[0029] Example:

[0030] See also Figure 1 The embodiment of the utility model provides a printer, including a paper bin assembly 10 and a printer body 20. The paper bin assembly 10 is used to store printing paper. The paper bin assembly 10 is slidably assembled on the printer body 20 to meet the needs of taking and placing printing paper.

[0031] See also Figures 2 to 7 The paper bin assembly 10 includes a bin body 1 and a partition 2. The bin body 1 includes a bottom plate 11 and a side plate 12 fixed to the bottom plate 11, and the side plates 12 and the bottom plate 11 are enclosed together to form a paper bin 13; the partition 2 is accommodated in the paper bin 13 and fits with a side plate surface of the side plate close to the paper bin 13, the partition 2 is provided with a first connection structure and a first limiting structure, and the side plate 12 is provided with a second connection structure and a second limiting structure, the first connection structure and the second connection structure cooperate with each other to limit the movement of the partition 2 along the length direction and the height direction of the side plate 12; the first limiting structure and the second limiting structure cooperate with each other to limit the movement of the partition 2 along the thickness direction of the side plate 12, so that the partition 2 and the side plate 12 are fixed to each other; and the first connection structure and the second connection structure are detachable and assembled, and the first limiting structure and the second limiting structure are detachable and assembled, so that the partition 2 is convenient to disassemble and assemble, which is conducive to changing the space size of the paper bin 13 by disassembling and assembling the partition 2.

[0032] It should be noted that there are four side panels 12 in total, and the four side panels 12 and the bottom panel 11 together enclose a rectangular paper bin 13. By disassembling and assembling the partition 2, two different sizes of printing paper can be placed in the paper bin 13; the partition 2 can be installed on only one side panel 12, for example, the partition 2 is strip-shaped; or, the partition 2 can be installed on two side panels 12, for example, the partition 2 is L-shaped.

[0033] See also Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 5In some embodiments, the first limiting structure includes a fixing portion 211 disposed on a side plate 12 surface of the partition 2 close to the side plate 12, and a limiting portion 212 fixed to an end of the fixing portion 211 away from the partition 2 and having an angle with the fixing portion 211, and the second limiting structure includes a limiting hole 121 disposed on the side plate 12 and penetrating two plate surfaces of the side plate 12 in the thickness direction, the fixing portion 211 is passed through the limiting hole 121, and the limiting portion 212 abuts against a side plate 12 surface of the side plate 12 away from the partition 2. Specifically, the angle between the fixing portion 211 and the limiting portion 212 can be 90°, that is, the fixing portion 211 and the limiting portion 212 are connected to form an L shape; the limiting hole 121 is disposed in the middle of the side plate 12 in the height direction, which is conducive to ensuring that the side plate 12 is in contact with the bottom plate 11. Since the limiting portion 212 and the partition plate 2 are respectively located on the plate surfaces at two opposite sides of the side plate 12 in the thickness direction, the partition plate 2 can be restricted from moving in the thickness direction of the side plate 12 .

[0034] According to actual needs, the fixing portion 211 and the limiting portion 212 together form a buckling portion 21 . When the buckling portion 21 is buckled into the limiting hole 121 , the limiting portion 212 abuts against a side plate 12 surface of the side plate 12 away from the partition 2 .

[0035] It should be noted that, in other embodiments, the first limiting structure may include a fixing portion 211 and a limiting portion 212 provided on the side panel 12, and the second limiting structure may include a limiting hole 121 provided on the partition 2; the angle between the fixing portion 211 and the limiting portion 212 may also be 60°, 70°, etc.

[0036] See also Figure 3 The fixing portion 211 is loosely matched with the limiting hole 121, wherein the fixing portion 211 can move in the limiting hole 121 along the length direction of the side plate 12 and along the height direction of the side plate 12, that is, the outer dimensions of the fixing portion 211 are smaller than the aperture size of the limiting hole 121, which is conducive to the fixing portion 211 passing through the limiting hole 121, thereby facilitating the disassembly and assembly between the first limiting structure and the second limiting structure.

[0037] See also Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 5In some embodiments, the first connection structure includes a connection portion 22 disposed on a side plate 12 surface of the partition 2 close to the side plate 12, and the second connection structure includes a connection hole 122 disposed on a side plate 12 surface of the side plate 12 close to the partition 2, the connection portion 22 is assembled in the connection hole 122, and the connection portion 22 can only move along the thickness direction of the side plate 12 in the connection hole 122. Specifically, the connection portion 22 can be a cylinder, and the length of the cylinder extends along the thickness direction of the side plate 12, so that when the connection portion 22 is embedded in the connection hole 122, the movement of the partition 2 along the length direction and the height direction of the side plate 12 can be limited.

[0038] It should be noted that, in other embodiments, the first connection structure may include a connection portion 22 provided on the side plate 12 , and the second connection structure may include a connection hole 122 provided on the partition plate 2 .

[0039] See also Figure 4 The connecting portion 22 is interference fit with the connecting hole 122 to ensure that when the connecting portion 22 is embedded in the connecting hole 122 , the partition 2 can be restricted from moving along the length direction and height direction of the side plate 12 .

[0040] See also Figure 4 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 , the connection hole 122 penetrates the side plate 12 surface of the side plate 12 away from the partition 2, and a receiving groove 123 is provided on the side surface of the side plate 12 away from the bottom plate 11, and the connection hole 122 is located in the receiving groove 123. The end of the connection part 22 away from the partition 2 is provided with a protrusion 221 received in the receiving groove 123, and the protrusion 221 abuts against the side plate 12 surface of the side plate 12 away from the partition 2. Specifically, the connection hole 122 penetrates the side plate 12 surface of the side plate 12 away from the partition 2 to form a notch on the side plate 12 surface of the side plate 12 away from the partition 2, and the connection part 22 can be embedded in the connection hole 122 through the notch; wherein, the width of the notch is smaller than the diameter of the connection hole 122, so as to prevent the connection part 22 from being separated from the connection hole 122 without external force. The raised portion 221 and the partition plate 2 are respectively located on the plate surfaces of the side plate 12 on opposite sides in the thickness direction, thereby limiting the movement of the partition plate 2 in the thickness direction of the side plate 12, and further improving the connection firmness between the partition plate 2 and the side plate 12. According to actual needs, the connection portion 22 is located on the side of the partition plate 2 away from the bottom plate 11, which is conducive to ensuring that the connection portion 22 is embedded in the connection hole 122.

[0041] It should be noted that, in some embodiments, the first connection structure and the first limiting structure are respectively arranged at the two ends of the partition 2, and the second connection structure and the second limiting structure are respectively arranged at the two ends of the side plate 12, so as to improve the connection stability between the partition 2 and the side plate 12. According to actual needs, the first connection structure and the first limiting structure can also be arranged in the middle of the partition 2, and the second connection structure and the second limiting structure can be arranged in the middle of the side plate 12.

[0042] In some embodiments, the bottom plate 11 is provided with a positioning hole 111, and a positioning portion 23 is provided on one side of the partition 2 close to the bottom plate 11. The positioning portion 23 is embedded in the positioning hole 111, which can not only connect the partition 2 with the bottom plate 11, but also prevent the partition 2 from moving along the length direction and thickness direction of the side plate 12, further improving the connection firmness between the partition 2 and the side plate 12. The positioning portion 23 can be a positioning column, and the positioning portion 23 and the connecting portion 22 are both located at the same end of the partition 2.

[0043] See also Figure 5 The partition 2 is provided with a handle hole 24, and the handle hole 24 and the buckle part 21 are respectively located at both ends of the partition 2. The handle hole 24 is provided to facilitate the application of force to the partition 2 so that the buckle part 21 is buckled into the limiting hole 121. The partition 2 is provided with a clearance groove 25 on one side close to the side plate 12. The provision of the clearance groove 25 can reduce the weight of the partition 2, which is conducive to improving the connection firmness between the partition 2 and the side plate 12.

[0044] During the assembly process of the partition 2 and the warehouse body 1, the partition 2 is held by using the handle hole 24 to first snap the buckling part 21 into the limiting hole 121, and then the connecting part 22 is embedded in the connecting hole 122, and the positioning part 23 is embedded in the positioning hole 111, so as to achieve mutual fixation between the partition 2 and the warehouse body 1.

[0045] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
