The clamping side wall 533 of both sides is located the outside of spacing side wall 472 respectively and with spacing side wall 472 clearance fit, buckle 522 passes trough 474 and the spacing cooperation of grip block 53, the post portion of buckle 522 is located centre gripping spout 534, the card portion of buckle 522 is located the below of centre gripping spout 534, then carry out the lower part spacing to the grip block, realize then that mount block 52 and grip block 53 carry out the centre gripping of spacing diapire 473, second tooth portion 532 and first tooth portion 476 elasticity butt, the mount block 52 can move relatively fixedly.

Of course, in addition to this embodiment, the position arrangement of the paper detection assembly and the adjustment chute may also be located on the side of the rubber roller close to the paper outlet, and the position of the printing paper may also be detected. The paper roll frame design scheme and the paper detection component design scheme are also applicable to thermal printers, namely bill and label printers adopting thermal printing paper, and the thermal printer is provided with two arrangement schemes of thermal sensitive sheets and rubber rollers, wherein one thermal sensitive sheet is arranged on a cover body and is arranged on a base, the other thermal sensitive sheet is arranged on the base and is arranged on the cover body, and the arrangement schemes are also in the protection range of the scheme.

It is from top to bottom visible, it is articulated with the base respectively through lid and carbon ribbon frame, and articulate between lid and carbon ribbon frame through the connecting rod, then utilize the base as the support, make lid and carbon ribbon frame linkage relatively independent, when opening the lid, the lid drives the carbon ribbon frame and rotates up and open, the user alright conveniently carries out carbon ribbon and printer change, when closed lid, the lid drives the carbon ribbon frame and rotates the closure down, then accomplish the lid of lid and carbon ribbon frame and close, the mode of connecting rod linkage improves convenient to use nature, also alleviate the rotational impact of lid and carbon ribbon frame, optimize user's use experience on the whole.

In addition, it is articulated with the base respectively through lid and carbon ribbon frame, utilize the base as the support, make lid and carbon ribbon frame rotate relatively independently, because carbon ribbon frame weight is heavier, so make the carbon ribbon frame slowly uncap through setting up gear damper, lighten the rotational shock of carbon ribbon frame, and directly adopt the gear groove to be connected with gear damper's gear when the assembly, realize simple and easy assembly and simplified structure, also make things convenient for in the change of carbon ribbon, optimize user's use experience on the whole.

Furthermore, because the carbon tape frame is along with the lid switching, therefore the drive division detachable through the locking piece adjoins with the base, then realize under carbon tape frame open mode, utilize the elasticity restoring force of elastic component and lock hook portion and second drive gear or drive gear subassembly block, then realize the rotation locking of recovery roller, under carbon tape frame closed mode, drive division adjoins with the base, drive division drive lock hook portion and second drive gear or drive gear subassembly separation, thereby relieve the locking, make second drive gear or drive gear subassembly can normal rotation function, utilize the rotation locking function of carbon tape, avoid the deflection of carbon tape, thereby guarantee the carbon tape and beat the level and smooth cooperation of beating printing paper, in order to improve printing quality and operating stability.

And, through upper and lower pothook respectively with upper and lower spacing slide opening block, rethread drive pothook passes perforation and drive plate block, makes then between drive plate, fender wall and the piece of uncapping all spacing ground clearance fit each other, and the piece of uncapping and locking hook remove under the limited circumstances, when avoiding the part not hard up, can realize stably uncapping and close the lid, also improves the operating stability of part simultaneously. In addition, the assembly stability of the cover opening part on the cover body is further improved through the positioning of the mounting groove and the positioning step. And, through last spacing slide opening and perforation intercommunication, it is more convenient when assembling spacing punch combination to open the lid then, avoids the screens assembly not in good order, is connected with the drive pothook through the cooperation step of drive plate moreover for drive pothook and cooperation step are when spacing cooperation, guarantee both when drive and removal, and the separation of not misplacing guarantees connection stability.

In addition, generally when pulling the scroll frame along the paper width direction transversely, can form the horizontal deformation of certain degree to the scroll frame, then through the rotation piece of winding vertical direction pivoted for rotate the piece and be located the cooperation lateral wall roll cooperation of horizontal one side, the friction that can significantly reduce, thereby make the scroll frame can smoothly remove along first spout, thereby it avoids the card to optimize to pull to feel, and it is more convenient when making the user erect the scroll.

Moreover, connect between installation piece and grip block through the elastic component, utilize second tooth portion and first tooth portion elasticity butt, then the installation piece not only can conveniently remove the regulation in adjusting the spout, and the tooth portion of elasticity butt promotes to adjust and feels, avoids removing the card and pause, and the mounting hole also the position relatively stable fixed to improve and detect position stability.
