[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of printer frame protection, in particular to a protection mechanism for a printer frame. Background Art

[0002] A printer is a computer output device used to print computer processing results onto a suitable medium. Three indicators measure the quality of a printer: print resolution, print speed, and noise. There are many types of printers. Depending on whether the printing element strikes the paper, they are categorized as impact printers and non-impact printers. Based on the structure of printed characters, they are categorized as full-width printers and dot-matrix printers. Based on how a line of text is formed on paper, they are categorized as serial printers and line printers. Based on the technology used, printers can be categorized as cylindrical, spherical, inkjet, thermal, laser, electrostatic, magnetic, and LED printers.

[0003] Currently, many printers use prefabricated frames that are then transported to their intended location. However, during transportation and handling, the frames are susceptible to collisions and falls, resulting in dents or damage. To better protect the printer frame, optimization and improvements are necessary. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a protection mechanism for a printer frame, so as to solve the problem in the background art that the printer frame is easily damaged by collision during transportation.

[0005] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a protective mechanism for a printer frame, comprising: a first frame, a second frame being mounted on one side of the first frame, characterized in that:

[0006] A protective assembly, wherein the plurality of protective assemblies are respectively mounted on the outside of the first frame and the second frame, the protective assembly further comprising a fixed plate, one side of the fixed plate being mounted on the outside of the first frame, the other side of the fixed plate being fixedly connected to a plurality of buffer pads, the other side of the fixed plate being further fixedly connected to two symmetrically distributed short columns, the outer sides of the two short columns being slidably connected to a movable plate, and one side of the movable plate abutting against the outer side of the buffer pad, utilizing the plurality of buffer pads to provide a buffering effect on the internal frame;

[0007] The installation component also includes a base plate, the first frame and the second frame are placed on the base plate, two sets of sliding grooves are provided at the upper end of the base plate, and push plates are slidably connected inside the sliding grooves, and the insides of the two push plates are respectively abutted against the outsides of the first frame and the second frame, thereby facilitating the installation of the first frame and the second frame.

[0008] Preferably, the other end of the short column is fixedly connected to a first spring, and the other end of the first spring is fixedly connected to one side of the outer plate.

[0009] Preferably, a fixed block is fixedly connected to the middle part of one side of the outer plate, two sets of connecting rods are rotatably connected to the fixed block, and the other end of the connecting rod is rotatably connected to the slider, the inside of the slider is slidably connected to the inside of the mounting frame, and a spring shock absorber is used to connect one side of the slider and the inside of the mounting frame.

[0010] Preferably, the upper end of the bottom plate is fixedly connected to the limiting plate, a plurality of second springs are fixedly connected to one side of the limiting plate, the other end of the second spring is fixedly connected to one side of the extrusion plate, and the other side of the extrusion plate abuts against one side of the first frame.

[0022] It should be noted that, in the absence of conflict, the embodiments and features of the embodiments in this application can be combined with each other. The present application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and in combination with the embodiments.

[0023] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present invention, the following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts should fall within the scope of protection of this application.

[0024] like Figure 1-4 As shown, the present application provides a protective mechanism for a printer frame, comprising: a first frame 1, a second frame 2 being mounted on one side of the first frame 1, a plurality of protective components 3 being mounted on the outside of the first frame 1 and the second frame 2, and the protective component 3 further comprising a fixed plate 301, one side of the fixed plate 301 being mounted on the outside of the first frame 1, a plurality of buffer pads 302 being fixedly connected to the other side of the fixed plate 301, two symmetrically distributed short posts 303 being fixedly connected to the other side of the fixed plate 301, a movable plate 304 being slidably connected to the outside of the two short posts 303, and one side of the movable plate 304 being in contact with the outside of the buffer pads 302, so that the plurality of buffer pads 302 provide a buffering effect on the internal frame;

[0025] Specifically, such as Figure 1-2 As shown, the other end of the short column 303 is fixedly connected to the first spring 305, and the other end of the first spring 305 is fixedly connected to one side of the outer plate 306;

[0026] In this embodiment, the first frame 1 and the second frame 2 form the entire printer frame, and the fixed plate 301 and the outer plate 306 form the outer structure of the protective assembly 3. When the outer plate 306 is hit from the outside, the first spring 305 is compressed and recovered, and the first spring 305 that is first recovered plays a certain buffering effect.

[0027] Specifically, such as Figure 2 As shown, a fixing block 307 is fixedly connected to the middle of one side of the outer plate 306, and two sets of connecting rods 308 are rotatably connected to the fixing block 307. The other ends of the connecting rods 308 are rotatably connected to the slider 309. The inside of the slider 309 is slidably connected to the inside of the mounting frame 310. One side of the slider 309 and the inside of the mounting frame 310 are connected by a spring shock absorber 311.

[0028] In this embodiment: after the outer plate 306 is hit from the outside, it drives the fixed block 307 to move inward, and the connecting rod 308 connected by rotation pushes the sliders 309 on both sides to retract the spring shock absorber 311, which has a shock-absorbing effect, buffering part of the impact force, and the other part continues to move inward under the force, pushing the movable plate 304 to move inward, squeezing the five buffer pads 302, and achieving the final buffering effect, thereby reducing the impact force on the fixed plate 301 and protecting the overall frame of the printer.

[0029] The mounting assembly 4 further includes a base plate 401, on which the first frame 1 and the second frame 2 are placed. Two sets of slide grooves 402 are provided at the upper end of the base plate 401, and push plates 403 are slidably connected to the inside of the slide grooves 402. The insides of the two push plates 403 abut against the outsides of the first frame 1 and the second frame 2, respectively, to facilitate the installation of the first frame 1 and the second frame 2;

[0030] like Figure 3-4 As shown, the upper end of the bottom plate 401 is fixedly connected to the limit plate 404, and a plurality of second springs 405 are fixedly connected to one side of the limit plate 404. The other end of the second spring 405 is fixedly connected to one side of the extrusion plate 406, and the other side of the extrusion plate 406 abuts against one side of the first frame 1. The cross-section of the extrusion plate 406 is a trapezoidal shape that is narrow at the top and wide at the bottom, and the contact surface between the extrusion plate 406 and the first frame 1 is an arc surface.

[0031] In this embodiment, the first frame 1 and the second frame 2 to be installed are first placed inside the base plate 401. During the placement process, one side of the first frame 1 and the second frame 2 slides down from the arc surface on one side of the extrusion plate 406. The multiple second springs 405 push the extrusion plate 406 to limit the positions of the first frame 1 and the second frame 2 to ensure that the installation locations of the two are in the same horizontal position. Then, the two pushing plates 403 are moved toward the middle to connect the installation locations of the first frame 1 and the second frame 2 together, making it easier to install the two.

[0032] like Figure 4 As shown, one side of the limit plate 404 is rotatably connected to the side plate 407, and one side of the limit plate 404 is rotatably connected to the limit lock 409. The outer side of the limit lock 409 is inserted into the inner side of the limit groove 408, and one side of the limit groove 408 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the side plate 407;

[0033] In this embodiment, the limit lock 409 is stuck in the limit groove 408 to limit the position of the side panel 407 to ensure the normal installation of the first frame 1 and the second frame 2. After the installation is completed, the entire frame can be directly taken out from the upper end of the limit plate 404, or after the four sets of protective components 3 are installed, the side panel 407 can be unfolded and the entire frame can be taken out from the unfolded position, which is more convenient for transportation.

[0034] The specific solution is as follows: first, place the first frame 1 and the second frame 2 to be installed on the upper end of the bottom plate 401, and the outer limiting plate 404 and the extrusion plate 406 limit the positions of the two to ensure that the installation positions of the two are at the same horizontal position. The staff then pushes the two sets of pushing plates 403 to move the connection between the first frame 1 and the second frame 2 together to facilitate the installation of the two. After the installation is completed, the four sets of protective components 3 are installed on the outside of the overall frame, and the entire frame is moved out from the unfolded side panels 407 for subsequent transfer and transportation. During transportation, if a collision occurs, the outer object will impact the outer panel 306, and the outer panel 306 is forced to move inward, first pushing the two first springs 305 to compress, which has a certain buffering effect. Then, when the fixed block 307 moves inward, the connecting rod 308 is used to push the slider 309 to move on the mounting bracket 310, compressing the spring shock absorber 311, thereby having a certain shock-absorbing effect, buffering the horizontal force during the collision. The subsequent vertical force continues to push the movable plate 304 to slide on the short column 303, squeezing the internal buffer pad 302, and achieving the final buffering effect. Multiple groups of buffering and shock-absorbing methods are used to reduce the impact force on the frame inside the fixed plate 301, thereby protecting the entire printer frame.

[0035] Those skilled in the art should understand that the discussion of any of the above embodiments is merely illustrative; within the spirit of the present invention, the technical features of the above embodiments or different embodiments may be combined, the steps may be implemented in any order, and there are many other variations of the different aspects of the present invention as described above, which are not provided in detail for the sake of simplicity.

[0036] The present invention is intended to cover all such substitutions, modifications and variations that fall within the broad scope of the appended claims. Therefore, any omissions, modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention shall be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
