Ink supplying container suitable for continuous ink-supplying system

Abstract

The intention relates to an ink supply vessel connected with the fill-up ink box of the printer, which is applicable to a continuous ink supply system. The ink supply vessel comprises the ink tank with a low ink level area in the main body used for the storage of ink; a board piece arranged in the ink tank and connected with the side of the main body, which formed a vertical displacement area with the main body; a floating device with a conductive layer, which increases and decreases in the vertical displacement area with the ink level; a plurality of contact bodies in the low ink level adjacent respectively with the main body in the vertical displacement area and the board piece. The contact bodies have a height degree of difference among themselves. When the ink drops to a low ink level area, the floating device will decrease comparatively in the vertical displacement area and send a signal to the printer to inform that the ink has been used up when the conducting layer contacts the contact bodies step by step.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an ink supply container suitable for a continuous ink supply system, especially an ink supply container suitable for a continuous ink supply system capable of detecting the ink level. Background technique [0002] In general, inkjet printers are popular among consumers due to their advantages of easy operation and the ability to print on a variety of inkjet media. However, after an inkjet printer has been used for a period of time, it will need to be replaced due to the exhaustion of ink in the ink cartridge. Ink cartridges, the current common replacement method is to discard the old ink cartridges and then install a new ink cartridge to provide ink. This not only causes waste of the ink cartridge body, but also increases the user’s labor cost due to the high price of the ink cartridge. overhead. In order to save printing costs and avoid waste of resources, a continuous ink supply system that reuses the same ink cartridge came...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0007] The main purpose of the present invention is to provide an ink supply container suitable for a continuous ink supply system, which forms a vertical displacement area between the plate and the body, so that the floating body element in the vertical displacement area will be relatively lowered with the height of the ink, When the amount of ink in the ink tank of the main body drops to the low water level area, the floating body element will fall relatively in the vertical displacement area and when the conductive layer is in contact with multiple contact bodies in sequence, a signal will be generated and sent to the printer for further Notify that the ink has been used up, so as to solve the problem of existing technology due to space placement, consumers cannot clearly observe the ink consumption at any time, and a certain weight of ink must be consumed when refilling ink, which is very easy to supply ink Bubbles in the tube cause the ink cartridge to fail to supply ink smoothly, etc.
