Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of office printers, and in particular to an intelligent office printer and consumables monitoring system based on the Internet of Things. Background Art

[0002] As we all know, in modern office environments, smart office printers based on the Internet of Things are commonly used equipment, and the performance and status of their consumables have an important impact on print quality and work efficiency. At present, office printers on the market have made certain progress in consumables monitoring. Most printers can monitor the remaining toner through built-in sensors or software systems, so that users can understand the toner usage in time and replace it, which improves the convenience of office work to a certain extent.

[0003] However, the existing technology has obvious limitations in terms of consumables monitoring. The current monitoring focus is mainly on the toner residue, but the quality characteristics of the toner, especially the uniformity of the toner particle size, are rarely paid attention to or are difficult to monitor effectively. The uniformity of the toner particle size is one of the key factors affecting printing quality; uneven toner particles may cause the printed text or images to appear blurred, uneven in color, and different in depth, seriously affecting the printing effect and the readability of the document. In addition, uneven toner particles may cause additional wear on the internal components of the printer, shorten the service life of the printer, and increase maintenance costs. Summary of the invention

[0004] 1. Technical issues to be solved

[0005] In view of the deficiencies in the prior art, the present invention provides an intelligent office printer and consumables monitoring system based on the Internet of Things, which has the advantages of realizing efficient and accurate monitoring of the uniformity of toner particle size, avoiding interference caused by toner particle agglomeration, and providing users with reliable toner quality information.

[0006] (II) Technical solution

[0007] The above technical objectives of the present invention are achieved through the following technical solutions: an intelligent office printer and consumables monitoring system based on the Internet of Things, comprising a printer body, a carrying frame is arranged inside the printer body, and ink cartridges are arranged on both sides of the carrying frame, and a toner particle monitoring structure is arranged on the top of the ink cartridge;

[0008] The toner particle monitoring structure includes an installation box, which is arranged on the top of the ink cartridge, and the rear side of the installation box is bolted with an installation frame, and a separation component is slidably arranged inside the installation frame, the front side of the separation component is bolted with a collection frame, and the bottom of the collection frame is connected to a bellows, the other end of the bellows is connected to a collection barrel, and a weighing sensor is arranged inside the collection barrel, the front side of the installation box is rotatably connected with a distribution component, and the distribution component is connected to the separation component, and the collection barrel is used in conjunction with the distribution component.

[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, by setting up a toner particle monitoring structure, and through the coordinated work of separation components, distribution components and related auxiliary components, the effective separation, precise detection and reasonable distribution of toner particles are achieved. It can not only accurately monitor the uniformity of toner particle size, provide users with key information on toner quality, help improve print quality, and reduce problems such as blurred text and uneven color caused by uneven toner particles; it can also protect the internal components of the printer to a certain extent, extend the service life of the printer, and reduce maintenance costs.

[0010] The present invention is further configured as follows: the number of the separation frames is three, and they are stacked inside the installation frame, the separation accuracy of the sieve plates increases downwards, and the interior of the bottom sieve plate is a sealed hole structure.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, through three stacked separation structures with successively increasing sieve plate separation accuracy, the toner can be separated in multiple levels and more finely, thereby improving the detection accuracy of the toner particle uniformity and ensuring that the distribution of the toner particles can be analyzed more accurately.

[0012] The present invention is further configured as follows: the striking piece includes a fixed block, the fixed block is located at the four corners of the bottom of the separation frame, and the fixed block is bolted to the side of the inner wall of the mounting frame close to the fixed block, a capsule is arranged inside the fixed block, and a moving rod is slidably arranged inside the fixed block, one end of the moving rod is bolted to a push plate, and the side of the push plate close to the capsule contacts with it, a reset spring is sleeved on the surface of the moving rod, and the side of the reset spring close to the push plate and the inner wall of the fixed block are respectively connected to the two, a guide cylinder is bolted to the top of the fixed block, and a striking rod is slidably arranged inside the guide cylinder, the bottom of the striking rod extends to the inside of the capsule, the bottom of the fixed cylinder is connected to the capsule, and the striking rod is used in conjunction with the screen plate.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, a striking piece is set, and when the slide plate drives the separation frame to move back and forth, it will produce a pushing motion on the moving rod, so that the moving rod moves in the fixed block and the push plate moves while the reset spring contracts. The movement of the push plate will squeeze the capsule, so that the compressed gas filled inside will squeeze the striking rod to rise in the guide tube, thereby impacting the sieve plate, thereby causing the sieve plate to vibrate, and the striking will loosen the toner particles on the sieve plate to prevent blockage, thereby ensuring that the toner can pass through the sieve plate smoothly for separation, and the toner particles can be screened evenly and quickly on the sieve.

[0014] The present invention is further configured as follows: synchronization plates are bolted to the four corners of the bottom of the separation frame, and the synchronization plates are used in conjunction with the moving rods.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, the synchronous plate and the moving rod cooperate to ensure that the striking parts at the four corners of the bottom of the separation frame work synchronously, so that the screen plate is subjected to uniform striking force, further improving the separation effect of the screen plate and ensuring the accuracy of the toner particle size uniformity detection.

[0016] The present invention is further configured as follows: a plurality of corrugated pipes are sequentially arranged from left to right inside the top, middle and bottom aggregate frames.

[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, a number of bellows are arranged from left to right in the top, middle and bottom collection frames, respectively, which can reasonably guide the toner separated at different levels into the corresponding collection barrels, ensure the orderliness of toner transportation, and provide guarantee for accurately measuring the weight of toner with different particle sizes.

[0018] The present invention is further configured as follows: a movable shaft is arranged between the bottoms of the plurality of collecting barrels, and a side of the movable shaft close to the inner wall of the installation box is rotatably connected thereto.

[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, a movable shaft is set so that several collecting barrels can rotate synchronously. The weight difference of the toner particles in each collecting barrel is small through weighing by the weighing sensor, which shows that the particle size is relatively uniform. For example, the weight of large-particle toner screened out by the top sieve plate accounts for 20% of the total weight, the weight of medium-particle toner screened out by the middle sieve plate accounts for 60%, and the weight of small-particle toner screened out by the bottom sieve plate accounts for 20%. This distribution shows that the particle size is relatively uniform. Therefore, the collecting barrel is turned over by the movable shaft, and the toner particles inside it are dumped into the distribution component. The distribution component is used to redistribute the toner particles evenly into the ink cartridge, thereby achieving the effect of uniform monitoring of the toner particles.

[0020] The present invention is further configured as follows: the distribution component includes a support shaft, the support shaft is bolted to the inner wall of the installation box, and movable plates are sleeved on both sides of the support shaft surface, the movable plate is rotatably connected to a connecting plate on one side close to the inner wall of the installation box, and the other end of the connecting plate is rotatably connected to a slide plate, a material guide frame is bolted between the rear sides of the two movable plates, and an axle rod is rotatably connected to the top of the material guide frame, a number of dispersion blades are equidistantly sleeved on the surface of the axle rod, the bottom of the material guide frame is connected to a diffuser, and the bottom of the diffuser extends to the interior of the ink cartridge.

[0021] By adopting the above technical solution and setting up a distribution component, the slide plate will drive the movable plate to rotate around the support shaft through the connecting plate when it moves. The rotation of the movable plate causes the material guide frame to move accordingly. The shaft rotates in the material guide frame. The dispersion blades on the surface of the shaft stir and disperse the toner entering the material guide frame. The dispersed toner enters the ink cartridge through the diffuser at the bottom of the material guide frame, thereby achieving uniform distribution of the toner in the ink cartridge and providing toner with stable quality for subsequent printing work.

[0022] The present invention is further configured as follows: the diffuser comprises a guide frame, a plurality of orifice plates are bolted inside the guide frame, and the orifice plates are stacked inside the guide frame, and a plurality of guide inclined plates are bolted between opposite sides of two adjacent orifice plates.

[0023] By adopting the above technical solution, a diffuser is set up, and the toner dispersed by the dispersion blades enters the guide frame and first passes through the stacked orifice plates, which perform preliminary flow limiting and dispersion on the toner. Subsequently, the toner changes its flow direction under the guidance of the guide inclined plate and is further dispersed, so that the toner is continuously broken up and guided during the flow process, and finally enters the ink cartridge evenly, further improving the uniformity of the toner distribution in the ink cartridge, thereby improving the printing quality.

[0024] The present invention is further configured such that the interior of the guide inclined plate is hole-shaped, and two adjacent guide inclined plates on both sides are arranged in a V-shape as a whole, and two adjacent guide inclined plates at the top and bottom are arranged in a mirror image.

[0025] By adopting the above technical solution, through the hole setting inside the guiding inclined plate and the specific V-shaped and mirrored settings, the toner can be guided and dispersed more effectively, the flow path and dispersion degree of the toner can be increased, the toner can be distributed more evenly in the ink cartridge, and the printing quality can be significantly improved.

[0026] The present invention is further configured as follows: protrusions are provided on both sides of the separation frame, and a side of the protrusion close to the slide plate is bolted thereto and slidably arranged inside the installation frame.

[0027] By adopting the above technical solution, the protrusions on both sides of the separation frame are connected to the slide plate and slide in the installation frame, which not only ensures the stability of the separation frame sliding in the installation frame, but also enables the separation frame to better cooperate with other components during the movement, thereby ensuring the normal operation of the entire monitoring structure.

[0028] (III) Beneficial effects

[0030] This IoT-based intelligent office printer and consumables monitoring system, by setting up a toner particle monitoring structure and through the coordinated work of separation components, distribution components and related auxiliary components, achieves effective separation, precise detection and reasonable distribution of toner particles.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0040] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0041] Example 1

[0042] See also Figure 1-8 , an intelligent office printer and consumables monitoring system based on the Internet of Things, comprising a printer body 1, a carrying frame 10 is arranged inside the printer body 1, and ink cartridges 11 are arranged on both sides of the carrying frame 10, and a toner particle monitoring structure 2 is arranged on the top of the ink cartridge 11;

[0043] The toner particle monitoring structure 2 includes an installation box 3, which is arranged on the top of the ink cartridge 11, and the rear side of the installation box 3 is bolted with an installation frame 4, and a separation component 5 is slidably arranged inside the installation frame 4, the front side of the separation component 5 is bolted with a collection frame 6, and the bottom of the collection frame 6 is connected with a bellows 7, the other end of the bellows 7 is connected with a collection barrel 8, and a weighing sensor is arranged inside the collection barrel 8, and the front side of the installation box 3 is rotatably connected with a distribution component 9, and the distribution component 9 is connected to the separation component 5, and the collection barrel 8 is used in conjunction with the distribution component 9. By setting up the toner particle monitoring structure 2, through the coordinated work of the separation component 5, the distribution component 9 and related auxiliary components, the toner particles are effectively separated, accurately detected and reasonably distributed, which can not only accurately monitor the uniformity of the toner particle size, provide users with key information on the toner quality, help improve printing quality, and reduce problems such as blurred text and uneven color caused by uneven toner particles; it can also protect the internal components of the printer to a certain extent, extend the service life of the printer, and reduce maintenance costs.

[0044] Among them, there are three separation frames 52, which are stacked inside the mounting frame 4. The separation accuracy of the sieve plates 53 increases downwards, and the interior of the bottom sieve plate 53 is a sealed structure. Through the three stacked separation structures with the sieve plates 53 whose separation accuracy increases successively, the toner can be separated in multiple levels and more finely, thereby improving the detection accuracy of the uniformity of the toner particle size and ensuring that the distribution of the toner particles can be analyzed more accurately.

[0045] The striking member 57 comprises a fixed block 571, which is located at the four corners of the bottom of the separation frame 52, and the fixed block 571 is bolted to the inner wall of the mounting frame 4 on one side thereof, a capsule 572 is arranged inside the fixed block 571, and a moving rod 573 is slidably arranged inside the fixed block 571, one end of the moving rod 573 is bolted to a push plate 574, and the push plate 574 is in contact with the capsule 572 on one side thereof, a reset spring 575 is sleeved on the surface of the moving rod 573, and the reset spring 575 is connected to the push plate 574 and the inner wall of the fixed block 571 on one side thereof, a guide cylinder 576 is bolted to the top of the fixed block 571, and a striking rod 577 is slidably arranged inside the guide cylinder 576, and the bottom of the striking rod 577 extends to the capsule 5 Inside of 72, the bottom of the fixed cylinder is connected with the capsule 572, and the striking rod 577 is used in conjunction with the sieve plate 53. By setting the striking member 57, when the slide plate 51 drives the separation frame 52 to move back and forth, it will push the moving rod 573, so that the moving rod 573 moves in the fixed block 571 and moves the push plate 574 while contracting the reset spring 575. The movement of the push plate 574 will squeeze the capsule 572, so that the compressed gas filled inside it will squeeze the striking rod 577 to rise in the guide cylinder, thereby hitting the sieve plate 53, thereby causing the sieve plate 53 to vibrate, and the striking will loosen the toner particles on the sieve plate 53 to prevent blockage, thereby ensuring that the toner can be separated through the sieve plate 53 smoothly, and the toner particles can be evenly and quickly screened on the sieve.

[0046] Among them, the four corners of the bottom of the separation frame 52 are bolted with a synchronization plate 12, and the synchronization plate 12 is used in conjunction with the moving rod 573. Through the cooperation between the synchronization plate 12 and the moving rod 573, it can ensure that the striking parts 57 at the four corners of the bottom of the separation frame 52 work synchronously, so that the screen plate 53 is subjected to uniform striking force, further improving the separation effect of the screen plate 53, and ensuring the accuracy of the toner particle uniformity detection.

[0047] Among them, several bellows 7 are arranged in sequence from left to right inside the top, middle and bottom collection frames 6. By arranging several bellows 7 in sequence from left to right inside the top, middle and bottom collection frames 6, the toner separated at different levels can be reasonably guided into the corresponding collection barrel 8, ensuring the orderliness of toner transportation and providing guarantee for accurately measuring the weight of toner with different particle sizes.

[0048] Among them, a movable shaft 13 is arranged between the bottoms of several collecting barrels 8, and the movable shaft 13 is rotatably connected to the side of the inner wall of the mounting box 3. By setting the movable shaft 13, several collecting barrels 8 can rotate synchronously. The weighing sensor is used to weigh the toner particles in each collecting barrel 8, and the weight difference is small, indicating that the particle size is relatively uniform. For example, the weight of large-particle toner screened out by the top sieve plate 53 accounts for 20% of the total weight, the weight of medium-particle toner screened out by the middle sieve plate 53 accounts for 60%, and the weight of small-particle toner obtained by the bottom sieve plate 53 accounts for 20%. This distribution indicates that the particle size is relatively uniform. Therefore, the collecting barrel 8 is turned over by the movable shaft 13 to pour the toner particles inside it into the distribution component 9, and the distribution component 9 is used to redistribute the toner particles evenly into the ink cartridge 11, so as to achieve the effect of uniform monitoring of the toner particles.

[0049] Among them, protrusions are provided on both sides of the separation frame 52, and the protrusion is bolted to the side of the slide plate 51 close to it, and is slidably set inside the installation frame 4. The protrusions on both sides of the separation frame 52 are connected to the slide plate 51 and slide in the installation frame 4, which not only ensures the stability of the separation frame 52 sliding in the installation frame 4, but also enables the separation frame 52 to better cooperate with other components during the movement, thereby ensuring the normal operation of the entire monitoring structure.

[0050] The working principle of this embodiment is as follows: the toner is poured into the installation box 3 and placed on the top sieve plate 53. At the same time, the output shaft 56 is driven by the external drive motor structure to drive the turntable 55 to rotate. The turntable 55 drives the slide plate 51 and the separation frame 52 to reciprocate through the connecting rod 54, so that the toner can be separated. When the slide plate 51 drives the separation frame 52 to move back and forth, it will push the moving rod 573, so that the moving rod 573 moves in the fixed block 571 and the push plate 574 moves, and the reset pull is also moved. The spring 575 contracts, and the movement of the push plate 574 squeezes the capsule 572, so that the compressed gas filled therein squeezes the striking rod 577 to rise in the guide tube, thereby hitting the sieve plate 53, thereby causing the sieve plate 53 to vibrate, and the striking loosens the toner particles on the sieve plate 53 to prevent clogging, ensuring that the toner can pass through the sieve plate 53 smoothly for separation, and the toner particles can be evenly and quickly screened on the sieve. The toner separated by the sieve plates 53 at different levels of the separation assembly 5 falls into the corresponding top The top, middle and bottom collecting frames 6 are provided, and a plurality of bellows 7 are sequentially arranged inside these collecting frames 6 from left to right, which guide the toner separated at different levels to the corresponding collecting barrels 8 reasonably. Since a weighing sensor is arranged inside the collecting barrel 8 to measure the weight of the toner in each collecting barrel 8, the uniformity of the toner particle size can be preliminarily judged by comparing the weight difference of the toner in each collecting barrel 8. For example, if the weight of the large-particle toner screened out by the top sieve plate 53 accounts for 20% of the total weight, the weight of the medium-particle toner screened out by the middle sieve plate 53 accounts for 60%, and the weight of the small-particle toner obtained by the bottom sieve plate 53 accounts for 20%, this distribution indicates that the particle size is relatively uniform. If the weight of a certain layer of particles is obviously higher or lower, it means that the particle size is uneven. For example, the weight of the large-particle toner accounts for 50% of the total weight, while the weight of the small-particle toner accounts for only 10%, which indicates that there is obvious unevenness in the particle size. Therefore, the unqualified toner is taken out and replaced with a new toner for re-monitoring until the composite requirements are met.

[0051] Example 2

[0052] refer to Figure 7-8A smart office printer and consumables monitoring system based on the Internet of Things also includes a distribution component 9, wherein the distribution component 9 includes a support shaft 91, the support shaft 91 is bolted to the inner wall of the installation box 3, and both sides of the surface of the support shaft 91 are sleeved with movable plates 92, and the side of the movable plate 92 close to the inner wall of the installation box 3 is rotatably connected to a connecting plate 93, and the other end of the connecting plate 93 is rotatably connected to a slide plate 51, a material guide frame 94 is bolted between the rear sides of the two movable plates 92, and a shaft rod 95 is rotatably connected to the top of the material guide frame 94, and a plurality of dispersion blades 96 are equidistantly sleeved on the surface of the shaft rod 95, and the material guide frame 94 The bottom of the diffuser 97 is connected to the inside of the ink cartridge 11. By setting the distribution component 9, the slide plate 51 moves and drives the movable plate 92 to rotate around the support shaft 91 through the connecting plate 93. The rotation of the movable plate 92 causes the guide frame 94 to move accordingly. The shaft 95 rotates in the guide frame 94. The dispersing blades 96 on the surface of the shaft 95 stir and disperse the toner entering the guide frame 94. The dispersed toner enters the ink cartridge 11 through the diffuser 97 at the bottom of the guide frame 94, thereby achieving uniform distribution of the toner in the ink cartridge 11 and providing toner with stable quality for subsequent printing work.

[0053] Among them, the diffuser 97 includes a guide frame 971, and a plurality of orifice plates 972 are bolted inside the guide frame 971, and the orifice plates 972 are stacked and arranged inside the guide frame 971, and a plurality of guide inclined plates 973 are bolted between the opposite sides of two adjacent orifice plates 972. By setting the diffuser 97, the toner dispersed by the dispersion blades 96 enters the guide frame 971, and first passes through the stacked orifice plates 972, and the orifice plates 972 perform preliminary flow limiting and dispersion on the toner. Subsequently, the toner changes its flow direction under the guidance of the guide inclined plates 973 and is further dispersed, so that the toner is continuously broken up and guided during the flow process, and finally enters the ink cartridge 11 evenly, further improving the distribution uniformity of the toner in the ink cartridge 11, thereby improving the printing quality.

[0054] Among them, the interior of the guide inclined plate 973 is set in a hole shape, and the two adjacent guide inclined plates 973 on both sides are set in a V shape as a whole, and the two adjacent guide inclined plates 973 at the top and bottom are set in a mirror image. Through the hole setting inside the guide inclined plate 973 and the specific V-shape and mirror image settings, the toner can be more effectively guided and dispersed, the flow path and dispersion degree of the toner are increased, the toner is distributed more evenly in the ink cartridge 11, and the printing quality is significantly improved.

[0055] Working principle of this embodiment: after the uniformity of the toner particle size is determined by the weighing sensor, the movable shaft 13 drives the collecting barrel 8 to flip, and the toner particles in the collecting barrel 8 are dumped into the guide frame 94, and the slide plate 51 moves and drives the movable plate 92 to rotate around the support shaft 91 through the connecting plate 93. The rotation of the movable plate 92 causes the guide frame 94 to move accordingly. The shaft 95 at the top of the guide frame 94 rotates, and the dispersing blades 96 equidistantly sleeved on its surface stir and disperse the toner entering the guide frame 94. The toner dispersed by the dispersing blades 96 enters the guide frame 971, which is a part of the diffuser 97. In the frame 971, the toner first passes through the stacked orifice plates 972, which perform preliminary flow limiting and dispersion on the toner. Then, the toner changes its flow direction under the guidance of the guide inclined plate 973. The interior of the guide inclined plate 973 is hole-shaped, and the two adjacent guide inclined plates 973 on both sides are V-shaped as a whole. The two adjacent guide inclined plates 973 at the top and bottom are mirrored. This design increases the flow path and dispersion of the toner, so that the toner is continuously broken up and guided during the flow process. Finally, the fully dispersed toner can achieve uniform distribution of the toner in the ink cartridge 11, providing stable quality toner for subsequent printing work.
