Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of printer technology, and more particularly to a wire marking tube printer. Background Technology

[0003] In related technologies, the wire marking tube moves and prints within the printer. Due to the relatively long length of the wire marking tube, it is prone to vertical movement during printing, which affects the final printing effect. Utility Model Content

[0004] This application provides a wire marking tube printer that can limit the wire marking tube, which helps to improve the printing effect of the wire marking tube.

[0005] This application provides a wire marking tube printer, including:

[0006] The main unit has a tube-laying groove for accommodating wire tubes. The two opposite ends of the tube-laying groove form an inlet and an outlet. The wire tubes extend into the tube-laying groove through the inlet and leave the tube-laying groove through the outlet.

[0007] The pressure cap connects to the main unit;

[0008] The pressure block assembly is located inside the pressure cap and between the inlet and outlet of the pipe. The pressure block assembly is used to abut against the wire pipe so that the wire pipe contacts the bottom wall of the pipe-laying groove.

[0009] A clamping assembly, disposed on the main unit and located between the pressure block assembly and the outlet, has a first channel for the wire gauge tube to pass through, and is used to clamp the wire gauge tube; and,

[0010] A printing component is located on the host and between the clamping component and the outlet. The printing component has a second channel for the wire marking tube to pass through and is used to print the wire marking tube.

[0011] In some embodiments of this application, the pressure cap is rotatably connected to the main unit, the pressure block assembly is disposed inside the pressure cap, and the pressure cap has a closing position on its rotatable trajectory; wherein, when the pressure cap rotates toward the main unit to the closing position, the pressure cap closes to the main unit, and the pressure block assembly abuts against the wire tube.

[0012] In some embodiments of this application, when the cap is rotated to the closed position, the pressure block assembly and the clamping assembly are spaced apart along the extension direction of the tube release groove; wherein, the distance between the pressure block assembly and the clamping assembly along the extension direction of the tube release groove is d1, and d1 satisfies 1cm≤d1≤5cm.

[0013] In some embodiments of this application, the pressure cap is movably connected to the host, and the pressure block assembly includes a first pressure block, which is rotatably connected to the pressure cap; wherein, the pressure cap is movable relative to the host, and when the pressure cap is closed on the host, the first pressure block abuts against the wire tube to make the first pressure block rotate.

[0014] In some embodiments of this application, the pressure block assembly further includes a first elastic element connected to the first pressure block and the pressure cover. The first elastic element is used to reset the first pressure block when the pressure cover rotates away from the host.

[0015] In some embodiments of this application, the pressure cap is movably connected to the host, and the pressure block assembly includes a second pressure block that is retractably disposed on the pressure cap; wherein, the pressure cap is movable relative to the host, and when the pressure cap is closed on the host, the second pressure block abuts against the wire tube to cause the second pressure block to retract.

[0016] In some embodiments of this application, the pressure block assembly further includes a second elastic member connected to the second pressure block and the pressure cap. The second elastic member is used to reset the second pressure block when the pressure cap rotates in a direction away from the host.

[0017] In some embodiments of this application, the pressure cap is movably connected to the host, and the pressure block assembly includes: a first pressure block and a second pressure block, the first pressure block being rotatably connected to the pressure cap; the second pressure block being retractably disposed on the pressure cap; wherein, the pressure cap is movable relative to the host, the pressure cap is closed to the host, the first pressure block rotates to abut against the wire tube, and the second pressure block retracts to abut against the wire tube.

[0018] In some embodiments of this application, the second pressure block is located on the side of the first pressure block near the inlet, and when the pressure cover is closed on the main unit, the second pressure block is located between the first pressure block and the inlet.

[0019] In some embodiments of this application, when the pressure cap is closed on the host, the pressure of the second pressure block on the wire tube is greater than the pressure of the first pressure block on the wire tube.

[0020] In some embodiments of this application, the first pressing block has a first free end for abutting against the wire tube, and the second pressing block has a second free end for abutting against the wire tube. The first free end and the second free end are spaced apart along the extension direction of the tube-laying groove. The distance between the first free end and the second free end along the extension direction of the tube-laying groove is d2, and d2 satisfies 1cm≤d2≤5cm.

[0021] In some embodiments of this application, the periphery of the first free end is arc-shaped; and / or, the periphery of the second free end is arc-shaped.

[0022] In some embodiments of this application, the pressure cap is movable relative to the main unit. When the pressure cap is closed on the main unit, the pressure block assembly abuts against the upper part of the wire tube to limit the wire tube in the vertical direction; the clamping assembly abuts against the side of the wire tube to limit the wire tube in the horizontal direction.

[0024] In some embodiments of this application, the pressure cap is rotatably connected to the host, and the pressure block assembly is disposed inside the pressure cap. The pressure cap has a first preset position and a second preset position on its rotatable trajectory. When the pressure cap rotates toward the host to the first preset position, the pressure block assembly abuts against the wire tube. When the pressure cap continues to rotate toward the host to the second preset position, the first clamping member moves relative to the host and clamps the wire tube.

[0025] In some embodiments of this application, the periphery of both the first clamping member and the second clamping member is arc-shaped.

[0026] Based on the wire marking tube printer in this application embodiment, this application embodiment sets a pressure block component between the tube inlet and the pressure component, so that the pressure block component and the pressure component can jointly limit the wire marking tube. Specifically, the pressure block component first presses the wire marking tube against the bottom wall of the tube release groove, and then the pressure of the pressure component further limits the position of the wire marking tube. At this time, the position of the wire marking tube is more stable after multiple limiting. Finally, the printing component performs the printing operation on the wire marking tube, reducing the vertical movement of the wire marking tube during printing, thereby improving the final printing effect of the wire marking tube.

[0040] To more clearly illustrate the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application or related technologies, a clear and complete description will be provided below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of this application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0041] In related technologies, the wire marking tube moves and prints within the printer. Due to the relatively long length of the wire marking tube, it is prone to vertical movement during printing, which affects the final printing effect.

[0042] For the above situation, please refer to Figure 1 This application proposes a wire marking tube printer 1, including a host 10, a pressure cap 20, a pressure block assembly 30, a clamping assembly 40, and a printing assembly 50.

[0043] The main unit 10 has a tube-laying groove 11 for accommodating the wire tube 2. The two opposite ends of the tube-laying groove 11 form an inlet 12 and an outlet 13. The wire tube 2 extends into the tube-laying groove 11 through the inlet 12 and leaves the tube-laying groove 11 through the outlet 13. The pressure cap 20 is connected to the main unit 10. The pressure block assembly 30 is disposed inside the pressure cap 20 and is located between the inlet 12 and the outlet 13. The pressure block assembly 30 is used to abut against the wire tube 2 so that the wire tube 2 contacts the bottom wall of the tube-laying groove 11. That is, after the pressure block assembly 30 abuts against the wire tube 2, the pressure block assembly 30 can press the wire tube 2 onto the bottom wall of the tube-laying groove 11, thereby preventing the wire tube 2 from moving up and down in the tube-laying groove 11.

[0044] The pressure cap 20 is rotatably connected to the main unit 10. The pressure cap 20 can drive the pressure block assembly 30 to rotate together, so that the pressure block assembly 30 can abut or separate from the wire tube 2. Alternatively, the pressure cap 20 is detachably connected to the main unit 10. After the wire tube 2 extends into the tube slot 11 from the inlet 12, the pressure cap 20 is placed on the main unit 10, so that the pressure block assembly 30 is placed on the main unit 10 along with the pressure cap 20, so that the pressure block assembly 30 abuts or separates from the wire tube 2.

[0045] Both the clamping assembly 40 and the printing assembly 50 are located on the host 10. The clamping assembly 40 is located between the pressure block assembly 30 and the outlet 13, and the printing assembly 50 is located between the clamping assembly 40 and the outlet 13. The clamping assembly 40 has a first channel (not shown in the figure) for the wire marking tube 2 to pass through, and the clamping assembly 40 is used to clamp the wire marking tube 2. The printing assembly 50 has a second channel (not shown in the figure) for the wire marking tube 2 to pass through, and the printing assembly 50 is used to print on the wire marking tube 2.

[0046] Specifically, the wire marking tube 2 extends from the inlet 12 into the outlet 11, and passes sequentially through the pressure block assembly 30, the first channel, and the second channel before extending out from the outlet 13. The main unit 10 provides installation space and a base for the clamping assembly 40 and the printing assembly 50. The clamping assembly 40 can not only clamp the wire marking tube 2 but also transport it, allowing it to move and print within the wire marking tube printer 1. The printing assembly 50 can print characters on the outer wall of the wire marking tube 2.

[0047] It should be noted that in this embodiment, a pressure block assembly 30 is provided between the inlet 12 and the pressure assembly, so that the pressure block assembly 30 and the pressure assembly can jointly limit the wire tube 2. Specifically, the pressure block assembly 30 first presses the wire tube 2 against the bottom wall of the tube release groove 11, and then the pressure of the pressure assembly further limits the position of the wire tube 2. At this time, the position of the wire tube 2 is more stable after multiple limits. Finally, the printing assembly 50 performs the printing operation on the wire tube 2, reducing the vertical movement of the wire tube 2 during printing, thereby improving the final printing effect of the wire tube 2.

[0048] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 As shown, the host 10 includes a base 14 and a main cover 15. The main cover 15 is rotatably connected to the base 14. A pressure cap 20 is located between the base 14 and the main cover 15. The main cover 15 and the base 14 together form a closed receiving cavity. The pressure cap 20, the pressure block assembly 30, the clamping assembly 40, and the printing assembly 50 are all located in the receiving cavity. The pressure cap 20 and the main cover 15 can be rotatably connected to the base 14 via different pivots. The pressure cap 20 can be fixed to the inside of the main cover 15 so that the pressure cap 20 and the main cover 15 can close synchronously. Alternatively, the pressure cap 20 can be separately set from the main cover 15 so that the pressure cap 20 and the main cover 15 can close independently. For example, after closing the pressure cap 20, the flow of the wire tube 2 within the host 10 can be observed before finally closing the main cover 15. The above solutions can be configured according to actual conditions, and this embodiment does not impose specific limitations.

[0049] Please see Figure 2 In some embodiments of this application, a first rotating shaft 21 is provided on the pressure cap 20, and the pressure cap 20 is rotatably connected to the main unit 10 through the first rotating shaft 21. The pressure block assembly 30 is disposed inside the pressure cap 20. During the rotation of the pressure cap 20, it can drive the pressure block assembly 30 to move together, thereby realizing the contact and separation of the pressure block assembly 30 with the wire tube 2. The rotatable trajectory of the pressure cap 20 has a closing position. Figure 3 The diagram shows the pressure cap 20 in the closed position; when the pressure cap 20 is rotated toward the main unit 10 to the closed position, the pressure cap 20 closes onto the main unit 10, and the pressure block assembly 30 abuts against the wire tube 2.

[0050] In some embodiments, when the cap 20 is rotated to the closed position, the pressure block assembly 30 abuts against the upper part of the wire tube 2 to limit the wire tube 2 in the vertical direction; the clamping assembly 40 abuts against the side of the wire tube 2 to limit the wire tube 2 in the horizontal direction.

[0051] It is understandable that the limiting direction of the pressure block assembly 30 on the wire tube 2 is perpendicular to the limiting direction of the clamping assembly 40 on the wire tube 2. The wire tube 2 passes through the pressure block assembly 30 first, so the pressure block assembly 30 will first press the wire tube 2 against the bottom wall of the tube placement groove 11 to prevent the wire tube 2 from moving vertically. Then the wire tube 2 passes through the first channel of the clamping assembly 40, and the clamping assembly 40 clamps the side of the wire tube 2 to prevent the wire tube 2 from moving horizontally. Finally, the wire tube 2 can stably enter the second channel of the printing assembly 50. Since the moving position of the wire tube 2 is stable, the wire tube printer 1 in this embodiment can achieve a better printing effect.

[0052] It should be noted that when the wire marking tube printer 1 prints on the wire marking tube 2, the pressure block assembly 30 limits the wire marking tube 2 in the vertical direction. At this time, the wire marking tube 2 undergoes a certain amount of deformation in the vertical direction. After leaving the pressure block assembly 30, the wire marking tube 2 enters the first channel of the clamping assembly 40. The clamping assembly 40 limits the wire marking tube 2 in the horizontal direction. Therefore, the clamping assembly 40 can restore the deformation of the wire marking tube 2 caused by the pressure block assembly 30, thereby reducing the adverse effect of deformation on the printing of the wire marking tube 2.

[0053] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 As shown, when the pressure cap 20 is rotated to the closed position, the pressure block assembly 30 and the clamping assembly 40 are spaced apart along the extension direction of the tube placement groove 11, that is, there is a gap between the pressure block assembly 30 and the clamping assembly 40. The wire tube 2 is first pressed by the pressure block assembly 30. The wire tube 2 undergoes vertical deformation at the position where it abuts against the pressure block assembly 30. Then the wire tube 2 moves from the pressure block assembly 30 to the clamping assembly 40. After the wire tube 2 leaves the pressure block assembly 30, the shape of the wire tube 2 is initially restored at the gap between the pressure block assembly 30 and the clamping assembly 40. Then the wire tube 2 enters the clamping assembly 40 again. The clamping assembly 40 can assist the wire tube 2 to further restore its deformation.

[0054] The distance between the pressure block assembly 30 and the clamping assembly 40 along the extension direction of the tube placement groove 11 is d1 (not shown in the figure). d1 satisfies 1cm≤d1≤5cm. When printing the wire tube 2, if the distance d1 between the pressure block assembly 30 and the clamping assembly 40 is too small, the vertical deformation of the wire tube 2 at the pressure block assembly 30 cannot be effectively recovered at the clamping assembly 40. If the distance d1 between the pressure block assembly 30 and the clamping assembly 40 is too large, the wire tube 2 will move a long distance between the pressure block assembly 30 and the clamping assembly 40 after passing the pressure block assembly 30. This will not guarantee that the wire tube 2 will always be in contact with the bottom wall of the tube placement groove 11 in the vertical direction, which may cause the wire tube 2 to tilt upward after moving between the pressure block assembly 30 and the clamping assembly 40.

[0055] Please see Figure 1 In some embodiments of this application, the clamping assembly 40 includes a first clamping member 41 and a second clamping member 42. The first clamping member 41 and the second clamping member 42 are disposed opposite to each other, forming a first channel between them. Specifically, the first channel is located between the first clamping member 41 and the second clamping member 42, and the wire tube 2 passes through the first channel. Both the first clamping member 41 and the second clamping member 42 can provide a limiting function for the wire tube 2. The first clamping member 41 and / or the second clamping member 42 can be rotatably connected to the host 10. Since the wire tube 2 contacts the clamping assembly 40 when it passes through the first channel, there is friction between the clamping assembly 40 and the wire tube 2 during the rotation of the first clamping member 41 and / or the second clamping member 42. Therefore, the friction can drive the wire tube 2 to move in the tube placement groove 11.

[0056] The first clamping member 41 is movably connected to the host 10 so that the first clamping member 41 can move relative to the host 10 and change the size of the first channel. That is, when the wire tube 2 passes through the first channel, the first clamping member 41 can move towards the second clamping member 42 so that the range of the first channel is reduced, that is, the wire tube 2 is clamped in the first channel, thereby increasing the friction between the clamping assembly 40 and the wire tube 2, so that the clamping assembly 40 can drive the wire tube 2 to move more smoothly.

[0057] The first clamping member 41 and the second clamping member 42 are both arc-shaped. When the wire tube 2 is clamped between the first clamping member 41 and the second clamping member 42, the arc-shaped surface on the clamping member contacts the wire tube 2, which can reduce the friction between the wire tube 2 and the clamping assembly 40, thereby reducing the wear of the clamping assembly 40 on the wire tube 2 and making the movement of the wire tube 2 smoother.

[0058] Furthermore, in some embodiments of this application, the rotatable trajectory of the pressure cap 20 has a first preset position and a second preset position. When the pressure cap 20 rotates towards the host 10 to the first preset position, the pressure block assembly 30 abuts against the wire tube 2. When the pressure cap 20 continues to rotate towards the host 10 to the second preset position, the first clamping member 41 moves relative to the host 10 and clamps the wire tube 2. It can be understood that during the rotation and closing process of the pressure cap 20, the pressure block assembly 30 first abuts against the wire tube 2, and then the clamping assembly 40 clamps the wire tube 2. That is, the contact between the pressure block assembly 30 and the clamping assembly 40 and the wire tube 2 has a sequential order, which can prevent the pressure block assembly 30 and the clamping assembly 40 from moving and interfering during the clamping process.

[0059] Specifically, the pressure block assembly 30 first abuts against the wire tube 2, that is, the pressure block assembly 30 first abuts the wire tube 2 against the bottom wall of the tube placement groove 11. The pressure block assembly 30 and the bottom wall of the tube placement groove 11 together restrict the position of the wire tube 2 in the vertical direction, so that the wire tube 2 cannot be displaced in the vertical direction. Subsequently, the clamping assembly 40 clamps the wire tube 2 in the horizontal direction. The first clamping member 41 and the second clamping member 42 together restrict the position of the wire tube 2 in the horizontal direction, so that the wire tube 2 cannot be displaced in the horizontal direction, thereby realizing the complete limiting process of the wire tube 2.

[0060] Please see Figure 3 In some embodiments of this application, the pressure block assembly 30 includes a first pressure block 31 and a second rotating shaft 35. The first pressure block 31 is rotatably connected to the pressure cover 20 through the second rotating shaft 35. When the pressure cover 20 is rotated to the closed position, the first pressure block 31 abuts against the wire tube 2. Specifically, the first pressure block 31 is inclined relative to the pressure cover 20, and there is a first included angle between the first pressure block 31 and the pressure cover 20. When the pressure cover 20 is closed, the pressure cover 20 contacts the surface of the host 10, the wire tube 2 abuts against the first pressure block 31, and pushes the first pressure block 31 to rotate towards the pressure cover 20. At this time, the first included angle between the first pressure block 31 and the pressure cover 20 becomes smaller.

[0061] Furthermore, such as Figure 3 As shown, the pressure block assembly 30 also includes a first elastic element 32, which is connected to the first pressure block 31 and the pressure cover 20. Specifically, the first elastic element 32 is sleeved on the second rotating shaft 35. One end of the first elastic element 32 is connected to the first pressure block 31, and the other end is connected to the pressure cover 20. When the pressure cover 20 rotates to the closed position, the first pressure block 31 abuts against the wire tube 2, and the first pressure block 31 squeezes the first elastic element 32. At this time, the first elastic element 32 undergoes elastic deformation. When the pressure cover 20 rotates away from the main unit 10, the wire tube 2 separates from the first pressure block 31, and the first elastic element 32 can push the first pressure block 31 to rotate back to the initial position under the action of elastic force, that is, reset the first pressure block 31. The first elastic element 32 can be a torsion spring.

[0062] Please continue reading Figure 3 In some embodiments of this application, the pressure block assembly 30 includes a second pressure block 33, which is telescopically disposed on the pressure cover 20. When the pressure cover 20 is rotated to the closed position, the second pressure block 33 abuts against the wire tube 2. Specifically, the second pressure block 33 is disposed perpendicularly to the pressure cover 20. When the pressure cover 20 is closed, the pressure cover 20 contacts the surface of the host 10, the wire tube 2 abuts against the second pressure block 33, and pushes the first pressure block 31 to retract toward the pressure cover 20.

[0063] Furthermore, such as Figure 3As shown, the pressure block assembly 30 also includes a second elastic element 34, which is connected to the second pressure block 33 and the pressure cover 20. When the pressure cover 20 is rotated to the closed position, the second pressure block 33 abuts against the wire tube 2, and the second pressure block 33 presses against the second elastic element 34. At this time, the second elastic element 34 undergoes elastic deformation. When the pressure cover 20 rotates away from the main unit 10, the second elastic element 34 can push the second pressure block 33 to extend to the initial position under the action of elastic force, that is, reset the second pressure block 33. The second elastic element 34 can be a spring.

[0064] Alternatively, the pressing block assembly 30 may simultaneously include the first pressing block 31 and the second pressing block 33 described in the above embodiments. Please refer to [link to relevant documentation]. Figure 1 and Figure 3 In some embodiments of this application, the second pressure block 33 is located on the side of the first pressure block 31 near the inlet 12. When the cover 20 is rotated to the closed position, the second pressure block 33 is located between the first pressure block 31 and the inlet 12.

[0065] Specifically, along the extension direction of the tube-laying groove 11, the second pressure block 33 is located upstream of the first pressure block 31. The second pressure block 33 can pre-press the wire tube 2, thereby pre-limiting the wire tube 2 in the vertical direction. This ensures that when the wire tube 2 moves to the position of the first pressure block 31, the wire tube 2 is already in contact with the bottom wall of the tube-laying groove 11. This allows the first pressure block 31 to provide a smaller pressure to limit the wire tube 2. In other words, when the pressure cap 20 rotates to the closed position, the pressure of the second pressure block 33 on the wire tube 2 is greater than the pressure of the first pressure block 31 on the wire tube 2. At this time, the wire tube 2 is not only further limited to the bottom wall of the tube-laying groove 11 by the first pressure block 31, but also the deformation of the wire tube 2 at the first pressure block 31 is reduced. This allows the wire tube 2 to recover its deformation more easily at the clamping assembly 40.

[0066] Furthermore, such as Figure 3 As shown, the first pressing block 31 has a first free end 311 for abutting against the wire tube 2, and the second pressing block 33 has a second free end 331 for abutting against the wire tube 2. The first free end 311 and the second free end 331 are spaced apart along the extension direction of the tube groove 11, that is, there is a gap between the first free end 311 and the second free end 331. The wire tube 2 is first pressed by the second free end 331, and then the wire tube 2 moves from the second free end 331 to the first free end 311. The gap between the first free end 311 and the second free end 331 can allow the shape of the wire tube 2 to be initially restored.

[0067] The distance between the first free end 311 and the second free end 331 along the extension direction of the tube groove 11 is d2, where d2 satisfies 1cm≤d2≤5cm. If the distance d2 between the first free end 311 and the second free end 331 is too small, the distance between the first pressing block 31 and the second pressing block 33 will be too close, which may cause the wire tube 2 to deform significantly. If the distance d2 between the first free end 311 and the second free end 331 is too large, the wire tube 2 will deform at the second pressing block 33, but because the wire tube 2 is located at... The relatively long distance that the first free end 311 and the second free end 331 move together causes the deformation of the wire tube 2 to recover, but it also makes it impossible to guarantee that the wire tube 2 will always be in contact with the bottom wall of the tube placement groove 11 in the vertical direction. After the wire tube 2 moves between the first free end 311 and the second free end 331, it may tilt upwards. At this time, the first pressure block 31 still needs a large pressure to press the wire tube 2 tightly against the bottom wall of the tube placement groove 11, which causes the wire tube 2 to undergo a large deformation in the vertical direction.

[0068] It is easy to understand that when the cap 20 is rotated to the closed position, both the first pressure block 31 and the second pressure block 33 abut against the wire tube 2. Therefore, there is an interaction force between the wire tube 2 and the first free end 311 and the second free end 331. At the same time, the wire tube 2 will move in the tube slot 11. In order to reduce the friction between the first free end 311 and the wire tube 2, this embodiment sets the circumference of the first free end 311 to be arc-shaped. The arc-shaped circumference of the first free end 311 contacts the wire tube 2, reducing the damage of the first free end 311 to the wire tube 2. Similarly, in this embodiment, the circumference of the second free end 331 is also set to be arc-shaped, reducing the damage of the second free end 331 to the wire tube 2. The first free end 311 and the second free end 331 can be made of elastic material. When the wire tube 2 comes into contact with the first free end 311 and the second free end 331, the first free end 311 and the second free end 331 can undergo slight deformation, so as to further reduce the damage to the wire tube 2 caused by the first free end 311 and the second free end 331.

[0069] In other embodiments, such as Figure 4 As shown, a roller groove 312 can be formed on the first free end 311, and a first roller 313 is set in the roller groove 312. The first roller 313 is rotatably connected to the first free end 311. The roller groove 312 makes the setting and rotation of the first roller 313 more stable. The axle of the first roller 313 is perpendicular to the extension direction of the tube placement groove 11. When the cover 20 is rotated to the closed position, the circumferential side of the first roller 313 abuts against the wire tube 2. When the wire tube 2 moves in the tube placement groove 11, the friction between the wire tube 2 and the first roller 313 will drive the first roller 313 to rotate, thereby further reducing the friction between the first roller 313 and the wire tube 2, making the movement of the wire tube 2 smoother.

[0070] Similarly, a second roller 332 can be provided on the second free end 331. The second roller 332 is rotatably connected to the second free end 331. The axle of the second roller 332 is perpendicular to the extension direction of the tube placement groove 11. When the cover 20 rotates to the closed position, the circumferential side of the second roller 332 abuts against the wire tube 2. When the wire tube 2 moves in the tube placement groove 11, the friction between the wire tube 2 and the second roller 332 will drive the second roller 332 to rotate, thereby further reducing the friction between the second roller 332 and the wire tube 2, making the movement of the wire tube 2 smoother.
