Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of color printer cartridge cleaning devices, and specifically to a cartridge cleaning device for a color printer. Background Art

[0002] A color printer is a device that directly prints the color graphics and texts edited on an intelligent device onto a medium, and has a fast printing speed and can print in large quantities. A cartridge for storing printing color ink is installed in the color printer. To ensure the normal progress of printing, when the color ink in the cartridge is exhausted, it needs to be replaced in time. However, directly discarding the replaced cartridge will increase the production cost. To reduce the production cost, people will clean the replaced cartridge, and then pour new color ink into it to reuse the cartridge.

[0003] A patent with the publication number CN113829766A discloses a cartridge cleaning device for a color printer, including a cover body. The upper end face inside the cover body is fixedly connected with a stabilizing column, and a lifting rotating shaft is installed in the middle of the upper end face of the cover body. By introducing water through the water inlet, the water enters the cartridge body, and then the water submerges the brush and the cartridge. Thus, during use, under the soaking effect of the water, the residues inside the cartridge can be soaked and diluted, and then under the stirring effect of the brush, the cartridge can be effectively cleaned. By means of the pulley on the rotating rod, under the operation of the rotating machine, driven by the transmission leather belt, the rotating rod can rotate, and the rotating rod can drive the brush at the top to rotate together, so as to clean the cartridge. Through the rotation of the brush, the cleaning speed can be greatly improved, thereby improving the working quality of the color printer.

[0004] However, since the ink injection ports and ink outlet openings of most current color printer cartridges are relatively small, the brush of the existing color printer cartridge cleaning device cannot effectively enter the inside of the cartridge for cleaning, and there are corners in the cartridge, and the brush cannot effectively clean the inside of the corners, resulting in poor cleaning effect. At the same time, the existing color printer cartridge cleaning device cannot dry the cartridge after cleaning it. The cartridge being in a humid state for a long time will affect the cartridge material and lead to a decrease in the service life of the cartridge. Therefore, a cartridge cleaning device for a color printer is proposed to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention

[0023] Please refer to Figures 1 - 12 As shown, an ink cartridge cleaning device for a color printer includes a housing 1; as Figure 1 and Figure 4 shown, a cleaning pool 2 is fixed on the housing 1. Two groups of turning components 3 are symmetrically installed on both sides of the cleaning pool 2, and the turning ends of the two groups of turning components 3 are symmetrically arranged at the inner bottom of the cleaning pool 2 and are respectively provided with positioning components 315. The two groups of positioning components 315 are used to fix the ink cartridges, and the two groups of turning components 3 are used to drive the two groups of positioning components 315 to synchronously turn and shake in the cleaning pool 2, so as to drive the ink cartridges to turn and shake in the cleaning agent in the cleaning pool 2, so that the ink cartridges are in full contact with the cleaning agent during the movement process, and the cleaning effect is improved.

[0024] As Figure 2 ,, Figure 4 and Figure 5 shown, a heating component 4 is installed at the bottom of the cleaning pool 2, and the air outlet of the heating component 4 is connected to the upper part of the side wall of the cleaning pool 2.

[0025] As Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4In it, a fixed shell 75 is fixed on the inner wall of the cleaning pool 2. Nozzles 76 are evenly distributed and installed on the fixed shell 75. A cleaning agent tank 6 and a clean water tank 7 are arranged inside the outer shell 1. A first pump 61 and a second pump 71 respectively communicating with the cleaning agent tank 6 and the clean water tank 7 are installed at the bottom inside the outer shell 1. The output ends of the first pump 61 and the second pump 71 are respectively communicated with two groups of positioning components 315 through a reagent delivery pipe 62 and a water delivery pipe 73.

Moreover, the clean water is sprayed on the outside of the ink cartridge after cleaning by the nozzles 76 to rinse the outside of the ink cartridge after cleaning, so as to remove the residual cleaning agent on the ink cartridge after cleaning and avoid the residual cleaning agent from corroding the ink cartridge.

[0026] As Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 In it, a ventilation accessory pipe 46 is installed at the air outlet of the heating component 4. The end of the ventilation accessory pipe 46 is respectively communicated with the reagent delivery pipe 62 and the water delivery pipe 73 through two ventilation branch pipes 47. And a one-way component 471 is installed in each of the two ventilation branch pipes 47. When the heating component 4 operates, hot air is conveyed into the reagent delivery pipe 62 and the water delivery pipe 73 through the ventilation accessory pipe 46, and the hot air is sent into the ink cartridge through the reagent delivery pipe 62 and the water delivery pipe 73 to dry the inside of the ink cartridge.

[0027] As Figure 1 and Figure 4 In it, two groups of turning components 3 are used to drive the ink cartridge to turn and shake in the cleaning pool 2. The cleaning agent is pumped into the ink cartridge by the first pump 61 to clean the ink cartridge comprehensively, and the hot air of the heating component 4 is blown to the ink cartridge to dry it.

[0028] As Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 In it, a clean water pipe 72 is installed at the output end of the second pump 71. An increasing bin 74 communicated with the fixed shell 75 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the cleaning pool 2, and the clean water pipe 72 is communicated and arranged on the increasing bin 74. A sewage outlet 5 is installed at the side bottom of the cleaning pool 2. Two ultrasonic modules 21 are symmetrically installed on the inner wall of the cleaning pool 2. The ultrasonic modules 21 emit ultrasonic waves during cleaning to further enhance the cleaning effect of the ink cartridge. At the same time, in cooperation with the second pump 71, clean water is pumped into the fixed shell 75 to supply water to the nozzles 76.

[0029] As Figure 4 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 and Figure 8Among them, the flipping component 3 includes an electric telescopic rod 31, the electric telescopic rod 31 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the cleaning pool 2, the top of the electric telescopic rod 31 is fixedly connected with a fixed seat 32, a first hollow shaft 33 is fixedly connected through the fixed seat 32, a fixed rod 34 is fixedly connected below the first hollow shaft 33, a rotating rod 35 is rotatably installed at the bottom end of the fixed rod 34, a rotating shaft 36 is rotatably installed in the first hollow shaft 33, a motor 317 for driving the rotating shaft 36 is installed on the side of the fixed seat 32, a driven shaft 37 is rotatably installed at the bottom end of the rotating rod 35, and the positioning component 315 is installed at the end of the driven shaft 37. An arc-shaped toothed plate 316 for transmission is arranged below the positioning component 315, and the arc-shaped toothed plate 316 is fixedly connected to the inner bottom of the cleaning pool 2. A first transmission disc 38 is fixedly connected to the end of the rotating shaft 36, a second transmission disc 39 is fixedly connected to the driven shaft 37, and a transmission belt 310 is arranged between the first transmission disc 38 and the second transmission disc 39 for transmission. Under the reciprocating driving of the forward and reverse rotation of the motor 317, when the driven shaft 37 rotates, it will drive the positioning component 315 to rotate. Under the transmission of the arc-shaped toothed plate 316, the rotating rod 35 rotates at the bottom end of the fixed rod 34, so as to drive the positioning component 315 to reciprocate and shake during the rotation process. By using the forward and reverse rotation of the motor 317 to reciprocate and drive the transmission belt 310 alternately in the forward and reverse directions to drive the driven shaft 37, and when the positioning component 315 rotates driven by the driven shaft 37, it will drive the positioning component 315 to rotate, so that when the two positioning components 315 rotate, they will drive the ink cartridge to rotate. When the positioning component 315 rotates, under the meshing drive of the arc-shaped toothed plate 316, the rotating rod 35 will drive the positioning component 315 to shake in the cleaning pool 2 with the rotation connection axis of the fixed rod 34 as the axis, so as to drive the ink cartridge to shake in the cleaning pool 2 while rotating, so as to clean the ink cartridge.

[0030] As Figure 6 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 Among them, two fixing blocks 311 are symmetrically and fixedly connected to both sides of the rotating rod 35, two limiting buckles 312 are symmetrically and fixedly connected to both sides of the fixed rod 34, elastic strips 313 are fixedly connected to both of the two fixing blocks 311, and the top ends of the two elastic strips 313 are respectively slidably arranged in the two limiting buckles 312. Two limiting discs 314 are rotatably installed on both sides of the rotation connection axis of the fixed rod 34 and the rotating rod 35, and the two limiting discs 314 are located outside the transmission track of the transmission belt 310. In the initial state, the elastic strips 313 will maintain a vertical state, so that the fixed rod 34 and the rotating rod 35 are kept in a straight line state, so as to limit the rotating rod 35, so as to prevent the rotating rod 35 from shaking randomly when the device is not in use, which is inconvenient to fix the ink cartridge by using the positioning component 315.

[0031] AsFigure 9 Among them, the positioning component 315 includes a second hollow shaft 3151, the second hollow shaft 3151 is concentrically and fixedly connected to the end of the driven shaft 37, a gear 3152 is fixedly connected to the second hollow shaft 3151, and the gear 3152 meshes with the arc-shaped toothed plate 316.

The end of the water delivery pipe 73 and the agent delivery pipe 62 are communicatively arranged on the rotating sleeve 31512. By rotatably installing the rotating sleeve 31512 outside the second hollow shaft 3151, the rotation of the second hollow shaft 3151 will not drive the rotating sleeve 31512 to rotate. And by using the water delivery pipe 73 and the agent delivery pipe 62, cleaning agent, clean water and hot air are conveyed into the ink cartridge to clean and dry the ink cartridge.

[0032] As Figure 9 and Figure 10 Among them, a first baffle 3153 and a second baffle 3154 are fixedly connected to the second hollow shaft 3151, and the first baffle 3153 is located between the second baffle 3154 and the gear 3152. A limiting rib 3155 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the second hollow shaft 3151 and between the first baffle 3153 and the second baffle 3154. A sliding sleeve 3156 is slidably arranged on the second hollow shaft 3151, and the sliding sleeve 3156 is rotationally limited by the limiting rib 3155. The sliding sleeve 3156 is located between the first baffle 3153 and the second baffle 3154. A first spring 3157 is arranged between the first baffle 3153 and the sliding sleeve 3156. The port of the sliding sleeve 3156 is arranged outside the second baffle 3154 and fixedly connected with a conical head 3159, and the conical head 3159 is provided with a hollow. A fixed pipe 31510 is fixedly connected inside the conical head 3159. A sealing ring 3158 is fixedly connected to the port of the second hollow shaft 3151. The end of the fixed pipe 31510 penetrates through the sealing ring 3158 and extends into the second hollow shaft 3151 and is fixedly connected with a third baffle 31511. In the initial state, the first spring 3157 will always push the sliding sleeve 3156 towards the second baffle 3154 so that the sliding sleeve 3156 fits against the side of the second baffle 3154. Under the action of the first spring 3157, the ink cartridge can be fixed.

The heating rod 42 is used for heating to raise the temperature of the cleaning agent in the cleaning pool 2, and the blowing device 44 is used to blow the heat in the heating chamber 41 into the cleaning pool 2 to dry the ink cartridge.

[0034] As Figure 2 and Figure 3 Among them, the end of the agent delivery pipe 62 is connected with an agent delivery hose 63, the end of the agent delivery hose 63 is communicated and arranged on the rotating sleeve 31512 in one group of positioning components 315, the end of the water delivery pipe 73 is installed with a clear water hose 77, and the end of the clear water hose 77 is communicated and arranged on the rotating sleeve 31512 in the other group of positioning components 315. The agent delivery hose 63 and the clear water hose 77 are used to connect with the rotating sleeve 31512 in the two groups of positioning components 315 to avoid the normal use of the device.

[0035] As Figure 11 and Figure 12 Among them, the one-way component 471 includes a blocking block 4711, the blocking block 4711 is fixedly connected inside the port of the ventilation branch pipe 47, a sliding rod 4712 is slidably arranged in the blocking block 4711, sealing plugs 4713 and a fourth baffle 4714 are fixedly connected to both ends of the sliding rod 4712 respectively, and the fourth baffle 4714 is located at one end of the sliding rod 4712 facing the ventilation auxiliary pipe 46. A second spring 4715 is sleeved on the sliding rod 4712, and the second spring 4715 is located between the blocking block 4711 and the fourth baffle 4714. A through hole 4716 is opened on the blocking block 4711, and the sealing plug 4713 is used to block the through hole 4716. In the initial state, the second spring 4715 will always push the fourth baffle 4714 to the side opposite to the blocking block 4711, so that the sealing plug 4713 blocks the opening of the through hole 4716 to close the ventilation branch pipe 47 and prevent the liquid in the agent delivery pipe 62 and the water delivery pipe 73 from flowing back into the ventilation auxiliary pipe 46 when the hot air is not being transported.

[0036] During operation, for most current color printer cartridges, the injection ports and the ink outlet ports have small openings. The brushes of existing color printer cartridge cleaning devices cannot effectively enter the interior of the cartridge for cleaning. Moreover, there are corners inside the cartridge, and the brushes cannot effectively clean inside the corners, resulting in poor cleaning effects. At the same time, existing color printer cartridge cleaning devices cannot dry the cartridges after cleaning them. If the cartridges remain in a wet state for a long time, it will affect the cartridge material and lead to a decrease in the service life of the cartridges. In this solution, first, the sliding sleeve 3156 is toggled so that the sliding sleeve 3156 moves towards the first baffle 3153 to adjust the distance between the two tapered heads 3159 in the two positioning components 315. Subsequently, the injection port and the ink outlet port of the cartridge are respectively aligned with the tapered ends of the tapered heads 3159 in the two positioning components 315. After releasing the sliding sleeve 3156, under the action of the first spring 3157, the cartridge is fixed between the tapered heads 3159 in the two positioning components 315, and the fixed tubes 31510 at the tapered ends of the two tapered heads 3159 will be respectively located in the injection port and the ink outlet port of the cartridge; Subsequently, the two electric telescopic rods 31 are controlled to contract so that the cartridge descends into the interior of the cleaning tank 2. After the positioning component 315 descends, the gear 3152 will engage with the arc-shaped tooth plate 316. Subsequently, the two motors 317 are controlled to perform forward and reverse rotation alternately in synchronization. The motor 317 will drive the first drive disk 38 to rotate through the rotating shaft 36 to drive the driven shaft 37 to rotate. When the driven shaft 37 rotates forward and reverse alternately, it will drive the gear 3152 to roll back and forth on the arc-shaped tooth plate 316, so as to drive the cartridge fixed between the two positioning components 315 to roll and shake in the cleaning agent in the cleaning tank 2; In coordination with the rolling and shaking of the cartridge, the first pump 61 is controlled to operate to pump the cleaning agent in the cleaning agent tank 6 into the agent delivery hose 63 through the agent delivery pipe 62, and pump it into the positioning component 315 connected thereto from the agent delivery hose 63. The cleaning agent will enter the rotating sleeve 31512, then enter the second hollow shaft 3151 through the air vent 31513, and finally be injected into the interior of the cartridge through the fixed tube 31510 to cooperate with the cleaning of the interior of the cartridge; In coordination with the cleaning of the cartridge, the heating rod 42 is controlled to heat through the heating control module 43 to increase the temperature of the cleaning agent in the cleaning tank 2, thereby facilitating the cleaning of the residual color ink in the cartridge. At the same time, the two ultrasonic modules 21 are controlled to work to emit sound waves to further improve the cleaning effect of the cartridge; After the cleaning is completed, the two electric telescopic rods 31 are controlled to extend. When the two electric telescopic rods 31 are extended, the ink cartridge is lifted upward, and the gear 3152 in the positioning assembly 315 is separated from the arc-shaped toothed plate 316. Under the action of the elastic strip 313, the fixed rod 34 and the rotating rod 35 are aligned with the same vertical line, and the ink cartridge is lifted to the connecting opening of the air duct 45 and the cleaning pool 2. The second pump 71 is controlled to operate to pump the clean water in the clean water tank 7 to the increasing bin 74 through the water delivery pipe 73, and then enters the fixed shell 75, and then passes through the spray The head 76 sprays on the surface of the ink cartridge after cleaning, and cooperates with the drive of the motor 317 to wash away the residual cleaning agent on the outer wall of the ink cartridge, and when the second pump 71 is running, it will pump clean water into the clean water hose 77 through the water pipe 73, and then enter the rotating sleeve 31512 connected to it through the clean water hose 77, and then enter the interior of the ink cartridge through the second hollow shaft 3151 and the fixed pipe 31510 connected to it, so as to wash away the residual cleaning agent in the ink cartridge, so as to avoid the cleaning agent residue from corroding the ink cartridge; Then, the blower device 44 is controlled to operate. When the blower device 44 operates, the heat in the heating chamber 41 is blown into the cleaning tank 2 through the air duct 45. After the hot air enters the cleaning tank 2, it dries the outer wall of the ink cartridge after cleaning. With the rotation of the ink cartridge, the outside of the ink cartridge is fully dried. When the blower device 44 operates, the hot air is transported to the ventilation branch pipe 47 through the ventilation auxiliary pipe 46. Under the continuous operation of the blower device 44, the air pressure in the ventilation branch pipe 47 will continue to increase, and the sealing plug 4713 will be lifted up. At this time, the through hole 4716 will open, and the hot air in the ventilation branch pipe 47 will enter the water delivery pipe 73 and the agent delivery pipe 62 through the through hole 4716, and be transported into the two sets of positioning components 315 through the agent delivery hose 63 and the clean water hose 77, and finally enter the interior of the ink cartridge through the fixed pipe 31510 in the two sets of positioning components 315, so as to dry the interior of the ink cartridge. The ink cartridge can be cleaned by the device, and the ink cartridge with a smaller opening can be cleaned, and the corners inside the ink cartridge can be fully cleaned. Compared with the traditional ink cartridge cleaning device, the cleaning effect is better, and the cleaned ink cartridge can be dried, which effectively avoids the influence of water stains left after cleaning the ink cartridge on its material.
