Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of inkjet printing, and in particular to an integrated printhead moisturizing and cleaning device. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of digital inkjet printing or printing equipment, residual ink, paper dust or environmental dust can easily accumulate on the surface of the nozzle plate of the inkjet printhead during daily operation. These contaminants can clog the tiny nozzles, leading to a decline in print quality and the appearance of streaks, missing parts or ink splatter. Therefore, the equipment needs to be cleaned and moisturized regularly to ensure its continuous stable operation and extend its service life.

[0003] Traditional nozzle maintenance modules typically employ a split design, where the cleaning mechanism and the moisturizing mechanism are two independent, physically separate functional units. This results in low operating efficiency, complex structure, large space occupation, and issues related to collision risks and stability. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide an integrated nozzle moisturizing and cleaning device to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] The technical problem solved by this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0006] An integrated spray nozzle moisturizing and cleaning device includes a cleaning basin and a moisturizing basin. Partitions are installed on both sides of the moisturizing basin, and a chain drive assembly is installed on each partition. A scraper mounting rod is fixedly installed between two chain drive assemblies. The scraper mounting rod spans the moisturizing basin, and a cleaning scraper is fixedly installed on the scraper mounting rod.

[0007] Preferably, a guide rail plate is fixedly installed on one side of each of the chain drive assemblies on the washing basin, and a base block is fixedly installed at both ends on the lower end face of the scraper mounting rod. A roller is rotatably installed on each of the base blocks, and the roller abuts against the guide rail plate.

[0008] Preferably, a motor is fixedly installed on the washing basin, and a drive shaft is fixedly installed at the output end of the motor. The sprockets of the two chain drive groups are both fixedly installed on the drive shaft.

[0009] Preferably, the chain drive assembly is provided with a plurality of connecting fasteners, and the base block is fixedly mounted on the connecting fasteners.

[0010] Preferably, a steel pipe frame is fixedly installed at the bottom of the washing basin.

[0011] The advantages and positive effects of this utility model are:

[0012] The core benefits of this invention lie in its high integration, operational stability, and optimized operating procedures. Specifically, by integrating the humidification basin and the cleaning basin into a fixed unit, it fundamentally eliminates the collision risks and structural instability caused by the movement of the cleaning basin in traditional separate designs. Combined with a scraper assembly with rollers at the bottom that runs smoothly on the guide rail, it ensures extremely stable reciprocating motion of the cleaning scraper, enabling uniform, thorough, and damage-free cleaning of the precision printhead. More importantly, this integrated design of "instant humidification after cleaning" combines two originally independent processes into one, completing them continuously in the same workstation and in a single operation. This greatly simplifies equipment operation, shortens maintenance time, and significantly improves the overall operating efficiency and reliability of inkjet equipment. Attached Figure Description

However, the utility model can be implemented in many different forms and is not limited to the embodiments described herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided so that the disclosure of the utility model will be more thorough and complete.

[0021] In this invention, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," "joining," and "fixing," etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; they can refer to a mechanical connection, a direct connection, or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication of at least two components or the interaction relationship of at least two components, unless otherwise explicitly limited. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention according to the specific circumstances. The embodiments of this invention are further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings:

[0022] Please see Figure 1-4 This utility model provides an embodiment of an integrated spray head moisturizing and cleaning device, comprising a cleaning basin 10 and a moisturizing basin 11. A partition 12 is installed in the inner cavity of the cleaning basin 10. Partitions 12 are respectively installed on both sides of the moisturizing basin 11. A chain drive assembly 15 is installed on each partition 12. A motor 14 is fixedly installed on the cleaning basin 10. A drive shaft 13 is fixedly installed at the output end of the motor 14. The sprockets of both chain drive assemblies 15 are fixedly installed on the drive shaft 13 to drive the chain drive assemblies 15. A connecting fastener is installed on each link of the chain drive assembly 15. A scraper assembly for spray head cleaning is installed between the two chain drive assemblies 15. The scraper assembly includes a scraper mounting rod 17, which spans across the moisturizing basin 11. A cleaning scraper 18 is fixedly installed on the 7. To ensure more stable cleaning of the nozzles by the cleaning scraper 18 during reciprocating movement, base blocks 19 are fixedly installed at both ends of the lower end face of the scraper mounting rod 17. A roller 20 is rotatably installed on each base block 19. A guide rail plate 16 is fixedly installed on one side of each chain drive assembly 15 on the cleaning basin 10. The roller 20 abuts against the guide rail plate 16. When the motor 14 drives the drive shaft 13 to rotate, the scraper mounting rod 17 is moved through the chain drive assembly 15. The roller 20 at the bottom moves along the guide rail plate 16, ensuring the stability of the cleaning scraper 18 when cleaning the nozzles. The cleaning scraper 18 is used to clean the nozzles, and the bottom moisturizing basin 11 can moisturize them, reducing the number of steps in equipment operation.

[0023] It should be noted that, in this embodiment, a steel pipe frame 21 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the washing basin 10. The steel pipe frame 21 is connected to the main frame. One end of the steel pipe frame 21 supports the integrated structure composed of the washing basin and the moisturizing basin, and the other end is firmly fixed to the bottom of the main frame. With the help of the stable structure of the main frame, the stability of the entire washing and moisturizing system is further enhanced.

[0024] In practice, when the printhead of the inkjet printing equipment becomes dirty, the printhead is moved above the moisturizing basin 11. At this time, the motor 14 is started, and through the transmission of the chain drive group 15, the scraper mounting rod 17 is driven to move back and forth below the printhead. Thus, the cleaning scraper 18 is used to clean the printhead, and moisturizing is performed immediately. Compared with the traditional design, this design avoids the entire cleaning basin from moving, and avoids collisions between the cleaning basin and the moisturizing basin during the movement, thus realizing the integrated structure of the cleaning basin and the moisturizing basin.

[0025] In summary, the core benefits of this utility model lie in its high integration, operational stability, and optimized operating procedures. Specifically, by integrating the humidification basin and the cleaning basin into a fixed unit, it fundamentally eliminates the collision risks and structural instability caused by the movement of the cleaning basin in traditional separate designs. Furthermore, the scraper assembly with rollers at the bottom runs smoothly on the guide rail, ensuring extremely stable reciprocating motion of the cleaning scraper. This allows for uniform, thorough, and damage-free cleaning of the precision printhead. More importantly, this integrated design of "instant humidification after cleaning" combines two originally independent processes into one, completing them continuously in the same workstation and in a single operation. This greatly simplifies equipment operation, shortens maintenance time, and significantly improves the overall operating efficiency and reliability of inkjet equipment.

[0026] It should be emphasized that the embodiments described in this utility model are illustrative rather than limiting. Therefore, this utility model is not limited to the embodiments described in the specific implementation. Any other implementation methods derived by those skilled in the art based on the technical solutions of this utility model are also within the scope of protection of this utility model.
