Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of office equipment, and more particularly to a multi-size paper storage and separation device for printers. Background Technology
[0002] In office automation and printing equipment applications, printers, as core output devices, need to be compatible with different paper sizes to meet different document printing needs. Therefore, the storage and management of multiple paper sizes has become a key aspect of ensuring printing efficiency.
[0003] Currently, most office settings store various types of paper in separate filing cabinets, drawers, or simple cardboard boxes. These storage methods require allocating separate space for different paper sizes.
[0004] However, conventional paper storage devices still have shortcomings in actual use. Most storage devices do not have auxiliary structures designed for paper retrieval. When retrieving paper, the upper layer of paper must be pinched to remove it. This causes the paper to wrinkle easily when retrieved, affecting the subsequent printing quality. At the same time, traditional storage devices lack flexible space adjustment structures. When the paper size changes, the size of the internal storage area cannot be adjusted as needed, which easily causes small-sized paper to shake and scatter in a large space, making it inconvenient to retrieve. Utility Model Content
[0005] To overcome the above shortcomings, this utility model provides a multi-size paper storage and separation device for printers, which aims to improve the problems in the prior art where paper is easily wrinkled when being taken out, affecting subsequent printing and the paper storage space cannot be flexibly adjusted.

Then, according to the size of the paper, align and insert the first partition 51 and the two sets of second partitions 54 with the corresponding slots 53 and 56. During the insertion process, the first rubber strip 52 and the second rubber strip 55 will be squeezed, thus making them fit tightly against the slots 53 and 56, keeping the first partition 51 and the second partition 54 stable. Then, place the paper in the space enclosed by the first partition 51 and the second partition 54, and finally push drawer 3 back and lock the latch.
[0025] When retrieving paper, unlock the latch, pull the ring to pull out drawer 3, insert your finger into the arc-shaped groove 48 to select the appropriate amount of paper. When there is not much paper left and it is difficult to insert your finger into the bottom of the arc-shaped groove 48 to retrieve paper, press down on the pressure plate 41 to move the rack 42 downward, which in turn drives the gear 44 to rotate. The rotating gear 44 will drive the rack 45, connecting block 46 and top plate 47 to move upward. The upward-moving top plate 47 will lift the paper, making it easier for people to retrieve paper from the arc-shaped groove 48. After retrieving the paper, release the pressure plate 41, push the drawer 3 back and lock the latch.
