Embodiment Construction

[0026] Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

[0027] refer to Figure 1 to Figure 11 An inkjet recording device 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described. like figure 1 As shown, in the inkjet recording apparatus 100 , a paper feeding cassette 2 , which is a paper storage portion, is arranged below the inside of the apparatus main body 1 . Paper P, which is an example of a recording medium, is stored in the paper feeding cassette 2 . Downstream of paper feed direction for paper feeder 2, i.e. figure 1 Above the right side of the paper feeding cassette 2 in the middle, a paper feeding device 3 is arranged. Using the paper feeding device 3, the paper P is figure 1 Towards the upper right of the paper feeder 2, separate and send out one by one.

[0028] In addition, the inkjet recording apparatus 100 is provided with a first paper transport path 4a inside. The first paper feeding path 4...

Abstract

The invention provides a waste ink storage mechanism and an inkjet recording device including the same. The waste ink storage mechanism of the present disclosure includes a waste ink tank, a waste inktank fitting portion and an electrostatic capacitance sensor. The waste ink tank stores a waste ink exhausted from a recording head. The waste ink tank is fitted to the waste ink tank fitting portionsuch that the waste ink tank can be fitted into and removed from the waste ink tank fitting portion. The electrostatic capacitance sensor is provided in the waste ink tank fitting portion so as to detect that a liquid surface within the waste ink tank reaches a predetermined level. The waste ink tank includes: a first surface in which an inflow port through which the waste ink flows in is formed;and a second surface, the electrostatic capacitance sensor being arranged close to the second surface.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a waste ink storage mechanism having a waste ink tank for storing waste ink discharged from a recording head that discharges ink to a recording medium such as paper, and an inkjet recording apparatus equipped with the same. Background technique [0002] As recording devices such as facsimile machines, copiers, and printers, inkjet recording devices that eject ink to form images are widely used because they can form high-definition images. [0003] In such an inkjet recording device, the straightness of the ink may be deteriorated (flying) or ejection may not occur, thereby deteriorating the printing performance of the recording head. The cause is considered to be foreign matter such as paper powder or dust generated when paper (recording medium) is conveyed, tiny ink droplets ejected together with ink droplets for image recording (hereinafter referred to as mist), or ink The spray that bounces back when the droplet adh...
