Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of printing technology, and in particular to a printing device with moisturizing function. Background Art

[0002] Print head moisturizing is the process of keeping the print head moist when the printing device is not working. This process is crucial to maintaining the good working condition of the inkjet printing device for the following reasons:

[0003] 1) Prevent ink from drying up. If the printhead is not used for a long time, the ink may gradually dry up inside the nozzle and cause blockage. Moisturizing can prevent this from happening, ensuring that the ink is always flowing, thus ensuring that the printhead can work normally the next time you print.

[0004] 2) Extend the life of the printhead. The printhead is one of the more expensive and fragile components in the printing device. Moisturizing can reduce the number of times the printhead needs to be cleaned, as frequent cleaning may wear out the nozzle and shorten its lifespan. Keeping the printhead moist can effectively extend its lifespan.

[0005] 3) Improve print quality. When the nozzle is kept moist, it can ensure that every print can provide clear and bright print effects. If the nozzle is clogged due to dryness, it may cause the printed document or image to have broken lines and uneven colors.

[0006] 4) Cost savings. Avoid the cost of replacing new printheads due to dryness and clogging. In addition, if the printheads need to be cleaned frequently, additional ink will be consumed, increasing the cost of use. Moisturizing can help users save this part of the cost.

[0007] In the prior art, moisturizing the print head requires a separate drive mechanism, which is not energy-efficient. In particular, patent publication number CN118254477A requires both a first drive element and a second drive element to achieve moisturizing the print head. This solution uses two drive mechanisms, doubling energy consumption and not saving energy. Utility Model Content

[0008] Based on this, the purpose of this application is to provide a printing device with moisturizing function, which has the advantages of not requiring the addition of an independent driving mechanism and achieving energy saving.

[0009] In one aspect of the present application, a printing device with moisturizing function is provided, comprising a printing device body and a moisturizing mechanism; the moisturizing mechanism is installed on one side of the printing device body;

[0010] The moisturizing mechanism includes a moisturizing bracket, a moisturizing tray, an oblique lifting component, and a resisting and dragging component;

[0011] The oblique lifting assembly is mounted on the moisturizing bracket, and the moisturizing tray is mounted on the oblique lifting assembly; the oblique lifting assembly is used to convert the lateral movement of the moisturizing tray into an oblique movement;

[0012] The resisting and dragging component is installed at one end of the moisturizing tray, and the resisting and dragging component is used to abut against the inkjet frame;

[0013] A plurality of moisturizing boxes are placed on the moisturizing tray; and the placement positions of the plurality of moisturizing boxes correspond one-to-one to the positions of the plurality of printing nozzles placed on the inkjet frame.

[0014] The moisturizing printing device described in the present application has a power source derived from the movement of the inkjet frame. The lateral movement of the moisturizing tray is driven by the dragging component through unidirectional dragging. The lateral movement of the moisturizing tray is driven by the oblique action of the oblique lifting component, so that the moisturizing tray moves obliquely, and finally the moisturizing tray moves obliquely relative to the moisturizing bracket. After this process is completed, the moisturizing box on the moisturizing tray is attached to the bottom of the print nozzle, and each print nozzle is attached with a moisturizing box, so that when the print nozzle does not need to work and is on standby, it is in a moisturizing state. When the inkjet frame moves in the opposite direction, the moisturizing tray lacks the resistance and lateral force of the inkjet frame. Under the action of its own weight, it moves obliquely downward relative to the moisturizing bracket, so that the moisturizing tray is placed on the moisturizing bracket, and the moisturizing box is separated from the print nozzle. The moisturizing mechanism of the present application does not need to be equipped with power separately, so it is more energy-efficient.

[0058] In the description of this application, it should be understood that the terms "center," "longitudinal," "lateral," "up," "down," "front," "back," "left," "right," "vertical," "horizontal," "top," "bottom," "inside," "outside," etc., indicating orientations or positional relationships, are based on the orientations or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings and are intended only to facilitate the description of this application and simplify the description. They do not indicate or imply that the devices or elements referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operate in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be understood as limiting this application. In the description of this application, unless otherwise specified, "plurality" means two or more.

[0059] See also Figures 1-10 , an exemplary printing device with moisturizing function of the present application comprises a printing device body and a moisturizing mechanism; the moisturizing mechanism is installed on one side of the printing device body;

[0060] The moisturizing mechanism includes a moisturizing bracket 20, a moisturizing tray 50, an oblique lifting component 30, and a resisting and dragging component 40;

[0061] The oblique lifting assembly 30 is mounted on the moisturizing bracket 20, and the moisturizing tray 50 is mounted on the oblique lifting assembly 30; the oblique lifting assembly 30 is used to convert the lateral movement of the moisturizing tray 50 into an oblique movement;

[0064] The printing device with moisturizing described in the present application has a power source from the movement of the inkjet frame 10, which resists the dragging component 40 by dragging in one direction, thereby driving the lateral movement of the moisturizing tray 50. The lateral movement of the moisturizing tray 50 is caused by the oblique action of the oblique lifting component 30, so that the moisturizing tray 50 moves obliquely, and finally the moisturizing tray 50 moves obliquely relative to the moisturizing bracket 20.
