본 발명은 잉크젯프린터에 관한 것으로, 보다 상세하게는 헤드로부터 분사되는 잉크를 활성화시킬 수 있는 잉크젯프린터에 관한 것이다. The present invention relates to an inkjet printer, and more particularly to an inkjet printer capable of activating ink ejected from the head.

일반적으로 잉크젯프린터는 용지를 공급하는 급지부와, 상기 급지부로부터 용지를 급지받아 이송시키는 이송부, 상기 이송부에 의해 이송되는 용지에 인쇄가 되도록 하는 인쇄부와, 상기 인쇄부에 의해 인쇄된 용지를 배출시키는 배출부로 구 성된다.In general, an inkjet printer includes a paper feeder for supplying paper, a paper feeder for feeding paper from the paper feeder, a printer for printing on the paper conveyed by the paper feeder, and a paper printed by the printer. It consists of an outlet.

이러한 종래 잉크젯 프린터의 인쇄부는 잉크카트리지를 포함하는 헤드가 용지의 폭넓이 만큼 왕복운동하며 잉크를 분사하는 셔틀타입헤드와, 노즐이 용지의 폭넓이의 라인상에 위치하여 라인단위로 잉크가 분사되는 라인타입헤드가 있다. The printing unit of the conventional inkjet printer is a shuttle type head for ejecting ink while the head including the ink cartridge is reciprocated by the width of the paper, and the nozzle is located on a wide line of the paper, the ink is ejected line by line There is a line type head.

상기 두 타입의 헤드 모두, 시작되는 점 또는 시작 라인에 잉크액적이 분사가 되면 다음 점 또는 다음 라인으로 헤드가 이동하며 잉크액적이 분사되고, 분사된 잉크액적이 용지에 흡수가 되어 이미지를 나타내게 된다.In both types of heads, when ink droplets are injected at the starting point or the starting line, the head moves to the next point or the next line, the ink droplets are ejected, and the ejected ink droplets are absorbed by the paper to display an image. .

그런데, 용지에 분사된 점 또는 라인의 잉크액적이 용지에 완전히 흡수가 되지 않은 상태로 다음의 잉크액적이 분사가 되면 먼저 분사된 잉크와 섞이거나 잉크가 번지는 문제가 발생된다.However, when the ink droplets of the dots or lines sprayed onto the paper are not completely absorbed by the paper and the next ink droplets are ejected, the problem is that the ink is first mixed with the ejected ink or the ink spreads.

또한, 인쇄된 잉크액적이 완전히 용지에 흡수되지 않은 상태로 10초 이상 방치하게 되면 용지의 재질인 셀룰로스 섬유가 잉크액적 속의 물분자의 영향으로 국소적으로 부풀어 오르게 되어, 용지가 주름이 지거나 휘는 현상이 발생된다.In addition, if the printed ink droplets are left for 10 seconds or more without being completely absorbed by the paper, cellulose fibers, which are the material of the paper, are locally swelled under the influence of water molecules in the ink droplets, and the paper is wrinkled or warped. Is generated.

또한, 주름이 지거나 휘어진 용지가 배출부로 이동하게 되면 외부로 배출이 되지 않고 용지 걸림이나 프린터의 오작동을 일으키게 된다.In addition, if the wrinkled or warped paper is moved to the discharge unit is not discharged to the outside causing a paper jam or malfunction of the printer.

따라서 본 발명의 목적은, 잉크젯프린터의 헤드로부터 분사된 잉크가 용지에 빠르게 흡수될 수 있는 잉크젯프린터를 제공하는 것이다.It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide an ink jet printer in which ink ejected from the head of the ink jet printer can be quickly absorbed into the paper.

상기 목적은 본 발명에 따라, 용지에 잉크를 분사하는 헤드를 포함하는 잉크 젯프린터에 있어서, 상기 헤드의 토출구측에 구비되어, 상기 헤드로부터 분사되는 잉크의 활성화에너지를 증가시키는 잉크활성화부를 포함하는 것을 특징으로 하는 잉크젯프린터를 제공한다.According to the present invention, an ink jet printer comprising a head for injecting ink onto a paper, the ink jet printer comprising an ink activating portion provided on the discharge port side of the head to increase the activation energy of the ink ejected from the head It provides an inkjet printer, characterized in that.

여기서, 상기 잉크활성화부는 자기장을 형성시키는 자기발생부를 포함할 수 있다. 이 때, 상기 자기발생부는 잉크를 구성하는 물분자의 운동에너지를 증가시키는 네오디뮴을 포함할 수 있다.Here, the ink activator may include a magnetic generator for forming a magnetic field. In this case, the magnetic generating unit may include neodymium to increase the kinetic energy of the water molecules constituting the ink.

한편, 상기 잉크활성화부는 잉크속의 물분자의 공진주파수에 해당하는 마이크로파를 발생시키는 마이크로파발생부를 포함할 수 있다.On the other hand, the ink activator may include a microwave generator for generating a microwave corresponding to the resonance frequency of the water molecules in the ink.

이하에서는, 첨부도면을 참고하여 본 발명에 대해 상세히 설명하기로 한다.Hereinafter, with reference to the accompanying drawings will be described in detail with respect to the present invention.

설명에 앞서, 여러 실시예에 있어서, 동일한 구성을 가지는 구성요소에 대하여는 동일한 부호를 사용하여 대표적으로 제1실시예에서 설명하고, 그 외의 실시예에서는 제1실시예와 다른 구성에 대해서만 설명하기로 한다.Prior to the description, in the various embodiments, components having the same configuration will be representatively described in the first embodiment using the same reference numerals, and in other embodiments, only the configuration different from the first embodiment will be described. do.

도 1에 도시된 바와 같이, 본 발명의 제1실시예는 잉크활성화부로 자기발생부(20)를 사용한다.As shown in Fig. 1, the first embodiment of the present invention uses the magnetic generator 20 as the ink activator.

자기발생부(20)는 잉크를 구성하는 물분자의 운동에너지를 증가시키는 강한 자기장(25)을 형성하는 자성체(미도시)가 사용될 수 있다.The magnetic generating unit 20 may be a magnetic material (not shown) forming a strong magnetic field 25 to increase the kinetic energy of the water molecules constituting the ink.

잉크토출구(21)를 통해 잉크가 분사될 때, 강한 자기장(25)을 통과하게 되면, 잉크액적 속의 물분자의 극성에 따라, 자기장(25)의 극성방향으로 물분자의 재배열이 이루어지게 된다.When ink is injected through the ink discharge port 21 and passes through the strong magnetic field 25, the water molecules are rearranged in the polar direction of the magnetic field 25 according to the polarity of the water molecules in the ink droplets. .

물분자의 재배열 과정에서 물분자간의 운동에너지가 커지게 되므로, 물분자 를 포함하는 잉크액적(60)의 운동에너지도 커지게 된다.Since the kinetic energy between the water molecules increases in the rearrangement of the water molecules, the kinetic energy of the ink droplet 60 including the water molecules also increases.

따라서, 용지(50)에 닿기 전에 자기장(25)을 통과한 잉크액적(60)은 자성체(미도시)를 통해 운동에너지가 커지면서 활성화가 이루어져 용지(50)에 보다 빨리 흡수가 되게 된다.Therefore, the ink droplets 60 passing through the magnetic field 25 before reaching the paper 50 are activated while the kinetic energy increases through the magnetic material (not shown), so that the paper 50 is absorbed more quickly.

여기서, 강한 자기장(25)을 발생하는 자기발생부(20)로는 영구자석과, 전자석, 또는 기타 자성을 띠는 물질이 사용될 수 있다.In this case, as the magnetic generator 20 generating the strong magnetic field 25, a permanent magnet, an electromagnet, or other magnetic material may be used.

특히 강한 자성체(미도시) 중 미국특허공보 제4802931호와 미국특허공보 제 4496395호에 개시된 네오디뮴(미도시)이 사용될 수 있다.Among the strong magnetic materials (not shown), neodymium (not shown) disclosed in U.S. Patent No. 4802931 and U.S. Patent No. 4496395 may be used.

네오디뮴(미도시)은 강한 자기장을 형성하는 자석으로, 자기공진주파수(magnetic frequency resonance)의 원리를 이용하여 수소원자의 운동을 활성화시키고 탄소원자의 결합을 약화시키는 것으로 알려졌다. Neodymium (not shown) is a magnet that forms a strong magnetic field and is known to activate the movement of hydrogen atoms and weaken the bond of carbon atoms using the principle of magnetic frequency resonance.

네오디뮴의 특성을 이용하여 잉크속의 물분자를 활성화시켜, 잉크가 용지에 빠르게 흡수되게 할 수 있다.The properties of neodymium can be used to activate water molecules in the ink, allowing the ink to be quickly absorbed by the paper.

이에, 본 발명의 제1실시예에 따른 자기발생장치를 이용하여 잉크액적 속의 물분자의 운동에너지를 크게 하여, 용지에 잉크액적의 흡수를 빠르게 할 수 있다.Therefore, by using the magnetic generating device according to the first embodiment of the present invention, the kinetic energy of the water molecules in the ink droplets can be increased, so that the ink droplets can be quickly absorbed onto the paper.

도 2에 도시한 본 발명의 제2실시예는, 잉크활성화부로 물분자의 고유주파수와 동일한 주파수에 해당하는 마이크로파를 발생시키는 마이크로파발생부(30)가 사용된다.In the second embodiment of the present invention shown in Fig. 2, a microwave generator 30 for generating a microwave corresponding to the same frequency as the natural frequency of the water molecule is used as the ink activator.

마이크로파발생부(30)는 마이크로파를 발생시키는 마그네트론(미도시)과, 마그네트론에 전압을 인가해주는 전압발생장치(미도시)를 가진다.The microwave generator 30 has a magnetron (not shown) for generating microwaves and a voltage generator (not shown) for applying a voltage to the magnetron.

마이크로파발생부(30)는 잉크토출구(21)에서 잉크가 분사될 경우, 분사된 잉크액적(60)이 용지(50)에 닿기 전에 잉크액적(60)속의 물분자의 고유주파수와 동일한 공진주파수를 보내게 된다.When the ink is ejected from the ink discharge port 21, the microwave generator 30 has a resonance frequency equal to the natural frequency of the water molecules in the ink droplet 60 before the ejected ink droplets 60 reach the paper 50. Will be sent.

전자렌지에서 음식을 데울 때와 같은 원리로, 물분자의 공진주파수인 2.45GHz의 주파수가 잉크액적(60)에 가해지게 되면 잉크속의 물분자의 운동에너지가 증가하게 되어 용지(도1의 50)에 잉크액적이 빠르게 흡수된다.In the same principle as when heating food in a microwave oven, when a frequency of 2.45 GHz, which is a resonance frequency of water molecules, is applied to the ink droplets 60, the kinetic energy of the water molecules in the ink is increased (50 in FIG. 1). Ink droplets are rapidly absorbed.

이에, 본 발명의 제2실시예에 따른 잉크젯프린터는 물분자의 공진주파수와 동일한 주파수를 발생하는 마이크로파발생장치를 이용하여 물분자의 운동에너지를 증가시켜 잉크가 용지에 흡수되는 것을 향상시키게 된다.Accordingly, the inkjet printer according to the second embodiment of the present invention increases the kinetic energy of the water molecules by using a microwave generator that generates the same frequency as the resonance frequency of the water molecules, thereby improving the absorption of ink into the paper.

여기서, 잉크활성화부로 초음파를 발생시키는 초음파 발생장치가 사용될 수도 있다.Here, an ultrasonic generator for generating ultrasonic waves with the ink activator may be used.

또한, 잉크활성화부로 전기장을 형성하는 전기장형성부가 사용될 수도 있다.In addition, an electric field forming unit for forming an electric field as the ink activating unit may be used.

그리고, 본 발명의 잉크활성화부는 셔틀타입의 헤드와, 라인타입 헤드 모두에 적용될 수 있다.The ink activator of the present invention can be applied to both the shuttle type head and the line type head.

또한, 잉크의 양과 용지의 폭에 따라 복수개의 잉크활성화부가 사용될 수도 있다.Also, a plurality of ink activators may be used depending on the amount of ink and the width of the paper.

이상 설명한 바와 같이, 본 발명에 따른 잉크젯프린터는 헤드의 토출구에서 잉크가 분사될 때, 잉크의 대부분을 이루는 물분자의 운동에너지를 활성화시켜 잉크가 용지에 빠르게 흡수 되도록 할 수 있다.       As described above, the inkjet printer according to the present invention may activate the kinetic energy of the water molecules forming the majority of the ink when the ink is ejected from the ejection opening of the head so that the ink is quickly absorbed into the paper.                     

또한 용지에 흡수가 빨리됨으로 인해 용지의 물리적인 변형 없이 잉크의 빠른 건조가 이루어져 잉크젯프린터의 오작동을 막을 수 있다.
In addition, due to the rapid absorption of the paper, the ink can be dried quickly without physical deformation of the paper, thereby preventing malfunction of the inkjet printer.
