Motor-driven printheads, particularly multi-motor printhead assemblies, while capable of controlling more complex motions such as ink filling, lifting, and sealing, face a series of technical and economic challenges. Specifically, while multi-motor printhead assemblies achieve diverse functions through the division of labor between different motors, the cost of configuring multiple printheads rises dramatically, increasing not only hardware investment but also significant control complexity. The introduction of multiple motors leads to numerous external wiring connections, which not only complicates on-site installation and maintenance but also makes the overall equipment bulky and unwieldy, hindering efficient space utilization and lightweight design.

[0032] See also Figures 1 to 2 The present invention provides an electric drive nozzle with integrated communication control module, comprising:

[0033] The mounting base 10 is provided with a first drive control component 11 and a second drive control component 12 arranged in parallel. The actuating end of the first drive control component 11 and the actuating end of the second drive control component 12 are located on the same side. Such a layout makes the entire nozzle structure compact and the action coordinated and rapid.

[0034] The nozzle module 20 is installed at the action end of the first drive control component 11. The first drive control component 11 is used to drive the nozzle module 20 to move up and down linearly to achieve precise inkjet operation. A color mark sensor 21 is provided on the nozzle module 20 to detect the inkjet status and ensure the inkjet quality.

[0035] The ink receiving sealing plate (not shown in the figure) is installed at the action end of the second drive control component 12. The second drive control component 12 is used to drive the ink receiving sealing plate (not shown in the figure) to perform horizontal reciprocating rotational motion to complete the dual functions of ink receiving and sealing. A first avoidance gap 13 is opened on the side of the mounting base 10 close to the second drive control component 12 to reduce the difficulty of replacement and maintenance.

[0036] The communication control module 40 is installed on the mounting base 10 and serves as the control center of the entire nozzle to realize intelligent control. The first drive control component 11 and the second drive control component 12 are both electrically connected to the communication control module 40 to realize efficient transmission and processing of signals and simplify the control process.

[0037] The signal connector 50, as an interface for connecting to external devices, is installed on the installation base plate 10. The signal connector 50 includes four connection terminals 51. The four connection terminals 51 are all connected to the communication control module 40. This design makes the external wiring of the electric drive nozzle simple and clear, and is convenient for on-site installers to debug and install. The four connection terminals 51 are respectively used to connect the power supply, input signal, output signal and connect the color mark sensor 21, so as to realize the supply of stable working voltage for the electric drive nozzle, accurately receive external control instructions, and feedback the working status of the electric drive nozzle, so as to monitor the inkjet situation in real time.

[0038] In this embodiment, the first drive control component 11 is a screw stepper drive control integrated machine, which is responsible for providing precise position hovering control to ensure smooth and precise movement. The first drive control component 11 is installed on the mounting base 10 through the first mounting plate 111 to ensure the stability of the structural connection. The action end of the first drive control component 11 is installed with a screw transmission member 112 to effectively convert rotational motion into linear motion. A screw slider 113 is screwed onto the screw transmission member 112 to achieve precise displacement adjustment. A linear guide rail 14 is provided on the side of the mounting base 10 close to the action end of the first drive control component 11, which provides a smooth and low-friction motion path for the screw slider 113. The screw slider 113 is slidably installed. On the linear guide rail 14, the nozzle module 20 is fixedly mounted on the lead screw slider 113, ensuring the straightness and accuracy of the movement of the nozzle module 20, thereby realizing precise positioning and inkjet operation. The second drive control component 12 is a deceleration stepper drive control integrated machine to provide a stable driving torque. The second drive control component 12 is mounted on the mounting base plate 10 through the second mounting plate 121, which enhances the overall rigidity of the structure. The actuating end of the second drive control component 12 is connected to the ink receiving sealing plate (not shown in the figure) through the coupling 122, ensuring efficient and stable power transmission. The signal connector 50 is arranged at the end of the mounting base plate 10 away from the ink receiving sealing plate (not shown in the figure) to facilitate connection with external control equipment.

[0039] The electrically driven nozzle with integrated communication control module also includes a shell 60, which is arranged between the mounting base 10 and the nozzle module 20, and is installed on the mounting base 10 to provide good protection. An avoidance groove 61 corresponding to the screw slider 113 is provided on the shell 60. One end of the screw slider 113 passes through the avoidance groove 61 and is fixedly connected to the nozzle module 20 through the connecting slide 70, thereby ensuring the free movement of the screw slider 113 and realizing the reliable installation and adjustment of the nozzle module 20.

[0040] Furthermore, a lower end plate 80 is installed on the side of the mounting base 10 close to the ink receiving sealing plate (not shown in the figure). The purpose of this design is to provide additional support and fixation to enhance the stability of the overall structure. A second avoidance notch 81 corresponding to the action end of the second drive control component 12 is provided on the lower end plate 80 to ensure that the second drive control component 12 can smoothly drive the ink receiving sealing plate (not shown in the figure) to rotate and avoid being obstructed by the lower end plate 80. One end of the coupling 122 is connected to the action end of the second drive control component 12, and the other end passes through the second avoidance notch 81 and is connected to the ink receiving sealing plate (not shown in the figure) to achieve effective power transmission while ensuring the reliability and stability of the connection. One end of the screw transmission member 112 is fixedly connected to the action end of the first drive control component 11, and the other end is rotatably mounted on the lower end plate 80 to ensure that the screw transmission member 112 can smoothly perform linear motion, thereby driving the nozzle module 20 to move up and down, while limiting the sliding stroke of the screw slider 113 to avoid the screw slider 113 from falling off.

[0041] Furthermore, the ink receiving sealing plate (not shown in the figure) has a sealed state and an open state. These two states ensure that the nozzle module 20 can be effectively controlled in both the inkjet and non-inkjet states, extending the service life of the nozzle module 20 and ensuring the inkjet quality.

[0042] When in a sealed state, the ink receiving sealing plate (not shown in the figure) is located directly below the nozzle module 20, tightly fitting the output end of the nozzle module 20, and is used to seal the output end of the nozzle module 20 to prevent the output end of the nozzle module 20 from being blocked by dust interference.

[0043] When in the open state, the ink receiving sealing plate (not shown in the figure) is located directly below the second drive control component 12, that is, the ink receiving sealing plate (not shown in the figure) rotates to a position where it does not contact the output end of the nozzle module 20, and is used to release the seal on the output end of the nozzle module 20 to ensure the smoothness and efficiency of the inkjet operation.

[0044] The communication control module 40 is arranged on the side of the first drive control component 11 and is located at the end of the second drive control component 12 away from the ink sealing plate (not shown in the figure). Such a layout design not only optimizes the overall structural layout and makes the electric drive nozzle structure compact, but also avoids direct contact with moving parts, reduces the risk of interference and damage, and improves the stability and reliability of the operation of the electric drive nozzle.

[0045] Furthermore, when the number of nozzles needs to be expanded, it is only necessary to connect the input end of a nozzle module 20 in series with the output end of another nozzle module 20. This design not only facilitates the installation personnel to expand the number of nozzles, but also significantly increases the upper limit of the expansion of the number of nozzles.

[0046] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent replacements and improvements made within the principles of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
