[0024] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, this utility model discloses a cleaning device for printing ink cans, including a movable support frame 1, a lifting structure 2, and a cleaning structure 3. The movable support frame 1 is used to support and fix the lifting structure 2 and the cleaning structure 3. The movable support frame 1 includes four vertical rods 13 and several horizontal rods 14, which together form the frame of the movable support frame 1. The four vertical rods 13 are respectively set at the four corners of the rectangle, and the tops of the four vertical rods 13 are connected as one unit by the horizontal rods 14. There are no special requirements for the number of horizontal rods 14 or the connection method between the horizontal rods 14 and the vertical rods 13, as long as the horizontal rods 14 fix the four vertical rods 13 as one unit and are firmly fixed. The middle parts of the four vertical rods 13 are also connected by horizontal rods 14. The horizontal rods 14 can be set horizontally or in a cross pattern. The horizontal rods 14 are only set along the sides of the rectangle, that is, there are no horizontal rods 14 inside the support frame 1. It should be noted that no crossbar 14 is provided between two adjacent vertical bars 13, which facilitates the entry of the ink can into the movable support frame 1. Each vertical bar 13 is fixedly connected to a caster wheel 11 at its bottom, and a support plate 12 is fixedly connected to the crossbar 14 at the top of the vertical bar 13.
[0025] The lifting structure 2 is used to adjust the height of the cleaning structure 3. The lifting structure 2 includes a first adjusting rod 21, a connecting plate 22, a motor 23, and a second adjusting rod 24. The first adjusting rod 21 passes through the support plate 12 and is rotatably connected to it. The portion of the first adjusting rod 21 above the support plate 12 has external threads. One end of the first adjusting rod 21 is threadedly connected to the connecting plate 22. The middle part of the connecting plate 22 is fixedly connected to the motor 23. The other end of the connecting plate 22 is threadedly connected to the second adjusting rod 24. The second adjusting rod 24 has the same structure as the first adjusting rod 21, and the second adjusting rod 24 and the first adjusting rod 21 are mirror images of each other. The second adjusting rod 24 is also rotatably connected to the support plate 12. As one method of rotatably connecting the first adjusting rod 21 and the second adjusting rod 24 to the support plate 12, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the top of the support plate 12 is fixedly connected to the stator of the first bearing seat 5 and the second bearing seat 6. The rotor of the first bearing seat 5 is fixedly connected to the first adjusting rod 21, and the rotor of the second bearing seat 6 is fixedly connected to the second adjusting rod 24. To facilitate the rotation of the first adjusting rod 21 and the second adjusting rod 24, a first handwheel 25 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the first adjusting rod 21, and a second handwheel 26 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the second adjusting rod 24.
[0026] The cleaning structure 3 includes a rotating shaft 31 and a brush body 32. The rotating shaft 31 is coaxially and fixedly connected to the output end of the motor 23, and the rotating shaft 31 is coaxially and fixedly connected to the brush body 32.
[0027] To prevent ink from splashing out of the ink canister during cleaning, an anti-splash structure 4 can be installed. The anti-splash structure 4 includes a baffle 41, a connecting rod 42, and a nut 43. The baffle 41 has a first through hole with a smooth inner wall in its center, and a rotating shaft 31 is inserted into the first through hole, but the rotating shaft 31 does not contact the baffle 41. The baffle 41 also has a second through hole, and the connecting rod 42 is inserted into the second through hole. The top of the connecting rod 42 is fixedly connected to the support rod 12. The connecting rod 42 has external threads and is threadedly connected to the nut 43. The nut 43 abuts against the baffle 41. There can be one nut 43, located below the baffle 41, with its top abutting against the bottom of the baffle 41. Alternatively, there can be two nuts 43, located on the upper and lower sides of the baffle 41, respectively.
[0028] In use, first open the cover of the ink can to be cleaned, then push the movable support frame 1 above the ink can. Two operators simultaneously rotate the first adjusting rod 21 and the second adjusting rod 24 to lower the horizontal height of the connecting plate 22. The two operators need to keep the rotation speed of the first adjusting rod 21 and the second adjusting rod 24 as consistent as possible. When the brush body 32 is in the appropriate position inside the ink can, stop rotating the first adjusting rod 21 and the second adjusting rod 24. Then rotate the nut 43 to adjust the height of the nut 43 on the connecting rod 42 so that the baffle 41 can block the mouth of the ink can. Then start the motor 23. The motor 23 drives the rotating shaft 31 to rotate, which in turn drives the brush body 32 to rotate, thus completing the cleaning of the ink can. After the ink can is cleaned, the two operators simultaneously rotate the first adjusting rod 21 and the second adjusting rod 24 in opposite directions to raise the horizontal height of the connecting plate 22, removing the brush body 32 from the ink can. Then push away the movable support frame 1.
[0029] Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this utility model. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this utility model without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.
