[0041] In this embodiment, one end of the elastic push rod 3 is provided with a receiving cavity for installing the elastic element 8. One end of the elastic element 8 acts elastically on the receiving cavity of the elastic push rod 3, and the other end of the elastic element 8 acts elastically on the bottom wall of the mounting cavity 7 of the housing 6.

[0042] Door 2 closes and locks onto the machine body. Door 2 presses against the elastic push rod 3, and the elastic element 8 is in a compressed state. When door 2 is in the unlocked state, the elastic push rod 3 is elastically pushed out by the elastic force released by the elastic element 8. When the elastic push rod 3 is elastically pushed out, it pushes the door 2 to elastically open the door 2 onto the machine body 1.

[0043] The housing 6 is provided with a limiting block 9 corresponding to the telescopic displacement of the elastic push rod 3. The elastic push rod 3 is limited to telescopically mounted on the housing 6 by the limiting block 9.

[0044] The elastic push rod 3 is provided with a fastening member 10 that forms a limiting engagement with the limiting block 9. The fastening member 10 and the limiting block 9 form an anti-detachment structure to prevent the elastic push rod 3 from detaching from the housing 6.

[0045] During the elastic push-rod process, the limiting block 9 and the fastening part 10 cooperate to prevent the elastic push-rod 3 from detaching from the housing 6.

[0046] In this embodiment, the fastening member 10 protrudes from the side of the elastic push rod 3.

[0047] The elastic push rod 3 and the housing 6 are provided with a sliding connection fitting part to prevent them from rotating relative to each other. The elastic push rod 3 and the housing 6 are movably connected through the sliding connection fitting part.
