Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of inkjet printer related equipment, and particularly relates to an inkjet printer nozzle cleaning mechanism. Background Technique

[0002] The inkjet printer nozzle cleaning mechanism is an important part of the printer responsible for cleaning the print head to ensure print quality and extend the service life of the printer. The basic principle of the inkjet printer nozzle cleaning mechanism is to remove the dried ink or dirt on the print head through physical or chemical methods to prevent clogging and ensure print quality. Regularly cleaning the print head can remove the dried ink or dirt on the print head and ensure that the printed text and images are clear. Through effective cleaning, damage to the print head caused by clogging can be avoided, thereby extending the service life of the printer.

[0003] In the utility model patent named "An Inkjet Printer Nozzle Cleaning Mechanism" (application number 202223106769.0), it is proposed that "the utility model relates to an inkjet printer nozzle cleaning mechanism, including a working plate. A water collecting groove is opened at the center of the top of the working plate, and two clamping mechanisms are arranged at the center of the bottom of the water collecting groove. Straight rods are fixedly connected to the corners of the top of the working plate, and the tops of the four straight rods are fixedly connected to the same top plate. Through the reciprocating motor, screw rod, lifting block and shielding cylinder, when the reciprocating motor is started to rotate, it drives the screw rod to rotate, and then drives the lifting block to move downward along the vertical direction, and then drives the first connecting rod and the shielding cylinder to move downward, covering the printer nozzle to be cleaned inside the shielding cylinder. When the first electric telescopic rod is started to extend, it drives the middle plate to enter the inside of the shielding cylinder, forming a basic sealed environment, avoiding water splashing, preventing water source from seeping into the electrical equipment and causing damage to it, protecting the working environment of workers, and reducing the cleaning burden of workers, and the design practicability is significantly improved." However, this utility model patent has the following problems:

[0004] 1. In this application, the shielding cylinder is used to block the sewage splashed during cleaning, but no relevant structure is designed to clean the inner wall of the shielding cylinder. Such a treatment method is not good because it does not consider that the sewage containing ink will adhere to the inner wall of the shielding cylinder. If it is not cleaned in time, it will form lumps and be more difficult to clean. However, due to the installation and fixation of the shielding cylinder, it is not easy to clean its inner wall, and such a method is too labor-consuming. Summary of the Utility Model

[0029] Principle description:

[0030] The basic function of this device is the same as that of the utility model patent named an inkjet printer nozzle cleaning mechanism (application number 202223106769.0). The inkjet printer nozzle is placed on the workbench 1. After the water pump 2 is connected to supply water, the device cleans the inkjet printer nozzle through the cleaning component 3. The shielding cylinder 5 has the effect of shielding the splashing of sewage, and the sewage is collected and discharged through the sewage tank 6. It should be noted that when it is necessary to clean the inner wall of the shielding cylinder 5, the water pump 2 is started to make the purified water enter the connecting pipe 7, the hydraulic chamber 8, the corrugated pipe 9 and the water distribution pipe 10 in sequence. Finally, the purified water is sprayed out from the first spray pipe 11 and the second spray pipe 12 to clean the inner wall of the shielding cylinder 5. When the purified water passes through the hydraulic chamber 8, it drives the fan blades 26 to rotate, causing the first rotating shaft 13 to rotate. Therefore, the first turntable 14 rotates, and the sliding rod 15 moves accordingly, causing the chute 19 to move, driving the second turntable 18 to make reciprocating movements. The movement of the second turntable 18 drives the first gear 20 to rotate, driving the first drive chain 21 to move. Therefore, the second gear 22 rotates, causing the first spray pipe 11 to make reciprocating movements to achieve the effect of expanding the cleaning range. The second gear 22 drives the third gear 23 to rotate. Therefore, the second drive chain 24 operates to drive the fourth gear 25 to move, and the rotation of the fourth gear 25 causes the second spray pipe 12 to make reciprocating movements to achieve the effect of expanding the cleaning range.

[0031] Preferably, the first turntable 14 is installed with a rubber cushion layer. With such a structural design, the frictional damage suffered by the first turntable 14 is reduced, and the service life of the device is prolonged.

[0032] Preferably, the sliding rod 15 is installed with a rubber cushion layer. With such a structural design, the frictional damage suffered by the sliding rod 15 is reduced, and the service life of the device is prolonged.

[0033] Preferably, the chute 19 is installed with a rubber cushion layer. With such a structural design, the frictional damage suffered by the chute 19 is reduced, and the service life of the device is prolonged.

[0034] Preferably, a rubber cushion layer is installed on the second turntable 18. With such a structural design, the frictional damage suffered by the second turntable 18 is reduced, and the service life of the equipment is prolonged.
