[0037] The cabin door 200 is slidably mounted on the sliding track 300;

[0038] An elastic member has one end connected to the hatch 200 and the other end connected to the cabin body 100 or the sliding track 300. In an initial state, the elastic member presses against the hatch 200 to block the hatch 101, and the hatch 101 is in a closed state. By pushing the hatch 200 to slide along the sliding track 300 away from the hatch 101, the hatch 101 is in an open state.

[0039] An inkjet printer of this embodiment has the following technical effects:

[0040] 1. An inkjet printer of this embodiment has an innovative design for the door 200, changing the traditional outward-opening door design to a sliding-opening design. The sliding-opening door design subverts the conventional printer's flip-opening design and provides a brand new user experience.

[0041] 2. In the inkjet printer of this embodiment, when the printer user changes the ink cartridge or removes a jammed paper, the door 200 automatically slides open by simply pressing and pushing. The innovative compatible design meets the functional needs of the user and improves the user experience.

[0042] As an optional implementation of this embodiment, the sliding rails 300 described in this embodiment are respectively arranged on opposite sides of the hatch 101, and the sliding rails 300 have sliding grooves. The opposite side walls of the hatch 200 have sliding rods, and the sliding rods are respectively inserted into the sliding grooves of the sliding rails 300 on both sides of the hatch 101, and can slide back and forth along the sliding grooves. In this embodiment, by respectively arranging the sliding rails 300 on opposite sides of the hatch 101, the sliding opening and closing of the hatch 200 is smoother, and the opening and closing operation of the hatch 200 is convenient.

[0043] Specifically, the slide groove described in this embodiment includes a horizontal slide groove section 300A and an arcuate slide groove section 300B, one end of the arcuate slide groove section 300B is connected to the horizontal slide groove section 300A, and the other end is bent and extended toward the upper side of the horizontal slide groove 300A. In this way, when the hatch door 200 is opened, the hatch door 200 is pressed down and slides down along the arcuate slide groove section 300B to the horizontal slide groove section 300A, and then smoothly opens along the horizontal slide groove section 300A; when the hatch door 200 is closed, the hatch door 200 smoothly moves along the horizontal slide groove section 300A to the arcuate slide groove section 300B and rises to block the hatch 101, so that the hatch door 200 is flush with the hatch 101 when closed.

[0044] As an optional implementation of this embodiment, the slide groove described in this embodiment includes a first slide groove 301 and a second slide groove 302 opened on the sliding track 300, the first slide groove 301 and the second slide groove 302 are independent of each other, and the sliding rod includes a first slide rod and a second slide rod arranged at both ends of the same side wall of the cabin door 200, the first slide rod is inserted into the first slide groove 301, and slides back and forth along the first slide groove 301, and the second slide rod is inserted into the second slide groove 302, and slides back and forth along the second slide groove 302.

[0045] Furthermore, the first sliding groove 301 and the second sliding groove 302 described in this embodiment are arranged in parallel on the sliding track 300 .

[0046] As an optional implementation of this embodiment, the elastic member is a power-assisting torsion spring, one end of which is connected to the cabin door 200 , and the other end of which is connected to the sliding track 300 .

[0047] Furthermore, the power-assisting torsion spring includes a first power-assisting torsion spring 401 and a second power-assisting torsion spring 402 , and the first power-assisting torsion spring 401 and the second power-assisting torsion spring 402 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the cabin door 200 .

[0048] In this embodiment, the inner wall of the hatch door 200 has a first mounting column for connecting one end of the power-assisting torsion spring, and the sliding track 300 has a second mounting column for connecting the other end of the power-assisting torsion spring.

[0049] An inkjet printer in this embodiment realizes a two-way power-assist design for opening and closing by means of a clever first power-assist torsion spring 401 and a second power-assist torsion spring 402, which is an innovation in the opening method of the printer door 200.

[0050] An inkjet printer in this embodiment uses a clever power-assisting torsion spring design to make the printer thin and stylish, improve the cabin door opening experience, and assist the user experience of the cabin door.

[0051] Specifically, an inkjet printer of this embodiment operates as follows:

[0052] When the user presses the door 200 by hand, the door 200 slides into the sliding track 300 under the action of manpower.

[0053] In the sliding track 300, the cabin door 200 is acted upon by the first assist torsion spring 401 and the second assist torsion spring 402, and the cabin door 200 moves along the sliding track 300 to realize the assist opening function and moves to the end of the horizontal slide groove section 300A.

[0054] When the user manually closes the cabin door 200, the user applies a force to the cabin door 200. After the cabin door 200 moves a small distance and exceeds the dead point position of the first assisting torsion spring 401 and the second assisting torsion spring 402, the cabin door 200 will enter the automatic closing action under the assistance of the first assisting torsion spring 401 and the second assisting torsion spring 402.

[0055] Through the design of the above structure, the upper door 200 of the inkjet printer can be flexibly opened and closed, which greatly improves the user experience and satisfaction.

[0056] As an optional implementation of this embodiment, a magnet is arranged on the hatch 200, and a ferromagnet is arranged on the inner wall of the cabin body 100 on one side of the hatch 101. After the hatch 200 closes the hatch, the magnet on the hatch 200 and the ferromagnet attract each other, thereby improving the opening and closing feel of the hatch 200.

[0057] As an optional implementation of this embodiment, an operation groove 201 is provided on the outer wall of the hatch 200 described in this embodiment to facilitate user operation.

[0058] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the present invention and are not intended to limit the technical solutions described in the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the above embodiments, the present invention is not limited to the above specific implementation methods. Therefore, any modification or equivalent replacement of the present invention; and all technical solutions and improvements thereof that do not depart from the spirit and scope of the present invention are included in the scope of the claims of the present invention.
