[0019] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0020] See also Figure 1-Figure 3, a simple replacement device for digital printing ink barrels when they are out of ink, including an ink tank cabinet 6, a plurality of ink tank boxes 2 are installed in the ink tank cabinet 6, the ink tank boxes 2 are evenly distributed side by side, an ink barrel body 1 is installed in the ink tank box 2, and also includes a hinge 7 installed at one end of the bottom of the ink tank box 2, the bottom of the hinge 7 and the bottom of the ink tank cabinet 6 are fixed together, a hinge mechanism is provided at the end of the ink tank box 2 away from the hinge 7, a proximity switch 5 is provided on one side of the hinge mechanism, an adjustment block 3 is provided above the hinge mechanism, a spring 10 is installed between the adjustment block 3 and the hinge mechanism, and the proximity switch 5 and the adjustment block 3 are both installed on the inner wall of the ink tank cabinet 6.
[0021] Furthermore: the hinge mechanism includes a hinge plate 4, and hinge shafts 12 are respectively installed at the upper and lower ends of the hinge plate 4. A slide 13 is provided on the hinge shaft 12 at the top of the hinge plate 4, and the slide 13 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the ink tank cabinet 6, and a baffle 11 is installed on the side of the slide 13; the hinge plate 4 pushes the slide 13 up and down through the hinge shaft 12, and presses the proximity switch 5 through the baffle 11; an ink barrel cover 8 is installed on the top of the ink barrel body 1, and a blocking plate 9 is provided inside the ink barrel cover 8; the ink barrel cover 8 is screwed onto the ink barrel body 1 and connected to the printer through the blocking plate 9; the adjustment block 3 slides up and down along the inner wall of the ink tank cabinet 6 and is bolted; it is convenient to pull the adjustment block 3 to adjust the elastic force of the spring 10 and fix it; the hinge plate 4 and the slide 13 are both made of galvanized sheet material, which is corrosion-resistant and durable; there are four ink tank boxes 2, and four ink barrel bodies 1 are installed accordingly.
[0022] Working principle: Screw the blocking plate 9 and the ink barrel cover 8 onto the ink barrel body 1 filled with ink, and place the ink barrel body 1 filled with ink into the ink tank box 2. Under the action of gravity, the ink barrel body 1 presses down the ink tank box 2, so that the ink tank box 2 rotates under the support of the hinge 7, and pulls the hinge plate 4 to move through the hinge shaft 12. The hinge plate 4 pulls the slide 13 down along the inner wall of the ink tank cabinet 6 through the hinge shaft 12, and pulls the spring 10 to expand and accumulate elastic force.
