Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of guide rail cleaning technology, and specifically relates to a guide rail cleaning device for inkjet printing. Background Technology

[0002] Inkjet printing is a contactless, pressureless, and plateless printing process. Information stored in a computer is input into the inkjet printer for printing. The inkjet printer consists of a system controller, an inkjet controller, printheads, and a substrate drive mechanism. Under the control of the inkjet controller, ink is ejected from the nozzles of the printhead and printed onto the substrate. The drive mechanism transports the substrate according to the printing requirements. The system controller is responsible for the operation of the entire machine. The inkjet printhead achieves ink ejection by moving left and right on a guide rail. In the existing printhead process, ink adheres to the surface of the guide rail, causing corrosion. However, the existing guide rails require manual cleaning, which is ineffective. If scrapers are added to both sides of the printhead, they can only remove the ink, and the printed material is easily contaminated, but the impurities adhering to the guide rail cannot be removed. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a guide rail cleaning device for inkjet printing. Under the action of the horizontal and vertical cleaning mechanisms, it can clean the ink on the top and sides of the guide rail body, and at the same time clean the impurities attached to the guide rail body, ensuring the efficiency and quality of ink cleaning on the guide rail body. Under the action of the collection mechanism, the ink scraped off the guide rail body can be collected, ensuring that the printed matter is clean and tidy during the printing process.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows:

[0005] A guide rail cleaning device for inkjet printing includes a guide rail body, a sliding seat, mounting plates disposed on both sides of the sliding seat, and a collection mechanism. The sliding seat is slidably mounted on the guide rail body, and a printhead is fixedly mounted on the top of the sliding seat. The mounting plates are provided with a drive mechanism, a horizontal cleaning mechanism, and a vertical cleaning mechanism. A mounting groove is formed in the middle of the mounting plate, and the drive mechanism is disposed in the mounting groove. The horizontal cleaning mechanism is mounted on the mounting plate at the end furthest from the sliding seat and is connected to the drive mechanism. The vertical cleaning mechanism is disposed on the... The vertical cleaning mechanism is connected to the driving mechanism on both sides. The collection mechanism includes a fixing member, a collection cavity, positioning plates installed on opposite side walls of the collection cavity, and a bend installed on the top side of the positioning plate. The positioning plate is slidably engaged with the side walls of the sliding seat, and the bend is engaged with the top of the sliding seat. The fixing member is located on the top of the sliding seat and is connected to the sliding seat. The bend fixes the collection cavity to the sliding seat through the fixing member. The collection cavity is located below the horizontal cleaning mechanism and the vertical cleaning mechanism, and the top of the collection cavity is slidably engaged with the horizontal surface of the guide rail body.

[0006] Preferably, the fixing component includes a threaded rod and a hand-tightening nut threaded onto the threaded rod. The threaded rod is fixedly installed on the top of the sliding seat, and the hand-tightening nut, in conjunction with the threaded rod, fixes the bend to the sliding seat. By cooperating with the hand-tightening nut and the threaded rod to fix the bend to the sliding seat, it is ensured that the collecting chamber can move with the sliding seat, so that the scraped impurities or ink can fall into the collecting chamber.

[0007] Preferably, a clearance groove is provided on the bend, and a countersunk groove is provided at the top of the clearance groove. The clearance groove cooperates with the threaded rod, and the hand-tightened nut cooperates with the countersunk groove. The clearance groove is provided so that the threaded rod and the hand-tightened nut can fix the bend, and the countersunk groove can achieve the purpose of countersunk the hand-tightened nut and ensure the fixing quality of the bend by the hand-tightened nut.

The rotation of the worm drives the worm wheel to rotate. Since the worm wheel is mounted on the vertical surface cleaning mechanism, the rotation of the worm wheel drives the vertical surface cleaning mechanism to work, thus achieving the purpose of cleaning the vertical surface of the guide rail. The drive mechanism ensures the power required for the operation of the vertical surface cleaning mechanism and the horizontal surface cleaning mechanism.

[0009] Preferably, the horizontal surface cleaning mechanism includes a rotating disk, a cleaning plate, and a horizontal plate installed in the middle of the cleaning plate. A waist-shaped hole is formed in the middle of the horizontal plate.

The horizontal surface cleaning mechanism can clean the horizontal surface of the guide rail body. The cleaning bristles can remove impurities or ink from the guide rail body, ensuring cleaning efficiency and quality. The rotation of the rotating disk drives the fixing post to slide in the waist-shaped hole within the horizontal plate. Simultaneously, the sliding of the fixing post drives the horizontal plate to reciprocate. The reciprocating motion of the horizontal plate drives the reciprocating motion of the cleaning plate, which in turn drives the reciprocating motion of the cleaning bristles. This reciprocating motion of the cleaning bristles achieves efficient and high-quality cleaning of the upper surface of the guide rail body.

[0010] Preferably, the bottom of the mounting plate has a sliding groove, which is connected to the mounting groove. The cleaning plate slides in conjunction with the sliding groove.

The sliding column on the other end of the rotating arm slides in the strip hole in the middle of the connecting plate. While the sliding column slides, it can drive the connecting plate to reciprocate up and down. During the reciprocating up and down movement of the connecting plate, it can drive the lifting plate to reciprocate up and down. The reciprocating up and down movement of the lifting plate can drive the bristles to reciprocate up and down. The reciprocating up and down movement of the bristles achieves the purpose of cleaning the side of the guide rail body.

[0069] The sliding column 602 on the other end of the rotating arm 603 slides in the strip hole 6011 in the middle of the connecting plate 6010. While the sliding column 602 is sliding, it can drive the connecting plate 6010 to move up and down. During the up and down movement of the connecting plate 6010, it can drive the lifting plate 606 to move up and down. The up and down movement of the lifting plate 606 can drive the brush bristles 6012 to move up and down.

[0074] Example 1

[0075] During operation, the sliding seat 2 moves normally on the guide rail. When the motor 501 is turned on, it drives the first bevel gear 503 to rotate. The first bevel gear 503 meshes with the second bevel gear 507. The rotation of the first bevel gear 503 drives the second bevel gear 507 to rotate. The second bevel gear 507 is fixedly installed on the rotating shaft 506. The rotation of the second bevel gear 507 drives the rotating shaft 506 to rotate. The rotation of the rotating shaft 506 drives the rotating disk 703 to rotate. The rotation of the rotating disk 703 drives the fixed column 706 to slide in the waist-shaped hole 707 in the horizontal plate 702. While the fixed column 706 slides, it can drive the horizontal plate 702 to reciprocate. The reciprocating motion of the horizontal plate 702 can drive the cleaning plate 701 to reciprocate. The reciprocating motion of the cleaning plate 701 can drive the cleaning bristles 705 to reciprocate. The reciprocating motion of the cleaning bristles 705 achieves the purpose of cleaning the upper surface of the guide rail body 1.

[0076] The output shaft of the motor 501 drives the worm gear 504 to rotate. The worm gear 504 meshes with the worm wheel 505. The rotation of the worm gear 504 drives the worm wheel 505 to rotate. Since the worm wheel 505 is mounted on the fixed shaft 6018, the rotation of the worm wheel 505 drives the fixed shaft 6018 to rotate. The rotation of the fixed shaft 6018 drives the rotating arm 603 to rotate. The rotation of the rotating arm 603 causes the sliding column 602 on the other end of the rotating arm 603 to slide in the strip hole 6011 in the middle of the connecting plate 6010. While the sliding column 602 is sliding, it can drive the connecting plate 6010 to move up and down reciprocally. During the up and down reciprocating motion of the connecting plate 6010, it can drive the lifting plate 606 to move up and down reciprocally. The up and down reciprocating motion of the lifting plate 606 can drive the brush bristles 6012 to move up and down reciprocally. The up and down reciprocating motion of the brush bristles 6012 achieves the purpose of cleaning the side of the guide rail body 1. The cleaned ink and impurities fall directly into the collection chamber 401 to prevent damage to the printed matter.

[0077] Example 2

[0078] In order to scrape off the ink and impurities on the cleaning bristles 705 of the horizontal cleaning mechanism 7, a feeding component 8 is also provided. Under the action of the second spring 803, the moving plate 808 will move upward. The upward movement of the moving plate 808 will drive the upright plate and the feeding plate 805 to move upward. When the cleaning plate 701 comes out from one side of the mounting plate 3, the feeding plate 805 contacts the end of the cleaning plate 701. Under the action of the second spring 803, it can be ensured that the cleaning bristles 705 at the bottom of the cleaning plate 701 are always in contact with the feeding plate 805. The cleaning plate 701 moves back and forth while reciprocating and contacting the feeding plate 805, thereby achieving the purpose of scraping off the ink and impurities on the cleaning bristles 705.

[0079] The above description is merely an example and illustration of the structure of the present invention. Those skilled in the art can make various modifications or additions to the specific embodiments described or use similar methods to replace them, as long as they do not deviate from the scope defined by the structure of the present invention, they should all fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
