[0029] The two sides of the support frame 3 are provided with lifting grooves 33 corresponding to the two ends of each waste ink tray 4. Each end of each waste ink tray 4 is connected to a lifting plate 41 corresponding to the lifting groove 33. The waste ink tray 4 can slide up and down on the inner wall of the support frame 3. When the vertical adjustment mechanism adjusts the waste ink tray 4 vertically, it will push the lifting plate 41 to move up and down in the lifting groove 33. The lifting plate 41 will drive the waste ink tray 4 to move up and down on the inner side of the support frame 3. The purpose is to facilitate the lifting of the printhead cleaning component to the printhead, so as to facilitate the removal of residual ink on the printhead.

[0030] At both ends of the support frame 3, corresponding to both ends of each waste ink tray 4, a vertical adjustment mechanism is provided for raising and lowering the waste ink tray 4.

Figure 1 The top of the cylinder housing 9 is located below the lifting plate 41, and the extension end of the lifting cylinder is fixed to the lower middle of the lifting plate 41. During use, the vertical adjustment mechanism operates as follows: the lifting cylinder is extended by controlling the external control box, which in turn pushes the lifting plate 41 to rise in the lifting groove 33. The lifting plate 41 then moves the waste ink tray 4 upward inside the support frame 3, so that the printhead cleaning component is raised closer to the printer printhead, making it easier to remove residual ink on the printer printhead. It should be noted that each pair of lifting cylinders corresponds to both ends of the waste ink tray 4. The joint lifting of the two lifting cylinders pushes both ends of the waste ink tray 4 to rise or fall synchronously.

[0031] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: In actual application, the nozzle cleaning component is located below the printer nozzle. After the printer nozzle finishes printing and resets, the device starts to work and moves the support frame 3 to directly below the printer nozzle through the horizontal adjustment mechanism, so that the nozzle cleaning component corresponds to the printer nozzle.

[0032] Furthermore, control the operation of the lifting cylinder in one of the cylinder boxes 9, and use the synchronous extension of the two lifting cylinders to push the lifting plates 41 at both ends of one of the waste ink trays 4 to rise. Then, the two lifting plates 41 will synchronously push the waste ink tray 4 to move upward along the inner side of the support frame 3. After it moves to the designated position, the tubular silicone ink-absorbing sheet 8 is located at the printer nozzle.

[0033] Then, the suction pump is controlled by an external control box. The suction generates negative pressure to remove the residual ink from the printer printhead and suck the residual ink into the waste ink collection box.

[0034] Moreover, the waste ink tray 4 is provided with multiple groups of nozzle cleaning assemblies, which can simultaneously clean the residual ink on multiple printer nozzles, avoiding the cumbersome traditional manual cleaning, and improving the cleaning efficiency.

[0035] The above only describes the preferred embodiments of the present application, and it should be noted that those skilled in the art can make some improvements and refinements without departing from the principles of the present application, and these improvements and refinements should also be considered within the protection scope of the present application.
