A-2. black jar formation:
Fig. 3 shows the profile of the detailed structure of the China ink jar 102 that is arranged in jar case 100.At first, Fig. 3 (a) shows the state of 10 supply inks in jet printer.As shown in the figure, thus the inside of China ink jars 102 through dividing wall 112 by about separate become that air chamber 114 and ink chamber 116 form two chamber structures, these air chambers 114 and ink chamber 116 through below the connection stream 118 that is provided be communicated with.
In the air chamber 114 on the right side of the dividing wall 112 in being formed at figure, be provided with air open bore 120 at sidewall, this air open bore 120 is seen through film 122 and is covered, said see through film forbid liquid such as ink through but gases such as permission air pass through.In addition, in this air chamber 114, do not hold ink.
On the other hand, in the ink chamber 116 in the left side that is formed at dividing wall 112, hold ink.Foot (below that is communicated with stream 118) in this ink chamber 116 is provided with flow export 128, on flow export 128, is connected with tube connector 104.Ink in the ink chamber 116 is supplied to the injector head 22 (with reference to Fig. 2) of balladeur train 20 via tube connector 104 from flow export 128.In addition, be formed with on the top of ink chamber 116 and exceed one section part than air chamber 114, on the sidewall of air chamber 114 sides of this part, inlet 124 is along the horizontal direction opening, and in the state shown in (a) of Fig. 3, inlet 124 is by sealing-plug 126 sealings.
In the China ink jar 102 that so constitutes, utilize the principle ink of mariotte flask to flow out from flow export 128 with stable flow rate.Promptly; The ink surface 114L that air chamber 114 is in the below of atmosphere opening state, air chamber 114 receives atmospheric pressure; Relative therewith; The ink chamber 116 that is communicated with air chamber 114 through connection stream 118 is sealed; Pressure (atmospheric pressure) because the pressure (hydraulic pressure) that like this, the ink in pressure (being lower than atmospheric pressure) that is applied to the ink surface 116L in the ink chamber 116 and the ink chamber 116 is produced superposes on pressure that forms and the ink surface 114L that is applied to air chamber 114 sides is in equilibrium.Yet; Along with ink flows out from flow export 128; When the ink surface 114L of air chamber 114 sides dropped to the upper end that is lower than connection stream 118, the air in the air chamber 114 moved to ink chamber 116 through being communicated with stream 118, and the inks in the ink chamber 116 are through being communicated with stream 118 to air chamber 114 side shiftings; Owing to such reason; The ink surface 114L of air chamber 114 sides rises and returns original height, and the ink surface 116L in the ink chamber 116 descends, and pressure reaches balanced once more in air chamber 114 sides and ink chamber's 116 sides.Therefore; Ink surface 116L in ink chamber 116 drops to before the position of the upper end that is communicated with stream 118; The height of ink surface 116L in the operating pressure of releasing inks from flow export 128 and the ink chamber 116 is irrelevant, and said operating pressure is to be steady state value with the pressure of the pressure that produces to the ink of flow export 128 from the upper end that is communicated with stream 118 and atmospheric pressure stack formation and its.As a result, ink flows out from flow export 128 with stable flow rate.
In addition; Because the ink surface 114L of air chamber 114 sides is set at the position of the injector head 22 that is lower than the balladeur train 20 that is equipped on ink-jet printer 10, thus can be not because the pressure of the ink of releasing from flow export 128 is revealed ink and the negative pressure through generation injector head 22 in drinks up ink from the nozzle of injector head 22.
In addition, in China ink jar 102, after the ink in the ink chamber 116 reduces, can replenish inks from inlet 124.In addition, in the China ink jars 102 of present embodiment, be provided with the lower limit line, on the side in ink chamber 116 (face relative), be provided with to approximate horizontal the lower limit wall 130 that the lower limit line is shown with dividing wall 112 at the place, top position that is communicated with stream 118.The ink surface 116L in the ink chamber 116 of replenishing of ink carry out before dropping to lower limit wall 130, when replenishing ink, the direction shown in the thick-line arrow of China ink jars 102 in Fig. 3 (a) fallen carry out replenishing of ink.
In (b) of Fig. 3, show the state of the China ink jar 102 that fell for additional ink.As shown in the figure, when falling China ink jars 102,,, can replenish inks to ink chamber 116 from inlet 124 so remove sealing-plug 126 because the peristome of inlet 124 is up.At this moment, air chamber 114 is positioned at the top of ink chamber 116, and therefore when replenishing ink through inlet 124, ink can not flow into air chamber 114.
In addition; In the China ink jar 102 of present embodiment; The height that under the state that falls down shown in (b) of Fig. 3, is straightened the lower limit wall 130 that is arranged on the bottom surface is set to the position that is higher than flow export 128; So if the ink surface 116L in ink chamber 116 replenishes ink before dropping to lower limit wall 130; Then remain in the ink chamber 116 ink conglomerates than lower limit wall 130 more near that side of flow export 128, therefore can under opening flow export 128 does not up leave the situation of ink surface, not avoid air to get into tube connector 104.
If so replenish ink, then, can supply inks to the injector head 22 of balladeur train 20 via tube connector 104 through after sealing inlets 124, erecting the state of (a) that return to Fig. 3 with before making China ink jar 102 on the contrary with sealing-plug 126 to ink chamber 116.
At this, as stated, China ink jar 102 is to constitute with the mode of being fallen to replenish ink, so if China ink jar 102 is completely fixed on the ink-jet printer 10, then when replenishing ink, can not fall black jar 102.On the other hand,, then falling China ink jars 102 o'clock, because China ink jars 102 separates with ink-jet printer 10, so thereby exist and tube connector 104 is applied load take over 104 damaged or connect situation about coming off if can be from the ink-jet printer 10 China ink jars 10 be unloaded.Therefore, in the ink-jet printer 10 of present embodiment, a jar case 100 built-in black jar 102 through following installation prevents when replenishing ink, tube connector 104 to be applied load.
B. the installation of the jar case of present embodiment constitutes:
