strips of backing paper with multiple peelable stickers attached to them, with a hollow center. The backing paper has a release layer for sticker application, facilitating the peeling of the stickers from the backing paper. The shape and graphics of the stickers can be selected and designed according to actual needs; for example, the side of the sticker facing away from the backing paper can be printed with cartoon patterns, characters, text, barcodes, etc., for children's entertainment or as labels.

[0049] In this embodiment of the utility model, please refer to Figure 1-5 , Figure 13 and Figure 14 The sticker output machine includes a body 100, a drive mechanism 200, and a paper roll carrier 300;

[0050] The body 100 has a enclosure 110, and the enclosure 110 is provided with a sticker outlet 111;

[0051] The drive mechanism 200 is mounted on the body 100 and has an output member 210 for automatically or passively outputting rotational power.

[0052] The paper roll support frame 300 includes a housing 310, a winding mechanism 320, and a peeling mechanism 330. The peeling mechanism 330 is fixedly connected to the housing 310 and is configured to cooperate with the winding mechanism 320 to change the direction of travel of the backing paper, so that the sticker is peeled off from the backing paper and output from the sticker outlet 111. The housing 310 is provided with a first opening 311 for positioning and installing the sticker roll 500. The housing 310 also has exposure windows 312 that communicate with the first opening 311 and are located on both sides of the peeling direction of the peeling mechanism 330. The winding mechanism 320 is rotatably connected to the housing 310, and the rotation axis of the winding mechanism 320 is consistent with the orientation of the first opening 311.

[0053] The paper roll carrier 300 is movably connected to the body 100 so that it can be switched between a working position and a sticker installation position. In the working position, the paper roll carrier 300 is housed within the body 100, and the winding mechanism 320 is detachably driven connected to the output member 210 to pull the sticker roll 500 to rotate and wind the backing paper. The housing 310 forms part of the outer wall of the sticker output machine. In the sticker installation position, the winding mechanism 320 is separated from the output member 210, the paper roll carrier 300 is away from the body 100, the first opening 311 is exposed, and the peeling mechanism 330 is exposed to the housing 310 through the first opening 311 and the exposure window 312.

[0054] In this embodiment, the overall shape of the sticker output machine can be varied. For example, the outer shell of the sticker output machine can be constructed into a cube, cuboid, cylinder, irregular shape, etc. The overall shape of the sticker output machine can be selected and designed according to actual needs, and no specific limitation is made here. The body 100 constitutes the mounting frame of the sticker output machine. The drive mechanism 200 is installed in the body 100. The drive mechanism 200 and the paper roll carrier 300 can be installed in the same cavity within the body 100, or they can be installed in different cavities within the body 100. To prevent the drive mechanism 200 from accidentally falling apart when the user changes the sticker roll 500, optionally, the body 100 is provided with a partition bottom wall 140 to divide the body 100 into an independent drive cavity and a mounting compartment 120. The drive mechanism 200 is installed in the drive cavity, and the paper roll carrier 300 is installed in the mounting compartment 120. The output component 210 of the drive mechanism 200 passes through the partition bottom wall 140 and is connected to the winding mechanism 320 for transmission. The sticker outlet 111 is used to output the stickers after they have been peeled off. Typically, the sticker outlet 111 extends in a long strip along the width of the backing paper. Specifically, the sticker outlet 111 may be racetrack-shaped. It is understood that the shape and size of the enclosure 110 (e.g., whether the enclosure 110 forms a complete ring or is part of the wall of a ring) need to be designed according to the movable connection method between the paper roll carrier 300 and the machine body 100. The specific construction of the enclosure 110 is not limited here, but it can at least be determined that the enclosure 110 constitutes part of the outer wall of the entire sticker output machine.

[0055] The driving mechanism 200 can take many forms. For example, in one embodiment, the driving mechanism 200 is an automatic driving mechanism 200. The driving mechanism 200 includes a motor, a gear set, a transmission shaft, and other structures. The transmission shaft is connected to the output component 210. The motor drives the gear set to rotate the transmission shaft, which in turn drives the winding mechanism 320 to rotate via the output component 210, thereby winding the backing paper. This allows the sticker to be peeled off from the backing paper by the peeling mechanism 330 and output from the sticker outlet 111. The driving mechanism 200 in this embodiment can be implemented with reference to the utility model patent with publication number CN220682961U, which will not be described in detail here. In another embodiment, the drive mechanism 200 can also be a manual drive mechanism 200. The drive mechanism 200 includes an operating element, a gear set, a one-way clutch, a drive shaft, and other structures. The drive shaft is connected to the output component 210. By pressing the operating element, the drive shaft is rotated, which in turn drives the winding mechanism 320 to rotate via the output component 210, thereby winding the backing paper. This allows the sticker to be peeled off from the backing paper by the peeling mechanism 330 and output from the sticker outlet 111. The drive mechanism 200 in this embodiment can be implemented with reference to the utility model patent with publication number CN222224930U, which will not be described in detail here.

[0056] To improve paper feeding stability, the housing 310 may optionally include a sticker output section, which can form a paper feeding channel within the sticker conveying section, or the sticker conveying section may form a paper feeding channel together with other structures (such as the enclosure 110). It is understood that this paper feeding channel does not refer to a fully enclosed channel; that is, the side walls 313 of the paper feeding channel can be discontinuous. It is sufficient that the paper feeding channel has side walls 313 on both sides in the thickness direction of the backing paper. These side walls 313 can be opposite or non-opposite, as long as they are positioned on opposite sides in the thickness direction of the backing paper to provide certain constraints on the backing paper. Specifically, the paper feeding channel communicates with the first opening 311. When the sticker roll 500 is installed into the housing 310 through the first opening 311, the backing paper can be directly embedded into the paper feeding channel through the first opening 311, making the installation of the backing paper within the paper feeding channel 111 more convenient and faster.

[0057] The peeling mechanism 330 is used to peel the sticker off the backing paper. The peeling mechanism 330 can have various structures and forms, such as a roller structure or a pointed-corner structure. The peeling mechanism 330 is used to deflect the backing paper so that the direction of travel of the backing paper from the sticker roll 500 to the peeling mechanism 330 forms an angle with the direction of travel of the backing paper between the peeling mechanism 330 and the winding mechanism 320. Specifically, the direction of travel of the backing paper at the sticker roll 500 and the peeling mechanism 330 forms an acute angle with the direction of travel of the backing paper between the peeling mechanism 330 and the winding mechanism 320. Thus, when the sticker moves to the peeling mechanism 330, because the backing paper has turned inward, the leading edge of the sticker in the direction of travel gradually separates from the backing paper. As the backing paper continues to move forward, the sticker can completely detach from the backing paper and finally be output from the sticker outlet 111, thereby realizing the conveying and distribution of a single sticker.

[0058] Understandably, initially, the unwound end of the sticker roll 500 is fixedly connected to the winding mechanism 320. After use, the winding mechanism 320 is rotated manually or electrically to pull the sticker roll 500 to rotate and wind the backing paper, so that the backing paper after the sticker is peeled off can be recycled by the winding mechanism 320. The thickness of the backing paper roll gradually decreases, while the thickness of the backing paper on the winding mechanism 320 gradually increases.

[0059] Optionally, the housing 310 is further provided with a positioning element 340 for positioning and mounting the sticker roll 500. The positioning element 340 is used for positioning and rotating the sticker roll 500; therefore, the positioning element 340 can be a positioning post, inserted into the hollow portion of the sticker roll 500. Alternatively, the positioning element 340 can be an arc-shaped wall 110, or a circumferentially spaced enclosure, to form a rotation space within which the sticker roll 500 is positioned. The specific form of the positioning element 340 can be designed according to actual needs and is not specifically limited here.

[0060] The housing 310 of the paper roll carrier 300 can take many forms. For example, in some embodiments, the housing 310 only includes a mounting plate 316, with the surrounding wall 110 forming an upward-facing ring. The mounting plate 316 is rotatably or detachably connected to the machine body 100, and in the working position, the mounting plate 316 covers the opening. In other embodiments, the housing 310 may include an interconnected mounting plate 316 and a side wall 313, such that the winding mechanism 320, the peeling mechanism 330, etc., are mounted on the mounting plate 316, and the paper roll carrier 300 rotates about a rotation axis that is consistent with the axial extension direction of the winding mechanism 320; the surrounding wall 110 extends in a strip shape, and in the working position, the side wall 313 and the surrounding wall 110 are joined to form a ring. In this case, the mounting plate 316 can either form the outer wall of the sticker output machine or be hidden inside the machine body 100.

[0061] In this arrangement, the rotation axis of the winding mechanism 320 is aligned with the orientation of the first opening 311. The winding mechanism 320 and the peeling mechanism 330 extend along the first opening 311. Thus, when the sticker roll 500 is positioned on the paper roll support frame 300 through the first opening 311, the width direction of the backing paper is aligned with the length direction of the peeling mechanism 330 and the winding mechanism 320. The housing 310 also has exposure windows 312 that communicate with the first opening 311 and are located on both sides of the peeling direction of the peeling mechanism 330. That is, except for the surface of the peeling mechanism 330 connected to the housing 310, the rest of the peeling mechanism 330 is exposed outside the housing 310. Therefore, when the paper roll support frame 300 is in the sticker mounting position, the user can operate the backing paper at the peeling mechanism 330 from the outside, making the operation of wrapping the backing paper around the peeling mechanism 330 more convenient. The size of the exposure windows 312 can be designed according to actual needs and is not specifically limited here.

[0062] There are many ways in which the paper roll carrier 300 can be movably connected to the machine body 100. For example, the paper roll carrier 300 can be rotatably connected to the machine body 100, or it can be pulled out and connected to the machine body 100, or it can be detachably connected to the machine body 100. Here, there is no specific limitation on the way the paper roll carrier 300 is movably connected to the machine body 100, as long as the paper roll carrier 300 can be switched between the working position and the sticker installation position.

[0063] When the paper roll carrier 300 is in the working position, the housing 310 forms part of the outer wall of the sticker output machine. This means that it is not necessary to first remove the cover of the machine body 100 and then switch the paper roll carrier 300 to the sticker installation position. During use, only one step is needed to directly switch the working position and the sticker installation position of the paper roll carrier 300, simplifying the switching process. The winding mechanism 320 and the output component 210 are detachably connected, so that in the working position, the winding mechanism 320 is connected to the output mechanism, and in the sticker installation position, the winding mechanism 320 is separated from the output mechanism. The method and structure of the detachable transmission connection between the winding mechanism 320 and the output component 210 need to be selected and designed according to the movable connection method between the paper roll carrier 300 and the machine body 100. For example, they can be connected by gear transmission, or they can be connected by friction clutch, etc. In use, the winding mechanism 320 is rotated by manually or electrically driving the output component 210, which in turn pulls the sticker roll 500 to rotate. This causes the backing paper located between the sticker roll 500 and the winding mechanism 320 to move forward. The sticker is then peeled off at the peeling mechanism 330 and output from the sticker outlet 111. Generally, for ease of paper output, the peeling mechanism 330 is positioned corresponding to and adjacent to the sticker outlet 111 when the paper roll support 300 is in the working position.

[0064] When the paper roll carrier 300 is in the sticker installation position, both the first opening 311 and the display window 312 are exposed. The user can install the sticker roll 500 onto the housing 310 through the first opening 311, fix the unwound end of the sticker roll 500 to the winding mechanism 320, and then wind the backing paper onto the peeling mechanism 330 through the display window 312. This makes the replacement operation space of the sticker roll 500 larger, thus making the replacement of the sticker roll 500 more convenient.

[0065] This invention allows the paper roll carrier 300 to be movably connected to the machine body 100, enabling switching between a working position and a sticker installation position. In the working position, the winding mechanism 320 on the paper roll carrier 300 is connected to the output component 210 on the machine body 100, ensuring the normal operation of the sticker output machine. Furthermore, the housing 310 of the paper roll carrier 300 forms part of the outer wall of the sticker output machine, meaning that it is not necessary to first disassemble the cover of the machine body 100 and then switch the paper roll carrier 300 to the sticker installation position. During use, only one step is needed to directly switch between the working position and the sticker installation position of the paper roll carrier 300, simplifying the switching process. In the sticker installation position, the first opening 311 of the paper roll carrier 300 is exposed, and the peeling mechanism 330 is exposed on both sides in the peeling direction through exposure windows 312. That is, except for the surface connected to the housing 310, the rest of the peeling mechanism 330 is exposed outside the housing 310. Therefore, when the paper roll carrier 300 is in the sticker installation position, the user can install the sticker roll 500 from the first opening 311 and can operate the backing paper at the peeling mechanism 330 from the outside, which makes the replacement operation space of the sticker roll 500 larger, thereby effectively improving the convenience of replacing the sticker roll 500 and enhancing the user experience.

[0066] In one embodiment, such as Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the paper roll carrier 300 is rotatably connected to the machine body 100 to switch between the working position and the sticker installation position. The winding mechanism 320 and the output mechanism 210 are detachably connected in the rotation direction of the paper roll carrier 300. The paper roll carrier 300 and the machine body 100 can be hinged by providing a rotating shaft and shaft hole. This rotatable connection allows the paper roll carrier 300 to switch between the working position and the sticker installation position. When the sticker roll 500 needs to be replaced, it is not necessary to completely disassemble the paper roll carrier 300. Furthermore, switching from the sticker installation position to the working position eliminates the need for alignment. Therefore, switching the paper roll carrier 300 between the working position and the sticker installation position is simpler, especially convenient for children. The winding mechanism 320 and the output mechanism 210 are connected in a separable transmission manner in the rotation direction of the paper roll carrier 300. When the paper roll carrier 300 rotates into the machine body 100, the winding mechanism 320 and the output mechanism 210 are connected in a transmission manner. When the paper roll carrier 300 rotates out of the machine body 100, the winding mechanism 320 and the output mechanism 210 will not interfere with the rotation of the paper roll carrier 300, and the two can be separated from each other to ensure that the paper roll carrier 300 can rotate out of the machine body 100.

[0067] Furthermore, the paper roll carrier 300 is rotatably connected to the machine body 100 around a preset axis, which is parallel to the rotation axis of the winding mechanism 320. It should be noted that the preset axis and the rotation axis of the winding mechanism 320 can be perfectly parallel or at an angle of no more than 1 degree. By making the paper roll carrier 300 rotatable around a preset axis parallel to the rotation axis of the winding mechanism 320, i.e., the entire paper roll carrier 300 rotates in a horizontal pushing motion, compared to other rotation methods, such as flipping rotation, the area of ​​the shell 310 forming the outer wall of the sticker output machine can be reduced, while the area of ​​the surrounding wall 110 of the machine body 100 can be increased, thus ensuring the structural stability and reliability of the entire sticker output machine.

[0068] In other embodiments, the preset axis may also be set perpendicular to the rotation axis of the winding mechanism 320. In this case, the paper roll carrier 300 is switched to the sticker mounting position by prying it open outwards.

[0069] Specifically, please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 The body 100 defines an installation chamber 120 with a second opening 121, and the sticker outlet 111 communicates with the installation chamber 120; the paper roll carrier 300 can be received and transferred out of the installation chamber 120 through the second opening 121; the housing 310 includes a side wall 313 corresponding to the second opening 121. In the working position, the paper roll carrier 300 is received in the installation chamber 120, and the peeling mechanism 330 is adjacent to and corresponding to the sticker outlet 111. The side wall 313 is adapted to cover the second opening 121.

[0070] In this embodiment, it is understood that when the pre-rotation axis of the paper roll carrier 300 is arranged parallel to the rotation axis of the winding mechanism 320, the second opening 121 is arranged opposite to the surrounding wall 110, that is, the second opening 121 is opened on the peripheral wall of the machine body 100. This ensures that when the paper roll carrier 300 is in the working position, the side wall 313 on its housing 310 covers the second opening 121 of the machine body 100, that is, the side wall 313 of the paper roll carrier 300 is spliced ​​with the surrounding wall 110 of the machine body 100 to ensure the integrity of the outer wall of the entire sticker output machine. The peeling mechanism 330 is arranged adjacent to and corresponding to the sticker outlet 111, making the sticker output smoother.

[0071] Furthermore, such as Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 9 , Figure 10 , Figure 12As shown, the housing 310 also includes a mounting plate 316, on which a positioning element 340 is provided for positioning and mounting the sticker roll 500. The side wall 313 is fixedly connected to the periphery of the mounting plate 316, and a first opening 311 and an exposure window 312 are defined between the mounting plate 316 and the side wall 313. The winding mechanism 320 and the peeling mechanism 330 are connected to the mounting plate 316.

[0072] In this embodiment, the positioning element 340 can specifically be a positioning post or positioning cylinder fitted onto the hollow portion of the sticker roll 500. By providing the positioning element 340 for the sticker roll 500 to rotate, displacement of the sticker roll 500 can be avoided, thereby improving the rotational reliability of the sticker roll 500. To ensure structural strength, the positioning element 340, the peeling mechanism 330, and the mounting plate 316 can optionally be integrally formed. By defining a first opening 311 and an exposure window 312 between the mounting plate 316 and the side wall 313, the size of the first opening 311 and the exposure window 312 can be maximized, thereby further improving the ease of winding and installing the sticker roll 500 on the paper roll support frame 300.

[0073] In one embodiment, please refer again Figures 1 to 5 The body 100 has a top wall 130 connected to the enclosure wall 110 and opposite to the mounting plate 316. In the working position, the top wall 130, the enclosure wall 110, the side wall 313, and the mounting plate 316 together define the sticker roll receiving cavity 400.

[0074] To prevent the sticker roll 500 from falling off when the paper roll carrier 300 is opened, the first opening 311 of the paper roll carrier 300 should typically face upwards. If the first opening 311 faces the drive mechanism 200, the paper roll carrier 300 needs to be positioned below the drive mechanism 200 and rotated to open it, which does not conform to user habits. Therefore, users can easily open it with the first opening 311 facing downwards, causing the sticker roll 500 to accidentally fall off.

[0075] Therefore, by providing a top wall 130 to the body 100, with the mounting plate 316 positioned opposite to the top wall 130, and the first opening 311 of the paper roll carrier 300 facing the top wall 130, this arrangement is more user-friendly than having the first opening 311 facing the drive mechanism 200, preventing the sticker roll 500 from accidentally falling off when the user opens the paper roll carrier 300. Of course, in other embodiments, the first opening 311 can also face the drive mechanism 200, with the mounting plate 316 forming the top wall 130 of the body 100, and a limiting member preventing the sticker roll 500 from falling off is provided at the first opening 311.

[0076] In one embodiment, such as Figures 3 to 5 , Figure 13 and Figure 14As shown, the body 100 also has a bottom wall 140 opposite to the top wall 130, and the bottom wall 140, the top wall 130 and the surrounding wall 110 together enclose to form the mounting chamber 120; the drive mechanism 200 is installed on the side of the bottom wall 140 away from the top wall 130, and the output component 210 includes a transmission component 211 passing through the bottom wall 140; the winding mechanism 320 includes a mating component 321 installed on the mounting plate 316 facing the bottom wall 140, and the transmission component 211 is configured to be detachably connected to the mating component 321.

[0077] In this embodiment, specifically, the body 100 forms a drive cavity on the side of the bottom wall 140 facing away from the mounting compartment 120 for mounting the drive mechanism 200. By separating the drive cavity and the mounting compartment 120 through the bottom wall 140, functional partitioning is achieved, preventing the drive mechanism 200 from interfering with the rotation of the paper roll carrier 300. It also prevents the drive mechanism 200 from accidentally falling out after the paper roll carrier 300 is rotated open. Furthermore, it prevents the drive mechanism 200 from being exposed in the mounting compartment 120, resulting in a simpler overall appearance. The transmission component 211 and the mating component 321 can be detachably connected via gear transmission or friction clutch connection, etc. It is sufficient that the transmission component 211 and the mating component 321 can be detachably connected without affecting the switching of the paper roll carrier 300 between the working position and the sticker mounting position.

[0078] In one embodiment, please refer to Figures 4 to 11 , Figure 13 and Figure 14 The transmission component 211 includes a first gear 212 extending from the bottom wall 140, and the mating component 321 includes a second gear 322. The first gear 212 and the second gear 322 are arranged side by side in the rotation direction of the paper roll carrier 300. The first gear 212 is configured to mesh with the second gear 322 in the working position and to disengage from the second gear 322 in the sticker mounting position. That is, the first gear 212 and the second gear 322 can be separably meshed in the rotation direction of the paper roll carrier 300. When the paper roll carrier 300 rotates toward the mounting chamber 120, the first gear 212 is arranged side by side inside the second gear 322. Thus, when the paper roll carrier 300 rotates toward the mounting chamber 120, the second gear 322 can be separated from the first gear 212. By making the transmission component 211 and the mating component 321 connected by a separable gear transmission, the transmission connection between the two is more reliable. The dimensions and specific parameters of the first gear 212 and the second gear 322 can be selected and designed according to actual needs, and are not specifically limited here. In practice, the transmission component 211 also includes a transmission part fixedly connected to the first gear 212. The transmission part is connected to other gears of the drive mechanism 200. This transmission part can be a gear ring groove with internal teeth, or it can be a transmission gear.

[0079] In conjunction with the above embodiment having mounting plate 316, further, as Figures 3 to 5 , Figure 9 As shown, the mounting plate 316 is disposed adjacent to or against the bottom wall 140. The mounting plate 316 is provided with a clearance notch 317 for avoiding the transmission component 211 when rotating. The mating component 321 is disposed in the clearance notch 317.

[0080] In this embodiment, the mounting plate 316 is positioned adjacent to or against the bottom wall 140, which reduces the gap between the mounting plate 316 and the bottom wall 140. This allows the bottom wall 140 to provide positioning for the rotation of the paper roll carrier 300, reducing wobbling during rotation and making the rotation of the paper roll carrier 300 more reliable and stable. Specifically, the clearance notch 317 can be arc-shaped, with the notch located on the inner edge of the mounting plate 316. By providing this clearance notch 317, the transmission component 211 can be avoided during the transmission of the paper roll carrier 300, preventing interference between the mounting plate 316 and the transmission component 211, thus allowing the mounting plate 316 to be closer to and against the bottom wall 140. In other embodiments, the mating component 321 can protrude from the mounting plate 316, i.e., the entire mounting plate 316 is recessed, to avoid rotational interference.

[0081] In conjunction with the above embodiment having a second opening 121, please further refer to... Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 The second opening 121 includes a first opening area 122 and a second opening area 123 located on the front and rear sides of the rotating connection between the side wall 313 and the machine body 100, respectively. In the working position, the side wall 313 includes a front section area 314 corresponding to the first opening area 122 and a rear section area 315 corresponding to the second opening area 123. The paper roll support frame 300 can be rotated until the front section area 314 is limited to abutting against the rear edge of the second opening area 123.

[0082] In this embodiment, the second opening 121 includes a first opening area 122 and a second opening area 123 located on the front and rear sides of the rotatable connection between the side wall 313 and the machine body 100, respectively. That is, the side wall 313 is not connected to the machine body 100 at its end. This allows for a larger opening angle of the entire paper roll carrier 300. Specifically, the length of the front section 314 is greater than the length of the rear section 315. For example, the ratio of the length of the front section 314 to the length of the rear section 315 can be greater than or equal to 3. Thus, when the paper roll carrier 300 is opened to its maximum position, that is, when the front section 314 is stopped and abuts against the rear edge of the second opening area 123, the entire first opening 311 can be fully exposed.

[0083] In one embodiment, such as Figures 3 to 5As shown, one end of the housing 310 is rotatably connected to the body 100, and the other end is detachably and fixedly connected to the body 100. This improves the stability and reliability of the connection between the body 100 and the housing 310. The other end of the housing 310 can be detachably and fixedly connected to the body 100 through snap-fit, magnetic attraction, plug-in, or other means.

[0084] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 3 , Figures 10 to 12 The winding mechanism 320 includes a winding shaft 323, which is connected to the housing 310 along its rotation axis. A slot 324 for inserting backing paper is provided on the end face of the winding shaft 323 adjacent to the first opening 311. The connection of the winding shaft 323 to the housing 310 along its rotation axis effectively prevents it from detaching from the housing 310. Furthermore, the slot 324 on the winding shaft 323 facilitates the insertion and winding of the unwound end of the backing paper, thereby improving the ease of installation of the backing paper onto the winding shaft 323.

[0085] In one embodiment, in the working position, the housing 310 is elastically engaged, snap-fitted, or magnetically connected to the body 100. For example, the housing 310 and the body 100 can be elastically engaged through interference between the housing 310s, or through a spring-loaded snap. The position of the engagement or magnetic connection between the housing 310 and the body 100 is not specifically limited. By making the housing 310 elastically engaged, snap-fitted, or magnetically connected to the body 100, the paper roll carrier 300 maintains a stable connection with the body 100 in the working position, while also making it easier for the user to open the paper roll carrier 300.

[0086] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this application, and are not intended to limit them. Although this application has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application.
