As shown in fig. 1 to 4, an ink bag according to an embodiment of the present disclosure includes a housing 100, a first film 200, and a second film 300.
Specifically, the housing 100 has a first face 101 and a second face 102 that are opposite; the first film 200 is hermetically arranged on the first surface 101 to define a first cavity 400 in the housing 100, the first cavity 400 is divided into a first water passing cavity 401, a second water passing cavity 402, a third water passing cavity 403 and a fourth water passing cavity 404 by a partition plate, and the first water passing cavity 401 is communicated with the water inlet hole 103; the second film 300 is hermetically arranged on the second surface 102 to define a second cavity 500 in the housing 100, the second cavity 500 is divided into a fifth water passing cavity 501, a sixth water passing cavity 502 and a seventh water passing cavity 503 by a partition, and the seventh water passing cavity 503 is communicated with the water outlet hole 104; after the ink enters from the water inlet 103, the ink flows out through the first water passing cavity 401, the fifth water passing cavity 501, the second water passing cavity 402, the sixth water passing cavity 502, the third water passing cavity 403, the fourth water passing cavity 404, the seventh water passing cavity 503 and the water outlet 104 in sequence.
Therefore, after ink enters the casing 100 through the water inlet 103, the ink enters the fifth water passing cavity 501 through the first water passing cavity 401, enters the second water passing cavity 402 after being filled with the ink, enters the sixth water passing cavity 502, enters the fourth water passing cavity 404 through the third water passing cavity 403, and finally enters the seventh water passing cavity 503 to flow out of the water outlet 104, so that the fluid pressure can be effectively reduced, the bubbles of the ink can be effectively reduced, the flow rate can be uniform, and the purpose of stably supplying the ink to the printing head without bubbles can be achieved.
In some examples, the water passing channel 105 is disposed in the sixth water passing chamber 502 to communicate with the third water passing chamber 403, and the water passing channel 105 is provided with a buffer structure to repeatedly communicate or isolate the sixth water passing chamber 502 with the third water passing chamber 403. Therefore, the pressure of the ink outlet is further ensured to be stable through the buffer structure.
Specifically, the buffer structure comprises a first pressing sheet 601, a second pressing sheet 602, a third pressing sheet 603 and a sealing ring 604; the first pressing sheet 601 is elastically covered on one end of the water passing channel 105 facing the third water passing cavity 403, the sealing ring 604 is arranged on one end of the water passing channel 105 facing the sixth water passing cavity 502, the second pressing sheet 602 is covered on the sealing ring 604 and is provided with a pressing rod 6021 which is suitable for being inserted into the sealing ring 604 and the water passing channel 105, and the third pressing sheet 603 is elastically covered on the second pressing sheet 602. Therefore, the third pressing plate 603 presses the second pressing plate 602 and the sealing ring 604, the sixth water passing cavity 502 and the third water passing cavity 403 are isolated, the pressures of the two water passing cavities are not affected by each other, and the stability of the pressure of the ink outlet is ensured. When the ink in the third water passing cavity 403 gradually flows out, negative pressure is formed in the third water passing cavity 403, when the negative pressure is large enough, the first pressing plate 601 pushes the pressing rod 6021 of the second pressing plate 602 backward, the pressing rod 6021 and the sealing ring 604 are also pushed open, the third water passing cavity 403 is communicated with the sixth water passing cavity 502, the sixth water passing cavity 502 is positive pressure at the moment, the third water passing cavity 403 is negative pressure, the ink in the sixth water passing cavity 502 flows into the third water passing cavity 403, the pressure of the third water passing cavity 403 gradually rises at the moment, the second pressing plate 602 presses the sealing ring 604 again, and the sixth water passing cavity 502 is isolated from the third water passing cavity 403, and the process is repeated.

Therefore, the second spring 606 presses the second pressing plate 602 and the sealing ring 604, the sixth water passing cavity 502 and the third water passing cavity 403 are isolated, the pressures of the two water passing cavities are not affected by each other, and the stability of the pressure of the ink outlet is ensured. When the ink in the third water passing cavity 403 gradually flows out, negative pressure is formed in the third water passing cavity 403, when the negative pressure is large enough, the first spring 605 is compressed, the first pressing plate 601 pushes the pressing rod 6021 of the second pressing plate 602 backward, the pressing rod 6021 and the sealing ring 604 are pushed open, the third water passing cavity 403 is communicated with the sixth water passing cavity 502, the sixth water passing cavity 502 is at positive pressure at the moment, the third water passing cavity 403 is at negative pressure, the ink in the sixth water passing cavity 502 flows into the third water passing cavity 403, the pressure in the third water passing cavity 403 gradually rises, the first spring 605 gradually recovers, when the elastic force of the first spring 605 is smaller than that of the second spring 606, the second pressing plate 602 presses the sealing ring again, and the sixth water passing cavity 502 is isolated from the third water passing cavity 403, and the process is repeated. Therefore, the spring forces of the first spring 605 and the second spring 606 respectively act on two sides of the water passing channel, and the pressure of the ink is added to form a dynamic balance, so that the pressure can be further adjusted, and the effect of stably supplying ink to the printing head is achieved.

Therefore, the elastic force of the spring can be uniform through the round table 107 and the groove 106, and the sealing ring 604 is not stressed unevenly.
Optionally, a cylinder 6022 is protruded from a cross section of the second pressing piece 602 facing the third pressing piece 603, and a second spring 606 is sleeved on the cylinder 6022 and connected to the third pressing piece 603.

Optionally, a filter screen 700 is disposed on the fourth through hole 1010. Therefore, after entering the housing 100 through the water inlet hole 103, the ink enters the fifth water passing cavity 501 through the second through hole 108, enters the second water passing cavity 402 through the third through hole 109 after being filled with the ink, enters the sixth water passing cavity 502 after impurities and bubbles are filtered by the filter screen 700, enters the third water passing cavity 403 through the gap between the press rod 6021 and the seal ring 604 and the housing 100, enters the fourth water passing cavity 404 through the fifth through hole 1011, enters the seventh water passing cavity 503 through the sixth through hole 1012, and finally flows out of the water outlet hole 104, so that the bubbles can be further reduced through the filter screen 700.
