The invention provides multistation
spray nozzle automatic cleaning equipment and a cleaning method. According to the equipment, an
air compressor is mounted at one end of an equipment framework. A pressure reservoir, a waste ink discharging
station, a cleaning fluid circulating
cleaning station and an ultrasonic automatic
cleaning station are formed in and arranged on the equipment framework. A waste liquid groove is formed in the waste ink discharging
station. A circulating cleaning
recovery groove is formed in the cleaning fluid circulating
cleaning station. An ink
pipe is connected with anink inlet enabling ink to enter a
spray nozzle from the pressure reservoir. An ink outlet of the
spray nozzle is aligned with an opening in the upper end of the circulating cleaning
recovery groove.A precise regulating valve is arranged on the connecting ink
pipe. A
liquid level sensor is arranged inside the pressure reservoir. According to the cleaning equipment and the cleaning method providedby the invention, the three stations for waste ink clearing, circulating cleaning and ultrasonic cleaning are arranged,
assembly line type operation is adopted, moving among the stations is achievedthrough transverse moving slide rails and limit switches, the spray
nozzle does not need to be dismounted or mounted again, operation is quite convenient and fast, and the cleaning efficiency is quitehigh.
