[0003] Taking a rotary printer as an example, the printers in the prior art mainly consist of a motor and an ink cartridge unit. The output end of the motor is connected to the ink cartridge unit and can drive it to rotate.

[0056] In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the quantity of the indicated technical features. Thus, features defined with "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one such feature.

[0059] Figures 1 to 21 The pedestal 1 and the printing system provided by the present utility model are shown. As can be seen from the figure, the present utility model provides a pedestal 1 which is applied to a printer 2. The printer 2 has a printing end 2121, and the printing end 2121 has an inkjet area 2120. The inkjet area 2120 has at least one inkjet hole. The pedestal 1 includes a support body 11 and a humidifying mechanism 12. The humidifying mechanism 12 is arranged on the support body 11, and the humidifying mechanism 12 can release moisture to the inkjet hole when the support body 11 is connected to the printer 2, so as to increase the humidity of the air at the inkjet hole.

[0060] In specific implementation, by designing a special base 1, the base 1 can not only support the printer 2, but also integrate a humidifying mechanism 12. When the printer 2 is connected to the base 1, the humidifying mechanism 12 can release an appropriate amount of moisture to the inkjet area 2120, so that the air at the inkjet holes maintains an appropriate humidity. Even if the printer 2 is not used for a long time, the ink at the inkjet holes is not likely to become viscous or dry due to volatilization, thus avoiding the problem of inkjet hole blockage. Therefore, when the printer 2 is used again, the ink can be smoothly ejected from the inkjet holes, ensuring the clarity and continuity of the printing effect and avoiding the situation of blurred printing or complete inability to print. In addition, this design helps to improve the printing efficiency and extend the service life of the printer 2, providing a more stable and reliable printing experience for users.

[0061] In this embodiment, the printer 2 can be an existing rotary printer 2, and the rotary printer 2 can be columnar. The rotary printer 2 can be analogous to a floor washer, and the base 1 can be analogous to the base station of the floor washer. When the floor washer is not in use, it can be placed on the base station. Similarly, when the rotary printer 2 is not in use, the rotary printer 2 can be placed on the base 1. The printing end 2121 can be located at the lower end of the printer 2. The inkjet area 2120 can be rectangular, and reference can be made to Figure 4 the area enclosed by the center dash line. The number of inkjet holes can exceed 300. The support base 11 can be in the shape of a regular frustum of a cone. The printer 2 can be placed vertically on the small-diameter end of the support base 11.

[0062] As Figures 5 to 10 shown, according to an embodiment of the present invention, the support base 11 has a cavity 1111 and an insertion hole 1121; the cavity 1111 is located inside the support base 11; the insertion hole 1121 is located on the surface of the support base 11, and the insertion hole 1121 can communicate with the cavity 1111; the humidifying mechanism 12 is arranged in the cavity 1111; the printer 2 includes an ink cartridge unit 21, and the ink cartridge unit 21 includes an ink cartridge unit main body 211 and a print head 212; the ink cartridge unit main body 211 has an ink supply end 2110 for supplying ink to the print head 212; the print head 212 is arranged on the ink supply end 2110; the print head 212 has a printing end 2121; the inkjet area 2120 is located in the insertion hole 1121 when the ink supply end 2110 is connected to the support base 11; the humidifying mechanism 12 can release moisture to the inkjet holes to increase the humidity of the air at the inkjet holes when the ink supply end 2110 is connected to the support base 11.

[0063] During specific implementation, a cavity 1111 is designed inside the support body 11 of the base 1, and it communicates with the external environment through the insertion hole 1121. The humidifying mechanism 12 is arranged inside this cavity 1111. When the ink cartridge unit 21 of the printer 2 is connected to the base 1, the inkjet area 2120 will be located inside the insertion hole 1121. In this way, the humidifying mechanism 12 can release moisture to the inkjet area 2120, thereby increasing the air humidity around the inkjet holes. This humidifying method can not only prevent the ink from becoming viscous or drying out due to the evaporation of ink moisture, but also specifically protect the inkjet holes from being blocked. In this way, even if the printer 2 is not used for a long time, the ink can remain smooth when it is restarted, the printing effect is clear, there is no broken line, and the printing quality and efficiency are improved. In addition, this design helps to reduce the maintenance cost and time caused by the blockage of the inkjet holes, extends the service life of the printer 2, and provides a more stable and reliable printing experience for users.

[0064] As Figures 3 to 5 shown, in this embodiment, the insertion hole 1121 can be located at the upper end of the support body 11. The ink cartridge unit main body 211 can include an ink storage tank. The ink cartridge unit main body 211 can be columnar. The ink supply end 2110 can be located at the lower end of the ink cartridge unit main body 211, and the ink supply end 2110 has an ink outlet hole that can communicate with the inkjet holes. The ink cartridge unit main body 211 can supply ink to the print head 212 through the ink outlet hole.

[0065] In a feasible embodiment, the humidifying mechanism 12 includes a moisture-retaining packet.

[0066] During specific implementation, the moisture-retaining packet is a substance that can absorb and store moisture. When placed inside the humidifying mechanism 12, it can continuously release moisture to the surrounding environment. This design makes the humidifying process simpler and more effective because the moisture-retaining packet can be easily replaced or re-moistened to maintain its humidifying ability. By placing the moisture-retaining packet inside the cavity 1111 of the base 1, when the ink cartridge unit 21 of the printer 2 is connected to the base 1, the moisture released by the moisture-retaining packet can directly act on the inkjet area 2120, especially the inkjet holes, effectively increasing the humidity in this area and reducing the moisture evaporation of the ink due to long-term non-use. In this way, the blockage problem of the inkjet holes is effectively prevented, and the printer 2 can maintain the fluidity of the ink and the printing quality when used again, ensuring the clarity and continuity of the printing effect. In addition, the design of the humidifying mechanism 12 using the moisture-retaining packet is not only easy to maintain but also low-cost, without the need to design the structure of the support body 11, providing an economical and practical solution for users of the printer 2.

[0067] In this embodiment, the moisture-retaining packet can be an existing cigar moisture-retaining packet, etc.

[0068] As Figure 7 and Figure 8As shown, in another feasible embodiment, the humidifying mechanism 12 includes a humidifying cover 121 and an atomizing sheet 122; the humidifying cover 121 is connected to the bottom wall of the support base body 11, and a liquid storage cavity 1211 is defined between the humidifying cover 121 and the bottom wall of the support base body 11. The humidifying cover 121 has a mist outlet hole 1212 that can communicate with the liquid storage cavity 1211; the mist outlet hole 1212 is located at the top of the humidifying cover 121; the atomizing sheet 122 is arranged in the liquid storage cavity 1211 and can emit mist through the mist outlet hole 1212.

[0069] During specific implementation, the humidifying cover 121 is designed on the bottom wall of the support base body 11 of the base 1. A liquid storage cavity 1211 is defined between the humidifying cover 121 and the bottom wall of the support base body 11 for storing moisture or a specific moisturizing liquid. The mist outlet hole 1212 is provided at the top and can communicate with the liquid storage cavity 1211 to ensure that moisture can be smoothly released through the mist outlet hole 1212. The atomizing sheet 122 is installed in the liquid storage cavity 1211 of the humidifying cover 121, and its function is to convert the moisture in the liquid storage cavity 1211 into mist and emit it outward through the mist outlet hole 1212. When the ink cartridge unit 21 of the printer 2 is connected to the base 1 and the inkjet area 2120 of the ink supply end 2110 is located in the insertion hole 1121 of the base 1, the mist emitted by the atomizing sheet 122 can directly act on the inkjet holes, increasing the humidity of the inkjet area 2120. This design can not only effectively prevent the ink from drying out due to long-term non-use and avoid clogging of the inkjet holes, but also the mist generated by the atomizing sheet 122 is finer and more uniform, which can more comprehensively cover the inkjet area 2120 to ensure the fluidity of the ink and the printing quality during printing.

[0070] As Figure 8 As shown, according to an embodiment of the present invention, the humidifying mechanism 12 further includes a porous liquid guiding structure 123. The porous liquid guiding structure 123 is arranged in the liquid storage cavity 1211. One end of the porous liquid guiding structure 123 is located at the bottom of the liquid storage cavity 1211, and the other end of the porous liquid guiding structure 123 is located at the top of the liquid storage cavity 1211 and is connected to the end of the atomizing sheet 122.

[0071] In specific implementation, the design of the porous liquid guiding structure 123 allows one end thereof to be located at the bottom of the liquid containing cavity 1211, while the other end extends to the top of the liquid containing cavity 1211 and is connected to the end of the atomizing sheet 122. This design enables moisture or moisturizing liquid to evenly rise to the atomizing sheet 122 through the pores of the porous liquid guiding structure 123, thereby ensuring that the atomizing sheet 122 can continuously and stably receive moisture. When the atomizing sheet 122 operates, this moisture will be converted into fine mist and released into the inkjet area 2120 through the mist outlet holes 1212, effectively increasing the humidity of this area. Such a design not only ensures the uniformity and continuity of the humidifying process, but also improves the humidifying efficiency, keeps the environment around the inkjet holes at an appropriate humidity level, and effectively prevents the drying of ink and the blockage of inkjet holes. In addition, the use of the porous liquid guiding structure 123 also simplifies the maintenance work of the humidifying mechanism 12, because the user only needs to add moisturizing liquid to the humidifying cover 121, without frequently replacing the moisturizing package or other humidifying media, thereby reducing the maintenance cost and improving the convenience of use.

[0072] According to an embodiment of the present utility model, the porous liquid guiding structure 123 is a structural member made of cotton or sponge.

[0073] In specific implementation, the material selection of the porous liquid guiding structure 123 is further optimized, and materials such as cotton or sponge with good water absorption and water retention are selected to make the structural member. The selection of this material brings significant technical effects: due to the porosity of cotton or sponge, it can efficiently absorb and store moisture, and at the same time, through the tiny pores in its fiber structure, evenly transport the moisture upward to the atomizing sheet 122. This uniform moisture transport ensures that the atomizing sheet 122 can continuously receive an appropriate amount of moisture, and thus stably generate delicate mist.

[0074] According to an embodiment of the present utility model, the bottom wall of the support base body 11 has a liquid adding hole, and the liquid adding hole communicates with the liquid containing cavity 1211; a liquid adding cover is detachably covered at the liquid adding hole.

[0075] In specific implementation, a liquid adding hole is designed on the bottom wall of the support base body 11, and this liquid adding hole is directly communicated with the liquid containing cavity 1211. Such a design allows the user to conveniently add moisturizing liquid or moisture to the humidifying cover 121 through the liquid adding hole, thereby providing a necessary liquid source for the humidifying mechanism 12. To ensure the hygiene of the liquid adding process and prevent the loss of moisture, a detachable liquid adding cover is specially designed at the liquid adding hole. This liquid adding cover can be tightly covered on the liquid adding hole when not in use, protecting the internal humidifying cover 121 from external pollution and also avoiding the evaporation loss of moisture. When adding liquid, the user only needs to simply remove the liquid adding cover, inject the required liquid into the liquid containing cavity 1211 through the liquid adding hole, and then tightly cover the liquid adding cover again to complete the liquid adding process.

[0076] As Figure 16 and Figure 17 shown, according to an embodiment of the present utility model, it further includes a cleaning mechanism 13, which is arranged in the cavity 1111. When the ink supply end 2110 of the cleaning mechanism 13 is connected to the support base body 11, it can clean the blockage at the ink jet holes.

[0077] During specific implementation, when the ink supply end 2110 of the ink cartridge unit 21 of the printer 2 is connected to the base 1, the cleaning mechanism 13 can effectively clean the ink jet holes, removing foreign objects or dried ink that may block the ink jet holes. The addition of this function significantly improves the maintenance convenience of the printer 2 and the stability of the printing quality. During the use of the printer 2 by users, problems such as blockage of the ink jet holes caused by dried ink or other impurities may occur. The presence of the cleaning mechanism 13 can timely solve these problems, further avoiding a decline in printing quality or printing failure caused by blockage of the ink jet holes. In addition, the design of the cleaning mechanism 13 also considers the simplicity of operation. After the printer 2 is connected to the base 1, users can easily start the cleaning mechanism 13 to clean the ink jet holes, thus ensuring that the printer 2 is always in the best working state. This design not only improves the reliability and durability of the printer 2, but also brings economic savings to users by reducing the maintenance and replacement costs caused by blockage of the ink jet holes. All in all, this technical solution provides a comprehensive and efficient printer 2 maintenance solution for users by integrating the two functions of humidification and cleaning, ensuring the continuity of printing work and the consistency of printing effects. Among them, humidification can play a role in preventing ink solidification, and cleaning can play a role in cleaning ink solidification and blockage impurities.

[0078] As Figure 9 、 Figure 16 and Figure 17 shown, according to an embodiment of the present utility model, the cleaning mechanism 13 includes a suction structure 131. The suction structure 131 is arranged in the cavity 1111. The suction structure 131 can generate negative pressure. The suction structure 131 has a suction port 13221, and under the action of negative pressure, the suction port 13221 can suck the blockage at the ink jet holes.

[0079] In specific implementation, the core function of the suction structure 131 is to generate negative pressure. Through this negative pressure, it can effectively suck the blockage at the inkjet hole through its suction port 13221. This design makes the cleaning process more efficient and precise because the suction structure 131 can directly utilize the suction force generated by the negative pressure to suck away the dried ink or impurities blocking the inkjet hole. In this way, when the printer 2 is not used for a long time or the inkjet hole is blocked due to other reasons, the user can quickly activate the suction structure 131 to clean the inkjet hole and restore the normal printing function of the printer 2. In addition, this suction cleaning method is not only easy to operate, but also has a remarkable cleaning effect, which can ensure the smoothness of the inkjet hole and avoid printing quality problems caused by blockage.

[0080] As Figure 16 and Figure 17 shown, according to an embodiment of the present invention, the suction structure 131 includes a suction component 1311 and a collection component 1312; the suction component 1311 has a suction port 13221 and a discharge port; the collection component 1312 has a receiving cavity and a through hole 13121; the receiving cavity can accommodate the blockage; the discharge port is communicated with the receiving cavity through the through hole 13121.

[0081] In specific implementation, the suction component 1311 is the part that generates negative pressure. It has a suction port 13221 and a discharge port. The suction port 13221 is responsible for sucking the blockage in the inkjet hole, while the discharge port is used to discharge the sucked blockage. The collection component 1312 is designed with a receiving cavity and a through hole 13121. The receiving cavity is used to store the blockage sucked from the inkjet hole, and the through hole 13121 connects the discharge port and the receiving cavity to ensure that the blockage can be smoothly transferred from the suction component 1311 to the receiving cavity of the collection component 1312. The advantage of this design is that it provides a complete blockage treatment process. First, the suction component 1311 generates negative pressure through the suction port 13221 to suck the blockage in the inkjet hole, such as dried ink or impurities. Subsequently, these blockages are transferred to the receiving cavity of the collection component 1312 through the discharge port. The receiving cavity of the collection component 1312 can be easily cleaned and maintained. The user only needs to regularly clean the receiving cavity to keep the suction structure 131 clean and operate efficiently.

[0082] As Figure 16 and Figure 17 shown, in this embodiment, the suction component 1311 can be disposed on the top of the collection component 1312, and the suction component 1311 can be connected to the bottom wall of the support base 11 through the collection component 1312.

[0083] As Figure 16 and Figure 17As shown, according to an embodiment of the present utility model, the object suction assembly 1311 includes a suction pump 1310 and a suction pipe assembly 1320; the suction pump 1310 has a pump inlet and a discharge port; the suction pipe assembly 1320 has an object suction port 13221, a channel and a discharge port 13211; the object suction port 13221 is sequentially connected to the pump inlet through the channel and the discharge port 13211.

[0084] During specific implementation, the suction pump 1310 is a key device for generating negative pressure. It has a pump inlet and a discharge port. The pump inlet is responsible for suction, and the discharge port is used for discharge. The suction pipe assembly 1320 consists of an object suction port 13221, a channel and a discharge port 13211. The object suction port 13221 sucks the inkjet holes. It is connected to the discharge port 13211 through the internal channel, and the discharge port 13211 is also connected to the pump inlet of the suction pump 1310, forming a continuous air flow or liquid flow path. The technical effect of this design is that the suction pump 1310 can effectively generate negative pressure, and suck the blockage in the inkjet holes through the object suction port 13221 of the suction pipe assembly 1320. After being sucked in, the blockage is guided to the discharge port 13211 through the internal channel of the suction pipe assembly 1320 and finally reaches the object collection assembly 1312 through the suction pump 1310.

[0085] As Figure 16 and Figure 17 As shown, according to an embodiment of the present utility model, there are multiple inkjet holes, and the multiple inkjet holes are arranged at intervals on the inkjet area 2120; the cleaning mechanism 13 further includes a driving structure 132. The driving structure 132 is arranged in the cavity 1111, the driving structure 132 is connected to the suction pipe assembly 1320, and can drive the suction pipe assembly 1320 to move relative to the printing end 2121, so that the object suction port 13221 can suck the blockage in each inkjet hole.

[0086] During specific implementation, there are multiple inkjet holes distributed on the inkjet area 2120, and these holes are responsible for jetting ink onto the printing carrier to form imprints. To effectively clean these inkjet holes, the cleaning mechanism 13 not only includes the previously described object suction assembly 1311, but also adds a driving structure 132. The driving structure 132 is installed on the support body 11. It is connected to the suction pipe assembly 1320 and can drive the suction pipe assembly 1320 to move along the printing end 2121 to ensure that the object suction port 13221 can clean each inkjet hole and suck foreign objects or dried ink that may block the hole. The technical effect of this design is that it can continuously clean the inkjet holes in the entire inkjet area 2120. The movement ability of the driving structure 132 enables the object suction port 13221 to accurately align with and suck the blockage in each inkjet hole, and can achieve comprehensive and efficient cleaning regardless of how these holes are distributed.

[0087] As Figure 3 、Figure 16 and Figure 17 As shown in Figure 17 , according to an embodiment of the present utility model, the printing end 2121 is arranged in the horizontal direction; the driving structure 132 can perform a reciprocating linear motion along the first direction F; the first direction F is parallel to the end face of the printing end 2121.

[0088] Specifically, the driving structure 132 is specially designed to be able to perform a reciprocating linear motion along the first direction F, and this first direction F is parallel to the end face of the printing end 2121. This motion mode allows the driving structure 132 to move in the direction parallel to the end face of the printing end 2121, ensuring that the suction port 13221 can cover and clean all the arranged inkjet holes on the printing end 2121. The technical effect is that through the reciprocating linear motion of the driving structure 132, the cleaning mechanism 13 can efficiently clean each inkjet hole in the inkjet area 2120 one by one. This motion trajectory parallel to the end face of the printing end 2121 makes the cleaning process more orderly and comprehensive, and no matter how the inkjet holes are spaced, it can ensure that they are evenly cleaned.

[0089] As Figure 16 and Figure 17 As shown in Figure 17 , according to an embodiment of the present utility model, the driving structure 132 includes a motor 1321, a gear 1322 and a linear motion component 1323; the gear 1322 is coaxially arranged on the output shaft of the motor 1321; the linear motion component 1323 is slidably connected to the support body 11 along the first direction F and is connected to the straw component 1320. The linear motion component 1323 has a plurality of transmission teeth; the plurality of transmission teeth are arranged in sequence along the first direction F, and the transmission teeth are engaged with the gear 1322.

[0090] In specific implementation, the motor 1321 serves as the power source of the driving structure 132. The gear 1322 coaxially arranged with the output shaft of the motor 1321 is responsible for converting the rotational motion of the motor 1321 into the linear motion of the linear motion component 1323. The linear motion component 1323 is slidably connected to the support base 11 along the first direction F, that is, the direction parallel to the end face of the printing end 2121, and is connected to the straw assembly 1320. Multiple transmission teeth are provided on the linear motion component 1323. These transmission teeth are arranged in sequence along the first direction F and mesh with the gear 1322 to ensure that the linear motion component 1323 can perform reciprocating linear motion smoothly. The technical effect of this design is that it realizes the precise control of the movement of the straw assembly 1320 along the direction parallel to the end face of the printing end 2121 to meet the cleaning requirements of multiple inkjet holes in the inkjet area 2120. The high-efficiency power output of the motor 1321 is converted into the linear motion of the linear motion component 1323 through the meshing of the gear 1322 and the transmission teeth, thereby driving the straw assembly 1320 to perform orderly reciprocating movement on the inkjet area 2120. Such a design not only improves the efficiency and accuracy of the cleaning work, but also through the precise control of the motor 1321, it can also realize the precise adjustment of the movement speed and position of the straw assembly 1320 to ensure that each inkjet hole can be effectively cleaned. In addition, the driving structure 132 using the combination of the motor 1321 and the gear 1322 also has the advantages of compact structure, stable operation and simple maintenance. Users can easily control the entire cleaning process through the motor 1321 without manual operation, greatly improving the convenience and automation degree of the cleaning work.

[0091] As Figure 16 and Figure 17 shown, according to an embodiment of the present invention, the linear motion component 1323 includes a rack 13231 and a connecting plate 13232; the rack 13231 is arranged along the first direction F, and the rack 13231 has transmission teeth; the connecting plate 13232 is arranged along the horizontal direction, connects the rack 13231, and the connecting plate 13232 connects the straw assembly 1320, and the connecting plate 13232 is slidably connected to the support base 11 along the first direction F.

[0092] In specific implementation, the rack 13231 is arranged along the first direction F, that is, the direction parallel to the end face of the printing end 2121, and transmission teeth are provided thereon. These transmission teeth mesh with the gear 1322 to realize the reciprocating linear motion of the linear motion component 1323. The connecting plate 13232 is arranged along the horizontal direction. It not only connects the rack 13231, but also is responsible for connecting the straw assembly 1320 to ensure that the linear motion of the rack 13231 can drive the straw assembly 1320 to move along the direction parallel to the end face of the printing end 2121.

[0093] According to an embodiment of the present utility model, the connecting plate 13232 has a mounting hole 13321; the suction pipe assembly 1320 includes a delivery pipe 1301 and a suction nozzle 1302; one end of the delivery pipe 1301 has a pipe inlet, and the other end of the delivery pipe 1301 has a discharge port 13211; the suction nozzle 1302 has a suction opening 13221, a suction nozzle inner cavity, and a suction nozzle outlet; the suction opening 13221 is located at the top of the suction nozzle 1302, and when the ink supply end 2110 is connected to the support body 11, the suction opening 13221 faces the inkjet area 2120, and the suction opening 13221 communicates with the suction nozzle outlet through the suction nozzle inner cavity; the suction nozzle outlet is located at the bottom of the suction nozzle 1302; when one end of the delivery pipe 1301 passes through the connecting plate 13232 from below the connecting plate 13232 through the mounting hole 13321 and communicates with the suction nozzle outlet, the bottom of the suction nozzle 1302 is detachably covered at the mounting hole 13321.

[0094] During specific implementation, the design of the connecting plate 13232 adds a mounting hole 13321, which is below the connecting plate 13232 and is used to achieve precise positioning and fixation of the suction pipe assembly 1320. The suction pipe assembly 1320 consists of two parts, the delivery pipe 1301 and the suction nozzle 1302. One end of the delivery pipe 1301 is the pipe inlet, and the other end is connected to the discharge port 13211; while the suction nozzle 1302 includes a suction opening 13221, a suction nozzle inner cavity, and a suction nozzle outlet. The suction opening 13221 is located at the top of the suction nozzle 1302, faces the inkjet area 2120, is connected to the suction nozzle outlet through the suction nozzle inner cavity, and the suction nozzle outlet is located at the bottom of the suction nozzle 1302. The technical effect is reflected in that one end of the delivery pipe 1301 passes through the connecting plate 13232 through the mounting hole 13321 and is connected to the suction nozzle outlet. This design allows the bottom of the suction nozzle 1302 to be conveniently covered at the mounting hole 13321 and can be disassembled. This design not only simplifies the installation and maintenance process of the suction pipe assembly 1320 but also ensures the precise alignment of the suction opening 13221 with the inkjet area 2120. When the ink supply end 2110 is connected to the support body 11, the suction opening 13221 can accurately align with each inkjet hole, suck the blockage through the negative pressure generated by the suction pump 1310, and transport it to the discharge port 13211 through the delivery pipe 1301. In addition, this design also improves the flexibility and adaptability of the cleaning mechanism 13 because the detachable covering of the suction nozzle 1302 allows the user to quickly replace or clean the suction nozzle 1302 as needed without disassembling the entire suction pipe assembly 1320.

[0095] In this embodiment, the delivery pipe 1301 can be a rubber hose; the bottom of the suction nozzle 1302 can be snap - connected to the mounting hole 13321.

[0096] According to an embodiment of the present utility model, the driving structure 132 further includes a controller, which is connected to the motor 1321 and can control the rotation of the motor 1321.

[0097] During specific implementation, the controller is responsible for connecting and controlling the rotation of the motor 1321.

[0098] As Figure 3 、 Figure 4 and Figure 11 shown, according to an embodiment of the present utility model, the inkjet area 2120 has a first end 2101 and a second end 2102 that are oppositely arranged along the first direction F; the driving structure 132 further includes a first optoelectronic switch 1324 and a second optoelectronic switch 1325; the controller is connected to the first optoelectronic switch 1324 and the second optoelectronic switch 1325; the first optoelectronic switch 1324 and the second optoelectronic switch 1325 are arranged in the cavity 1111 and can detect the position of the linear motion component 1323; wherein, the linear motion component 1323 is located between the first optoelectronic switch 1324 and the second optoelectronic switch 1325 and can move between the first optoelectronic switch 1324 and the second optoelectronic switch 1325, so that the nozzle 1302 moves between the first end 2101 and the second end 2102.

[0099] During specific implementation, the first optoelectronic switch 1324 and the second optoelectronic switch 1325 are connected to the controller to realize the detection and control of the precise position of the linear motion component 1323 (rack 13231). The inkjet area 2120 is defined as having a first end 2101 and a second end 2102 that are oppositely arranged along the first direction F, and the linear motion component 1323, including the rack 13231 and the connecting plate 13232, is designed to be able to reciprocate between these two optoelectronic switches. The technical effect is that the setting of the first optoelectronic switch 1324 and the second optoelectronic switch 1325 enables the controller to accurately detect the current position of the linear motion component 1323. When the linear motion component 1323 moves to the first end 2101 or the second end 2102, the corresponding optoelectronic switch will be triggered. After receiving the signal, the controller can control the motor 1321 to stop rotating or reverse rotating to ensure that the nozzle 1302 moves accurately between the first end 2101 and the second end 2102 of the inkjet area 2120, realizing the comprehensive cleaning of the entire inkjet area 2120. This design provides an automatic control mechanism, enabling the nozzle 1302 to automatically clean between the two ends of the inkjet area 2120 without manual intervention, greatly improving the efficiency and accuracy of the cleaning work. At the same time, through the intelligent management of the controller, the linear motion component 1323 can be prevented from moving beyond the predetermined range, protecting the inkjet area 2120 of the printer 2 from damage.

[0100] In some embodiments, the first optoelectronic switch 1324 and the second optoelectronic switch 1325 may be omitted. The motor 1321 may be a servo motor 1321. The controller may move the nozzle 1302 between the first end 2101 and the second end 2102 by controlling the rotation angle and rotation of the servo motor 1321. It can be understood that generally the volume of the servo motor 1321 is larger than that of an ordinary motor.

[0101] As Figure 17 and Figure 18 shown, according to an embodiment of the present invention, the cleaning mechanism 13 further includes a scraping structure 133. The scraping structure 133 protrudes from the nozzle 1302. When the ink supply end 2110 is connected to the support base 11, the scraping structure 133 contacts the inkjet area 2120 to scrape the clogging substances at the inkjet holes under the drive of the drive structure 132.

[0102] Specifically, the scraping structure 133 is designed to protrude from the nozzle 1302. When the ink supply end 2110 is connected to the support base 11, the scraping structure 133 can directly contact the inkjet area 2120. Under the drive of the drive structure 132, the scraping structure 133 moves along the inkjet area 2120, and uses its protruding part to physically scrape the inkjet holes to remove foreign substances or dried ink clogging in the inkjet holes. The technical effect is that the addition of the scraping structure 133 provides a physical cleaning means for the cleaning mechanism 13, which is particularly effective for stubborn blockages that are difficult to remove by suction. The physical force of the scraping structure 133 can directly remove the blockage from the inkjet hole, thereby restoring the smoothness of the inkjet hole. In addition, the combined use of the scraping structure 133 and the suction structure 131 can provide a more comprehensive cleaning solution, ensuring that not only the blockage is physically removed from the inkjet hole, but also the residue can be further cleaned by the suction structure 131, improving the thoroughness of cleaning.

[0105] During specific implementation, the setting of the scraping structure 133 can facilitate people to switch according to actual needs to improve the cleanliness. Moreover, since there are three scraping structures 133, the service life of the scraping structure 133 can be extended. Even if one is damaged, the other two can be quickly replaced to improve the replacement efficiency.
