Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of inkjet printer technology, and in particular to an inkjet printer for touch screen production with a cleaning mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] Inkjet printers are devices that use charged ink particles, deflected by a high-voltage electric field, to print patterns, text, and numbers on the surface of various objects. In the production process of touch screens, inkjet printers are needed to print codes on designated areas of the screen. By printing codes, the touch screen displays the specified information. Generally, when printing codes on a touch screen, the main unit and printhead are mounted on the side of the production line (i.e., the conveyor belt) using metal brackets. When the touch screen moves under the printhead, the printhead "prints" the numbered information by spraying ink.

[0003] In actual use, existing inkjet printers for touch screen production have problems. Because the printhead needs to continuously spray ink during operation, and the nozzles of the printhead are very small, the ink remaining on the printhead dries after the printhead stops working. This can easily cause blockage of the printhead, thus affecting the service life of the inkjet printer. Utility Model Content

[0004] This utility model discloses a touch screen production inkjet printer with a cleaning mechanism, aiming to solve the problem that in the actual use of existing touch screen production inkjet printers, the ink on the printhead needs to continuously spray ink during operation, and the nozzles of the printhead are very small. After the printhead stops working, the ink remaining on the printhead dries and cloggings the printhead, thus affecting the service life of the inkjet printer.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] A touch screen production inkjet printer with a cleaning mechanism includes a workbench, an inkjet module on the top of the workbench, and a protective box on the outer side of the protective box. The protective box is located on the top of the workbench and has two sliding doors on one side. A display screen is mounted on the protective box, and a cleaning module is located on one side of the outer side of the protective box.

[0007] The system is equipped with a sliding door, workbench, display screen, cleaning module, and coding module. The coding module can print codes on touch screens that need to be printed. The display screen can clearly show the status of the coding module. The sliding door facilitates the replacement of the liquid tank of the coding module. Long-term coding can cause ink stains to clog the coding module. The cleaning module can clean the coding module.

[0008] In a preferred embodiment, the cleaning module includes a cleaning tank, which is fixedly connected to one outer wall of a protective box. The cleaning tank has a placement hole at its top. A water storage tank is fixedly connected to one outer wall of the cleaning tank, and a water pump is fixedly connected to the top of the water storage tank.

Multiple cleaning nozzles are provided on one outer wall of the connecting chamber. A fixing gear ring is fixedly connected inside the cleaning tank. A sliding groove is provided at the bottom of the fixing gear ring. Two L-shaped sliders are movably connected inside the sliding groove, and the tops of the two L-shaped sliders are fixedly connected to the same mounting bracket. The top of the mounting bracket has two mounting slots and a circular slot. A gear ring is fixedly connected inside the circular slot, and two limiting rods are fixedly connected to the inner walls of both sides of the two mounting slots. The two rods located inside the same mounting slot... The outer walls of the limiting rods are movably connected to the same movable slider, and the tops of the two movable sliders are provided with mounting holes. The inner walls of the two mounting holes are fixedly connected to servo motors, and the output shafts of the two servo motors are connected to connecting plates via couplings. The inner wall of the cleaning tank is fixedly connected to a rectangular plate, the top of which is fixedly connected to a drive motor. The output shaft of the drive motor is connected to a drive gear via a coupling, and the drive gear meshes with a gear ring. The tops of the two connecting plates and the drive gear are fixedly connected to connecting rods, and the outer walls of the three connecting rods are provided with cleaning brushes. Two shaft members are movably connected to the mounting frame, the outer walls of which are fixedly connected to driven gears. The two driven gears mesh with fixed gear rings, and the tops of the two shaft members are fixedly connected to mounting plates. The tops of the mounting plates on the same side and the tops of the movable sliders are movably connected to the same linkage rod.

[0009] The cleaning module is designed for cleaning the outer wall of the nozzle body. During operation, the cleaning module allows for adjustment of the positions of two cleaning brushes, enabling comprehensive cleaning of nozzles of different sizes. The equipment requires no manual operation, reducing the workload of construction personnel and thus increasing the effectiveness and ease of use of the device.

[0010] In a preferred embodiment, a grooved plate is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the protective box, and a circular hole is opened at the top of the grooved plate. A liquid pump is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the circular hole.

[0019] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0020] The inkjet printer for touch screen production disclosed in this utility model is mainly applied to existing inkjet printer devices for touch screen production. In actual use, because the printhead of the inkjet printer needs to continuously spray ink when working, and the nozzles of the printhead are very small, the ink remaining on the printhead will dry on the printhead after the printhead stops working. This can easily cause blockage of the printhead, thereby affecting the service life of the inkjet printer.

[0021] Reference Figures 1-5 A touch screen production inkjet printer with a cleaning mechanism includes a workbench 5, an inkjet module 3 on the top of the workbench 5, and the inkjet module 3 includes a protective box 301. The protective box 301 is located on the top of the workbench 5, and two sliding doors 1 are provided on one outer wall of the protective box 301. A display screen 2 is installed on the protective box 301, and a cleaning module 4 is provided on one outer wall of the protective box 301.

[0022] Specifically, when the equipment is in use, the inkjet module 3 can print on the touch screen that needs to be printed. The status of the inkjet module 3 can be clearly displayed by the display screen 2. The sliding door 1 facilitates the replacement of the liquid tank 306 of the inkjet module 3. Long-term printing will cause ink stains to clog the inkjet module 3. The cleaning module 4 can clean the inkjet module 3.

[0023] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5In a preferred embodiment, the cleaning module 4 includes a cleaning tank 401, which is fixedly connected to one side outer wall of the protective box 301. The top of the cleaning tank 401 has a placement hole 402. A water storage tank 403 is fixedly connected to one side outer wall of the cleaning tank 401. A water pump 404 is fixedly connected to the top of the water storage tank 403. A rubber hose 405 is provided at the output end of the water pump 404. One end of the rubber hose 405 is fixedly connected to a connecting chamber 407, which is located inside the cleaning tank 401. One side outer wall of the connecting chamber 407 has a... The cleaning tank 401 is equipped with multiple cleaning nozzles 408. A fixed gear ring 406 is fixedly connected inside the cleaning tank 401. A sliding groove is provided at the bottom of the fixed gear ring 406, and two L-shaped sliders 425 are slidably connected inside the sliding groove. The tops of the two L-shaped sliders 425 are fixedly connected to the same mounting bracket 419. The top of the mounting bracket 419 has two mounting slots 422 and a circular slot. A gear ring 415 is fixedly connected inside the circular slot. Two limiting rods 423 are fixedly connected to the inner walls of both sides of the two mounting slots 422. Two limiting rods 423 are located inside the same mounting slot 422. The outer wall of the limit rod 423 is slidably connected to the same movable slider 420, and the top of both movable sliders 420 is provided with mounting holes. The inner wall of both mounting holes is fixedly connected to a servo motor 416, and the output shafts of both servo motors 416 are connected to a connecting plate 413 through a coupling. The inner wall of the cleaning tank 401 is fixedly connected to a rectangular plate 410, and the top of the rectangular plate 410 is fixedly connected to a drive motor 411. The output shaft of the drive motor 411 is connected to a drive gear 421 through a coupling, and the drive gear 421 meshes with a gear ring 415. Each connecting plate 413 and the top of the drive gear 421 are fixedly connected to a connecting rod 412, and the outer walls of the three connecting rods 412 are provided with cleaning brushes 414; the mounting bracket 419 is connected to two shaft members 424 by bearings, and the outer walls of the two shaft members 424 are fixedly connected to driven gears 418. The two driven gears 418 mesh with the fixed gear ring 406. The tops of the two shaft members 424 are fixedly connected to mounting plates 409, and the tops of the mounting plates 409 on the same side and the tops of the movable slider 420 are slidably connected to the same linkage rod 417.

[0024] Specifically, the spray bar 303 and the nozzle body 304 are fitted onto the outer wall of the cleaning brush 414 through the placement hole 402. The water pump 404 is turned on, allowing water from the water tank 403 to be transported through the rubber hose 405 into the connecting chamber 407, and then sprayed out through the cleaning nozzle 408 to begin rinsing the nozzle body 304. The drive motor 411 is started, driving the drive gear 421 to rotate. Since the drive gear 421 meshes with the gear ring 415, which is fixedly connected to the mounting bracket 419, the drive... Gear 421 can drive the mounting bracket 419 to rotate. Since the driven gear 418 meshes with the fixed gear ring 406, the driven gear 418 can drive the shaft 424 and the mounting plate 409 to rotate, thereby driving the linkage rod 417 and the movable slider 420 to move. When the movable slider 420 moves to the appropriate position, the drive motor 411 is turned off, and two servo motors 416 are started at the same time. The servo motors 416 can drive the connecting rod 412 to rotate, thereby driving the cleaning brush 414 to rotate, which can clean the nozzle body 304.

[0025] In specific application scenarios, the cleaning module 4 is suitable for cleaning the outer wall of the nozzle body 304. When the cleaning module 4 is running, the specific positions of the two cleaning brushes 414 can be adjusted to adapt to the all-round cleaning of the surface of the nozzle body 304 of different sizes. The equipment does not require manual operation during use, reducing the workload of construction personnel, thereby increasing the effectiveness and ease of operation of the device.

[0026] Reference Figures 1-2 In a preferred embodiment, a grooved plate 307 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the protective box 301, and a circular hole is opened at the top of the grooved plate 307. A liquid pump 308 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the circular hole. A delivery pipe 302 is provided at the output end of the liquid pump 308, and a spray bar 303 is fixedly connected to one end of the delivery pipe 302. A nozzle body 304 is threadedly connected to one end of the spray bar 303. A connector 305 is provided on the outer wall of the delivery pipe 302, and a liquid storage tank 306 is threadedly connected to the inner wall of the connector 305. The liquid storage tank 306 is fixedly connected to the bottom inner wall of the protective box 301.

[0027] Specifically, by turning on the liquid pump 308, the ink inside the liquid storage tank 306 can be transported to the inside of the spray bar 303 through the delivery pipe 302, and then sprayed out through the nozzle body 304. When it is necessary to clean the nozzle body 304, the liquid storage tank 306 can be opened by rotating the connector 305 to replace the liquid inside the liquid storage tank 306. Then, the liquid pump 308 can be used to draw water from the liquid storage tank 306 into the inside of the nozzle body 304.

[0028] In specific application scenarios, the coding module 3 is suitable for coding equipment and cleaning the inside of the printhead body 304. That is, when the coding module 3 is in use, it can wet the inside of the printhead body 304, which facilitates better cleaning of the printhead body 304 in the future, thereby improving the cleaning quality and service life of the printhead body 304.

[0029] Working Principle: Specifically, during use, the inkjet module 3 can print codes onto the touchscreen. The display screen 2 clearly shows the status of the inkjet module 3. The sliding door 1 facilitates easy replacement of the ink tank 306. Prolonged printing can cause ink clogging in the inkjet module 3; the cleaning module 4 cleans the module. The pump 308 delivers ink from the storage tank 306 to the spray bar 303 via the delivery pipe 302, and then sprays it out through the printhead body 304. When the printhead body 304 needs cleaning, the storage tank 306 can be opened by rotating the connector 305 to replace the liquid inside. The pump 308 then draws water from the storage tank 306 into the printhead body 304. Finally, the spray bar 303 and printhead body 304 are fitted onto the outer wall of the cleaning brush 414 through the placement hole 402. Turning on the water pump 404 allows water from the storage tank 403 to be transported through the rubber hose 405 into the connecting chamber 407, where it is then sprayed out through the cleaning nozzle 408 to begin rinsing the nozzle body 304. Starting the drive motor 411 causes the drive gear 421 to rotate. Since the drive gear 421 meshes with the gear ring 415, which is fixedly connected to the mounting bracket 419, the drive gear 421 can drive the mounting bracket 419 to rotate. Since the driven gear 418 meshes with the fixed gear ring 406, the driven gear 418 can drive the shaft 424 and the mounting plate 409 to rotate, thereby moving the linkage rod 417 and the movable slider 420. When the movable slider 420 moves to the appropriate position, the drive motor 411 is turned off, and simultaneously, two servo motors 416 are started. The servo motors 416 can drive the connecting rod 412 to rotate, which in turn drives the cleaning brush 414 to rotate, thus cleaning the nozzle body 304.

[0030] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model, but the scope of protection of this utility model is not limited thereto. Substitutions may include replacements for some structures, devices, or method steps, or they may be complete technical solutions. Equivalent substitutions or modifications made based on the technical solution and inventive concept of this utility model should all be covered within the scope of protection of this utility model.
