Problems solved by technology

[0003] However, since the density of the waste liquid absorbing materials stacked and arranged in the above-mentioned waste ink tank is substantially uniform, there is a problem that, when the permeability of the waste liquid is relatively good with respect to the waste liquid absorbing material, the The retention of the absorbed waste liquid is lowered. On the other hand, when the retention of the absorbed waste liquid is relatively good relative to the waste liquid absorbent, the permeability of the absorbed waste liquid is reduced.

Embodiment approach

[0026] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. In addition, in each of the following drawings, each member and the like are sized to be recognizable, and therefore the dimensions of each member and the like shown differ from actual ones.

[0027] First, the structure of the waste ink absorber will be described. figure 1 is a schematic diagram showing the structure of a waste ink absorber, figure 1 (a) shows the structure of a piece of waste ink absorber. The waste ink absorber 200 absorbs waste ink discharged from a head that ejects ink. Such as figure 1 As shown in (a), when the cuboid-shaped waste ink absorber 200 is observed in side cross section (observed from the direction of the arrow mark in the figure), the waste ink absorber 200 has a part 220 with a sparse density and a part with a sparse density. 220 is denser than the denser portion 210 , and the sparser portion (layer) 220 and the denser portion (laye...

Embodiment 1

[0059] Example 1: Formation of waste ink absorber A

[0060] The mixture C1 and the mixture C2 are alternately stacked on the mesh belt, wherein the mixture C1 is obtained by mixing 100 parts by weight of cellulose fibers, 15 parts by weight of molten fibers and 10 parts by weight of a flame retardant in air. The obtained mixture, the mixture C2, is a mixture obtained by mixing 100 parts by weight of cellulose fibers, 25 parts by weight of molten fibers, and 10 parts by weight of a flame retardant in air. At this time, while moving the mesh belt, the mixtures C1 and C2 are alternately and continuously deposited. Alternatively, accumulation may be performed while suction is performed using an air suction device. In Example 1, the mixture C1 and the mixture C2 were stacked alternately 6 times each. Then, the deposited deposits were subjected to heat treatment under pressure at 200°C. After that, it was cut into 150 mm×50 mm×12 mm to form a waste ink absorber A. In this waste...

[0061] Example 2: Formation of waste ink absorber B

[0062] The mixture C1 and the mixture C3 are alternately stacked on the mesh belt, wherein the mixture C1 is obtained by mixing 100 parts by weight of cellulose fibers, 15 parts by weight of molten fibers and 10 parts by weight of a flame retardant in air. The obtained mixture, the mixture C3, is a mixture obtained by mixing 100 parts by weight of cellulose fibers, 15 parts by weight of molten fibers, and 20 parts by weight of a flame retardant in air. At this time, while moving the mesh belt, the mixtures C1 and C3 were piled up alternately and continuously so that the mixtures C1 and C3 were obliquely laminated. Alternatively, accumulation may be performed while suction is performed using an air suction device. In Example 2, the mixture C1 and the mixture C3 were alternately stacked 6 times each. Then, the deposited deposits were subjected to heat treatment under pressure at 200°C. After that, it was cut into 150 mm x ...

Abstract

The present invention provides a waste ink absorber, a waste ink tank, and a droplet ejection device excellent in permeability and retention. The waste ink absorber absorbs the waste ink discharged from the ink ejection head, and in the side sectional view of the waste ink absorber, a portion having a sparse density and a portion having a higher density than the portion having a sparse density are shown in the waste ink absorber. Dense sections are alternately laminated diagonally.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a waste ink absorber, a waste ink tank, and a droplet ejection device. Background technique [0002] Conventionally, as a waste ink tank for recovering discharged ink, a structure in which a plurality of ink absorbing materials are stacked inside a tank body is known (for example, refer to Patent Document 1). [0003] However, since the density of the waste liquid absorbing materials stacked and arranged in the above-mentioned waste ink tank is substantially uniform, there is a problem that, when the permeability of the waste liquid is relatively good with respect to the waste liquid absorbing material, the The retention of the absorbed waste liquid decreases. On the other hand, when the retention of the absorbed waste liquid is relatively good relative to the waste liquid absorbent, the permeability of the absorbed waste liquid decreases.
