Description
本発明は、上述の課題の少なくとも一部を解決するためになされたものであり、以下の形態又は適用例として実現することが可能である。
本発明の一形態は、液体供給口を有する液体カートリッジが装着可能な液体消費装置であって、
前記液体カートリッジに収容された液体を消費可能な液体消費部と、
前記液体カートリッジを装着可能なカートリッジ装着部と、
を備え、
前記カートリッジ装着部は、
前記液体カートリッジが前記カートリッジ装着部に装着された状態で前記液体供給口に接続され、前記液体カートリッジに収容された液体を前記液体消費部に導入可能な液体供給管と、
前記液体供給管の周囲に設けられ、前記液体カートリッジが前記カートリッジ装着部に装着された状態で前記液体カートリッジの前記液体供給口をシール可能な弾性シール部材と、
を有し、
前記弾性シール部材は、前記液体カートリッジが前記カートリッジ装着部に装着された状態で前記弾性シール部材と前記液体供給口とのシール位置よりも前記液体供給管の先端側に突出した凸部を有する、液体消費装置である。
この液体消費装置によれば、弾性シール部材が液体供給管の先端側に突出した凸部を有するので、この凸部によって液体供給管が保護される。従って、液体カートリッジをカートリッジ装着部に装着する際に、液体供給管が液体カートリッジのケース等に接触して、液体供給管が損傷する可能性を低減することができる。
SUMMARY An advantage of some aspects of the invention is to solve at least a part of the problems described above, and the invention can be implemented as the following forms or application examples.
One aspect of the present invention is a liquid consuming device to which a liquid cartridge having a liquid supply port can be attached,
A liquid consuming unit capable of consuming the liquid stored in the liquid cartridge;
A cartridge mounting portion capable of mounting the liquid cartridge;
With
The cartridge mounting part is
A liquid supply pipe connected to the liquid supply port in a state where the liquid cartridge is mounted on the cartridge mounting portion, and capable of introducing the liquid stored in the liquid cartridge into the liquid consumption portion;
An elastic seal member provided around the liquid supply pipe and capable of sealing the liquid supply port of the liquid cartridge in a state where the liquid cartridge is mounted in the cartridge mounting portion;
Have
The elastic seal member has a convex portion that protrudes toward the distal end side of the liquid supply pipe from a seal position between the elastic seal member and the liquid supply port in a state where the liquid cartridge is mounted in the cartridge mounting portion. It is a liquid consuming device.
According to this liquid consuming apparatus, since the elastic seal member has the convex portion protruding toward the distal end side of the liquid supply tube, the liquid supply tube is protected by the convex portion. Therefore, when the liquid cartridge is mounted on the cartridge mounting portion, the possibility that the liquid supply pipe comes into contact with the case of the liquid cartridge and the liquid supply pipe is damaged can be reduced.
