Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cleaning equipment technology, specifically to a cleaning device for ink tanks. Background Technology

[0002] The primary function of a printer's ink reservoir is to store ink, ensuring a stable and even supply of ink to the print head during printing. The ink reservoir, through components such as pumps and metering devices, delivers ink from the storage area to the print head. Its design must guarantee ink flowability, preventing clumping or sedimentation to ensure smooth printing. Simultaneously, the ink reservoir must maintain a constant temperature to prevent changes in ink viscosity due to temperature fluctuations, which could affect print quality. Furthermore, the design of the indentation angle and shape promotes smooth ink flow within the reservoir.

[0003] Currently, most ink tank cleaning is done manually using a scraper to remove the ink. However, this cleaning method is inefficient, and the ink scraped up by the scraper is easily spilled onto the side of the scraper, requiring workers to frequently use the scraper to clean the ink.

[0004] Therefore, we propose a cleaning device for ink tanks. Utility Model Content

Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention according to the specific circumstances.

[0027] Please see Figure 1-4 This utility model provides a technical solution: a cleaning device for an ink tank, including a support base 1. The surface of the support base 1 is provided with a sliding groove. A first movable plate 3 that can move back and forth is slidably connected in the sliding groove through an electric push rod 2. An electric telescopic rod 4 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the first movable plate 3. A T-shaped plate 5 is fixedly installed at the upper end of the electric telescopic rod 4. Side support plates are fixedly connected to both ends of the T-shaped plate 5. An adjusting screw 6 is rotatably connected between the two side support plates. A second movable plate 7 is threadedly connected to the outer surface of the adjusting screw 6. The second movable plate 7 and the lower surface of the T-shaped plate 5 are slidably connected. A cleaning mechanism 8 is provided on the lower surface of the second movable plate 7.

[0028] The cleaning mechanism 8 includes a middle scraper 9, a first side scraper 10, a second side scraper 11, and a spiral oil suction pipe 12. The middle scraper 9 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the second movable plate 7. The first side scraper 10 and the second side scraper 11 are respectively fixedly connected to the left and right sides of the middle scraper 9. The spiral oil suction pipe 12 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the middle scraper 9, and multiple oil suction holes are opened on the lower surface of the spiral oil suction pipe 12.

[0029] The electric push rod 2 can be extended and retracted to adjust the front and rear positions of the cleaning mechanism 8. The electric telescopic rod 4 can be extended and retracted to adjust the up and down positions of the cleaning mechanism 8. By adjusting the screw 6, the second movable plate 7 and the cleaning mechanism 8 can be moved laterally left and right. The ink is scraped off by the lateral movement of the middle scraper 9, the first side scraper 10 and the second side scraper 11. In addition, the spiral oil suction pipe 12 absorbs the scraped ink, which can effectively prevent the scraped ink from overflowing from the side of the scraper. Compared with manual cleaning, the cleaning efficiency is greatly improved.

[0030] The cleaning mechanism 8 also includes a liquid pump 13, a storage tank 14, and a connecting pipe 15. The liquid pump 13 and the storage tank 14 are both fixedly installed on the upper surface of the T-shaped plate 5. The input end of the liquid pump 13 is connected to the connecting pipe 15, and the output end of the liquid pump 13 is fixedly connected to the storage tank 14. The lower end of the connecting pipe 15 is fixedly connected to the spiral oil suction pipe 12. By setting up the cleaning mechanism 8 and using the operation of the liquid pump 13, the ink absorbed by the spiral oil suction pipe 12 can be transported from the connecting pipe 15 to the storage tank 14 for storage, thereby facilitating subsequent centralized processing.

[0031] The surfaces of the first side scraper 10 and the second side scraper 11 are both provided with semi-circular grooves 16, and the semi-circular grooves 16 on the surface of the first side scraper 10 and the second side scraper 11 are staggered. By setting the semi-circular grooves 16, ink can flow from the outside into both sides of the middle scraper 9.

[0032] A servo motor 17 is fixedly connected to the surface of the side support plate, and the output end of the servo motor 17 is connected to the adjusting screw 6 for transmission. By setting the servo motor 17, the adjusting screw 6 can be driven to rotate.

[0033] Two protruding plates 18 are fixedly connected to the lower surface of the T-shaped plate 5. The second movable plate 7 is slidably connected to the outer surface of the two protruding plates 18. By setting the protruding plates 18, the second movable plate 7 can be limited, thereby facilitating the left and right lateral movement of the second movable plate 7.

[0034] Two threaded rods 19 that penetrate the T-shaped plate 5 are fixedly connected to the outer side of the telescopic end of the electric telescopic rod 4. Nuts 20 are threaded on the outer surface of the threaded rods 19. By setting the threaded rods 19 and nuts 20, the entire T-shaped plate 5 can be rotated by loosening the nuts 20 and then tightening the nuts 20 to fix the T-shaped plate 5. By adjusting the inclination of the T-shaped plate 5, it can adapt to the cleaning work of ink tanks with different inclinations.

[0035] Self-locking casters 21 are fixedly connected to the four corners of the lower surface of the support base 1. By setting the self-locking casters 21, the entire support base 1 can be moved easily, thereby making it easy to move the entire device to the ink tank of different printers.

[0036] Working principle: When the ink tank cleaning device is in use, the self-locking caster wheel 21 is used to move the support base 1 to the side of the ink tank. Then, the electric telescopic rod 4 is extended and retracted to make the middle scraper 9 close to the bottom of the ink tank. Next, the servo motor 17 drives the adjusting screw 6 to rotate, so that the second movable plate 7 moves horizontally left and right. This drives the middle scraper 9, the first side scraper 10 and the second side scraper 11 to move left and right synchronously, thereby scraping up the ink in the ink tank. With the work of the liquid pump 13, the scraped ink is absorbed by the spiral suction pipe 12, which can effectively prevent the scraped ink from overflowing from the side of the scraper. Compared with manual cleaning, the cleaning efficiency is greatly improved. Finally, the electric push rod 2 is used to extend and retract to adjust the front and rear position of the cleaning mechanism 8, so as to adapt to ink tanks of different widths.

Other structures can refer to the general design. In the absence of conflict, the same embodiment and different embodiments of this utility model can be combined with each other.

[0038] Finally: The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
