Description

  The present invention relates to a recording apparatus such as an ink jet printer.

  2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, as a type of recording apparatus, an ink jet printer that performs printing (recording) by ejecting ink from a liquid ejecting head onto a recording medium such as paper is known. In such a printer, in order to continuously and stably supply ink to the liquid ejecting head when a relatively large amount of printing is performed, the ink is supplied from an ink tank (liquid storage portion) having a relatively large ink storage capacity. A configuration in which ink is supplied to a liquid ejecting head through a supply tube (liquid supply tube) has been proposed (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

  In the printer having such a configuration, the liquid ejecting head is mounted on a carriage that is reciprocally movable in the main scanning direction with respect to the paper in the housing. Then, an ink supply tube extending from an ink tank attached to the side surface of the casing is inserted into a carriage movement region through a through hole formed in the casing, and is connected to a liquid ejecting head mounted on the carriage.

International Publication No. 97/42035 Pamphlet

  By the way, in the printer as described above, if the ink tank is enlarged in order to reduce the frequency of ink replacement, the ink tank is relatively large with respect to the printer, while the printer is downsized in order to reduce the use space. Even if the size of the ink tank remains the same, the ink tank becomes relatively large with respect to the printer.

  Therefore, in the printer as described above, when an ink tank is attached to the surface of the housing where the power cord (connecting member) or the like is formed with an insertion port (connection part), the insertion port and the ink tank interfere with each other. Thus, there is a problem that it becomes difficult to insert a power cord or the like into the insertion port.

  Note that such a problem is not limited to an ink jet printer, and the liquid supplied from the liquid container attached to the outer surface of the housing to the liquid ejecting head in the housing via the liquid supply tube is ejected from the liquid ejecting head. The recording apparatuses that perform recording are generally the same.

  The present invention has been made paying attention to such problems existing in the prior art. The purpose is that the connection member can be easily connected to the connection portion even when the liquid storage portion is attached to the surface of the housing where the connection portion to which the connection member is connected is provided. It is to provide a possible recording device.

Hereinafter, means for solving the above-described problems and the effects thereof will be described.
A recording apparatus that solves the above problems is supported by a casing provided with a connecting portion capable of connecting a connecting member on one side surface, and a movable body that is movably disposed in the casing, A liquid ejecting head that performs recording by ejecting a liquid, a liquid accommodating portion that is attached to one side surface of the casing and that accommodates the liquid, and a liquid supply that guides the liquid in the liquid accommodating portion to the liquid ejecting head A tube, and the liquid storage portion is disposed so as not to overlap the connection portion on one side surface of the housing.

  According to this configuration, even when the liquid storage unit is attached to the surface of the housing where the connection member to which the connection member is connected is provided, the liquid storage unit does not overlap the connection unit. Thus, the connection member can be easily connected.

  In the recording apparatus, a liquid container different from the liquid container is attached to the other side of the housing opposite to the one side, and the liquid stored in the another liquid container is It is preferable that the liquid supply tube is guided to the liquid ejecting head by a liquid supply tube different from the liquid supply tube, and the liquid storage portion is smaller than the other liquid storage portion.

  According to this configuration, the smaller liquid storage portion is disposed on one side surface of the housing where the connection portion is provided, so that the space can be effectively used and the recording apparatus can be reduced in size. .

  In the recording apparatus, it is preferable that one type of liquid is stored in the liquid storage unit, and a plurality of types of liquids different from the one type of liquid are stored in the other liquid storage unit.

According to this configuration, the liquid can be efficiently stored in the liquid storage unit and the separate liquid storage unit.
In the recording apparatus, it is preferable that a notch portion is provided in the liquid storage portion so as to avoid the liquid storage portion and the connection portion from overlapping each other.

According to this configuration, it is possible to suppress a decrease in the capacity of the liquid storage unit while avoiding the liquid storage unit from overlapping the connection unit.
In the recording apparatus, the housing is formed by assembling a first member and a second member, and a surface of the first member facing the second member and the first member of the second member. It is preferable that at least one of the opposing surfaces is formed with an accommodation recess for accommodating the built-in object.

According to this configuration, the built-in object can be easily assembled in the housing by assembling the first member and the second member after the built-in object is accommodated in the accommodating recess.
In the recording apparatus, the built-in object is a power supply device, the connection portion is a connection terminal electrically connected to the power supply device, and the connection member is connected to the connection terminal and the power supply device. Preferably, the power cord is used to supply power to the power source.

According to this configuration, the power supply device can be easily assembled in the housing.
In the recording apparatus, it is preferable that the liquid container is attached to at least one of the first member and the second member.

  According to this configuration, the power storage device and the power supply device are attached to either the first member or the second member, and then the first member and the second member are assembled to facilitate the power supply device in the housing. It becomes possible to assemble to. Moreover, after assembling the first member and the second member, it is possible to increase the assembling strength of the first member and the second member by attaching the liquid container to both the first member and the second member. Become.
