Description
Technical field
The utility model relates to a kind of print cartridge, specifically is meant the print cartridge that a kind of ink-jet printer is used.。
Background technology
In the prior art, optical sensing methods is used widely as one of detection method of ink surplus in the cartridge of ink-jet printer.
The structure that existing print cartridge generally adopts floating drum, fly rod to link to each other with the shading member detects ink surplus in the print cartridge through buoyancy realization shading member moving between luminous component and light receiving component.Shown in accompanying drawing 1, when ink in the print cartridge was sufficient, floating drum 3 ＇ remain on shading member 1 ＇ through fly rod 4 ＇ under the ink buoyancy function can cover the position that laser detection is put 2 ＇, lets light-receiving device can't receive optical signal; When in the print cartridge during ink cartridge low; Shown in accompanying drawing 2; Ink buoyancy reduces, and floating drum 3 ＇ begin to sink, and the effect through fly rod makes lifts on shading member 1 ＇ and depart from the position that laser detection is put 2 ＇; Shading member 1 ＇ can't stop that detecting light beam puts 2 ＇ through laser detection, and printer can send the cue of changing print cartridge after light-receiving device received optical signal smoothly.This kind Ink cartridge with structure not only need move the structure that required buoyancy is provided with floating drum 3 ＇ and shading member 1 ＇ through accurate Calculation shading member 1 ＇; And need on box body, open the groove that holds floating drum 3 ＇, shading member 1 ＇ and connect fly rod 4 ＇ of the two, making and structure are all complicated.In addition, because this kind structure need be accomplished measuring ability through the mechanical rotation of fly rod 4 ＇, reliability is limited by the mechanical component of fly rod 4 ＇.
Summary of the invention
The technical problem that the utility model will solve provides a kind of improved print cartridge, need not parts such as floating drum, fly rod and shading member, has solved print cartridge Electrifier frame, photoreceptor complex structure, the insecure problem of performance.
For solving the problems of the technologies described above; The technical scheme that the utility model provides is: print cartridge is removably mounted on the ink-jet printer cartridge seat; Wherein the both sides, print cartridge installation position of ink-jet printer cartridge seat are respectively equipped with lasing light emitter and photoreceptor; The acceptance point of the laser detection point of transparent Electrifier frame, photoreceptor and photoreceptor is located along the same line on the luminous point of lasing light emitter and the print cartridge, and said print cartridge comprises and is used to the box main body that holds ink and have ink outlet port; The intracavity inter-connection that inner chamber that transparent Electrifier frame, photoreceptor constitutes and toner cartridge main body hold ink; Said transparent Electrifier frame, photoreceptor is two transparent reflecting plates that are mutually angle; The detection light beam that said lasing light emitter sends passes two transparent reflecting plates.
As preferably, the thickness of every transparent reflecting plate is less than 0.8mm, and this structure can make transparent reflecting plate keep good light transmittance.
As preferably, the angle angle of two transparent reflecting plates is between 20 °～120 °, and this structure can effectively be controlled transparent reflecting plate itself to detecting the reflex of light beam.
As preferably, the inner chamber that said toner cartridge main body holds ink is divided into main chamber and secondary chamber, and secondary chamber is connected through the through hole through bottom, two chambeies with main chamber, and this structure can improve the accuracy of detection of ink surplus in the print cartridge.
The transparent Electrifier frame, photoreceptor operation principle that the utility model relates to is following: lasing light emitter luminous point and photoreceptor acceptance point on laser detection point on the transparent Electrifier frame, photoreceptor and the printer ink cassette holder are located along the same line; When ink content in the print cartridge is lower than laser detection and puts horizontal plane of living in (shown in accompanying drawing 4); The detection light beam that lasing light emitter sends does not receive the refractive effect of ink; Pass two transparent reflecting plates smoothly and arrive photoreceptor, printer sends the cue of changing print cartridge according to this; When ink content in the print cartridge is equal to or higher than laser detection and puts horizontal plane of living in (shown in accompanying drawing 5); After the detection light beam that lasing light emitter sends passes first transparent reflecting plate; Cover the influence that laser detection is put the ink refraction of horizontal plane of living in because of receiving during through laser detection point, circuit departs from, and passes the position outside the directive photoreceptor behind second reflecting plate; Photoreceptor detects the detection light beam that sends less than lasing light emitter, so printer does not send the cue of changing print cartridge.
Can find out according to such scheme and operation principle and the utlity model has following advantage: one, floating drum, fly rod and shading member need not installed in the box body inside of print cartridge, have simplified print cartridge box body manufacture craft, have increased the space of storage ink in the print cartridge simultaneously.Two, through ink the refraction action that detects light beam is realized the detection of ink surplus in the print cartridge; Adopt the transparent Electrifier frame, photoreceptor of fixed structure; Need not use mobile machine parts in the testing process, therefore increase the structural reliability of print cartridge like fly rod and so in the prior art.
