Example

[0050] (First embodiment)

[0051] Such as figure 1 As shown, the printer 11 as an example of the recording device has a substantially rectangular parallelepiped printer body 12 as the device body. The printer body 12 is composed of an upper housing 12A located on the opposite side of the gravity direction (+Z direction) in the vertical direction. The lower housing 12B located on the side of the gravity direction (-Z direction) and a cover housing 12C described later are constituted by a plurality of housings. In addition, the housings 12A, 12B, and 12C are connected and fixed to each other by screws 13 or the like. In addition, the printer 11 includes a liquid ejecting head 16 in the printer main body 12, a discharge portion 20 that ejects the printing paper P, a liquid containing portion 30 that can contain ink supplied to the liquid ejecting head 16, and a liquid containing portion 30 that can contain the ink supplied to the liquid ejecting head 16. The supply cassette 40 of ...

Example

[0112] (Second embodiment)

[0113] The printer 11 of the second embodiment has a structure in which, in the first embodiment described above, the liquid recovery part 60 (liquid storage part 30) is provided below the supply box 40 instead of being provided at the discharge part 20 and the supply box 40 between. With reference to the drawings, the printer 11 of the second embodiment will be described. In addition, in the drawings referred to here, the same components as those of the first embodiment described above are assigned the same reference numerals, and the description thereof is omitted.

[0114] Such as Picture 10 As shown, in the printer 11 of the second embodiment, the supply box 40 is arranged above the lower side casing 12B of the printer main body 12, and the liquid storage section 30 and the liquid recovery section 60 overlap the supply box 40 in the vertical direction. It is arranged below the supply cassette 40 (-Z direction). Therefore, the accommodating porti...

[0119] (Third Embodiment)

[0120] The printer 11 of the third embodiment has a structure in which the liquid recovery unit 60 is provided in the supply cassette 40 in the above-mentioned first embodiment. An example of this third embodiment will be described with reference to the drawings. In addition, in the drawings referred to here, the same components as those of the first embodiment described above are assigned the same reference numerals, and the description thereof is omitted.

[0121] Such as Picture 12 As shown, in the printer 11 of the third embodiment, the supply cassette 40 is equipped to be able to be inserted and removed from the lower housing 12B located on the side of the gravity direction (-Z direction) in the vertical direction, and to recover the liquid The liquid recovery part 60 (housing 61) of the ink discharged from the ejection head 16 is provided in the supply cassette 40.

[0122] In this embodiment, the liquid recovery unit 60 is provided in the supply ...

Abstract

Provided is a recording device which, while avoiding increases in the installation surface area, allows easy filling of a liquid storage unit with recording fluid. A printer main body (12) is provided with a liquid jetting head (16) which records by jetting ink against a paper (P), a discharge unit (20) in which a discharge port (25) is formed that includes a discharge region from which the paper is discharged on which recording was performed by the liquid jetting head, and a liquid housing unit (30) which can store the ink supplied to the liquid jetting head. The liquid storage unit is provided with an injection port which is disposed in a position below the discharge unit in the vertical direction (-Z direction) and overlapping the discharge unit in the vertical direction and which allows injection of ink into said liquid storage unit.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a recording apparatus that performs recording by ejecting a liquid to an object. Background technique [0002] Conventionally, an inkjet printer is known as one type of recording device, which performs recording (printing) by ejecting ink, which is an example of liquid, from a liquid ejection head onto a target such as printing paper. Furthermore, in such a printer, when performing a relatively large amount of printing, it is required to continuously and stably supply ink to the liquid ejection head. Therefore, a configuration has been proposed in which ink is supplied from an ink cartridge (liquid storage unit) having a relatively large ink storage capacity to a liquid jet head through a liquid supply tube (for example, refer to Patent Document 1). In addition, in such a printer, in order to eject ink stably from the liquid ejection head, maintenance such as cleaning to eject ink from the liquid ejection head by sucti...
