[0002] Inkjet printers are a type of large-format printer. While they don't offer the same high resolution as traditional printers or photo printers, newly released inkjet printers have significantly improved resolution. Inkjet printers use solvent-based or UV-cured inks. Solvent-based inks have a strong odor and are corrosive. During printing, the ink penetrates the printing material through corrosion, making the image less prone to fading. Therefore, they are waterproof, UV-resistant, and scratch-resistant.

[0003] The printhead is the most crucial component of an inkjet printer. Existing inkjet printer printheads, such as... Figure 1 As shown; when the printhead of this inkjet printer starts working, under the control of programming, inks of different colors are discharged through the printhead in a regular manner. As the slide moves, the ink forms a pattern to achieve inkjet printing.

[0004] However, this device uses multiple color ink printheads, such as Figure 3 As shown, the multiple color ink printheads are divided into 3 groups of 4, with two white ink printheads installed on both sides.

[0033] Please refer to Figures 1-6 The utility model provides a spray head structure of spray plotter, include: body 1, inkjet subassembly 2, mounting bracket 21, bottom plate 22 and external connection pipe 5, still include multiple color ink nozzles 3 and multiple white ink nozzles 31,

[0034] Multiple color ink nozzles 3 are installed in the middle position of bottom plate 22, and are divided into four groups, four in each group, and are arranged in linear array,

[0035] Multiple white ink nozzles 31 are installed on the outer side of multiple color ink nozzles 3, and are divided into two groups, two in each group, and are arranged in linear array.

[0036] Inkjet subassembly 2 is composed of mounting bracket 21 and bottom plate 22, bottom plate 22 is installed on the inner bottom surface of mounting bracket 21 and is fixed by screw; when bottom plate 22 is installed, multiple nozzles on bottom plate 22 are connected with corresponding internal pipelines of mounting bracket 21, and corresponding pipelines flow corresponding ink, which is sprayed through multiple nozzles to carry out spray plotter work.

[0037] As Figure 3 As shown in the prior art, multiple color ink nozzles 3 are divided into three groups, four in each group, and two white ink nozzles are arranged on both sides, so that when the device adopts full-color printing mode, the spray plotter picture appears dark in the light-off state, and the picture color becomes lighter in the light-on state, however, the practical improvement method adopts white ink and pre-treatment liquid to solve the problem of dark picture color in the light-off state or light picture color in the light-on state, which requires professional instruments and professional staff, thus increasing labor cost, increasing labor input and slowing down spray plotter efficiency;

[0038] Therefore, this utility model adopts a 1:2 ratio design for multiple color ink printheads 3 and multiple white ink nozzles 31, compared with the previous 1:3 ratio design for multiple color ink printheads 3 and multiple white ink nozzles 31. This effectively solves the problem that the image color is dark when the lights are off or light when the lights are on, making the inkjet printer achieve better results through this printhead structure design.

[0039] The ratio here is a comparison of the number of groups of multiple color ink nozzles 3 and multiple white ink nozzles 31. For example, one group of white ink nozzles 31 corresponds to two groups of color ink nozzles 3, one group of white ink nozzles 31 has two, one group of color ink nozzles 3 has four, and so on.

[0040] Further as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, it is worth noting that each of the multiple color ink nozzles 3 and multiple white ink nozzles 31 has an infusion tube 32 fixedly installed at its top. Each infusion tube 32 has a connector 33 fixedly connected to its top.

[0041] Further as Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, it is worth noting that the vertical cross-section of the connector 33 is I-shaped, and a circular groove is provided at the top. The I-shaped design of the connector 33 allows for quick positioning of the outer tube 5 through the internal groove when it is connected to the outer tube 5. Furthermore, the circular groove, combined with the internal anti-leakage pad of the outer tube 5, prevents leakage of ink from the inkjet printer, thereby improving the stability of the inkjet printer's printhead structure during use.

[0042] Further as Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, it is worth noting that each of the multiple color ink nozzles 3 and multiple white ink nozzles 31 has a locking block 4 fixedly installed on both sides. The base plate 22 has an internal groove for placing the nozzles. The internal groove has a limiting groove that cooperates with the locking block 4. Through the internal groove, after the multiple color ink nozzles 3 and multiple white ink nozzles 31 are installed, the nozzle outlet is kept at the same level as the bottom surface of the base plate 22, which makes the printing effect of the inkjet printer better.

[0043] Further as Figure 5 As shown, it is worth noting that the locking block 4 is fixed to the base plate 22 with bolts 41. Both the base plate 22 and the locking block 4 are provided with threaded grooves that cooperate with the bolts 41. The positioning by the bolts 41 makes the connection between the base plate 22 and the locking block 4 tighter, ensuring the stability of the nozzle after installation.

[0044] Further as Figure 5As shown, it is worth noting that the threaded groove on the card block 4 is in the form of a through hole, and the threaded groove on the bottom plate 22 is in the form of a groove. The card block 4 adopts a through threaded groove, so that the bolt 41 can be effectively connected with the bottom plate 22 after passing through the card block 4, thereby ensuring the normal fixing work of the bolt 41. Moreover, the bottom plate 22 adopts a groove type threaded groove, which avoids the damage to the spray painted object caused by the bolt 41 penetrating the bottom plate 22.
