Ink supply system

Abstract

The invention discloses an ink supply system, and relates to the field of printers. The ink supply system comprises a printing head, a mixing tank, a solvent box, an ink box, an ink supply assembly and a pipeline assembly. The ink supply assembly comprises a manifold plate and a manifold gasket, wherein the manifold plate is fixed to the mixing tank and used for fixing the pipeline assembly, a plurality of guide grooves are formed in the manifold plate, and at least one guide hole is formed in each guide groove; the manifold gasket is fixed to the manifold plate, a plurality of sealing gaskets matched with the guide grooves are arranged on the manifold gasket, the sealing gaskets are accommodated in the guide grooves, a channel is formed in each sealing gasket, the channels are matched with the corresponding guide holes, and an ink path which is used for connecting the printing head, the mixing tank, the solvent box and the ink box and matched with the pipeline assembly is formed between the manifold plate and the manifold gasket. The ink supply system can prevent ink leakage, circuit construction failure is avoided, and pressure noise can be suppressed.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of printers, in particular to an ink supply system. Background technique [0002] Continuous inkjet printers form images by pushing ink droplets against a substrate. Continuous inkjet printers form images by producing droplets from multiple nozzles when needed, while continuous inkjet printers deflect charged droplets from a single nozzle to multiple locations electrostatically. [0003] Continuous inkjet printers typically consist of a main structure that includes two compartments, one housing the ink supply and the other housing the electronics, and is connected to the main structure by conduits containing a number of pipes and wires of the print head. [0004] The ink supply system pumps the ink under pressure to the print head, and then into the spray chamber containing the nozzles, through which the ink is formed into continuous jets. Generally, during the printing process, a large amount of inkjet will be col...

Problems solved by technology

However, this design has a number of disadvantages: first, the flexible seal is difficult to position between the two plates, and while this problem can be overcome during manufacturing, the difficulty of repositioning the seal makes the design virtually impossible for repair or Repair; secondly, the lack of piping made the ink supply rigid, which required the use of a large, complex pressure damper
