[0046] refer to figure 1 , figure 1The appearance of the inkjet printer 10 (hereinafter, referred to as the printer 10 ) of the present invention is shown. The printer 10 includes a printer main body 12 and a scanner unit 14 rotatably attached to an upper portion of the printer main body. The printer device main body 12 has a discharge port 18 on its front surface 16 through which a recording medium is discharged. The discharge port 18 is configured to include a paper discharge area for discharging paper as a recording medium, and a space other than the paper discharge area. In addition, the paper discharge area refers to an area through which the paper is discharged when the paper is discharged, and the space other than the paper discharge area refers to an area through which the paper does not pass when the paper is discharged regardless of the size of the paper. Since the paper discharge port is usually formed larger than the size of the paper, the paper discharge port a...

[0065] refer to Figure 4 , Figure 4 A printer 74 of the second embodiment is shown. It is different from the first embodiment in that the partition member 30 is not used and the ink tube 36 is fixed along the side wall 76 constituting the left side of the discharge port 18 .

[0066] The ink tube 36 extending from the extension protrusion 58 of the head unit 34, after being guided by the guide portion 66 and extending along the above-mentioned main scanning direction, will face instead the front surface 16 side of the printer 10, and is adhered to the front surface 16 side of the printer 10 by an adhesive. The left side wall 76 is thus arranged along the left side wall 76 . And, after the ink tube 36 extends forward from the discharge port 18 along the left side wall 76, it bends and changes its direction to the left, thereby extending along the front surface 16 of the housing 38, and is adhered by an adhesive. fit the front surface. Then, the ink tubes 36 extend to the ...

[0069] refer to Figure 5 , Figure 5 A printer 80 of the third embodiment is shown. The first embodiment differs from the first embodiment in that a pipe arrangement region 86 is formed between the partition member 82 extending in the vertical direction and the left side wall 84 constituting the discharge port 18 .

[0070] Inside the discharge port 18, there is provided a plate-shaped partition member 82 extending in the direction along the vertical plane, that is, in the above-mentioned vertical direction. The partition member 82 is opposed to the left side wall 84 constituting the discharge port 18 , and a pipe arrangement area 86 is formed between the partition member 82 and the left side wall 84 .

[0071] In addition, the distance between the partition member 82 and the right side wall 88 facing the partition member 82 is set to be wider than the width of the recording medium. In addition, the corner portion of the rear end 90 of the partition member 82 on the side o...

Abstract

An inkjet recording apparatus includes a head unit provided with a recording head ejecting an ink and capable of moving in a predetermined moving direction, a discharge port including a region where the recording medium on which a recording is performed by the recording head is discharged and an ink tube having flexibility, that is connected to the head unit and leads the ink sent from an ink containing unit in which the ink is contained, to the recording head. The ink tube protrudes to the outside of the apparatus from the front surface of the apparatus, in a case where the surface on which the discharge port is provided is a front surface of the apparatus.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an inkjet type recording device represented by a facsimile machine and a printer, and more particularly relates to a head unit having a recording head capable of moving in a predetermined moving direction, an ink containing portion independent of the head unit, and a method for forming the head unit An inkjet recording device of the ink tube of the ink flow path between the ink container and the ink container. Background technique [0002] In recording devices such as facsimile machines and printers, especially inkjet recording devices, there is a head unit (sometimes also called a carriage) that has a recording head that discharges ink and can move in a predetermined moving direction. This is a so-called serial inkjet recording device. [0003] Here, among the head units, some head units are equipped with an ink container for storing ink (hereinafter, appropriately referred to as "ink cartridge"), and some head units ...
