A-2. the formation of ink tank:
Fig. 3 shows the profile of the detailed formation of the ink tank 102 being arranged in tank box 100.First, Fig. 3 (a) shows to the state of 10 supply inks in jet printer. As shown in the figure,The inside of ink tank 102 becomes by using 112 left and right, next door to separate and be formed with air chamber 114 and inkTwo chamber, Room structures of chamber 116, described air chamber 114 and ink chamber 116 are by being arranged on the company of belowThrough-flow road 118 is connected.
In the air chamber 114 that the right side in next door 112 in the drawings forms, the side relative with next door 112In wall, be provided with open bore 120, therefore air chamber 114 is in open state. In addition, this is openHole 120 is through film 122 and covers, and sees through film 122 and stops the liquid such as ink to pass through but allow emptyThe gases such as gas pass through.
On the other hand, be formed on the ink chamber 116 in left side in next door 112 open and in closedState, therefore, puts on pressure on the ink surface 116L in ink chamber 116 (lower than atmospherePress) and ink chamber 116 in the superimposed pressure of the pressure (hydraulic pressure) that causes of ink and put on skyPressure on the ink surface 114L of the below (being communicated with the position of the upper end of stream 118) of air chamber 114Power (atmospheric pressure) equilibrium.
In addition, be provided with flow export in the lower end (being communicated with the below of stream 118) of ink chamber's 116 sides128, tube connector 104 is connected with flow export 128. Ink flows out from flow export 128, works as air chamberWhen the ink surface 114L of 114 sides drops to lower than the upper end of connection stream 118, air is from air chamberWhen movement to ink chamber 116 via connection stream 118 in 114, the ink in ink chamber 116Via being communicated with stream 118 to air chamber 114 side shiftings. Consequently, the ink of air chamber 114 sidesAfter rising, surface 114L gets back to original height, and under ink surface 116L in ink chamber 116Fall, thereby air chamber 114 sides are again balanced with the pressure in ink chamber 116 sides.
In the ink tank 102 so forming, utilize the principle of so-called mariotte flask, in ink chamberBefore ink surface 116L in 116 reaches and is down to the position of upper end that is communicated with stream 118, ink withFixing flow flows out from flow export 128. In addition, due to the ink surface 114L of air chamber 114 sidesBe set at than the low position of injector head 22 that is installed on the balladeur train 20 on ink-jet printer 10, because ofThis, can not leak from the nozzle of injector head 22 because the pressure of the ink that extrudes from flow export 128 makes inkLet out, and upwards attract ink by the negative pressure of injector head 22 interior generations.
In addition, there is the part that exceeds one section of formation than air chamber 114 on the top of ink chamber 116,On the sidewall of air chamber 114 sides of this part, for the injection that supplements inks to ink chamber 116Mouth 124 along continuous straight runs openings. In the state shown in Fig. 3 (a), the sealed plug of inlet 124126 sealings. Ink in ink chamber 116 reduces and when ink is supplemented, with inlet124 the supine mode of opening, carries out ink tank 102 along the direction shown in the thick-line arrow in figureFell.
In Fig. 3 (b), show state ink tank 102 being fallen in order to supplement ink. As scheme instituteShow, in order to supplement ink, in the time that the supine mode of the opening with inlet 124 was fallen ink tank, skyThe top of the position of air chamber 114 in ink chamber. Therefore, when taking off sealing-plug 126 and from inletWhen 124 infusing ink, ink is only added ink chamber 116, and ink can not flow into air chamber 114.
In addition, on the sidewall relative with next door 112 of the ink chamber 116 of the present embodiment, erect and be provided withThan being communicated with the top lower limit wall 130 of stream 118. The state being fallen in the ink tank 102 of Fig. 3 (b)In, the height of this lower limit wall 130 is set to the position higher than flow export 128. In ink chamber 116(ink tank 102 is put before interior ink surface 116L arrival lower limit wall 130, to carry out ink replenishingFall) situation under, due to remain in ink conglomerates in ink chamber 116 than lower limit wall 130 by flowingExport the place of 128 sides, therefore, flow export 128 upward can not leave ink surface, thus energyEnough prevent that air enters tube connector 104 in the time supplementing ink.
So, when having carried out using sealing-plug 126 to seal inlet after ink replenishing to ink chamber 116After 124, with on the contrary before, ink tank 102 is erected and recover the state of Fig. 3 (a), therebyCan supply ink to the injector head 22 of balladeur train 20 via tube connector 104.
As mentioned above, in the ink-jet printer 10 of the present embodiment, used cyan, magenta,Yellow and these four kinds of inks of black, therefore arrange above-mentioned ink tank 102 according to ink kind. And,These ink tanks 102 are accommodated in the tank box 100 on the side that is installed on 102 ink-jet printers 10.
A-3. the formation of tank box:

In addition, in the time that variation is described, for above-mentionedThe component part that embodiment is identical, gives the symbol identical with the embodiment illustrating above, and omit rightIts detailed description.
Fig. 7 shows the key diagram of the formation of the tank box 100 of variation. First, at Fig. 7 (a)In illustrated that tank box 100 is installed in the state of ink-jet printer 10. In this state, in distortionExample tank box 100 in, with the above embodiments similarly, the top of the inlet 124 of ink tank 102Also covered by upper surface lid 146, therefore can reduce and accumulate near the dust of inlet 124.
In addition, as shown in Figure 7 (a), in the tank box 100 of variation, at upper surface lid 146On the end of one side of close ink-jet printer 10, be provided with end (the upper surface lid of side towards the oppositeThe end of 146 sides that supported by axle) form the recess 160 of concavity. At the tank box 100 so formingIn, in the time unloading tank box 100 from ink-jet printer 10, first user rides over finger recess 160Upper, as shown in Figure 7 (b) shows, upper surface lid 146 is vertically rotated. Then, by handReferring to that limit rides under the state of recess 160 upwards draws and can mention tank box 100, therefore can remove tank boxBetween 100 hook portion 148 and the clamping part 152 of pedestal 150 engage and can be by tank box 100Unload from ink-jet printer 10. On the other hand, in the time that tank box 100 is installed, by upper surface lid 146Recess 160 is mentioned tank box 100 as handle, makes the position of hook portion 148 and clamping part 152After position alignment, if tank box 100 is placed on ground, hook portion 148 is blocked with clamping part 152Close, make the state of tank box 100 in being mounted.
As mentioned above, in the tank box 100 of variation, by formation being set on upper surface lid 146The recess 160 of handle, upper surface lid 146 not only covers the top of tank box 102, also have as toThe function of handle when ink-jet printer 10 loading pot box 100. Thus, user passes through upper surfaceLid 146 can unload or install tank box 100 by one hand as handle, makes to supplement ink to ink tank 102Operation simpler.
In addition state (the ginseng that, is removed and was fallen with respect to ink-jet printer 10 at tank box 100According to Fig. 6) in, be arranged on recess on upper surface lid 146 and play and make upper surface lid 146 to level sideTo the effect of the counterweight of rotating, upper surface lid 146 is rotated reliably, thereby to inlet 124Approachingly become easy.
Above, various embodiments are described, but have the invention is not restricted to above-mentioned all embodiments,Can implement without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention various distortion.
