Example

[0028] Please see Figure 1-4 The present invention provides the following technical solution:

[0029] An adjustable baffle structure for a printer paper tray includes:

[0030] Paper tray 13;

[0031] The paper tray guide groove 12 is located on the left and right sides of the paper tray 13 to guide the baffle 1 to move left and right along a predetermined path.

[0032] Card slot 11, located inside the printing paper tray 13, is used to fix the position of the baffle 1;

[0033] Baffle 1, baffle 1, can move left and right within the printing paper tray 13;

[0034] Baffle guide post 2, which cooperates with the printing paper tray guide groove 12.

[0035] Anti-slip texture 3 is provided on baffle 1.

[0036] The baffle fastener 10 cooperates with the slot 11, so that the baffle 1 can be stably fixed in the printing paper tray 13 and move left and right.

[0037] In a specific embodiment of this utility model, the printing paper tray 13 serves as a container for holding and transporting printing paper. This ensures that the paper can be stacked neatly and can smoothly enter the printer for printing.

[0038] The paper tray guide grooves 12 are located on the left and right sides of the paper tray 13, guiding the baffle 1 to move smoothly along a predetermined path, ensuring that the baffle does not deviate from the track during adjustment, thus ensuring that the baffle can be accurately positioned to the required width. The slots 11 are used to fix the position of the baffle 1, locking it in place with the latches 10 on the baffle to prevent accidental movement. The baffle 1 can move left and right within the paper tray 13. The width is adjusted according to the paper size used to maintain paper alignment and stability, ensuring that the paper does not tilt or shift during transport. The baffle guide posts 2 ensure that the baffle moves along a straight path, reducing friction and improving the smoothness of the baffle's movement. The baffle anti-slip textures 3 increase the friction between the fingers and the baffle, making it easier for the user to grip and adjust the baffle's position; at the same time, they help maintain contact between the paper and the baffle, preventing paper slippage. The baffle latches 10 cooperate with the slots 11, allowing the user to securely fix the baffle after adjusting its position; allowing the baffle to be quickly released and repositioned when needed.

[0039] Please refer to the details. Figure 1-4 A locking hole 5 is installed on the baffle 1, and a locking spring 4 is connected inside the locking hole 5.

When the baffle moves to the designated position, the locking lock engages with the fixed structure inside the printing paper tray through the locking hole, thereby locking the position of the baffle. The locking spring 4 provides elastic restoring force. When the user adjusts the baffle to the appropriate position, the locking lock 6 will automatically pop out under the action of the spring force and engage with the corresponding structure inside the printing paper tray to fix the position of the baffle. In addition, when it is necessary to readjust the position of the baffle, the user can apply a certain force to overcome the resistance of the spring, causing the locking lock to retract into the locking hole and release the locking of the baffle. The locking lock 6, as the actual locking component, is subjected to the spring force at one end and is provided with a baffle positioning tooth 7 at the other end. When the locking lock extends and engages with the slot or other fixed structure of the printing paper tray, it can stably fix the position of the baffle; when it is necessary to adjust the baffle, the user can manually press the locking lock to retract it into the locking hole, thereby unlocking the baffle. The baffle positioning tooth 7 matches the locking lock 6 to ensure that the locking lock can be accurately locked in the preset position. Each positioning tooth represents a possible baffle position, ensuring that no matter how the user adjusts the baffle, it will eventually be fixed in an accurate and repeatable position to accommodate different paper sizes.

[0041] Please refer to the details. Figure 1-4 The bottom of the baffle 1 is provided with a baffle sliding column 8, and the inner wall of the printing paper tray 13 is provided with a sliding groove 9, and the sliding column 8 matches the sliding groove 9.

[0042] In this embodiment, the sliding post 8 serves as the lower support point of the baffle and moves along the slide groove 9, ensuring that the baffle moves along a straight path during adjustment without shifting or tilting. The slide groove 9 provides a fixed movement path for the sliding post 8, ensuring that the baffle does not deviate from the predetermined trajectory during adjustment. The presence of the slide groove 9 increases the stability of the baffle installation within the printing paper tray, preventing unnecessary shaking of the baffle due to external forces during use.
