Technical field
The present invention relates to the print cartridge that uses in a kind of ink-jet printer, specifically, relate to a kind of split type no sponge hydraulic pressure autobalance print cartridge that utilizes hydraulic principle control print cartridge to go out China ink.
Background technology
At present, ink-jet printer is obtaining application more and more widely from enterprises and institutions to the family.Yet, there is following deficiency in the print cartridge of present widely used ink-jet printer: 1, use cavernous foamed material (sponge) to receive and storage ink in the inking chamber of print cartridge, but this total amount that has the stored ink of print cartridge of cellular foamed material generally is no more than the 60%-65% of print cartridge total measurement (volume), and residual always a certain amount of ink in the porous body, therefore, increase user's use cost and cause waste, residual ink also pollutes environment simultaneously.
In order to address the above problem the print cartridge that some no cellular foamed materials occurred, for example, CN2529768Y has proposed the annular step scalariform check valve that a kind of ink outlet port is provided with the control ink flowrate, be provided with the air bag that communicates with air admission hole of band micropore in the inking chamber, according to the pressure condition of ink, the switching of control micropore comes ink supply.CN1309022A has also proposed a kind of structure of utilizing valve body control ink flowrate, and this ink supply application valve body is the elastic tube that the end sealing of a narrow slit is arranged on the sidewall, and it is the pressure condition according to ink, and the switching of control narrow slit comes ink supply.CN1436665A also is that this valve arrangement comprises the elastic component of film valve seat, valve body and support valve body with valve arrangement control ink flowrate, and it is to open and shrinks by the film valve seat to open or close ink supply aperture realization ink supply.CN1443646A adopts one-way valve structures equally, and a leather cup is arranged in this one-way valve structures, and leather cup opens and closes the aperture that has on it with the pressure variation and controls ink flowrate, realizes ink supply.
These common shortcomings of structure that adopt valve control ink flowrate are to make complex structure and raise the cost owing to having increased valve and other parts on the one hand; On the other hand they all need to utilize a flexible member (as, air bag, elastic tube, film, leather cup) elasticity opening and closing ink outlet port, but since be subjected to the external world (as, the surface tension of liquid) with the change that repeatedly opens and closes self elastic performance and the influence of workmanship (when particularly producing in batches), elastomer can not guarantee to stablize, open and close reliably, thereby makes normally ink supply of print cartridge.
Summary of the invention
The purpose of this invention is to provide a kind of simple in structure, the print cartridge of low cost of manufacture and dependable performance.
For achieving the above object, the present invention has designed a kind of hydraulic pressure automatic balance type print cartridge according to the mechanics of liquids principle, and it does not promptly have the cellular foamed material, also not as the add ons of this class formation complexity of valve.
Split type no sponge hydraulic pressure autobalance print cartridge of the present invention, comprise a shell body adaptive with the printer ink box mounting structure, an inking chamber that is installed on the shell body, it is characterized in that: inking chamber have one by the antetheca of plastic material and with this antetheca all-in-one-piece on, down, a left side, right four walls and hot pressure on four mural margins with antetheca opposed in plastic sheeting surround the inner space of formation, have pouring ink hole and pore on the upper wall, have the air admission hole that communicates with the inking chamber inner space on the antetheca, one narrow, circuitous air slot is arranged on the outside of antetheca, one end of air slot is communicated with air admission hole, the other end is communicated with pore by a groove, the outer plastic sheeting hot pressure of a slice is at the outer side covers groove of antetheca, air slot and air admission hole, an ink outlet port structure is arranged on the bottom of inking chamber, it has one to be positioned at the ink hole of being less than or equal to the air admission hole height and position, and ink hole and interior plastic sheeting keep making ink to form the distance of capillarity.
Print cartridge operation principle of the present invention is such: fill with the inking chamber of ink before the printing and be in the hydro-cushion state by the ink hole ink-feed channel identical with inking chamber, because this moment, inking chamber had only outlet of air slot, so if ink will flow out, must there be air to replenish in the inking chamber to keep balance, therefore, the approach of air will pass through pore--air slot---air admission hole enters inking chamber, and air will enter inking chamber with regard to the pressure of the ink in the Gonna breakthrough inking chamber to it, and this pressure is enough to stop air to enter inking chamber, this has just formed air and has advanced not go, the pressure balance that ink can't get out takes place thereby effectively prevent to ooze under the ink phenomenon.During printing, by with the moving of print cartridge, the effect that ink in the inking chamber is subjected to an external force produces to its unique outlet--the trend that-air admission hole is discharged, this trend is of short duration, flow out air admission hole in this process with the ink that minute quantity is arranged, but because air admission hole directly is not in communication with the outside, who will enter narrow air slot with the China ink that flows out, air slot is designed to narrow circuitous configuration promptly can increase the interior pressure of groove, but the capacity of oversized slots again, thereby the ink that makes outflow has only and enters air slot on a small quantity, and the pore that can't arrive on the upper wall flows out.Print beginning, the suction spindle of printhead from ink-feed channel that ink hole communicates in suck ink, cause that pressure descends, so air enters from air admission hole and replenishes to keep pressure balance, carrying out along with print job, liquid level constantly descends, but because that ink outlet port is in height and position with air admission hole is identical or be lower than the place, according to the identical principle of the same liquid level pressure of mechanics of liquids, the pressure of ink outlet port end is in the state that is equal to or less than the air inlet end pressure all the time, thereby it is smooth to go out China ink when promptly having guaranteed printing, has guaranteed that again ink does not ooze down.When using ink and be lower than the ink outlet port horizontal level, because alloy filter screen on the ink outlet port and hot pressure guarantee to utilize the capillary principle of liquid to realize allowing ink exceed stream from lower is past by predefined accurate distance between the plastic sheeting of four narrow lateral edge, till the ink in the inking chamber is exhausted.
Because the present invention promptly do not adopt the cellular foamed material, for example do not adopt other add ons such as check valve yet, thereby have simple in structurely, manufacturing expense is low, dependable performance and the advantage that ink can be exhausted.And print cartridge of the present invention can reuse, and the user can fill the ink of difference in functionality voluntarily according to the needs of oneself, as color type, dye-type, hot transfer printing, edible and cleaning ink.Print cartridge of the present invention has the high feature of environmental protection and saves user's cost of use greatly.
