[0034] like Figures 1 to 11 As shown, in this embodiment, the utility model includes a base 1 and an ink bottle 2, the base 1 is provided with a accommodating cavity 5 for installing an ink cartridge 3, the bottom of the accommodating cavity 5 is provided with an ink absorbing member 6, the ink absorbing member 6 abuts against the bottom of the ink cartridge 3 when the ink cartridge 3 is installed, the ink absorbing member 6 is provided with an ink absorbing hole 7, the ink absorbing hole 7 is connected to the bottom of the base 1, the base 1 is provided with an ink adding cover body 8 located at the upper end of the accommodating cavity 5, the ink bottle 2 can be plugged into the ink adding cover body 8, and the ink bottle 2 is connected with the ink cartridge 3 when plugged in.

[0035] With respect to the deficiencies of the prior art, in the present invention, when adding ink, the ink bottle 2 is plugged into the ink filling cover 8, so that the ink bottle 2 is connected to the ink cartridge 3 located in the accommodating chamber 5 for adding ink; after the ink filling is completed, the ink bottle 2 and the ink filling cover 8 are removed, and a syringe is used to absorb ink from the ink suction hole 7, so that the ink in the ink cartridge 3 reaches the nozzle at the bottom of the ink cartridge 3. Therefore, the ink dispenser of the present invention can not only add ink, but also absorb ink to the bottom of the ink cartridge 3 to absorb ink, thereby improving the printing quality of the ink cartridge 3, so that the present invention has the advantages of being able to add ink and absorb ink.

[0036] In some embodiments, the ink absorbing member 6 is an ink absorbing elastic pad. The ink absorbing elastic pad may be an ink absorbing rubber pad. Specifically, when the ink cartridge 3 is installed in the accommodating chamber 5, the nozzle plane at the bottom of the ink cartridge 3 is sealed by compressing the ink absorbing member 6, and the ink absorbing member 6 exerts an upward force on the bottom of the ink cartridge 3, so that the ink cartridge 3 is not easy to leak ink when installed.

[0037] In some embodiments, the ink filling cover 8 has an insertion port 9, the ink bottle 2 can be inserted into the insertion port 9, an ink outlet channel 10 and an air inlet 12 are provided in the insertion port 9, the lower end of the ink outlet channel 10 extends into the accommodating chamber 5, and the ink outlet channel 10 and the air inlet 12 are both connected to the ink bottle 2 when the ink bottle 2 is inserted; the number of the insertion ports 9 is multiple. Specifically, when the ink bottle 2 is inserted into the insertion port 9, the ink outlet channel 10 and the air inlet 12 are both connected to the ink bottle 2, so that air can enter the ink bottle 2 through the air inlet 12, and the ink in the ink bottle 2 can flow out to the ink cartridge 3 located in the accommodating chamber 5 through the ink outlet channel 10.

[0038] In some embodiments, the ink bottle 2 is provided with an ink cavity 13 and an air cavity 15, the upper end of the air cavity 15 is connected with the upper end of the ink cavity 13, the lower end of the ink cavity 13 is provided with an ink outlet 16, the upper end of the ink outlet channel 10 is connected with the ink outlet 16 when the ink bottle 2 is plugged in, the lower end of the air cavity 15 is provided with an air inlet 17, and the air inlet hole 12 is connected with the air inlet 17 when the ink bottle 2 is plugged in. Among them, the air inlet 17 is provided with a sealing part, and the air inlet bone position 11 pierces the sealing part when the ink bottle 2 is plugged in; the ink outlet 16 is also provided with a sealing rubber ring. Specifically, when the ink bottle 2 is plugged into the socket 9, the air inlet 12 is connected with the air inlet 17, so that the air passes through the air inlet 12, the air inlet 17 and the air cavity 15 in sequence and then enters the ink cavity 13; at the same time, the ink outlet channel 10 is connected with the ink cavity 13 through the ink outlet 16, so that the ink in the ink cavity 13 can flow into the ink cartridge 3 through the ink outlet channel 10 to achieve ink adding. Therefore, by passing air into the ink cavity 13, the ink in the ink cavity 13 can flow out smoothly, which is convenient for operation.

[0039] In some embodiments, both ends of the accommodating chamber 5 are provided with an ink cartridge installation portion 18, and the ink cartridge installation portion 18 includes a movable buckle 19 and a limiting block 20. The limiting block 20 is provided with a limiting groove 21, and a movable elastic portion 22 is provided in the limiting groove 21. The movable buckle 19 is located on the inner side of the elastic portion 22, and the movable buckle 19 is buckled on the ink cartridge 3 when the ink cartridge 3 is installed. The deformation amount of the elastic portion 22 is limited by the limiting groove 21. Specifically, when the ink cartridge 3 is installed in the accommodating chamber 5, the ink cartridge 3 squeezes the movable buckles 19 on both sides thereof, so that the elastic portion 22 is deformed, and the movable buckle 19 can be buckled on the ink cartridge 3. Therefore, through the arrangement of the above structure, the ink cartridge 3 can be detachably installed in the accommodating chamber 5, and can be stably installed without being easily dislocated.

[0040] In some embodiments, the ink dispenser further comprises a syringe, which is used to absorb ink from the ink suction hole 7. Specifically, the ink is sucked from the ink suction hole 7 by the syringe, so that the ink in the ink cartridge 3 reaches the nozzle at the bottom of the ink cartridge 3 to improve the printing quality.

[0041] In some embodiments, the bottom of the ink cartridge 3 has a nozzle, and the nozzle is connected to the ink suction hole 7 when the ink cartridge 3 is installed; the ink cartridge 3 includes an ink cartridge housing 23, and the ink cartridge housing 23 is detachably connected to a perforated surface cover 25; the bottom of the perforated surface cover 25 is provided with a positioning elastic block 26 and a positioning block 27, and both the positioning elastic block 26 and the positioning block 27 are interference-fitted with the ink cartridge housing 23; the positioning block 27 is located in the middle of the bottom of the perforated surface cover 25, and the positioning elastic block 26 is located at one end of the bottom of the perforated surface cover 25. Specifically, the perforated surface cover 25 is fixed by the interference fit of the positioning block 27 and the positioning elastic block 26 with the side of the ink cartridge housing 23 to prevent the perforated surface cover 25 from falling off.

[0042] It should be noted that, during the operation, the ink cartridge 3 that needs to be recycled and reused is removed from its cover by using shears, and the removed ink cartridge body 23 can continue to be used, while the cover needs to be replaced; further, the perforated cover 25 is installed on the recycled ink cartridge body 23 to form a new ink cartridge 3; further, the ink cartridge 3 is installed in the accommodating cavity 5 of the base 1, and the ink adding cover 8 is covered on the accommodating cavity 5; further, the ink bottle 2 is plugged into the ink adding cover 8 to add ink to the ink cartridge 3; after adding ink, the ink bottle 2 and the ink adding cover 8 are removed, and ink is sucked from the ink suction hole 7 by a syringe, so that the ink in the ink cartridge 3 reaches the nozzle at the bottom of the ink cartridge 3. Therefore, the utility model can replace the perforated cover 25 of the ink cartridge 3 that needs to be recycled again, and add ink to it to form a new ink cartridge 3 that can be reused.
