Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of inkjet printer manufacturing technology, and in particular to a printhead structure with a nozzle anti-collision protective cover mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] In the existing technology, when the inkjet printing equipment is working, its printhead is very close to a single sheet of paper, and the distance between the nozzle surface of the printhead and the paper surface is about 1.0-1.5mm.

[0003] Therefore, when the sheets of paper and corrugated paper to be printed have problems such as curling edges, wrinkles, and arching due to various reasons, during the printing process, the curling edges, wrinkles, and arching of the sheets of paper will scratch the nozzle surface of the print head, causing the nozzle to work abnormally and the printed products to be abnormal.

[0004] In addition to producing defective products that fail to meet customer requirements, malfunctioning nozzles also require operators to stop the machine and maintain the nozzles, thus reducing production efficiency.

[0005] Moreover, since each sheet of paper is transported at high speed during the printing process, the curled edges and wrinkles of the paper being transported at high speed can hit the nozzle surface of the printhead. In severe cases, this can dent the nozzle surface or even damage the inside of the nozzle, causing the entire printhead to be scrapped and resulting in unnecessary losses.

[0006] Therefore, how to protect the nozzle surface from scratches or impacts by single sheets of paper, reduce the occurrence of defective products, improve production efficiency, and more effectively protect the printhead from damage has become a technical problem that urgently needs to be solved by those skilled in the art.

[0024] Figure 1 A schematic diagram of an embodiment of the present invention is shown.

[0025] Figure 2 This diagram illustrates the position of the nozzle protective cover when it is closed in one embodiment of the present invention.

[0026] Figure 3 This diagram shows the state of the nozzle protective cover from above when it is closed, according to an embodiment of the present invention. Detailed Implementation

[0027] Example

[0028] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the nozzle structure with nozzle anti-collision protection cover mechanism includes a nozzle 6 and a nozzle base plate 1 for fixing the nozzle 6;

[0029] The nozzle base plate 1 is a plate with a hole in the center that matches the nozzle 6. The hole in the center can accommodate the nozzle 6 to pass through from one side of the nozzle base plate 1, and ensure that the nozzle surface 61 of the nozzle 6 can protrude from the other side of the nozzle base plate 1.

[0030] The nozzle base plate 1 has a nozzle protective cover 4 on one side with a protruding nozzle surface 61;

[0031] The nozzle protective cover 4 is a box-shaped structure with an opening on the side facing the nozzle surface 61, and the box wall is provided with a matching spray nozzle 41 for each nozzle 62 corresponding to the spraying direction of the nozzle surface 61.

[0032] In some embodiments, the nozzle protective cover 4 is plate-shaped, and a groove 42 is provided on the part of the nozzle 6 that protrudes from the other side of the nozzle base plate 1;

[0033] The bottom of the groove 42 is provided with a matching spray nozzle 41 corresponding to the spraying direction of each nozzle 62.

[0034] In some embodiments, the nozzle protective cover 4 and the nozzle base plate 1 are provided with a detachable connection formed by multiple magnetic attraction 5.

[0035] In some embodiments, the nozzle protective cover 4 is hinged to the nozzle base plate 1 via a hinge 7 on one side of the corresponding nozzle surface 61, and is detachably connected to the nozzle base plate 1 via a magnetic attraction 5 on the remaining three sides of the corresponding nozzle surface 61.

[0036] In some embodiments, the nozzle base plate 1 has a notch 11 at an edge away from the hinge 7 that exposes the nozzle protective cover 4.

[0037] In some embodiments, the nozzle base plate 1, facing away from the nozzle surface 61, has an "L"-shaped fixing bracket 2 on both sides of the nozzle surface 61 along its length or width, on the outside of the hole, for fixing.

[0038] In some embodiments, each mounting bracket 2 is fixed to the nozzle base plate 1 by bolts installed in the mounting holes 3.

[0039] In some embodiments, the nozzle face 61 is spaced 0.1 mm apart from the sidewall of the nozzle guard 4 where the spray port 41 is located.

[0040] In some embodiments, the nozzle protective cover 4 is made of an iron-based alloy.

[0041] In this invention, the nozzle 6 is fixed on the nozzle base plate 1. The nozzle surface 61 at the bottom of the nozzle 6 is exposed at the bottom of the nozzle base plate 1. The nozzle surface 61 is slightly higher than the bottom surface of the nozzle base plate 1, by about 0.1mm, to prevent the nozzle protective cover 4 from rubbing against the nozzle surface 61.

[0042] The nozzle protective cover 4 protects the nozzle surface 61, that is, the bottom of the groove 42. The thickness is about 0.4-0.5mm, and it needs to have a certain rigidity. Therefore, the nozzle protective cover 4 is made of iron-based alloy.

[0043] The nozzle protective cover 4 is connected to both ends of the nozzle base plate 1 by hinges 7, so that the nozzle protective cover 4 can rotate around the hinges 7.

[0044] Six circular magnets 5 are fixed in pairs to the bottom of the printhead base plate 1 at three positions on the front and sides, ensuring that the surface of the magnets 5 is flush with the bottom surface of the printhead base plate 1. When the printhead protective cover 4 rotates with the hinge 7 as the center until its surface is in contact with the lower surface of the printhead base plate 1, the printhead protective cover 4, being made of iron-based alloy, will be firmly attracted by the magnets 5. In this way, the printhead protective cover 4 protects the nozzle surface 61 of the printhead 6, leaving only the nozzle 62 at the bottom of the printhead 6 exposed. During the printing process, when the product to be printed passes under the printhead protective cover 4, the product will not rub against or collide with the nozzle surface 61 of the printhead 6, thus achieving the function of protecting the printhead 6.

[0045] The preferred embodiments of this utility model have been described in detail above. It should be understood that those skilled in the art can make numerous modifications and variations based on the concept of this utility model without creative effort. Therefore, all technical solutions that can be obtained by those skilled in the art based on the concept of this utility model through logical analysis, reasoning, or limited experimentation on the basis of existing technology should be within the scope of protection defined by the claims.
