[0024] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to embodiments: Example
[0025] like Figure 1-6 As shown, this utility model provides a waste ink storage cabinet, including a volatile ink treatment mechanism, which includes a cabinet body 11, a ventilation opening 12 on the surface of the cabinet body 11, and a sealed door 13 on the front of the cabinet body 11; a layer spacing adjustment and weight detection mechanism, which includes a slider 21, a sliding groove 22 fixedly connected to one side of the slider 21, and a placement plate 23 slidably connected inside the sliding groove 22; and a fixing mechanism, which includes a fixing plate 31, the bottom of the fixing plate 31 being fixedly connected to the top of the placement plate 23, and a threaded rod 32 being threadedly connected inside the fixing plate 31.
[0026] In this embodiment, when staff need to store waste ink, they first open the cabinet 11 through the sealed door 13. According to the height of the ink container to be stored, they operate the layer spacing adjustment and weight detection mechanism: the sliding groove 22 slides up and down along the slide rail 18 on the inner wall of the cabinet through the slider 21, which drives the placement plate 23 to move to a suitable height. Then, they turn the adjusting screw 25 on the surface of the limit block 24 to fix it with the adjusting threaded hole on the surface of the slide rail 18, thus completing the flexible adjustment of the layer spacing. Example
[0027] like Figure 1-6 As shown, based on Embodiment 1, this utility model provides a technical solution: Preferably, the volatile ink treatment mechanism further includes an activated carbon filter plate 14, which is disposed on the side of the inner cavity of the cabinet 11 near the ventilation opening 12. An installation plate 15 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the cabinet 11, and a motor 16 is fixedly connected to the surface of the installation plate 15. One end of the shaft of the motor 16 is fixedly connected to a fan blade 17. A slide rail 18 with multiple adjustment threaded holes on its surface is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the cabinet 11. The inner wall of the slide rail 18 is slidably connected to the surface of the slider 21. The layer spacing adjustment and weight detection mechanism further includes a limiting block 24, the top of the limiting block 24 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the placement plate 23, and the surface of the limiting block 24 is slidably connected to the interior of the sliding groove 22.
[0028] In this embodiment, the ink container is placed in the placement slot 26 of the placement plate 23, with the bottom of the container contacting the support plate 28. The pressure sensor 27 collects weight data and transmits it to the display panel 29 to achieve visual monitoring of the stored weight. Then, the threaded rod 32 of the fixing mechanism is rotated to drive the fixing block 33 to move linearly along the guide rod 34 until the fixing block clamps the side wall of the container, preventing tipping through mechanical limiting. Example
[0029] like Figure 1-6 As shown, based on Embodiment 1, this utility model provides a technical solution: Preferably, the surface of the limiting block 24 is threaded with an adjusting screw 25, one end of the adjusting screw 25 is threaded with an adjusting threaded hole on the surface of the slide rail 18, the surface of the placement plate 23 is provided with a placement groove 26, the bottom of the inner cavity of the placement groove 26 is fixedly connected with a pressure sensor 27, the top of the pressure sensor 27 is fixedly connected with a support plate 28, the front of the placement plate 23 is fixedly connected with a display panel 29, the display panel 29 is electrically connected to the pressure sensor 27, the fixing mechanism also includes a fixing block 33, one side of the fixing block 33 is rotatably connected to one end of the threaded rod 32, the two ends of the fixing block 33 near the threaded rod 32 are fixedly connected with guide rods 34, the surface of the guide rods 34 is slidably connected to the inside of the fixing plate 31.
[0030] In this embodiment, by closing the sealing door 13, the motor 16 on the mounting plate 15 drives the fan blade 17 to rotate, creating a negative pressure inside the cabinet. The air containing volatile ink is discharged through the vent 12. The organic waste gas is first adsorbed by the activated carbon filter plate 14, and then replenished by fresh air from the outside, realizing air circulation inside the cabinet. In daily use, the staff can repeatedly adjust the layer spacing according to the ink containers of different specifications. The threaded engagement between the adjusting screw 25 and the slide rail 18 ensures that the placement plate 23 is positioned stably. The sliding connection between the guide rod 34 and the fixing plate 31 allows the fixing block 33 to accurately clamp the container under the drive of the threaded rod 32, avoiding displacement caused by vibration and making it easier to use.
[0031] The working principle of this waste ink storage cabinet will be explained in detail below.
[0032] like Figure 1-6 As shown, when staff need to store waste ink, they first open the cabinet 11 through the sealed door 13. Based on the height of the ink container to be stored, they operate the layer spacing adjustment and weight detection mechanism: the sliding groove 22 slides up and down along the slide rail 18 on the inner wall of the cabinet via the slider 21, moving the placement plate 23 to a suitable height. Then, they tighten the adjusting screw 25 on the surface of the limit block 24 to fix it with the adjusting threaded hole on the surface of the slide rail 18, completing the flexible adjustment of the layer spacing. Next, the ink container is placed in the placement groove 26 of the placement plate 23, with the bottom of the container contacting the support plate 28. The pressure sensor 27 collects weight data and transmits it to the display panel 29, realizing visual monitoring of the stored weight. Then, they rotate the threaded rod 32 of the fixing mechanism, moving the fixing block 33 along the guide... The rod 34 moves linearly until the fixing block clamps the side wall of the container, preventing tipping through mechanical limits. After placement, the sealing door 13 is closed, and the motor 16 on the mounting plate 15 drives the fan blade 17 to rotate, creating negative pressure inside the cabinet. Air containing volatile ink is discharged through the vent 12. The organic waste gas is first adsorbed by the activated carbon filter plate 14, and then replenished by fresh air from the outside, achieving air circulation inside the cabinet. In daily use, the staff can repeatedly adjust the layer spacing according to different specifications of ink containers. The threaded engagement of the adjusting screw 25 and the slide rail 18 ensures the stable positioning of the placement plate 23. The sliding connection between the guide rod 34 and the fixing plate 31 allows the fixing block 33 to accurately clamp the container under the drive of the threaded rod 32, avoiding displacement caused by vibration and making it easier to use.
[0033] The present invention has been described in detail above. However, modifications or improvements can be made to it, which will be obvious to those skilled in the art. Therefore, any modifications or improvements that do not depart from the spirit of the present invention are within the protection scope of the present invention.
