A kind of print cartridge that is used for ink-jet printer
Technical field
The utility model relates to a kind of print cartridge that is used for ink-jet printer.
Background technology
Chinese patent CN200820200275.X discloses a kind of technology, and the China ink that the principle that this technology has adopted magnetic force to inhale is mutually finished print cartridge detects to the greatest extent.In the embodiment one of this technology, indication piece and induction pieces adopt magnet to inhale mutually, the same with under mode, two parts can not produce and relatively move.Induction pieces is the floating part of inside, print cartridge chamber.Because floating part and indication piece all can produce frictional force with the print cartridge wall, this mode is very difficult in realization.Because floating part is that ink buoyancy holds up it,, cause this technical scheme to be difficult to carry out so the size of the suction of magnet and frictional force is difficult to control.
Also disclose another kind of mode among the embodiment of this patent, induction pieces is inhaled together mutually with indication piece magnetic, and induction pieces is the outer STATEMENT OF FEDERALLY SPONSORED of ink bag, and STATEMENT OF FEDERALLY SPONSORED can move with the distortion of ink bag.During full China ink, induction pieces is inhaled together mutually with indication piece magnetic, shrivelled along with ink bag, and the STATEMENT OF FEDERALLY SPONSORED translation causes indication piece to separate with induction pieces, and detection is finished in the indication piece whereabouts.This technical scheme adopts ink bag induction pieces that links, because ink bag quality softness is difficult to mobile the cooperating of shrivelled and the STATEMENT OF FEDERALLY SPONSORED of control ink bag.Often ink bag is shrivelled, and STATEMENT OF FEDERALLY SPONSORED can not be moved with the end that indication piece is inhaled mutually.The detection instability that causes quantity of ink.

The specific embodiment
Shown in Fig. 1-5, a kind of print cartridge that is used for ink-jet printer, comprise box body 1, under pressure with box body 1 relatively-movable lid 6, be used to detect the testing agency of print cartridge and ink remaining amount, be provided with elastomeric element between lid 6 and the box body 1, box body 1 comprises the ink storage chamber that is used for storage ink, ink outlet port 3 to the printhead ink supply of printer, the atmosphere import, the testing agency of detecting print cartridge and ink remaining amount comprise with printer on first detection part 7 of first sensor 104 couplings, with second detection part of second sensor 102 coupling on the printer be arranged at the buoy 2 of follower in the ink storage chamber as floating with quantity of ink, second detection part comprises movable rod member 5 and is arranged at the fixed axis of box body 1, movable rod member 5 is connected with box body 1 rotating shaft by fixed axis, movable rod member 5 is provided with the occlusion part and the first magnetic force parts 21; buoy 2 is provided with and the first magnetic force parts 21 are corresponding and and the first magnetic force parts 21 between can produce the magneto motive second magnetic force parts 22, movable rod member 5 is realized blocking of second detection part under gravity and the first magnetic force parts 21 and the second magnetic force parts, 22 magneticactions., lid 6 is provided with and makes depression bar, depression bar and movable rod member 5 butts that rotate around fixed axis with movable rod member 5 when lid 6 presses down.The first magnetic force parts 21 and the second magnetic force parts 22 are magnet.Certainly, also can be in the first magnetic force parts 21 and the second magnetic force parts 22 one for magnet, another is for producing magneto motive metal with magnet.When quantity of ink was sufficient, the magnetic force that the second magnetic force parts 22 produce on the buoy 2 made the signal occlusion part on the movable rod member block sensor.When ink arrived certain threshold value, the magnetic force that the second magnetic force parts 22 on the floating member produce diminished, and makes no longer occlusion detection sensor of occlusion part.
In print cartridge is packed the process of printer into, open the ink box warehouse lid 105 of printer, ink box warehouse 10 has and detects the first sensor 104 and second sensor 102 that print cartridge is installed, and when print cartridge was not installed, the two sensorses in the ink box warehouse 10 all were in on-state.With the print cartridge installation deeply, light sends from second sensor, 102 emission parts, block and can't get back to the acceptance division of second sensor 102 through the second detection part occlusion part, these state second sensor 102 light paths disconnect, and first sensor 104 does not contact first detection part 7 and belongs to on-state.Light sends from second sensor, 102 emission parts then, because elastomeric element contact ink box warehouse 10 walls, elastomeric element is subjected to displacement, press to second detection part, second detection part moves around axle, its occlusion part is subjected to displacement, and the displacement on second sensor, 102 directions of motion is greater than second sensor 102, at this moment occlusion part has streaked second sensor, 102 sensed positions, light is mapped to the acceptance division of second sensor 102, these state second sensor 102 light paths are connected, and the light that the emission part of first sensor 104 sends is blocked by first detection part 7, and first sensor 104 light paths are in off-state.With going deep into of print cartridge installation, light sends from second sensor, 102 emission parts, and the magneticaction that this moment, the second detection part occlusion part produced owing to magnetic field, stop to be subjected to displacement, and this moment, second detection part was in the detection position of second sensor 102, this moment, the second detection part occlusion part sheltered from the light that second sensor 102 sends, light can't be got back to second sensor, 102 receiving portions, these state second sensor 102 light paths disconnect, and the light that the emission part of first sensor 104 sends is still blocked by first detection part 7, first sensor 104 light paths also are in off-state, and this moment, the printer prompts print cartridge can be used.Printing the incipient stage, the quantity of ink abundance, the floating member that has magnet is positioned at and detects the position, and the magnetic field force of its generation is kept second detection part and is in the position of blocking second sensor 102.And along with the consumption of printing, quantity of ink constantly reduces, when the consumption of ink of print cartridge during to certain value, because floating member moves down with the variation of quantity of ink, the magnetic field force that produce this moment is not enough to support second detection part, second detection part leaves the position of blocking second sensor, 102 light paths, as shown in Figure 5.Light direct beam will exhaust thereby printer detects ink to light receiving element, and then the printer program setting continues to print the 2-3ml ink after printer detects 102 conductings of second sensor, sends the signal prompt user then and changes print cartridge.
