In the above structure, a wire outlet is provided at the bottom of the inner wall of the shell 1, and the diameter of the wire outlet is adapted to the size of the printing material line, and the friction wheel 14 is located inside the wire outlet at the bottom of the shell 1.

[0025] In a preferred embodiment, the fixing pin 9 passes through the outer wall of the fixing sleeve 5, and the top of the fixing pin 9 is provided with an inclined surface, and the lowest point of the inclined surface on the top of the fixing pin 9 is opened in the direction of the spring 2 12. In the above structure, the wire coil 7 is sleeved on the outer wall of the fixing sleeve 5 from the direction of the spring 2 12 and moved toward the fixed disk 6. When the bottom of the wire coil 7 overlaps with the bottom end of the fixing pin 9, the wire coil 7 presses the fixing pin 9 downward through the slope above the fixing pin 9 until the fixing pin 9 is at the same height as the outer wall of the fixing sleeve 5. When the wire coil 7 passes through the fixing pin 9, the fixing pin 9 is popped upward by the spring 10, so that the fixing pin 9 fits with the spring 10, and then the fixing pin 9 fixes the spring 10 to the outer wall of the fixing sleeve 5.

[0026] In a preferred embodiment, a slope is provided on the side of the locking pin 11 close to the spring 10, and the slope is opened toward the bottom of the fixing pin 9, and the bottom end of the slope on the top of the locking pin 11 is close to the fixing pin 9. In the above structure, when the fixing pin 9 moves downward to the slope of the outer wall of the locking pin 11, the locking pin 11 is pushed in the direction of the spring 2 12 by the downward pressure of the fixing pin 9, so that the locking pin 11 enters the cavity inside the fixing sleeve 5 close to the spring 2 12. When the fixing pin 9 passes through the locking pin 11, the locking pin 11 is pushed out by the spring 2 12, so that the bottom of the locking pin 11 overlaps with the top of the bottom extension block of the fixing pin 9.

[0027] In a preferred embodiment, the fixing pin 9, spring one 10, locking pin 11 and spring two 12 are regarded as a flip assembly, and the number of the flip assemblies is three. The three flip assemblies are arranged in a circular array on the inner wall of the fixed sleeve 5. The three spring twos 12 penetrate the fixed sleeve 5 and are connected to the pull piece 8. In the above structure, by pulling the pull piece 8, the pull piece 8 drives the three locking pins 11 to move.

[0029] In a preferred embodiment, a controller is provided inside the speed detector 13 and the drive motor 16, and the controller inside the speed detector 13 and the drive motor 16 is electrically connected to the control terminal 3. In the above structure, the line moves outward from the line outlet at the bottom of the shell 1, so that the friction wheel 14 rotates due to the movement of the line. When the line transmission speed is abnormal, the controller inside the speed detector 13 sends a signal to the control terminal 3, and the control terminal 3 sends a signal to the drive motor 16 to make it work.

[0030] Working principle: when using this device, pull the closed door 2 to open the closed door 2. At this time, the wire coil 7 is sleeved on the outer wall of the fixed sleeve shell 5 from the direction of the spring 2 12 and moved toward the fixed disk 6. When the bottom of the wire coil 7 overlaps with the bottom end of the fixing pin 9, the wire coil 7 presses the fixing pin 9 downward through the slope above the fixing pin 9 until the fixing pin 9 and the outer wall of the fixing sleeve shell 5 have the same height. When the fixing pin 9 moves downward to the inclined surface of the outer wall of the locking pin 11, the locking pin 11 is pushed in the direction of the spring 2 12 by the downward pressure of the fixing pin 9, so that the locking pin 11 enters the cavity of the fixed sleeve shell 5 close to the spring 2 12. When the fixing pin 9 passes through the locking pin 11, the locking pin 11 is pushed out by the spring 2 12, so that the bottom of the locking pin 11 overlaps with the top of the bottom extension block of the fixing pin 9, fixes the fixing pin 9, and then the fixing pin 9 fixes the spring 10 to the outer wall of the fixed sleeve shell 5. At this time, the pulling piece 8 is pulled to make the pulling piece 8 drive The three locking pins 11 move, so that the engagement relationship between the three locking pins 11 and the three fixing pins 9 disappears, and the fixing pin 9 is popped up by the spring 10, so that the fixing pin 9 fits with the spring 10, and the raw material line is inserted into the outlet at the bottom of the shell 1, so that the line is connected to the inside of the printer. When the printer sucks the line, the line moves inside the outlet at the bottom of the shell 1, driving the friction wheel 14 to rotate, and the friction wheel 14 drives the input shaft of the speed detector 13 to rotate, and the speed detector 13 records the line transmission speed. When the transmission speed is abnormal, the controller inside the speed detector 13 sends a signal to the control terminal 3, and the control terminal 3 sends a signal to the drive motor 16 to make it work, and the drive motor 16 drives the screw 17 to rotate, and the screw 17 drives the fixed tooth block 18 to move toward the gear 15, so that the fixed tooth block 18 is engaged with the gear 15, and the fixed tooth block 18 stops rotating, so that the rotating shaft 4 stops rotating, and the transmission to the printer stops.
