Furthermore, for the relative arrangement of the first matching convex part, only a structure with height difference needs to be arranged on the mounting bracket, and a higher structure is used as the first matching convex part, namely, the first matching convex part can be a plane, and only one side of the first matching convex part needs to be provided with a groove, a concave part or an avoiding concave part, so that the second matching convex part can have the height difference in the process of advancing, and the heat-sensitive piece can be moved.

In addition, the mounting bracket can be connected with the base in a hinged mode, and can also be arranged with a corresponding sliding groove in a mode of sliding along the paper thickness direction, so that the mounting bracket and the thermosensitive plate can move along the paper thickness direction.

And, on some thermal printer models, like the thermal printer of seat formula or desktop formula, still can not set up paper storehouse groove or paper storehouse, adopt external paper storehouse or outer defeated paper's mode, the cooperation thermal sensitive piece returns back the structure, beats printing paper then and can smoothly pass to by thermal sensitive piece and rubber roll centre gripping, then also can realize the utility model aims at.

From top to bottom, it leads to the groove through the paper storehouse groove and the paper feed that set up the intercommunication, and set up dress paper opening on the same one side of paper width direction, then the beating of package is beaten paper and can be pulled out one section tiling section, the beating of coiling section is beaten paper and is adorned the paper storehouse groove, the beating of tiling section is beaten paper and is adorned paper feed and lead to the groove, and can slide in to between heat-sensitive piece and the rubber roll, can normally walk paper after the lid closes the side cap again and print the formation of image, dress paper mode through the lateral part, simultaneously because heat-sensitive piece and rubber roll all set up on the base, simplify the opening structure and the structure of lid, need not remove by a wide margin when adorn. Because need pull out one section of tiling section earlier when adorning paper, so set up articulated portion in the position department of being close to the paper storehouse groove, the locked portion is located paper exit department, so the opening of side cap and the rotation along the paper width direction have avoided the interference to package printing paper dress paper to improve dress paper convenience. Meanwhile, the whole volume of the handheld thermal printer is small, so that the paper feeding through groove is provided with the wire accommodating groove and the battery on two sides based on the paper thickness direction, and the wire accommodating groove is used for accommodating a charging wire or a data wire, so that the layout of devices is optimized, the space utilization rate is improved, and further miniaturization design of the printer is facilitated. And through the cooperation of well frame, upper cover and lower cover for each device of printer can conveniently be installed on well frame, and the lid of upper cover and lower cover closes and accomplishes the assembly, then makes things convenient for the installation assembly of each device. The side plates of the middle frame are arranged, so that the shapes of the paper bin groove and the paper feeding through groove are favorably kept, the peripheral integral structure is strengthened, the relative positions of the rubber roller and the thermosensitive plate are stabilized, and the printing stability is improved. In the open one side of side cap, the function button of main control circuit board can set up dress paper open-ended one side, not only realizes the hidden installation of button, also makes things convenient for the key operation after the side cap is opened.

In addition, through mobilizable connecting piece, with the second cooperation convex part with have the cooperation of first cooperation convex part to adjoin to, and the support resets and exerts the elastic force to the installing support, can realize then that connecting piece drive installing support and heat-sensitive piece move towards or keep away from the rubber roll, when the heat-sensitive piece kept away from the rubber roll, then can conveniently pass the paper feed logical groove in the beat paper of tiling form, after the heat-sensitive piece is close to the rubber roll and to the centre gripping of beat paper, can carry out the paper feed and print, the heat-sensitive piece of present case rolls back structural design, conveniently in the location of packing into of beat paper, but its adaptation is applied to handheld heat-sensitive piece printer, seat formula thermal printer, the outer defeated paper thermal printer of seat thermal transfer printer. Through the movement of the connecting piece in the paper width direction and the rotation of the mounting bracket in the paper thickness direction, the heat-sensitive sheet can be conveniently retracted or pushed, and the connecting operation of the connecting piece is convenient. The locking piece is connected with lock portion, can keep the position of connecting piece, keeps the relative position of installing support and temperature sensing piece then, improves operating stability, separates as locking piece and lock portion, and owing to connect the piece that resets and applys the elastic force along the paper width direction to the butt portion of connecting piece, the connecting piece pops out then, and temperature sensing piece separates with the rubber roll. The elastic pressing force of the locking reset piece on the locking piece is utilized, so that the locking of the locking piece on the connecting piece is improved, and the operation stability of the equipment is improved. The connecting piece is installed and positioned through the positioning through hole and the positioning blind hole, so that the connecting piece is stable to move and fix, and the end part of the connecting piece penetrates through the positioning through hole, so that the pushing operation of the connecting piece can be facilitated. Through the spacing cooperation of the stopper that is located inboard and the perforation of location, prevent that the transition of connecting piece from popping out, avoid breaking away from of connecting piece. The mounting bracket is provided with the first matching convex part and the avoiding concave part, so that the large height difference between the convex part and the concave part is utilized, and the movable range of the mounting bracket and the heat-sensitive sheet is enlarged. Through the arrangement of the guide inclined plane, the convex part which is convenient to move is matched, so that the stable movement of the mounting bracket and the heat sensitive sheet is realized. Because temperature sensing piece and rubber roll all extend along the paper width direction, through two at least cooperation convex parts that set up along the paper width direction to the balanced support of installing support, also provide balanced supporting platform to the temperature sensing piece.

Furthermore, a lock catch piece is arranged on the side cover in a sliding mode, and the side cover can be conveniently opened and closed and locked by the aid of the slidable lock catch piece for locking or unlocking. Not only carry out the installation location of hasp piece through first constant head tank cooperation spacing post and stop screw to and still slide spacingly through second constant head tank and spacing, still reset the piece through configuration hasp at second constant head tank and spacing inslot simultaneously, realize then that the restoration of hasp piece keeps the power with lasting elasticity. Can lock the position of connecting piece through the locking piece, and when opening the side cap, remove the hasp piece and drive the locking piece syntropy and remove, then make locking piece and connecting piece separation simultaneously, realize the unblock, the connecting piece also pops out the top-opening side cap along with popping out afterwards, and the optimization of its a series of linkage structure is uncapped and is felt, makes uncap and close the lid action more smooth.
