DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0027] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. In the description of the present invention, it should be understood that the directions or positional relationships indicated by the terms "upper", "lower", "front", "back", "left", "right", "top", "bottom", "inside" and "outside" are based on the directions or positional relationships shown in the drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific direction, be constructed and operated in a specific direction, and therefore cannot be understood as limiting the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only some embodiments of the present invention, rather than all embodiments.

[0028] like Figure 1As shown, the present application provides a dual-car cleaning device for a digital printing machine, which can be mounted on a digital printing machine platform, including a printing car 1 and a printing car 2. The digital printing machine platform is provided with a driving mechanism 2, and the driving mechanism 2 is provided with two groups. The two groups of driving mechanisms 2 respectively drive the printing car 1 and the printing car 2 to slide. The driving mechanism 2 includes a slide rail slider assembly and a belt drive assembly. The belt drive assemblies respectively located in the two groups of driving mechanisms 2 are driven by the same control motor. The printing car 1 and the printing car 2 are respectively installed on the sliders of the two groups of driving mechanisms 2, and are connected to the belts of the two groups of driving mechanisms 2. The printing car 1 and the printing car 2 can slide simultaneously along the slide rail under the action of the belt, so that the positions of the printing car 1 and the printing car 2 are moderately corresponding, and then the same position on both sides of the cloth can be printed simultaneously.

[0029] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, both the printing vehicle 1 and the printing vehicle 2 are provided with a mounting plate 3, on which an inkjet plate 4 is fixed, and the inkjet plate 4 is used for printing. A number of nozzles are installed around the mounting plate 3 corresponding to the inkjet plate 4, and the nozzles are connected to the water pump through water pipes, and a water mist outlet 10 is provided at a position of the nozzle away from the mounting plate 3. When the printing vehicle 1 and the printing vehicle 2 slide and the inkjet plate 4 is printing, the nozzle will spray water mist through the water mist outlet 10, thereby increasing the environmental humidity around the fabric and the inkjet plate 4, reducing the probability of static electricity generation, thereby reducing the interference of static electricity on ink jetting, and improving the printing effect, and annular sealing gaskets 7 are installed around the mounting plate 3 corresponding to the number of nozzles.

[0030] like Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, a water flow outlet 11 is arranged at the position of the nozzle facing the inkjet plate 4, the nozzle includes an annular seat 8 and a sliding head 9, the annular seat 8 is fixedly connected to the mounting plate 3, and the sliding head 9 is slidably arranged in the annular seat 8, the water mist outlet 10 is located at the sliding head 9, a water flow outlet 11 is opened on the side wall of the annular seat 8, and the opening direction of the water flow outlet 11 faces the inkjet plate 4, the sliding head 9 is formed with a connecting channel 24 for communicating with the water flow outlet 11, and one end of the connecting channel 24 opens toward the side wall of the annular seat 8, wherein a switching component is arranged in the annular seat 8 and the sliding head 9, the switching component includes a spring 13 and a block 12, the block 12 is used to block the water inlet end of the water mist outlet 10, and the block 12 is fixed to the annular seat 8, and both ends of the spring 13 are in contact with the block 12 and the sliding head 9.

[0031] In the initial state, the sliding head 9 slides under the action of the spring and maintains contact with the annular seat 8. At this time, the opening of one end of the connecting channel 24 facing the side wall of the annular seat 8 is misaligned with the water flow outlet 11, so that the water in the annular seat 8 cannot pass through the water flow outlet 11, and the nozzle cannot spray water. At this time, the block 12 will not block the water mist outlet 10, and the water in the annular seat 8 can pass through the water mist outlet 10, so that the nozzle will spray water mist.

[0032] like Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the second printing vehicle includes a fixed seat 5 and a sliding seat 6. The mounting plate 3 of the second printing vehicle is fixed on the sliding seat 6. The sliding seat 6 is fixed with a guide rod 18. One end of the guide rod 18 passes through the fixed seat 5 and is fixed with a stop block 19, so that the sliding seat 6 and the fixed seat 5 can slide relative to each other, and the fixed seat 5 is fixed to the slider and belt of the driving mechanism 2, and the guide rod 18 is provided with a spring 20, and the spring 20 is connected to the stop block 19 and the fixed seat 5. In the initial state, the fixed seat 5 and the sliding seat 6 and the fixed seat 5 will remain in contact under the action of the spring 20.

[0033] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 as well as Figure 3 As shown, a force-bearing member is provided on the outer side wall of the sliding seat 6, and the force-bearing member includes two guide protrusions 14 formed on the sliding seat 6, and the two guide protrusions 14 are combined to form a sliding path, and the sliding path is inclined, and one end of the sliding path is opened close to the printing vehicle 1, and the other end of the sliding path is opened away from the printing vehicle 1, wherein the printing vehicle 1 is provided with an operating mechanism, and the operating mechanism includes a force-applying member and a driving member, and the driving member includes a driving motor 15, and the driving motor 15 is fixedly mounted on the printing vehicle 1, and the force-applying member includes a rotating rod 16, one end of the rotating rod 16 is fixed to the output shaft of the driving motor 15, and the other end of the rotating rod 16 is installed with a protrusion 17.

[0034] After the printing vehicle 1 and the printing vehicle 2 complete the printing, the driving motor 15 is controlled, the rotating rod 16 will rotate under the action of the driving motor 15, the protrusion 17 will rotate and extend into the sliding channel, the protrusion 17 will abut against the guide protrusion 14, and through the interaction of forces, the sliding seat 6 will overcome the elastic force of the spring 1 20 to slide, so that the sliding seat 6 slides in the direction close to the printing vehicle 1 until the annular sealing gaskets 7 respectively located on the two mounting plates 3 are used to abut against each other, and the driving motor 15 stops working. At this time, the two mounting plates 3 and the two annular sealing gaskets 7 will form a closed space, and the nozzle and the inkjet plate 4 are both located in the closed space.

[0035] When the sliding seat 6 slides toward the direction close to the printing vehicle 1, the sliding heads 9 located on the two mounting plates 3 will abut against each other, and the sliding head 9 will overcome the elastic force of the spring 2 13 to slide toward the direction close to the block 12. When the end of the sliding head 9 away from the mounting plate 3 is flush with the opening of the annular seat 8, the sliding head 9 contacts the block 12, so that the spray head is blocked by the block 12, and the opening of the connecting channel 24 at one end facing the side wall of the annular seat 8 corresponds to the water flow outlet 11, so that the nozzle can not spray water mist but can spray water flow.

[0036] like Figure 2 As shown, a drainage component is arranged around the mounting plate 3 corresponding to the inkjet plate 4, and the drainage component is located on the inner side of the annular sealing gasket 7, so that when a closed space is formed between the printing vehicle 1 and the printing vehicle 2, the drainage component is also located in the closed space, wherein the drainage component includes a one-way exhaust valve 21 and a water pipe 22 and a connecting valve 23 fixed to each other, the water pipe 22 and the one-way exhaust valve 21 pass through and are fixed to the mounting plate 3, the connecting valve 23 is controlled by a solenoid valve, so that it can control whether water can flow through the water pipe 22, and a guiding recess is formed at one end of the annular sealing gasket 7 facing the ground, the drainage component is located at the guiding recess, and the one-way exhaust valve 21 is close to the end of the annular sealing gasket 7 away from the ground.

[0037] After the closed space is formed, the water pipe 22 is connected through the connecting valve 23. At this time, the nozzle will spray water under the action of the water pump, and the water will be sprayed on the inkjet plate 4 to clean the residual ink on the inkjet plate 4. The sewage generated by the cleaning will flow to the wastewater tank through the water pipe 22 for collection. After the cleaning is completed, the connecting valve 23 makes the water pipe 22 unconnected, and the nozzle continues to spray water. The air in the closed space will flow out through the one-way exhaust valve 21 until the water level in the closed space completely immerses the inkjet plate 4. At this time, the water injection into the closed space is stopped, and the inkjet plate 4 will remain in contact with the water, thereby moisturizing the inkjet plate 4.

[0038] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and the protection scope of the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. All technical solutions under the concept of the present invention belong to the protection scope of the present invention. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this technical field, some improvements and modifications without departing from the principle of the present invention should also be regarded as the protection scope of the present invention.
