[0033] The technical solutions in the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are merely exemplary embodiments of this utility model, and not the only embodiments.

[0034] like Figures 1 to 11 As shown, the device for cleaning the toner cartridge scraper includes an operating table 1. The operating table 1 is equipped with a sponge feeding assembly for conveying sponges 40. The sponges 40 are sprayed with alcohol; the combination of sponges 40 and alcohol can better clean stains on the toner cartridge scraper 41. The operating table 1 is also equipped with a cleaning assembly for cleaning the toner cartridge scraper 41. The cleaning assembly picks up the sponges 40 from the sponge feeding assembly and cleans the toner cartridge scraper 41. The sponge feeding assembly includes a conveyor belt 2, on which several sponges 40 are stacked along its traveling direction. These sponges 40 are tightly packed together to prevent them from detaching. Conveyor belt 2, with baffles on both sides, and a drive assembly for driving its transmission is installed at the tail end of conveyor belt 2. Understandably, in actual use, the cleaning assembly picks up one or a few sponges 40 to clean the toner scraper 41 to be cleaned. Therefore, it is necessary to separate the stacked sponges 40 one by one. Thus, separation assemblies for separating the sponges 40 one by one are installed on both sides of the tail end of conveyor belt 2. A feeding assembly for placing the toner scraper 41 to be cleaned is also installed on the operating table 1. The cleaning assembly is used to pick up the sponges 40 separated by the separation assembly to clean the toner scraper 41 on the feeding assembly.

[0035] Specifically, such as Figures 2 to 4 As shown, the drive assembly includes a first drive wheel 3, a second drive wheel 4, a first rotating shaft 5, a second rotating shaft 6, a synchronous belt 7, and a drive motor 8. The first drive wheel 3 is connected to the drive wheel inside the tail end of the conveyor belt 2 via the first rotating shaft 5. The synchronous belt 7 is sleeved around the outer periphery of the first drive wheel 3 and the second drive wheel 4 to connect them. The second drive wheel 4 is connected to the drive motor 8 via the second rotating shaft 6 and is located below the first drive wheel 3. When the drive motor 8 is started, the second rotating shaft 6 rotates, driving the synchronous belt 7, which connects the first drive wheel 3 and the second drive wheel 4, to rotate. The rotation of the synchronous belt 7 drives the first rotating shaft 5 to rotate, which in turn drives the drive wheel inside the tail end of the conveyor belt 2 to rotate, thereby driving the conveyor belt 2 to move synchronously along the conveyor belt 2.

[0036] like Figure 5As shown, the separation assembly includes a push cylinder 9 and a clamping assembly, which are located on both sides of the conveyor belt 2. The clamping assembly includes a first clamping cylinder 10 and a second clamping cylinder 11 arranged opposite to each other. The push cylinder 9 pushes the sponge 40, which has reached the end of the conveyor belt 2, between the first clamping cylinder 10 and the second clamping cylinder 11, and the sponge 40 is clamped by the first clamping cylinder 10 and the second clamping cylinder 11. When the sponge 40 is the foremost of the several sponges 40 stacked on the conveyor belt 2... When the sponge 40 at the end moves to the tail end of the conveyor belt 2, the push cylinder 9 is activated. The push cylinder 9 pushes the sponge 40 at the front end between the first clamping cylinder 10 and the second clamping cylinder 11. Then, the first clamping cylinder 10 and the second clamping cylinder 11 move in the same direction and work together to clamp the sponge 40 at the front end. The cleaning component then uses the sponge 40 at the front end, which is clamped by the first clamping cylinder 10 and the second clamping cylinder 11, to clean the toner cartridge scraper 41 to be cleaned.

[0037] like Figure 6 As shown, the cleaning assembly includes a transverse guide rail 12 and a slide plate 13. The slide plate 13 is slidably connected to the transverse guide rail 12. The slide plate 13 is driven to slide along the transverse guide rail 12 by a ball screw. The ball screw is driven by a servo motor, which in turn drives the slide plate 13 to slide along the transverse guide rail 12. A lifting guide rail 14 is mounted on the slide plate 13 along its height. A first slider 15 is slidably connected to the lifting guide rail 14. Similarly, the first slider 15 is also driven to slide along the lifting guide rail 14 by a ball screw. Here, the ball screw is also driven by a servo motor, which in turn drives the first slider 15 to slide along the lifting guide rail 14. A surface of the first slider 15 is fixedly mounted with... The gripper 16 can slide up and down along the lifting guide rail 14 together with the first slider 15. The gripper 16 is used to grip the sponge 40 separated by the separation component. In order to make the gripper 16 firmly grip the separated sponge 40, several grippers 16 are arranged side by side. After the separation component separates the foremost sponge 40 from the stacked sponge 40, the first slider 15 slides down along the lifting guide rail 14 until the gripper 16 can grip the foremost sponge 40. The first slider 15 rises along the lifting guide rail 14, and the slide plate 13 moves left and right along the transverse guide rail 12 so that the foremost sponge 40 gripped by the gripper 16 can wipe the toner drum scraper 41 on the feeding component back and forth.

[0038] like Figures 7 to 11As shown, the feeding assembly includes a feeding mechanism, a translation mechanism, and a flipping mechanism. The feeding mechanism is used to convey the toner cartridge scraper 41 to be cleaned. The translation mechanism is used to receive the toner cartridge scraper 41 to be cleaned from the feeding mechanism. The flipping mechanism is used to flip the toner cartridge scraper 41 to be cleaned from the translation mechanism so that the cleaning assembly can clean the toner cartridge scraper 41 to be cleaned. The feeding mechanism includes a conveyor belt 17, on which several toner cartridge scrapers 41 to be cleaned are stacked along its traveling direction. Belt baffles 18 are provided on both sides of the conveyor belt 17 to limit the movement of the toner cartridge scrapers 41 to be cleaned. It can be understood that when the toner cartridge scraper 41 to be cleaned is placed on the conveyor belt 17... The scraper bracket of the toner cartridge scraper 41 to be cleaned is in direct contact with the conveyor belt 17, and the blade of the toner cartridge scraper 41 to be cleaned is in a vertically upward state. When the toner cartridge scraper 41 to be cleaned moves along the conveyor belt 17 to the end of the conveyor belt 17, under the action of inertia and force, the toner cartridge scraper 41 to be cleaned enters the translation mechanism, and the blade of the toner cartridge scraper 41 to be cleaned flips from the vertically upward state to the vertically downward state. Since the cleaning component cleans the blade of the toner cartridge scraper 41 to be cleaned, it is necessary to flip the blade of the toner cartridge scraper 41 to be cleaned back to the vertically upward state. Therefore, a flipping mechanism is needed to change the state of the blade.

[0039] like Figure 7 and Figure 8As shown, the translation mechanism includes a translation guide rail 19, on which a second slider 20 is slidably connected. The second slider 20 travels along the translation guide rail 19 in the same direction as the cleaning drum scraper 41 travels along the conveyor belt 17. Since the translation mechanism is used to receive the cleaning drum scraper 41 from the conveyor belt 17, the end of the translation guide rail 19 near the end of the conveyor belt 17 should not exceed the range of the end of the conveyor belt 17 to avoid the translation mechanism being unable to smoothly receive the cleaning drum scraper 41. Furthermore, the flipping... The rotating mechanism needs to flip the toner drum scraper 41 on the translation mechanism. Therefore, the end of the translation guide rail 19 away from the tail end of the conveyor belt 17 should be close to the flipping mechanism to facilitate the flipping mechanism to flip the toner drum scraper 41. A vertical plate 21 is fixedly installed at the tail end of the second slider 20. The vertical plate 21 has symmetrical mounting grooves 22. A lifting cylinder 23 is installed on the vertical plate 21. The vertical plate 21 and the lifting cylinder 23 are slidably engaged and locked relative to each other by a fixing component. The lifting cylinder 23 has symmetrical slots 24 through which the fixing component passes. The lifting cylinder 23 slides and locks relative to the vertical plate 21 through the slot 24 and mounting slot 22. The relative position of the lifting cylinder 23 on the vertical plate 21 can be adjusted manually according to the actual situation. The fixing component can be a fixing screw. The top of the lifting cylinder 23 is fixedly mounted with a base 25 that matches the shape of the toner drum scraper 41 to be cleaned. The base 25 has two locking slots 26 on both sides near the end of the conveyor belt 17. When the toner drum scraper 41 to be cleaned moves along the conveyor belt 17 to the end of the conveyor belt 17, it is subjected to inertia and force. Under the action, the toner drum scraper 41 to be cleaned flips over, and the two ends of the blade of the toner drum scraper 41 to be cleaned are locked by the latches 26 on both sides of the base 25. At this time, the blade of the toner drum scraper 41 to be cleaned is in a vertical downward state, thus completing the transfer of the toner drum scraper 41 to be cleaned from the conveyor belt 17 to the base 25. In order to facilitate the latches 26 to securely lock the two ends of the blade of the toner drum scraper 41 to be cleaned, the latches 26 are set with a "V" shaped structure. Furthermore, the flipping mechanism needs to clamp the toner drum scraper 41 to be cleaned and flip it over in time.

[0040] Specifically, such as Figures 9 to 11As shown, the flipping mechanism includes a first support plate 27 and a second support plate 28 fixedly installed on both sides of the translation mechanism. A connecting plate 29 is installed between the first support plate 27 and the second support plate 28. The two ends of the connecting plate 29 are rotatably connected to the first support plate 27 and the second support plate 28, respectively. The two ends of the surface of the connecting plate 29 are provided with opposing finger cylinders 30. Each finger cylinder 30 is provided with a gripper 31. The gripper 31 is used to grip the toner scraper 41 to be cleaned on the translation mechanism. When the toner scraper 41 to be cleaned flips onto the base 25 on the translation mechanism, the finger cylinders 30 at both ends of the connecting plate 29 are immediately activated and the gripper 31 simultaneously grips the two ends of the blade support of the toner scraper 41 to be cleaned. The connecting plate 29 rotates upward so that the blade of the toner scraper 41 to be cleaned is in a vertically upward state. Then, the cleaning component with the sponge 40 is used to clean the blade of the toner scraper 41 to be cleaned.

[0041] To enable the connecting plate 29 to rotate upwards so that the blade of the toner cartridge scraper 41 to be cleaned is in a vertically upward position, a first connecting block 32 on the same side as the first support plate 27 and a second connecting block 33 on the same side as the second support plate 28 are respectively provided at both ends of the connecting plate 29. The first support plate 27 is provided with a bearing, and the first connecting block 32 is rotatably connected to the bearing through a first rotating shaft 34. A second rotating shaft 35 is provided through the second support plate 28. One end of the second rotating shaft 35 is connected to the second connecting block 33, and the other end of the second rotating shaft 35 is connected to a stepper motor 36 that drives the second rotating shaft 35 to rotate. When the stepper motor 36 is started, the second rotating shaft 35 rotates and drives the second connecting block 33 to rotate, which in turn drives the connecting plate 29 to rotate, and then simultaneously drives the first connecting block 32 to rotate. This realizes the rotation of the flipping mechanism. In this utility model, the flipping angle of the flipping mechanism is 180°, which can change the blade of the toner cartridge scraper 41 to be cleaned from a vertically downward position to a vertically upward position.

[0042] A slotted switch 37 is provided on the outer side of the first support plate 27, and a sensing plate 38 that cooperates with the slotted switch 37 is provided at the end of the first rotating shaft 34. The cooperation between the sensing plate 38 and the slotted switch 37 can control the rotation angle of the first rotating shaft 34, ensuring that the flipping mechanism can smoothly flip the blade of the toner drum scraper 41 to a vertically upward state. A rotation limit plate 39 is symmetrically provided on the inner side of the second support plate 28. Similarly, the rotation limit plate 39 can limit the rotation angle of the flipping mechanism, ensuring that the flipping mechanism moves within a certain range.

[0043] The operating table 1 is also equipped with a discharge chute. After the toner drum scraper 41 is cleaned, the toner drum scraper 41 is flipped by the flipping mechanism, and the gripper 31 of the finger cylinder 30 is released, so that the toner drum scraper 41 is disengaged from the flipping mechanism and enters the discharge chute. The cleaned toner drum scraper 41 is then removed manually or by other equipment.

[0044] Understandably, the control panel 1 is also equipped with control switches and other components for controlling the operation of the device of this utility model. These are within the scope of existing technology and will not be described in detail here.

[0045] The working steps of the device in this embodiment include the following steps:

[0046] S1. Stack the toner drum scraper 41 to be cleaned on the conveyor belt 17, and move the toner drum scraper 41 to the end of the conveyor belt 17 along the conveyor belt 17.

[0047] S2. Under the action of inertia and force, the cleaning drum scraper 41 flips and enters the base 25, and the blade of the cleaning drum scraper 41 is engaged in the bayonet 26.

[0048] S3. The gripper 31 of the finger cylinder 30 holds the scraper bracket of the toner drum scraper 41 to be cleaned. The stepper motor 36 is started, and the connecting plate 29 rotates and flips upward by 180°, so that the blade of the toner drum scraper 41 to be cleaned is in a vertical upward position.

[0049] S4. Place the sponges 40 sprayed with alcohol on the conveyor belt 2, and let the sponges 40 move along the conveyor belt 2 to the end of the conveyor belt 2.

[0050] S5, the push cylinder 9 pushes the sponge 40 at the very front end of the conveyor belt 2 to the space between the first clamping cylinder 10 and the second clamping cylinder 11, and the first clamping cylinder 10 and the second clamping cylinder 11 clamp the sponge 40 at the very front end.

[0051] S6. The first slider 15 slides down along the lifting guide rail 14 until the gripper 16 picks up the frontmost sponge 40. The slide plate 13 moves laterally left and right along the transverse guide rail 12 so that the frontmost sponge 40 picked up by the gripper 16 can wipe the blade of the toner cartridge scraper 41 to be cleaned in S3.

[0052] S7. Repeat the above steps to clean the other toner cartridge scrapers 41.

[0053] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model. The protection scope of this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. All technical solutions falling within the scope of this utility model's concept are protected. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, any improvements and modifications made without departing from the principle of this utility model should also be considered within the protection scope of this utility model.
