[0025] Example:

[0026] As attached Figure 1 To be continued Figure 5 As shown:

[0027] This utility model provides a waste ink adsorption and purification device for a printer, including purification mechanisms installed on both sides of the printhead 1. The purification mechanism includes a main housing 2 fixedly connected to the printhead 1. A mounting bracket 3 is fixedly installed on the inner side of the main housing 2. The mounting bracket 3 is provided with a ventilation groove. Multiple sets of negative pressure fans 4 are fixedly installed at equal intervals on the top side of the ventilation groove by fasteners. An adsorption sponge 6 is connected to the inner side of the ventilation groove.

[0028] The ventilation slot is slidably connected to a drawer 5, and the drawer 5 is provided with a placement slot for placing the absorbent sponge 6, which can stably place the absorbent sponge 6 inside the main housing 2.

[0029] The bottom side of the placement slot 1 has an opening corresponding to the ventilation slot to prevent the drawer 5 from affecting the operation of the negative pressure fan 4.

[0030] The mounting bracket 3 has a fixed base 9 fixedly installed on its top side, and the drawer 5 has a bolt 10 rotatably connected to one side of the drawer via a connecting base 8. The bolt 10 is threadedly connected to the fixed base 9, which allows the drawer 5 to be easily disassembled from the main housing 2.

[0031] The main housing 2 is fixedly installed with a connecting housing 7 on its top side. The inner side of the connecting housing 7 is connected to an adsorption sponge 2 corresponding to the air outlet side of multiple sets of negative pressure fans 4. This can adsorb waste ink that has not been adsorbed by the adsorption sponge 6, preventing the adsorption sponge 6 from leaking out and causing the waste ink to escape.

[0032] The connecting housing 7 is provided with a connecting groove, and a drawer 2 11 is slidably connected to the inner side of the connecting groove. The drawer 2 11 is provided with a placement groove 2 for placing the absorbent sponge 2. The bottom side of the placement groove 2 is provided with an opening 2, which can stably install the absorbent sponge 2 inside the connecting housing 7.

[0033] The second drawer 11 is fixedly connected to the connecting housing 7 by fasteners, which can realize the stable connection of the second drawer 11 to the connecting housing 7.

[0034] The connecting housing 7 has multiple sets of ventilation holes 12 on its top side to prevent the connecting housing 7 from affecting the airflow of the negative pressure fan 4.

[0035] The working principle of this embodiment is as follows: The negative pressure fan 4 in the product is connected to an external power supply and control unit. When the print head 1 starts printing, the negative pressure fan 4 is activated to draw in the air containing waste ink. When the waste ink and air pass through the opening 1 and the adsorption sponge 6, the waste ink is adsorbed by the adsorption sponge 6, and the air is discharged through the ventilation hole 12 through the negative pressure fan 4. At the same time, the waste ink that is not completely adsorbed by the adsorption sponge 6 is adsorbed by the adsorption sponge 2 when passing through the adsorption sponge 2, so as to achieve complete purification of waste ink when the print head 1 is working.

[0036] The embodiments of this utility model are given for illustrative and descriptive purposes only, and are not intended to be exhaustive or to limit the utility model to the forms disclosed. Many modifications and variations will be apparent to those skilled in the art. The embodiments were chosen and described in order to better illustrate the principles and practical applications of this utility model, and to enable those skilled in the art to understand this utility model and design various embodiments with various modifications suitable for a particular purpose.
