Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to an ink testing machine. Background Art

[0002] Before the ink is produced and shipped out of the factory, it needs to undergo multiple tests to ensure its performance, including ink fluidity test, drying test and uniformity hue test. In the existing ink testing technology, paper, guide tape or cloth is usually used to test the ink. Although this method is simple and easy, it has some problems: 1. The use of paper and cloth consumes a lot of resources. Using guide tape to test and clean the guide tape will produce wastewater, and will also produce a lot of waste paper and waste cloth, causing environmental pollution; 2. Paper and cloth will occasionally curl up, and then rub the bottom of the print nozzle, causing wear or damage to the print nozzle; 3. The existing testing equipment is not easy to operate and observe, which affects the efficiency and convenience of the test. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of the utility model is to solve the problems existing in the prior art and to provide an ink testing machine to collect the printed ink and then centrally process it, thereby avoiding the use of a large amount of paper or cloth for testing, thereby reducing the consumption of resources, and also reducing the generation of waste paper or waste cloth or waste water, which is beneficial to environmental protection.

[0004] In order to achieve the above purpose, the technical solution adopted by the utility model is as follows:

[0005] The ink testing machine includes a frame, a first linear module, a second linear module and a printing assembly. A test platform is arranged in the middle of the top of the frame, and an ink receiving slot is arranged on one side of the test platform. The first linear module includes a first linear rail fixed on the frames on both sides of the test platform and a first linear slider thereon, a first linear drive motor is arranged at one end of the first linear rail, and a connecting shaft is arranged between the two ends of the first linear rails. The second linear module includes a second linear rail mounted on two first linear sliders and a second linear slider thereon, and a second linear drive motor is arranged at the end of the second linear rail. The printing assembly includes a printing bracket fixed on the second linear slider and a nozzle thereon. The ink receiving slot is designed as a semi-enclosed structure, which can effectively prevent the random diffusion of ink. The first linear module and the second linear module can control the movement of the printing assembly in the plane space above the frame, and the nozzle can be moved above the test platform and the ink receiving slot to facilitate the testing of the ink.

[0006] Preferably, the test platform is made of acrylic board. The test platform can print test strips, which is convenient for observing test results, thereby improving the accuracy and reliability of the test.

[0007] Preferably, a collecting port is provided at the bottom of the ink receiving groove to collect waste ink for centralized treatment.

[0008] Preferably, the printing assembly further includes an ink pump, a secondary ink bottle and a printing control module fixed on the printing bracket, as well as valve pipelines and other components.

[0009] Preferably, the printing bracket is also provided with a waste ink bottle for storing waste ink.

[0010] Preferably, a grating is provided on one side of the second linear track, and a corresponding grating reading head is provided on the printing support. Similarly, position sensing components are provided near both ends of the first linear track and on the first linear slide.

[0011] Preferably, the rack comprises an aluminum profile frame and a top plate at the top, a bottom plate at the bottom, and side plates around it.

[0012] Preferably, the bottom of the aluminum profile frame is provided with supporting and adjusting feet, at least one of the side panels is an openable and closable structure, and at least one of the side panels is provided with a switch / control structure.

[0013] Preferably, a moisturizing component is provided on the side of the top of the frame, and the moisturizing component includes a cylinder mounting plate fixed on the frame, a lifting cylinder is fixed on the cylinder mounting plate, an ink pad mounting plate is fixed on the driving end of the lifting cylinder, and a moisturizing ink pad is fixed on the ink pad mounting plate. When the printing component is not working, it moves to the top of the moisturizing component, and when the lifting cylinder works, the moisturizing ink pad is raised to abut against the bottom surface of the nozzle, thereby playing a moisturizing role.

[0014] The advantages of the utility model are: 1. Saving resources. A semi-enclosed ink receiving slot is used to collect the printed ink and then centrally process it, avoiding the use of a large amount of paper or cloth for testing, thereby reducing resource consumption and also reducing the generation of waste paper or waste cloth or waste water, which is beneficial to environmental protection.

[0015] 2. Improve test accuracy and reliability. A semi-enclosed structure and test platform are designed to facilitate operation and observation of test results, thereby improving test accuracy and reliability, as well as test efficiency and convenience. Compared with traditional test methods, it greatly saves time and manpower.

[0016] 3. No paper or cloth is involved in the entire testing process, reducing the risk of damage to the print head due to friction caused by the warping of paper or cloth.

[0017] It is not necessary to achieve all the advantages described above at the same time to implement any product description or implementation of the present application. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
