As shown in fig. 10, the switching assembly 8 includes a tee pipe 8a, a first solenoid valve 8b and a second solenoid valve 8 c; the three ports of the three-way pipe 8a are respectively an ink inlet end and a water inlet end for feeding ink and water and a material outlet end butted with the self-cleaning filtering device, the first electromagnetic valve 8b and the second electromagnetic valve 8c are respectively arranged on the ink inlet end and the water inlet end of the three-way pipe 8a, and the first electromagnetic valve 8b and the second electromagnetic valve 8c are respectively used for controlling the connection and disconnection of the ink inlet end and the water inlet end of the three-way pipe 8 a.
The first electromagnetic valve 8b and the second electromagnetic valve 8c are both electric butterfly valves electrically connected with the controller. The ink inlet end of the three-way pipe 8a is connected with the ink box, and the water inlet end of the three-way pipe 8a is connected with the water supply pipeline or the cleaning liquid supply pipeline. When the controller closes the second electromagnetic valve 8c and opens the first electromagnetic valve 8b, the self-cleaning filter apparatus is in the ink supply mode, and ink is supplied to the nozzle body 1 through the flexible connecting tube 2. When the controller opens the second solenoid valve 8c and closes the first solenoid valve 8b, the self-cleaning filtering device is switched to the cleaning mode.
The working principle of the invention is as follows:
the device realizes the functions of the invention through the following steps, thereby solving the technical problems provided by the invention:
firstly, before work, a worker firstly installs the whole nozzle on a main body of an ink-jet printer, installs a nozzle body 1 on a mobile device, fixes a self-cleaning filtering device with a rack, communicates the discharge end of the self-cleaning filtering device with the nozzle body 1 through a flexible connecting pipe 2, and connects the self-cleaning filtering device with an ink box.
And step two, when the ink box works, ink is led into the pipe fitting 4 by the ink box, and the ink passes through the filter element 5 when passing through the joint of the main pipeline and the branch pipeline of the pipe fitting 4. The filter element 5 filters the ink passing through, and impurities generated after the filtering are left at the upper end of the filter element 5 or inside the filter element 5.
And step three, ink entering the lower end of the main pipeline of the pipe fitting 4 through the filter element 5 enters the nozzle body 1 through the flexible connecting pipe 2 and is sprayed out, so that the printing function is realized. Thereby make a plurality of work units establish ties each other through connecting piece 3 and realize multistage filtration, further improve the filter effect.
And step four, when the nozzle is used for a long time, the self-cleaning filtering device needs to be controlled to carry out self-cleaning. The operator disconnects the feed end of the self-cleaning filter device, i.e. the feed end of the main line of the first tube 4, from the cartridge, and butts it against the water supply line.
And step five, the controller firstly sends a signal to the dredging device 6, the working end of the dredging device 6 penetrates through the filter element 5 from bottom to top after receiving the signal, so that impurities blocked in the filter element 5 are discharged from the upper end of the filter element 5, and the working end of the dredging device 6 plays a role in sealing the filter element 5.
And step six, the controller sends a signal to the discharging device 7, and the discharging device 7 opens the upper end of the branch pipeline of the pipe fitting 4 after receiving the signal.
And seventhly, the controller introduces water or cleaning liquid into the pipe fitting 4 from the feed end of the main pipeline of the pipe fitting 4 by opening an external water supply pipeline, the water or the cleaning liquid can only be discharged from the upper end of the branch pipeline of the pipe fitting 4, namely the end where the discharging device 7 is located, and the water or the cleaning liquid brings impurities out of the pipe fitting 4 together due to the fact that the filter element 5 is closed, so that the inside of the pipe fitting 4 is cleaned. When a plurality of working units are adopted, the cleaning is carried out sequentially from top to bottom.
The foregoing shows and describes the general principles, essential features, and advantages of the invention. It will be understood by those skilled in the art that the present invention is not limited to the embodiments described above, which are merely illustrative of the principles of the invention, but that various changes and modifications may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention, which fall within the scope of the invention as claimed. The scope of the invention is defined by the appended claims and equivalents thereof.
