Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of printing equipment, in particular to a nozzle cleaning device for an environment-friendly printing equipment. Background Technique

[0002] As a digital printing technology, inkjet printing has the advantages of high speed, small quantity replication, and easy combination use. An inkjet printer mainly consists of an inkjet controller and a nozzle. The nozzle is installed on the moving trolley of the inkjet printer. Under the control of the inkjet controller, ink is ejected from the nozzle of the nozzle at a certain pressure and then printed on the printing substrate. During use, due to factors such as bubbles, dust in the ink, and ink solidified on the nozzle surface, the nozzle is likely to be blocked, which will seriously affect the printing quality of the inkjet printer. Therefore, the nozzle needs to be cleaned regularly.

[0003] When cleaning the nozzle of the printing equipment, generally, a syringe is used to inject the cleaning liquid into the nozzle, so that the impurities inside the nozzle can be flushed outwards. However, the capacity of the syringe is fixed, and one-time flushing may not be able to ensure the cleaning effect, so workers need to try many times. This process will take a long time, and the cleaning effect is generally judged by visual inspection, so it is difficult to ensure the cleaning effect, and it is not convenient to use.

[0004] Therefore, a nozzle cleaning device for an environment-friendly printing equipment is proposed. Content of the Utility Model

After cleaning, the hot air blower 801 can be used to blow hot air, and the printing press nozzle 5 can be dried by using hot air. During drying, the provided filter screen 803 can filter the air, thus avoiding foreign impurities from entering the printing press nozzle 5.

[0032] As Figure 2 shown, the collection box 3 is provided directly below the printing press nozzle 5.

[0033] In summary: The water quality detector 301 and the liquid level gauge 703 are both prior arts, so their principles, structures, and models will not be elaborated here. The provided limit member 6 can clamp and limit the printer nozzle 5. After connecting the threaded sleeve 707 to the printer nozzle 5, the water pump 702 can pump out the cleaning liquid inside the cleaning liquid storage tank 701 and discharge it through the printer nozzle 5 to achieve flushing of the printer nozzle 5. During this process, the impurities inside the printer nozzle 5 can be flushed out to clean the printer nozzle 5. The water pump 702 can work intermittently. Each time it works, it can flush the printer nozzle 5 once, and the cleaning liquid can flow into the lower collection space. The water quality detector 301 inside the collection space can detect the flushed impurities. When the detection is unqualified, the collection box 3 can be driven to move by the driving member 4, thereby driving the collection space to move. Then, the above operations are repeated until the water quality detector 301 detects that the water quality is qualified, indicating that the printer nozzle 5 has been cleaned. After cleaning, the drying member 8 can be used to dry the printer nozzle 5, which is more convenient to use. At the same time, the collection box 3 can be inserted onto the slider 404 through the insertion plate 303, so it is convenient to remove the collection box 3 for cleaning, facilitating subsequent use.
