Continuous supply device of ink supply system

Abstract

The invention discloses a continuous supply device of an ink supply system. The continuous supply device of the ink supply system comprises a top cover; a suspension device is arranged under the top cover, and is configured to suspend an ink bag in an up-down manner; the top cover and a suspension device fixed piece are integrally molded; the suspension device fixed piece is configured to connectwith the suspension device; an ink bag circulating port is formed under the ink bag; and ink in the ink bag is supplied to a printer system. Two stages of ink supply devices are provided, so that inkis easily changed and filled, the loss is low, and the waste of raw materials is reduced; and through integral design of the top cover and the suspension device fixed piece, the part arrangement is reduced, the production cost is further reduced, and higher economical benefit is achieved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of inkjet printing equipment, in particular to an ink supply system continuous supply device. Background technique [0002] In the prior art, the continuous ink supply system of printers is referred to as continuous supply, which is a new type of ink supply method that has appeared in the field of inkjet printers in recent years. The continuous ink supply system uses an external ink bottle to connect with the ink supply pipeline of the printer through a conduit, so that the ink in the ink bottle will continuously flow to the printer system, which is the so-called "continuous supply". The biggest advantage of the continuous ink supply system is its benefits. Because of its competitive price, the continuous ink supply system is very popular in printing companies, advertising companies, digital printing industries and other enterprises with a large monthly printing volume. In addition, continuous supply also h...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0006] 1. The reciprocating action of adding ink will bring tiny air bubbles into the ink, and the accumulation of these air bubbles and a small amount of air bubbles entering the print cartridge from the print head will gradually foam the ink, resulting in bubble failures in the printer;

[0007] 2. It is easy to add ink of different colors by mistake;

[0008] 3. When adding ink, it is easy to cause ink splash pollution. During the ink filling process, if the staff is slightly careless, it is easy to cause ink splashing, dumping, and overflowing, resulting in pollution of the surrounding environment;

[0009] 4. In the process of adding ink in a non-vacuum environment, microorganisms are easy to breed, making the ink easy to rot and deteriorate, resulting in shortened shelf life of the ink, and even causing plugging and color casts;

[0010] 5. There is no prompt alarm system when the ink is used up, and it is very inconvenient to rely on people to watch it at any time

[0012] 1. The thermal transfer ink contains moisture, and the ink will be soaked with the metal for a long time, which will cause the pin to rust;

[0013] 2. Ordinary soft bags pack ink to prevent ink overflow. A silicone plug will be added to the nozzle of the ink bag. When a metal needle is inserted into the nozzle of the ink bag, the silicone plug needs to be pierced. A small amount of silicone shavings will be mixed into the ink, and there will be Clogged or not smooth phenomenon;

[0014] 3. When replacing the ink bag, the sharp metal pins are easy to pierce the ink bag, so that the ink flows everywhere

The defect of this continuous supply system is that it applies the principle of air pressure, that is to say, it provides a non-vacuum ink supply environment, which will bring many problems caused by the non-vacuum environment ink supply we mentioned earlier. question

[0018] The sensors that monitor the change of the liquid level are all immersed in the ink to work. In this way, another hidden danger caused by the long-term immersion of the components appears. Various anions and cations in the ink will corrode the components to varying degrees, and The colorant in the ink is also very easy to deposit on the component. The deposited colorant will grow a deposition layer on the component. These deposits will fall off into the ink and easily block the nozzle; moreover, the sensitivity of the sensor with the deposition layer is low. will be greatly reduced, which will affect the alarm effect and bring inconvenience to practical application

[0019] At present, in addition to daily small-scale commercial printers, there are also printers for large-format printing and dyeing. Such printers for large-format printing and dyeing use a large amount of ink and frequently replace ink, and printers generally used for large-format printing and dyeing are bulky. The ink cartridge is placed vertically on the top of the printer. When replacing the ink cartridge, it is often necessary to operate on the top of the printer. It is necessary to keep the vertical direction aligned with the insertion port to insert a new ink bag. The operation position is high, and the operation is time-consuming and laborious.

[0020] In addition, in the existing continuous ink supply device, when it is necessary to replace the liquid in the ink bag, only the entire ink bag can be replaced. At the same time, when the ink bag is in use, the ink in the ink bag often remains. On the one hand, it causes waste of materials; on the other hand, it is quite troublesome to deal with the remaining ink. If it is not handled well, it will cause environmental pollution and cause a lot of waste.
