Detailed Implementation Manner

[0022] In order to more clearly understand the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present utility model, the present utility model will be further described below with reference to the drawings and embodiments. It should be noted that, without conflict, the embodiments of the present application and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0023] In the following description, many specific details are set forth in order to fully understand the present utility model. However, the present utility model can also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Therefore, the present utility model is not limited by the specific embodiments disclosed in the following specification.

[0024] Example 1, as Figures 1 - 5As shown in the figure, the utility model provides a cleaning device for a printer, which includes a cleaning box 1. A partition 2 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the cleaning box 1. A water tank 3 is fixedly installed on the top of the partition 2. The output end of the water tank 3 is fixedly communicated with a connecting pipe 4. The output end of the connecting pipe 4 is fixedly communicated with a water pump 5. The output end of the water pump 5 is fixedly communicated with a conveying pipe 6. A group of nozzles 7 are fixedly communicated with the outer wall of the conveying pipe 6. Two fixing plates 8 are fixedly installed on the inner wall of the cleaning box 1. A slide rail 9 is fixedly installed on the top of one of the two fixing plates 8. A first slider 10 is movably sleeved on the outer wall of the slide rail 9. Two bearing seats 11 are fixedly installed on the top of the other of the two fixing plates 8. A first threaded rod 12 is fixedly inserted between the interiors of the two bearing seats 11. A threaded block 13 is threadedly connected to the outer wall of the first threaded rod 12. A first motor 14 is fixedly connected to one side of the outer wall of the first threaded rod 12. An installation frame 15 is fixedly installed between the tops of the first slider 10 and the threaded block 13. Two first bearings 16 are fixedly inserted into the inner wall of the installation frame 15. A brush roller 17 is fixedly inserted between the interiors of the two first bearings 16. A second motor 18 is fixedly connected to one side of the outer wall of the brush roller 17.

[0025] The overall effect achieved by the entire Embodiment 1 is that after the printer's material slot or printing table is firmly installed in place, first, the third motor 20 is started. The output end of the third motor drives the second threaded rod 21 to rotate. Through the threaded transmission mechanism, the rotation of the second threaded rod 21 drives the lifting plate 23 to move smoothly downward, so that the bottom of the material slot or printing table is in close contact with the bristles of the brush roller 17. Immediately afterwards, the second motor 18 is started. The output end of the second motor drives the brush roller 17 to rotate at a high speed. This action effectively utilizes the frictional force and rotational force of the bristles to deeply clean the bottom of the material slot or printing table, removing residual resin, cured substances, and impurities. At the same time, the first motor 14 is also started. The output end of the first motor drives the first threaded rod 12 to rotate, thereby driving the threaded block 13 and the entire installation frame 15 to move back and forth in the horizontal direction. The movement of the installation frame 15 drives the brush roller 17 to move synchronously, thus realizing a comprehensive and detailed cleaning coverage of the bottom area of the material slot or printing table. After the cleaning operation is completed, the staff operates the water pump 5 to start working. The water pump 5 extracts clean water from the interior of the water tank 3 and, through pressurization, makes the water flow smoothly into the conveying pipe 6. Subsequently, under the action of a group of nozzles 7, the water sprays upward in the form of small water columns to further rinse the material slot or printing table that has just undergone physical brushing, thoroughly removing residual cleaning agents and tiny particles to ensure the best cleaning effect. In summary, the entire cleaning process realizes automation and high efficiency, not only improving the cleaning efficiency but also reducing manual intervention and the risk of operators coming into contact with harmful substances.

[0026] Embodiment 2, as Figures 2 - 5As shown in the figure, a guide rod 19 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the inner wall of the cleaning box 1, and the bottom of the partition plate 2 is fixedly connected to the top of the guide rod 19. A third motor 20 is fixedly installed on the top of the partition plate 2, and the output end of the third motor 20 movably penetrates inside the partition plate 2. The output end of the third motor 20 is fixedly connected to a second threaded rod 21. A second bearing 22 is fixedly sleeved on the outer surface of the second threaded rod 21. A lifting plate 23 is threadedly connected to the outer surface of the second threaded rod 21. A chute 24 is opened at the bottom of the lifting plate 23. A second slider 25 is slidably embedded in the inner surface of the chute 24. An adjusting screw rod 26 is threadedly connected to the inner wall of the cleaning box 1. A third bearing 27 is fixedly sleeved on the outer surface of the adjusting screw rod 26. A moving clamping plate 28 is fixedly sleeved on the outer surface of the third bearing 27. The bottom of the second slider 25 is fixedly connected to the top of the moving clamping plate 28. A fixed clamping plate 29 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the lifting plate 23. The bottom of the cleaning box 1 is fixedly communicated with a collection box 30.

[0027] The effect achieved by the entire Embodiment 2 is as follows. First, the printer material tank and the printing table are accurately placed between the moving clamping plate 28 and the fixed clamping plate 29. Since the adjusting screw rod 26 is threadedly connected to the inner wall of the cleaning box 1, by rotating the adjusting screw rod 26 clockwise or counterclockwise, the moving distance of the moving clamping plate 28 in the horizontal direction can be flexibly controlled until the moving clamping plate 28 tightly clamps the printer material tank or the printing table. This process ensures that the printer material tank and the printing table are firmly and stably fixed between the moving clamping plate 28 and the fixed clamping plate 29, effectively preventing possible shaking or displacement during the subsequent cleaning process, thereby ensuring the safety and effectiveness of the cleaning operation.

[0028] Working principle: When in use, first, an appropriate amount of cleaning solution or pure water needs to be injected into the interior of the water tank 3 to ensure the effectiveness of the subsequent cleaning process. Subsequently, the printer trough and the printing table are accurately placed between the movable clamping plate 28 and the fixed clamping plate 29. By rotating the adjusting screw rod 26 and utilizing the mechanical principle of threaded connection, the movable clamping plate 28 is driven to move precisely in the horizontal direction until both tightly clamp the trough or the printing table, achieving firm fixation and preventing displacement during the cleaning process. Then, the staff starts the third motor 20, and its output shaft drives the second threaded rod 21 to rotate. The rotation of the second threaded rod 21 drives the lifting plate 23 to descend smoothly in the vertical direction until the bottom of the trough or the printing table is in close contact with the bristles of the brush roller 17, forming an effective cleaning interface. Subsequently, the second motor 18 is started, and its output end drives the brush roller 17 to rotate at a high speed. By using the friction and impact force of the rotating bristles, the bottom of the trough or the printing table is deeply cleaned to remove the dirt and residues attached to the surface. At the same time, the first motor 14 is started, and its output shaft rotates to drive the first threaded rod 12 to rotate synchronously. According to the linear motion conversion principle of threaded connection, the threaded block 13 and the mounting bracket 15 thereon are pushed to move back and forth in the horizontal direction. This movement, combined with the high-speed rotation of the brush roller 17, realizes a comprehensive and continuous cleaning operation on the bottom area of the trough or the printing table. After the cleaning operation is completed, the staff operates the water pump 5 to start. The water pump 5 extracts the cleaning water or solution from the interior of the water tank 3 and pressurizes the fluid through the internal pressure mechanism, making it flow through the delivery pipe 6 at a certain pressure. Subsequently, at a group of nozzles 7, the pressurized water is sprayed upward in a fine stream to rinse the surface of the trough or the printing table, thoroughly removing the residues and the cleaning agent, and completing the entire cleaning process.

[0029] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not a limitation to the present invention in other forms. Any person skilled in the art may use the disclosed technical content to make changes or modifications into equivalent embodiments with equivalent changes and apply them to other fields. However, as long as it does not depart from the technical solution content of the present invention, any simple modification, equivalent change, and modification made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present invention still fall within the protection scope of the technical solution of the present invention.
