Description

The filling device for ink that is used for print cartridge
Technical field
The utility model relates to a kind of filling device for ink that is used for replenishing ink to ink-jet printer cartridge.
Background technology
The print cartridge that has a lot of ink-jet printers to use in the market is an integral box, just printing nozzle and ink tank is integrated, and is generally the structure of sponge print cartridge.This class print cartridge has characteristics, after the user has used up ink, can irritate China ink to print cartridge and continue then to use.
Ink filling method commonly used has following several:
1. nozzle is irritated the method for the use of ink and water.Producer designs and provides complete annex for the user: ink bottle, ink box cover, screw, allow the user from the nozzle of print cartridge to injecting ink in the print cartridge.The shortcoming of this method is: from the nozzle ink, will make dust and other large particulate matters of possibility plug nozzle directly enter print cartridge without the print cartridge filtration system, if compatible ink is of low quality, cause spray nozzle clogging probably, print cartridge is scrapped, and if the print cartridge of this integral type uses original-pack ink should have longer life originally.
2. reaming perfusion.A pore is all arranged on each print cartridge, and this is the respiratory apparatus that designs in order to keep the Ink Cartridge inner pressure balance.The user enlarges the pore on the print cartridge, pours into ink then from here.The shortcoming of this method is: if pore is extended, cause the air pressure adjustment functional failure, ink will overflow from nozzle.Destroy pore, the serious print cartridge that will make is scrapped.
3. drill-pouring method.Print cartridge itself does not have ink outlet port except nozzle, pore can not destroy again, so can only use the drill-pouring method.Producer designs for the user and complete annex is provided: the ink bottle, drill bit, the bellows (hand wind device) that have syringe needle.The shortcoming of this method is: need boring, troublesome poeration; Easily there is fines to fall in the print cartridge during boring; The aid that needs is more; Be difficult to control and irritate the China ink amount, ink is easy to overflow from the filling China ink hole of nozzle and upper casing.
The shortcoming of existing ink filling method is summed up:
1, adopt malleation to irritate China ink, occurring ink easily can not be full of below the ink supply post well, prints striped and disconnected China ink thereby cause;
2, sponge formula print cartridge uses above method to be prone to the black uneven situation that adds;
3, the improper ink that easily makes of operation control leaks outside make dirty clothes and hand;
Need grasp dynamics when 4, expanding the print cartridge space with drill bit;
When 5, adopting syringe or spring bottle to fill, pumpback is dumb;
6, the aid of Shi Yonging is many, complicated operation;
7, ink leak, printer often occur behind the last machine and do not recognize problems such as print cartridge;
8, the ink wiping is unclean on the metal chip, causes the printer short circuit easily.
The utility model content
The purpose of this utility model is the defective at prior art, and a kind of filling device for ink that is used for print cartridge is provided, and it is easy to use, clean hygiene and filling effect are good.
For solving the problems of the technologies described above, the utility model has adopted following technical scheme: design a kind of filling device for ink that is used for print cartridge, the top of described print cartridge has the black hole of filling, the bottom has nozzle, described filling device for ink comprises base, be connected in the upper casing and the filling ink container that holds ink of this base, has the print cartridge container cavity that is used to place described print cartridge in the described upper casing, the roof of this upper casing also is provided with and is used for the filling China ink interface that docks with the ink outlet port of described filling ink container and is used to insert the filling tattooing needle in the black hole of described filling, and described filling ink container is for irritating ink container to the negative pressure that described print cartridge is bled in advance.
Preferably, be provided with the print cartridge position limiting structure in the described print cartridge container cavity, this print cartridge position limiting structure can be the polylith limiting plate on the side wall inner surfaces that is formed on described upper casing.Further, the bottom of described upper casing also is provided with can be along the axially movable filling tattooing needle baffle of described filling tattooing needle, and having on this filling tattooing needle baffle can be for described filling tattooing needle through hole that passes and the slit that can supply described limiting plate to pass.The bottom surface of described filling tattooing needle baffle is provided with the detent that can cooperate with the locating convex block at described print cartridge top.Be provided with the guide pillar that cooperates with described filling tattooing needle baffle in the described upper casing, be with the spring between described filling tattooing needle baffle and described roof on the described guide pillar.The bottom of described filling tattooing needle baffle is provided with the seal that is used for sealing the black hole of described filling when irritating China ink.
Preferably, be fixed with the sealing gasket that is used for when irritating China ink, sealing described nozzle on the described base.
Described negative pressure is irritated ink container can be syringe, and this syringe comprises urceolus and the push rod that can move back and forth in this urceolus, and wherein said push rod is solid hopkinson bar or hollow stem.In addition, described negative pressure is irritated the Ink-filling Bottle that ink container can also have negative pressure for inside, has the air guide film of tearing when irritating China ink on this Ink-filling Bottle.
Filling device for ink of the present utility model has following advantage and beneficial effect:
1, in irritating black process, need not the client and contact ink, can not make dirty client's hand and environment on every side.
2, irritate in the black process, the nozzle of print cartridge can guarantee the interior ink of ink supply post below nozzle and the filter screen is filled down better, reaches good printing effect.
3, irritate China ink and adopt negative pressure to irritate China ink, irritate the China ink amount and be the quantity of ink that the print cartridge cavity can inspiration goes, can not irritate less or irritate more, the phenomenon of China ink and nozzle ink leak can not occur emitting, and it is also better to irritate black effect.
