- 装置本体と、前記装置本体側からの吸引によって前記装置本体に供給する液体を収納するとともに前記装置本体に対して着脱可能なコンテナと、の間の液体流路の接続部分に配置された液体流路の接続機構であって、
前記コンテナに設けられた第1接続部と、
前記装置本体に設けられて前記第1接続部が着脱可能な第2接続部と、
を備え、
前記第1接続部は、
内部に前記液体流路を有する第1本体部と、
前記第1本体部内に配置されて前記液体流路を開閉する第1開閉弁と、
前記第1開閉弁を前記液体流路を閉鎖する方向に付勢する第1付勢部材と、
を備え、
前記第2接続部は、
第2本体部と、
前記第2本体部内に配置されて内部に前記液体流路を有するスライド部と、
前記第2本体部と前記スライド部との間に配置されて前記液体流路に接続し、前記スライド部によって開閉される空気流路と、
前記スライド部を前記空気流路を開通する方向に付勢する第2付勢部材と、
を備え、
前記コンテナを前記装置本体に接続する場合に、前記第1本体部を前記第2本体部内に挿入することで前記第1本体部の先端部と前記スライド部の先端部とを接触させ、前記スライド部によって前記第1開閉弁を前記第1付勢部材の付勢力に抗して移動させて前記液体流路を開通させるとともに、前記第1本体部内の前記液体流路と前記スライド部内の前記液体流路とを連通させ、前記第1本体部によって前記スライド部を前記第2付勢部材の付勢力に抗して移動させて前記空気流路を閉鎖させ、
前記コンテナを前記装置本体から接続解除する場合に、前記第1本体部と前記スライド部との接触圧が低下することで前記第2付勢部材によって前記スライド部を付勢し、前記スライド部を移動させることで前記空気流路を開通させて前記空気流路から前記液体流路へ空気を流通させ、前記第1本体部を前記スライド部から離間することで前記第1付勢部材によって前記第1開閉弁を付勢して前記第1本体部内の前記液体流路を閉鎖させ、前記第1本体部が前記第2本体部内から取り出される
ことを特徴とする液体流路の接続機構。 - 前記第1接続部は、前記第1開閉弁よりも液体供給方向の上流側に第1逆流防止弁を備えることを特徴とする請求項1に記載の液体流路の接続機構。
