Abstract
A fixing mechanism for fixing a thermal print head module is disclosed. The thermal print head module is pivoted to a casing. The fixing mechanism includes a base, a linkage member and a plurality of positioning structures. The base is disposed on the casing. The linkage member is pivoted to the base and the thermal print head module. The linkage member is driven by the thermal print head module when the thermal print head module is rotated relative to the casing, such that the linkage member is pivoted to different positions relative to the base. The plurality of the positioning structures is disposed on the linkage member for fixing the linkage member, so as to position the thermal print head module in corresponding positions.

A fixing mechanism for fixing a thermal print head module of a thermal sublimation printer in different positions, the thermal print head module being pivoted to a casing of the thermal sublimation printer, the fixing mechanism comprising:
- a base disposed on the casing;
- a linkage member pivoted to the base and the thermal print head module, the linkage member being driven by the thermal print head module when the thermal print head module is rotated relative to the casing, such that the linkage member is pivoted to different positions relative to the base;
- and
- a plurality of positioning structures disposed on the linkage member for fixing the linkage member, so as to position the thermal print head module in the corresponding positions.
A thermal sublimation printer, comprising:
- a casing;
- a thermal print head module pivoted to the casing;
- and
- a fixing mechanism for fixing a thermal print head module in different positions, the fixing mechanism comprising:
- a base disposed on the casing;
- a linkage member pivoted to the base and the thermal print head module, the linkage member being driven by the thermal print head module when the thermal print head module is rotated relative to the casing, such that the linkage member is pivoted to different positions relative to the base;
- and
- a plurality of positioning structures disposed on the linkage member for fixing the linkage member, so as to position the thermal print head module in the corresponding positions.
