[0002] In the field of inkjet printing, when the inkjet printing device is not used for a long time, the ink remaining in the nozzle of the inkjet printing device may solidify, and other impurities may also enter the nozzle of the inkjet printer, causing the nozzle of the inkjet printer to not work normally and affecting the printing quality. In order to prevent this situation, the nozzle of the inkjet printer needs to be cleaned regularly. The existing ink cleaning in the nozzle of the inkjet printer is mostly done by disassembling the nozzle and cleaning it with clean water or cleaning fluid. For some solidified inks, the cleaning efficiency is low and the cleaning difficulty is greater. Some inks that are solidified and attached to the inner wall of the nozzle may not be cleaned off, resulting in the nozzle being out of ink during subsequent use.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0017] In order to make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects achieved by the present invention easy to understand, the present invention is further described below in conjunction with specific implementation methods.

[0018] See also Figures 1 to 3The utility model provides a technical solution: an ink cleaning device for a printing mechanism, comprising a cleaning liquid tank 1 and a waste water tank 2, a flushing pipe 4 is installed on one side of the cleaning liquid tank 1, and a flushing head 6 is rotatably matched at one end of the flushing pipe 4, a waste liquid collecting pipe 10 is installed on one side of the waste water tank 2, a collecting head 11 is fixed at one end of the waste liquid collecting pipe 10, the flushing head 6 is threadedly matched with the collecting head 11, a plurality of water outlets 7 are opened on the peripheral side of one end of the flushing head 6, and a resistor 9 is installed at one end of the flushing head 6.

[0019] In this embodiment, a water pump 3 is fixed on one side of the cleaning liquid tank 1, the water outlet end of the water pump 3 is connected to the flushing pipe 4, the water inlet end of the water pump 3 is located at the bottom of the cleaning liquid tank 1, a connector 5 is fixed at one end of the flushing pipe 4, the connector 5 is rotatably connected to the flushing head 6, a rotating plate 16 is fixed at one end of the flushing head 6 close to the connector 5, an installation groove 8 is opened in the flushing head 6, and the resistor 9 is fixed in the installation groove 8.

[0020] One end of the waste liquid collection pipe 10 is connected to the waste water tank 2, and the other end of the waste liquid collection pipe 10 is connected to the collecting head 11. A partition 12 is fixed in the collecting head 11, and the partition 12 is threadedly matched with the flushing pipe 4. A plurality of drain ports 15 are opened in the partition 12. A first sealing gasket 13 is fixed on the top of the collecting head 11, and a second sealing gasket 14 is installed between the flushing head 6 and the collecting head 11 to ensure sealing and prevent sewage from dripping.

[0021] Specifically, when it is necessary to clean the solid ink inside the nozzle, the collecting head 11 can be attached to the bottom of the nozzle, and then the rotating plate 16 is rotated so that the rotating plate 16 drives the flushing head 6 to rotate, so that the flushing head 6 spirally rotates out of the collecting head 11, and the flushing head 6 is inserted into the nozzle to clear the nozzle. At the same time, the water pump 3 is started so that the water pump 3 extracts the cleaning liquid in the cleaning liquid tank 1 and sends it to the flushing head 6. The cleaning liquid is sprayed from the water outlet 7 into the nozzle, thereby cleaning the inside of the nozzle. The sewage after cleaning flows into the collecting head 11, and then flows into the wastewater tank 2 through the waste liquid collection pipe 10, and the wastewater can be collected.

[0022] When the solid ink adhering to the inner wall of the nozzle needs to be cleaned, the resistor 9 can be energized to heat the resistor 9, thereby increasing the temperature inside the nozzle, melting the solid ink, and ensuring the cleaning effect on the inside of the nozzle.

[0023] In addition, it should be understood that although the present specification is described according to implementation modes, not every implementation mode contains only one independent technical solution. This description of the specification is only for the sake of clarity. Those skilled in the art should regard the specification as a whole. The technical solutions in each embodiment may also be appropriately combined to form other implementation modes that can be understood by those skilled in the art.
