Description

一种墨盒 技术领域
本申请涉及打印装置技术领域,尤其涉及一种墨盒。
背景技术
随着社会经济的快速发展,人们在日常办公中对打印机的需求亦不断增加,在现有的很多喷墨式打印机中,通常使用可更换的墨盒作为墨水容器以向打印机提供墨源。
在一种已知的墨盒中,墨盒包括盒体、变形件和控气机构,盒体内设置有储墨腔,变形件和控气机构分别设置于储墨腔内,且盒体上还设置有与储墨腔连通的通气口和出墨口。在该墨盒被安装于成像设备内后,控气机构封堵通气口,随着打印工作的进行,储墨腔内的墨水不断地被消耗,使得储墨腔内形成负压,变形件在负压作用下发生体积膨胀以将储墨腔内的墨水挤出。当变形件的体积膨胀到一定程度时,变形件将与控气机构接触以驱动控气机构打开通气口,外界空气自通气口进入储墨腔内以消除负压,变形件的体积缩小以使变形件与控气机构脱离接触,控气机构回复至初始位置以封堵通气口,依次循环直至储墨腔内的墨水耗尽为止。
然而,采用上述方式,由于外界大气需要多次进入储墨腔内,使得储墨腔内的墨水容易发生氧化而出现结块现象,从而导致成像设备的打印头容易发生堵塞。

此处的附图被并入说明书中并构成本说明书的一部分,示出了符合本申请的实施例,并与说明书一起用于解释本申请的原理。
具体实施方式
为了更好的理解本申请的技术方案,下面结合附图对本申请实施例进行详细描述。
应当明确,所描述的实施例仅仅是本申请一部分实施例,而不是全部的实施例。基于本申请中的实施例,本领域普通技术人员在没有作出创造性劳动前提下所获得的所有其它实施例,都属于本申请保护的范围。
在本申请实施例中使用的术语是仅仅出于描述特定实施例的目的,而非旨在限制本申请。在本申请实施例和所附权利要求书中所使用的单数形式的“一种”、“所述”和“该”也旨在包括多数形式,除非上下文清楚地表示其他含义。
应当理解,本文中使用的术语“和/或”仅仅是一种描述关联对象的关联关系,表示可以存在三种关系,例如,A和/或B,可以表示:单独存在A,同时存在A和B,单独存在B这三种情况。另外,本文中字符“/”,一般表示前后关联对象是一种“或”的关系。
需要注意的是,本申请实施例所描述的“上”、“下”、“左”、“右”等方位词是以附图所示的角度来进行描述的,不应理解为对本申请实施例的限定。此外,在上下文中,还需要理解的是,当提到一个元件连接在另一个元件“上”或者“下”时,其不仅能够直接连接在另一个元件“上”或者“下”,也可以通过中间元件间接连接在另一个元件“上”或者“下”。
现有的墨盒通常包括盒体、变形件和控气机构,盒体内设置有储墨腔,变形件和控气机构分别设置于储墨腔内,且盒体上还设置有与储墨腔连通的通气口和出墨口。在该墨盒被安装于成像设备内后,初始状态下,控气机构封堵通气口,随着打印工作的进行,储墨腔内的墨水不断地被消耗,使得储墨腔内形成负压,变形件在负压作用下发生体积膨胀以将储墨腔内的墨水挤出。当变形件的体积膨胀到一定程度时,变形件将与控气机构接触以驱动控气机构打开通气口,外界空气自通气口进入储墨腔内以消除负压,变形件的体积缩小以使变形件与控气机构脱离接触,控气机构回复至初始位置以封堵通气口,依次循环直至储墨腔内的墨水耗尽为止。
然而,由于外界大气需要多次进入储墨腔内,使得储墨腔内的墨水容易发生氧化而出现结块现象,从而导致成像设备的打印头容易发生堵塞;此外,为了使储墨腔内的墨水源源不断地流出,需要在储墨腔内设置控气机构以打开或关闭通气口,墨盒的结构较为复杂。
为了解决上述技术问题,本申请提供一种墨盒100,该墨盒100可拆卸地设置于成像设备1000中,成像设备1000包括供气机构220,墨盒100至少包括盒体1、致动装置和变形件4,盒体1具有容纳腔,变形件4设置于容纳腔内以将容纳腔分隔为第一腔体和储墨腔14,且盒体1的外侧壁设置有出墨口11和充气 口12,其中,出墨口11与储墨腔14连通,充气口12与第一腔体和供气机构220连通;致动装置设置于容纳腔内,致动装置与变形件4接触,在变形件4发生形变的过程中,致动装置可向变形件4施加沿盒体1的厚度方向的作用力。
请参见图1,本申请实施例提供了一种成像系统1000,至少包括成像设备(图中未示出)和墨盒100,其中,墨盒100可拆卸地设置于成像设备内,墨盒100可为成像设备的打印工作供墨,且成像设备至少包括打印头210、供气机构220、控制器230、驱动器240和供墨机构(图中未示出)。
具体地,当墨盒100被安装于成像设备内后,供墨机构可以吸出墨盒100内储存的墨水并传输至打印头210,打印头210可以根据预打印图像将墨水喷印在媒介250上,供气机构220可以向墨盒100内输入一定量的流体(如气体)以改变墨盒100内的压力,使得墨盒内的墨水被挤出,驱动器240可以控制打印头210和/或存放媒介250的平台进行位移,控制器230可用于控制前述任意一个机构的工作状态。
为了便于理解和说明,预先设定墨盒100的长度方向为图2所示的X轴方向,预先设定墨盒100的厚度方向为图2所示的Y轴方向,预先设定墨盒100的宽度方向为图2所示的Z轴方向,其中,X轴、Y轴和Z轴两两之间相交。优选地,X轴、Y轴和Z轴两两之间垂直。
对于致动装置的结构本申请提供了多种实施例。

请参见图2至图5,本申请实施例提供了一种墨盒100,至少包括盒体1、致动装置和变形件4,其中,盒体1具有容纳腔(图中未示出),变形件4设置于容纳腔内以将该容纳腔分隔为第一腔体(图中未示出)和储墨腔14,且盒体1的外侧壁设置有与储墨腔14连通的出墨口11以及与第一腔体连通的充气口12,致动装置设置于容纳腔内,致动装置与变形件4接触,在变形件4发生形变的过程中,致动装置可向该变形件4施加沿盒体1的厚度方向(Y轴方向)的作用力。
具体地,盒体1包括沿第一方向相对的上端面10a和下端面10b、沿第二方向相对的左端面10c和右端面10d以及沿第三方向相对的前端面10e和后端面10f,其中,第一方向与Z轴平行并朝向Z轴的负方向,第二方向与X轴平行并朝向X轴的负方向,第三方向与Y轴平行并朝向Y轴的负方向。
墨盒100可以沿第二方向的反方向(X轴的正方向)被安装于成像设备内,且墨盒100可以沿第二方向(X轴的负方向)自成像设备内卸下。
出墨口11和充气口12分别设置于左端面10c,当墨盒100被安装于成像设备内后,供墨机构可插接于出墨口11内,供气机构220可插接于充气口12内,即左端面10c靠近并面向供墨机构和供气机构220。
具体地,充气口12与出墨口11沿第一方向间隔设置,即充气口12与下端面10b之间的距离大于出墨口11与下端面10b之间的距离。
可以理解的是,出墨口11和/或充气口12可以设置于前述任意一个端面上,即出墨口11与充气口12可以同时设置于前述某一个端面,也可以设置于前述任意两个不同的端面上。
在本申请中,当该墨盒100被装入成像设备并进入打印状态后,供墨机构可以自出墨口11吸取墨水,随着储墨腔14内的墨水不断地被消耗,储墨腔14内将形成负压,变形件4在负压的作用下发生变形以缩小储墨腔14的体积,使得储墨腔14内的墨水被挤出。在后续的打印工作中,为了防止因储墨腔14内的负压而导致供墨机构无法顺利地自出墨口11吸取墨水,供气机构220首先通过充气口12向第一腔体内充气,变形件4在气压的作用下发生变形以缩小储墨腔14的体积,使得储墨腔14内的墨水被挤出,然后供气机构220再停止充气,第一腔体内的气体将自充气口12流出。
由于致动装置可对变形件4起到一定的支撑作用,使得变形件4在致动装置的作用下发生一定程度的收缩变形,通过变形件4的变形可以降低储墨腔14内的负压,但储墨腔14内仍保持一定的负压,避免了打印工作停止后储墨腔14内的墨水可能自出墨口11流出而发生漏墨。由于储墨腔14并未与外界大气连通,在墨盒100被使用的过程中,墨水不会被外界空气氧化而出现结块现象,从而避免了成像设备的打印头210出现堵塞的问题。
通过变形件4的变形即可使得储墨腔14内的墨水被挤出,储墨腔14内也并未设置有如现有的墨盒中所设置的控气机构,不会出现因控气机构的存在而减小储墨腔14用于储存墨水的有效空间的问题,增加了墨盒100的墨水容量,且简化了墨盒100的结构,提升了组装效率,降低了制造成本。
进一步地,下端面10b可以设置有滑轨(图中未示出),成像设备内设置有 引导轨道(图中未示出)。在墨盒100被安装于成像设备或自成像设备卸下的过程中,通过滑轨与引导轨道的配合使得墨盒100稳固地安装于成像设备内,且有利于墨盒100顺利装入或卸下。
请参见图5,盒体1包括底座15和面盖16,底座15和面盖16共同围合形成容纳腔,面盖16与底座15可采用焊接、粘附、插接配合、螺纹配合等方式进行连接。
具体地,变形件4与底座15共同围合形成储墨腔14,变形件4与面盖16共同围合形成第一腔体。前端面10e位于面盖16,上端面10a、下端面10b、左端面10c、右端面10d和后端面10f位于底座15,第一腔体靠近前端面10e设置,储墨腔14靠近后端面10f设置;或者,后端面10f位于面盖16,上端面10a、下端面10b、左端面10c、右端面10d和前端面10e位于底座15,第一腔体靠近后端面10f设置,储墨腔14靠近前端面10e设置。
请继续参见图5,致动装置包括支撑板5和致动组件(图中未示出),且支撑板5与变形件4接触。在变形件4发生形变的过程中,致动组件可向支撑板5施加作用力以使储墨腔14内形成有负压,负压与作用力和/或支撑板的面积正相关。
在一些实施例中,支撑板5与变形件4分离设置,且支撑板5位于变形件4面向储墨腔14的一侧。当变形件4向靠近支撑板5的方向发生形变时,变形件4可与支撑板5发生接触。
在另一些实施例中,支撑板5与变形件4可以连接设置,即支撑板5可以设置于变形件4面向储墨腔14的表面。因此,支撑板5也位于变形件4面向储墨腔14的一侧。
进一步地,致动组件包括弹性件6,且弹性件6设置于支撑板5与储墨腔14面向变形件4的内壁之间。
在变形件4发生变形的过程中,变形件4可带动支撑板5向靠近储墨腔14面向的内壁的方向移动,此时,弹性件6处于压缩状态,弹性件6可对支撑板5施加支撑并传递至变形件4,使得变形件4的变形不会完全消除储墨腔14内的负压。
储墨腔14内的负压的大小与支撑板5的面积呈正相关,支撑板5的面积越 大,储墨腔14内的负压越大。此外,储墨腔14内的负压的大小还与弹性件6被压缩后所产生的弹性力呈正相关,弹性件6被压缩后所产生的弹性力越大,储墨腔14内的负压越大,且弹性件6被压缩后所产生的弹性力大小与其材料、形状等因素相关。
具体地,在墨盒100被使用的过程中,储墨腔14内的负压需要保持在一个较为适中的范围内。若储墨腔14内的负压过大,不仅会导致储墨腔14内的墨水不易被供墨机构吸出的问题,而且由于成像设备内通常设置有多个用于储存不同颜色墨水的墨盒100,还会导致打印头210上的喷孔(图中未示出)容易吸入打印头210表面上的不同颜色墨水而出现混色甚至损坏打印头210的问题;若储墨腔14内的负压过小,成像设备处于待机状态时,打印头210很容易发生滴墨的问题。
在一些实施例中,支撑板5与储墨腔14的底面积之间的比值大于或等于30%。优选地,支撑板5与储墨腔14的底面积之间的比值大于或等于50%。
具体地,支撑板5的面积大小越接近储墨腔14的底面积大小,即变形件4与支撑板5相接触的面积越大,使得变形件4可被撑起的区域的面积越大,储墨腔14内可保持的负压越大,避免了因储墨腔14内负压不稳而出现漏墨的问题。支撑板5与储墨腔14的底面积之间的比值可以为30%、35%、40%、45%、50%、55%、60%、65%、70%、80%、85%、90%、95%、100%等,在此不作限定。在本申请实施例中,支撑板5与储墨腔14的底面积之间的比值可以为60%。
请参见图5、图8和图9,在一些实施例中,弹性件6为锥形弹簧,且在靠近变形件4的方向上,锥形弹簧的外径逐渐增大。支撑板5贯通设置有避让孔53,当锥形弹簧处于压缩状态时,锥形弹簧的至少部分可伸入避让孔53内。
具体地,储墨腔14面向变形件4的内壁凸出延伸形成有导向柱153,锥形弹簧的一端套设于该导向柱153的外周,这样可以为锥形弹簧与底座15的连接提供定位作用,且可以防止锥形弹簧在发生形变的过程中发生偏移。
当锥形弹簧被压缩至一定程度时,锥形弹簧的外径小于避让孔53的内径的部分可以伸入避让孔53内,这样可以释放锥形弹簧的部分弹性势能,避免锥形弹簧的弹性力全部施加于支撑板5并传递至变形件4,在储墨腔14内的墨水被完全耗尽的过程中,锥形弹簧施加于支撑板5上的作用力基本保持不变,有利于储 墨腔14内的墨水被完全排出;此外,这样还可以防止储墨腔14内的负压过大,由于成像设备内通常设置有多个用于储存不同颜色墨水的墨盒100,避免了打印头210上的喷孔(图中未示出)吸入打印头210表面上的不同颜色墨水而导致出现混色的问题。
进一步地,锥形弹簧在自然状态下的长度大于第一腔体及储墨腔14面向变形件4的两个内壁之间的距离。
具体地,在初始状态下,锥形弹簧处于压缩状态,此时,第一腔体的体积较小;当供气机构220向充气口12充气时,变形件4在气压的作用下带动支撑板5向靠近储墨腔14面向变形件4的内壁的方向移动,从而进一步地压缩锥形弹簧;当供气机构220停止向充气口12充气后,锥形弹簧可以释放更大的弹性势能,有利于第一腔体内的气体自充气口12排出,从而有利于储墨腔14内保持一定的负压。
在一些实施例中,变形件4可以为弹性薄膜。该变形件4可以通过焊接、粘附等方式与支撑板5进行连接;或者,该变形件4可以与支撑板5分离设置,且支撑板5位于变形件4面向储墨腔14的一侧。
在另一些实施例中,请参见图6至图9,变形件4可以由其他任意具有弹性的材料制成,且变形件4具有一定的硬度。
在一种可行的实施方式中,变形件4可以与支撑板5分离设置,且支撑板5位于变形件4面向储墨腔14的一侧。
在另一种可行的实施方式中,变形件4上可以形成有安装结构(图中未示出)以用于安装支撑板5。
具体地,变形件4包括第一本体部41和第一凸出部42,第一凸出部42自第一本体部41面向第一腔体的侧壁凸出延伸,以使第一本体部41面向储墨腔14的侧壁内凹形成有第一安装槽43。支撑板5包括第二本体部51和第二凸出部52,第二凸出部52自第二本体部51背向储墨腔14的侧壁凸出延伸。
第二凸出部52可以插接于第一安装槽43内,这样可为变形件4与支撑板5的连接提供定位作用,变形件4与支撑板5可以采用焊接、粘附、一体成型等方式进行连接。
进一步地,第二本体部51面向储墨腔14的侧壁可以内凹形成有第二安装槽 54,锥形弹簧的一端可以抵接于该第二安装槽54内,这样可为锥形弹簧与支撑板5的连接提供定位作用,且还可以防止锥形弹簧在发生形变的过程中发生偏移。
在一些实施例中,墨盒100还包括密封膜,密封膜设置于底座15与面盖16之间,密封膜与变形件4共同围合形成第一腔体。
具体地,变形件4设置于底座15内,变形件4与底座15共同围合形成储墨腔14,密封膜设置于底座15靠近并面向面盖16的端面,面盖16再盖设于底座15上。密封膜可以与变形件4设置在同一端面,也可以设置在不同端面。变形件4与密封膜共同围合形成第一腔体,面盖16与密封膜接触以防止密封膜发生形变,这样提高了第一腔体和储墨腔14的密封性,有利于变形件4正常地发生形变。
在一种成像设备中,当墨盒100被安装于成像设备内后,墨盒100与打印头210直接连通,即供墨机构可以将墨水直接输送至打印头210,随着储墨腔14内的墨水不断地被消耗,储墨腔14内形成一定负压,这样还可以将打印头210中的气泡吸入墨盒100,提升了成像设备的打印性能和质量。
在另一种成像设备中,成像设备内还设置有副墨腔(图中未示出),该副墨腔连接于供墨机构与打印头210之间,即供墨机构可以首先将墨水输送至副墨腔,当检测到副墨腔内的墨水达到一定容量时,再将副墨腔内的墨水输送至打印头210。
进一步地,储墨腔14内容纳有气体,且气体的容量大于或等于4ml。
具体地,初始状态下,储墨腔14内容纳有一定容量墨水和气体,墨水和气体的总体积等于储墨腔14的初始体积;当储墨腔14内的墨水耗尽时,储墨腔14内的气体将会排入副墨腔内,通过检测副墨腔内是否出现气泡,可以用于提示用户墨盒100内储存的墨水是否耗尽,从而提醒用户更换墨盒100。
气体可以为空气或惰性气体,其中,惰性气体包括但不限于氦气、氖气、氩气、氪气、氙气、氡气、氮气等,且气体的容量可以为4ml、4.5ml、5ml、5.5ml、6ml、6.5ml、7ml、7.5ml、8ml、8.5ml、9ml、9.5ml、10ml等,在此不作限定。在本申请实施例中,气体可以为氮气,且气体的容量可以为5ml。
由于储墨腔14内仅容纳有少量气体且储墨腔14不与外界大气连通,当该气体为空气时,其仅能与墨水发生有限的氧化反应,墨水并不会出现较为严重的结块现象,从而不会出现堵塞打印头的问题;当该气体为惰性气体时,其并不会与 墨水发生氧化反应,墨水不会出现结块现象,从而不会出现堵塞打印头的问题。
请参见图4,后端面10f贯穿设置有墨水通道17,出墨口11通过该墨水通道17与储墨腔14连通。墨盒100还包括密封件8a,该密封件8a设置于后端面10f以密封墨水通道17,防止储墨腔14内的墨水可能自墨水通道17发生泄漏。
具体地,当用户向储墨腔14内注入一定容量的墨水后,用户可以通过该墨水通道17向储墨腔14内注入一定容量的气体,然后再将密封件8a粘附于后端面10f以密封该墨水通道17。
可以理解的是,墨水通道17也可以设置于盒体1内,这样无需额外设置密封件8a,降低了生产成本,提升了组装效率。充气口12也可以采用类似前述墨水通道17的结构与第一腔体连通,只要能实现充气口12与第一腔体连通即可,在此不作限定。
进一步地,盒体1上还设置有与储墨腔14连通的注墨口(图中未示出),用户可以通过该注墨口向储墨腔14内注入一定容量的墨水,使得墨盒100可以回收利用,降低了打印成本。
请继续参见图5,墨盒100包括阀组件7,阀组件7设置于出墨口11内以密封出墨口11。
具体地,当墨盒100未被安装于成像设备内时,阀组件7可以密封出墨口11,在安装或运输的过程中,可以防止储墨腔14内的墨水可能自出墨口11发生泄漏;当墨盒100被安装于成像设备内后,供墨机构的至少部分插接于出墨口11内,供墨机构可驱动阀组件7敞开出墨口11,使得储墨腔14内的墨水可以自出墨口11流出并流向供墨机构。
在一些实施例中,阀组件7包括配合件71、封堵件72和回复件73,其中,配合件71沿第二方向(X轴的负方向)贯通设置有出墨通道(图中未示出),封堵件72通过回复件73与出墨口11的内壁连接。
具体地,当墨盒100未被安装于成像设备内时,封堵件72与配合件71紧密接触以封堵出墨通道,即实现了密封出墨口11;当墨盒100被安装于成像设备内后,供墨机构伸入出墨口11的部分可以推动封堵件72向远离配合件71的方向移动,使得封堵件72与配合件71脱离接触以敞开出墨通道,即实现了敞开出墨口11,此时,回复件73处于压缩状态;当墨盒100再次被自成像设备卸下时, 封堵件72在回复件73的弹性作用下移动至初始位置并再次与配合件71接触,封堵件72可以再次封堵出墨通道,即再次密封出墨口11。回复件73可以为弹簧、拉簧、板簧、橡胶块等其他任意具有弹性的部件,在此不作限定。在本申请实施例中,回复件73可以为弹簧。
在一些实施例中,阀组件7包括自密闭件,该自密闭件设置有弹性开口。当墨盒100未被安装于成像设备内时,该弹性开口封闭以密封出墨口11;当墨盒100被安装于成像设备内后,供墨机构伸入出墨口11内的部分可以刺破该弹性开口以敞开出墨口11。
可以理解的是,阀组件7还可以为其他任意可以用于密封或敞开出墨口11的阀门结构,在此不作限定。
请继续参见图2至图5,墨盒100还包括芯片2和安装架3,芯片2通过安装架3设置于盒体1上。当墨盒100被安装于成像设备内后,成像设备内设置的接触机构(图中未示出)可以与芯片2相接触以实现电连接,从而实现墨盒100与成像设备的电通信。
具体地,盒体1上贯穿上端面10a、左端面10c、前端面10e和后端面10f设置有凹陷部13,芯片2通过安装架3设置于凹陷部13内,这样使得芯片2和安装架3的存在不会增加墨盒100的尺寸,避免了芯片2和/或安装架3与成像设备内的其他部件发生干涉,有利于墨盒100的装入或卸下。
可以理解的是,凹陷部13可以仅贯穿盒体1上的任意一个端面设置;或者,凹陷部13可以贯穿盒体1上的任意一个端面及与其相邻的一个或多个其他端面设置;或者,盒体1上也可以不设置凹陷部13,芯片2通过安装架3直接设置于盒体1上的任意一个端面上,在此不作限定。例如,凹陷部13可以仅贯穿上端面10a设置;或者,凹陷部13可以贯穿上端面10a和右端面10d设置;或者,芯片2通过安装架3直接设置于上端面10a。
需要说明的是,芯片2也可以直接设置于凹陷部13内或盒体1上的任意一个端面上,而无需额外设置安装架3。
请参见图10至图12,安装架3可拆卸地设置于凹陷部13内,且安装架3包括抵靠部31、插接部32和操作部33。抵靠部31自操作部33的右侧沿第二方向(X轴的负方向)延伸,插接部32自抵靠部31的下侧沿第一方向(Z轴的负 方向)延伸,芯片2设置于操作部33上。
具体地,当安装架3设置于凹陷部13内时,插接部32可以插接于凹陷部13的插接孔(图中未示出)内,抵靠部31可以与上端面10a抵接。用户还可以握持操作部33并施加沿第一方向的反方向(Z轴的正方向)的作用力,使得插接部32可以自插接孔内被拔出,从而取下安装架3。
请继续参见图10和图11,在一些实施例中,操作部33包括沿第三方向(Y轴的负方向)相对的前侧壁331a和后侧壁331b,芯片2可拆卸地设置于前侧壁331a。
具体地,前侧壁331a设置有容纳槽332,芯片2可拆卸地设置于容纳槽332内,即芯片2可以沿第二方向(X轴的负方向)安装于容纳槽332内,也可以沿第二方向的反方向(X轴的正方向)自容纳槽332内被取下。芯片2远离并背向前侧壁331a的表面设置有多个触点(图中未示出),接触机构可以与该多个触点接触以实现电连接。
可以理解的是,该容纳槽332也可以设置于后侧壁331b,此时,芯片2远离并背向后侧壁331b的表面设置有多个触点。
请继续参见图12,在一些实施例中,操作部33沿第二方向(X轴的负方向)贯穿设置有安装腔333,且该安装腔333具有沿第三方向(Y轴的负方向)相对的前侧壁331a和后侧壁331b,芯片2设置于前侧壁331a或后侧壁331b的内侧。
具体地,当墨盒100被安装于成像设备内后,接触机构可以插接于该安装腔333内,接触机构上的触针可以与芯片2上的触点接触以实现电连接,避免了接触机构发生晃动或偏移,有利于提高接触机构与芯片2的电连接稳定性。
前侧壁331a或后侧壁331b的内侧设置有容纳槽332,芯片2设置于该容纳槽332内。当容纳槽332设置于前侧壁331a的内侧时,芯片2远离并背向前侧壁331a的表面设置有多个触点;当容纳槽332设置于后侧壁331b的内侧时,芯片2远离并背向后侧壁331b的表面设置有多个触点。
可以理解的是,容纳槽332也可以设置于前侧壁331a或后侧壁331b的外侧。
需要说明的是,前述两种不同结构的安装架3可拆卸地设置于盒体1上,以使墨盒100呈现出两种不同类型,即当盒体1上设置有前述第一种结构的安装架3时,该墨盒100呈现出第一种类型,使得该墨盒100可以被安装于对应的第一 种类型的成像设备内;当盒体1上设置有前述第二种结构的安装架3时,该墨盒100呈现出第二种类型,使得该墨盒100可以被安装于对应的第二种类型的成像设备内。
此外,一个墨盒100可以选择性地设置前述任意一种结构的安装架3,以使该墨盒100可以选择性地呈现第一种或第二种类型,从而使该墨盒100既可以设置于对应地第一种类型的成像设备内,也可以设置于对应地第二种类型的成像设备内,提高了墨盒100的通用性。
实施例2
请参见图13和图14,与实施例1中的墨盒100的结构基本相同,不同点在于,弹性件6为弧形弹片。
在一些实施例中,弧形弹片向靠近支撑板5的方向凸出。
具体地,弧形弹片包括第一连接部61、第二连接部62和弧形部63,且弧形部63连接于第一连接部61与第二连接部62之间,其中,第一连接部61和第二连接部62分别与储墨腔14面向变形件4的内壁连接,弧形部63向靠近支撑板5的方向凸出并与支撑板5连接。当变形件4发生变形时,变形件4可以带动支撑板5向靠近储墨腔14面向变形件4的内壁的方向移动,使得支撑板5可以按压弧形部63以减小弧形部63的凸出程度。
在另一些实施例中,弧形弹片向远离支撑板5的方向凸出。
具体地,弧形弹片包括第一连接部61、第二连接部62和弧形部63,且弧形部63连接于第一连接部61与第二连接部62之间,其中,第一连接部61和第二连接部62分别与变形件4连接,弧形部63向远离支撑板5的方向凸出,且弧形部63的中间位置与储墨腔14面向变形件4的内壁连接。
进一步地,弧形弹片在自然状态下与储墨腔14面向变形件4的内壁之间的最大距离大于第一腔体及储墨腔14面向变形件4的两个内壁之间的距离。
具体地,在初始状态下,弧形部63处于压缩状态,此时,第一腔体的体积较小;当供气机构220向充气口12充气时,变形件4在气压的作用下带动支撑板5向靠近储墨腔14面向变形件4的内壁的方向移动,从而进一步地压缩弧形部63;当供气机构220停止向充气口12充气后,弧形部63可以释放更大的弹性势能,有利于第一腔体内的气体自充气口12排出,从而有利于储墨腔14内保持 一定的负压。
需要说明的是,支撑板5可以采用焊接、粘附、一体成型、螺纹配合、插接配合等方式与弧形弹片进行连接,在此不作限定。
实施例3
请参见图15,与实施例1中的墨盒100的结构基本相同,不同点在于,致动组件包括固定板8d,固定板8d和支撑板5通过磁吸作用以向变形件4施加作用力,而并未设置有如前述实施例1或2中的弹性件6。

在一些实施例中,固定板8d可以为磁性板,使得固定板8d可产生磁场,支撑板5可以为被固定板8d吸引的金属板。
具体地,固定板8d的材质可以为铁氧体、铝镍钴合金、钐钴合金、钕铁硼磁铁、天然磁石,支撑板5的材质可以为铁、钴、镍等其他任意可被磁场所吸引的金属,在此不作限定。在本申请实施例中,固定板8d的材质可以为天然磁石,支撑板5的材质可以为铁。

在另一些实施例中,固定板8d可以为电磁铁,支撑板5可以为被固定板8d吸引的金属板或磁性板。
具体地,当墨盒100被安装于成像设备内后,固定板8d可与成像设备实现电连接,使得固定板8d可以产生电磁场以吸引支撑板5。
在又一些实施例中,支撑板5的材质可以为塑料或其他任意不具有铁磁性的材料,固定板8d可以为金属板,支撑板5上固定设置有磁性板(图中未示出)。

需要说明的是,致动组件也可以同时包括固定板8d和弹性件6,其中,弹性 件6的结构与前述实施例1或2中的相同,在此不再赘述。
实施例4
请参见图16,与实施例1中的墨盒100的结构基本相同,不同点在于,弹性件6的数量可以为1个,且弹性件6整体悬置于储墨腔14内,弹性件6不与储墨腔14面向变形件4的内壁直接连接。
具体地,致动装置包括弹性件6,弹性件6设置于储墨腔14内,且弹性件6的至少部分与变形件4面向储墨腔14的表面直接接触或间接接触。储墨腔14具有沿第一方向(Z轴的负方向)相对的第一侧壁141和第二侧壁142以及沿第二方向(X轴的负方向)相对的第三侧壁143和第四侧壁144。
在一些实施例中,弹性件6连接于第三侧壁143与第四侧壁144之间。
请参见图17至图19,第三侧壁143设置有至少一个沿第三方向的反方向(Y轴的正方向)凸出延伸的第一安装柱145a,第四侧壁144设置有至少一个沿第三方向的反方向(Y轴的正方向)凸出延伸的第二安装柱145b,且弹性件6分别套设于第一安装柱145a和第二安装柱145b的外周。
第一安装柱145a和/或第二安装柱145b的数量可以为1个或N个,其中,N为大于1的正整数。优选地,第一安装柱145a和第二安装柱145b的数量都可以为2个。

与现有技术相比,在本发明所提供的一种墨盒100中,当该墨盒100被装入成像设备并进入打印状态后,成像设备首先通过充气口12向第一腔体内充气,变形件4发生变形以缩小储墨腔14的体积,使得储墨腔14内的墨水被挤出,然后成像设备再停止充气,变形件4在致动装置的作用下发生一定程度的收缩变形,使得储墨腔14内形成一定的负压,避免打印工作停止后储墨腔14内的墨水可能自出墨口11流出而发生漏墨。较现有的墨盒而言,由于储墨腔14并未与外界大气连通,在墨盒100被使用的过程中,墨水不会被外界空气氧化而出现结块现象,从而避免了成像设备的打印头210出现堵塞的问题;此外,通过变形件4的变形即可使得储墨腔14内的墨水被挤出,而储墨腔14内无需额外设置控气机构,简化了墨盒100的结构,提升了组装效率。
实施例6
在现有的墨盒中,由于通气口与储墨腔直接连通,使得少量的墨水可能从通气口泄漏,即使在通气口处设置防水透气件,但其密封性能也较为有限,且防水透气件的透气性能还会因其表面粘附墨水而受到较大的影响。因此,现有的墨盒还存在易通过通气口漏墨的问题。
为了解决上述技术问题,本申请进一步改进了墨盒结构,改进后的墨盒100至少包括盒体1和变形件4,其中,盒体1具有容纳腔,变形件4设置于容纳腔内以将容纳腔分隔为第一腔体和第二腔体;盒体1内还设置有分隔部152,分隔部152将第二腔体分隔为储墨腔14和缓冲腔18,且储墨腔14与缓冲腔18连通;盒体1的外侧壁设置有出墨口11、充气口12和进气口19,其中,出墨口11与储墨腔14连通,进气口19与缓冲腔18连通,充气口12与第一腔体连通。此外,墨盒100的其他结构与上述实施例中的墨盒结构基本相同。
对于分隔部152和缓冲腔18的结构本申请提供了多种实施例。
请参见图23,本申请实施例提供了一种墨盒100,至少包括盒体1和变形件4,其中,盒体1具有容纳腔(图中未示出),变形件4设置于容纳腔内以将容纳腔分隔为第一腔体(图中未示出)和第二腔体(图中未示出)。
盒体1内还设置有分隔部152,分隔部152将第二腔体分隔为储墨腔14和缓冲腔18,且储墨腔14与缓冲腔18连通。盒体1的外侧壁还设置有出墨口11、充气口12和进气口19,其中,出墨口11与储墨腔14连通,进气口19与缓冲腔18连通,充气口12与第一腔体连通。当墨盒100被安装于成像设备内后,供墨机构可插接于出墨口11内,供气机构220可插接于充气口12内。
在本申请中,随着储墨腔14内的墨水不断地被消耗,储墨腔14内将会形成一定的负压,当储墨腔14内的负压达到某一阈值时,外界空气将会自进气口19被吸入缓冲腔18内,然后再流向储墨腔14以消除负压,改善了墨盒100的气压平衡性能,有利于墨水顺利地自出墨口11流出,且缓冲腔18的存在延长了储墨腔14与进气口19之间的流动路径,避免了进气口19与储墨腔14直接连通,从而防止了墨水可能自进气口19泄露,提升了墨盒100的密封性能。
此外,当供气机构220没有工作时,充气口12可相当于一导气口与外界大气相通。供气机构220可以自充气口12以向第一腔体内充气,使得储墨腔14内的墨水可以源源不断地挤出,提升了墨盒100的供墨效率。由于第一腔体与第二腔体分离设置,较现有的墨盒而言,其无需额外设置单向阀等机构来封闭进气口19,简化了墨盒100的结构,降低了生产成本,提升了组装效率。
下文将以进气口19设置于上端面10a以及充气口12设置于左端面10c为例进行说明。
分隔部152面向变形件4的表面设置有连接流道9,该连接流道9连接于储墨腔14与缓冲腔18之间,这样使得外界空气可以依次经进气口19、缓冲腔18和连接流道9而进入储墨腔14内。
在一些实施例中,分隔部152设置有连接凹槽93,缓冲腔18与连接流道9通过连接凹槽93直接连通。
请参见图24和图25,连接流道9包括两个第一流道91及连接于两个第一流道91之间的第二流道92,其中,一个第一流道91与储墨腔14连通,另一个第一流道91与缓冲腔18连通。
具体地,两个第一流道91沿第二方向对称间隔设置,即第一个第一流道91靠近储墨腔14设置,第二个第一流道91靠近缓冲腔18设置,第二流道92连接于两个第一流道91之间以形成蛇形结构。此外,任意一个第一流道91都包括沿 第一方向相对的第一端(图中未示出)和第二端(未示出)。
分隔部152设置有两个连接凹槽93,其中,第一个连接凹槽93设置于分隔部152靠近上端面10a的顶端,第二个连接凹槽93设置于分隔部152靠近下端面10b的底端。第一个第一流道91的第一端通过第一个连接凹槽93与缓冲腔18连通,第二个第一流道91的第二端通过第二个连接凹槽93与储墨腔14连通。
随着储墨腔14内的墨水不断地被消耗,储墨腔14内形成一定的负压,外界空气经进气口19吸入缓冲腔18,然而再依次流经第一个连接凹槽93、第一个第一流道91、第二流道92、第二个第一流道91和第二个连接凹槽93而进入储墨腔14内。
在另一些实施例中,盒体1的外侧壁设置有第一导气通道101,缓冲腔18与连接流道9通过第一导气通道101间接连通。
请参见图26和图27,连接流道9包括两个第一流道91及连接于两个第一流道91之间的第二流道92,其中,一个第一流道91与储墨腔14连通,另一个第一流道91与缓冲腔18连通。
具体地,两个第一流道91沿第二方向对称间隔设置,即第一个第一流道91靠近储墨腔14设置,第二个第一流道91靠近缓冲腔18设置,第二流道92连接于两个第一流道91之间以形成蛇形结构。此外,任意一个第一流道91都包括沿第一方向相对的第一端(图中未示出)和第二端(未示出)。
后端面10f贯穿设置有两个导气孔154,其中,第一个导气孔154与缓冲腔18连通,第二个导气孔154与第一个第一流道91的第一端连通。
具体地,后端面10f还内凹形成有第一导气通道101,第一导气通道101的一端与第一个导气孔154连通,第一导气通道101的另一端与第二个导气孔154连通。墨盒100还包括密封件8a,该密封件8a设置于后端面10f以封闭第一导气通道101,以避免墨水可能自第一导气通道101流出而发生泄漏。
分隔部152设置有一个连接凹槽93,该连接凹槽93设置于分隔部152靠近下端面10b的底端,第二个第一流道91的第二端通过第二个连接凹槽93与储墨腔14连通。
随着储墨腔14内的墨水不断地被消耗,储墨腔14内形成一定的负压,外界空气经进气口19吸入缓冲腔18,然而再依次流经第一个导气孔154、第一导气 通道101、第二个导气孔154、第一个第一流道91、第二流道92和第二个第一流道91而进入储墨腔14内。
在本申请中,由于第一流道91被构造为当流体自第一端流向第二端的过程中可以加速流体的流动,流体自第二端流向第一端的过程中可以阻碍流体的流动,这样可以防止大量的墨水流入连接流道9及缓冲腔18内;此外,外界空气还可以将缓冲腔18及连接流道9内残留的墨水带入储墨腔14内。
需要说明的是,第一流道91的数量可以为N个,第二流道92的数量可以为N-1个,其中,N为大于2的正整数,且第一流道91和第二流道92交替分布。
在又一些实施例中,连接流道9包括至少一个第一流道91,且任意一个第一流道91连接于储墨腔14和缓冲腔18之间。
具体地,连接流道9包括一个或多个第一流道91,任意一个第一流道91包括第一端(图中未示出)和第二端(图中未示出),且任意一个第一流道91的第一端与储墨腔14连通,任意一个第一流道91的第二端与缓冲腔18连通,即多个第一流道91可以单独地连通储墨腔14和缓冲腔18。优选地,第一流道91可以为特斯拉阀式流道结构。第一流道91还可被构造依据流体不同流向,以实现对流体加速或减速流动的其他结构。
请参见图23,进一步地,墨盒100还包括吸附件8c,吸附件8c容置于缓冲腔18内以吸收墨水,以避免墨水可能自进气口19流出而发生泄漏。
具体地,吸附件8c可以由海绵、纤维或其他任意可以吸收液体的材料制成,在此不作限定。在本申请实施例中,吸附件8c可以为多孔海绵。由于盒体1外的气压大于储墨腔14内的气压,外界空气自进气口19吸入后还可以将吸附件8c所吸收的部分墨水通过连接流道9带入储墨腔14内。
可以理解的是,缓冲腔18内既可以设置有吸附件8c,也可以不设置吸附件8c。
实施例7
请参见图28至图31,与实施例6中的墨盒100的结构基本相同,不同点在于,分隔部152面向变形件4的表面内凹形成有第一缓冲槽151。
具体地,分隔部152面向变形件4的表面具有与第一缓冲槽151连通的第一开口(图中未示出),其中,第一开口与储墨腔14连通,即第一开口与变形件4 之间形成有间隙,第一开口通过该间隙与储墨腔14连通,且第一缓冲槽151还与连接流道9连通。
请参见图28,墨盒100还包括过滤件8b,过滤件8b设置于第一开口处。过滤件8b可以为由透气透水材料或透气非透水材料所制成的过滤膜或者由金属材料所制成的过滤网。优选地,过滤件8b可以为由透气非透水材料所制成的过滤膜。
具体地,由于第一开口与储墨腔14连通,储墨腔14内的墨水将会附着至过滤件8b的缝隙内,这样可以防止墨水流入第一缓冲槽151或减小流入第一缓冲槽151内的墨水量,同时还可以防止储墨腔14内的空气流入第一缓冲槽151内并自进气口19排出,有利于储墨腔14内维持一定的负压以吸收外界空气。
盒体1的外侧壁设置有第二导气通道102,第一缓冲槽151与连接流道9通过第二导气通道102间接连通。
请参见图30和图31,后端面10f贯穿设置有两个导气孔154,其中,,第一导气孔154设置于第一缓冲槽151中,第二个导气孔154设置于第二个第一流道91的第二端,通过两个导气孔154实现第一缓冲槽151与第二个第一流道91的第二端的连通。
具体地,后端面10f还内凹形成有第二导气通道102,第二导气通道102的一端与第一个导气孔154连通,第二导气通道102的另一端与第二个导气孔154连通。墨盒100还包括密封件8a,该密封件8a设置于后端面10f以封闭第二导气通道102,以避免墨水可能自第二导气通道102流出而发生泄漏。
分隔部152设置有一个连接凹槽93,该连接凹槽93设置于分隔部152靠近上端面10a的顶端,第一个第一流道91的第一端通过该连接凹槽93与缓冲腔18连通。
随着储墨腔14内的墨水不断地被消耗,储墨腔14内形成一定的负压,外界空气经进气口19吸入缓冲腔18,然而再依次流经连接凹槽93、第一个第一流道91、第二流道92、第二个第一流道91、第二个导气孔154、第二导气通道102和第一个导气孔154进入至第一缓冲槽151中,在通过设置于第一开口的过滤件8b、进入储墨腔14内。
可以理解的是,第一个第一流道91的第一端也可以采用如实施例6中所述 的通过第一导气通道101与缓冲腔18连通,在此不再赘述。
另外,墨盒100还包括容置于缓冲腔18内的吸附件8c,吸附件8c的作用及材料与前述实施例6中的相同,在此不再赘述。此外,在外界空气自进气口19进入储墨腔14内的过程中,由于盒体1外的气压大于储墨腔14内的气压,进气过程中会对过滤件8b产生瞬时冲击力,通过设置吸附件8c可以对进入储墨腔14中的气流进行缓冲,避免过滤件8b脱落或破损。
可以理解的是,缓冲腔18内既可以设置有吸附件8c,也可以不设置吸附件8c。
实施例8
请参见图32和图33,与实施例6中的墨盒100的结构基本相同,不同点在于,缓冲腔18面向变形件4的内壁凸出延伸形成有延伸部155,延伸部155内贯通设置有第二缓冲槽156。
具体地,延伸部155面向变形件4的表面具有与第二缓冲槽156连通的第二开口,其中,第二开口与缓冲腔18连通,即第二开口与变形件4之间形成有间隙,第二开口通过该间隙与缓冲腔18连通,且第二缓冲槽156与连接流道9连通。
墨盒100还包括过滤件8b,过滤件8b设置于第二开口处。过滤件8b可以为由透气透水材料或透气非透水材料所制成的过滤膜或者由金属材料所制成的过滤网。优选地,过滤件8b可以为由透气非透水材料所制成的过滤膜。
具体地,由于第二开口与缓冲腔18连通,储墨腔14内的少部分墨水流入第二缓冲槽156内,墨水将会附着至过滤件8b的缝隙内,这样可以防止墨水流入缓冲腔18或减小流入缓冲腔18内的墨水量,同时还可以防止储墨腔14内的空气流入第二缓冲槽156内并自进气口19排出,有利于储墨腔14内维持一定的负压以吸收外界空气。
盒体1的外侧壁设置有第三导气通道103,第二缓冲槽156与连接流道9通过第三导气通道103间接连通。
请参见图32和图33,后端面10f贯穿设置有两个导气孔154,其中,第一个导气孔154与第二缓冲槽156连通,第二个导气孔154与第一个第一流道91的第一端连通。

随着储墨腔14内的墨水不断地被消耗,储墨腔14内形成一定的负压,外界空气经进气口19吸入缓冲腔18,然而再依次流经第二开口、第二缓冲槽156、第一个导气孔154、第三导气通道103、第二个导气孔154、第一个第一流道91、第二流道92、第二个第一流道91和连接凹槽93而进入储墨腔14内。
可以理解的是,第二个第一流道91的第二端也可以采用如实施例7中所述的通过第二导气通道102与储墨腔14连通,在此不再赘述。
另外,墨盒100还包括容置于缓冲腔18内的吸附件8c,吸附件8c的作用及材料与前述实施例6中的相同,在此不再赘述。此外,在外界空气自进气口19进入储墨腔14内的过程中,由于盒体1外的气压大于储墨腔14内的气压,进气过程中会对过滤件8b产生瞬时冲击力,通过设置吸附件8c可以对进入储墨腔14中的气流进行缓冲,避免过滤件8b脱落或破损。
可以理解的是,缓冲腔18内既可以设置有吸附件8c,也可以不设置吸附件8c。
实施例9
请参见图34和图35,与实施例6中的墨盒100的结构基本相同,不同点在于,分隔部152面向变形件4的表面内凹形成有第一缓冲槽151,且缓冲腔18面向变形件4的内壁凸出延伸形成有延伸部155,延伸部155内贯通设置有第二缓冲槽156。

另外,墨盒100还包括容置于缓冲腔18内的吸附件8c,吸附件8c的作用及材料与前述实施例6中的相同,在此不再赘述。此外,在外界空气自进气口19进入储墨腔14内的过程中,由于盒体1外的气压大于储墨腔14内的气压,进气过程中会对过滤件8b产生瞬时冲击力,通过设置吸附件8c可以对进入储墨腔14中的气流进行缓冲,避免过滤件8b脱落或破损。
可以理解的是,缓冲腔18内既可以设置有吸附件8c,也可以不设置吸附件8c。
实施例10
请参见图36至图38,与实施例6中的墨盒100的结构基本相同,不同点在于,第一流道91为迷宫式流道结构。
请参见图37,连接流道9包括两个第一流道91,其中,第一个第一流道91靠近上端面10a设置,第二个流道靠近下端面10b设置,且任意一个第一流道91都具有第一端和第二端。
具体地,第一个第一流道91与缓冲腔18连通,第二个第一流道91与储墨腔14连通,且任意一个第一流道91呈蛇形等迷宫式流道结构。
盒体1的外侧壁设置有第一导气通道101和第四导气通道104,缓冲腔18与连接流道9通过第一导气通道101间接连通,任意相邻的两个第一流道91之间通过第四导气通道104间接连通。
后端面10f贯穿设置有四个导气孔154,其中,第一个导气孔154与缓冲腔18连通,第二个导气孔154与第二个第一流道91的第一端连通,第三导气孔154与第二个第一流道91的第二端连通,第四个导气孔154与第一个第一流道91的第一端连通。
具体地,后端面10f还内凹形成有第一导气通道101和第四导气通道104,第一导气通道101的一端与第一个导气孔154连通,第一导气通道101的另一端与第二个导气孔154连通,第四导气通道104的一端与第三个导气孔154连通,第四导气通道104的另一端与第四个导气孔154连通。墨盒100还包括密封件8a,该密封件8a设置于后端面10f以封闭第一导气通道101和第四导气通道104,以避免墨水可能自第一导气通道101或第四导气通道104流出而发生泄漏。
分隔部152设置有一个连接凹槽93,该连接凹槽93设置于分隔部152靠近 下端面10b的底端,第一个第一流道91的第二端通过该连接凹槽93与储墨腔14连通。
另外,墨盒100还包括容置于缓冲腔18内的吸附件8c,吸附件8c的材料与前述实施例6中的相同,在此不再赘述。吸附件8c用于避免墨水可能自进气口19流出而发生泄漏。
随着储墨腔14内的墨水不断地被消耗,储墨腔14内形成一定的负压,外界空气经进气口19吸入缓冲腔18,然而再依次流经吸附件8c、第一个导气孔154、第一导气通道101、第二个导气孔154、第二个第一流道91、第三个导气孔154、第四导气通道104、第一个第一流道91和连接凹槽93而进入储墨腔14内。
可以理解的是,分隔部152靠近下端面10b可以设置有连接凹槽93,第二个第一流道91的第一端可以通过该连接凹槽93与缓冲腔18直接连通,这样使得后端面10f无需设置第一导气通道101。
需要说明的是,第一流道91的数量可以为M个,其中,M为大于2的正整数,第四导气通道104的数量为M-1个,任意相邻的两个第一流道91之间通过一个第四导气通道104连通。
实施例11
请参见图39和图40,与实施例10中的墨盒100的结构基本相同,不同点在于,分隔部152面向变形件4的表面内凹形成有第一缓冲槽151。
具体地,分隔部152面向变形件4的表面具有与第一缓冲槽151连通的第一开口(图中未示出),其中,第一开口与储墨腔14连通,即第一开口与变形件4之间形成有间隙,第一开口通过该间隙与储墨腔14连通,且第一缓冲槽151还与连接流道9连通。
墨盒100还包括过滤件8b,过滤件8b设置于第一开口处。过滤件8b可以为由透气透水材料或透气非透水材料所制成的过滤膜或者由金属材料所制成的过滤网。优选地,过滤件8b可以为由透气非透水材料所制成的过滤膜。
具体地,由于第一开口与储墨腔14连通,储墨腔14内的墨水将会附着至过滤件8b的缝隙内,这样可以防止墨水流入第一缓冲槽151或减小流入第一缓冲槽151内的墨水量,同时还可以防止储墨腔14内的空气流入第一缓冲槽151内并自进气口19排出,有利于储墨腔14内维持一定的负压以吸收外界空气。
盒体1的外侧壁设置有第二导气通道102和第四导气通道104,第一缓冲槽151与连接流道9通过第二导气通道102间接连通,相邻的两个第一流道91之间通过第四导气通道104间接连通。
后端面10f贯穿设置有四个导气孔154,其中,第一个导气孔154与第一缓冲槽151连通,第二个导气孔154与第二个第一流道91的第一端连通,第三个导气孔154与第二个第一流道91的第二端连通,第四个导气孔154与第一个第一流道91的第一端连通。
具体地,后端面10f还内凹形成有第二导气通道102和第四导气通道104,第二导气通道102的一端与第一个导气孔154连通,第二导气通道102的另一端与第二个导气孔154连通,第四导气通道104的一端与第三个导气孔154连通,第四导气通道104的另一端与第四个导气孔154连通。墨盒100还包括密封件8a,该密封件8a设置于后端面10f以封闭第二导气通道102和第四导气通道104,以避免墨水可能自第二导气通道102或第四导气通道104流出而发生泄漏。
分隔部152设置有一个连接凹槽93,该连接凹槽93设置于分隔部152靠近上端面10a的顶端,第一个第一流道91的第二端通过该连接凹槽93与缓冲腔18连通。
随着储墨腔14内的墨水不断地被消耗,储墨腔14内形成一定的负压,外界空气经进气口19吸入缓冲腔18,然而再依次流经连接凹槽93、第一个第一流道91、第四个导气孔154、第四导气通道104、第三个导气孔154、第二个第一流道91、第二个导气孔154、第二导气通道102、第一个导气孔154、第一缓冲槽151和第一开口而进入储墨腔14内。
可以理解的是,第一个第一流道91的第一端也可以采用如实施例6中所述的通过第一导气通道101与缓冲腔18连通,在此不再赘述。
另外,墨盒100还包括容置于缓冲腔18内的吸附件8c,吸附件8c的作用及材料与前述实施例6中的相同,在此不再赘述。此外,在外界空气自进气口19进入储墨腔14内的过程中,由于盒体1外的气压大于储墨腔14内的气压,进气过程中会对过滤件8b产生瞬时冲击力,通过设置吸附件8c可以对进入储墨腔14中的气流进行缓冲,避免过滤件8b脱落或破损。
可以理解的是,缓冲腔18内既可以设置有吸附件8c,也可以不设置吸附件 8c。
实施例12
请参见图41和图42,与实施例10中的墨盒100的结构基本相同,不同点在于,缓冲腔18面向变形件4的内壁凸出延伸形成有延伸部155,延伸部155内贯通设置有第二缓冲槽156。
具体地,延伸部155面向变形件4的表面具有与第二缓冲槽156连通的第二开口,其中,第二开口与缓冲腔18连通,即第二开口与变形件4之间形成有间隙,第二开口通过该间隙与缓冲腔18连通,且第二缓冲槽156与连接流道9连通。
墨盒100还包括过滤件8b,过滤件8b设置于第二开口处。过滤件8b可以为由透气透水材料或透气非透水材料所制成的过滤膜或者由金属材料所制成的过滤网。优选地,过滤件8b可以为由透气非透水材料所制成的过滤膜。
具体地,由于第二开口与缓冲腔18连通,储墨腔14内的少部分墨水流入第二缓冲槽156内,墨水将会附着至过滤件8b的缝隙内,这样可以防止墨水流入缓冲腔18或减小流入缓冲腔18内的墨水量,同时还可以防止储墨腔14内的空气流入第二缓冲槽156内并自进气口19排出,有利于储墨腔14内维持一定的负压以吸收外界空气。
盒体1的外侧壁设置有第三导气通道103和第四导气通道104,第二缓冲槽156与连接流道9通过第三导气通道103间接连通,相邻的两个第一流道91之间通过第四导气通道104间接连通。
后端面10f贯穿设置有四个导气孔154,其中,第一个导气孔154与第二缓冲槽156连通,第二个导气孔154与第二个第一流道91的第一端连通,第三个导气孔154与第一个第一流道91的第二端连通,第四个导气孔154与第一个第一流道91的第一端连通。
具体地,后端面10f还内凹形成有第三导气通道103和第四导气通道104,第三导气通道103的一端与第一个导气孔154连通,第三导气通道103的另一端与第二个导气孔154连通,第四导气通道104的一端与第三个导气孔154连通,第四导气通道104的另一端与第四个导气孔154连通。墨盒100还包括密封件8a,该密封件8a设置于后端面10f以封闭第三导气通道103和第四导气通道104,以 避免墨水可能自第三导气通道103或第四导气通道104流出而发生泄漏。
分隔部152设置有一个连接凹槽93,该连接凹槽93设置于分隔部152靠近下端面10b的底端,第一个第一流道91的第二端通过该连接凹槽93与储墨腔14连通。
随着储墨腔14内的墨水不断地被消耗,储墨腔14内形成一定的负压,外界空气经进气口19吸入缓冲腔18,然而再依次流经第二开口、第二缓冲槽156、第一个导气孔154、第三导气通道103、第二个导气孔154、第二个第一流道91、第三个导气孔154、第四导气通道104、第四个导气孔154、第一个第一流道91和连接凹槽93而进入储墨腔14内。
另外,墨盒100还包括容置于缓冲腔18内的吸附件8c,吸附件8c的作用及材料与前述实施例6中的相同,在此不再赘述。此外,在外界空气自进气口19进入储墨腔14内的过程中,由于盒体1外的气压大于储墨腔14内的气压,进气过程中会对过滤件8b产生瞬时冲击力,通过设置吸附件8c可以对进入储墨腔14中的气流进行缓冲,避免过滤件8b脱落或破损。
可以理解的是,缓冲腔18内既可以设置有吸附件8c,也可以不设置吸附件8c。
实施例13
请参见图43和图44,与实施例10中的墨盒100的结构基本相同,不同点在于,分隔部152面向变形件4的表面内凹形成有第一缓冲槽151,且缓冲腔18面向变形件4的内壁凸出延伸形成有延伸部155,延伸部155内贯通设置有第二缓冲槽156。
第一缓冲槽151连接于连接流道9与储墨腔14之间,第二缓冲槽156连接于连接流道9与缓冲腔18之间。第一缓冲槽151的具体结构及与连接流道9和储墨腔14的连通方式与前述实施例11中的相同,第二缓冲槽156的具体结构及与连接流道9和缓冲腔18的连通方式与前述实施例12中的相同,在此不再赘述。
另外,墨盒100还包括容置于缓冲腔18内的吸附件8c,吸附件8c的作用及材料与前述实施例6中的相同,在此不再赘述。此外,在外界空气自进气口19进入储墨腔14内的过程中,由于盒体1外的气压大于储墨腔14内的气压,进气过程中会对过滤件8b产生瞬时冲击力,通过设置吸附件8c可以对进入储墨腔14 中的气流进行缓冲,避免过滤件8b脱落或破损。
可以理解的是,缓冲腔18内既可以设置有吸附件8c,也可以不设置吸附件8c。
与现有技术相比,在本发明所提供的一种墨盒100中,当该墨盒100被装入成像设备并进入打印状态后,随着储墨腔14内的墨水不断地被消耗,储墨腔14内形成一定的负压,外界空气可依次经进气口19和缓冲腔18而进入储墨腔14内以消除负压,改善了墨盒100的气压平衡性能,有利于墨水顺利地自出墨口11流出,通过设置缓冲腔18,避免了进气口19与储墨腔14直接连通,防止了墨水可能自进气口19泄露,提升了墨盒100的密封性能。此外,外界空气也可以自充气口12进入第一腔体内,或者通过成像设备自充气口12以向第一腔体内充气,使得储墨腔14内的墨水可以源源不断地挤出,提升了墨盒100的供墨效率。
以上所述仅为本申请的优选实施例而已,并不用于限制本申请,对于本领域的技术人员来说,本申请可以有各种更改和变化。凡在本申请的精神和原则之内,所作的任何修改、等同替换、改进等,均应包含在本申请的保护范围之内。
