이러한 잉크젯 프린터가 좋은 인쇄품질을 유지하기 위해서는 잉크젯 프린터의 헤드가 항상 최적의 상태를 유지하여야 한다. 즉, 헤드의 노즐부에 잔존하는 잉크가 잉크의 정상적인 분사를 방해하여 액적이 발생하거나, 노즐이 막히는 등의 문제가 발생할 수 있다.In order for such an inkjet printer to maintain a good print quality, the head of the inkjet printer must always maintain an optimal state. That is, the ink remaining in the nozzle portion of the head may interfere with the normal injection of the ink, causing droplets or clogging of the nozzles.

이러한 잉크젯 프린터의 헤드 청소를 위하여 다양한 방법이 제시되었으며, 한국공개특허 제10-2011-0091274호와 같이 헤드를 향해 압축공기를 분사하는 방식이 제안된 바 있다. 그러나, 이러한 방식은 떨어진 잉크를 빠르게 제거하기 곤란하다. 따라서, 잉크가 주위로 비산되지 않도록 별도의 비산방지기구가 있어야 하며, 이 경우 장치가 복잡해지는 문제점이 있다.
Various methods have been proposed for cleaning the head of such an ink jet printer, and a method of jetting compressed air toward the head as disclosed in Korean Patent Laid-Open No. 10-2011-0091274 has been proposed. However, this method is difficult to remove the ink that has been dropped quickly. Therefore, a separate scattering prevention mechanism must be provided so that the ink is not scattered to the periphery, and in this case, the apparatus becomes complicated.

In the drawings, the same reference numerals are used to designate the same or similar components, and the same reference numerals will be used to designate the same or similar components. Detailed descriptions of known functions and configurations are omitted.

본 발명의 실시예에 따른 헤드청소장치(100)는 크게, 헤드(12)의 하부에 배치되는 케이싱(102)과, 상기 케이싱(102)의 상부 일측에 배치돼서 상기 헤드(12)를 향해 압축공기를 분사하는 분사부와, 및 상기 케이싱(102)의 상부 타측에 배치돼서 상기 헤드(12)에 대해 부압흡입하는 흡입부를 포함하여 이루어진다.Head cleaning apparatus 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention is largely disposed on the casing 102 and the upper side of the casing 102, the lower portion of the head 12 is compressed toward the head 12 It includes an injection unit for injecting air, and an inlet unit disposed on the other side of the upper portion of the casing 102, the negative pressure suction to the head (12).

이 때, 상기 케이싱(102)과 상기 헤드(12) 중 어느 하나 이상은 이동가능하여야 한다.At this time, at least one of the casing 102 and the head 12 should be movable.

상기 헤드(12)는 헤드부(10)의 하부에 설치되는 것으로, 상기 헤드부(10)의 움직임에 의해 이동할 수 있다. 또, 라벨프린터와 같이 헤드부(10)가 고정된 형식의 프린터의 경우에는 상기 케이싱(102)의 이동을 통해 상기 헤드(12)를 청소하도록 하는 것이 바람직하다.The head 12 is installed below the head portion 10, and may move by the movement of the head portion 10. In addition, in the case of a printer in which the head portion 10 is fixed, such as a label printer, the head 12 may be cleaned by moving the casing 102.

상기 분사부와 상기 흡입부는 상기 헤드(12)를 향하여 압축공기를 분사함과 동시에 반대로 흡입함으로써, 상기 헤드(12)에 부착된 잉크를 낙하하여 바로 수집하도록 한다.The injection unit and the suction unit spray the compressed air toward the head 12 and at the same time suction the opposite, thereby dropping the ink attached to the head 12 to collect immediately.

이를 위해, 상기 케이싱(102)에는 압축공기를 공급하는 압축공기공급장치(124)가 연결되며, 본 발명의 헤드청소장치(100)는 이 하나의 압축공기공급장치(124)에 의해 정압과 부압을 동시에 상기 분사부 및 흡입부에 공급할 수 있다.To this end, the casing 102 is connected to a compressed air supply device 124 for supplying compressed air, the head cleaning device 100 of the present invention is positive and negative pressure by this one of the compressed air supply device 124 Can be supplied to the injection unit and the suction unit at the same time.

상기 압축공기공급장치(124)는 흡기필터(126)와 연결되어 공기 중 포함된 이물질을 제거한다.The compressed air supply device 124 is connected to the intake filter 126 to remove the foreign matter contained in the air.

상기 압축공기공급장치(124)는 상기 케이싱(102) 내부의 압축공기공급관(104)과 연결된다.The compressed air supply device 124 is connected to the compressed air supply pipe 104 inside the casing 102.

상기 압축공기공급관(104)은 상기 압축공기공급관(104)에 비해 단면적이 확대되는 확대관(108)에 연결된다. 따라서, 상기 압축공기공급관(104)으로부터 상기 확대관(108)으로 압축공기가 이동하면서 압력이 저하하게 된다. 그리고, 상기 분사부는 상기 압축공기공급관(104)과 연결되고, 상기 흡입부는 상기 확대관(108)에 연결된다.The compressed air supply pipe 104 is connected to an enlarged pipe 108 having a larger cross-sectional area than the compressed air supply pipe 104. Therefore, the pressure decreases while the compressed air moves from the compressed air supply pipe 104 to the expansion pipe 108. The injection unit is connected to the compressed air supply pipe 104 and the suction unit is connected to the expansion pipe 108.

이 결과, 상기 분사부에는 고압이 걸리고, 상기 분사부는 확대관(108)의 감압으로 인하여 부압이 걸리게 된다.As a result, high pressure is applied to the injection unit, and negative pressure is applied to the injection unit due to the reduced pressure of the expansion tube 108.

상기 분사부는 상기 헤드(12)의 폭방향으로 길게 형성되는 분사슬롯(114)과, 상기 분사슬롯(114)에 공기를 균일하게 공급하는 분사챔버(112)와, 상기 분사챔버(112)와 연결되는 분사관(110)을 포함한다. 상기 분사관(110)은 상기 압축공기공급관(104)의 지관인 압축공기분기관(106)과 연결되며, 상기 분사관(110)과 상기 압축공기분기관(106) 사이에는 조절밸브(122)가 설치되어, 분기되는 압축공기의 유량을 결정한다.The injection unit is connected to the injection chamber 112 and the injection chamber 112 for uniformly supplying air to the injection slot 114, the injection slot 114 is formed long in the width direction of the head 12 It includes a spray pipe 110. The injection pipe 110 is connected to the compressed air branch pipe 106 which is a branch of the compressed air supply pipe 104, and a control valve 122 between the injection pipe 110 and the compressed air branch pipe 106. Is installed to determine the flow rate of the branched compressed air.

상기 흡입부는 상기 헤드(12)의 폭방향으로 길게 형성되는 흡입슬롯(120)과, 상기 흡입슬롯(120)에 부압을 균일하게 공급하는 흡입챔버(118)와, 상기 흡입챔버(118)와 연결되는 흡입관(116)을 포함한다. 상기 흡입관(116)은 상기 확대관(108)에 연결되며, 상기 흡입관(116)의 단면적은 상기 확대관(108)의 단면적보다 작다. The suction part is connected to the suction chamber 120 and the suction chamber 118 to uniformly supply negative pressure to the suction slot 120, the suction slot 120 is formed long in the width direction of the head (12) Suction tube 116 to be included. The suction pipe 116 is connected to the enlarged pipe 108, the cross-sectional area of the suction pipe 116 is smaller than the cross-sectional area of the enlarged pipe (108).

특히, 상기 분사슬롯(114)과 상기 흡입슬롯(120)은 서로 마주보는 방향으로 경사지게 배치되는 것이 바람직하다. 즉, 상기 분사슬롯(114)에 의해 상기 흡입슬롯(120)의 방향으로 잉크를 낙하시키고, 또 상기 흡입슬롯(120)은 상기 분사슬롯(114)을 향하는 것에 의해 상기 분사슬롯(114)에 의해 낙하하는 잉크의 수집이 용이해질 수 있다.In particular, the injection slot 114 and the suction slot 120 is preferably inclined in a direction facing each other. That is, the ink is dropped in the direction of the suction slot 120 by the injection slot 114, and the suction slot 120 is directed to the injection slot 114 by the injection slot 114. Collection of falling ink can be facilitated.

그리고, 상기 확대관(108)의 단부는 잉크분리기(128)에 연결돼서, 상기 헤드(12)로부터 수집된 잉크와 기체를 분리하는 역할을 한다. 그리고, 상기 잉크분리기(128)에는 배기필터(130)가 연결되어, 배출되는 공기에서 불순물을 제거하여 작업자에게 해로운 성분을 배출하지 않도록 한다.And, the end of the expansion tube 108 is connected to the ink separator 128, and serves to separate the ink and gas collected from the head 12. In addition, an exhaust filter 130 is connected to the ink separator 128 to remove impurities from the discharged air so as not to discharge harmful components to the operator.

따라서, 상기 확대관(108)의 단부는 상기 잉크분리기(128) 및 상기 배기필터(130)를 통해 외기와 연통된다.Therefore, an end portion of the enlarged pipe 108 communicates with the outside air through the ink separator 128 and the exhaust filter 130.

상기와 같이, 본 발명의 바람직한 실시예를 참조하여 설명하였지만 해당 기술 분야의 숙련된 당업자라면 하기의 특허청구범위에 기재된 본 발명의 사상 및 영역으로부터 벗어나지 않는 범위 내에서 본 발명을 다양하게 수정 및 변경시킬 수 있음을 이해할 수 있을 것이다.
