Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of printers, in particular to a waste ink recovery device for UV printers. Background Art

[0002] Inkjet printers turn colored liquid ink into tiny particles through nozzles and spray them onto printing paper. Some inkjet printers have three or four print heads to print yellow, magenta, cyan and black; some share one print head and print in four colors. Inkjet printers have high technological content and very precise parts structure. Correct use and operation of the printer plays an important role in reducing the probability of printer failure and extending its service life. For printer maintenance, it is necessary to regularly clean the residual waste ink inside and clean it through the nozzle.

[0003] Chinese utility model patent: Publication number CN220053258U discloses a UV printer waste ink recovery device, including a recovery device mounting seat, a recovery box, a plug-in board and a recovery pipe, wherein the top of the recovery device mounting seat is fixedly connected to a recovery device base, the middle of the top of the recovery device base is fixedly connected to a recovery box, the outer side wall of the recovery box is fixedly connected to a recovery box clamping plate along the peripheral direction, the recovery box clamping plate is fixedly connected to the recovery device base, the two sides of the bottom of the recovery device mounting seat are fixedly connected to the plug-in board, and the middle of the bottom of the recovery device mounting seat is fixedly connected to a recovery pipe.

[0004] In the prior art, when CN220053258U is in use, the entire device is movably inserted into the bottom of the printer nozzle through the plug-in board, and the recovery box on the top is used to collect the flushed waste ink, and the waste ink is discharged through the pipe plug hole via the recovery pipe, and the bottom is equipped with an arc tube, which can be conveniently connected to the discharge hose, which is beneficial to the discharge and collection of waste ink; the sliding is assisted by the roller groove opened on the plug-in board, and its sliding is softly closed by the cooperation of the device slide rail, the sliding plate and the sliding ball, which can facilitate the insertion and extraction of the entire device, and at the same time, the recovery box is assembled on the top of the recovery device base by its card slot, which is convenient for replacing the discarded recovery box after multiple uses without replacing the entire device.

[0005] However, during actual use, when the recovery box in the prior art is in use, waste ink falls into the recovery box, causing splashing, and due to the setting of the recovery pipe, external air will enter. If there is a lot of dust in the external air, dust will enter the printer, and then dust will enter the printer. Therefore, a UV printer waste ink recovery device is needed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0006] The utility model aims to provide a waste ink recovery device for a UV printer, which has the advantages of preventing dust from entering the printer and preventing waste ink from splashing when in use, thereby solving the problems of waste ink splashing when in use and dust entering the printer when in use.

When in use, the waste ink falls into the collection box through the nozzle, drips into the collection groove on the sponge block body, and slowly falls to the bottom of the inner side of the collection box, thereby realizing the collection of waste ink. At the same time, when air backflow occurs in the recovery pipe in the prior art, the external air entering can be filtered through the sponge block body, thereby preventing external dust from polluting the nozzle.

[0010] Preferably, a discharge hole is provided in the middle of the bottom of the collecting box, a limiting groove is provided around the top of the collecting box, and a support bar is fixedly installed on the bottom of the inner side of the collecting box.

[0011] By providing a limiting groove on the periphery of the top of the collection box, the collection box can be fixedly installed through the limiting groove during installation, thereby avoiding shaking of the collection box during use.

[0012] Preferably, a sealing ring is embedded in the discharge hole, the sealing ring is made of soft rubber material, and the contact surface between the sealing ring and the discharge hole is coated with adhesive.

[0013] A sealing ring is embedded in the discharge hole and designed with a soft rubber material, so that the discharge hole and the recovery pipe are sealed by the sealing ring. At the same time, adhesive is brushed on the contact surface between the sealing ring and the discharge hole, so as to avoid shaking of the sealing ring during use.

[0014] Preferably, there are two support bars, which are respectively bonded to the inner bottom of the collection box.

[0015] By bonding two support bars to the inner bottom of the collection box respectively, the sponge block body can be supported by the support bars, so that the waste ink can fall to the inner bottom of the collection box and be discharged through the discharge hole.

[0016] Preferably, the periphery of the sponge block body contacts the inner wall of the collection box but is not fixedly connected, the upper surface height of the sponge block body is lower than the top height of the collection box, and the bottom of the sponge block body does not contact the sealing ring.

[0017] By making the periphery of the sponge block body contact with the inner wall of the collection box but not fixedly connected, the waste ink can be adsorbed to the greatest extent. At the same time, the upper surface height of the sponge block body is lower than the top height of the collection box, thereby avoiding contact between the sponge block body and the nozzle when the collection box is installed.

[0018] Preferably, the cross section of the aggregate trough adopts a trapezoidal structure design.

[0019] By adopting a trapezoidal structure design for the cross section of the collecting trough, the waste ink can be better collected through the trapezoidal structure, and splashing of the waste ink and clogging of the nozzle can be avoided.

[0020] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the utility model are as follows:

[0021] The utility model provides a collecting groove, and opens the collecting groove on the upper surface of the sponge block body. When actually used, the collection box is installed in the recovery device installation seat in the prior art, and the sponge block body is placed in the collection box through the support strip, and the device is inserted at the bottom of the printer nozzle. Then, when in use, the waste ink falls into the collection box through the nozzle, drips into the collecting groove on the sponge block body, and slowly falls to the bottom of the inner side of the collection box, thereby realizing the collection of the waste ink. At the same time, when air backflow occurs in the recovery pipe in the prior art, the external air entering can be filtered through the sponge block body, thereby preventing the external dust from polluting the nozzle, and achieving the effect of preventing dust from entering the printer and avoiding the splashing of waste ink when in use.
