DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0032] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below:

[0033] Embodiment 1

[0034] Reference Figures 2 to 9 Embodiment 1 of the present invention provides an ink cartridge, including an ink bottle 100, a nozzle 200 and an elastic sealing member 300. The ink bottle 100 has a bottle mouth 110 and a bottle shoulder 120. The bottle mouth 110 protrudes upward from the bottle shoulder 120. The bottle shoulder 120 is provided with a first welding portion 121. The lower end of the nozzle 200 is provided with a sleeve portion 210. The bottom of the sleeve portion 210 has a second welding portion 211. The sleeve portion 210 is sleeved on the outer periphery of the bottle mouth 110, and the first welding portion 121 and the second welding portion 211 are welded and fixed. The elastic sealing member 300 is sealed and connected to the bottle mouth 110 and the nozzle 200.

[0035] The ink cartridge has an elastic seal 300 sealed between the bottle mouth 110 and the nozzle 200. The elastic seal 300 can be deformed when subjected to pressure, so as to compensate for the unevenness of the bottle mouth 110, thereby meeting the airtightness requirement between the bottle mouth 110 and the nozzle 200, and avoiding ink leakage from the ink cartridge. The fastening requirement between the nozzle 200 and the ink bottle 100 is achieved by welding and fixing the first welding portion 121 of the shoulder 120 of the ink bottle 100 and the second welding portion 211 at the bottom of the nozzle 200. The flatness of the shoulder 120 of the ink bottle 100 is better than that of the bottle mouth 110, and it has sufficient welding area and supporting strength. The first welding portion 121 and the second welding portion 211 only need to be welded and fixed, and no airtightness requirement is required. Therefore, the welding difficulty is greatly reduced, thereby reducing the overall processing difficulty of the ink cartridge, improving the yield of the ink cartridge, and reducing the production cost of the ink cartridge. Therefore, the ink cartridge can better ensure the quality of the ink cartridge while reducing the processing difficulty. Further, referring to Figure 3 and Figure 8 The second welding portion 211 is a ring-shaped protrusion that is larger at the top and smaller at the bottom, so as to further reduce the difficulty of welding and improve the success rate of welding.

[0036] Further, refer to Figure 7 The elastic seal 300 is an elastic rubber plug. The elastic seal 300 includes a main body 310, a first sealing portion 320 and a second sealing portion 330. The first sealing portion 320 and the second sealing portion 330 are integrally formed at the upper end and the lower end of the main body 310, respectively. Figure 8 A first sleeve hole 212 is provided in the sleeve portion 210, and a second sleeve hole 220 communicating with the first sleeve hole 212 is provided on the upper portion of the nozzle 200. The aperture of the second sleeve hole 220 is smaller than that of the first sleeve hole 212, so that a portion of the step surface is retained on the top wall of the first sleeve hole 212. A through hole communicating with the second sleeve hole 220 is also provided on the upper portion of the nozzle 200 to facilitate ink addition. Figure 4 During installation, the second sealing portion 330 is sealed and inserted into the bottle mouth 110. The outer diameter of the second sealing portion 330 in a natural state is slightly larger than the inner diameter of the bottle mouth 110. When the second sealing portion 330 is inserted toward the bottle mouth 110, the second sealing portion 330 is compressed and contracted and can be inserted into the bottle mouth 110. Under the action of the deformation restoring force, the outer circumferential surface of the second sealing portion 330 is sealed and fitted to the inner circumferential surface of the bottle mouth 110.

[0037] The first sleeve hole 212 is sleeved on the outer periphery of the main body 310 and the bottle mouth 110, and the second sleeve hole 220 is sleeved on the outer periphery of the first sealing part 320. The nozzle 200 applies downward pressure to the elastic sealing member 300, and the elastic sealing member 300 is deformed under pressure. The lower end face and the upper end face of the main body 310 are respectively sealed and fitted to the upper end face of the bottle mouth 110 and the top wall of the first sleeve hole 212, and the upper end face of the first sealing part 320 is sealed and fitted to the top wall of the second sleeve hole 220. Through sealing at least three places, the ink cartridge can well ensure the airtightness requirement between the nozzle 200 and the ink bottle 100 to prevent ink leakage. Furthermore, referring to Figure 8 The top wall of the first sleeve hole 212 is provided with an annular sealing protrusion 2121. When the annular sealing protrusion 2121 and the upper end surface of the main body 310 are pressed against each other, both can be deformed, thereby ensuring close contact and sealing. Furthermore, while ensuring that the upper and lower end surfaces of the main body 310 are sealed and fitted with the top wall of the first sleeve hole 212 and the upper end surface of the bottle mouth 110, and the upper end surface of the first sealing part 320 is sealed and fitted with the top wall of the second sleeve hole 220, the elastic sealing member 300 will expand outward after being compressed, so that the outer circumference of the main body 310 is sealed and fitted with the inner circumference of the first sleeve hole 212, and the outer circumference of the first sealing part 320 is sealed and fitted with the inner circumference of the second sleeve hole 220, thereby further improving the airtightness between the nozzle 200 and the ink bottle 100.

[0038] Further, refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4The ink cartridge further includes a nozzle top core 400, a spring 500 and a spring support 600. The spring support 600 is installed in the bottle mouth 110. The spring 500 is installed in the spring support 600. The upper and lower ends of the spring 500 abut against the nozzle top core 400 and the spring support 600 respectively. The upper end of the nozzle top core 400 is inserted into the elastic sealing member 300. Further, referring to Figure 4 and Figure 6 A support step 111 is provided in the bottle mouth 110, and the spring support 600 includes a mounting portion 610 and a lap portion 620. The mounting portion 610 is inserted into the bottle mouth 110 for mounting the spring 500, and the lap portion 620 is lapped on the support step 111 to prevent the spring from falling into the ink bottle 100.

[0039] Further, refer to Figure 4 , Figure 7 and Fig. 9 , the overlap portion 620 is provided with a first snap-fit ​​structure 621, and the lower portion of the elastic seal 300 is provided with a second snap-fit ​​structure 340, and the second snap-fit ​​structure 340 and the first snap-fit ​​structure 621 are snap-fitted with each other. The ink cartridge designs the spring support 600 as an independent spring support 600, rather than being integrally formed with the nozzle 200, so as to avoid the spring support 600 from being shattered when the first welding portion 121 and the second welding portion 211 are welded. Since the spring support 600 and the nozzle 200 are designed as a split type, the nozzle top core 400 is pushed upward by the spring 500, and the thrust of the spring 500 will be transmitted to the elastic seal 300. The first snap-fit ​​structure 621 and the second snap-fit ​​structure 340 are provided to ensure that the nozzle top core 400 will not push the elastic seal 300 upward, thereby ensuring the sealing effect of the elastic seal 300. Therefore, the ink cartridge can prevent the spring support 600 from being shattered by ultrasound and avoid damage to the internal structure of the ink cartridge, while ensuring the airtightness of the ink cartridge. Further, the first snap-fit ​​structure 621 is a snap-fit ​​through hole, and the second snap-fit ​​structure 340 is a snap-fit ​​protrusion, which is elastically snap-fitted with the snap-fit ​​through hole to achieve relative fixation between the elastic seal 300 and the spring support 600. Furthermore, the bottom of the clamping protrusion has an elastic conical clamping portion 341 which is larger at the top and smaller at the bottom. The outer diameter of the upper end of the elastic conical clamping portion 341 when not subject to external force is larger than the inner diameter of the clamping through hole. When the elastic conical clamping portion 341 is inserted toward the clamping through hole, the elastic conical clamping portion 341 is squeezed by the clamping through hole and will shrink and pass through the clamping through hole. After passing through the clamping through hole, the elastic conical clamping portion 341 returns to its original state. When pushed upward by the nozzle top core 400, the elastic conical clamping portion 341 can be clamped on the lower end surface of the overlap portion 620 and will not pass through the clamping through hole, thereby ensuring the relative fixation between the elastic seal 300 and the spring support 600, and preventing the elastic seal 300 from being pushed upward and affecting the air tightness.

[0040] Further, refer to Figure 3 and Figure 5 , the ink cartridge also includes a nozzle snap cover 700, which is integrally formed on the top of the nozzle 200. The nozzle snap cover and the nozzle in the prior art are split structures, which are connected by snap-fit. However, the nozzle snap cover is limited by the structure of the ink suction nozzle of the print head. The small nozzle snap cover can only be designed as a structure with multiple perforations and very thin wall thickness. Under the long-term pushing action of the spring, the nozzle snap cover can easily crack and detach from the root of the perforation, causing the ink cartridge to leak ink from the nozzle. The ink cartridge has the nozzle snap cover 700 integrally formed on the top of the nozzle 200, which can effectively avoid the ink leakage problem caused by the breakage of the nozzle snap cover 700. Furthermore, a recovery cotton 800 is installed on the side of the nozzle snap cover 700 to absorb the overflowed ink and prevent the ink from leaking out of the bottle. Further, referring to Figure 4 The ink cartridge further includes a bottle cap 900 , which is sleeved on the outer periphery of the nozzle 200 and snap-connected to the lower end of the bottle shoulder 120 of the ink bottle 100 .
