Next, the effect of compounding machine 11 (particularly waste liquid packaging container 31 and waste liquid packaging container installation portion 32) is described.
First, when changing waste liquid packaging container 31, the back side cover 35 being arranged at the rear side of compounding machine 11 is opened by user.Now, although preferably make recording processing stop in advance, even if when recording processing is not stopped, if detecting sensor 46 detects that back side cover 35 is in open mode, then control device 45 makes the driving of recording unit 12 and conveying device 40 stop.
And then, if back side cover 35 is in open mode, then because the handle part 38 of the waste liquid packaging container 31 being installed on waste liquid packaging container installation portion 32 exposes, therefore user holds this handle part 38 making palm under the state of horizontal direction (in present embodiment for left).And then, after the waste liquid packaging container 31 of finishing using is extracted to the rear becoming removing direction by installing port 37 by user, hold the handle part 38 of untapped waste liquid packaging container 31 in the same manner, and by inserting from installing port 37 along direction of insertion Y and being installed on waste liquid packaging container installation portion 32.
In addition, if back side cover 35 is closed after installation waste liquid packaging container 31, then because the handle part 38 of waste liquid packaging container 31 is covered by back side cover 35, come off therefore, it is possible to incident when suppressing to install.And, if because waste liquid packaging container 31 is not reliably inserted, then back side cover 35 is not closed, and is therefore in closed condition by making the back side cover 35, even if under detecting sensor 46 does not carry out the power off state of action, also can confirm that waste liquid packaging container 31 is by the situation of reliably installing.
On the other hand, the part due to waste liquid packaging container 31 and installing port 37 is not covered 35 by the back side and is covered and expose, and therefore user can the position of easily visual confirmation waste liquid packaging container 31 and installing port 37.Further, because back side cover 35 is overall without the need to the opening covering installing port 37, therefore, it is possible to suppress to maximize.
And, when waste liquid packaging container 31 is inserted in waste liquid packaging container installation portion 32, as shown in double dot dash line in Fig. 8, the holding section 68 being arranged at waste liquid packaging container 31 engages in the mode of sliding on direction of insertion Y with the lower surface of the guide portion 52 of waste liquid packaging container installation portion 32.So between the bottom surface sections 49 that holding section 68 is configured at waste liquid packaging container installation portion 32 and guide portion 52, waste liquid packaging container 31 inserts along direction of insertion Y under the state completing the location on above-below direction Z thus.Therefore, bottom surface sections 49 plays function as the limiting unit limiting movement in downward direction.And then waste liquid packaging container 31 arrives the inner side of waste liquid packaging container installation portion 32, and abutting part 67a abuts with front side wall 51, carry out the location on direction of insertion Y thus.In addition, in fig. 8, in order to be clearly shown that the structure of waste liquid packaging container installation portion 32 and omit the diagram of waste liquid introduction part 33.
In addition, before waste liquid packaging container 31 inserts, be in the first side 66b and the top 66a that cross locator protrusions 66 in Fig. 9 with the bend 54b of the leaf spring 54 of the position shown in double dot dash line along with the insertion of waste liquid packaging container 31, engage with the second side 66c as indicated by the solid line in fig. 9 afterwards.
Thus, for waste liquid packaging container 31, limit its movement to removing direction (rear), and to its left side wall 50L side force being provided with device side splicing ear 53 to waste liquid packaging container installation portion 32.Now, the locator protrusions 66 of waste liquid packaging container 31 is subject to the active force of leaf spring 54 from the first wall portion 76 side direction second wall portion 77 side.In addition, because reinforcement flange 80 is to become position corresponding with locator protrusions 66 left surface of the inner surface of the first wall portion 76 projecting to the second wall portion 77 side, even if therefore when locator protrusions 66 is subject to the active force of leaf spring 54, the distortion of the first wall portion 76 also can be suppressed.In addition, in fig .9, in order to be clearly shown that the position of reinforcement flange 80, and omit the diagram of waste liquid introduction part 33 and waste liquid packaging container cover 64, and illustrate absorption piece 70 with dotted line.
And then, because storage body side connecting terminal 69 is configured to arrange along main scanning direction X (width) with locator protrusions 66 on waste liquid packaging container 31, if therefore the installing of waste liquid packaging container 31, then contact with device side splicing ear 53 under the storage body side connecting terminal 69 being arranged at the outer surface of the second wall portion 77 state after positioning.And then, be connected aptly with device side splicing ear 53 in like fashion by storage body side connecting terminal 69, thus can the circuit substrate of waste liquid packaging container 31 side and transmission and reception between control device 45 and useless black relevant various information (such as, starting the information that day, clean execution number of times, useless black discharge rate aggregate-value etc. are relevant to the use of waste ink tank 27).
Further, along with waste liquid packaging container 31 is to the insertion of waste liquid packaging container installation portion 32, waste liquid introduction part 33 is connected with the waste liquid packaging container cover 64 of waste liquid packaging container 31 as shown in Figure 10.Thus, as shown in figure 11, the top plate portion 56 of waste liquid introduction part 33 coordinates with waste liquid packaging container cover 64 and the housing recess 62 of waste liquid packaging container 31 is covered, and surrounds thus and forms waste liquid receiving room 63, and form the part in the ceiling portion of waste liquid receiving room 63.
And then, when waste liquid introduction part 33 is connected with waste liquid packaging container 31, lower end due to circular protrusion 58 is configured between waste liquid packaging container cover 64 and absorption piece 70 on above-below direction Z, and therefore dynamic from the downstream opening 57a in ingress pipe portion 57 along circular protrusion 58 effluent waste liquid promptly can be absorbed by absorption piece 70.
Further, when installing waste liquid packaging container 31, the ingress pipe portion 57 of waste liquid introduction part 33 is configured at the immediate vicinity in vertical hole 71 when top view as shown in figure 12.Therefore, if waste liquid is directed in waste liquid receiving room 63 via ingress pipe portion 57, then the waste liquid imported flow in cross-drilled hole 72 via vertical hole 71.So owing to be ensure that the larger contact area of waste liquid and absorption piece 70 by vertical hole 71 and cross-drilled hole 72, therefore waste liquid is promptly absorbed by absorption piece 70.
And then, in the waste liquid imported, although the solute component such as pigment produces deposit because of dry solidification sometimes, be ensure that the broader accommodation space of deposit by the cross-drilled hole 72 be communicated with vertical hole 71.Further, by making the waste liquid of importing flow in cross-drilled hole 72 the larger contact area guaranteed with the absorption piece 70 be configured at bottom it, therefore waste liquid is promptly absorbed by absorption piece 70 before curing.
According to above-mentioned embodiment, following such effect can be obtained.
(1) because the downstream opening 57a in ingress pipe portion 57 is surrounded by circular protrusion 58 projecting downward, even if therefore when the waste liquid importing to waste liquid packaging container 31 from the downstream opening 57a in ingress pipe portion 57 is along the lower face side flowing of top plate portion 56, this scope is also limited in the scope of being surrounded by circular protrusion 58.Therefore, it is possible to suppress to import to spilling of the waste liquid of waste liquid packaging container 31.
(2) because fitting portion 59 is by chimeric with the notch 65 of waste liquid packaging container cover 64 and be connected with waste liquid packaging container 31, therefore, it is possible to eliminate the gap produced between waste liquid packaging container cover 64 and waste liquid introduction part 33, thus spilling of waste liquid can be suppressed.Further, because waste liquid introduction part 33 is connected with waste liquid packaging container 31 along with the insertion of waste liquid packaging container 31, thus without the need to carrying out the operation connecting waste liquid introduction part 33 in addition.Therefore, it is possible to make the dismounting operation of waste liquid packaging container 31 simplify.
(3) because fitting portion 59 is projecting upward from top plate portion 56, therefore chimeric with fitting portion 59 waste liquid packaging container cover 64 becomes and is configured in the form more closer to the top than circular protrusion 58.Therefore, it is possible to suppress the waste liquid of discharging from the downstream opening 57a in ingress pipe portion 57 to move along fitting portion 59 to waste liquid packaging container cover 64 effluent.
(4) because the lower end of circular protrusion 58 is configured between waste liquid packaging container cover 64 and absorption piece 70 on above-below direction Z, therefore, it is possible to utilize absorption piece 70 promptly to be absorbed by the waste liquid that the downstream opening 57a from ingress pipe portion 57 flows along circular protrusion 58.
(5) when waste liquid outwards flows out from the region surrounded by circular protrusion 58 on top plate portion 56, the jut 56a (56b) extending into band shape can be utilized to stop the waste liquid that the lower surface along top plate portion 56 flows.Therefore, flow out along top plate portion 56 to the sidewall of waste liquid packaging container 31 due to waste liquid can be suppressed, therefore such as the storage body side connecting terminal 69 of the circuit substrate arranged on the wall of the sidewall of waste liquid packaging container 31 that is the left side wall of waste liquid incorporating section 60, the electrical connection with device side splicing ear 53 can be carried out aptly.
