AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

If the dripping of the ink is blocked and the ink accumulates in the passage formed by the plate-shaped body, the ink solidifies, and there is a possibility of clogging and leaking
As a result, not only the collection of ink to the waste liquid tank is hindered, but also there is a problem that the collected ink is scattered to the outside from the exhaust fan.

Abstract

The invention relates to an ink jet printer, an ink recovery member and an ink recovery method, wherein the ink is recovered without the occurrence of blocking the air flow path of the ink jet printer. The ink jet printer (20) comprises a flushing tank (10) for ink recovery, wherein the flushing tank is of a hollow structure and comprises a netted mesh (2) for ink liquefaction; an opening part (1) at the downstream side of the gravity direction of the netted mesh (2) and used for receiving ink ejected out of an ink jet nozzle (32); an ink reservoir (3) communicated to the downstream side of the gravity direction of the opening part (1) and used for receiving ink flowing into the ink jet printer through the opening part (1); and an air exhaust fan (4) used for generating an air flow flowing from the outside in along the gravity direction.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an inkjet printer, an ink recovery member, and an ink recovery method. Background technique [0002] In an inkjet type printer (inkjet printer), printing is performed by ejecting ink onto a printing medium from nozzle openings provided in an inkjet head. Therefore, for example, in a nozzle that has not ejected ink for a long time, the nozzle opening is clogged by dried and solidified ink, dust, dust, etc., and ink cannot be ejected normally from the nozzle opening. [0003] In order to solve such problems, the inkjet printer described in Patent Document 1 is configured in such a manner that the inkjet head is moved to a position separated from the printing medium, and ink not related to printing is ejected from the nozzle opening at this position ( flushing), thereby preventing clogging of the nozzle openings. The inkjet printer of Patent Document 1 is equipped with a flushing tank for storing ink ejected from the ink...
