Example 1

The present embodiment provides a printer, as shown in fig. 1 and 2, including: a housing 1 having a plurality of outer surfaces; and the power supply seat 2 is movably connected to the shell 1 and at least provided with a first position and a second position which are respectively positioned on different outer surfaces of the shell 1. The power socket 2 can be respectively corresponding to different outer surfaces of the shell 1 in the first position and the second position by changing the position of the power socket. When the printer is placed on the station, the baffle on the back of the station is tightly attached to the back of the printer, and at the moment, the power supply seat 2 is only required to be turned to the side from the back, so that the printer can be placed close to the corner of the station.

Fig. 1 and 2 are used for illustrating positions of the power supply socket 2 corresponding to different outer surfaces of the housing 1. Therefore, the regular rectangular illustration is adopted for the housing 1, and in actual manufacturing, the printer itself is not limited to the standard rectangular shape as shown in the figure, and the rectangular outer shell cannot be taken as a limitation to the structure of the embodiment. As an alternative embodiment, the housing may also be irregularly shaped.

The positional relationship between the first position and the second position is not particularly limited, and in this embodiment, as shown in fig. 1 and fig. 2, the first position and the second position are respectively located on two adjacent outer surfaces of the housing 1, and the outer surfaces include at least the side surfaces of the housing 1. When the printer was placed near the upper left corner on the official working position, the baffle of the back of casing 1 and left surface laminating station, power seat 2 sets up the right side at casing 1. When the printer was placed near the upper right corner on the official working position, the baffle of the back of casing 1 and right flank laminating station was placed, and power socket 2 sets up the left side at casing 1. When the baffle on the back of the office position is provided with the wire passing hole, the power supply seat 2 is positioned on the back of the shell 1, the power supply seat 2 is opposite to the wire passing hole, the power line is inserted into the power supply seat 2 through the wire passing hole, and the back of the shell 1 can still be attached to the baffle on the back of the work position. As an alternative embodiment, the first position and the second position are respectively located on two outer surfaces of the rectangular housing symmetrically arranged as shown in fig. 1 and 2. As another alternative, when the housing 1 has other shapes, the first position and the second position correspond to different housing 1 having no intersecting edges between the outer surfaces.

The connection manner of the power socket 2 and the housing 1 is not particularly limited, in this embodiment, as shown in fig. 3 and 4, the power socket 2 is slidably connected to the housing 1, a sliding slot for the power socket 2 to slide is provided on the housing 1, and the first position and the second position are located on a sliding path of the power socket 2. As an alternative embodiment, as shown in fig. 5, the power socket 2 is detachably connected to the housing 1, and the housing 1 is provided with a mounting groove for mounting the power socket 2. The power socket 2 is arranged at the bottom of the shell 1. When connected to the power socket 2, the power cord can be hidden in the bottom of the case 1.

Wherein, deflector 11 is located the inner wall of spout, and in this embodiment, deflector 11 has two, corresponds the upper and lower both sides that set up at power seat 2 respectively, corresponds the upper and lower both sides inner wall of spout promptly. As an alternative embodiment, the guide plate 11 is located on the other inner wall of the chute. In this embodiment, the guide plate 11 is integrally connected to the inner wall of the chute. As an alternative embodiment, the guide plate 11 is detachably attached to the inner wall of the chute, and the power supply socket can have more shaped guide grooves 111 by detaching and replacing the guide plate. Or when the current guide groove 111 is damaged, a new guide groove 111 can be replaced in time.

As shown in fig. 1 and 2, in this embodiment, the first position and the second position are disposed near an edge of the casing 1 where two adjacent outer surfaces meet. Because the edge that meets between the different surface is nearer relatively apart from two surfaces, consequently with the first position of power seat 2 and the setting of second position near the edge, displacement when can reducing power seat 2 switching position to improve the convenience that the user used.

The connection structure between the power socket 2 and the guide groove 111 is not particularly limited, and in this embodiment, as shown in fig. 3 and 4, a limiting column 21 is convexly disposed on the power socket 2, and the limiting column 21 extends into the guide groove 111, so that the limiting column 21 can be hidden in the housing 1. As an alternative embodiment, the limiting column 21 is disposed on the guide plate 11, and the guide groove 111 is disposed on the power supply socket 2. As another alternative, a magnetic attraction positioning mode may also be adopted, and magnetic blocks are respectively arranged at the first position and the second position, and when the power supply base 2 moves to different positions, the magnetic blocks are respectively fixed by the magnetic quick attraction at the corresponding positions.

The position of the chute is not particularly limited, and in the present embodiment, as shown in fig. 4, the guide plate 11 is disposed toward the opening of the chute, and the guide slot 111 is located on the guide plate 11, so that the power supply socket 2 slides in the chute by the guiding function of the guide slot 111, thereby slidably switching the power supply socket 2 between the first position and the second position. As an alternative embodiment, the guide plate 11 is located on the other inner wall of the chute.

As shown in fig. 5, a plurality of grooves are formed in the outer surface of the housing 1, and the grooves at least include a wire-hiding groove 12 communicating with the sliding groove. The wire hiding groove 12 can contain a power line, and when the power line connector is connected to the power supply base 2, the power line can be clamped and embedded in the wire hiding groove 12, so that the power line is hidden. When the power socket 2 is disposed at the bottom of the housing 1, the wire-hiding groove 12 accommodates the power wire, which can prevent the power wire from occupying the space between the housing 1 and the desktop. The hiding effect of the power line is further improved.

It should be understood that the above examples are only for clarity of illustration and are not intended to limit the embodiments. Other variations and modifications will be apparent to persons skilled in the art in light of the above description. And are neither required nor exhaustive of all embodiments. And obvious variations or modifications therefrom are within the scope of the invention.
