Definitions
- US-A-5 495 877 is a refill device for one Inkjet printhead known.
- the device has a holder for inserting the printhead with snap elements around the nozzle plate and an air supply opening to a bubble generator of the Printhead for sealing against one sealing plate each to keep.
- a seal carrier becomes attached, which seals an air supply opening in the lid.
- a cannula holder is attached to the holder a hollow needle a ball in a filler opening of the print head presses into the ink supply space. The other end of the The hollow needle is pointed.
- US-A-5 607 003 shows one Refill device with a hard drill (36).
- the present invention has for its object a Refill device to specify which is also for printheads suitable without filler opening in the lid. This task is accomplished by solved the combination of features of claim 1.
- the refill device 1 shown is for a print head 2 determines the bottom of a nozzle plate 3 and an air supply opening 4 to a bubble generator.
- the lid 5 is one Ventilation opening 6 to one arranged in the ink supply space "Lung" attached.
- the refill device 1 comprises a holder 10 with a bottom 11, a rear wall 12 and two side walls 13 for the exact Position the printhead 2.
- On the back wall 12 is on top arm 15 pivotable about a vertical axis 14 with a through hole 16 attached. In the working position shown is the arm 15 against a stop and presses on the lid 5.
- the print head 2 is inserted, it is replaced by two rail-like grooves 19 in the two side walls 13 with the Opening 4 against an elastomeric sealing plate 17 on the floor 11 pressed.
- the nozzle plate is placed on a porous, for example moistened Suction element 18, for example made of foam, pressed. So that the nozzle plate 3 is cleaned at the same time.
- the device 1 also includes a pin 22 for closing the opening 6, a metal mandrel 23, the lower End face 24 sharpened at an angle to the mandrel axis is, and which has a round disc 25 at the top, and one with Ink 26 filled container 27.
- the mandrel 23 can through the A hole 28 is pierced through opening 16 into cover 5 or be drilled. It has been shown that on the lid 5 the place of the sprue can be pierced very easily. Due to the precise positioning of the print head 2 in the holder 10 and the arm 15 this weak point in the lid is reproducible reached.
- the container 27 has a hollow needle 29 at the bottom the tip of which an elastomeric plug 30 is attached.
- the Cover 31 has a through hole 32 in which
- the needle 29 through the plug 30 through the openings 16, 28 inserted in the storage space of the print head 2 and the pin 33 is removed so that the ink 26 in the print head 2nd flows.
- the arm 15 pivoted away and the pin 33 into the opening 28 inserted so that it is sealed airtight. Now the pin 22 is pulled off and the filled print head 2 out the holder 10 removed.
- the hollow needle 29 directly as a mandrel 23.
- the plug 30 and the bore 16 be dimensioned such that when the needle 29 is inserted, the end face of the plug 30 seals against the lid 5.
