Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a printer, in particular to an ink cartridge mounting structure of a printer. Background Art

[0002] The installation structure of traditional ink cartridges is usually relatively complex. When installing, users often need to carefully refer to the instruction manual, and it is easy to cause the ink cartridge to fail to be installed smoothly due to incorrect direction or misalignment. This complexity increases the operation difficulty of users, and may even cause damage to the ink cartridge or the printer during installation.

[0003] The traditional ink cartridge locking structure may lack necessary stability. During the printing process, the ink cartridge is prone to loosen due to the vibration of the device, resulting in a decline in printing quality. In severe cases, this may even cause damage to other parts of the printer.

[0004] During the installation process of the ink cartridge, there is a lack of effective anti-misoperation design, which makes it possible for users to complete incorrect installation without knowing it, increasing the probability of failures and requiring additional time for debugging.

[0010] As a preferred technical solution, the guiding structure includes guiding grooves misaligned in the installation cavity and guiding strips arranged on the ink cartridge main body;

[0011] The ink cartridge main body is guided and arranged in the guiding grooves of the installation cavity through the guiding strips, and then the ink cartridge main body is inserted into the installation cavity.

[0012] As a preferred technical solution, an installation groove is arranged at the bottom of the installation cavity, and a silica gel ring for preventing ink leakage is fixed in the installation groove; the silica gel ring protrudes from the installation groove; when the ink cartridge main body is inserted into the installation groove and contacts the silica gel ring for sealing;

[0013] The ink outlet end of the ink cartridge body corresponds to the printing end at the bottom of the ink cartridge mounting seat, thereby realizing the ink output of the ink cartridge body.

[0014] As a preferred technical solution, the ink cartridge locking structure includes a locking seat and a movable cavity provided inside the locking seat;

[0015] A guide plate is arranged inside the movable cavity in a guiding manner, and a pull rod is arranged at one end of the guide plate. One end of the pull rod passes through the locking seat and is connected with a pulling block;

[0016] A locking rod is arranged at the other end of the guide plate, and the locking rod passes through the other end of the movable cavity and is placed in the guide groove;

[0017] Locking holes are arranged on the guide strip, and the positions of the locking holes correspond to the positions of the locking rods.

[0018] As a preferred technical solution, a compression spring is sleeved on the pull rod, one end of the compression spring is in contact with the movable cavity, and the other end of the compression spring is in contact with the movable plate. The guide plate is pushed to move by the compression spring, thereby driving the locking rod to be placed in the locking hole of the guide strip.

[0019] As a preferred technical solution, a baffle is arranged on the front surface of the ink cartridge body, and a pull ring is rotatably arranged on the baffle to facilitate pulling out the ink cartridge body.
