Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of inkjet printer technology, specifically to a two-in-one switchable digital inkjet printer. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of digital printing technology, inkjet printers, as efficient and flexible printing equipment, have shown great application potential in the textile printing field. Currently, inkjet direct-to-fabric printers and inkjet thermal transfer paper printers are two dedicated devices on the market. Users who want to use either inkjet direct-to-fabric printers or inkjet thermal transfer paper printers can only choose one of them. If they want to use the functions of both devices, they can only purchase both devices, resulting in high economic costs and a cumbersome usage process for users. Summary of the Invention

[0003] In view of the above-mentioned shortcomings of the existing technology, the purpose of this invention is to provide a two-in-one switchable digital inkjet printer.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a two-in-one switchable digital inkjet printer, including a flip cover, a base hinged to the front side of the flip cover, a paper support platform and a cloth support platform in the inner cavity of the base, a plurality of grooves on the top of the cloth support platform, filter cotton in each groove, a slag collection box on the left side of the flip cover, a switching device on the front side of the flip cover, a dual-purpose rotating rod on the top of the switching device, and a flat surface and an arc surface on the surface of the dual-purpose rotating rod.

[0005] Preferably, the switching device has a base on its front side, and the inner cavity of the base has a step.

[0006] Preferably, a slag discharge pipe is provided on the front side of the base near the bottom, and a corner roller is provided on the front side of the slag discharge pipe.

[0007] Preferably, a blower is provided on the upper part of the base support legs.

[0008] Preferably, a negative pressure air chamber is provided between the paper-supporting platform and the slag discharge pipe, and a sealing cotton is provided on one side of the slag discharge pipe.

[0009] Preferably, the paper holding platform has a paper holding fixing structure on the rear side, and the cloth holding platform has a cloth holding fixing structure on the front side.

[0010] Preferably, the base has a plurality of base ventilation holes.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are: Because of the difference in stiffness between paper and cloth, there are structural differences in printers that print on paper and print on cloth.

[0012] When the printer prints on cloth, the dual-purpose rotating rod - cloth support platform - corner roller are arranged in a "one" shape, that is, on a horizontal line, to tighten the cloth and avoid wrinkles and slackness of the cloth during the printing process; When the printer prints on paper, the dual-purpose rotating rod - paper support platform - corner roller are arranged in an arch shape, that is, the heights of the dual-purpose rotating rod and the corner roller are slightly lower than the paper support platform, so that the paper is tightened and sucked flat on the platform, avoiding bulging, offset, wrinkles of the paper during the printing process and contact with the inkjet nozzle, resulting in inkjet nozzle blockage; The phenomena of bulging and wrinkling will affect the clarity and integrity of printing, and contact and rubbing will also damage the nozzle. At the same time, ensure that the paper and cloth move along the specified trajectory, effectively avoiding damage to the print head. Brief Description of the Drawings

Detailed Embodiments

[0015] Please refer to Figure 1-7 , the present invention provides a technical solution: a two-in-one switchable digital inkjet printer, including a flip cover 1, a base 4 is hinged on the front side of the flip cover 1, a paper support platform 5 and a cloth support platform 6 are arranged in the inner cavity of the base 4, a plurality of grooves are opened at the top of the cloth support platform 6, filter cotton 61 is arranged in each groove, a slag collection box 62 is arranged on the left side of the flip cover 1, a switching device 2 is arranged on the front side of the flip cover 1, a dual-purpose rotating rod 3 is arranged on the top of the switching device 2, and a flat surface 31 and an arc surface 32 are arranged on the surface of the dual-purpose rotating rod 3; The switching device 2 has a base 4 on the front side, the inner cavity of the base 4 has a step 41, the base 4 has a slag discharge pipe 8 near the bottom on the front side, the slag discharge pipe 8 has a corner roller 7 on the front side, the base 4 has a blower 9 on the upper part of the support leg, the paper support platform 5 and the slag discharge pipe 8 have a negative pressure air chamber 10, the slag discharge pipe 8 has a sealing cotton 11 on one side, the paper support platform 5 has a paper support fixing structure 13 on the rear side, the cloth support platform 6 has a cloth support fixing structure 12 on the front side, and the base 4 has several base air holes.

[0016] Working principle: The cross-section of the dual-purpose rotating rod 3 is a "D" shaped structure, that is, one side is a flat surface 31, and the others are curved surfaces 32; based on the above development concept, this machine can simultaneously realize convenient switching between cloth printing and paper printing functions, as detailed below: a. When it is necessary to apply the fabric, switch the dual-purpose rotating rod 3 and adjust it to the state where the arc surface 32 is facing upward. At the same time, the corner roller 7 rises and the fabric support platform 6 is replaced and installed inside the base 4. b. When paper needs to be printed, adjust the dual-purpose rotating rod 3 to the upward position of the plane 31, and at the same time, the corner roller 7 descends, and the paper support platform 5 is replaced and installed inside the base 4. Blower 9 starts working, suction structure: combined with blower 9, air duct, paper support platform 5 or cloth support platform 6 with small holes on the upper end face; The suction structure plays different roles when printing cloth and when printing paper, specifically: When printing on the fabric, the suction structure is used to absorb excess ink that falls off during the printing process and is not absorbed by the fabric. When printing, the suction structure is used to flatten the paper, ensuring that the paper is flat and adhered to, thus ensuring print clarity; When the printer is powered on, paper or cloth is inserted. The switching device 2 is used to adjust the plane 31 or arc 32 of the dual-purpose rotating rod 3. At the same time, the height of the paper support platform 5 or cloth support platform 6, the dual-purpose rotating rod 3, and the corner roller 7 are adjusted to suit the paper or cloth. The blower 9 makes the paper run tightly against the platform. The blower 9 only sucks up the paper and not the cloth. When using the cloth support platform 6, it is used to absorb excess ink. At the same time, the print head runs smoothly above the paper or cloth without contacting the surface of the paper or cloth, so that the printed pattern is clear. After the ink residue is dried by the filter cotton 61 and the blower 9, it is output from the residue discharge pipe 8, so that the paper or cloth can be switched and adjusted in one printer to complete the printing work. When the paper support platform 5 is in use, the dual-purpose rotating rod 3 switches to the plane 31 state and is installed in the base 4. The upper surface of the paper support platform 5 is provided with small holes of uniform size to prevent the paper from bulging, shifting, or wrinkling during printing. The corner roller 7 descends to the same horizontal height as the plane 31 of the dual-purpose rotating rod 3, and this horizontal line position is slightly lower than the position of the paper support platform 5. The ink tray platform 6 is composed of an ink waste tray and filter cotton 61. In use, the dual-purpose rotating rod 3 switches to the arc surface 32 state, and the corner roller 7 rises to the same horizontal level as the arc surface 32 of the dual-purpose rotating rod 3. This horizontal level is slightly higher than the upper end of the ink waste tray. Simultaneously, the heating system of the switching device 2 is activated. The ink tray platform 6 is installed inside the base 4. The ink waste tray is a groove, with the bottom of the groove forming the upper surface of the ink tray platform 6. The upper surface of the ink tray platform 6 has uniformly sized small holes. Filter cotton 61 is placed inside the groove, allowing excess ink to be absorbed through the small holes. After being filtered, the ink is sucked away through the slag discharge pipe 8. The slag discharge pipe 8 outputs and collects in the slag collection box 62; the blower 9 is installed on the upper part of the inner support leg of the base 4, located on the inner side of the connection between the flip cover 1 and the base 4. The blower 9 and the base air hole are connected to the negative pressure air chamber 10 of the cloth support platform 6 or the paper support platform 5. The base air hole is located on the upper part of the inner support leg of the base 4 and is connected to the blower pipe. When the blower 9 is working, under the action of negative pressure suction, the paper support platform 5 can absorb the paper and work flat, and the cloth support platform 6 can remove the excess ink that has not been absorbed by the cloth. The cloth and the whole machine structure are not contaminated by excess ink, making the whole machine clean and free from contamination by excess ink, and the printed image on the printing cloth is clean.
