Problems solved by technology

Since the cleaning solution cannot completely clean the original ink in the ink delivery tube, main ink tank and print head, when different types of ink are replaced, hard-to-clean deposits will inevitably occur in the ink delivery tube, main ink tank and print head; in addition, When the ink is filled, in order to ensure the ink concentration to ensure the printing quality, the ink diluted by the cleaning solution must also be discharged, resulting in a waste of ink; on the other hand, due to the long ink delivery tube, the cleaning and filling procedures take a long time to execute

[0026] Such as figure 1 As shown, the casing of the wide-line printer 001 is formed by assembling an upper casing 010 and a lower casing 020 . Four sub-ink cartridges 030 are loaded into the wide-line printer 001 from the front wall 002 of the casing. The paper table 011 protrudes from the front wall 002. The top wall 003 of the housing is provided with a main window 012 and a maintenance window 014 , wherein the main window 012 is covered by a main cover 013 , and the maintenance window 014 is covered by a maintenance cover 015 .

[0027] Such as figure 2 As shown, the rear wall 004 of the casing of the wide-line printer 001 is provided with an opening 016, and the opening 016 is covered by a baffle 017, and the baffle 017 is fixed on the rear wall 004 by a plurality of screws 018.

[0028] Such as image 3 As shown, the four ink delivery pipes 040 communicate with the four sub-ink tanks 030 and the four main ink tanks 050 corresponding to the colors respectively. The i...

[0031] Such as Figure 5 As shown, the difference between the second embodiment and the first embodiment lies in the clamping method of the ink delivery tube 040 . Fix the fixed section of the ink delivery tube 040 on the baffle 017 through the fixing bracket 270 and the shorter screw 271, and then use the longer screw 272 to fix the baffle 017 to the corresponding part of the housing 210 of the wide-line printer 201 on the screw hole. Preferably, the size of the opening 216 meets the loading and unloading requirements of the main ink tank 050, and the ink delivery tube 040 and the main ink tank 050 can be taken out from the opening 216 together.

Abstract

The invention relates to a wide-line printer and an ink supply system replacement method thereof. The wide-line printer comprises a shell, a carriage unit arranged in the shell, a printing head detachably arranged on the carriage unit, main ink boxes which are detachably arranged on the carriage unit and are communicated with the printing head, auxiliary ink boxes detachably arranged in the shell, ink conveying tubes which are detachably arranged in the shell and are communicated with the main ink boxes and the auxiliary ink boxes, an opening used for assembling and disassembling the ink conveying tube, and a baffle used for detachably covering the opening, wherein the opening is formed in the wall of the shell nearest a fixed section, and is positioned at a part corresponding to the fixed section, and each ink conveying tube comprises a swing section close to each main ink box and the fixed section close to each auxiliary ink box. When the ink supply system is replaced, the main ink boxes and the auxiliary ink boxes are replaced, the printing head is replaced or rinsed, the baffle is disassembled, and the ink conveying tubes are replaced through the opening, and then the baffle is assembled. The scheme not only is favorable for replacing the ink conveying tubes, but also can avoid the situation that different types of inks are mixed in the ink conveying tubes and the main ink boxes to generate a precipitate difficult to remove is avoided.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a wide-line printer with a main ink box, an auxiliary ink box, an ink delivery pipe and a printing head, and a method for replacing the ink supply system. Background technique [0002] Because it is difficult for a printer with a single set of ink cartridges to meet the growing printing demand, printers are usually equipped with two sets of ink cartridges, especially wide-line printers. Due to the large amount of ink ejected and the large printing area, the ink supply system includes a set of main ink cartridges and a set of ink cartridges. A set of auxiliary ink tanks, wherein the main ink tank and the print head assembled on the character carriage are fixedly connected through assembly, and the auxiliary ink tank and the main ink tank are connected through an ink delivery tube. In order to improve the reliability and convenience of the connection, the ink delivery pipe is usually connected to the ink cartridge through a plate...
