Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of printers, and particularly relates to an anti-flying ink device for an inkjet printer. Background Art

[0002] When an inkjet printer pauses, in order to prevent the inkjet nozzles from being blocked due to dryness, the inkjet nozzles need to perform an inkjet action within a certain period of time, which is commonly called flash jetting. During flash jetting, tiny ink droplets will splash. Currently, the number of inkjet nozzles used on inkjet printers is increasing. When multiple nozzles perform flash jetting, the flying ink is becoming more and more serious, which is likely to cause pollution to the machine and the surrounding environment. Therefore, it is necessary to design an anti-flying ink device for an inkjet printer. Content of the Utility Model

[0003] The main purpose of the utility model is to provide an anti-flying ink device for an inkjet printer, which can effectively solve the problems in the background art.

[0004] To achieve the above purpose, the utility model is realized through the following technical solutions:

[0005] An anti-flying ink device for an inkjet printer, comprising

[0006] a box body, with a receiving groove provided above;

[0007] two chutes, which are obliquely arranged on both side walls of the receiving groove;

[0008] a flap, serving as the front side plate of the receiving groove, and the lower part is rotatably connected to the box body;

[0009] a splash-proof plate, having a number of through holes. One end of the splash-proof plate is fixed with a guide shaft, and both ends of the guide shaft are respectively inserted into the two chutes and are in sliding fit with the chutes. The other end of the splash-proof plate is connected to the upper part of the flap through a hinge, and when the flap rotates, it can drive the splash-proof plate to move along the chute.

[0010] Preferably, ear plates are fixed on both sides of the lower part of the flap, connection holes are provided on both side walls of the receiving groove, and the ear plates are connected to the connection holes through pin shafts.

[0011] Preferably, the connection holes are vertical waist-shaped holes, the top of the flap has a clamping portion bent backward, and clamping plates are fixed on both sides of the front top of the receiving groove.

[0015] Preferably, an LED spotlight is fixed on the side wall of the receiving groove.

[0016] The present utility model provides an anti-flying ink device for an inkjet printer, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0017] 1. When the inkjet printer pauses working, the printhead carriage moves to directly above the receiving groove, and then flash spraying is performed. The tiny ink droplets ejected by the flash spraying are sprayed onto the splash-proof plate, gather on the splash-proof plate and flow into the receiving groove through the through holes, avoiding the pollution of the machine and the surrounding environment caused by the splashing of ink droplets.

[0018] 2. After the flash spraying is completed, the flap is rotated outward, and the flap drives the splash-proof plate to move forward along the sliding groove, and the distance between the splash-proof plate and the printhead carriage increases, so that there is enough space to maintain and repair the printhead.

[0030] Embodiment

[0031] Referring to Figure 1-4 , an anti-flying ink device for an inkjet printer, comprising a box body 1, two chutes 2, a flap 3 and a splash-proof plate 4;

[0032] A receiving groove 11 is provided above the box body 1; the two chutes 2 are obliquely arranged on the two side walls of the receiving groove 11; the flap 3 serves as the front side plate of the receiving groove 11, and the lower part is rotatably connected to the box body 1; the splash-proof plate 4 has a plurality of through holes 41, one end of the splash-proof plate 4 is fixed with a guide shaft 5, and both ends of the guide shaft 5 are respectively inserted into the two chutes 2 and are slidably matched with the chutes 2. The other end of the splash-proof plate 4 is connected to the upper part of the flap 3 through a hinge 6, and when the flap 3 rotates, it can drive the splash-proof plate 4 to move along the chute 2.

[0033] Referring to Figure 5 , in the initial state of the device, the flap 3 is in a vertical state. As the front side plate of the receiving groove 11, it is connected to the box body 1 to form a receiving groove 11 with an open upper end. At this time, the splash guard 4 is located at the top of the receiving groove 11 and is in a horizontal state. When the inkjet printer pauses, the printhead carriage moves directly above the receiving groove 11 and then performs flash spraying. The tiny ink droplets sprayed by the flash spraying are sprayed onto the splash guard 4, converge on the splash guard 4, and flow into the receiving groove 11 through the through holes 41, avoiding the pollution of the machine and the surrounding environment caused by ink droplet splashing. Preferably, the distance between the printhead carriage and the splash guard 4 is preferably controlled within 2 cm to reduce the spraying range.

[0034] Referring to Figure 6 , after the flash spraying is completed, the flap 3 is rotated outward, and the flap 3 drives the splash guard 4 to move forward along the chute 2. The distance between the splash guard 4 and the printhead carriage increases, so that there is enough space for maintaining and servicing the printhead.

[0035] In a specific embodiment, a way of rotatably connecting the flap 3 to the box body 1 is provided. Ears 7 are fixed on both sides of the lower part of the flap 3. Connecting holes 12 are provided on both side walls of the receiving groove 11. The ears 7 and the connecting holes 12 are connected by a pin shaft.

[0036] In a specific embodiment, the connecting hole 12 is a vertical waist-shaped hole. The top of the flap 3 has a clamping portion 31 bent backward. Clamping plates 13 are fixed on both sides of the front top of the receiving groove 11. When the flap 3 rotates to the vertical state, due to the setting of the waist-shaped hole, the flap 3 can be pulled upward and then released, so that the clamping portion 31 is clamped into the clamping plate 13, and the flap 3 is limited by the clamping plate 13 to ensure the firm connection between the flap 3 and the box body 1.

[0037] In a specific embodiment, a handle 8 is fixed on the outer side surface of the flap 3 to facilitate the rotation of the flap 3.

[0038] In a specific embodiment, the lower part of the receiving groove 11 is of a V-shaped structure, and a drain hole 14 is provided at the bottom. The collected ink droplets are discharged through the drain hole 14.

[0039] In a specific embodiment, the front side plate of the receiving groove 11 further includes a fixing plate 15. The fixing plate 15 is fixedly connected to the box body 1 and is located below the flap 3. The fixing plate 15 can ensure that the bottom of the receiving groove 11 itself has a certain depth, and the ink droplets will not leak out of the receiving groove 11 due to the rotation of the flap 3.

[0040] In a specific embodiment, an LED spotlight is fixed on the side wall of the receiving groove 11, which can more clearly observe the state of the printhead and facilitate the maintenance and servicing of the printhead.

[0041] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, rather than to limit it; although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those of ordinary skill in the art should understand that: they can still modify the technical solutions recorded in the foregoing embodiments, or perform equivalent replacements on some of the technical features; and these modifications or replacements do not make the essence of the corresponding technical solutions deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention.
