DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
[0040] The principle of the disclosure will be further illustrated by specific embodiments with reference to accompanying drawings as follows, but embodiments of the disclosure will not be restricted as such.
[0041] As the force analysis diagram shown in
f=uF formula 1
[0042] Where u is a frictional coefficient; F is an interaction force in a horizontal direction between contact surfaces, which is equal to the horizontal braced force pointed to the magnetic paper and the magnetic attractive force between magnetic materials of the magnetic paper and the mounting support surface. The directions of the two forces (the horizontal braced force and the magnetic attractive force) are opposite and their values are identical. In order to maintain installation of the product firmly, in the case of a certain weight of the product, the maximum static friction must be no less than the product weight, and the maximum static friction depends on the values, of u and F. The greater the value of the F is, the stronger the friction is. But the stronger magnetic force will bring a lot of other factors such as overlapping magnetic paper attracted to each other more tightly that prevents the magnetic sheets automatically rolling through the printer, the interaction of the soft components in the printing, machine and the magnetic paper makes the printer hardly to automatically feed paper. Considering all above factors, this invention sacrifices the magnetic attraction properly, and raises the frictional coefficient to ensure the friction greater than that of the prior art.
[0043] As the cross-sectional schematic diagram of the magnetic paper product capable of being directly printed shown in
F=B.sup.2A/2.sub.0 formula 2
