an ink supply system

Abstract

The invention discloses an ink supply system, relating to the field of printers, comprising: a print head, a mixing tank, a solvent box, an ink box, an ink supply assembly and a pipeline assembly; the ink supply assembly includes a manifold plate, which is fixed on the mixing tank , and used to fix pipeline components, the manifold plate is provided with multiple guide grooves, and each guide groove is provided with at least one guide hole; the manifold gasket is fixed on the manifold plate, and the manifold gasket is provided with There are multiple gaskets matching the multi-channel guide grooves, the gaskets are accommodated in the guide grooves, and each gasket is provided with a channel, and the channel is matched with the corresponding guide hole, so that the manifold plate and the manifold gasket An ink path that cooperates with the pipeline assembly that connects the print head, the mixing tank, the solvent box and the ink cartridge is formed between them. The ink supply system in the present invention can prevent ink leakage, avoid circuit construction failure, and suppress pressure noise.

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
