[0029] Example 1:

[0030] Reference Figure 1-Figure 3 , a printer nozzle with a heating mechanism includes a printer body 1, an ink reservoir 2 is fixedly connected to the top of the printer body 1, an ink inlet 3 is fixedly connected to the left side of the top of the ink reservoir 2, a heating box 4 is fixedly connected to the left end of the printer body 1, a filter 5 is fixedly connected to the right side of the top of the heating box 4, a fan 6 is fixedly connected to the right side of the inner wall of the heating box 4, three heating wires 74 are provided on the left side of the inner wall of the heating box 4, and the left end is fixedly connected to the air outlet 17, the left end of the air outlet 17 is fixedly connected to a mounting bracket 9, the inner wall of the mounting bracket 9 is connected to a mounting bracket 2 10 through a clamp 13, the left end of the mounting bracket 2 10 is fixedly connected to the nozzle body 15, an ink tube 8 is fixedly connected to the middle of the inner wall of the heating box 4, a handle 16 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the printer body 1, and the three heating wires 7 are all arranged at the left end of the fan 6;

[0031] Specifically, ink is injected into the ink reservoir 2 through the ink inlet 3. The staff member holds the handle 16 and then starts the inkjet printer body 1 to print the code on the bottle packaging. During the printing process, through the cooperation of the fan 6, the heating wire 7 and the filter 5, after the fan 6 is started, air enters the heating box 4 through the filter 5. The filter 5 can also filter out impurities in the air, making the operation of the fan 6 more stable. The wind blown by the fan 6 can be converted into hot air after passing through the heating wire 7, thereby heating the ink tube 8 and the nozzle body 15. After heating, the viscosity of the ink is reduced, which can be sprayed out from the nozzle body 15 more easily. It can also prevent the ink from clogging the nozzle body 15 or flowing smoothly due to low temperature, and prevent the ink from solidifying inside the nozzle. This can reduce the risk of nozzle clogging, thereby improving the stability and reliability of the equipment.

[0032] Example 2:

[0033] Reference Figure 4, wherein the four card slots 11 are located on the inner wall of the mounting frame 1 9, the inner walls of the four card slots 11 are each provided with a card head 13, the inner circumference of the four card heads 13 are each provided with a spring 14, the outer circumference of the four card heads 13 are each provided with a button 12, the four card heads 13 are all slidably connected to the right inner wall of the mounting frame 2 10, the four buttons 12 are respectively slidably connected to the inner walls of the four mounting frames 1 9, the four buttons 12 are respectively provided on the outer circumferences of the four card slots 11, one end of the four springs 14 are respectively connected to the right inner wall of the mounting frame 2 10, and the other end of the four springs 14 are respectively connected to the outer circumferences of the four card heads 13, and the ink tube 8 is connected to the right end of the nozzle body 15;

[0034] Specifically, through the mutual cooperation of the slot 11, button 12, clip 13 and spring 14, press the button 12 to press the clip 13, so that the clip 13 slides toward the inside of the mounting frame 2 10 under the action of the spring 14, which can make the clip 13 disengage from the mounting frame 10, and then you only need to pull out the nozzle body 15 to disassemble it. Regularly disassemble the nozzle for cleaning and maintenance, remove accumulated ink or other dirt, ensure the normal operation and long-term stability of the heating element, and thus maintain the performance of the nozzle and extend its service life. After cleaning, you only need to align the clip 13 on the nozzle body 15 with the slot 11, and push the clip 13 toward the inside of the mounting frame 9. The end of the clip 13 close to the mounting frame 9 is an inclined curved surface, and then under the action of the spring 14, the clip 13 can be easily engaged with the slot 11, and the nozzle body 15 can be installed on the mounting frame 9.

[0035] Working principle: Ink is injected into the ink storage pot 2 through the ink inlet 3. The staff holds the handle 16 and then starts the inkjet printer body 1 to inkjet the wine bottle packaging. During the inkjet printing process, through the cooperation of the fan 6, the heating wire 7 and the filter 5, after the fan 6 is started, the air enters the heating box 4 from the filter 5, and the filter 5 can also filter out impurities in the air, making the fan 6 run more stably. The wind blown by the fan 6 can turn the wind into hot wind after passing through the heating wire 7, thereby heating the ink tube 8 and the nozzle body 15, so that the viscosity of the ink is reduced after heating, and it can be sprayed out from the nozzle body 15 more easily. It can also avoid the ink clogging the nozzle body 15 or poor flow due to low temperature. After the wine bottle packaging is inkjet printed, it can be printed by the card The slot 11, button 12, clamping head 13 and spring 14 cooperate with each other. Press the button 12 to press the clamping head 13, so that the clamping head 13 slides into the inside of the mounting frame 10 under the action of the spring 14, which can make the clamping head 13 disengage from the mounting frame 9. Then, you only need to pull out the nozzle body 15 to disassemble it. Regularly disassemble the nozzle for cleaning and maintenance to remove accumulated ink or other dirt. After cleaning, you only need to align the clamping head 13 on the nozzle body 15 with the slot 11, and push the clamping head 13 into the inside of the mounting frame 9. The end of the clamping head 13 close to the mounting frame 9 is an inclined curved surface. Then, under the action of the spring 14, the clamping head 13 can be easily engaged with the slot 11, and the nozzle body 15 can be installed on the mounting frame 9.
