It relates to a portable ink charger composed of a bag.

In general, inkjet printers have been introduced in various forms due to their low cost and low maintenance costs.In addition, such ink-only printers are easily miniaturized even in a small space, and the ink cartridges used are smaller and smaller. Since fewer cartridges are used, there is a need for frequent replacement.

Such cartridges are replaced with new ones when the ink is consumed by repeated printing, and the used cartridges are generally discarded or collected by a recycling company, and the cartridges collected by the recycling company are separate ink. Although it is recharged by a charger and distributed at a lower cost than a new product, it cannot be distributed at a low cost due to many processes and labor costs while collecting used cartridges, recharging ink, and going through a sales distribution step.

Therefore, the consumer may carry the cartridge directly and recharge it at a lower cost in an ink charging room equipped with a separate charger.However, due to poor portability and storage of the consumed ink cartridge, the ink leaks and the remaining ink solidifies. Because it is difficult to reuse the cartridge was generated, modern people busy everyday life preferred to use a new cartridge to replace rather than recharged for various reasons.

Therefore, various well-known techniques introduced in the domestic registered utility model publication (Registration No. 20-0380298-Mobile Ink Charger) for facilitating ink filling to a used cartridge are mentioned and published (Utility Model Application No. 2002-0017859). , 2003-0023278), but referring to the conventional configuration described above, which is introduced as a configuration that is easy to carry and move in the field and can be immediately recharged in the present invention.

First, the conventional configuration is to provide a removable ink filling device that can easily charge the ink in the cartridge to find the consumer directly, and to provide a suction means that can remove the air inside the cartridge so that bubbles do not occur after filling It can be seen that the purpose, the configuration for this is as shown in Figures 5 to 6, as described in the specification and claims, and a plurality of ink can accommodate the ink, one end of the ink An ink injector that is connected and flows ink, an injector in which the other end of the ink intake number is connected, sucks ink into the ink suction hose, and receives a predetermined amount of ink into the ink, and injects the ink contained in the injector into the cartridge An ink charger comprising an ink supply lake equipped with an injection needle, wherein the ink charger Having a carrying case for housing a, and housed in the carrying case, and it can be seen that configured to include a suction means for re-sucking the air bubbles to the interior of the cartridge and remaining after the ink is supplied.

However, the conventional configuration as described above has the advantage of recharging the ink on the spot in the field to visit the consumer directly, the moving means to move the case containing the ink charging device in a bag or packaging of another moving means There was a disadvantage that this is necessary, the configuration for discharging bubbles or air generated during ink filling to the outside to generate a vacuum by applying power to the vacuum pump of the suction means as shown in Figure 6, the generated vacuum Is a suction power generated from the output nozzle located at the lower end of the cartridge through the air suction hose to suck out the small amount of ink or air and bubbles inside the cartridge and discharge it to the main suction tube. As it is necessary, we cannot use in place without electricity Process problems that require the addition of complex configurations such as closed ends, vacuum pumps, main suction and auxiliary air cylinders, and additional switch devices to start or stop vacuum pumps, There was a disadvantage that requires a high level of skill.

The present invention is to solve the above-mentioned disadvantages, and to simplify the configuration so that anyone in the field can easily refill the ink in the field, and the ink remaining in the cartridge consumed without power and The present invention aims to provide a portable ink charger including a bag that can be easily removed and has a combination of nozzles integrally connected to each of the injectors capable of filling the air pressure after filling the ink according to the characteristics of the cartridge. .
