Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of inkjet printer technology, in particular to a two-in-one switchable digital inkjet printer. BACKGROUND

[0002] In today's rapid development of digital printing technology, as a kind of efficient and flexible printing equipment, inkjet printer has shown great application potential in the field of textile printing. At present, the inkjet direct inkjet cloth printer and the inkjet thermal transfer printing machine are two special equipment in the market. If the user wants to use the inkjet direct inkjet cloth printer or the inkjet thermal transfer printing machine, he can only choose one of them. If you want to use the functions of both devices, you have to buy two devices, which results in high economic cost and complicated use process. SUMMARY

[0003] In view of the above-mentioned shortcomings of the prior art, the purpose of the present application is to provide a two-in-one switchable digital inkjet printer.

[0004] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the present application provides the following technical scheme: a two-in-one switchable digital inkjet printer, comprising a flip cover, the front side of the flip cover is hingedly connected with a base, the inner cavity of the base is provided with a paper supporting platform and a cloth supporting platform, a plurality of grooves are formed in the top of the cloth supporting platform, filter cotton is arranged in each groove, a slag collecting box is arranged on the left side of the flip cover, a switching device is arranged on the front side of the flip cover, a dual-purpose rotating rod is arranged on the top of the switching device, and a flat surface and an arc surface are arranged on the surface of the dual-purpose rotating rod.

[0005] Preferably, a base is arranged on the front side of the switching device, and a step is arranged in the inner cavity of the base.

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

[0007] Preferably, an air blower is arranged on the upper part of the base leg.

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

[0009] Preferably, a paper supporting fixing structure is arranged on the rear side of the paper supporting platform, and a cloth supporting fixing structure is arranged on the front side of the cloth supporting platform.

[0010] Preferably, a plurality of base air holes are formed in the base.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the present application has the following advantages:

[0012] The present application has structural differences between the printers for printing paper and printing cloth due to the inconsistent stiffness of paper and cloth.

[0013] When the printer prints the fabric, the dual-purpose rotating rod, the fabric support platform, and the corner roller are arranged in a straight line, that is, on a horizontal line, to keep the fabric taut and prevent wrinkles or loosening of the fabric during the printing process.

[0014] When the printer is printing paper, the dual-purpose rotating rod, paper support platform, and corner roller are arranged in an arch bridge shape. That is, the height of the dual-purpose rotating rod and corner roller should be slightly lower than the paper support platform so that the paper is taut and flattened on the platform. This prevents the paper from bulging, shifting, or wrinkling during the printing process and coming into contact with the inkjet nozzle, which would cause inkjet nozzle blockage.

[0015] Bulging and wrinkling can affect print clarity and completeness, and contact scratches can also damage the printhead. At the same time, ensuring that the paper and fabric move along the designated trajectory can effectively prevent printhead damage. Attached Figure Description

[0024] Please see Figures 1-7The present invention provides a technical solution: a two-in-one switchable digital inkjet printer, including a flip cover 1, a base 4 hinged to the front side of the flip cover 1, a paper support platform 5 and a cloth support platform 6 in the inner cavity of the base 4, a plurality of grooves on the top of the cloth support platform 6, each groove containing filter cotton 61, a slag collection box 62 on the left side of the flip cover 1, a switching device 2 on the front side of the flip cover 1, a dual-purpose rotating rod 3 on the top of the switching device 2, and a flat surface 31 and an arc surface 32 on the surface of the dual-purpose rotating rod 3;

[0025] 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.

[0026] 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:

[0027] 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.

[0028] 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.

[0029] 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;

[0030] The suction structure plays different roles when printing cloth and when printing paper, specifically:

[0031] 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.

[0032] When printing, the suction structure is used to flatten the paper, ensuring that the paper is flat and adhered to, thus ensuring print clarity;

[0033] 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.

[0034] 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.

[0035] 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.
