Description

Portable Ink Refill Device

1 is a reference perspective view of the present invention.

Figure 2 is a reference perspective view showing the ink container structure of the present invention.

Figure 3 is a block diagram according to the operation of the present invention.

The present invention relates to a portable ink filling device, which is significantly smaller in size, lighter in weight, simpler to use, eliminates problems such as failure or malfunction, and is very inexpensive compared to conventional large ink filling devices. In particular, it has been adapted for use by mobile ink refill operators.

In recent years, ink-jet printers have been widely used and used in various layers, and as the usage amount increases, the consumption of ink also increases in proportion. However, due to the high cost of purchasing genuine ink cartridges, users are forced to take financial burdens, and the culture of refilling ink into ink cartridges used as a dimension to solve these problems has been established.

The initial means for this purpose was to inject the ink into the ink cartridge using a syringe, but this method has disadvantages such as inconvenience, cumbersome and unsafe, and has been required to develop a better means. A device for automatically or semi-automatically injecting ink has been developed.

However, the automatic ink filling device is also difficult to use and requires skill as well as some problems in proper ink injection, and it is not rational because it is divided into separate devices for injecting black ink and color ink, and each ink cartridge is different. It is not economical due to the need of fixing means, and it is also irrational, lack of compatibility, and exposed many large and small problems, and because the price is close to several million to ten million won, small ink refill operators cannot buy it. In addition, there was a problem of low practicality due to frequent failures and malfunctions.

In this regard, the present inventors have developed a utility model for automatically measuring ink which can solve the disadvantages and problems caused by the above-described conventional ink filling apparatus, and have applied for this as a utility model to receive a utility model registration (Registration No. 0344546).

However, the pre-registered utility model is less than half the price compared to the conventional function, excellent compatibility, can handle both black and color ink as a device, and can use both AC power and DC power It is widely spread because of its characteristics such as the incidence of failures and malfunctions greatly lowered. However, it is also built-in electronic scale and equipped with complicated electronic devices for operation. Problems such as the need for skill in use have been found, which has led to the conclusion that it is not suitable for small ink refilling companies. In particular, the development of a reasonable ink filling device for mobile ink filling companies that is booming in recent years is required.

Therefore, the present invention solves the problems and shortcomings caused by the pre-registered utility model of the present inventors, as well as the conventional automatic ink filling device, and is particularly suitable for use in mobile charging room operators, such as miniaturization, low weight, simple use, low cost, etc. It is a technical problem to provide an ink filling device that meets the requirements of the present invention.

First, the present invention has the following configuration.

It is characterized by consisting of an electronic balance (5) provided separately from the casing.

Next, a preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

The present invention, unlike the prior art, the electronic balance (5) is provided separately from the casing (10) and very easy to use the device to achieve a small size, light weight, good durability, easy operation without skill is required, thereby realizing the lowest cost One point emerges as a feature.

That is, according to the present invention, after the hose holder 13 and the ink container 12 are provided at the rear of the casing 10, the first ink container 20 and the second ink container (as shown in FIGS. 30), the third ink container 40 and the fourth ink container 50 are inserted into the ink container holder 12. At this time, it is preferable that the ink injection hoses connected to the above-described ink bottles are kept neatly in the hose holder 13, but in some cases, even if the hose holder 13 is omitted, there is no problem in the operation of the present invention. As such, the omission of the hose holder 13 from the present invention is obviously subject to the scope of the present invention.

Next, in the device configuration portion 11 formed in front of the casing 10, a motor pump operation switch 17 for operating the motor pumps respectively installed in each ink container for ink injection is provided in a pushbutton type. Next, an ink container selection switch 16 for selecting the type of ink to be injected into the cartridge is provided. Meanwhile, black ink is filled in the first ink bottle 20, cyan ink, which is a color ink, is filled in the second ink bottle 30, and magenta (Magenta), which is also a color ink, in the third ink bottle 40. When the ink is filled and the yellow ink, which is a color ink, is also filled in the fourth ink container 50, and the ink container selection switch 16 is placed at the position "1" with reference to FIG. When the injection of the black ink is selected and placed at the position of "2", the second ink container 30 is selected and the injection of the cyan ink is waited at the position of "2", and when the position of the "3" is placed, the third ink container 40 is selected and magenta When the injection of the ink is waited and placed at the position of "4", the fourth ink container 50 is selected to wait for the injection of the yellow ink.

Next, a motor pump rotation speed control switch 15 is installed next to the ink tank selection switch 16, which allows the rotation speed of each motor pump to be added or subtracted to increase the injection speed of the ink injected into the ink cartridge. I can regulate it.

In addition, a power switch 14 for connecting and disconnecting the power applied from the plug 19 may be provided to apply or cut off power to the circuit board 60.

Referring again to Figure 2 it can be seen the structure of each of the ink tanks of the present invention, for convenience, only the first ink bottle 20 is shown in perspective view and the remaining ink bottles are briefly shown in FIG. 2 and 3, each ink bottle is provided with motor pumps 23, 33, 43, 53, and each motor pump has a hose 24 having needles 25, 35, 45, 55 assembled at its end. , 34, 44, 54 are connected so that ink in each ink container can be injected into the cartridge. The upper side of each ink container is provided with a lid 21, 31, 41, 51 formed integrally with the needle insertion tube (22, 32, 42, 52) that can be safely stored by plugging the needle when the device is not in use So when the ink runs out, it can be opened and recharged. On the other hand, it is desirable to make the ink bottles transparent or semi-transparent so that the amount of ink stored can be easily visually checked.

The present invention has a simple configuration as described above, in particular, the casing (10) has a rectangular shape while having a size within 250mm, less than 250mm, less than 200mm height and 200mm in height so that the mobile ink filling carriers can be carried in the carrying bag It has been concluded that it is most desirable to have a band, but it is not necessarily limited to the dimensions described above. In addition, the casing 10 is preferably a light weight and hard plastic mainly, but in some cases, it may be natural to select a metal plate or a wooden plate.

Briefly look at the use of the present invention as described above. For example, when the black ink needs to be filled first, for example, the needle 25 is removed from the first ink container 20 in the cartridge to be filled with black ink, and then the ink inlet of the corresponding cartridge is inserted into the ink balance 5 on the electronic balance 5. Put the balance on the electronic balance (5) to "0", and then check the ink filling amount indicated on the cartridge (for example, black ink / 15ml) and set the ink bottle selection switch 16 to the position of "1". Subsequently, when the motor pump operation switch 17 is pressed, the motor pump 23 of the first ink container 20 is operated, and the black ink in the first ink container 20 passes through the needle 25 through the hose 24 and the corresponding cartridge. It begins to be injected inside. At this time, if the motor pump rotation speed control switch 15 is turned to the right (while the motor pump operation switch 17 is pressed), the rotation speed of the motor pump 23 is increased, and the injection speed of ink is increased. The rotation speed of (23) is reduced to slow the injection speed of the ink. Depending on the situation, an appropriate speed can be obtained, but it may be preferable to set the injection speed to have a normal injection speed. Therefore, in the present invention, since the motor pump speed control switch 15 may be provided as an option, it is natural that the motor pump speed control switch 15 may be manufactured and sold separately.

As described above, when the black ink is started to be filled in the cartridge, the filling amount of the ink is displayed on the electronic balance 5, and eventually reaches an injection amount of 15 ml. At this time, the user immediately releases the motor pump operation switch 17 to stop the operation of the motor pump 23 and stops the injection of ink. Subsequently, the needle 25 is removed from the cartridge filled with the black ink, and the needle 25 is twisted into the needle insertion tube 22 of the first ink container 20 to be stored. do.

Next, if the type of ink in the cartridge to be filled with ink is cyan, the needle 35 of the second ink bottle 30 is inserted into the ink inlet of the corresponding cartridge according to the above-described method, and the ink bottle selection switch 16 is turned on. After adjusting the position of " 2 " and pressing the motor pump operation switch 17 according to the above-described method, the cyan ink in the second ink container 30 can be injected into the corresponding cartridge to finally charge the cyan ink. Injecting magenta ink and yellow ink can be carried out according to the same method, and description thereof will be omitted.

On the other hand, the present invention is light in weight (about 10Kg) can be lifted lightly using the handle 18 and is very simple to operate and there is no risk of malfunction or malfunction due to its structural features, so it can be easily moved in the above-mentioned equipment bag As a result, it was concluded that it is more suitable for use by ink filling companies with stores as well as mobile ink filling companies.

The present invention as described above, the size and weight is significantly reduced compared to the conventional automatic ink filling device, and is very easy to operate, of course, almost no skill is required, as well as easy to use even for beginners, the structure is simple, failure or malfunction There is little possibility of the use, it is useful to use as a portable charging device, and it is inexpensive, but it is easy to inject various types of ink into any cartridge quickly and safely and easily. It has a useful effect.
