[0025] This invention proposes a clamping platform for inkjet printers.

[0026] Please see Figures 1 to 3 In one embodiment of this utility model, the clamping platform for an inkjet printer includes a worktable 1, a pad 2, and a clamping assembly 3. The worktable 1 has an oil reservoir 11, and the bottom wall of the oil reservoir 11 is provided with a first placement area for placing the anti-stick component 10. The pad 2 is detachably mounted on the worktable 1 and is located at the opening of the oil reservoir 11. The pad 2 has a through-oil groove 21 along its thickness direction, and the through-oil groove 21 is located above the first placement area. The through-oil groove 21 is used to allow ink on the pad 2 to drip onto the anti-stick component 10. The clamping assembly 3 includes a first clamping member 31 and a second clamping member 32 disposed on the workbench 1. The second clamping member 32 is disposed opposite to the first clamping member 31 and is located on different sides of the workbench 1 to clamp the circuit board on the pad 2. A clamping space is formed between the first clamping member 31 and the second clamping member 32. The first clamping member 31 is movably disposed on the workbench 1 so that the size of the clamping space is adjustable.

[0027] The technical solution of this utility model adopts a pad 2 that is detachably mounted on the workbench 1, and the pad 2 is located at the opening of the oil storage tank 11. The pad 2 is located above the anti-sticking component 10 inside the oil storage tank 11. The pad 2 has an oil passage groove 21, so that the ink on the circuit board drips through the oil passage groove 21 onto the anti-sticking component 10, and then the ink dripping from the circuit board is collected on the anti-sticking component 10. The user can remove the pad 2 and the anti-sticking component 10 from the workbench 1 to easily clean the ink on the pad 2 and the anti-sticking component 10, thereby improving the yield rate of the inkjet printer.

[0028] In this embodiment, the workbench 1 is used for mounting the fixture assembly and the pad 2. The workbench 1 has an oil reservoir 11 for collecting ink dripping from the pad 2. To facilitate cleaning the ink dripping into the oil reservoir 11, the bottom wall of the oil reservoir 11 may be provided with a first placement area, which can be used to place the anti-sticking component 10 so that the ink drips onto the anti-sticking component 10. The user can clean the ink by replacing the anti-sticking component 10. To facilitate cleaning the ink in the oil reservoir 11, the anti-sticking component 10 may be made of white paper or a wooden board. When the anti-sticking component 10 is made of a wooden board, the user can remove the anti-sticking component 10 from the workbench 1, scrape off the ink with a blade, wipe away any remaining ink residue with a lint-free cloth dampened with alcohol, and then reinstall the anti-sticking component 10 into the workbench 1. To better position the circuit board above the oil reservoir 11, this application uses a pad 2 located at the opening of the oil reservoir 11. The pad 2 is used to support the circuit board. This application employs a pad 2 that is detachably mounted on the workbench 1. The side of the pad 2 facing away from the oil reservoir 11 has a second placement area for mounting circuit boards, which better positions the circuit boards above the oil reservoir 11. This makes it easier for users to remove the pad 2 and the anti-stick component 10 from the workbench 1 and to clean them. When ink drips onto the anti-stick component 10, it quickly solidifies. When a certain amount of ink accumulates on the anti-stick component 10, a large amount of solid ink will accumulate to a certain height. To reduce the cleaning cost of manually replacing the anti-stick component 10, this application uses an anti-stick component 10 located between the pad 2 and the bottom wall of the oil reservoir 11. The pad 2 and the anti-stick component 10 are spaced apart along the height direction of the workbench 1, thus creating a storage space between the pad 2 and the anti-stick component 10 for ink dripping onto the anti-stick component 10. To facilitate the dripping of ink from the circuit board onto the anti-sticking component 10 via the pad 2, this application employs a through-oil groove 21 on the pad 2 along its thickness direction. The through-oil groove 21 is located above the first placement area, so that the through-oil groove 21 is positioned above the anti-sticking component 10. The ink from the circuit board drips onto the anti-sticking component 10 via the through-oil groove 21 on the pad 2, preventing ink from dripping onto other parts of the workbench 1.

[0029] In this embodiment, to improve the stability of the circuit board mounted on the workbench 1, this application employs a clamping assembly 3 to clamp the circuit board on the pad 2, thereby making the circuit board more stable for the printing process. The clamping assembly 3 may include a first clamping member 31 and a second clamping member 32 respectively disposed on the workbench 1. The first clamping member 31 may be located on the side of the workbench 1 away from the pad 2, and the second clamping member 32 may be located on the side of the workbench 1 closer to the pad 2. The first clamping member 31 and the second clamping member 32 surround the outer periphery of the pad 2, so that the clamping space formed between the first clamping member 31 and the second clamping member 32 is located above the pad 2, thereby allowing the clamping assembly 3 to clamp the circuit board above the pad 2. The first clamping member 31 is movably disposed on the workbench 1, so that the size of the clamping space is adjustable, thereby enabling the clamping assembly 3 to adapt to circuit boards of different sizes and improving the applicability of this application.

[0030] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, in one embodiment, there are two first clamping members 31, one of which is movably disposed on the worktable 1 along a first direction, and the other of which is movably disposed on the worktable 1 along a second direction; there are two second clamping members 32, one of which extends along the first direction, and the other of which extends along the second direction, and the clamping space is formed between the two first clamping members 31 and the two second clamping members 32, wherein the first direction and the second direction intersect.

[0031] In this embodiment, the first direction can be set to be consistent with the length direction of the worktable 1, and the second direction can be set to be consistent with the width direction of the worktable 1. Two first clamping members 31 move on the worktable 1 along the first direction or the second direction, respectively, and two second clamping members 32 extend along the first direction or the second direction, respectively. By adjusting the distance between the two first clamping members 31 and the two second clamping members 32, the size of the clamping space can be adjusted more easily. The first clamping member 31 moving along the first direction cooperates with the second clamping member 32 extending along the first direction, and the first clamping member 31 moving along the second direction cooperates with the second clamping member 32 extending along the second direction, so that the two first clamping members 31 and the two second clamping members 32 respectively enclose a quadrilateral and adjustable clamping space, thereby enabling the clamping assembly 3 to adapt to circuit boards of different sizes and improving the stability of the clamping assembly 3 in clamping the circuit board.

[0032] like Figure 1 As shown, in one embodiment, the clamping platform applied to the inkjet printer further includes a plurality of first fasteners 4, which are used to securely connect the second clamping member 32 to the worktable 1.

[0033] In this embodiment, the first fastener 4 can be configured as a bolt, screw, or pin, etc. The second clamping member 32 is detachably installed on one side of the workbench 1 near the pad 2 via the first fastener 4, which improves the stability of the connection between the second clamping member 32 and the workbench 1 and makes it easier to install and remove the second clamping member 32.

[0034] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, in one embodiment, the worktable 1 has a first slide 12 and a second slide 13. The first slide 12 extends along the first direction, and the second slide 13 extends along the second direction. One of the first clamping members 31 is movably disposed on the first slide 12 along the first direction, and the other first clamping member 31 is movably disposed on the second slide 13 along the second direction.

[0035] In this embodiment, the present application employs two first clamping members 31 that are respectively slidably engaged with the first slide groove 12 and the second slide groove 13. The user controls one of the first clamping members 31 to move to the desired position along the first direction and controls the other first clamping member 31 to move to the desired position along the second direction, thereby cooperating with the two second clamping members 32 to adjust the clamping space to be the same as the circuit board size required for production, thereby enabling the clamping assembly 3 to adapt to more circuit boards of different sizes.

[0036] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, in one embodiment, the clamping platform applied to the inkjet printer further includes a plurality of second fasteners 41, the second fasteners 41 being used for mounting the first clamping member 31 on the first slide rail 12, and / or, the second fasteners 41 being used for mounting the first clamping member 31 on the second slide rail 13.

[0037] In this embodiment, the first clamping member 31 may have multiple mounting holes, which are spaced apart along the length of the first clamping member 31. The second fastener 41 passes through the mounting holes and extends into the first slide groove 12 or the second slide groove 13. A nut then locks one end of the second fastener 41 into the first slide groove 12 or the second slide groove 13, thereby mounting the first clamping member 31 onto the first slide groove 12 or the second slide groove 13 and improving the stability of the connection between the two first clamping members 31 and the first slide groove 12 and the second slide groove 13, respectively. The second fastener 41 can restrict the first clamping member 31 from moving vertically while not hindering its sliding along the extension direction of the first slide groove 12 or the second slide groove 13, making it easier for the user to adjust the relative position of the two first clamping members 31. The second fastener 41 may be a bolt or screw, etc.

[0038] like Figure 3As shown, in one embodiment, the length of the first slide groove 12 along the first direction is smaller than the length of the second slide groove 13 along the second direction, and the sliding stroke of the first clamping member 31 in the second slide groove 13 is greater than the sliding stroke in the first slide groove 12. By adjusting the relative positions of the two first clamping members 31 in the first slide groove 12 and the second slide groove 13 respectively, the clamping assembly 3 can be adapted to more circuit boards of different sizes.

[0039] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, in one embodiment, the first slide groove 12 is provided in multiple ways, and the multiple first slide grooves 12 are spaced apart along the second direction. One of the first clamping members 31 is movably disposed on the multiple first slide grooves 12 along the first direction. The second slide groove 13 is provided in multiple ways, and the multiple second slide grooves 13 are spaced apart along the first direction. Another first clamping member 31 is movably disposed on the multiple second slide grooves 13 along the second direction.

[0040] In this embodiment, multiple first slide grooves 12 can be provided, and the multiple first slide grooves 12 are respectively spaced apart along the second direction. The first clamping member 31 is movably provided on the multiple first slide grooves 12 by multiple second fasteners 41, so that the multiple first slide grooves 12 provide support force when the first clamping member 31 moves, thereby improving the stability of the first clamping member 31 moving along the first direction on the worktable 1.

[0041] In this embodiment, multiple second slides 13 can be provided, and the multiple second slides 13 are respectively spaced apart along the first direction. The first clamping member 31 is movably provided on the multiple second slides 13 by multiple second fasteners 41, so that the multiple second slides 13 provide support force when the first clamping member 31 moves, thereby improving the stability of the first clamping member 31 moving along the second direction on the worktable 1.

[0042] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in one embodiment, the clamping platform for the inkjet printer further includes a plurality of support members 5 for supporting the pad 2. The plurality of support members 5 are disposed on the worktable 1 and located in the oil storage tank 11. The pad 2 is disposed on the plurality of support members 5.

[0043] In this embodiment, the present application provides multiple support members 5 on the workbench 1. The multiple support members 5 are spaced apart along the second direction within the oil storage tank 11, and are located between the oil storage tank 11 and the pad 2. The pad 2 abuts against the multiple support members 5 respectively. The multiple support members 5 are used to provide support force for the pad 2, thereby improving the stability of the pad 2 installed on the workbench 1.

[0044] like Figures 1 to 3As shown, in one embodiment, two first clamping members 31 and two second clamping members 32 are arranged sequentially around the outer periphery of the pad 2, so that the clamping space formed by the two first clamping members 31 and the two second clamping members 32 is located above the pad 2.

[0045] In this embodiment, two first clamping members 31 are respectively disposed on the adjacent two sides of the worktable 1 away from the pad 2. The two first clamping members 31 are moved back and forth along a first direction or a second direction to adjust the size of the clamping space. Two second clamping members 32 are respectively disposed on the adjacent two sides of the worktable 1 near the pad 2, so that the clamping space formed by the two first clamping members 31 and the two second clamping members 32 is exactly above the pad 2, so that the pad 2 can support the circuit board after being clamped by the clamping assembly 3, thereby improving the accuracy of the circuit board positioning and installation.
