[0002] The printhead is the core component of a printing machine, responsible for precisely spraying ink onto the print media. After extended use or inactivity, the printhead may become clogged due to ink drying, accumulation of impurities, and other factors, affecting print quality and clarity. The cleaning device effectively clears these blockages, ensuring smooth printhead operation.

[0003] In the prior art, a nozzle is usually fixed at the upper opening of a cleaning box, and a scraper and a water pipe are provided at the lower end of the box so as to perform scraping and cleaning on the nozzle. However, in this method, the nozzle is fixed at the opening of the cleaning box, which makes it inconvenient to adjust the angle of the nozzle. The fixed position of the nozzle and the inconvenient adjustment of the angle may result in the cleaning liquid or the scraper failing to fully cover all areas that need to be cleaned, especially the fine parts on the surface of the nozzle or inside the nozzle. This may result in incomplete cleaning of some hard-to-reach areas, leaving ink residue or dirt, affecting the printing quality and the life of the nozzle. Utility Model Content

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0022] To better understand the present invention, the following examples further illustrate the present invention. However, the present invention is not limited to the following examples. In the following description, numerous specific details are provided to provide a more thorough understanding of the present invention. However, it is obvious to those skilled in the art that the present invention can be practiced without one or more of these details.

[0023] like Figure 1 、 2 As shown in Figure 3, a printing machine nozzle cleaning device includes a base 101, the upper surface of the base 101 is rotatably connected to a cylinder 102, the upper end of the cylinder 102 is hinged with a cylinder cover 103, and the interior of the cylinder 102 is provided with a partition 104 and an annular collecting box 105. By providing the annular collecting box 105, the sewage generated by cleaning the nozzle can be collected to avoid polluting the environment. A number of installation boxes 106 are evenly provided on the upper end of the partition 104, and a fixed block 107 for placing the nozzle is provided inside the installation box 106. An adjusting component for adjusting the angle of the fixed block 107 is provided inside the installation box 106, and a cleaning component for cleaning the nozzle is provided at the lower end of the partition 104.

[0024] like Figure 1 、 3As shown, the adjustment component includes a rotating column 201 rotatably arranged inside the installation box 106, and a number of fixed blocks 107 are evenly arranged on the rotating column 201. A worm gear 202 is provided at the end of the rotating column 201 away from the fixed block 107, and a motor 203 is provided at the upper end of the installation box 106. The output end of the motor 203 is connected to a worm 204 engaged with the worm gear 202 through a coupling. Starting the motor 203 can rotate the worm 204, and the rotation of the worm 204 drives the worm gear 202 to rotate, and the worm gear 202 drives the rotating column 201 to rotate, thereby rotating the fixed block 107. The fixed block 107 can drive the nozzle to rotate so as to adjust the cleaning angle of the nozzle. By adjusting the nozzle angle, the cleaning liquid can more accurately cover the key areas of the nozzle, including the fine structures inside and around the nozzle, effectively removing ink residue and dust, improving the cleaning quality, and extending the service life of the nozzle.

[0025] like Figure 1 、 2 As shown in Figure 4, the cleaning component includes a water pump 301 arranged at the upper end of the partition 104, and a water spray box 302 is provided on the side wall of the installation box 106. The water spray box 302 and the water pump 301 are connected by a connecting pipe 303. A heating box 304 and a detergent box 305 are fixedly installed on the lower surface of the partition 104. The heating box 304, the detergent box 305 and the water pump 301 are interconnected by pipes. The upper surfaces of the heating box 304 and the detergent box 305 are provided with a liquid injection pipe 306. By setting the water pump 301, the hot water in the heating box 304 and the washing liquid in the detergent box 305 can be extracted, and the hot water pipe and the washing liquid are sprayed out by using the connecting pipe 303 to clean the nozzle.

[0026] like Figure 1 As shown, a water outlet 109 is connected to the side wall of the cylinder 102, and a water outlet valve 110 is provided at the water outlet 109. After cleaning, opening the water outlet valve 110 can help quickly empty the sewage and residue in the cylinder 102 to ensure that the interior is clean during the next cleaning.

[0027] Working principle: When using this device to clean the nozzle, first place the nozzle on the fixed block 107, then start the water pump 301, the hot water in the heating box 304 and the cleaning liquid in the detergent box 305 can be extracted, and the hot water pipe and cleaning liquid are sprayed out through the connecting pipe 303 to clean the nozzle. During the cleaning process, starting the motor 203 can rotate the worm 204, and the rotation of the worm 204 drives the worm gear 202 to rotate, and the worm gear 202 drives the rotating column 201 to rotate, thereby rotating the fixed block 107. The fixed block 107 can drive the nozzle to rotate so as to adjust the cleaning angle of the nozzle. By adjusting the angle of the nozzle, the cleaning liquid can be more accurately covered to the key areas of the nozzle, including the fine structures inside and around the nozzle, effectively removing ink residue and dust, improving the cleaning quality, and extending the service life of the nozzle. After cleaning is completed, open the water outlet valve 110 to quickly and conveniently empty the sewage and residue in the annular collection box 105 to ensure that the interior is clean during the next cleaning.

[0028] According to another embodiment of the present invention, Figure 1 、 4 As shown, a second motor 108 is installed inside the base 101, and the output end of the second motor 108 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the cylinder 102. By setting the second motor 108, the second motor 108 is used to drive the cylinder 102 to rotate, so as to throw the sewage inside the nozzle and the installation box 106 into the annular collection box 105, thereby improving the cleaning effect.

[0029] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of the utility model and are not limiting. Other modifications or equivalent substitutions made to the technical solution of the utility model by ordinary technicians in this field should be included in the scope of the claims of the utility model as long as they do not depart from the spirit and scope of the technical solution of the utility model.
