下面结合附图对本发明实施例所述装置进行详细描述。
参见图 1 , 为本发明实施例有 4个墨盒喷墨印刷机清洗压力控制的装置 的结构图， 本实施例中电磁阀使用的是两位三通电磁阀， 压力检测装置为压 力传感器。 本实施例所述装置包括墨盒 1 , 2, 3 , 4; 两位三通电磁阀 5 , 6, 7 , 8, 9; 压力传感器 10; 负压气路端口 11 ; 大气端口 12; 正压气路端口 13。 其中墨盒 1、 2、 3、 4与对应的两位三通电磁阀 5、 6、 7、 8组成了四条控制 支路； 四条控制支路并联后与两位三通电磁阀 9, 压力传感器 10、 负压气路 端口 11、 大气端口 12、 正压气路端口 13组成了控制主路。 具体连接如下： 墨盒 1、 2、 3、 4的气路口各连接一个两位三通电磁阀 5、 6、 7、 8的公 共端口 501、 601、 701、 801。 两位三通电磁阀 5、 6、 7、 8的常开端口 502、 602、 702、 802连接负压气路端口 11。 两位三通电磁阀 5、 6、 7、 8的常闭端 口 503、 603、 703、 803连接两位三通电磁阀 9的公共端口 901。 两位三通电 磁阀 9的常开端口 902连接大气端口 12。 两位三通电磁阀 9的常闭端口 903 连接正压气路端口 13。 两位三通电磁阀 9的公共端口 901连接一个压力传感 器 10用于检测压力大小。
图 2为本实施例清洗单个墨盒对应的喷头的喷嘴的控制流程图， 以需要 清洗墨盒 1对应的喷头为例， 本实施例的具体工作步骤如下：
步骤 201 , 清洗开始时， 对控制主路上的两位三通电磁阀 9通电， 使得 两位三通电磁阀 9的公共端口 901与常闭端口 903连通。
步骤 202 , 对控制支路上的两位三通电磁阀 5通电， 使得两位三通电磁 阀 5的公共端口 501与常闭端口 503连通。正压从正压气路端口 13经两位三 通电磁阀 9、 5进入墨盒 1中。 清洗过程中， 墨盒 1内气压为正压， 墨水从墨 盒 1中被挤压出去， 清洗相连的喷头的喷嘴。 墨盒 2、 3、 4仍然与负压气路 端口 11相连， 不会被正压气路影响。

步骤 204, 预先设定一个时间， 当清洗时间达到所设定的时间后， 执行 步骤 205; 当清洗时间还未达到所设定的时间， 则继续执行步骤 203 , 继续判 断清洗气路内的压力是否正常， 继续在压力正常的条件下清洗喷头喷嘴， 直 至达到设定的时间。
步骤 205 , 清洗结束过程中， 首先对控制主路上的两位三通电磁阀 9断 电， 使得两位三通电磁阀 9的公共端口 901与常开端口 902连接。 墨盒 1内 残余的正压经过两位三通电磁阀 5、 9排放到大气中去。
步骤 206,控制主路上的压力传感器 10检测清洗气路内的压力， 当检测 到正压小于下限值时， 认为清洗气路内的正压完全消失时， 对控制支路上的 两位三通电磁阀 5断电。
步骤 207 , 控制支路上的两位三通电磁阀 5断电后， 使得墨盒 1经过两 位三通电磁阀 5连接负压气路端口 11。 在两位三通电磁阀 5断电前， 墨盒 1 内为正常大气压， 当在两位三通电磁阀 5断电后， 墨盒 1内的正常大气压对 负压气路端口 11有一定的影响， 但是这个影响在***可以接受的范围内。
本实施例中对 1、 2、 3集体清洗时， 首先给控制主路上的两位三通电磁 阀 9通电， 然后给所需清洗的喷头对应控制支路上的两位三通电磁阀 5、 6、 7通电， 正压从正压气路端口 13经两位三通电磁阀 9、 5进入墨盒 1 ; 经两位 三通电磁阀 9、 6进入墨盒 2; 经两位三通电磁阀 9、 7进入墨盒 3中。 清洗 过程中， 墨盒 1、 2、 3内气压为正压， 墨水从墨盒 1、 2、 3中被挤压出去， 清洗与墨盒 1、 2、 3相连的喷头的喷嘴。墨盒 4仍然与负压气路端口 11相连， 不会被正压气路影响。 此时清洗压力保持一个定值， 当清洗时间达到设定值 后， 清洗结束， 进入清洗结束阶段。 同样当控制主路上的压力传感器 10检测 到的清洗气路内的压力大于上限制时， 则清洗过程出现故障， 直接进入清洗 结束阶段。 进入清洗结束阶段后， 首先关闭控制主路上的两位三通电磁阀 9, 墨盒 1内残余的正压经过两位三通电磁阀 5、 9排放到大气中去； 墨盒 2内残 余的正压经过两位三通电磁阀 6、 9排放到大气中去； 墨盒 3内残余的正压经 过两位三通电磁阀 7、 9排放到大气中去。 当压力传感器 10检测到正压小于 下限值时，认为清洗气路内的正压完全消失时，对应的两位三通电磁阀 5、 6、 7断电， 使得墨盒 1、 2、 3经过两位三通电磁阀 5、 6、 7连接到负气压路端 口 11。
本实施例提供的喷墨印刷机清洗压力控制的装置可以对单个墨盒对应 的喷头的喷嘴进行独立清洗， 同时也可以对多个墨盒对应的喷头的喷嘴进行 集体清洗。 在对单个喷嘴进行清洗的过程中， 该装置只需要对本实施例中的 两个两位三通电磁阀进行控制， 大大降低了控制的复杂性。 由于在清洗过程 中， 不需要清洗的喷嘴对应的墨盒仍然连接负压气路端口， 不会导致墨水自 行从墨盒内流出， 造成损失， 因此提高了装置的可靠性。 由于压力传感器始 终检测清洗气路内的正气压值， 并且控制主路上的两位三通电磁阀在断电状 态下常开端口连接大气端口， 装置的安全性也得到了有效的保证。
本发明实施例中电磁阀使用的是两位三通电磁阀， 但不仅仅限于此类型 的电磁阀， 其他类型的多位多通电磁阀， 例如两位四通电磁阀、 两位五通电 磁阀、 三位五通电磁阀等也可以用于本发明实施例中。 上述实施例描述了有 4个墨盒的喷墨印刷机清洗压力的控制方法， 该方 法同样适用于包含任意多个墨盒的喷墨印刷机清洗压力的控制。
综上所述， 本发明实施例提供一种喷墨印刷机气路控制的装置， 包括若 干墨盒， 若干电磁阀， 负气压路端口， 正气压路端口， 大气端口； 所述每个 墨盒的气路口连接一个电磁阀的第一个端口； 所述每个电磁阀的第二个端口 并联后连接到负气压路端口上， 第三个端口并联后连接到另外一个与正气压 连接的电磁阀上的第一端口； 所述另外一个与正气压连接的电磁阀的第二个 端口连接到正气压路端口， 第三个端口连接到大气端口。 这样只需要根据两 个电磁阀的工作状态切换墨盒的气路口连接的气路端口， 在对单个喷头的喷 嘴进行独立清洗时， 只需控制两个电磁阀， 降低对喷墨印刷机清洗压力控制 的复杂性。 由于在清洗过程中， 不需要清洗的喷嘴对应的墨盒仍然连接负压 气路端口， 不会导致墨水自行从墨盒内流出， 造成损失， 因此提高了装置的 可靠性。 由于压力传感器始终检测清洗气路内的正气压值， 装置的安全性也 得到了有效的保证。
虽然通过实施例描绘了本发明， 但本领域普通技术人员知道， 在不脱离 本发明的精神和实质的情况下， 就可使本发明有许多变形和变化， 本发明的 范围由所附的权利要求来限定。
