[0036] In this utility model, unless otherwise stated, directional terms such as "upper," "lower," "top," and "bottom" are generally used in relation to the direction shown in the accompanying drawings, or in relation to the vertical, perpendicular, or gravitational direction of the component itself; similarly, for ease of understanding and description, "inner" and "outer" refer to the inner and outer contours of each component itself, but the above directional terms are not used to limit this utility model. Example

[0037] See Figures 1-3 As shown, a roll-to-roll printer frame structure mainly includes a consumables cabinet 1, a main unit cabinet 2, and an electrical cabinet 3, which are arranged sequentially and internally interconnected, forming an inverted "U"-shaped structure. This structural design not only makes more rational use of space between the cabinets but also facilitates the layout and connection of internal components.

[0038] The consumables cabinet 1 is connected to the main unit cabinet 2 via a first connecting channel, while the main unit cabinet 2 is connected to the electrical cabinet 3 via a second connecting channel. Both the first and second connecting channels adopt a rectangular tubular structure, which ensures the stability of the channel and facilitates the installation of internal equipment.

[0039] The main unit cabinet 2 is equipped with upper switch doors 4 on both sides. The upper switch doors 4 are opened and closed by a damping cylinder. The cylinder body of the damping cylinder is fixedly installed on the side wall of the main unit cabinet 2, and its piston rod is connected to the upper switch door 4, so that the opening and closing action of the door is smooth and reliable.

[0040] Both the consumables cabinet 1 and the electrical cabinet 3 have cabinet doors 7 on both sides for sealing. Both cabinets are also equipped with locking mechanisms to secure the doors and ensure equipment safety. Furthermore, both cabinets have inspection doors 6 on their outer surfaces for easy access to internal components for inspection and maintenance; these inspection doors 6 have ventilation holes.

[0041] The frame structure of the roll-to-roll printer in this embodiment can be opened from multiple directions for inspection and maintenance, greatly improving ease of use. The upper door 4 is driven by a damping cylinder, opening and closing smoothly and easily, facilitating operation and inspection of the internal components of the main unit cabinet 2. The cabinet doors 7 on both sides of the consumables cabinet 1 and the electrical cabinet 3, with locking components, ensure equipment safety while allowing for quick opening when needed. The inspection door 6 located on the outer side provides a convenient passage for daily inspection and maintenance.

[0042] Furthermore, the top of the main unit cabinet 2 is detachably equipped with a cover plate 5, a design that greatly improves the convenience of maintenance of the top of the main unit cabinet 2. The cover plate 5 is connected to the top of the main unit cabinet 2 via multiple hinges, ensuring that the cover plate can be opened and closed flexibly and securely. Specifically, there are three cover plates 5, with the central cover plate being larger in volume than the two side cover plates. Because the central cover plate has a larger coverage area, its two sides are connected to multiple hinges to ensure its stability and reliability when opening and closing. The two side cover plates, with relatively smaller coverage areas, are connected to a single hinge, thus meeting usage requirements while simplifying the structure.

[0043] In practical use, when the top of the main unit cabinet 2 requires maintenance, the operator only needs to open the corresponding cover. This design makes maintenance work simpler and more efficient, reducing maintenance costs and time.

[0044] Preferably, the cover plates are adjacent and distributed at the same height, which makes the top of the main unit cabinet present a flat horizontal surface. The gaps between the cover plates are uniform, which not only ensures the stability of the overall structure but also greatly improves the aesthetics. In practical applications, this design is convenient for cleaning and maintenance and can be coordinated with the surrounding environment.

[0045] In this embodiment, the locking assembly includes a locking switch 8 and a locking block 9. The locking tongue of the locking switch 8 can be embedded into the locking block 9, thereby achieving a secure locking of the cabinet door 7. Furthermore, the locking switch 8 is installed on the side wall of the consumables cabinet 1 or the electrical cabinet 3, while the locking block 9 is embedded into the slot of the cabinet door 7.

[0046] Meanwhile, the slots on the cabinet door 7 are horizontally distributed and run through both sides of the cabinet door, while the two sides of the embedded card block 9 are vertically distributed and aligned with the two sides of the cabinet door 7. This not only enhances the stability of the structure, but also makes the entire frame structure look more regular and beautiful.

[0047] In addition, a decorative block 10 is provided on the access door 6, which is aligned with the locking block 9 to enhance the overall aesthetics of the access door 6 and the appearance coordination of the entire frame structure.

[0048] In this embodiment, a control panel mounting slot 11 is reserved on the cabinet door of the electrical cabinet 3. The mounting slot is located above the card slot. This layout not only facilitates the installation of the control panel, but also avoids interference with the locking components.

[0049] The roll-to-roll printer frame structure provided by this utility model presents a neat, angular shape with simple and smooth lines. It also allows for multi-directional inspection and maintenance of the internal equipment. Whether it's the top door, cabinet door, or maintenance door, they are all easy to open and offer ample space, providing sufficient working space for operators. This design greatly improves the convenience of maintenance and reduces its difficulty and cost.

[0050] Obviously, the embodiments described above are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort should fall within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0051] It should be noted that the terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to limit the exemplary embodiments according to this application. As used herein, the singular form is intended to include the plural form as well, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. Furthermore, it should be understood that when the terms "comprising" and / or "including" are used in this specification, they indicate the presence of features, steps, operations, devices, components, and / or combinations thereof.
