In the print cartridge 100 of the present embodiment that as above consists of, use the prism 132 that is arranged on inside to detect the surplus of ink in following mode.
C. the detection method of ink surplus:
(a) of Fig. 4 and (b) be the key diagram that the situation of the surplus of using prism 132 to detect the ink in print cartridges 100 is shown.At first, as previously mentioned, print cartridge 100 is installed in along on the reciprocating balladeur train housing 22 of main scanning direction.Under installment state, the prism 132 in print cartridge 100 as (a) of Fig. 4 and (b) is shown in two the mutually orthogonal faces (reflecting surface 132a and reflecting surface 132b) that dispose prism 132 on main scanning direction.In addition, at balladeur train 20 along path that main scanning direction moves midway, below the position be provided with test section 200, and the illuminating part 202 that is made of infrared light-emitting diode and the light accepting part 204 that is made of phototransistor are set up in parallel inside at test section 200 along main scanning direction.And, when along with the movement of balladeur train 20, print cartridge 100 during the top by test section 200, come the light of self-luminescent part 202 vertically to incide the bottom surface 132c of prism 132.
(a) of Fig. 4 and (b) in illustrated prisms 132 in movement along with balladeur train 20, print cartridge 100 be positioned at test section 200 directly over state.At this moment, as shown in Fig. 4 (a), be positioned at the position more top than the summit of prism 132 if be provided with the liquid level (ink face) of the interior ink of the transducer room 130 of prism 132, reflecting surface 132a and reflecting surface 132b contact with ink.Under this state, even the light (incident light) that incides prism 132 from illuminating part 202 shines reflecting surface 132a, can not reflect yet, as shown in the arrow of thick dashed line in Fig. 4 (a), this incident light sees through the ink in transducer room 130.Therefore, the light of illuminating part 202 is not detected by light accepting part 204.In this case, control part 60 is judged as at least at the interior residual ink that has of transducer room 130.
On the other hand, along with the inks in transducer room 130 be consumed, when the ink face is lower than the summit of prism 132 as shown in Fig. 4 (b), in the part of exposing from ink of prism 132, air contacts with reflecting surface 132a and reflecting surface 132b.And, if the ink in transducer room 130 is less than scheduled volume (datum quantity) and causes the ink face lower than predetermined height (reference position), incident illumination is mapped to the part that contacts with air of reflecting surface 132a, thus reflecting like that as shown in the arrow of thick dashed line in Fig. 4 (b).The illumination of reflecting on this reflecting surface 132a is mapped to the part that contacts with air of another reflecting surface 132b, downwards the reflection and detected by light accepting part 204.In this case, the ink in transducer room 130 remains seldom, so the inks that control part 60 is judged as in print cartridge 100 are used up very soon.
At this, be installed on ink-jet printer 10 and the print cartridge 100 that is using was replaced by other print cartridge 100 sometimes before the ink of inside is used up.In this case, print cartridge 100 temporary safe-keepings that unload from ink-jet printer 10 are installed on ink-jet printer 10 in other place in the future again.
(a)～(d) of Fig. 5 is the key diagram of the distribution of the ink in print cartridge 100 when the print cartridge that unloads from ink-jet printer 10 being shown being installed after 100 days situation about changing.Now, suppose print cartridge 100 by the state before unloading from ink-jet printer 10 under, as shown in Fig. 5 (a), it is empty that the ink in ink chamber 120 becomes, the interior residual ink over half that the volume of transducer room 130 is arranged of transducer room 130.If under this state, print cartridge 100 is unloaded and places upside down and take care of, as shown in Fig. 5 (b), the interior ink of transducer room 130 under action of gravitation via connecting path 134 to ink chamber's 120 adverse currents.Ink stops when the ink face of transducer room 130 is reduced to position lower than the opening 134a of connecting path 134 to the adverse current of ink chamber 120.Consequently, as shown in Fig. 5 (c), at the interior residual ink that the amount suitable with the volume of ratio open 134a transducer room 130 on the lower (the only about half of amount of the volume of transducer room 130 in the present embodiment) arranged of transducer room 130.
To be arranged on ink-jet printer 10 at the print cartridge 100 of keeping under this state in the future.At this moment, as shown in Fig. 5 (d), because the only about half of ink of the volume of transducer room 130 (ink of Duoing than datum quantity) remains in transducer room 130, therefore be judged as at the interior residual ink that has of print cartridge 100.
At this, if most of ink adverse current of transducer room is to ink chamber print cartridge is unloaded the process of carrying out keeping from ink-jet printer, when again being arranged on print cartridge on ink-jet printer, only residual in transducer room have an ink that lacks than datum quantity, although therefore residual in ink chamber the ink error detection is arranged is that ink is used up.On the other hand, in the print cartridge 100 of the present embodiment, as mentioned above, print cartridge can residual ink of Duo than datum quantity in transducer room 130 during to the installing again of ink-jet printer 10, so can to avoid error detection be the situation that ink is used up.
In addition, not only as mentioned above print cartridge 100 is being turned upside down placement (namely, make the upper surface of print cartridge 100 down) when taking care of, when facing down beyond upper surface taken care of, also might occur in the top ink of ratio open 134a under action of gravitation to the situation of ink chamber's 120 adverse currents.But in the print cartridge 100 of the present embodiment, the opening 134a of connecting path 134 is arranged on the position of substantial middle of transducer room 130 (with reference to (a) of Fig. 3 and (b)).Therefore, even if the arbitrary ink generation adverse current under action of gravitation that faces down when taking care of that makes print cartridge 100, in transducer room 130, with the only about half of ink of residual volume, in the time of therefore can not occurring in print cartridge 100 and again installed, error detection is not the situation that ink is used up yet.
In addition, so that the mode that connecting path 134 rises towards ink chamber 120 when placing print cartridge 100 (for example, when making the placed face down in figure left side of (a) of Fig. 3), although the adverse current of the ink that caused by gravity can not occur, but because the air in transducer room 130 expands, the top ink of ratio open 134a might adverse current.In this case, opening 134a by connecting path 134 is arranged on the position of substantial middle of transducer room 130, therefore due to the interior residual only about half of ink that volume is arranged of transducer room 130, in the time of print cartridge 100 can not occuring and again installed, error detection is not the situation that ink is used up.
Certainly, even when having avoided again being arranged on print cartridge 100 on ink-jet printer 10, error detection is the situation that ink is used up, cause that due to adverse current occuring the quantity of ink in transducer room 130 reduces, the moment that therefore exists after having consumed a little ink is the worry that ink is used up by error detection.But after print cartridge 100 was installed a period of time again, adverse current turned back to transducer room 130 to the ink of ink chamber 120, did not therefore have such worry.Below this point is described.
(a)～(c) of Fig. 6 is the key diagram that the situation that adverse current when being arranged on again print cartridge 100 on ink-jet printer 10 returns to the ink of ink chamber 120 to transducer room 130 is shown.In the stage that print cartridge 100 is arranged on again on ink-jet printer 10, as shown in Fig. 6 (a), ink separately is present in ink chamber 120 and transducer room 130.After placing a period of time under this state, as shown in Fig. 6 (b), the ink in ink chamber 120 flows in transducer room 130 under action of gravitation.
In addition, in the print cartridge 100 of the present embodiment, under the state that print cartridge 100 is arranged on ink-jet printer 10, so that connecting path 134 arranges print cartridge towards the mode that transducer room 130 hangs down, but the set-up mode according to connecting path 134, under installment state, the part of connecting path 134 is sometimes also to the direction setting opposite with gravity.In this case, the inks in ink chamber 120 are difficult to flow by gravitational force in transducer room 130, but Once you begin printing, and ink is consumed, and becomes negative pressure in transducer room 130, and therefore ink is introduced into and in flow sensor chamber 130 under the effect of negative pressure.
Result in ink flow sensor like this chamber 130 is that as shown in Fig. 6 (c), adverse current all turns back to transducer room 130 to the ink of ink chamber 120.Therefore, begin to print post consumption a little ink after can error detection be not or not ink is used up, adverse current also can have no residue ground to the ink of ink chamber 120 and use.
Above, various embodiments are illustrated, but the utility model is not limited to above-mentioned whole embodiment, and can implements in every way in the scope that does not break away from the utility model purport.For example, in the print cartridge of the present embodiment, the situation of the position of the liquid level of the ink that uses prism detecting sensor chamber is illustrated, but the position of the liquid level of ink also can use the detection part (electrode etc.) beyond prism to detect.
In addition, the utility model is not limited on the balladeur train housing that consists of with the injector head one, the ink-jet printer of the frame mo(u)ld top half of print cartridge is installed, and also can be applicable to hold the retainer of print cartridge and the ink-jet printer from the frame type that injector head is arranged respectively.
