Description

Ink-jet printer

Technical field

It the utility model is related to printing device technical field, and in particular, to a kind of ink-jet printer.

Background technology

Ink-jet printer 1 is printed by spraying ink from record head to recording medium (such as paper sheet for printing).

Fig. 1 to Fig. 4 schematically shows an example of existing ink-jet printer 1.Hereinafter, for the ease of retouching State, when using ink-jet printer by user on the basis of location, ink-jet printer is defined towards the direction of user For " preceding ", direction is defined as " rear " on the other hand, and the left-hand side of user is defined as " left side ", and the right-hand side of user is " right side ".

As depicted in figs. 1 and 2, ink-jet printer 1 includes printer body 10 and is arranged on the one of printer body 10 The black housing unit 20 of side.

Printer body 10 can accommodate the grade component of record portion 29 in inside.Black housing unit 20, which is fixedly mounted in, beats Certain side (for example, forward position by right end shown in Fig. 1 and Fig. 2) of print machine body 10, and accommodate to be supplied to beating The ink of print machine body 10.

Black housing unit 20 includes multiple black receiving portions 21, the frame section 25 and covering framework of the multiple black receiving portions 21 of covering The lid portion 26 in portion 25.

As shown in FIG., black housing unit 20 includes five black receiving portions for accommodating the ink with identical or different color 21 and by corresponding communicating pipe 28 to record portion 29 provide a variety of colors ink, to carry out printing.Specifically, refer to Fig. 2, when being seen (from front to back) before black housing unit 20, black housing unit 20 is disposed with the ink for accommodating black Black receiving portion 21 and for accommodating four of four kinds of color inks black receiving portions 21 respectively.

As shown in figure 3, each ink receiving portion 21 includes the ink storage body 211 for storing ink and is arranged at ink storage The top of body 211 and the refilling portion 212 with the refilling opening 212a connected with the inside of ink storage body 211.

Fig. 1 and Fig. 2 are gone back to again, and frame section 25 is used to fix multiple black receiving portions 21 and is used as its outer packaging.Illustrating In embodiment, frame section 25 is substantially in cube, and has multiple opening portions 252 in top surface.Each ink receiving portion 21 Refilling portion 212 be in corresponding opening portion 252 and upwardly extended from the opening portion 252.With continued reference to Fig. 2, frame section 25 further include the multiple corking portions 253 for the top surface for being as pivotally connected to frame section 25.Each corking portion 253 is used for sealing pair The refilling opening 212a answered, to prevent the evaporation of ink in black receiving portion 21 or leakage.Each comfortable sealing in corking portion 253 is corresponding The first closed position (not shown) of refilling opening 212a and the first open position P32 for exposing corresponding refilling opening 212a The first pivot axis of spaced winding AX3 of (Fig. 2) is pivotably connected to frame section 25.

Lid portion 26 is configured to be pivotably connected to frame section around the second pivot axis AX2 extended in left-right direction 25.Lid portion 26 can be between the second closed position P21 (Fig. 1) and the second open position P22 (Fig. 2) relative to frame section 25 Pivot.When corking portion 253 is located at the first closed position, can be covered entirely positioned at the lid portion 26 of the second closed position P21 The top surface of frame section 25, and when lid portion 26 is located at the second open position P22, positioned at each of the first open position P32 Corking portion 253 exposes corresponding refilling opening 212a.

As shown in Figure 3 and Figure 4, ink-jet printer 1 further includes the additional reservoir 22 being arranged in printer body 10.Auxiliary Container 22 makes the inner cavity of additional reservoir 22 be connected with ambient atmosphere by being arranged on the connected entrance 227 at top, meanwhile, additional reservoir 22 are connected by communicating pipe 23 with black receiving portion 21, in this way, additional reservoir 22 may be used as ink in black receiving portion 21 because The liquid-accumulating container of ink is overflowed in storage during to be overflowed situations such as carrying, and as black receiving portion 21 connected with ambient atmosphere Connect container.Black receiving portion 21 and additional reservoir 22 collectively constitute the ink-storage system 30 of ink-jet printer 1.

Due to being provided with connected entrance 227 on second container 22, when carrying ink-jet printer 1 sends out the ink-jet printer 1 When the change or generation air pressure or the variation of temperature of raw posture, second container 22 is flowed into from the first container 21 via communicating pipe 23 Ink be likely to escape to the inside of printer body 10,10 inside of pollution printer body and shadow by connected entrance 227 Ring the print quality of ink-jet printer 1.

Therefore, it is necessary to a kind of ink-jet printer is proposed, to solve to ask more than existing in the prior art at least in part Topic.

Utility model content

The utility model is completed to overcome the above problem at least in part, its object is to, there is provided Yi Zhonggai Into ink-jet printer, it can reduce ink and escape to possibility inside ink-jet printer, so as to ink-jet printer Internal parts play a protective role.

The utility model provides a kind of ink-jet printer, it includes the first container, second container, record portion, communicating pipe With the first ink absorber.The first container includes ink storage body and refilling portion, and ink storage body is used to accommodate ink, and refilling portion is set In ink storage body and with the refilling opening connected with the inside of ink storage body.Second container is provided with connection second container Inner cavity and exterior connected entrance.Record portion is used to spray the ink supplied from the first container.Communicating pipe connection the first container The inner cavity of ink storage body and the inner cavity of second container.First ink absorber is arranged in each surface of the second container On at least one.

Ink-jet printer according to the present utility model at least one in each surface of second container by setting First ink absorber, the ink absorption that the first ink absorber can be caused to be leaked from second container, so as to keep away Exempt to influence print quality to ink-jet printer inside from the first container via the ink leakage for flowing into second container communicating pipe.Root According to the embodiment of the utility model blotting effect than more significant and simple in structure.

Alternatively, the ink-jet printer further includes the second ink absorber, and second ink absorber is arranged on institute State the lower section of the first container.The program can cause the second ink by setting the second ink absorber in the lower section of the first container Water absorbent absorbs the ink leak from the first container drippage, so as to avoid the ink leakage of the first container and cause the pollution of environment.

Alternatively, the outside bottom surface of the first container is contacted with second ink absorber.The program is by making Two ink absorbers are contacted with the outside bottom surface of the first container, can further improve the assimilation effect of the second ink absorber.

Alternatively, first ink absorber contacts with each other with second ink absorber or in being wholely set.Should Scheme can further reduce the possibility inside ink leakage to ink-jet printer.

Alternatively, first ink absorber and the second ink absorber arrangement separate, and described first Flow path is provided between ink absorber and second ink absorber.The program can balance the first ink absorber and The amount for the ink that two ink absorbers absorb, is excessively overflowed with the ink for preventing one of ink absorber from absorbing, from And influence print quality.

Alternatively, the flow path is being internally provided with the 3rd ink absorber.The program inside flow path by setting Ink absorption in flow path, can be flowed into inside ink-jet printer and shadow by three ink absorbers so as to reduce ink Ring the possibility of print quality.
