Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of printing consumable testing equipment, and in particular to an ink cartridge cleaning fixture. Background Technology

[0002] Ink cartridges are a key component of printers. As an important consumable for printers, their main function is to store printing ink, thereby providing the printer with an ink source to complete printing tasks.

[0003] After ink cartridge injection molding, dust or particulate matter may remain inside, contaminating the ink and affecting print quality. Therefore, cleaning the inside of the cartridge is necessary, along with testing the ink delivery system of the ink inlet to ensure proper ink ejection in the printer. Currently, cartridge cleaning and testing are primarily done manually, which is inefficient, produces poor cleaning results, and compromises print quality. Therefore, developing a cartridge cleaning fixture that improves cleaning efficiency and effectiveness is essential. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the problems existing in the prior art, this utility model proposes an ink cartridge cleaning fixture. It aims to solve the problems of low cleaning efficiency and poor cleaning effect for ink cartridges.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is an ink cartridge cleaning fixture, which includes a control cabinet. A base plate is provided on the upper part of the control cabinet. From bottom to top, a waste ink cartridge, a product positioning seat, and a quick clamp are arranged on the base plate. The quick clamp is mounted on the base plate via a clamp mounting block. The upper cover of the waste ink cartridge is provided with a vacuum port and a through hole. The product positioning seat is provided with a mounting groove, and the lower end of the mounting groove is provided with a through groove that mates with the through hole. The control cabinet is provided with a mode switching knob. When cleaning and guiding ink into the product, the product is mounted on the mounting groove and fixed by the quick clamp. The ink guide port of the product is aligned with the through groove, and vacuum adsorption is performed through the vacuum port to adsorb the substances inside the product into the waste ink cartridge.

[0006] Based on the above, cleaning the inside of the product requires two vacuum adsorption processes. The purpose of the first vacuum adsorption is to extract dust or particulate matter from inside the ink cartridge into the waste ink box. After the first vacuum adsorption, the product needs to be removed and ink injected before being installed in the mounting slot for a second vacuum adsorption. The second vacuum adsorption extracts the ink from inside the ink cartridge into the waste ink box, ultimately completing the cleaning of the ink cartridge and fulfilling the ink guiding function of the product. Furthermore, the negative pressure and time of the two vacuum adsorption processes are different, and the mode is changed using the mode switching knob. The beneficial effects of this invention are: the product positioning seat and quick clamp position the product quickly, and cleaning is performed through vacuum adsorption. The waste liquid generated during cleaning is temporarily stored in the waste box and does not need to be replaced in real time, improving cleaning efficiency; and the multiple vacuum adsorption cleaning processes improve the cleaning effect.

[0007] Furthermore, anti-fool blocks are provided on both sides of the lower surface of the mounting groove, and the anti-fool blocks are offset from the center position of the edge of the mounting groove.

[0008] Based on the above, the error-proof block can quickly and accurately position the product, preventing malfunctions caused by incorrect installation. This effectively improves installation efficiency.

[0009] Furthermore, a vacuum pressure gauge is also provided on the base plate, and the vacuum pressure gauge is connected to the inside of the waste ink cartridge through an air pipe.

[0010] Based on the above, the vacuum pressure gauge can display the real-time negative pressure value inside the waste ink cartridge chamber, thereby allowing for a direct understanding of whether the set negative pressure has been reached, and also determining whether there is any air leakage.

[0011] Furthermore, a sealing gasket is provided on the upper part of the through groove, and the sealing gasket is made of soft silicone.

[0012] Based on the above, when the waste ink cartridge is vacuum-adsorbed, the ink guide port of the product will be tightly fitted with the sealing gasket under pressure, which not only improves the airtightness but also provides buffer protection for the product.

[0013] Furthermore, the base plate is also provided with a number of limiting blocks, which cooperate to form a limiting groove, through which the waste ink cartridge is installed on the base plate.

[0014] Based on the above, the waste ink cartridge is installed through the limiting groove, which reduces the replacement time of the waste ink cartridge.

[0015] Furthermore, the control panel of the control cabinet is equipped with a time relay and a start / stop button, and a cooling fan is provided on the side of the control cabinet.

[0016] Based on the above, the time relay is used to control the vacuum adsorption time, the start / stop button is used to control the start and stop of the vacuum adsorption device, and the cooling fan is used to dissipate heat from the control cabinet.

[0017] Furthermore, the waste ink cartridge is equipped with a transparent monitoring window.

[0018] Based on the above, the transparent monitoring window is used to monitor the amount of waste ink in the waste ink cartridge, facilitating timely replacement.

[0019] To more clearly illustrate the above-mentioned features of this utility model and the objectives it aims to achieve, the present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. Attached Figure Description
