Embodiment Construction

[0045] by reference Figure 1-17B To understand embodiments of the invention and its features and advantages, like reference numerals are used for corresponding parts in the various figures.

[0046] [Printer 10]

[0047] refer to figure 1 A liquid consuming apparatus such as the printer 10 is an inkjet printer configured to record an image on a sheet of recording paper by selectively ejecting ink droplets onto the sheet. The printer 10 includes a liquid consuming portion such as a recording head 21 , an ink supply device 100 , and an ink tube 20 connecting the recording head 21 and the ink supply device 100 . The ink supply device 100 includes a cartridge mounting portion 110 . The cartridge mounting portion 110 is configured to allow a liquid container or a liquid cartridge such as the ink cartridge 30 to be mounted therein. The cartridge installation part 110 has an opening 112 through which the inside of the cartridge installation part 110 is exposed to the outside of ...

Abstract

A liquid consuming apparatus includes a liquid cartridge, a detector, and a controller. The liquid cartridge includes a first liquid chamber and a second liquid chamber. The detector is configured to output a detection signal based on an amount of liquid which has flowed from the first liquid chamber to the second liquid chamber. The controller is configured to measure, based on the detection signal output from the detector, a physical quantity, based on which a flow rate of liquid flowing from the first liquid chamber to the second liquid chamber can be specified, and is configured to determine whether the physical quantity is within a threshold range.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a liquid consuming device. Background technique [0002] A known inkjet recording apparatus is configured to record an image on a recording medium by ejecting ink stored in an ink tank from nozzles. The viscosity of ink stored in an ink tank may change over time. A known inkjet recording apparatus as described in Patent Application Publication No. JP-09-277560A is configured to estimate the viscosity of ink stored in an ink tank, and the inkjet recording apparatus performs optimized preliminary ejection based on the estimated result. More specifically, the inkjet recording apparatus is configured to estimate the viscosity of the ink based on the time elapsed since the ink container was mounted to the inkjet recording apparatus and the amount of ink remaining in the ink container. However, this known inkjet recording apparatus does not estimate viscosity by directly measuring a physical quantity obtained when ink moves...
