Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of printer accessories, and in particular to a drawer-type, quick-replaceable printer waste ink collection box. Background Technology

[0002] The waste ink collection box is a key component inside an inkjet printer, primarily used to collect and store excess ink discharged from the printhead during cleaning, maintenance, or inkjet calibration. It effectively prevents waste ink from contaminating the printer's internal circuitry or soiling the paper, ensuring stable equipment operation. This collection box is typically located at the bottom or rear side of the printer. When the accumulated waste ink reaches a certain level, the printer will prompt a professional to clean or replace it to prevent ink spillage and damage to the equipment.

[0003] Existing devices lack convenient positioning and unlocking mechanisms. During installation, the collection box position must be repeatedly adjusted to ensure compatibility with the printer body, hindering quick and accurate docking. Disassembly requires tools or complex operations to release the fixation, making it impossible to remove the collection box manually. This results in lengthy waste ink cleaning or collection box replacement processes, impacting printer efficiency. Furthermore, if existing devices require squeezing out ink from components that absorb waste ink (such as absorbent cotton or simple ink-absorbing structures), it often necessitates manually disassembling the outer casing or removing the absorbent component, followed by manual pressing with tweezers, pressure plates, or other tools. These multi-step disassembly and positioning processes cannot be completed quickly in the original device position. This is particularly problematic for printers requiring frequent maintenance (such as high-volume office printers), significantly increasing operation time and reducing equipment efficiency. Therefore, a drawer-type, quickly replaceable printer waste ink collection box is proposed to address these issues. Utility Model Content

[0004] To overcome the above shortcomings, this utility model provides a drawer-type, quick-replaceable waste ink collection box for printers, aiming to improve the problems of cumbersome and complicated disassembly and assembly of waste ink boxes and the complicated ink discharge operation that requires disassembling the box for cleaning in the prior art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a drawer-type quick-replaceable printer waste ink collection box, including a body, wherein a disassembly mechanism is provided on the inner wall of the body, and a pressing mechanism is provided on the inner wall of the body; The disassembly mechanism includes a waste ink cartridge, which is detachably connected to the inner wall of the machine body.

[0013] This utility model has the following beneficial effects: 1. In this utility model, during installation, the waste ink cartridge is inserted into the sliding groove on the inner wall of the machine body. After pushing, the waste ink cartridge squeezes the inclined block. The inclined block pushes the positioning buckle upward and locks it into the positioning slot of the waste ink cartridge. At the same time, the fixing buckle slides along the first guide rod under the action of the spring and locks into the fixing slot of the inclined block to complete the fixation. During disassembly, the fixing buckle is pulled out of the fixing slot, and then the inclined block is pulled to release the squeezing and fixing of the positioning buckle. After the positioning buckle is released from the fixing, it is released from the positioning slot by gravity, and the waste ink cartridge can be pulled out, realizing quick disassembly and assembly, thereby improving the problem of cumbersome and complicated disassembly and assembly of waste ink cartridges in the prior art.

[0014] 2. In this utility model, the operator holds and pulls the lever, which drives the first sliding block to slide along the second guide rod. The squeezing block on the side wall of the first sliding block moves accordingly and contacts the ink-absorbing plate. The squeezing block applies force to push the ink-absorbing plate, which drives the second sliding block to slide along the second guide rod. At the same time, the second sliding block stretches the tension spring, and the ink-absorbing plate is squeezed to squeeze out the adsorbed waste ink. After the force is stopped, the tension spring returns to its original position and pulls the second sliding block. When the second sliding block returns to its original position, it drives the connecting sleeve, which in turn drives the subsequent second sliding blocks to return to their original positions. The ink-absorbing plate also returns to its initial position, completing one squeezing ink discharge cycle. This improves the problem of complex ink discharge operation requiring disassembly and cleaning in the prior art. Attached Figure Description
