Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of printer technology, and in particular to a printer humidification device. Background Technology
[0002] In the heat transfer printing process, the printer prints the pattern to be printed onto the heat transfer film. Then, the hot melt powder is cured onto the pattern of the heat transfer film by a powder dusting machine, powder dusting, and tunnel heating and drying. Because the accuracy requirements for printing the pattern are very high, if there is any accuracy deviation, the pattern will be blurred or blank after being transferred to the fabric.
[0003] During the printing process, the presence of static electricity can easily cause ink splattering, which can affect printing accuracy. Utility Model Content
[0004] Based on the above, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a printer humidification device that maintains constant humidity during printing, eliminates electrostatic interference, and improves printing accuracy.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0006] This utility model provides a printer humidification device, including: a printer body and a door, the door being rotatably connected to the printer body, a printing space being provided inside the printer body, a printing platform and a printing carriage being provided inside the printing space, a print head being provided on the printing carriage, a humidification water tank being provided at one end of the printing platform, an atomizing module being provided on the humidification water tank, the atomizing module being able to humidify the entire printing space, and a humidity detector being provided on the other side of the printing platform.
[0007] Furthermore, a trough is provided on one side of the printing platform, and the humidifying water tank is disposed in the trough. The top of the humidifying water tank is provided with an inclined surface, which faces the outside of the printer body. The inclination angle of the inclined surface is 30° to 60°, and the top of the inclined surface is lower than the top surface of the printing platform. The inclined surface is a mirror surface.
[0008] Furthermore, the humidifying water tank also includes a mounting surface, which is connected to the top of the inclined surface. At least one set of water pipes is provided on the mounting surface, which connects to the cavity inside the humidifying water tank. A water inlet is also provided on one side of the mounting surface.
[0009] Furthermore, a first connecting plate is provided at the bottom of the humidifying water tank and on both the front and rear sides of the water inlet, and a first connecting hole is provided on the first connecting plate;
[0010] A second connecting plate is provided at the bottom of the humidifying water tank on the side away from the water inlet, and a second connecting hole is provided on the second connecting plate.
[0011] Furthermore, the atomizing module is mounted on the mounting surface;
[0012] The atomizing module includes an atomizing housing, an atomizing nozzle at the top of the atomizing housing, an atomizing plate below the atomizing nozzle, and an atomizing absorbent cotton strip below the atomizing plate. The atomizing absorbent cotton strip extends through the water pipe to the bottom of the internal cavity of the humidifying water tank.
[0013] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0014] This invention provides a printer humidification device that, through an atomization module, humidifies the printing space, maintaining it in a constant humidity state. Under constant humidity, the humidity level remains essentially unchanged, preventing the printing media from absorbing moisture and expanding or contracting due to humidity fluctuations, thus maintaining dimensional stability of the printing media and ensuring the accuracy of multi-color overprinting. Simultaneously, the constant humidity environment effectively solves the ink splattering or splashing phenomena caused by static electricity accumulation in low-humidity environments.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0024] In the description of this embodiment, the terms "upper," "lower," "left," "right," etc., refer to the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are used only for ease of description and simplification of operation, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model. In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are only used for distinction in description and have no special meaning.
[0025] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, this utility model provides a printer humidification device, including: a printer body 11 and a door 12, the door 12 being rotatably connected to the printer body 11, a printing space 13 being provided inside the printer body, a printing platform 14 and a printing carriage 15 being provided inside the printing space 13, and a printing nozzle being provided on the printing carriage 15. How printing is achieved is prior art and will not be elaborated here. A humidifying water tank 2 is provided at one end of the printing platform 14, and an atomizing module 3 is provided on the humidifying water tank 2. The atomizing module 3 can humidify the entire printing space 13. A humidity detector 4 is provided on the other side of the printing platform 14.
[0026] This invention provides a printer humidification device that, through an atomization module 3, humidifies the printing space 13, maintaining it in a constant humidity state. In this constant humidity state, the humidity level remains essentially unchanged, preventing the printing media from absorbing moisture and expanding or contracting due to humidity fluctuations, thus maintaining dimensional stability of the printing media and ensuring the accuracy of multi-color overprinting. Simultaneously, the constant humidity environment effectively solves the problem of ink splattering or splashing caused by static electricity accumulation in low-humidity environments.
[0027] When maintaining the spray head, maintenance personnel often need to disassemble it or crouch down to look at it from below, making the maintenance process very inconvenient. To solve this problem, in this embodiment of the utility model, as follows... Figures 1 to 3 As shown, a recessed groove 16 is provided on one side of the printing platform 14, and the humidifying water tank 2 is disposed within the recessed groove 16. An inclined surface 21 is provided on the top of the humidifying water tank 2, facing outwards from the printer body 11. The inclination angle α of the inclined surface 21 is 30° to 60°, and the top of the inclined surface 21 is lower than the top surface of the printing platform 14. The inclined surface 21 is a mirror surface. Specifically, by providing the recessed groove 16, the top of the inclined surface 21 is lower than the top surface of the printing platform 14 during installation of the humidifying water tank 2. The printing carriage 15 can move above the inclined surface 21. Since the inclined surface 21 is a mirror surface with an inclination angle of 30° to 60°, printhead maintenance personnel can directly observe the mirror surface with the naked eye, and can see the reflected bottom of the printhead from the mirror surface, making printhead maintenance more convenient.
[0028] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 and 3As shown, the humidifying water tank 2 also includes a mounting surface 22, which is connected to the top of the inclined surface 21. At least one set of water pipes 23 are provided on the mounting surface 22. In this embodiment, two sets of water pipes 23 are provided, and the water pipes 23 connect to the cavity inside the humidifying water tank. A water inlet 24 is also provided on one side of the mounting surface 22. Specifically, in this embodiment, the mounting surface 22 is used to install the atomizing module 3, and the water inlet 24 on one side of the mounting surface 22 facilitates the user in adding water to the humidifying water tank 2.
[0029] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 As shown, to securely install the humidifying water tank 2, a first connecting plate 25 is provided at the bottom of the humidifying water tank 2 and on both the front and rear sides of the water inlet 24. The first connecting plate 25 has a first connecting hole 26. A second connecting plate 27 is provided on the bottom side of the humidifying water tank 2 away from the water inlet 24. The second connecting plate 27 has a second connecting hole 28. Specifically, by passing a locking screw through the first connecting hole 26 and the second connecting hole 28, the humidifying water tank 2 can be fixed to the printer body 11.
[0030] In some embodiments, such as Figure 3 As shown, the atomizing module 3 is mounted on the mounting surface 22. The atomizing module 3 includes an atomizing housing 31, an atomizing nozzle 32 is provided on the top of the atomizing housing 31, an atomizing plate 33 is provided below the atomizing nozzle 32, and an atomizing absorbent cotton strip 34 is provided below the atomizing plate 33. The atomizing absorbent cotton strip 34 extends through the water pipe 23 to the bottom of the internal cavity of the humidifying water tank 2. The principle of the atomizing plate 33 is prior art and will not be elaborated here. In this embodiment, the atomizing absorbent cotton guides water to the atomizing plate 33, the atomizing plate 33 atomizes the water and then sprays it out from the nozzle to humidify the printing space 13. Furthermore, a humidity detector 4 is provided on the other side of the printing platform 14. The humidity detector 4 works together with the atomization module 3 to control the humidity. As the printing carriage 15 moves, it continuously moves the atomized water molecules. The detector is located on the other side of the printing platform 14, which can effectively monitor the humidity threshold. When the humidity on the other side of the printing platform 14 reaches the threshold, it indicates that the humidity of the entire printing space 13 has reached the required level and cannot be further increased, because excessive humidity will affect the rapid adhesion of ink to the printing medium.

Those skilled in the art will understand that the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments described herein, and various obvious changes, readjustments, and substitutions can be made without departing from the scope of protection of the present invention. Therefore, although the present invention has been described in detail through the above embodiments, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments, and may include many other equivalent embodiments without departing from the concept of the present invention. The scope of the present invention is determined by the scope of the appended claims.
