Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of printers, in particular to an ink receiving mechanism of a printer. Background Art

[0002] Inkjet printers convert colored liquid ink into fine particles through a nozzle and spray them onto paper. Some inkjet printers have three or four print heads to print yellow, magenta, cyan, and black, while others use a single print head for four-color printing. Currently, there are two main methods for cleaning inkjet printer heads: 1. Installing a scraper on the side of the print head to remove ink; 2. Installing a side suction device to remove ink from the print head.

[0003] In this regard, the Chinese utility model patent: An anti-flying ink moisturizing device for an inkjet printer (publication number: CN215970699U) discloses that the ink suction head is connected to a negative pressure source through a negative pressure connector, which can absorb waste liquid in a negative pressure non-contact manner; however, it is relatively inconvenient to install the ink suction head, which reduces its practicality.
