Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of printer cable storage technology, specifically a plastic divider structure for internal cable storage in printers. Background Technology

[0002] Internal cable management in devices such as printers typically refers to the cabling and the cable management structure used to organize and secure these cables. Together, they form the electrical wiring channel of the device, ensuring that moving parts do not interfere with the cables during operation. Ribbon cables are a group of wires arranged side by side, commonly found in the electrical signal and power transmission channels between internal components such as printers, copiers, printheads, and transmission mechanisms. Cable management structures include cable trays, cable harnesses, cable routing boards, and guide rails, used to neatly and orderly arrange and fix multiple ribbon cables, avoiding tangling, wear, or interference. Currently, printer internal cables are usually stored directly, which easily leads to tangling and relatively troublesome maintenance later. Ribbon cables are used to store internal printer cables, with partitions separating them to make them look neat and orderly and facilitate later maintenance. However, there are still some problems in later use. First, when the internal cables of the printer need maintenance after the ribbon cables are stored, the entire cover plate needs to be removed, and tools are required for the operation, affecting the efficiency of later maintenance and repair. Second, after the internal cables of the printer are separated, they are usually simply stored. When subjected to a certain amount of pulling force, the cables are prone to breakage from the ports. The stability of the stored ribbon cables is poor, which reduces the effectiveness and stability of the printer's internal cable storage plastic partition structure.

[0003] Therefore, it is necessary to develop a plastic divider structure for internal cable management in printers. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a plastic divider structure for internal cable storage in printers, in order to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a plastic divider structure for internal cable storage in a printer, comprising an internal frame of the printer, screws installed on both sides of the end face of the internal frame of the printer, a limiting seat installed at the bottom of the internal frame of the printer, guide rails installed at the front and rear ends of one side of the limiting seat, a baffle slidably connected inside the end face of the internal frame of the printer, and a base plate installed at the rear end of the baffle. The top of each base plate is equipped with a cable storage partition assembly, which includes a cable storage partition platform and a cable sleeve seat is installed on one side of the top of the cable storage partition platform.

[0006] Preferably, a knob is installed on the outer wall of the screw, and the inside of the knob is threadedly connected to the outer wall of the screw.

[0007] Preferably, guide seats are installed on both sides of the bottom of the base plate, and the interior of the guide seats is slidably connected to the outer wall of the guide rail.

[0008] Preferably, a fixing seat is installed on both sides of the front end face of the baffle, and the interior of the fixing seat is slidably connected to the outer wall of the screw.

[0009] Preferably, a limiting bracket is installed on the other side of the top of the cable tray platform, and a tightening pin is threadedly connected to the upper part of the limiting bracket.

[0010] Preferably, columns are installed on the lower part of the inner walls on both sides of the limiting frame, and pressure seats are installed on the upper part of the inside of the limiting frame.

[0011] Preferably, guide posts are installed on both sides of the bottom of the pressure seat, and the outer wall of the guide post is slidably connected to the inside of the column.

[0012] Preferably, a spring is provided on the upper part of the outer wall of the guide column, and the spring is located between the pressure seat and the column.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: Firstly, this structure utilizes the threaded and sliding fit of the screw, knob, and fixed seat to eliminate the need for additional tools when maintaining the internal cables of the printer. Simply rotate the knob to release the baffle, and then pull out the base plate and cables through the sliding fit of the guide rail and guide seat. This greatly simplifies the maintenance operation steps and effectively improves maintenance efficiency. Secondly, the structure initially fixes the cable with the cable clamp seat, and then uses the tightening pin in the limiting frame to push the pressure seat. With the help of the spring force, the pressure seat stably clamps the cable. The double fixing method avoids the cable from breaking off from the port when it is subjected to tensile force later, which significantly enhances the stability of the cable storage and improves the use effect of the partition structure.

A limit seat 2 is mounted at the bottom of the internal frame 1. Guide rails 201 are mounted on the front and rear ends of one side of the limit seat 2. A baffle 3 is slidably connected inside the end face of the internal frame 1. A base plate 301 is mounted at the rear end of the baffle 3. Guide seats 302 are mounted on both sides of the bottom of the base plate 301, and the interior of the guide seats 302 is slidably connected to the outer wall of the guide rails 201. Both sides of the front face of the printer are equipped with mounting seats 303. The interior of the mounting seats 303 is slidably connected to the outer wall of the screw 101, using the printer's internal frame 1 as a basic support structure. The screws 101 mounted on both sides of the end face provide the mounting base for the knob 102. The knob 102 is threadedly connected to the screw 101. Rotating the knob 102 can adjust the tightness of the mounting seats 303. The mounting seats 303 are mounted on both sides of the front face of the baffle 3 and are slidably connected to the screw 101. By clamping and loosening the mounting seats 303 with the knob 102, the baffle 3 can be quickly fixed or released from its mounting state on the printer's internal frame 1. The limiting seat 2 at the bottom of the printer's internal frame 1 is used to install the guide rail 201. The guide rail 201 is slidably engaged with the guide seats 302 on both sides of the bottom of the base plate 301, providing guidance for the pulling of the base plate 301 and the baffle 3, ensuring that the movement of the base plate 301 is stable and smooth, and avoiding deviation. The top of the base plate 301 is equipped with a cable storage partition assembly, which includes a cable storage partition platform 4. A cable clamp seat 401 is installed on one side of the top of the cable storage partition platform 4, and a limit frame 402 is installed on the other side. A tightening pin 403 is threadedly connected to the upper part of the inside of the limit frame 402. Uprights 404 are installed on the lower part of the inner walls of both sides of the limit frame 402. A pressure seat 405 is installed on the upper part of the inside of the limit frame 402.

In the partition assembly, the cable tray platform 4 provides an installation platform for the cable clamp seat 401 and the limiting frame 402; the cable clamp seat 401 can initially fix the cable to prevent it from shaking; the columns 404 on the lower part of the inner walls on both sides of the limiting frame 402 provide a sliding channel for the guide column 406, which is installed on both sides of the bottom of the pressure seat 405 to ensure that the pressure seat 405 remains vertically stable when moving up and down; the top clamping pin 403 on the top of the pressure seat 405 is threadedly connected to the limiting frame 402, and rotating the top clamping pin 403 can push the pressure seat 405 to move downward. At the same time, the spring 407 on the outer wall of the guide column 406 is located between the pressure seat 405 and the column 404. The elastic force of the spring 407 can help the pressure seat 405 clamp the cable and enhance the stability of the cable fixation.

[0018] Working Principle: When using this utility model, when using the plastic divider structure for storing internal cables in a printer, first fix the printer's internal frame 1 in a suitable position on the printer. Then, rotate the knobs 102 on both sides of the end face of the printer's internal frame 1, so that the knobs 102 move upward on the screw 101, releasing the clamping state of the fixing seat 303. Then, pull the baffle 3, and the baffle 3 drives the base plate 301 to slide within the guide rail 201 on the limit seat 2 through the guide seats 302 on both sides of the bottom, pulling the base plate 301 out of the printer's internal frame 1. Then, put the internal cables of the printer into the cable sleeve seat 401 of the cable tray assembly at the top of the base plate 301 to complete the initial fixation. Finally, rotate the top of the limit frame 402 to tighten. Pin 403, under the action of the thread, pushes the pressure seat 405 downward. The guide posts 406 on both sides of the bottom of the pressure seat 405 slide downward along the inner wall of the column 404, while compressing the spring 407, until the pressure seat 405 tightly fits the cable. The elastic force of the spring 407 makes the pressure seat 405 continuously clamp the cable, realizing the stable storage of the cable. Finally, push the base plate 301 back into the internal frame 1 of the printer, rotate the knob 102 to move downward, so that the knob 102 clamps the fixing seat 303, thereby fixing the baffle 3 and completing the cable storage operation. When the cable needs to be maintained later, simply rotate the knob 102 again to release the fixing seat 303 and pull out the base plate 301 to maintain the cable without disassembling the overall cover and using additional tools.
