Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of inkjet printers, and particularly to an ink bottle pulling structure of an inkjet printer. Background Art

[0002] Inkjet printers are common office equipment, which provides great convenience for modern office work. Inkjet printers use ink cartridges containing ink as consumable containers, and spray ink onto paper to form the text or patterns to be printed. Inkjet printers turn colored liquid ink into fine particles through nozzles and spray them onto the printing paper. Some inkjet printers have three or four printing nozzles for printing four colors: yellow, magenta, cyan, and black; some share one nozzle and spray the four colors separately. When an inkjet printer prints an image, a series of complicated procedures are required. When the printer head quickly sweeps across the printing paper, countless nozzles on it will spray countless small ink droplets, thus forming the pixels in the image. Generally, there are 48 or more independent nozzles on the printer head that spray various colors of ink. For example, the 48 nozzles of Epson Stylus photo 1270 can spray 5 different colors: blue-green, red-violet, yellow, light blue-green, and light red-violet, and there are also 48 nozzles for spraying black ink. Generally speaking, the more nozzles, the faster the printing speed. Ink droplets of different colors fall on the same point to form different composite colors. It can be observed under a microscope that the place where yellow and blue-violet inks are sprayed simultaneously shows green. Therefore, we can think that the basic colors are formed in the inkjet coating layer. By observing the working mode of a simple four-color inkjet, we can easily understand the working principle of the printer: there are 0 to 4 ink droplets covering each pixel. Different combinations can produce more than 10 different colors. Some printers can also produce 16 different colors through color combinations, such as the combination of "blue-green and black" or "red-violet, yellow, and black".

[0003] The utility model patent with the application number CN202223510981.3 discloses an ink bottle fixing device for an inkjet printer, including: a fixing base having a receiving chamber with an opening at least on the side; an ink bottle bracket rotatably connected to the fixing base in a manner that can rotate around a horizontally extending axis, and having a received state received in the receiving chamber of the fixing base and an open state moved out of the receiving chamber; a horizontally extending limiting pin is provided on the side wall of the ink bottle bracket, and the fixing base is provided with a limiting chute at a position corresponding to the limiting pin for sliding and limiting the limiting pin during the rotation of the ink bottle bracket. When the ink bottle bracket is in the open state, the limiting pin moves to the end position of the limiting chute, and a first limiting recess with a certain height difference from the main part of the side wall of the limiting chute is constructed on the side wall at the end position of the limiting chute. The advantages are: simplifying the assembly process of the ink bottle fixing device and effectively reducing the production cost.

[0004] However, the ink bottle fixing device for an inkjet printer in the above patent application still has certain deficiencies. This solution uses a rotating method, so sufficient space needs to be reserved on both the upper and lower sides of the ink bottle for the ink bottle assembly structure to rotate, wasting a large amount of internal space. At the same time, this solution involves more components and special structural parts, making the assembly process relatively cumbersome and increasing the processing and production costs. Summary of the Invention

[0021] 2. In the ink bottle pulling-out structure of an inkjet printer according to the present invention, a stop block is provided on the opening side of the limiting groove close to the accommodating chamber.

At the same time, the stop block adopts an electromagnet, and the limiting block is made of iron and is connected to the internal circuit. When replacing the ink bottle, the stop block is electrified and adsorbs to the limiting block to fix the ink bottle assembly. When the replacement is completed, the stop block is powered off, the limiting block is released, and the ink bottle assembly slides inward under the pulling force of the tension spring. The tension spring can assist in pulling the ink bottle assembly to the designated position inside the printer.

[0022] 3. In the ink bottle pulling-out structure of an inkjet printer according to the present invention, a stop block is provided on the opening side of the limiting groove close to the accommodating chamber, and a groove is provided above the stop block. The stop block can slide along the side wall into the groove. When the ink bottle assembly is damaged and needs to be replaced, manually slide the stop block into the groove, and then the ink bottle assembly can be taken out of the printer body. Then disconnect the tension spring from the inner wall of the accommodating chamber to achieve the disassembly of the ink bottle assembly. The installation is the opposite, and the replacement process is simple and convenient.

[0023] 4. In the case where the ink bottle base of the ink bottle pulling-out structure of an inkjet printer according to the present invention is not suitable for being pulled out and replaced, a solution of rotating the side plate to open the hollow cavity can be adopted. Without opening the printer upper cover, the side plate of the hollow cavity rotates and opens with the bottom as the axis, and the maximum rotation angle is 90°, exposing the internal ink bottle. There is no need to leave space for rotation on the upper and lower sides of the ink bottle assembly, thereby reducing the waste of internal space and increasing the space utilization rate.

[0077] The design principle of the present invention lies in that a limiting structure is provided in the accommodation chamber 21 of the printer body 2.

[0078] The ink bottle assembly 1 includes an ink bottle base 11 and an ink bottle 12; the ink bottle base 11 includes a base body 111, a first slide rail 113, a limiting block 114 and a side plate 117, and the side plate 117 is arranged on the side of the base body 111 away from the printer body 2; the side plate 117 is rotatably connected to the base body 111 with the bottom of the side plate 117 as the axis. After the side plate 117 is opened, the ink bottle 12 can be taken out from one side of the side plate 117, and the maximum rotation angle of the side plate 117 is 90°.

[0079] This solution adopts the scheme of rotating the side plate 117 to open the hollow cavity. Without opening the upper cover of the printer, the side plate 117 of the hollow cavity rotates and opens with the bottom as the axis, exposing the internal ink bottle 12. There is no need to leave space for rotation on the upper and lower sides of the ink bottle assembly, thereby reducing the waste of internal space and increasing the space utilization rate.

[0080] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, for those of ordinary skill in the art, it can be understood that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principle and spirit of the present invention. The scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
