Abstract

이 발명은 잉크카트리지를 규정된 사용수명까지만 사용하고 더 이상 사용하지 못하도록 하여 화상품질저하가 방지되도록 개선된 잉크카트리지로서, 저장된 잉크를 메디아로 분사시키는 헤드부와, 양측 내면에 상호대향되게 수직방향으로 돌출되는 레일형 가이드로 구성된 잉크저장통과; 잉크저장통에 저장된 잉크의 유무를 감지하기 위하여 양측 가이드의 하부에 각각 설치되는 전극단자와; 양측에 가이드 홈을 형성하여 양측 가이드의 안내를 받아 상,하 이동하면서 양측 전극단자에 접지되도록 하는 도체로 구성되고 잉크의 수면에 따라 상,하 이동시키도록 부력수단을 가진 감지액츄에이터와; 상기 감지액츄에이터를 잉크수면상태에 따라 안정된 하향이동이 되도록 하는 탄력수단과; 잉크저장통의 하부에 설치되어 규정된 회수 이상의 잉크보충시 부력수단을 파손시켜 공기압의 방출로 재사용하지 못하도록 하는 파괴수단으로 잉크 카트리지의 잉크유무감지장치를 구성하고, 이것을 제어하는 방법을 제공하도록 구성된다.

제2도는 본 발명에 따른 잉크카트리지의 일측단면도.

Claims (7)

  1. 저장된 잉크를 메디아(Media)로 분사시키는 헤드부와, 양측 내면에 상호 대향되게 수직방향으로 돌출되는 레일형 가이드로 구성된 잉크저장통과, 잉크저장통에 저장된 잉크의 유무를 감지하기 위하여 양측 가이드의 하부에 각각 설치되는 전극단자와, 양측에 가이드홈을 형성하여 양측가이드의 안내를 받아 상,하 이동하면서 양측 전극단자에 접지되도록 하는 도체로 구성되고 잉크의 수면에 따라 상,하 이동시키도록 부력수단을 가진 감지액츄에이터와, 상기 감지액츄에이터를 잉크수면상태에 따라 안정된 하향이동이 되도록 하는 탄력수단과, 잉크저장통의 하부에 설치되어 규정된 회수 이상의 잉크보충시 부력수단을 파손시켜 공기압의 방출로 재사용하지 못하도록 하는 파괴수단으로 구성한 것을 특징으로 하는 프린터기기에 있어서 잉크카트리지의 규정 회수이상 잉크보충방지장치.
  2. 제1항에 있어서, 상기 양측 전극단자와 연결되어 감지액츄에이터의 접촉시 이를 감지하는 감지센서와; 감지센서의 감지신호를 받아 입력된 데이터와 비교판단하여 잉크의 상태를 외부로 알려주는 제어부와, 잉크저장통의 상부에 조립되어 밀폐시키고 공기구멍을 가진 잉크캡을 부가하므로써 잉크없음을 사용자에게 알릴 수 있도록 구성한 것을 특징으로 하는 프린터기기에 있어서 잉크카트리지의 규정 회수이상 잉크보충방지장치.
  3. 제1항에 있어서, 상기 부력수단이, 공기압이 충진되는 부구인 것을 특징으로 하는 프린터기기에 있어서 잉크카트리지의 규정 회수이상 잉크보충방지장치.

  5. 제1항에 있어서, 상기 탄력수단이, 인장코일스프링인 것을 특징으로 하는 프린터기기에 있어서 잉크카트리지의 규정 회수이상 잉크보충방지장치.
  6. 제1항에 있어서, 상기 감지액츄에이터의 부력수단은 공기압이 채워진 상태에서 탄력수단의 탄력보다 부력이 강하도록 한 것을 특징으로 하는 프린터기기에 있어서 잉크카트리지의 규정 회수이상 잉크보충방지장치.
  7. 잉크저장통내에 잉크의 유무를 판단하는 단계와, 잉크가 없을 경우 그 신호를 제어부가 받아서 입력된 데이터와 비교판단하는 단계와, 잉크가 있을 경우에는 제어부의 신호를 받아서 프린팅을 할 것인지의 여부를 판단하는 단계와, 정상적인 프린팅의 경우 종료되는 단계와, 규정된 잉크보충회수에 도달하는 경우에는 프린팅매수를 카운팅하는 단계와, 제어부의 출력신호를 받아서 잉크의 보충회수를 카운트하여 규정된 보충회수 범위 이내, 및 이상인 경우를 판단하여 제어부를 신호를 보내는 단계와, 잉크의 보충회수범위인 경우와 프린팅 매수의 신호를 받아 엔진을 정지시키도록 하는 단계와, 엔진의 정지신호를 받아서 잉크보충 또는 잉크카트리지를 교환시키는 단계로 됨을 특징으로 하는 프린터기기에 있어서 잉크카트리지의 규정회수이상 잉크보충방지방법.
