Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of waste ink collectors, in particular to a waste ink collector for an inkjet printer. Background Art

[0002] Inkjet printer is a product of large-scale printer series. It uses solvent-based or UV-curable ink. Solvent-based ink has strong odor and corrosiveness. During the printing process, the ink penetrates into the interior of the printing material through corrosion, making the image not easy to fade. Therefore, it has the characteristics of waterproof, UV-resistant and scratch-resistant.

[0003] At present, a patent document with the authorization announcement number CN104875503B discloses a spray printer. It mainly solves the problem that the current spray printer has a structure in which the fixed platform for fixing the workpiece to be sprayed does not move by moving the crossbeam during spraying, but the movement of the crossbeam is often complex in structure and inconvenient in assembly and maintenance. It is characterized in that it also includes a second power source, and the fixed platform performs linear reciprocating motion along the X-axis direction under the drive of the second power source. The present invention provides a spray printer, which adopts a structure in which the crossbeam does not move, and the fixed platform for fixing the workpiece to be sprayed performs linear motion, which has a simple structure, is easy to assemble and maintain, and has a good use effect.

[0004] In actual use, it is found that during the high-speed inkjet process of the inkjet printer, the trace amount of ink sprayed cannot be 100% attached to the printing medium due to various reasons. Some of the splashed ink will be suspended in the air and diffused with the airflow. After accumulating, it will cause serious environmental pollution and affect human health. There is a problem that it is inconvenient to collect the waste ink. Therefore, we propose a waste ink collector for the inkjet printer to solve the above problem. Utility Model Content
