The specific structure of the printer core 11 will be further described below. With reference to fig. 5 to 8, the printer core 11 of the present embodiment includes: a paper guide roller 21 and a heat-sensitive component 22, an elastic member 23 arranged between the first shell part 7 and the heat-sensitive component 22, and a gear transmission component 24 for driving the paper guide roller 21 to rotate. The components of the printer core 11 are arranged on a core bracket formed by matching the first shell part 7, the second shell part 3 and the fifth shell part. Specifically, one side of the paper guide roller 21 is supported on the fifth casing portion 8, and the other side of the paper guide roller 21 is supported on the second casing portion 3. One side of the thermosensitive assembly 22 is supported on the fifth shell portion 8, and the other side of the thermosensitive assembly 22 is supported on the first shell portion 7. Referring to fig. 14 to 16, the thermal module 22 is hingedly movable to approach and separate from the sheet guide roller 21. The cover switch 6 is connected to the rotating member 30, and when the cover switch 6 is switched between the fifth position and the sixth position, the rotating member 30 and the elastic member 23 cooperate to drive the thermal sensitive component 22 to correspondingly switch between the positions close to and far from the paper guide roller 21. The elastic deformation of the elastic member 23 brings the thermosensitive member 22 away from the paper guide roller 21. The elastic element 23 is a tension spring, the upper end of which is hooked on the first casing 7, and the lower end of which is hooked on the thermal head holder of the thermal element 22, i.e. the elastic element 23 is arranged between the core holder and the thermal element. The rotation member 30 is supported on one side on the fifth casing portion 8 and on the other side on the first casing portion 7. The rotation axis of the rotation member 30 is parallel to the rotation axis of the heat sensitive member. The rotating member 30 has a first pressing surface 30A and a second pressing surface 30B. When the cover switch 6 is in the fifth position, the elastic element 23 is in a stretched state, and the rotating element 30 presses the thermosensitive assembly 22 through the first pressing surface 30A; when the cover switch 6 rotates counterclockwise to the sixth position, the elastic member 23 retracts from the stretched state, and the rotating member 30 presses the thermal element 22 through the second pressing surface 30B. The distance between the first pressing surface 30A and the rotation axis of the rotation member 30 is greater than the distance between the second pressing surface 30B and the rotation axis of the rotation member 30, and further when the cover switch 6 drives the rotation member 30 to rotate, the surface of the rotation member 30 pressing the heat sensitive element 22 is switched from the first pressing surface 30A to the second pressing surface 30B, and the elastic element 23 is synchronously gradually retracted from the stretching state and pulls the heat sensitive element 22 away from the paper guide roller 21. The specific principle of the proximity of the thermal element 22 to the paper guide roller 21 can be understood by referring to the above description, and the detailed description is omitted. The printer core 11 further includes a driving motor for driving the gear transmission assembly 24 to rotate, as shown in fig. 6, the driving motor is disposed on the fifth casing portion 8, and the driving motor is electrically connected to the control device 14. The paper guide roller 21 rotates to drive the label paper M to move outward along the paper output path S2. When the thermal element 22 approaches the paper guide roller 21, the two cooperate to complete the print job. Referring to fig. 8, the gear assembly 24 is disposed on the fifth housing portion 8 and includes a first transmission gear 24A, and the first bracket 20 has hinge slots opposite to each other in the up-down direction. The upper and lower ends of the right side of the paper guide 18 are hinged in the hinge groove of the first bracket 20, and the paper guide 18 has a relief groove 18A adapted to the first transmission gear 24A. The design of the abdicating groove 18A can avoid the interference between the paper guide component 18 and the first transmission gear 24A when rotating, and meanwhile, the design of the abdicating groove 18A enables the whole structure to be compact.

The specific structure of the peeling mechanism 12 will be further described below. The peeling mechanism 12 includes a paper guide 18 and a peeling roller 19. The peeling platen roller 19 is disposed on one side of the fifth casing portion 8 and on the other side of the second casing portion 3. As shown in fig. 9, the paper guide unit 18 includes a paper guide unit main body 18A and a driven roller 18B disposed on the paper guide unit main body. The upper end of the paper guide body 18A has a plurality of spaced raised edges for guiding the label portion M2 of the label paper M, and the spaced raised edges prevent the label portion M2 from sticking to the paper guide body 18A. The lower end of the paper guide assembly body 18A has uneven teeth, and when the backing paper portion M1 of the label paper M is too long, the user pulls the backing paper portion M1 so that the teeth press the backing paper portion M1 to cut off the too long backing paper portion M1. The driven roller 18B is located inside the paper guide main body 18A, which is located inside the interleaving paper passage S3 when the paper guide 18 defines the interleaving paper passage S3 in cooperation with the chassis main body. The driven roller 18B is used to cooperate with the peeling roller 19 and the paper guide roller 21 to operate, and specifically, when the paper guide roller 21 is driven to drive the label paper M to move outward, the driven roller 18B is driven to rotate by the backing paper portion M1 of the label paper M, so that the backing paper portion M1 can move along the backing paper path S. The application of the peeling mechanism to a printer for printing label paper is a common technology, and corresponding disclosures are provided in patent applications CN100469658C and CN105383193A, and other contents not mentioned in the present application can be referred to corresponding patent applications for understanding assistance.

Referring to fig. 10, the second holder 26 has a configuration groove portion 26A of the code scanner 13 and a first light passing hole 26B. The first detecting mechanism 25 is disposed on the second support 26, and is a photoelectric detecting mechanism, which can emit light through the first light passing hole 26B to irradiate the label paper M, so as to determine the traveling amount of the label paper M, and thus control the printer core to print on each label portion. The specific principle of the printer core controlling the label portions of the label paper M to be printed one by one according to the detection information of the first detection mechanism 25 is known in the art, and therefore, the detailed description thereof is omitted.

Referring to fig. 11 and 12, the second housing portion 3 has a second light passing hole 3A, and the second housing portion 3 is configured with a first detecting mechanism 27, which is also a photoelectric detecting mechanism, and can emit light through the second light passing hole 3A to irradiate the label paper M so as to determine the traveling amount of the label paper M.

It should be noted that, in the drawings, for convenience of illustration, connection wires for electrically connecting the first detecting mechanism, the second detecting mechanism, the code scanning control switch, the code scanning device, the battery module and other mechanisms to the control device are not shown.

It is to be readily understood that the specific embodiments are not limited to the above-described embodiments under the inventive concept of the present application. In another embodiment, the pressure applying roller 16 may be omitted or the position of the pressure applying roller 16 may be adjusted according to product needs. In another embodiment, only one detection mechanism may be included. In another embodiment, the cover switch 6 may be omitted and a matching manner between the cover and the housing main body may be additionally provided, for example, the cover controls the opening and closing of the paper storage cavity by sliding relative to the housing main body, the cover and the housing main body are matched by interference fit, and the cover can slide relative to the housing main body only when a certain external force is applied. Different from the scheme that the cover body is arranged on the right side of the machine shell main body. In another embodiment, the cover may also be disposed on the right side of the main body of the housing, and the disposition of the printer core and the peeling mechanism may be adjusted correspondingly. In another embodiment, the paper guide assembly may be directly disposed on the casing main body, instead of indirectly disposing the paper guide assembly on the core support of the casing main body through the first support. Different from the hinged mode for configuring the cover body and the paper guide assembly, the cover body and the paper guide assembly can also be movably configured in other modes as long as the cover body and the paper guide assembly can be switched at different positions.

The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and is not intended to limit the present invention, and various modifications and changes may be made to the present invention by those skilled in the art. Any modification, equivalent replacement, or improvement made within the spirit and principle of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
