Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of printer technology, specifically to an ink extraction and moisturizing pad for Brother inkjet printheads. Background Technology

[0002] When an inkjet printer is in use, ink is ejected from the printhead onto the paper for printing. After the printer stops printing, the printhead dries out and becomes clogged. The ink-retaining pad for the inkjet printhead is a key component in the printer maintenance system, also known as a waste ink cartridge. It is used to store excess ink generated during printhead cleaning, maintenance, and printing, and can effectively extend the life of the printhead.

[0003] The insulating cotton inside the waste ink cartridge gradually becomes saturated with waste ink over time and needs to be replaced according to printer prompts or periodically. During installation, the insulating cotton needs to be inserted into the cartridge one by one; however, the cotton is relatively soft and easily deforms when inserted into the cartridge, causing deformation inside the cartridge. Therefore, we have proposed an ink extraction and insulating pad for Brother inkjet printheads to improve upon these issues. Utility Model Content
