Abstract
The invention relates to a method for filling ink into an ink box of an ink jet printer. The ink box is provided with a nozzle communicating the external environment with the internal ink storage cavity of the ink box. The ink filling method comprises the following sequential processing steps: (1) using a hollow ink transfer pipe to connect an ink filling hole of the ink box with an ink outlet of an ink supply container, thus establishing a fluid flow passage between the ink box and the ink supply container; keeping the ink filling hole positioned below the ink box along the gravity direction; keeping the nozzle positioned above the ink box along the gravity direction; and keeping the ink outlet positioned below the ink supply container along the gravity direction; and (2) filling gas into the space above the ink level in the ink supply container until the nozzle is fully filled with the ink. The method is convenient to operate, and can avoid printing white lines caused by gas resistance as a result of no ink in the nozzle.
Description
Technical field
The present invention relates to the ink fill method of ink-jet printer cartridge, particularly be used for replenishing the ink fill method of ink for the built-in print cartridge that ink-jet printer has a nozzle.
Background technology
The inkjet type printer, its printing type normally provides Mo Yuan by the ink tank of print cartridge and so on, via corresponding ink flow duct ink is transported to record head, under the driving of print signal with ink from the nozzle ejection that is provided with on the record head to recording mediums such as paper, finish the record of character or figure.Common commercially available ink-jet printer can be divided into piezoelectric ink jet printer and bubble type ink-jet printer according to its structure of nozzle form.
The piezoelectric ink jet printer is that near the ink flow duct both sides its record head nozzle respectively are provided with one or more piezo-electric crystal.Piezo-electric crystal is subjected to the print signal control by data modulation, produces the contraction or expansion distortion, and the ink in the extruding jet nozzle penetrates the back from nozzle and forms fine liquid drops, splashes down to recording medium for example on the page of paper, forms a measuring point.
The bubble type ink-jet printer, its recording head structure is similar to the piezoelectric ink jet printer.Their difference is that the bubble type ink-jet printer is provided with heating electrode near ink flow duct inwall the record head nozzle or outer wall.The electric impulse signal of data modulation is sent on the heating electrode of nozzle, and heating electrode is rapidly heated, and near the ink of nozzle is vaporized rapidly, forms steam bubble.The pressure that the steam bubble expansion produces makes ink penetrate the back from nozzle and forms fine one by one ink droplet, splashes down to the paper page again.After electric pulse disappeared, the ink in the ink devaporation, nozzle maintained level with neat mouthful of nozzle outer surface by surface tension.Record head extracts the ink flow duct at the ink flow nozzle place in the negative pressure guiding ink storage chamber that forms behind the ink.
