Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of developing roller cleaning technology, specifically a clamping mechanism for cleaning developing rollers. Background Technology

[0002] The developing roller is a device used in digital printing, mainly used to transfer ink from the ink cartridge to the printing material. Cleaning and maintaining the developing roller is very important for ensuring the normal operation of the equipment and improving production efficiency. During the cleaning process, a clamping device is required for clamping and positioning.

[0003] Announcement No.: CN222175096U, entitled "An Automatic Cleaning Device for a Developer Roller," includes a base and a developer roller body. A connecting frame is provided on the top of the base, and the developer roller body is located inside the connecting frame. Limit frames are provided on both the left and right side walls of the developer roller body, and threaded shafts extending into the left and right side walls of the connecting frame are provided on both side walls. This automatic cleaning device for the developer roller, through the inclusion of a cleaning component, activates a micro fluoropolymer-lined pump to spray the developer solution from the developer solution storage tank onto the surface of the developer roller body via a combination of a fluoropolymer-lined tube, a fluoropolymer-lined tee, a fluoropolymer-lined telescopic hose, and a ring spray pipe. Simultaneously, a servo motor is activated, driving a threaded rod to rotate via its output shaft. This causes the threaded block to move a cleaning ring, cleaning the surface of the developer roller body. This eliminates the need for manual cleaning, reducing the labor intensity of workers. The device is highly practical and easy for workers to use.

[0004] The existing developing roller cleaning device requires manual loading and unloading of the developing roller before and after cleaning, which makes the overall operation inconvenient, inefficient, and unsuitable for use in production lines. Therefore, it does not meet the current requirements, and a clamping mechanism for developing roller cleaning is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a clamping mechanism for cleaning developing rollers, so as to solve the problem that existing developing roller cleaning devices mentioned in the background art require manual loading and unloading of developing rollers before and after cleaning, which leads to inconvenience in overall operation, low efficiency, and is not conducive to use in production lines.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a clamping mechanism for cleaning developing rollers, comprising: a cleaning equipment body, a developing roller conveying assembly, a first clamping assembly, a second clamping assembly, and a flipping assembly. The developing roller conveying assembly is installed at the middle position above the cleaning equipment body. The first clamping assembly and the second clamping assembly are respectively installed on both sides of the developing roller conveying assembly. A flipping assembly for driving the developing roller to rotate is installed below the second clamping assembly.

[0007] Preferably, the developing roller conveying assembly includes a first motor, a first pulley is installed at the output end of the first motor, a second pulley is connected to one side of the first pulley via a first connecting belt, the second pulley is connected to a driving roller via a shaft, and a driven roller is connected to the outer wall of the driving roller via a second connecting belt.

[0008] Preferably, a plurality of supports for placing developing rollers are arranged at intervals on the outer wall of the second connecting belt, and the outer wall of the supports is provided with slots for placing the ends of the developing rollers.

[0009] Preferably, the first clamping assembly includes multiple sets of first cylinders arranged laterally at intervals, the telescopic ends of the first cylinders are equipped with a first mounting frame, and a first developing roller clamping rod is installed in the groove of the outer wall of the first mounting frame through a bearing.

[0010] Preferably, a first slide rail is installed above the first assembly frame, and a first slider is installed between the first slide rail and the first assembly frame.

[0011] Preferably, the second clamping assembly includes multiple sets of second cylinders arranged laterally at intervals, the telescopic ends of the second cylinders are equipped with a second mounting frame, and a second developing roller clamping rod is installed in the groove of the outer wall of the second mounting frame through a bearing.

[0012] Preferably, a second slide rail is installed above the second assembly frame, and a second slider is installed between the second slide rail and the second assembly frame.

[0013] Preferably, both the first developing roller clamping rod and the second developing roller clamping rod have slots on their end walls.

[0014] Preferably, the flipping assembly includes a second motor, the output end of which is equipped with a first gear, and the end of the second developing roller clamping rod is equipped with a second gear, wherein the first gear and the second gear mesh and drive each other.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0016] (1) In this utility model, the first motor drives the first pulley to rotate, and the first connecting belt drives the second pulley to rotate, so that the active roller, the second connecting belt and the driven roller can cyclically drive the developing roller to perform displacement and conveying operations. During the conveying process, the end of the developing roller is placed in the slot of the bracket to restrict the developing roller and facilitate subsequent clamping operations. The above structure enables the developing roller to have a conveying function during the cleaning process, effectively improving production efficiency and making it more suitable for production line operations.

[0017] (2) In this utility model, the first cylinder moves in a telescopic motion, and through the connection between the first slider and the first slide rail, the first assembly frame can perform a forward and backward displacement operation, which is used to move the first developing roller clamping rod to the end of the developing roller, so that the end of the developing roller is inserted into the slot. The second cylinder drives the second assembly frame to move, so that the second developing roller clamping rod is combined with the other end of the developing roller. Through the clamping parts on both sides, the two ends of the developing roller can be clamped and restricted without manual operation. It can also be used with the conveying assembly to clamp the developing roller that is fed to this location during the conveying process, making the overall efficiency higher. When the developing roller is removed later, it is only necessary to drive the clamping parts on both sides to retract backward, which is convenient for users.

[0018] (3) In this utility model, when cleaning the developing roller, the end of the second developing roller clamping rod can be moved to the position of the first gear, so that the first gear meshes with the second gear. The first gear is driven to rotate by the second motor, and then the developing roller clamping rod and the developing roller are driven to rotate by the gear meshing transmission, so that the developing roller can be flipped during the cleaning process, which facilitates the cleaning of different surfaces of the developing roller, expands the cleaning range, reduces cleaning dead angles, and also improves the functionality of the clamping mechanism.

[0025] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0026] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 This utility model provides an embodiment of a clamping mechanism for cleaning developing rollers, comprising: a cleaning equipment body 1, a developing roller conveying assembly 2, a first clamping assembly 3, a second clamping assembly 4, and a flipping assembly 5. The developing roller conveying assembly 2 is installed at the middle position above the cleaning equipment body 1. The first clamping assembly 3 and the second clamping assembly 4 are respectively installed on both sides of the developing roller conveying assembly 2. The flipping assembly 5 for driving the developing roller to rotate is installed below the second clamping assembly 4. Specifically, the developing roller conveying assembly 2 includes a first motor. 201. A first pulley 202 is installed at the output end of the first motor 201. A second pulley 204 is connected to one side of the first pulley 202 via a first connecting belt 203. The second pulley 204 is connected to a driving roller 205 via a shaft. A driven roller 206 is connected to the outer wall of the driving roller 205 via a second connecting belt 207. Several supports 208 for placing developing rollers are arranged at intervals on the outer wall of the second connecting belt 207. The outer wall of the supports 208 is provided with slots for placing the ends of the developing rollers.

[0027] The first motor 201 drives the first pulley 202 to rotate, and through the connection of the first connecting belt 203, drives the second pulley 204 to rotate. This allows the driving roller 205, the second connecting belt 207, and the driven roller 206 to cyclically drive the developing roller for displacement and conveying. During the conveying process, the end of the developing roller is placed in the slot of the bracket 208 to restrict the developing roller and facilitate subsequent clamping operations. This structure enables the developing roller to have a conveying function during the cleaning process, effectively improving production efficiency and making it more suitable for production line operations.

[0028] Please see Figure 3 , Figure 4 The first clamping assembly 3 includes multiple sets of first cylinders 301 arranged laterally at intervals. A first mounting frame 302 is installed at the telescopic end of the first cylinder 301. A first developing roller clamping rod 303 is installed in the groove of the outer wall of the first mounting frame 302 through a bearing. A first slide rail 305 is installed above the first mounting frame 302. A first slider 306 is installed between the first slide rail 305 and the first mounting frame 302. The second clamping assembly 4 includes multiple sets of second cylinders 401 arranged laterally at intervals. A second mounting frame 402 is installed at the telescopic end of the second cylinder 401. A second developing roller clamping rod 403 is installed in the groove of the outer wall of the second mounting frame 402 through a bearing. A second slide rail 404 is installed above the second mounting frame 402. A second slider 405 is installed between the second slide rail 404 and the second mounting frame 402. A slot 304 is provided on the end wall of both the first developing roller clamping rod 303 and the second developing roller clamping rod 403.

[0029] The first cylinder 301 moves telescopically, and through the connection between the first slider 306 and the first slide rail 305, the first assembly frame 302 can be moved back and forth, which drives the first developing roller clamping rod 303 to move to the end of the developing roller, so that the end of the developing roller is inserted into the slot 304. The second cylinder 401 drives the second assembly frame 402 to move, so that the second developing roller clamping rod 403 is combined with the other end of the developing roller. Through the clamping parts on both sides, the two ends of the developing roller can be clamped and restricted without manual operation. It can also be used with the conveying component to clamp the developing roller that is fed into this position during the conveying process, so as to improve the overall efficiency. When the developing roller is removed, it is only necessary to drive the clamping parts on both sides to retract backward, which is convenient for users.

[0030] Furthermore, such as Figure 5 As shown, the flipping assembly 5 includes a second motor 501, a first gear 502 is installed at the output end of the second motor 501, and a second gear 503 is installed at the end of the second developing roller clamping rod 403. The first gear 502 and the second gear 503 mesh and drive each other.

[0031] When cleaning the developing roller, the end of the second developing roller clamping rod 403 can be moved to the position of the first gear 502, so that the first gear 502 meshes with the second gear 503. The second motor 501 drives the first gear 502 to rotate, and then drives the developing roller clamping rod and the developing roller to rotate through the gear meshing transmission. This allows the developing roller to be flipped during the cleaning process, which facilitates cleaning different surfaces of the developing roller, expands the cleaning range, reduces cleaning dead angles, and also improves the functionality of the clamping mechanism.

[0032] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered illustrative and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, it is intended that all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims be included within this invention.
