Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of developing roller cleaning technology, specifically to a fully automatic developing roller cleaning device. Background Technology

[0002] The developing roller is one of the core components in the toner cartridge of laser printers and copiers. It is mainly responsible for the adsorption and charging of toner. The surface needs to be cleaned during production.

[0003] For example, the Chinese authorized patent CN222175096U (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 a threaded shaft with one end extending into the interior is provided on each of the left and right side walls of the connecting frame. This automatic cleaning device for the developer roller, through the setting of cleaning components, 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 fluoropolymer-lined tubes, fluoropolymer-lined tees, fluoropolymer-lined telescopic hoses, and annular spray pipes. At this time, a servo motor is activated, driving the threaded rod to rotate via the output shaft, causing the threaded block to move the cleaning ring to clean 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] However, existing developing rollers are manually cleaned, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive. Machine cleaning has a limited cleaning range and requires a long cleaning time, resulting in low cleaning efficiency. Therefore, it does not meet the current needs. To address this, we propose a fully automatic developing roller cleaning device. Utility Model Content

[0009] Preferably, one end of the first cleaning roller and the second cleaning roller are rotatably connected to the first support plate via an external bearing, and the other end of the first cleaning roller and the second cleaning roller are rotatably connected to the second support plate via an external bearing. Both the first cleaning roller and the second cleaning roller are provided with pulleys on the outside of the end connected to the second support plate. A wheel frame is provided on one side of the second support plate, and the pulleys are located inside the space formed between the wheel frame and the second support plate.

[0010] Preferably, a variable frequency motor is provided at the upper end of the fixed top plate, and a timing belt is provided between the output of the variable frequency motor and the pulley, and the output end of the variable frequency motor drives the pulley to rotate through the timing belt.

[0011] Preferably, a water pipe is provided between the center of the first cleaning roller and the second cleaning roller and the fixed top plate, with an inlet at one end of the water pipe and an outlet at the other end.

[0012] Preferably, the water pipe is provided with a fixing clip on the outside, and multiple fixing clips are provided, and the fixing clips are connected to the fixed top plate by external bolts.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0014] (1) This utility model uses the output end of the cylinder to drive the clamping mechanism to move upward, so that the developing roller contacts the first cleaning roller and the second cleaning roller. The output end of the variable frequency motor drives the pulley to rotate through the timing belt, so that the first cleaning roller and the second cleaning roller rotate. The motor installed on the clamping mechanism drives the developing roller to rotate, thereby realizing multi-directional rotation. By rubbing against the first cleaning roller and the second cleaning roller, the surface is cleaned. It is a fast and comprehensive cleaning, which improves the cleaning direction. It can be cleaned in one rotation, thus improving the cleaning efficiency. It solves the problems of the existing developing roller being time-consuming and labor-intensive to clean manually, and the machine cleaning having a limited cleaning range and requiring a long cleaning time, resulting in low cleaning efficiency.

[0015] (2) By setting a fixing clip on the outside of the water pipe, the water pipe is inserted into the slot of the fixing clip. The fixing clip fixes and supports the water pipe to prevent it from falling. When disassembling, it can be pulled out from the slot of the fixing clip, which improves the convenience of installation and disassembly. Attached Figure Description

One end of the water pipe 14 is provided with a water inlet 16 and the other end of the water pipe 14 is provided with a water outlet 15. The developing roller is conveyed by the conveying mechanism 3. When the developing roller is conveyed to the position of the clamping mechanism 5, the developing roller is fixed by the clamping mechanism 5. Then, the output end of the cylinder 10 drives the clamping mechanism 5 to move upward, so that the developing roller contacts the first cleaning roller 12 and the second cleaning roller 13. The water inlet 16 is connected to a water supply device to deliver water into the water pipe 14 and discharge it from the water outlet 15 to perform the watering operation on the first cleaning roller 12 and the second cleaning roller 13.
