[0027] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0028] The following describes an embodiment of this utility model based on its overall structure.

[0029] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, this utility model provides an easy-to-plug copier tip assembly, including a fixing post 9 with buckles 12 fixed on both the left and right sides of the front end face, a limiting plate 13 fixed on the outside of the buckles 12, an arc plate 11 fixed on both the upper and lower sides of the front end face of the fixing post 9, a positioning plate 10 fixed on the outside of the arc plate 11, and a center post 14 fixed in the middle of the front end face of the fixing post 9. The buckles 12 and the positioning plate 10 help to accurately install and position the tip assembly in the copier.

[0030] The buckle 12 is externally fixed with a connecting tube 6, and the connecting tube 6 has a slot 8 inside. The buckle 12 is fitted with the slot 8. Through the buckle 12 and the slot 8, a tight connection between the fixing post 9 and the connecting tube 6 is achieved, ensuring that the plug assembly will not easily loosen during use, thus improving the stability and reliability of the entire assembly.

[0031] The connecting pipe 6 has a positioning groove 7 inside, and the positioning groove 7 is slidably set with the positioning plate 10. The positioning groove 7 and the positioning plate 10 play a good guiding role during the installation process, so that the plug assembly can be inserted into the connecting pipe 6 more accurately, avoiding deviations during the installation process and improving installation efficiency and accuracy.

[0032] A connecting surface 1 is fixedly provided on the front of the connecting tube 6. A threaded hole 5 is provided inside the connecting surface 1. The connecting surface 1 and the threaded hole 5 facilitate the connection of the plug assembly with other components.

[0033] The threaded hole 5 has a threaded tube 4 inside, and a sealing tube 3 is fixedly installed on the rear end face of the threaded tube 4. The sealing tube 3 can effectively prevent the leakage of liquid or gas inside the copier, ensuring the normal working environment of the copier and improving the service life of the copier.

[0034] A slider 18 is fixedly installed inside the sealing tube 3. A pressure plate 19 is fixedly installed on the left end face of the slider 18. A fixing tube 15 is fixedly installed on the outside of the slider 18. Through the pressure plate 19, a certain pressure can be applied to the sealing part after the sealing tube 3 is installed, so as to further improve the sealing effect and prevent leakage.

[0035] A turntable 2 is fixedly provided on the rear end face of the fixed tube 15. A sliding groove 17 is provided inside the fixed tube 15, and the sliding groove 17 is slidably arranged with the slider 18. A spring 16 is fixedly provided inside the fixed tube 15. Through the spring 16, the pressure plate 19 can move elastically within a certain range. When the sealing part is squeezed by external force or undergoes slight deformation, the spring 16 can play a buffering role to ensure the stability of the sealing effect.

[0036] The working principle and process of an easy-to-plug copier tip assembly: This easy-to-plug copier tip assembly is ingeniously designed to effectively meet the needs of frequent disassembly and maintenance of copier tips, while reducing subsequent maintenance costs.

[0037] When connecting the plug assembly, align the front end of the fixing post 9 with the connecting tube 6. The buckles 12 on the left and right sides of the front end of the fixing post 9 fit into the slots 8 inside the connecting tube 6. During insertion, the buckles 12 open and close using their own elasticity, without the need for tools to tighten them. The operation is clear and allows the user to quickly judge whether the connection is in place, avoiding connection errors caused by improperly tightened threads in traditional plugs. At the same time, the positioning plates 10 on the upper and lower curved plates 11 on the front end of the fixing post 9 will slide and cooperate with the positioning slots 7 inside the connecting tube 6 to play a positioning role, ensuring that the plug assembly is accurately inserted. The center post 14 in the middle of the front end of the fixing post 9 can also further assist in positioning. The connecting surface 1 at the front of the connecting tube 6 has a threaded hole 5. After the plug assembly is inserted into place, screw the threaded tube 4 into the threaded hole 5. The sealing tube 3 at the rear end of the threaded tube 4 moves accordingly to play a sealing role. A slider 18 is fixed inside the sealing tube 3. The pressure plate 19 on the left end of the slider 18 can provide a certain pressure during sealing, enhancing the sealing effect. The rear end face of the fixing tube 15 outside the slider 18 is provided with a turntable 2. The sliding groove 17 inside the fixing tube 15 slides with the slider 18, and a spring 16 is fixed inside the fixing tube 15. During the sealing process, the spring 16 is compressed to generate elastic force, which further ensures the stability of the seal. When the elasticity of the spring 16 weakens or the sealing tube 3 is worn, the assembly adopts a threaded connection and a snap-fit ​​12 connection design, which makes the disassembly and assembly of parts easy and does not require professional maintenance equipment. The corresponding parts can be disassembled and replaced individually without replacing the entire plug assembly, which greatly reduces the time and cost of subsequent maintenance. For example, if the sealing tube 3 needs to be replaced, the threaded tube 4 can be unscrewed to replace the sealing tube 3. If the snap-fit ​​12 is damaged, the fixing post 9 can be directly pulled out from the connecting tube 6 for repair or replacement.

[0038] This easy-to-plug copier plug assembly, through its rational structural design, enables quick plugging and unplugging and convenient maintenance, effectively improving the efficiency of copier use and reducing operating costs.
