Abstract

The invention provides a fission ink box with a light inlet window, aiming at providing a fission ink box which has simple structure and low production cost, leads the color of the ink to be not easy to change when the ink box is radiated by sunlight and is provided with the light inlet window. The fission ink box comprises an opening container used for storing ink; a container corresponding to the probe of a printer ink quantity detection sensor is internally provided with a reflecting device; the bottom at the left lower corner of the container is provided with an ink outlet; the surface of the opening of the container is sealed by a transparent sealing film; the fission ink box is characterized in that the external surface of the sealing film is provided with a box cover which transmits no light basically or transmits no light; the box cover covers the opening container; the box cover beside the reflecting device is provided with a hollow light inlet window. The box cover which basically transmits no light or transmits no light can effectively shield the radiation of the light rays on the ink, and avoid the color-changing of the ink; for the light rays used for the reflecting device, the light can completely pass through the hollow light inlet window and the transparent sealing film, thus providing illumination for the reflecting surface and providing indications for the probe of the printer ink quantity detection sensor.

Description

The split print cartridge of band light inlet window

Technical field

The present invention relates to be installed in the print cartridge on the ink-jet printer, relate in particular to a kind of split print cartridge with light inlet window.

Background technology

The ink-jet printer of Chu Xianing in the market, in printing, in order to indicate the ink of ink storage container to use up to the user, often on the bottom of print cartridge, be shaped on or be equipped with leg-of-mutton optically focused piece, play the effect of prism, below print cartridge optically focused piece is installed, ink is housed on the printer and pops one's head in quantity detection sensor.When the ink in the print cartridge uses up, the optically focused piece exposes the ink face, shone by light, the light that the optically focused piece is come irradiation is concentrated and is reflexed to ink and pop one's head in quantity detection sensor, give the ink quantity detection sensor probe signal of printer, printer provides the prompting that ink uses up in time, the new print cartridge of reminding user to replace.The material light transmission of this structural requirement manufacturing print cartridge is fine.Can owing to ink under the irradiation of long-term light, can make the ink variable color, influence print quality.In addition, used print cartridge is all-in-one-piece mostly, chip with cartridge body built in, chip is also just discarded together with cartridge body after the ink in the cartridge body uses up, comparatively waste.

Summary of the invention

The present invention provides a kind of simple in structure, and low cost of manufacture can make the split print cartridge of print cartridge not allochroic band light inlet window of ink under illumination.

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention is achieved by the following technical solutions: it comprises the open containers of storage ink, facing to the probe of printer ink water consumption detecting sensor be provided with reflex reflector in the container to the position, bottom in the container lower left corner is shaped on ink outlet port, envelope has transparent diaphragm seal on the surface of vessel port, it is characterized in that light tight substantially or lighttight lid being installed at the outer surface of diaphragm seal, cover the container of opening, on the lid on reflex reflector limit, have the light inlet window of hollow out.

Be equipped with on the lid and the corresponding chip of printer chip contact.

The split print cartridge of the band light inlet window of making according to such scheme, it can shut out the light to the irradiation of ink effectively with light tight substantially or lighttight lid, avoid the ink variable color, the light of using for reflex reflector, can make the light inlet window of light transmission hollow out and transparent diaphragm seal provide illumination fully, indication is provided for the probe of printer ink water consumption detecting sensor for reflective surface.After the ink in the container used up, as long as replace with the container of ink, lid on it and chip can also continue to use, and it is simple in structure, and manufacturing cost and use cost is low, guarantees the quality of marking ink.

The specific embodiment

The invention will be further described below in conjunction with drawings and Examples.

It comprises the open containers 1 of storage ink the split print cartridge of band light inlet window, in container 1, be provided with swinging axle 2 as shown in Figure 1, on the swinging axle 2 reflex reflector is housed, described reflex reflector is by swing arm 3, swing arm 3 is installed on the swinging axle 2, around swinging axle 2 swings, be shaped on float 4 in the swing arm 3 as shown in Figure 2, float 4 is with what and lifting of quantity of ink, on float 4, be provided with reflective surface 5 towards container interior bottom surface, when ink uses soon, reflective surface 5 faces the probe of printer ink water consumption detecting sensor, probe partly is shaped on pit 6 to container 1 outer bottom, make material attenuate in pit 6 positions, to improve light transmission, the bottom in container 1 lower left corner is shaped on ink outlet port 7, be placed with sponge 8 in the cavity volume above ink outlet port 7, envelope has transparent diaphragm seal 9 as shown in Figure 3 on the surface of container 1 opening, the outer surface of diaphragm seal 8 be equipped with cover opening lid 10 as Fig. 4, shown in Figure 5, at least have the light inlet window 11 of hollow out on the lid 10 of reflective surface 5 float area positions, the material of lid 10 is made with light tight substantially or lighttight coloured plastics material.Be equipped with on the lid 10 and the corresponding chip 12 of printer chip contact, thereby the split print cartridge of forming the band light inlet window is shown in Figure 6.When the ink in the container 1 uses up, have only ink seldom between reflective surface 5 and container 1 bottom or do not have, the reflective pit 6 that passes of reflective surface 5 provides the information of no ink to probe.

Certainly, the reflex reflector of being adorned on the open containers 1 for storage ink also can be used in facing to printer ink water consumption detecting sensor probe institute being shaped on optically focused piece 13 as shown in Figure 7 on container 1 basal surface position, when the ink in the container 1 uses up, optically focused piece 13 exposes the ink face, shone by light, the light that optically focused piece 13 is come irradiation is given probe, to provide reflective, all the other structures and above-mentioned constant no longer repeat.
