Abstract
The present invention relates to an ink cartridge filling apparatus used for filling ink in an ink cartridge used in a printer, in which a tank in which a filling ink is contained and a cartridge which is a filling object are mounted on a mounting table, So that the ink contained in the tank is automatically supplied to the cartridge through the tube by the atmospheric pressure difference so that the tank is elastically fixed with the elastic means The ink is supplied to the cartridge while the water level is kept constant by allowing the water to rise and fall according to the remaining amount of the ink in the tank. By positioning the level of the tank corresponding to the level of the ink to be filled in the cartridge, Charge ink So that the cartridge can be easily filled with ink.
Description
The present invention relates to an ink cartridge filling apparatus used for filling ink in an ink cartridge used in a printer, and an operator automatically adjusts the injection amount when the ink is charged without manually adjusting the injection amount of the ink.
In general, an ink cartridge used in a printer is discarded after being used once, or reused by charging ink. Conventionally, most of the ink cartridges are used after the ink has been exhausted, but in this case, the maintenance cost of the printer is increased The problem is that the cartridge is not reused and resources are wasted, and in recent years, there is a tendency to recharge the ink in the cartridge.
An ink reservoir is formed in the casing and an ink inlet for supplying ink to the head of the printer and an ink inlet for injecting ink are formed at one end of the ink reservoir. They are formed separately or integrally with each other depending on the type of printer manufacturer.
In order to recharge the ink cartridge by filling it with ink, an operator manually inserts the injection mechanism into the ink cartridge and manually injects the ink into the ink cartridge. Alternatively, the tank in which the ink is stored is connected to the ink cartridge by a hose, Various types of ink filling methods have been proposed and used.
However, the problem with this is that since the charging method is manual, the injection amount is not easy to adjust, so there is a problem that the ink charging operation is difficult. Since the ink may be discolored when the cartridge storing the ink is filled with light, For this reason, since the operator can not know the degree of filling of the ink, it is difficult to adjust the amount of ink to be injected, which may result in overcharging.
In particular, when the filling operation is performed by hand, there is a difference in the injection pressure, which causes bubbles to be generated inside the ink cartridge, resulting in failure to print properly.
When the ink is overcharged through the air outlet, the overflowed ink flows out. When the ink flows out of the cartridge, the charging efficiency is lowered However, since there is a problem that the operator's hands and clothes are smudged, the operator needs to perform post-operation such as wiping the cartridge case, which is very inconvenient to use, and the appearance becomes dirty, .
Therefore, in the present invention, when the ink is injected into the ink cartridge to charge the ink, it is not necessary for the operator to manually open and close the ink cartridge, so that the ink is automatically injected and the injection amount is adjusted by the atmospheric pressure difference So that the ink to be injected can be easily performed while the ink to be filled does not overflow and is injected in a proper amount.
In addition, when the cartridge is filled with ink, the structure of starting and stopping the injection of ink is started or blocked by detachment and attachment of the cartridge, so that the operation of ink injection is controlled by detachment and attachment of the cartridge, So that the ink is simply charged.
In order to achieve the above object, according to the present invention, a tank for receiving ink is mounted on a holding frame of a mounting table so as to perform a lifting operation and a cradle is formed on one side of the storage frame, The ink contained in the tank is automatically supplied to the cartridge by the pressure of the inside of the tank and the pressure difference inside the cartridge due to the lifting operation of the tank.
At this time, the tank is mounted on the receiving frame by the elastic element, so that the raising and lowering operation is automatically performed in accordance with the amount of ink stored in the tank, so that the level of the ink supplied to the cartridge is equal to the level of the ink contained in the tank The injection of ink is automatically stopped so that the ink can be charged in a constant amount.
Further, a valve is mounted on a path of a tube connecting the tank and the cartridge, and the switch is mounted on a cradle for mounting the cartridge so that the valve can be opened and closed by the switch, So that the ink supply passage is automatically opened or closed by the mounting of the cartridge.
Therefore, since the ink is injected by the pressure difference, the ink can be injected automatically, and only a predetermined amount can be injected. Therefore, even when a plurality of cartridges are repeatedly charged, the same amount of ink It is possible to maintain the uniformity of the quality of the ink, and the capacity of the cartridge is not exceeded during the ink charging process.
In addition, since the injection start and the injection blocking of the ink are controlled by detachment and attachment of the cartridge, the use is very simple and the workability is good, so that a plurality of cartridges can be filled up by one operator, It is possible to perform mass work and shorten the working time.
