[0001] This utility model relates to the field of digital printing technology, and more specifically, to an inkjet device for a digital printing machine. Background Technology

[0002] With social progress and technological development, my country's digital inkjet printing technology has basically matured and can meet the needs of industrialized mass printing production in factories. Digital inkjet printing technology is mainly used on fabrics, footwear, clothing, and home textiles. Digital inkjet printing has gradually become the mainstream printing method. An inkjet digital printing machine is a machine that directly prints on fabrics. Inkjet digital printing machines have the characteristics of good printing effect and high printing efficiency. They are computer controlled and can print different patterns on fabrics through programming.

[0003] Existing inkjet digital printing machines include the main body and a printing box. The printing box is equipped with several inkjet heads. The printing box is slidably connected to the main body of the digital printing machine, and the ink in the printing box is sprayed onto the fabric through the inkjet heads, thereby forming a print on the fabric.

[0004] However, during the inkjet printing process, ink tends to adhere to the inkjet head. If it is not cleaned for a long time, it can affect the inkjet printing effect. Currently, the ink on the inkjet head is cleaned periodically with a lint-free cloth, which is quite troublesome for operators. Therefore, an inkjet device for digital printing machines is proposed to improve the existing problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, the purpose of this utility model is to provide an inkjet device for a digital printing machine.

[0007] The present invention is further configured such that: a guide rod is provided inside the digital printing machine body, and the side wall of the printing box can be fitted onto the guide rod.

[0008] The present invention is further configured such that: an ink cartridge is provided inside the printing box, and the output end of the ink cartridge is connected to the input end of the inkjet head.

[0009] The present invention is further configured such that: the displacement component includes a support plate, a displacement motor disposed on one side of the support plate, a gear disposed at the output end of the displacement motor, and a rack meshing with the gear; the top of the support plate is connected to the bottom corresponding to the digital printing machine body, the output end of the displacement motor passes through the support plate and is connected to the gear, and the side wall of the rack is connected to the side wall of the printing machine tool.

[0010] The present invention is further configured such that: slide rails are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the printing machine tool, sliders are slidably connected on the slide rails, a connecting plate is provided on the top of the slider, and one side of the connecting plate is connected to the side wall of the corresponding support plate.

[0011] The present invention is further configured such that: the cleaning component includes a lifting cylinder, a lifting plate disposed at the telescopic end of the lifting cylinder, reciprocating cylinders disposed symmetrically on the top of the lifting plate, a main sponge plate disposed at the telescopic end of the reciprocating cylinder, and secondary sponge plates disposed between the main sponge plates.

[0012] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects: The lifting cylinder is activated, and its telescopic end drives the lifting plate to rise, approaching the inkjet head, so that the inkjet head is positioned between the two main sponge plates and in contact with the secondary sponge plate. Subsequently, both reciprocating cylinders are activated, driving the corresponding main sponge plates to reciprocate and wipe the outer wall of the inkjet head, while the output port of the inkjet head is wiped through the secondary sponge plate.

Detailed Implementation

[0019] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in this application can be combined with each other. The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0020] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, all technical and scientific terms used in this application have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this application pertains.

[0021] Please see Figures 1-5 The present invention provides the following technical solution:

[0022] Example 1, see Figures 1-5 An inkjet device for a digital printing machine includes a printing machine bed 1, a digital printing machine body 2 mounted on top of the printing machine bed 1, a drive unit 3 mounted inside the digital printing machine body 2, a printing box 4 mounted on the drive unit 3, inkjet heads 5 evenly arranged at the bottom of the printing box 4, displacement units 6 symmetrically arranged on both sides of the printing machine bed 1, and a cleaning unit 7 mounted on the top of the printing machine bed 1; the drive unit 3 includes a drive motor 31, a main wheel 32 mounted at the output end of the drive motor 31, a secondary wheel 33 mounted on one side of the main wheel 32, and a drive belt 34 sleeved on the main wheel 32 and the secondary wheel 33; the main wheel 32 and the secondary wheel 33 are rotatably connected to the inner wall of the digital printing machine body 2, and the drive belt 34 can be connected to the side wall of the printing box 4.

[0023] During printing, the drive motor 31 starts and drives the main wheel 32 to rotate. The drive belt 34 drives the main wheel 32 to rotate synchronously, so that the printing box 4 moves in one direction with the transmission of the drive belt 34, and the inkjet head 5 also moves synchronously to reach the initial inkjet point. During continuous printing, the printing box 4 and the inkjet head 5 can be reciprocated by the drive motor 31.

[0024] The displacement component 6 is used to slide the digital printing machine body 2 in another direction, so that the digital printing machine body 2 reaches the appropriate printing position; while the cleaning component 7 is used to repeatedly wipe and clean the inkjet head 5, so as to avoid the problem that ink is easily attached to the inkjet head during the inkjet process. If it is not cleaned for a long time, it will affect the inkjet effect of the inkjet head, thereby improving the inkjet efficiency of the inkjet head.

[0025] See Figures 1-5 Furthermore, the digital printing machine body 2 is also equipped with a guide rod 21, and the side wall of the printing box 4 can be fitted onto the guide rod 21.

[0026] See Figures 1-5 Furthermore, the printing box 4 is also equipped with an ink cartridge 41, the output end of which is connected to the input end of the inkjet head 5.

[0027] During the displacement process, the printing box 4 can slide along the opening direction of the guide rod 21, thereby achieving the purpose of guidance.

[0028] See Figures 1-5 Furthermore, the displacement component 6 includes a support plate 61, a displacement motor 62 disposed on one side of the support plate 61, a gear 63 disposed at the output end of the displacement motor 62, and a rack 64 meshing with the gear 63 for transmission; the top of the support plate 61 is connected to the bottom of the digital printing machine body 2, the output end of the displacement motor 62 passes through the support plate 61 and is connected to the gear 63, and the side wall of the rack 64 is connected to the side wall of the printing machine tool 1.

[0029] See Figures 1-5 Furthermore, the printing machine tool 1 is symmetrically provided with slide rails 11 on both sides, and sliders 12 are slidably connected on the slide rails 11. A connecting plate 13 is provided on the top of the slider 12, and one side of the connecting plate 13 is connected to the side wall of the corresponding support plate 61.

[0030] When the displacement motor 62 is started, it drives the gear 63 to rotate, so that the gear 63 meshes with the rack 64 to perform displacement. At the same time, the slider 12 is driven to slide on the slide rail 11 through the support plate 61 and the connecting plate 13, so that the digital printing machine body 2 can slide in another direction and reach the appropriate printing position.

[0031] See Figures 1-5 Furthermore, the cleaning component 7 includes a lifting cylinder 71, a lifting plate 72 disposed at the extension end of the lifting cylinder 71, a reciprocating cylinder 73 disposed symmetrically on the top of the lifting plate 72, a main sponge plate 74 disposed at the extension end of the reciprocating cylinder 73, and secondary sponge plates 75 disposed between the main sponge plates 74.

[0032] When the lifting cylinder 71 is activated, its telescopic end drives the lifting plate 72 to rise, approaching the inkjet head 5. This positions the inkjet head 5 between the two main sponge plates 74 and in contact with the secondary sponge plate 75. Subsequently, both reciprocating cylinders 73 are activated, driving the corresponding main sponge plates 74 to reciprocate and wipe the outer wall of the inkjet head 5. The output port of the inkjet head 5 is then wiped through the secondary sponge plate 75. This avoids the problem of ink adhering to the inkjet head during the inkjet printing process, which could affect the inkjet printing effect if not cleaned for a long time. This improves the inkjet printing efficiency of the inkjet head.

[0033] It should be noted that the main sponge board 74 and the secondary sponge board 75 can be removed and replaced with new ones after a certain number of uses.

[0034] Obviously, the embodiments described above are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort should fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
