Fig. 1 is the overall structure schematic diagram of the utility model print cartridge filling device embodiment, and Fig. 2 is the decomposition texture schematic diagram of the utility model print cartridge filling device embodiment.The print cartridge filling device of present embodiment can comprise ink tank 11, inlet channel 12, suction channel 13 and suction channel 14 again.
At first describe the concrete structure of each several part of the print cartridge filling device of present embodiment below in detail:
Wherein, ink tank 11 is used for storing the ink that is filled to print cartridge, for example can be provided for being connected with ink filling port on the print cartridge refilling channel 15 with inside injection ink on this ink tank 11 on its top.Inlet channel 12 and suction channel 13 can be arranged in the ink tank 11, and when this print cartridge filling device used, inlet channel 12 can be communicated with ink tank 11, is used for outside atmosphere is introduced ink tank 11 to regulate its internal pressure; Suction channel 13 can be communicated with print cartridge, is used for being connected with aspirator making the inner negative pressure that forms of print cartridge with suction print cartridge inner air.
The main feature of the print cartridge filling device of present embodiment is the setting of suction channel 14 again.This again suction channel 14 can be arranged on the top of ink tank 11, and be communicated with ink outlet port on the print cartridge.One silicagel pad 18 can be set again with sealing ink tank 11 between suction channel 14 and the suction channel 13.By suction channel 14 is set again, can be after finishing the print cartridge filling, be connected with aspirator and extract a spot of ink in the print cartridge, bubble is assembled near so just can avoid being positioned at the print cartridge ink outlet port piezoelectric transducer top, thus the installation nonrecognition of the print cartridge after preventing to fill and cause the user can't print operation.
Further, can seal member be set in the end of suction channel 14 again.Concrete, a seal 16 can be set, sealing part 16 can be made by silica gel, on it aperture can be set, and the needle tubing diameter dimension of the diameter dimension of this aperture and aspirator is suitable.Aspirator can pass through sealing part 16 by this aperture and be connected with suction channel 14 again.When aspirator was extracted, under the elastic reaction of silica gel, being sucked the part that device passes through can automatically seal, and prevents that air from entering in the ink tank 11.In addition, in the present embodiment, the top of seal 16 can also be provided with a sealing gasket 17, but its fixing seals 16 prevents from seal 16 to be extracted when taking out aspirator.
Further, the print cartridge filling device of present embodiment also improves the setting of suction channel.Concrete, this suction channel 13 can be set to cross ink tank 11 and directly be connected with the ink outlet port of print cartridge.Be that suction channel 13 is arranged in ink tank 11, but be not communicated with, only be communicated with print cartridge with ink tank 11.
It is above-mentioned by suction channel 13 directly is communicated with and is not communicated with ink tank with print cartridge, can be so that when utilizing suction channel to aspirate, only aspirate the air in the print cartridge, do not aspirate the air in the ink tank 11, thereby the air capacity of being aspirated in the time of can guaranteeing repeatedly to fill is constant, can guarantee that each quantity of ink of filling is constant, guarantee user's stable operation; Efficiently solve in the prior art owing to be a confined space that is communicated with between ink tank and the print cartridge, and cause when print cartridge is repeatedly aspirated refilling, the air capacity of being aspirated is more and more, the quantity of ink that is filled in the print cartridge is fewer and feweri, the unstable and not good problem of printing effect of filling quality.
In addition, above-mentioned inlet channel 12 can be separately positioned on the diverse location of ink tank 11 with suction channel 13; Perhaps, also can be as in the present embodiment, with inlet channel 12 and suction channel 13 coaxial settings, like this can be so that simple in structure, simplified manufacturing process.
Further, when inlet channel and suction channel are coaxial when being provided with, can valve member be set at the pump orifice in the suction channel 13 19, so that can be by the opening and closing of this valve member control inlet channel 12.Below lift the version of two concrete application structures, but be not limited to this two kinds of forms to illustrate that this valve member can adopt.
Wherein a kind of structure of above-mentioned valve member can be referring to Fig. 3 and Fig. 4, Fig. 3 is the closed condition schematic diagram of the inlet channel valve member embodiment one in the utility model print cartridge filling device, and Fig. 4 is the open mode schematic diagram of the inlet channel valve member embodiment one in the utility model print cartridge filling device.This valve member is arranged on the inlet channel, and it can comprise valve seat 20, sealing ring 21 and elastomeric element 22, and this elastomeric element 22 can be spring.Wherein, valve seat 20 is positioned at pump orifice 19 places of suction channel, and elastomeric element 22 is set on the outer wall of described suction channel, and sealing ring 21 is between valve seat 20 and elastomeric element 22, and an end matches with elastomeric element 22, and the other end matches with valve seat 20.This valve member can optionally open or close inlet channel.
Its principle is, shown in Figure 3 when the print cartridge filling device does not use, this valve member is in closed condition, and sealing ring 21 closely cooperates with valve seat 20 under the effect of the elastic force of elastomeric element 22, thereby prevents that air from entering in the ink tank.It is shown in Figure 4 when the print cartridge filling device uses and print cartridge filled, owing to cooperating with pump orifice 19, aspirator produces a downward active force, and this downward active force is greater than the elastic force of elastomeric element 22, impelling elastomeric element 22 to deform moves down, thereby drive sealing ring 21 moves down and lifts off a seat 20, promptly this valve member moves down to open inlet channel, and extraneous air is supplemented in the ink tank along illustrated track.When the print cartridge filling finished, when extracting aspirator, the downward active force of former generation was cancelled, and then this moment, sealing ring 21 closely cooperated with valve seat 20 under the effect of elastomeric element 22 once again, closed inlet channel once again, prevented that ink from leaking.
Another structure of above-mentioned valve member can be referring to Fig. 5, and Fig. 5 is the structural representation of the inlet channel valve member embodiment two in the utility model print cartridge filling device.The difference of this valve member and last a kind of structure is, has set up a parts lining.Wherein, this lining can comprise mating part 23 and slipper 24.Mating part 23 cooperates with sealing ring 21, the equal diameters of its diameter and sealing ring 21; Slipper 24 is used for sliding along the outer wall of suction channel, and its diameter is a bit larger tham the diameter of suction channel 13.For this reason, sealing ring 21 closely cooperates with valve seat 20, and lining cooperates with sealing ring 21, and lining can slide along suction channel 13.Preferably, this lining can adopt engineering plastics to make, and sealing ring can adopt rubber or silica gel to make.
Its principle is, when the print cartridge filling device uses, cooperates with pump orifice and under the effect of the active force that produces, sealing ring 21 can break away from valve seats 20 at aspirator.At this moment, owing to cooperate between lining and the sealing ring 21, then lining also moves down along suction channel 13.Obviously, this moment, valve member was opened, and air can enter in the ink tank to adjust the pressure of ink tank.
In addition, if only when adopting sealing ring, because sealing ring is to utilize rubber, silica type material to make, elasticity is bigger, when aspirator inserts, bigger distortion takes place easily, it very easily occurs and deforms and be difficult to open the phenomenon of inlet channel to both sides.And after passing through in the present embodiment to adopt lining, because being engineering plastics, makes lining, when inserting, after by sealing ring power being delivered to lining, strain can not take place but directly to lower slider in lining, and since its with sealing ring between cooperates, also can produce a power to drive the sealing ring downslide, can make aspirator need not excessive active force when inserting and can open inlet channel, control accuracy is improved.
Further, the seal member that the end of refilling channel 15 also can be provided for sealing leaks in the transportation ink inside preventing.Concrete, as shown in Figure 2, can seal member be set at the end that refilling channel 15 is connected with ink filling port on the print cartridge.The sealing parts can comprise plug 25 and sleeve 26, and sleeve 26 is to be made by engineering plastics, and plug is to be made by rubber or silica gel, sleeve 26 cooperate with plug assembling easily and easily dress get.The reason that sleeve 26 is set is: in order to make the miniaturization of print cartridge filling device, the space that its top holds print cartridge is comparatively narrow, if only seal with plug 25, then the user needs hand is stretched into narrow space to take out plug in use, comparatively trouble.By this sleeve 26 is set, it can fit in one with plug 25, and the length of sleeve 26 is longer, is slightly less than the length of print cartridge, and then the user only need extract sleeve 26 in use and can extract plug 25, opens refilling channel 15, and is simple and convenient.
Further, the print cartridge filling device of present embodiment can also comprise positioning element 27.This positioning element 27 can comprise that one holds the cavity of print cartridge to be filled, be used at the print cartridge filling device during to the print cartridge filling ink, print cartridge is put into this cavity, holding ink container, and the ink filling port of print cartridge and ink outlet port be communicated with the corresponding interface in the ink tank respectively.This positioning element 27 can link into an integrated entity by screens with ink tank, also can be arranged to integrated structure.
In addition, the user takes and holds this print cartridge filling device for convenience, on the outer wall of this positioning element 27 handle part 28 can also be set further.This handle part can be formed by several grooves parallel with the device outer wall.In addition, this handle part 28 can also be as the connecting portion between the adjacent print cartridge filling device, only need be provided with the projection of coincideing with above-mentioned groove shapes in the outside of another filling device and get final product (not shown) this moment, makes things convenient for the user that the filling device that several load the different colours ink is linked together like this.
