Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of plotter printers, in particular to a cover structure of a front flip-type plotter printer. Background Art
[0002] A plotter is a device that draws according to graphics input into the system and can print out computer output information in the form of graphics. With the support of drawing software, a plotter can draw complex and precise graphics and is an indispensable tool for various computer-aided design tasks. A cover is generally provided above the movable axis of the corresponding nozzle of the plotter, and the connecting lines and pipes are covered by the cover. When maintenance and inspection of the lines are required, the cover needs to be opened to facilitate maintenance personnel to perform relevant operations. In the prior art, there are two ways to open the cover. One is to provide a rotating shaft on the rear side of the cover, and fix the two ends of the rotating shaft to the machines at both ends, so that the cover can be flipped up to the rear side around the rotating shaft to expose the relevant lines and pipes; the other is to remove the entire cover to expose the relevant lines and pipes.
[0003] In both of the above methods, there are corresponding inconveniences:
[0004] 1. The rear flip-up lid can be opened to facilitate maintenance and inspection work. However, since the rear of the plotter is usually close to the wall to avoid excessive space occupation, the rear flip-up lid will interfere with the wall and cannot be fully opened. It is also easy for the lid to fall during maintenance and inspection, and there is even a risk of injury to the maintenance personnel's hands. In this case, if the lid is to be fully opened, the plotter needs to be moved forward and reset after the maintenance and inspection is completed, which is cumbersome, time-consuming and labor-intensive.
[0005] 2. Although the method of removing the cover as a whole can avoid the problem of the rear flip-up type not being able to fully open the cover, for a plotter printer device with a long left-right distance between the printing surface, the overall length of the cover is also long, thus causing great inconvenience in removing and installing the cover.
[0006] Therefore, the existing technology has defects and needs to be improved. Utility Model Content
[0007] The purpose of the utility model is to overcome the deficiencies of the prior art and provide a front flip-type plotter cover structure.
[0008] The technical solution of the present invention is as follows: a cover structure of a front-flip plotter printer is provided, comprising: a machine platform, a rotating shaft passing through both sides of the machine platform, and a cover body rotatably connected to the rotating shaft, wherein the rotating shaft is arranged on a side of the cover body facing the front of the machine platform, and the cover body is flipped around the rotating shaft so that the cover body is flipped up and opened toward the front of the machine platform.
[0009] Furthermore, a crossbeam is provided on the machine platform, the crossbeam spans between two sides of the machine platform, and the cover body is provided on the crossbeam.
[0010] Furthermore, a wire hole is provided on the inner side wall of the machine platform. The wire hole is provided above the connection between the machine platform and the crossbeam and is located inside the covering area of the cover body.
[0011] Furthermore, a nozzle moving module is provided on the machine platform, a printer nozzle is provided on the moving end of the nozzle moving module, and the nozzle moving module is provided beside the beam.
[0012] Furthermore, an air avoidance area is provided between the side of the cover body facing the front of the machine and the crossbeam.
[0013] By adopting the above solution, the utility model provides protection for the lines and pipes on the machine through the front flip-up cover by arranging the rotating shaft on the side of the cover body facing the front of the machine, so that the cover body can be flipped forward for maintenance work, thereby avoiding the opening effect of the cover body being affected by the back side of the machine being close to the wall, facilitating the maintenance and inspection operations of maintenance personnel, and improving safety and convenience. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0015] Figure 2 It is a structural diagram of the cover body in the open state.
[0016] Figure 3 for Figure 2 A partial enlarged schematic diagram of point A in the middle. DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0017] The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0018] See also Figure 1 、 Figure 2 The present invention provides a front flip-type plotter cover 2 structure, comprising: a machine platform 1, a rotating shaft 21 passing through both sides of the machine platform 1, and a cover 2 rotatably connected to the rotating shaft 21, wherein the rotating shaft 21 is arranged on the side of the cover 2 facing the front of the machine platform 1, and the cover 2 is flipped around the rotating shaft 21 so that the cover 2 is flipped up and opened toward the front of the machine platform 1.
[0019] When the plotter is operating normally, the cover 2 is closed on the machine 1, providing protection for the wiring, pipes, etc. on the machine 1. When maintenance and inspection of the wiring, pipes, etc. are required, the cover 2 can be grasped on the side facing the rear of the machine 1 and then flipped forward and rotated, so that the cover 2 is opened forward, thereby exposing the wiring, pipes, etc. under the cover 2, facilitating maintenance and inspection. After the maintenance and inspection is completed, the cover 2 is grasped on the side away from the rotating shaft 21 and then flipped backward, closing the cover 2 on the machine 1, providing effective protection for the wiring, pipes, etc. By arranging the rotating shaft 21 on the side of the cover 2 facing the front of the machine 1, the front-flip cover 2 provides protection for the wiring and pipes on the machine 1, making it easier to flip the cover 2 forward during maintenance and inspection. This prevents the rear side of the machine 1 from being close to the wall, facilitating maintenance and inspection operations by maintenance personnel, and improving safety and convenience.
[0020] In some embodiments, see Figure 3 The platform 1 is provided with a crossbeam 3, which spans between the two sides of the platform 1. The cover 2 is mounted on the crossbeam 3. A wire hole 11 is provided on the inner sidewall of the platform 1. The wire hole 11 is located above the connection between the platform 1 and the crossbeam 3 and within the cover area of the cover 2. The control circuit of the plotter is generally located in a cavity on one side of the platform 1. The provision of the wire hole 11 facilitates the extension of control wiring, piping, etc. from the cavity through the wire hole 11 and moves along the crossbeam 3 as the printing process progresses.
[0021] The machine 1 is provided with a nozzle moving module 4, and a printer nozzle 5 is provided on the moving end of the nozzle moving module 4. The nozzle moving module 4 is provided on the side of the crossbeam 3. An air-avoidance area is provided between the side of the cover 2 facing the front of the machine 1 and the crossbeam 3. The wiring harness and pipeline are distributed along the crossbeam 3, and are connected to the printer nozzle 5 on the nozzle moving module 4 after passing through the air-avoidance area, so as to meet the control requirements of the control circuit for the printing work of the printer nozzle 5. At the same time, the crossbeam 3 plays the role of organizing the wiring harness, so as to avoid the wiring harness or pipeline from causing entanglement or interference with the printer nozzle 5 during the process of the printer nozzle 5 moving with the drive of the nozzle moving module 4.
[0022] In summary, the present invention provides protection for the lines and pipes on the machine through the front flip-up cover by arranging the rotating shaft on the side of the cover body facing the front of the machine, so that the cover body can be flipped forward for maintenance work, thereby avoiding the opening effect of the cover body being affected by the back side of the machine being close to the wall, facilitating the maintenance operations of maintenance personnel, and improving safety and convenience.
[0023] The above are only preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent replacements and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
