[0024] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features and advantages of this utility model more apparent and understandable, the specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0025] Reference Figures 1-4 This is the first embodiment of the present invention, which provides an electrostatic adsorption type ink collection device for a digital printing machine, including a housing 1. A motor 3 is fixedly installed on one side of the housing 1 by a mounting bracket. The output shaft of the motor 3 passes through the side wall of the housing 1 and is fixedly sleeved with a printing roller 31. The printing roller 31 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the housing 1. The housing 1 includes an ink collection mechanism 7 and a cleaning mechanism 8.

[0026] The printing roller 31 has symmetrically arranged arc-shaped plates 71 on both sides. A baffle 72 is fixedly connected to the top of the arc-shaped plate 71. The bottom of the arc-shaped plate 71 is fixedly connected to the partition in the middle of the box body 1. Several guide grooves 73 are opened on the inner side of the arc-shaped plate 71. A groove 74 is opened at the top of the partition in the middle of the box body 1. The groove 74 is inclined. A connecting groove 75 is opened at the inclined end of the groove 74. A screening box 76 is provided at the bottom of the inner wall of the box body 1. The interior of the connecting groove 75 is connected to the interior of the screening box 76. A metal filter screen 77 is fixedly connected to the upper part of the inner wall of the screening box 76. A sliding frame 78 is slidably connected to the lower part of the inner wall of the screening box 76. Filter paper is installed inside the sliding frame 78. An ink outlet pipe 79 is fixedly sleeved on the bottom wall of the screening box 76. The ink outlet pipe 79 extends to the lower part of the bottom of the box body 1.

[0027] Specifically, when the printing roller 31 rotates with the motor 3, the ink on the surface will generate ink splatter due to centrifugal force or printing action. At this time, the arc-shaped plates 71 symmetrically arranged on both sides of the printing roller 31 form a semi-enclosed structure. By using physical shielding, the ink splatter flying towards the side wall of the box is first intercepted. The baffle 72 is used to prevent the ink splatter from splashing upward and further limit the ink splatter collection path.

[0028] Next, the guide channel 73 guides the intercepted ink to the bottom of the arc plate 71, and finally gathers it into the groove 74. The groove 74 is designed with an inclination, and uses gravity to make the ink flow towards the connecting channel 75. After the ink falls into the screening box 76 through the connecting channel 75, it first passes through the metal filter 77 on the upper inner wall. The metal filter 77 is used to filter larger particles of impurities, allowing only liquid ink or fine particles to pass through. The ink drips into the sliding frame 78 below after passing through the metal filter 77. The filter paper installed inside the sliding frame 78 further filters out tiny impurities to ensure the purity of the ink. The sliding frame 78 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the screening box 76, which makes it easy to remove and replace the filter paper regularly to maintain the filtration effect. Finally, the filtered ink flows into the recovery container through the ink outlet pipe 79 to achieve recovery.

[0029] This design uses an arc-shaped plate 71 and a baffle 72 to form a semi-enclosed structure, which forcibly limits the ink flow path, reduces ink diffusion, and lowers the risk of internal contamination. Then, gravity is used to guide the ink flow, eliminating the need for an additional power unit and reducing energy consumption. The double-layer filtration of metal mesh 77 and filter paper effectively intercepts impurities of different sizes, ensuring the purity of the recovered ink and meeting the standards for reuse. The filter paper can be quickly replaced via a sliding frame 78 without disassembling the machine for cleaning, shortening maintenance time and improving equipment operating efficiency.

[0030] Reference Figures 1-4 This is the second embodiment of the present utility model. The difference between this embodiment and the first embodiment is that: a through groove 11 is provided on the top of both sides of the box body 1, a limiting groove 12 is symmetrically provided on the inner wall of the left through groove 11, the inside of the limiting groove 12 on one side is connected to the outside of the box body 1, a spring groove 82 is provided at both the upper and lower ends of the limiting groove 12, and a sliding groove 83 is provided on the inner wall of the spring groove 82.

[0031] Two limiting plates 81 are slidably connected to the inner wall of the limiting groove 12. Sliding rods 84 are symmetrically installed on opposite sides of the two limiting plates 81. The sliding rods 84 are slidably connected to the inner wall of the sliding groove 83. A first spring 85 is sleeved on the outer surface of the sliding rod 84. The two ends of the first spring 85 are respectively connected to the inner wall of the spring groove 82 and one side of the limiting plate 81.

[0032] A connecting plate 86 is provided on the other side of the limiting plate 81, and a brush 87 is fixedly connected to the opposite side of the connecting plate 86;

[0033] A dovetail block 88 is fixedly connected to the other side of the connecting plate 86. The dovetail block 88 is slidably connected to the dovetail groove inside the limiting plate 81. A locking rod 89 is slidably connected to one end of the limiting plate 81. One end of the locking rod 89 is fitted into the groove at one end of the dovetail block 88. A second spring 810 is sleeved on the other end of the locking rod 89. The two ends of the second spring 810 are in contact with the second spring 810 pull plate and one side of the limiting plate 81, respectively.

[0034] Specifically, the first spring 85 uses its spring force to push the limiting plate 81, so that the brush 87 always fits tightly against the surface of the printing material, achieving stable cleaning.

[0035] When it is necessary to replace or clean the brush 87, pull the lever 89 outward to disengage it from the slot of the dovetail block 88. At this time, the second spring 810 is stretched. After the lever 89 is released from its limit, the dovetail block 88 can be pulled out from the dovetail slot of the limit plate 81, and then the connecting plate 86 and the brush 87 can be taken out for maintenance.

[0036] After maintenance, insert the dovetail block 88 back into the dovetail groove of the limiting plate 81, release the locking rod 89, and the second spring 810 will reset and push the locking rod 89 to re-fit into the dovetail block 88, thus completing the quick installation and fixation of the cleaning component.

[0037] This design allows the dovetail block 88 to be released by pulling out the lever 89, enabling the connecting plate 86 and brush 87 to be quickly pulled out for maintenance without the need for tools such as screwdrivers. This greatly shortens the equipment downtime for maintenance, reduces production interruptions caused by maintenance, and improves equipment efficiency.

[0038] Reference Figures 1-4 This is the third embodiment of the present invention. The difference between this embodiment and the second embodiment is that: an electrostatic rubber roller 6 is provided above the printing roller 31, an electrostatic discharge rod 5 is provided above the electrostatic rubber roller 6, and an electrostatic elimination roller 4 is provided on both sides of the upper part of the inner wall of the box 1.

[0039] A conveying roller 2 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the left through groove 11, and a discharge roller 21 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the right through groove 11.

[0040] During use, the electrostatic discharge rod 5 releases static electricity to the electrostatic roller 6, causing the surface of the electrostatic roller 6 to carry a charge 1. When the printing material is conveyed between the printing roller 31 and the electrostatic roller 6 via the feed roller 2, the electrostatic roller 6 uses electrostatic attraction to transfer the ink on the surface of the printing roller 31 onto the printing material. During the ink transfer process, due to electrostatic adsorption, ink scattering is reduced, improving ink transfer efficiency and printing accuracy.

[0041] The feed roller 2 is responsible for conveying the printing material to be printed to the printing area between the printing roller 31 and the electrostatic roller 6; the discharge roller 21 is used to receive the printed printing material and output it to the subsequent process.

[0042] It should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solution of this utility model without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solution of this utility model, and all such modifications or substitutions should be covered within the scope of the claims of this utility model.
