Detailed implementation manners
[0031] The following further describes the present application in detail with reference to the Figures 1 - 5 accompanying drawings.
[0032] An embodiment of the present application discloses a digital printing platform with a cleaning function.
[0033] Referring to Figures 1 - 3 , a digital printing platform with a cleaning function includes a printer 1. A guiding belt 2 for guiding materials is installed in the printer 1. A printer head is installed above the guiding belt 2 on the printer 1 for printing a printed matter entering through the guiding belt 2. A cleaning assembly for wiping the guiding belt 2 is provided in the printer 1. The cleaning assembly includes a cleaning box 3, a connecting plate 4, a rotary brush 5, a water delivery pipe 6, a nozzle 7, and a motor 8.
[0034] The cleaning box 3 is detachably installed in the printer 1 and is located below the guiding belt 2. There are two connecting plates 4 which are respectively rotatably connected to both side walls at the top inside the cleaning box 3. The rotary brush 5 is installed between the two connecting plates 4. The bottom of the rotary brush 5 is located inside the cleaning box 3, and the top of the rotary brush 5 is in contact with the guiding belt 2. There are two water delivery pipes 6 which are respectively fixedly connected to the top ends of both side walls of the cleaning box 3. There are two groups of nozzles 7, each group has a plurality of nozzles and is installed on both side walls near the water delivery pipe 6 at the top inside the cleaning box 3. The water inlet ends of the nozzles 7 all penetrate through the cleaning box 3 and are respectively fixedly connected to the water delivery pipes 6. The motor 8 is fixedly connected to the top end of one side wall of the cleaning box 3. The output end of the motor 8 penetrates through the cleaning box 3 and is fixedly connected to one of the connecting plates 4.
[0035] Referring to Figure 2 , an air knife 9 is installed on one side of the cleaning box 3 inside the printer 1. The output end of the air knife 9 is located directly below the guiding belt 2. The wiped guiding belt 2 can be dried through the air knife 9 to prevent water stains from remaining on the guiding belt 2.
[0036] Referring to Figure 2 and Figure 3 , an extrusion mesh plate 10 is fixedly connected to the top end inside the cleaning box 3. The upper surface of the extrusion mesh plate 10 abuts against the rotary brush 5. When the rotary brush 5 rotates and moves into the cleaning box 3, it will abut against the extrusion mesh plate 10 to squeeze the rotary brush 5, squeezing out the sewage generated when the rotary brush 5 wipes the guiding belt 2, and then re-wetting it through the nozzle 7 to improve the wiping effect of the rotary brush 5.
[0037] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4 , a connecting component is provided between the connecting plate 4 and the rolling brush 5. The connecting component includes a connecting shaft 11. The rolling brush 5 is sleeved on the connecting shaft 11 and forms a fixed connection. Accommodating grooves 12 are formed at both ends of the connecting shaft 11. Springs 13 are fixedly connected in the accommodating grooves 12. The other ends of the springs 13 are fixedly connected with inserting rods 14. The inserting rods 14 are slidably connected with the accommodating grooves 12. Insertion holes 15 are formed on the side walls of the connecting plate 4 close to the rolling brush 5. The ends of the inserting rods 14 away from the springs 13 are respectively inserted into the insertion holes 15. Slide grooves 16 are formed above the accommodating grooves 12 at both ends of the connecting shaft 11. Pulling plates 17 are slidably connected in the slide grooves 16. The bottom ends of the pulling plates 17 are fixedly connected with the upper sides of the ends of the inserting rods 14 away from the insertion holes 15. Remove the cleaning box 3, and then push the two pulling plates 17 to move in the slide grooves 16, so that the inserting rods 14 squeeze the springs 13 to move the inserting rods 14 into the accommodating grooves 12, and the rolling brush 5 can be disassembled and replaced.
[0038] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4 , the accommodating grooves 12, the inserting rods 14 and the insertion holes 15 are all square structures. Through the square-structured accommodating grooves 12, inserting rods 14 and insertion holes 15, when the connecting plate 4 rotates, the inserting rods 14 can be driven to rotate, so that the connecting shaft 11 rotates together, preventing the inserting rods 14 from rotating in the insertion holes 15 when the motor 8 drives the connecting plate 4 to rotate, resulting in the inability of the rolling brush 5 to rotate.
[0039] Reference Figure 2 , a drainage hose 18 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the cleaning box 3. The end of the drainage hose 18 away from the cleaning box 3 penetrates through the bottom end of the printer 1 and forms a sliding connection. Through the drainage hose 18, the sewage in the cleaning box 3 can be discharged to prevent the sewage from accumulating and contacting the rolling brush 5.
[0040] Reference Figure 4 , limiting rods 19 are fixedly connected to the four ends of the side walls of the inserting rods 14 close to the springs 13. The ends of the limiting rods 19 away from the inserting rods 14 penetrate through one side wall of the accommodating grooves 12. Through the limiting rods 19, the stability of the inserting rods 14 can be improved, preventing the inserting rods 14 from shaking in the accommodating grooves 12 when the connecting plate 4 drives the inserting rods 14 to rotate.
[0041] Reference Figure 4 , the length of the slide groove 16 is greater than the length of the inserting rod 14, preventing the pulling plate 17 from being unable to completely receive the inserting rod 14 into the accommodating groove 12 when moving to one end of the slide groove 16, resulting in difficulty in disassembling and installing the rolling brush 5.
[0042] The implementation principle of a digital printing platform with a cleaning function in the embodiment of the present application is as follows: when in use, first connect the external water supply device to the water pipe 6, supply water to the water pipe 6, so that the nozzle 7 sprays the clean water in the water pipe 6 onto the roller brush 5 in the cleaning box 3 to wet the roller brush 5. When the printed piece enters the printer 1 through the guide belt 2 and is printed using the printer head, if ink drops onto the guide belt 2 during the process, the connecting plate 4 can be rotated by starting the motor 8 to drive the roller brush 5 to rotate, so that the wet roller brush 5 wipes the guide belt 2. During the startup process, the guide belt 2 will move the ink-carrying part to the roller brush. 5, wipe the ink clean, and start the wind knife 9 at the same time. When the part of the guide belt 2 to be wiped moves to the wind knife 9, the water stains remaining on the guide belt 2 can be dried by air to prevent the wet guide belt 2 from contacting the printed part or continuing to be contaminated with dust, which affects the printing effect of the printed part. At the same time, when the roller brush 5 moves into the cleaning box 3, it will abut against the extrusion screen 10 to squeeze the roller brush 5, and squeeze out the sewage generated when the roller brush 5 wipes the guide belt 2, and then re-wet it through the nozzle 7 to improve the wiping effect of the roller brush 5, and try to avoid the ink from easily dripping on the guide belt and mixing with dust to form dirt, which affects the smoothness of the guide belt.
[0043] The above are all preferred embodiments of the present application, and the protection scope of the present application is not limited thereto. Therefore, any equivalent changes made according to the structure, shape, and principle of the present application should be included in the protection scope of the present application.
