Fig. 3A is a cross-sectional view of an ink cartridge according to an embodiment of the present invention, cut along a front-rear direction thereof through an air guide chamber; fig. 3B is a cross-sectional view of the ink cartridge according to an embodiment of the present invention, cut along the front-rear direction thereof through a partition between the air guide chamber and the buffer chamber; fig. 3C is a cross-sectional view of the ink cartridge according to the embodiment of the present invention, which is cut through the buffer chamber along the front-back direction.
As shown in fig. 2A and 3A, the ink cartridge C further includes an air guide chamber 13 and a buffer chamber 14 disposed adjacent to the chamber 11, wherein the upper side of the air guide chamber 13 communicates with the first air guide hole 21, and the lower side of the air guide chamber 13 communicates with the second air guide hole 122, and basically, the first air guide hole 21 and the second air guide hole 122 are opposed in the air guide chamber 13, so that the first air guide hole 21 and the second air guide hole 122 communicate through the air guide chamber 13, and air entering through the first air guide hole 21 or air entering through the second air guide hole 122 reaches the air guide chamber 13, that is, the air guide chamber 13 functions to connect the first air guide hole 21 and the second air guide hole 122, and of course, other forms of structures for communicating the first air guide hole 21 and the second air guide hole 122 may be employed, for example, a pipe formed in the main body 1 or the top cover 2, in which case, the first air guide hole 21 and the second air guide hole 122 may not necessarily be disposed opposite, in particular, the first air vent 21 may be disposed at any other position of the ink cartridge according to the structural requirements.
The air guide chamber 13 and the buffer chamber 14 are partitioned by a partition 15, and as shown in fig. 2A and 3B, the partition 15 is further provided with a second communication hole 151 for communicating the air guide chamber 13 and the buffer chamber 14, as shown in fig. 3C, a third communication hole 141 is provided below the buffer chamber 14, and a filter member 16 is further installed above the third communication hole 141, the filter member 16 allowing air to pass therethrough but not ink to pass therethrough, thereby preventing ink in the chamber 11 from flowing backward and overflowing.
The method of using the ink cartridge C is described below with reference to the drawings.
As described above, before the ink cartridge C is used, the first air-guide hole 21 is sealed by the first sealing member 91, and the second air-guide hole 122 and the ink outlet 121 are sealed together by the second sealing member 92. For a new user, even if the new user does not know to remove the first sealing member 91 first, but directly removes the protective cover located at the ink outlet, and then mounts the ink cartridge C to the inkjet printer, since the ink cartridge C is provided with the second air guide hole 122 communicated with the ink outlet 121, the second air guide hole 122 is communicated with the external atmosphere while the ink suction needle pierces the second sealing member 92; for the old user, because the conventional first air guide hole 21 and its sealing element 91 are still arranged in the ink cartridge C, the old user can remove the first sealing element 91 according to the old habit, then remove the protecting cover located at the ink outlet 121, and then install the ink cartridge, at this time, the first air guide hole 21 and the second air guide hole 122 are simultaneously communicated with the external atmosphere, but because the first air guide hole 21 and the second air guide hole 122 are communicated through the air guide cavity 13 or the pipeline, the first air guide hole 21 and the second air guide hole 122 can simultaneously play a role in balancing the air pressure inside the cavity 11.
As shown in fig. 3A to 3C, the external atmosphere enters the air-guide chamber 13 through the second air-guide hole 122 in the direction of arrow d1, and then enters the buffer chamber 14 through the second communication hole 151 provided in the partition plate 15, and when the air passes through the filter member 16 located in the buffer chamber 14, the foreign matters are filtered, and then enters the chamber body 11 through the third communication hole 141 and the first communication hole 121.
In the ink cartridge C according to the present embodiment, by providing the double air vents, that is, the first air vent 21 sealed by the first sealing member 91 and the second air vent 122 sealed by the second sealing member 92 together with the ink outlet 121, it is possible to use the ink cartridge by both the old and the new users.
Example two
Fig. 4 is a perspective view of an ink cartridge according to a second embodiment of the present invention.
The present embodiment differs from the above-described embodiments in that the second air-guide hole 122 is not provided adjacent to the ink outlet 121, as shown in the drawing, the ink cartridge C further includes a handle 13 provided on the cartridge body, the handle 13 being used to restrict the movement of the ink cartridge in a direction opposite to its mounting direction after the ink cartridge is mounted, the second air-guide hole 122 in the present embodiment is provided at a position opposite to the handle 13 and is sealed by the third sealing member 93; a puncturing member (not shown) for puncturing the third sealing member 93 is provided on the handle 13.
Likewise, the second air vent 122 of the present embodiment is still in communication with the air guide chamber 13, i.e., the second air vent 122 is in communication with the first air vent 21, the handle 13 will be deformed from front to back by the pressing of the end user's finger or the pressing of the side wall of the ink jet printer during the process of mounting the ink cartridge C to the ink jet printer, and the third sealing member 93 will be pierced by the piercing member during the deformation of the handle 13, thereby opening the second air vent 122.
Preferably, the puncturing member is arranged at one side of the handle 13 close to the box body, and the puncturing member 13 is a protrusion or a conical body arranged on the handle 13. Therefore, the ink cartridge C according to the present embodiment can also be used by both the old and new users.
To sum up, the utility model relates to an ink horn C is through setting up two air guide holes, except the first air guide hole 21 of conventional setting, still sets up the second air guide hole 122 with first air guide hole 21 intercommunication, and this second air guide hole 122 can be relieved sealedly by the part of inkjet printer or ink horn self in ink horn C's installation to make ink horn C can compromise the use of new and old user to the ink horn simultaneously.
