[0009] In one or more embodiments, the number of the cylinders is more than two, and the cylinders are synchronously linked.

[0010] Compared with the background technology, the utility model has the following effects: multiple ink cartridges can be cleaned and dried at the same time, the cleaning efficiency of the ink cartridges can be effectively improved, the efficiency of ink cartridge refurbishment is significantly improved, and the cost is lower than manual cleaning. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0011] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the cleaning system of the utility model embodiment; DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0012] In order to deepen the understanding of the present invention, the present invention will be further described in detail below in conjunction with embodiments and drawings. The embodiments are only used to explain the present invention and do not constitute a limitation on the protection scope of the present invention.

[0013] Please see attached Figure 1 The present application provides a cleaning system for manufacturing regenerated ink cartridges, which includes an ultrasonic cleaning machine 1, a cleaning rack 2, a first platform 3 and a second platform 4. The cleaning rack 2 is provided with a plurality of cleaning stations, which can be used to support ink cartridges 13. The first platform 3 is connected to the second platform 4 through a lifting mechanism and is used to drive the second platform to move up and down. A rotating motor 5 and a blower 6 are provided on the second platform. The rotating motor is used to drive the cleaning rack 2 to rotate, and the blower is used to blow air to the cleaning rack. The ultrasonic cleaning machine 1 has a cleaning tank 7 with an upper opening for the cleaning rack to enter, and the cleaning tank contains cleaning liquid.

[0014] When in use, an ink cartridge is placed on each cleaning station, and the second platform is lowered by the lifting structure to allow the cleaning rack to enter the cleaning tank. After the cleaning liquid completely covers the ink cartridge on the cleaning station, the ink cartridge is ultrasonically cleaned by an ultrasonic cleaning machine. During the cleaning process, the cleaning rack is driven to rotate by a small rotation of the rotary motor, so that the residual ink cleaned from the ink cartridge is easier to throw out. After cleaning, the lifting mechanism lifts the second platform to allow the cleaning rack to leave the cleaning tank, and then the ink cartridge is blown dry by a blower.

[0015] The rotating motor 5 is arranged in the middle of the second platform 4, and a bearing 8 is arranged on the second platform. The rotating shaft of the rotating motor is connected to the rotating ring of the rotating shaft. A shaft body 21 connected to the rotating ring is arranged in the middle of the cleaning rack 2. The rotating ring is the inner ring of the bearing, and the outer ring of the bearing is fixed on the second platform.

[0016] An air pipe 9 is provided at the bottom end of the second platform 4, and a plurality of air outlets are distributed on the air pipe and are aimed at an air outlet nozzle 10 of the cleaning rack. The air pipe is connected to the air outlet end of the blower. The plurality of air outlet nozzles can blow air at multiple angles, so that the ink cartridges on the cleaning rack can be dried more easily.

[0017] The first platform 3 is provided with a plurality of guide holes, and the second platform 4 is provided with guide posts 11 extending upward and passing through the guide holes. With the cooperation of the guide posts and the guide holes, the lifting and lowering of the second platform can be made more stable.

[0018] The lifting mechanism is a cylinder 12, which is inverted and fixed on the first platform 3. The first platform is provided with an avoidance hole for the cylinder shaft of the cylinder to pass through. The end of the cylinder shaft is connected and fixed to the second platform. The cylinder lifting mechanism has good reliability. It is preferred to set the number of cylinders 12 to more than two, and the cylinders are synchronously linked.

[0019] The above are only preferred embodiments of the present invention, and the protection scope of the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. Any equivalent modifications or changes made by ordinary technicians in this field based on the contents disclosed in the present invention should be included in the protection scope recorded in the claims.
