Abstract
The present invention relates to a compatible cassette type ink cartridge of an inkjet printer. It includes a cartridge that can be inserted into an inkjet printer; and an ink bottle that can be combined with the cartridge, and a through hole is provided at the front end of the cartridge so that the ink supply needle of the ink jet printer can penetrate, and the ink bottle faces the through hole of the cartridge. The head part is provided, and the soft stopper which penetrates the ink supply needle of an inkjet printer into an ink bottle and draws out ink is provided in the head part.
Description
The present invention relates to an ink supply apparatus of an inkjet printer, and more particularly to a compatible cassette type ink cartridge of an inkjet printer.
Conventional color inkjet printers for printing large advertisement photos and signboards use long box-shaped cassette-type ink cartridges, which have a capacity of 300 to 1000 cc, and genuine cassette-type ink cartridges contain ink in a long strip-shaped aluminum foil bag. After filling and sealing, the bag is housed in a long, rigid cartridge. A through hole is provided at the front end of the cartridge, the head portion of the ink bag is opposed to the through hole, and a soft stopper is provided to allow the ink supply needle of the ink jet printer to pass through the head portion and communicate with the inside of the bag. Such a cassette type ink cartridge supplies ink by pressurizing the ink bag by atmospheric pressure when ink is supplied so that the ink automatically flows into the ink jet head of the inkjet printer through the ink supply needle. In order to accurately determine the remaining amount of ink, a chip set is generally installed outside the cartridge, and when the cassette type ink cartridge is mounted on the inkjet printer, the machine automatically records the amount of ink used and simultaneously displays the remaining amount of ink. The ink of the genuine cassette type ink cartridge is completely isolated from the air and is not irradiated with light, so the quality is excellent. However, since all of the ink and the cartridge and the chip set have to be discarded, there is a problem in that resources are wasted. And such a problem is one of the main reasons that the cost of the genuine cassette-type ink cartridge is expensive. Genuine cassette type ink cartridges are expensive to sell, which puts a heavy burden on customers.
In order to solve the disadvantage that the genuine cassette type ink cartridge is too expensive, a compatible cassette type ink cartridge has emerged. Common compatible ink cartridges are made of rigid, translucent plastic, which stores ink in the cartridge itself and embeds a soft stopper at the front of the cartridge, allowing the ink supply needle of the inkjet printer to penetrate. And a bottle inlet for injecting ink is installed at the rear of the cartridge, and the user purchases the ink in the bottle separately. When the ink amount of the cassette-type ink cartridge is low, the user replenishes the ink in the ink cartridge by installing the funnel at the ink cartridge bottle entrance and then slowly pouring the ink from the ink bottle into the funnel. This refilling method often causes too much pouring of the ink so quickly that the funnel overflows quickly, thus increasing the amount of work required to clean the work surface by dirtying the work surface. In the operation of replenishing the ink frequently, the user cannot clean the funnel each time, leaving ink in the funnel and the remaining ink dries through contact with air for a long time to form granules. The granular residual ink can then flow into the cartridge the next time it is refilled, degrading the ink quality in the cartridge. In addition to the function of replenishing the ink, the bottle inlet serves to form an air circulation hole so that the ink liquid level in the cartridge is subjected to atmospheric pressure to cause the ink supply needle of the inkjet printer to suck the ink. However, if the ink is in contact with the air in the cartridge for a long time, it is easily changed. Particularly in the ink layer in contact with air, although the ink layer is continuously replenished with fresh ink, the ink layer in contact with air is still inhalable after a long time, so that the ink concentration is high and adheres to the cartridge inner wall to dry and form granules more easily. . In addition, as the ink level rises and falls frequently, ink grains may fall on the ink in the cartridge, affecting the ink quality, and clogging the ink supply needle, the ink supply line, the ejection nozzle, and the like. Some inkjet printers inspect the chip set of the cassette type ink cartridge to control the supply of ink. In this model, after using the compatible cassette-type ink cartridge for a certain time, the ink cartridge must be disassembled to replace a new chip set. After replacing the chip set, the ink cartridge needs to be put back into the inkjet printer. The frequent disassembling and assembling of the cassette-type ink cartridges causes the soft plugs at the front end of the ink cartridges to fall off, causing ink leakage. This is another disadvantage of compatible ink cartridges.
It is a main object of the present invention to provide a compatible cassette type ink cartridge of an inkjet printer having a lower cost than a genuine cassette type ink cartridge.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a compatible cassette type ink cartridge of an inkjet printer which is easy to use and high in quality.
In order to achieve the above object, a compatible cassette-type ink cartridge of an inkjet printer according to the present invention forms a cassette-type ink cartridge by combining a cartridge of a hard material and an ink bottle, and a genuine cassette-type by combining a cartridge of a hard material with an inkjet printer. The ink cartridge meets the requirements for the shape of the insertion connection of the ink cartridge, the ink is stored in the ink bottle, and a through hole is provided at the front end of the cartridge to allow the ink supply needle of the ink jet printer to pass through, and the through hole of the cartridge Opposing head portions are provided, and the head portion is provided with a soft stopper for penetrating the ink supply needle into the ink bottle to draw out the ink. If the inkjet printer needs to read an ink supply chip (not required for some models), install the chip set outside the cartridge. Therefore, when all the ink is used, it is time-saving and convenient because it is necessary to replace a new ink bottle without having to pour the ink into the funnel. The ink must be contained in the original container, since the ink bottle of a conventional compatible product is simply a container for ink, so the user must carefully pour the ink into the compatible cartridge. However, the ink bottle of the present invention is provided with a head portion and a soft stopper to fix the position of the cartridge to supply ink directly to the ink bottle, saving time and convenience.
Since the cartridge of the present invention forms an interface that connects the inkjet printer and the ink bottle to form a permanent element, there is no need to discard it, thereby significantly reducing the cost. For inkjet printers that need to read the chip, the ink bottle needs to be replaced at the same time the ink bottle is replaced.

The above embodiments merely illustrate the invention and do not limit the invention. For example, although the bottle openings and the lids are all provided in the ink bottles illustrated in the respective embodiments, they may not be provided. After the ink has been sufficiently filled at the factory, the ink bottle may be completely sealed and the air opening may be opened before use, or the ink bottle may be punctured to form an air inlet. A part of the ink bottle is exposed to the outside to observe the remaining amount of ink. But if an inkjet printer controls the ink supply with a chip set, external exposure of the ink bottle is not necessary. If the structure of opening the cartridge and replacing the ink bottle must be used as in the third embodiment, the entire ink bottle can be accommodated in the cartridge.
