Definitions

  • the invention relates to a cover device for protecting the nozzle area of an ink jet print head, which is sealingly releasably applied to the ink jet print head and forms a cavity open to the nozzles, in which ink liquid is conveyed through the nozzles.
  • Such covering devices known from DE-OS 29 29 742 and DE-OS 32 37 411 are used as components of a writing device to cover the ink jet writing head of the writing device at certain intervals for cleaning purposes. For this purpose, such cover devices are pressed against the end region of the ink jet recording head until the cleaning process is finished.
  • the invention is based on the object to provide measures to a filled with ink liquid ink jet head for a long time, especially as an individual part, for. B. as a spare part, can be stored and transported without the risk of drying of the ink liquid in the nozzle area exists and without entrapped or penetrating air bubbles can lead to a chemical change in the ink liquid.
  • At least part of the cavity can have elastically stretchable walls.
  • an ink expansion tank communicating with the cavity can also be advantageously provided, the volume of which can be increased elastically.
  • the covering device according to the invention is particularly simple in construction and easy to assemble if it is constructed as a funnel-like, rotationally symmetrical element, the filling side of which, with an end ring surface, rests radially outside the area of the nozzles on the end face of the ink jet recording head via an elastically flexible seal and thus forms the cavity to the nozzles and whose outlet pipe contains the ventilation channel and is closed by a screw cap.
  • a reliable fastening possibility results from the fact that the cover device is screwed to the ink jet writing head by means of a union nut which allows the discharge pipe to pass through.
  • the solution is provided that the cover device is fastened to the ink jet writing head by means of a fastening cap that passes through the discharge pipe centrally and encompasses the cover device on all sides, which has at least two symmetrically distributed, radially inwardly extending projections which, at a predetermined angular position, have gaps between openings Holding elements of the ink jet recording head can be carried out and can be hooked behind the holding elements by a rotary movement.
  • a particularly reliable method for producing a cover device according to the invention is characterized in that the cover device is fastened to the ink jet recording head when the venting channel is open, and then ink liquid is conveyed through the nozzles into the cavity of the covering device and through the venting channel to the outside until no air pockets are more noticeable in the cavity, and that finally the opening of the ventilation channel is closed.
  • the ink jet recording head 1 consists of a nozzle channel block 3 made of plastic, forming ink channels 2, on the end face of which a nozzle plate 4 is pressed tightly.
  • the pressing forces are applied by a cover element 5 which is pulled against the nozzle plate 4 by means of a union nut 6.
  • the union nut 6 is on the metallic threaded ring 23 screwed, which is fastened together with an annular disc element 20 on a cylindrical neck of the ink jet recording head.
  • An ink jet recording head covered by the covering device designed according to the invention can be stored for a long time.
