In second embodiment of the present invention, an ink cartridge is used for monochrome ink.The print cartridge size of the comparable colored ink of size of print cartridge 5100 that monochromatic or China ink is striven printing ink is little, but the volume of the corresponding black chamber of every kind of color of volumetric ratio of the ink chamber 5112 of black oil print cartridge is big.According to the second embodiment of the present invention, in the print cartridge 5100 of black ink shown in Figure 5, form dividing plate 5117, dividing plate 5117 extends between the sidewall 5100a of intermediate membrane 5110 that separates foamed material chamber 5111 and ink chamber 5112 and box 5100, thereby ink chamber is divided into two cell 5112a and 5112b.This structure can prevent print cartridge 5100 distortion that causes and distortion that is in use caused by external pressure by the negative pressure that is produced that will describe below in the process of charge of oil China ink operation, thereby prevents that printing ink from leaking.Cell 5112a and 5112b keep fluid to be communicated with through intercommunicating pore 5119 on intermediate membrane 5110 and foamed material chamber, and 5119 of intercommunicating pores extend one section height on intermediate membrane 5110.In addition, form an intercommunicating pore in the bottom of dividing plate 5117.
When installing to print cartridge on the travelling carriage, be easy on the inner surface of descried wall 5100a, many ribs 5118 that extend along inner surface are being arranged.These ribs can make printing ink be easy to flow downward along wall 5100a, and by checking liquid level, the user is easy to judge the amount of staying the printing ink in the print cartridge.
Referring now to Fig. 6 (a) and 6 (b),, the lid 516 that their expressions constitute according to first additional embodiment of the present invention.Lid 516 corresponding to the porous member box 501 in 520,520 ' and 520 " the position form charge of oil China ink hole 514,514 ' and 514 " and 515,515 ' with 515 ".Openings 541,541 ' and 541 " respectively through groove 540,540 ' with 540 " with charge of oil China ink hole 514,514 ' and 514 " be communicated with.
When handle is used to cover charge of oil China ink hole 514,514 ' and 514 " and 515; 515 ' and 515 " and gas vents 541,541 ' and 541 " closure plate 542 when being fixedly installed on the upper side edge of lid shown in Figure 6 516; in foamed material chamber 511; 511 ' and 511 " after being loaded, groove 540,540 ' and 540 " form elongated pipe with closure plate 542.The tongue-like pieces 545 of closure plate 542 is stretched out from covering 516, and tongue-like pieces 545 has a pre-portion 543, it be positioned at gas vent 541,541 ' and 541 " the mid point of route.When tongue-like pieces 545 from covering 516 when deviating from, tongue-like pieces 545 is easy to separate with closure plate 542.This can expose gas vent 541 in turn, but the other parts of the lower side of closure plate 542 are not exposed.
In a preferred embodiment, the permanent closure groove 540,540 of closure member 542 ' and 540 " that major part 544 on print the pattern of for example forming by letter and figure.That is printed on impressing pattern, color or other printing on the tongue-like pieces 545 and major part 544 in closure plate 542 is different, and tongue-like pieces 545 links to each other with major part 544 by neck 543.
For example, In yet another embodiment, the background color of the major part 544 of closure plate 542 is blue, the letter of printing black and other figure on it.The background color of tongue-like pieces 545 for example is yellow or red, with the background color formation contrast of major part 544.Being printed on the letter on the base and the color of figure mainly is mass colour or blue look.Like this, because major part 544 is different with tongue-like pieces 545 design and color each other, so can distinguish to them.Therefore, when needs are taken away tongue-like pieces 545, can cause user's attention.
Each ink supply port 513,513 ' and 513 " all sealed up by a film shown in Figure 2 546, and adorn black spicule and insert airtightly respectively and adorn black hole 514,514 ' and 514 " and 515,515 ' and 515 ".Make the black hole 541,541 of first assembling ' and 541 " is communicated with vacuum plant, and with second assemble black hole 515,515 ' with 515 " close.
Vacuum plant make each foamed material chamber 511,511 ' and 511 " and each ink chamber 512,512 ' and 512 " in pressure reduce.When pressure is reduced to predetermined value, stop vacuumizing and with first group of device bore closure.After this, the measuring tube that makes the second assembling Mo Kongyu that printing ink is housed is communicated with.The printing ink that is equipped with in the measuring tube is inhaled into the print cartridge that is in vacuum state, then by corresponding porous member 520,520 ' and 520 " absorb, afterwards, respectively through intercommunicating pore 519,519 ' and 519 " flow into ink chamber 512,512 ' and 512 ".
After the printing ink of ormal weight flows into corresponding ink chamber, sealing back plate 542 is fixedly mounted on covers on 516 the surface, so that in decompression state lower sealing device hole 514,514 ' and 514 " and 515,515 ' and 515 ", groove 540,540 ' and 540 and intercommunicating pore 541,541 ' and 541 ".After this, closure plate 542 make foamed material chamber 511,511 ' and 511 " and ink chamber 512,512 ' and 512 " keep from decompression state.
Before using print cartridge, the tongue-like pieces 545 of closure plate 542 is deviate from, so that neck 543 places of tongue-like pieces 545 are disconnected, separate with major part 544.Therefore, adorn black hole 514,514 ' with 514 " through groove 540,540 ' with 540 " with gas vent 541,541 ' and 541 " fluid is communicated with.Equally, the foamed material chamber is through groove 540,540 ' with 540 " with gas vent 541,541 ' and 541 " thereby be communicated with the atmosphere fluid.Therefore, when preventing the printing ink evaporation, make print cartridge obtain exhaust.
Referring now to Fig. 7 (a), and (b), wherein the position of the ink supply port 513 of print cartridge will with record head ink supply spicule 550 centerings.After this, when inserting print cartridge, push it to record head.The tapered segment 551 of ink supply spicule 550 passes diaphragm seal 546 and cooperates with the hole of the seal 530 shown in Fig. 7 (a).Opening by a seal 530 makes progress, so when the conical portion 551 of ink supply spicule 550 made seal 530 strains, ink supply spicule 550 just passed seal 530.
When using print cartridge, ink supply spicule 550 passes seal 530.The elasticity of the coupling part 534 of seal 530 impels tapered segment 532 to cooperate with ink supply spicule 550.Even the ink supply spicule 550 of record head has axis not overlap with the center of seal 530 slightly, the ink supply port 513 of ink supply spicule 550 also can be realized air seal.
After print cartridge is installed,, give record head and the ink supply spicule 550 that runs through applies negative pressure, flow into record heads so that the printing ink in the box passes ink supply spicule 550 in order printing ink to be introduced record head or to be utilized the jet performance of printing ink.Because the existence of pressure reduction, this high negative pressure that imposes on print cartridge makes airtightly the tapered segment 532 of print cartridge and big gas phase sealing and the seal 530 that is isolated is risen towards the inside of print cartridge shown in Fig. 7 (a).Therefore, this pressure reduction helps to make the tapered segment 532 of seal 530 to press to ink supply spicule 550 with flexibly pressing to the ink supply pin, thereby helps to seal airtightly print cartridge.
Even ink supply spicule 550 does not insert seal 530 fully, as long as the conical portion of ink supply spicule 550 551 keeps in touch with the tapered segment 532 shown in Fig. 7 (b), the elastic force in the tapered segment 532 of seal 530 keeps in touch tapered segment 532 and ink supply spicule 550.Therefore, even without spicule is inserted fully, also can guarantee the air-tightness of seal 530 and ink supply spicule 550.
Because the top of ink supply spicule 550 is sealed when contact with seal 530, shown in can make the wasted space in the print cartridge very little, can prevent that the air bubble of the piston effect generation when print cartridge is inserted record head from entering print cartridge.
When the nozzle opening by record head applied negative pressure, printing ink via through holes 524 that porous member 520 is absorbed and the through hole of ink supply spicule 550 552 flowed into record head.Be consumed when the printing ink of scheduled volume leaves porous member 520, when the quantity of ink in the porous member 520 reduced, the pressure in the ink chamber 512 surpassed near the holding force of the porous member 520 the intercommunicating pore 519, and therefore, air bubble enters ink chamber 512 at intercommunicating pore 519.Therefore, the pressure in the ink chamber 512 increases, thereby printing ink flows into foamed material chamber 511.
The printing ink that flows into foamed material chamber 511 is absorbed by porous member 520, and the quantity of ink of foamed material chamber 511 is increased.Near the printing ink holding force of the porous member 520 intercommunicating pore 519 and the pressure balanced moment in the ink chamber 512, printing ink stops to the mobile of foamed material chamber 511 from ink chamber 512.
Curve shown in Figure 8 is represented this process.In the figure, alphabetical F represents the force value in the porous member 520 of foamed material chamber 511, and its female G represents the quantity of ink in the ink chamber 512.The printing ink W1 of the initial scheduled volume that contains is consumed in porous member 520, when thereby the quantity of ink in the porous member 520 reduces to predetermined value, because under this predetermined value, pressure in the ink chamber 512 surpasses near the printing ink holding force of the porous member 520 the intercommunicating pore 519, so printing ink just little by little flows into foamed material chamber 511 from ink chamber 512.Till the printing ink holding force that this process proceeds near the porous member 520 of pressure and intercommunicating pore 519 in the ink chamber 512 restores balance again.As a result, although the quantity of ink in the ink chamber 512 is reducing gradually, the quantity of ink in the porous member 520 remains unchanged basically, thereby supplies with record head printing ink by constant pressure reduction with constant speed.
Consume the printing ink W2 of scheduled volume at record head after, in ink chamber 512, can not leave printing ink, but the quantity of ink that is contained in the porous member 520 can equal to supply with discontinuously from ink chamber the quantity of ink of foamed material chamber 511.Thereby, although be not used in the ink chamber 512 making additional printing ink, utilize the quantity of ink that absorbed in the porous member 520 can proceed to print to porous member 520.Consume the printing ink W3 of scheduled volume in print procedure after, the printing ink in the porous member 520 will be used up, and this print cartridge will no longer be kept printing.
Absorbed by porous member 520 in the overall print process that printing ink uses up at whole printing ink of being adorned from ink chamber 512, the quantity of ink of supplying with printhead is constant.The printing ink of using up in the ink chamber 512 shows that the printing ink in the ink cartridge will soon be used up.If under this degree, insert a new print cartridge, just can guarantee that the printing ink of supplying with record head is not interrupted.
As mentioned above, in print procedure, the inner space of print cartridge of the present invention is remained under the negative pressure state.Except between ink supply port and ink supply spicule, realizing above-mentioned air seal, carry printing ink normally to carry out from ink chamber 512 to foamed material chamber 511, constant with the flow of the printing ink of guaranteeing to supply with record head.Use description to control the structure of carrying printing ink to foamed material chamber 511 below from ink chamber 512.
Referring to Fig. 9, the figure shows the foamed material chamber 511 of third embodiment of the invention and the interface between the ink chamber 512.Represent same structure with same label.Main difference between this embodiment and first embodiment is a step part of formation in hole 519.
In by 519, form a step part 560.The bottom of ink chamber 512 divides 563 to divide highly than the bottom of foamed material chamber 511, and step part 560 is separation centers.The groove 561 that is communicated with foamed material chamber and ink chamber is to form in the lower part of step part 560.
Referring now to Figure 10,, the figure shows the print cartridge that constitutes according to the 4th embodiment of the present invention.Equally, represent same structure with same label.This embodiment and main difference between first embodiment are that the height at the end of corresponding chamber is different.
The basal surface 564 of ink chamber 512 is than the basal surface height of foamed material chamber 511, thus formation step part 562.Step part 562 holds the lower part of porous member 520.Like this, be compressed by near that part of porous member the hole 519.As required, can form the inclined-plane 563 that tilts to foamed material chamber 511 from ink chamber 512, to impel the conveying of printing ink.Because inclined-plane 563 can make the printing ink in the ink chamber 512 more easily flow to the foamed material chamber, irrelevant with the inclination of travelling carriage, so can stably supply with record head printing ink from ink chamber 512.
Referring now to Figure 11 and Figure 12,, this figure represents the ink cartridge according to the fifth embodiment of the invention formation.Same structure is represented with same label.Main difference between this embodiment and first embodiment is the shape of through hole.This embodiment and Fig. 4 and embodiment shown in Figure 5 are identical.
On the surface of the intermediate membrane 510 that separates foamed material chamber 511 and ink chamber 512, form Fig. 4 and slit 519a shown in Figure 5.Slit 519a forms on the surface of the foamed material chamber of dividing plate 510 511 1 sides, and is communicated with the top of intercommunicating pore 519 of intermediate membrane 510 in the corresponding chamber 511,512.In order to make air enter foamed material chamber 511 and make these chambers keep fluid to be communicated with, in the lower end of slit 519a, form through hole 519b from ink chamber 512.Therefore, the top with porous member 520 of less capillary force is communicated with intercommunicating pore 519 maintenance fluids by the space that is formed by shallow slot 519a.Thereby air can replace printing ink glibly, so that the printing ink in the ink chamber 512 flow into foamed material chamber 511 evenly, thereby occurs when preventing to supply with printing ink too much or not enough.
Referring now to Figure 13 and Figure 14,, these two ink cartridge that the figure expression constitutes according to the 6th embodiment of the present invention.Represent same structure with same label.Main difference is a protuberance that stretches into foamed material chamber 511.
As shown in figure 14, on the end of foamed material chamber 511, form a shape of a hoof protuberance 565.Protuberance 565 obtains a space near intercommunicating pore 519, so that printing ink can be easy to flow into foamed material chamber 511 from ink chamber 512.
As mentioned above, an intermediate membrane 510 is spaced from each other foamed material chamber 511 with ink chamber 512.Respectively as shown in Figure 5 and Figure 6, in the 7th of monochromatic print cartridge or the 8th embodiment, can make the ink chamber 571 of formation two or three limits, at least one wall in the wall 572 that separates foamed material chamber 570 and ink chamber 571, form intercommunicating pore 573 round foamed material chamber 570.An outlet 574 is arranged in foamed material chamber 570.The quantity of ink that the print cartridge of this structure can store is compared often with the volume of whole print cartridge.Thereby because the relation of the position of chamber, the user is easy to check because of printing ink to use up whether need to change print cartridge.
Referring now to Figure 17 and Figure 18,, these two print cartridges of scheming expression according to the ink-jet printer of the 9th embodiment formation of the present invention.It is similar that this embodiment cherishes first embodiment, and main difference is to have adopted elastic O-ring 5300, and when the ink supply spicule was inserted the ink supply box, O shape circle 5300 contacted with the circumferential surface of the ink supply spicule of record head.Yet this ink-jet printer has produced some other problem that has been solved by first embodiment.When print cartridge being installed on the travelling carriage and the ink supply spicule inserted print cartridge, produce big frictional force, thereby on record head and balladeur train, cause additional stress.In addition, the circumferential edge of O shape circle 5300 is by 5302 supportings of print cartridge body.When inserting the ink supply spicule in the ink supply box, do not overlap if between the ink supply spicule of print cartridge and record head, axis occurs, then be difficult to install print cartridge.Furtherly, groove 5304 when printing ink with three kinds of colors of splendid attire, when 5306 and 5308 one three color ink box forms one as shown in figure 18,, then be difficult to such print cartridge is installed on the record if print cartridge and any ink supply spicule axis do not overlap.
