Tape drum 1 is so constructed, so that cover frame frame 3 is attachable to body frame 2 and from body frame 2 separately, so that can replace type belt 4 by enough new bands, China ink is with 5 and double-sided adhesive tape 6.Shown in Fig. 2 A, the base plate 2a of body frame 2 and sidewall 2b are provided with a plurality of with suitable interval boss 30a, 30b, 30c, 30d, 30e and 30f at interval.By passing all boss (30a, 30b, the 30c of the correspondence that is formed on as shown in Figure 4,30d, 30e, all holes (not shown) of position 30f), with a plurality of screw 31a, 31b, 31c, 31d, 31e and 31f are screwed into all boss (30a, 30b, 30c, 30d, 30e, 30f), cover frame frame 3 is attached to body frame 2.
Fig. 5 A and 5B are the schematic diagrames along the tape drum shown in the arrow Va-Va indicated direction in Fig. 2 A, wherein, the cover frame frame 3 among Fig. 5 A separately from body frame 2, and the attached body frame 2 of cover frame frame 3 in Fig. 5 B.Fig. 5 C is the cross-sectional view along a part of tape drum 1 of the intercepting of the line Vc-Vc shown in Fig. 5 B.Fig. 5 D is the cross-sectional view along a part of tape drum 1 of the intercepting of the line Vd-Vd shown in Fig. 5 C.
As Fig. 5 A-5D, shown in 2A and the 2B, the sidewall 2b of body frame 2 (except a side that is formed with jag part 16) is provided with a plurality of suitable intervals rectangle first pin hole 34 at interval.Simultaneously, cover frame frame 3 is provided with a plurality of arms 35 of giving prominence to (towards body frame 2) from the periphery of top board 3a downwards.Each arm 35 is thin tabular elements.At the end of each arm 35, be formed with a latch 36 that engages separably with a corresponding pin hole 34.One sidewall 3b of cover frame frame 3 is provided with a plurality of slit 3c in the position that forms arm 35.Therefore, each arm 35 is not connected with sidewall 3b, and only is connected with cover frame frame 3 along its longitudinal direction in its end, and thus, each arm 35 is easily towards the inside bend of tape drum 1.
Each arm 35 is provided with a cover part 43.Cover part 43 is integrally formed so that around latch 36 with arm 35, and like this, when latch 36 engaged pin hole 34, it can cover the slit between latch 36 and the pin hole 34.For example, when the opening of pin hole 34 is one L * L square, form cover part 43 so that its length L 2 and width L3 will be all greater than L1 (L2>L1, L3>L1).
Sidewall 2b has the step part 44 (width: L1) that stretch out from pin hole 34 towards base plate 2a.Because finishing is placed on the mould of body frame 2 mould interior, that be used for forming pin hole 34, step part 44 is all grooves that form during body frame 2 castings.Because the existence of each step part 44, the lower end 43a of each cover part 43 forms step shape, and like this, it also can cover the lower end (seeing Fig. 5 C) of pin hole 34.
When cover frame frame 3 is attached to body frame 2 when covering the open side of body frame 2, the arm 35 of cover frame frame 3 is placed along the inner surface of the sidewall 2b of body frame 2, and latch 36 is engaged with pin hole 34.
Fig. 6 is the stereogram that the arm 35 that engages with pin hole 34 is shown.Because the area of pin hole 34 is generally greater than the area of latch 36, so, there are certain slit or gap between latch 36 and the pin hole 34.Yet pin hole 34 is fully covered by latch 36 and the cover part 43 greater than the area of pin hole 34 that is formed on around the latch 36, like this, can avoid dust and impurity in pin hole 34 intrudes into tape drum 1.Incidentally, the formation of cover part 43 can not increase the manufacturing cost of a lot of tape drums, because cover part 43 is integrally formed by injection molding and arm.
In addition, because arm 35 places along the inside surface of side wall of body frame 2, the user of operation tape drum 1 prevents his/her finger contact arm 35 and the arm 35 or throw off latches 36 from pin hole 34 of fractureing thus.In addition, even the user oppresses pin hole 34 with finger from the outside, latch 36 can not released pin hole 34 yet, because pin hole 34 forms the size less than people's finger.
Body frame 2 is provided with leader 45, when cover frame frame 3 is attached to body frame 2, is used for guiding arm 35 to pin hole 34.Leader 45 can realize that protrusion is formed on the sidewall 2b inner surface by a pair of long protrusion, on the both sides near the pin hole 34 shown in Fig. 5 C and 5D.This leader 45 is formed on the body frame 2, is convenient to engaging of latch 36 and pin hole 34.
Fig. 5 E is the cross-sectional view corresponding to Fig. 5 D, and another example of leader is shown.Shown in Fig. 5 E, it also might form a pair of groove 145 on the both sides of each pin hole 34, as the leader on sidewall 2b, to replace long and thin protrusion.Like this, be used for being formed on the arm 35 along the pair of protrusions 35a that groove 145 slides.Incidentally, leader 45 (145) not only is convenient to engaging of arm 35 and pin hole 34, but also help to prevent that dust and impurity from intruding in the tape drum 1, because leader 45 increases the dust of 1 inboard and the length of the narrow slot (path) that impurity must pass through from pin hole 34 to tape drum.
Fig. 7 A illustrates a remodeling of arm 35.Fig. 7 B is the cross-sectional view along the intercepting of the line VIIb-VIIb shown in Fig. 7 A.Fig. 7 C is the cross-sectional view along the intercepting of the line VIIc-VIIc shown in Fig. 7 A.In Fig. 7 A-7C, element same as described above is basically indicated with identical label.
Arm 135 shown in Fig. 7 A is formed with a width L2, and it is substantially equal to the width L1 of pin hole 34.In addition, cover part 43 is formed on a part of arm 135 under the latch 36.Except above main points, arm 135 constitutes in the mode identical with the arm 35 shown in Fig. 5 A basically.
Shown in Fig. 7 A, the also available cover part 43 of arm 135 covers the open side of pin hole 34, thus, prevents that dust and impurity are in pin hole 34 intrusion tape drums 1.
Shown in Fig. 2 A and 3, second pin hole 37 is formed on the sidewall 2b and 2c on the side of body frame 2, and jag part 16 is formed in the body frame 2.In addition, on the base plate 2a of body frame 2, contiguous each second pin hole 37 is formed with a type framework 40.Each type framework 40 be arranged in parallel to keep a predetermined gap with sidewall 2b (or 2c), and like this, the arm 42 with hook 41 (explaining after a while) can be inserted between sidewall 2b (or 2c) and the door type framework 40.
Fig. 8 is the stereogram that a type framework 40 and a part of arm 42 are shown.As shown in Figure 8, door type framework 40 comprises left post and right post 40b, the 40b that is provided with predetermined distance, and the crossbeam 40a on the top of joint pin 40b, 40b.
Fig. 9 A and 9B are the schematic diagrames that the door type framework 40 that engages with arm 42 is shown, and wherein, Fig. 9 A illustrates along the cross section of the intercepting of the line IXa-IXa shown in Fig. 9 B, and Fig. 9 B illustrates along the cross section of the intercepting of the line IXb-IXb shown in Fig. 9 A.
Shown in Fig. 9 B, the lower surface of crossbeam 40a is with identical with the upper end of second pin hole 37 basically height location.The lower surface of crossbeam 40a hereinafter will be referred to as " auxiliary bonding part 39 ".
Get back to Fig. 8, inclined- plane 47,47 is formed on the right post of a type framework 40 and left post 40b, 40b on the side of sidewall 2b (or 2c).Form each inclined-plane 47 so that its when up (when its distance from the base plate 2a of body frame 2 increases) it is more near sidewall 2b (or 2c).When hook 41 when assist in engagement part 39 breaks away from, can use inclined- plane 47,47, this will explain hereinafter.
Shown in Fig. 9 A, each arm 42 stretches out from the periphery downward (towards body frame 2) of the top board 3a of cover frame frame 3.Arm 42 forms with cover frame frame 3.At the end of arm 42, hook 41 forms has an arrow shape section shape, so that it is not that to engage with second pin hole 37 be exactly to engage with assist in engagement part 39.In other words, hook 41 has a latch part 41a who protrudes in the side, and engaging with second pin hole 37, and one protrude into the interior latch part 41b of opposite side, to engage with assist in engagement part 39, as shown in Figure 8.
Incidentally, the sidewall 3b of cover frame frame 3 is provided with slit 3d in the position that forms arm 42.Therefore, each arm 42 is not to be connected with sidewall 3b, and only in its end along its longitudinally direction be connected with cover frame frame 3, thus, each arm 42 is easily towards the inside bend of tape drum 1.
Shown in Fig. 9 B, when cover frame frame 3 is attached to body frame 2, in each arm 42 is inserted into slit between sidewall 2b (or 2c) and the door type framework 40 from the top, usually, latch part 41a engages with second pin hole 37, by like this, cover frame frame 3 firmly is fixed to body frame 2, and does not have danger separately.
Because cover frame frame 3 is as described above by the injection molding manufacturing, so arm 42 can form to the inboard of cover frame frame 3, and is indicated as Fig. 9 B double dot dash line.Simultaneously, when cover frame frame 3 when body frame 2 is separated, each arm 42 must curve inwardly so that latch part 41a breaks away from from second pin hole 37.Like this, arm 42 can stand plastic deformation, thus, tilts along the direction (double dot dash line among Fig. 9 B) of separating with second pin hole 37.Because arm 42 tilts in this wise, latch part 41a can not engage with second pin hole 37 again.
Yet, in the tape drum 1 in this embodiment, when arm 42 tilt as described above and with sidewall 2b (or 2c) when separating, another latch part 41b engages with the assist in engagement part 39 of door type framework 40.Therefore, cover frame frame 3 firmly is fixed to body frame 2, and can not reach requirement.
In the tape drum 1 of this embodiment, when type belt 4, China ink is with 5 and double-sided adhesive tape 6 when exhausting, the user carries the dealer of not reusable tape drum 1 to appointment, pay a suitable price, and require to replace the type belt 4 of tape drum 1, China ink to be with 5 and double-sided adhesive tape 6 with new band.The manufacturer that is responsible for replacing can refill tape drum 1 with new band by cover frame frame 3 is separated from body frame 2.Cover frame frame 3 can be implemented by following program from the dismounting of body frame 2.
At first, be placed in a supporting 100 with a plurality of protrusions that are used to locate 101 with (empty) tape drum 1 of crossing, as shown in figure 10.Tape drum 1 is placed between the protrusion 101 of location and does not maintain thus and can move in supporting 100.
In four sidepieces of supporting 100 each is being provided with a cavity 102 corresponding to one position in first and second pin holes 34 and 37 of tape drum 1.Aiding support 103 is removably attached to each cavity 102.One first push rod 104 is attached to each aiding support 103, with along basically with the direction of the sidewall 2b quadrature of body frame 2 slidably.
