Printer convenient for maintaining paper cutting device

Abstract

The present invention discloses a printer convenient for maintaining a paper cutting device (500). The printer comprises a paper cutting device and a movable blade avoiding mechanism. The paper cutting device has a movable blade component (510) fixed on the upper cover (100) of the printer and a fixed blade (520) fixed on the body (200) of the printer, the movable blade avoiding mechanism has an avoiding cover (210) capable of turning upward and pivoted to the body of the printer, and a positioning member (240) and an elastic pressing member (230) which keep the avoiding cover in a predetermined position on the top of the fixed blade. The avoiding cover and the upper cover of the printer are respectively arranged at two sides of a printing paper conveying passage, with opposite turning directions, and the movable blade (511) of the movable blade component is located between the avoiding cover and the fixed blade. When paper is jammed during the use of the printer, the avoiding cover of the movable blade avoiding mechanism is turned by the action of the movable blade or turns automatically, so that a problem can be avoided that the upper cover of the printer cannot be opened until the movable blade is reset to the initial position by hands. Furthermore, the structure of the movable blade avoiding mechanism is simple, and thus the overall cost of the printer is reduced.
