Abstract
Description
The present invention relates to an ink supply apparatus, and more particularly, to be applied to an endless refill ink supply, etc., and to improve the print quality and ink by allowing the outside air to flow in when the printer is printing and the outside air when the printer is stopped. It relates to an ink supply device which can achieve savings.
In general, the infinite refill ink supply device used in inkjet printers and the like to install a large-capacity ink container on the outside of the printer, by connecting the ink container to the cartridge of the printer so that ink can be supplied to the cartridge to reduce the cost It is made up.
The ink supply device is configured to install four or six ink containers for each color of the ink and to connect the cartridge and the supply pipe of the printer. The ink container is always kept open to allow the outside air to flow. do.
That is, in order to supply ink from the ink container to the cartridge, external air must be supplied to the ink container. For this purpose, the lid of the ink container is always opened.
However, as described above, if the lid of the ink container is left open at all times, ink supply is easily performed at the start of printing, but even when the printing is stopped, ink flows into the cartridge by external air, which causes the ink to flow into the cartridge. There is a problem that oversupply occurs.
That is, even though printing is stopped, a small amount of ink is supplied to the cartridge due to the weight or inertia of the air and ink, which causes excess ink in the cartridge, resulting in deterioration in print quality due to excess ink at the next printing. There is a problem.
Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to solve the above problems, and to provide an ink supply device which not only smoothly supplies external air during printing but also automatically cuts off the supply of external air when printing is stopped. .
In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides an ink container having one end of the ink discharge pipe penetrated through the upper side thereof and being exposed to the outside, and the other end being located at the bottom of the inside of the container, and having an inlet formed thereon. A lid having a flow hole formed therein so as to be detachable and flowable therethrough; and an inlet pipe coupled to the bottom of the lid so that air is introduced into the bottom of the ink container through the flow hole, and the end of which is blocked. It is formed in the lower portion is characterized in that it consists of an incision configured to block the inflow of external air while the air is introduced into the container when the printer sucks the ink during printing and the suction pressure is removed when the printing stops.
As described above, the present invention forms an incision in the inlet pipe in an ink supply device applied to an endless refill ink feeder, so that when negative pressure is generated according to printer printing inside the ink container, the external air is sucked in and the printing is interrupted to stop the external air. By doing so, there is an advantage that the print quality can be improved.
