[0023] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 3 The tensioning mechanism 8 includes a screw 81. The screw 81 is rotatably sleeved inside the bracket 11 via a bearing. A handle 82 is fixedly connected to the top of the screw 81, and a limit block 83 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the screw 81. The limit block 83 is annular and is designed to prevent the connecting frame 84 from disengaging from the screw 81. The connecting frame 84 is threadedly connected to the outside of the screw 81, and a tension roller 85 is rotatably connected to the inside of the connecting frame 84 via a bearing. The tension roller 85 contacts the paper 6. A guide rod 86 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the connecting frame 84. A guide sleeve 87 is slidably adjusted on the outside of the guide rod 86. A guide groove 88 is opened inside the guide sleeve 87. The guide rod 86 is slidably connected inside the guide groove 88. By designing the guide groove 88, the guide rod 86 can slide along the guide sleeve 87. The guide sleeve 87 is fixedly connected to the bracket 11. A guide block 89 is slidably sleeved inside the guide sleeve 87. The guide block 89 is fixedly connected to the guide rod 86. By designing the tensioning mechanism 8, the tension of the paper 6 can be adjusted.
[0024] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 4 The connecting mechanism 9 includes a fixed rod 91, which is fixedly connected inside the rotating seat 4. A spring 92 is provided on the outside of the fixed rod 91. One end of the spring 92 is fixedly connected to the slide seat 93, and the other end of the spring 92 is fixedly connected to the rotating seat 4. By designing the spring 92, the force of the spring 92 can act on the slide seat 93. The slide seat 93 is slidably sleeved on the outside of the fixed rod 91.

The rotating seat 4 drives the take-up roller 5 to rotate, and the paper 6 is conveyed below the tension roller 85 and above the guide roller 7 to achieve the paper feeding operation. When it is necessary to adjust the tension of the paper 6, the handle 82 is turned, which drives the screw 81 to rotate, causing the connecting frame 84 to perform a threaded movement. The connecting frame 84 drives the tension roller 85 to move downward, and the tension roller 85 will press down on the paper 6, thus adjusting the tension during paper feeding and improving the paper feeding effect.
[0026] When it is necessary to disassemble the take-up roller 5, simply pull the take-up roller 5 outwards. The take-up roller 5 slides along the rotating seat 4. The arc surface of the groove 96 inside the take-up roller 5 will squeeze and push the ball 95 to move. The ball 95 will roll into the rotating seat 4. The ball 95 drives the slide 93 to slide along the fixed rod 91. The slide 93 squeezes the spring 92 and at the same time squeezes the spring block 94, which can separate the groove 96 from the ball 95. Then the take-up roller 5 can be pulled out from the rotating seat 4 for easy replacement.
