The first ultrasonic generator 32 can generate ultrasonic waves to cause the cleaning liquid in the first cleaning tank 31 to generate high-frequency vibrations to clean the nozzle in the first cleaning tank 31.

[0024] The beneficial effects of the embodiments of the present utility model are as follows:

[0025] The ceramic inkjet nozzle cleaning device of the present utility model embodiment is provided with a liquid supply component 2 and an integral cleaning component 3, wherein the liquid supply component 2 includes a liquid supply barrel 21 and a liquid supply part 22, and the integral cleaning component 3 includes a first cleaning tank 31 and a first ultrasonic generator 32. When the nozzle needs to be cleaned, the nozzle is removed and placed in the first cleaning tank 31. The liquid supply part 22 inputs the cleaning liquid in the liquid supply barrel 21 into the first cleaning tank 31, and then the first ultrasonic generator 32 is started. The cleaning liquid is vibrated at high frequency by the first ultrasonic generator 32. During the high-frequency vibration, impurities in the pores in the nozzle can be effectively removed, thereby achieving an efficient cleaning effect with high cleaning efficiency.

[0026] Specifically, the box body 1 includes a bottom plate 13 and a support plate 14, wherein the bottom plate 13 is located below the support plate 14, and the liquid storage area 11 is provided between the bottom plate 13 and the support plate 14. The liquid storage area 11 is located at the lower portion of the box body 1, the liquid supply barrel 21 is provided on the bottom plate 13, and the liquid supply member 22 is provided on the support plate 14. The liquid supply member 22 is provided on a side of the support plate 14 close to the liquid supply barrel 21, so that it can be close to the liquid supply barrel 21 to facilitate the delivery of cleaning liquid.

[0027] See also Figure 3 After cleaning, the ceramic inkjet nozzle cleaning device also includes a collecting component 4, which includes a liquid collecting barrel 41. The liquid collecting barrel 41 is arranged on the bottom plate 13 and is located on the side of the liquid supply barrel 21. It is used to collect the cleaning liquid after cleaning. The liquid after cleaning the nozzle will flow from the upper part of the box body 1 into the liquid collecting barrel 41 at the lower part of the box body 1.

[0028] The first ultrasonic generator 32 is arranged at the bottom of the first cleaning tank 31, which can ensure that the ultrasonic wave propagates more effectively in the cleaning liquid, making the cavitation effect more uniform and intense in the entire cleaning tank, thereby ensuring that the pores, blind holes or narrow gaps are fully cleaned.

[0029] The integrated cleaning assembly 3 can be used to clean the disassembled nozzles, but for nozzles that need to be cleaned urgently on the production line, the disassembly and cleaning method cannot meet the immediate needs, resulting in production interruption. In order to solve the above problem, the embodiment of the utility model integrates the online cleaning function. Specifically, see Figure 4The ceramic inkjet printer nozzle cleaning device further includes a detachable cleaning assembly 5. A storage box 121 is further provided in the cleaning area 12. The opening of the storage box 121 faces the outside of the housing 1, and the detachable cleaning assembly 5 can be inserted into the storage box 121. When the nozzles on the line need to be cleaned urgently, there is no need to disassemble the nozzles. The detachable cleaning assembly 5 only needs to be removed from the storage box 121 and placed on the nozzles on the line to clean the nozzles without disassembling the nozzles.

[0030] Specifically, the detachable cleaning assembly 5 includes a housing 51, a receiving cavity 511 provided within the housing 51, a second cleaning tank 52 provided within the receiving cavity 511, and a second ultrasonic generator 53 connected to the second cleaning tank 52. During use, after the detachable cleaning assembly 5 is removed from the storage box 121, the second cleaning tank 52 is placed on the online nozzle, and the second cleaning tank 52 is filled with cleaning liquid. The second ultrasonic generator 53 can vibrate the cleaning liquid in the second cleaning tank 52 to clean the nozzle in the second cleaning tank 52. After cleaning is completed, the detachable cleaning assembly 5 is removed or reinserted into the storage box 121 to complete the online cleaning process.

[0031] To introduce cleaning liquid into the second cleaning tank 52, the detachable cleaning assembly 5 further includes a liquid inlet pipe 54. A connecting pipe 55 is provided at the bottom of the second cleaning tank 52. The connecting pipe 55 extends downward and is connected to the liquid outlet end of the liquid inlet pipe 54. When the cleaning liquid is introduced into the liquid inlet pipe 54, the cleaning liquid can sequentially pass through the liquid inlet pipe 54 and the connecting pipe 55 into the second cleaning tank 52. Since the detachable cleaning assembly 5 is removed and used separately, after the second cleaning tank 52 is covered around the periphery of the nozzle, the cleaning liquid is gradually introduced from the bottom of the second cleaning tank 52 using the liquid inlet pipe 54 and the connecting pipe 55. This is more conducive to immersing the nozzle and is less likely to cause splashing, thereby avoiding affecting other components.

[0032] During cleaning, the cleaning liquid will produce certain vibrations and may overflow. At the same time, the cleaning liquid will form waste liquid after cleaning. An overflow groove 56 is also provided between the outer shell 51 and the upper edge of the second cleaning tank 52. The overflowed cleaning liquid or the waste liquid after cleaning will enter the overflow groove 56, and an overflow pipe 57 is provided at the bottom of the overflow groove 56. The overflow pipe 57 extends downward from the overflow groove 56. The cleaning liquid entering the overflow groove 56 will flow out through the overflow pipe 57. The bottom of the accommodating cavity 511 is provided with a perforation 512. The perforation 512 can not only dissipate heat for the second ultrasonic generator 53, but also drain the liquid flowing out of the overflow pipe 57.

[0033] For ease of use, the detachable cleaning assembly 5 also includes a handle 58, one end of which is connected to a side of the opening of the outer shell 51 close to the storage box 121, and the other end of the handle 58 is connected to the side of the liquid inlet pipe 54. The handle 58 is formed in a ring shape, which is convenient for the user to hold.

[0034] The above is a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this technical field, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principles of the present invention. These improvements and modifications are also considered to be within the scope of protection of the present invention.
