All other implementations obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0025] The utility model provides an ink cartridge that can be quickly installed and removed, including a mounting frame 1, an ink cartridge body 2 is provided inside the mounting frame 1, a floating plate 3 is provided inside the ink cartridge body 2, one end of the ink cartridge body 2 is fixedly connected to an elastic plate 4, a clamping plate 5 is provided on the end of the inner wall of the mounting frame 1 away from the elastic plate 4, and an ink outlet tube 6 is provided on one end of the lower surface of the inner wall of the mounting frame 1;

[0026] Among them: the side of the splint 5 is fixedly connected with an anti-slip pad 501, the middle of the upper surface of the splint 5 is fixedly connected with a slider 502, the two ends and the middle of the other side of the splint 5 are fixedly connected with an adjusting rod 503, the other end of the adjusting rod 503 is fixedly connected to the side of the inner wall of the mounting frame 1, and the outer side of the adjusting rod 503 is sleeved with a spring 504, the two ends of the spring 504 are respectively against the two ends of the adjusting rod 503, when in use, the splint 5 is pushed by the elastic force of the spring 504, which will generate a certain clamping force on the ink cartridge body 2, thereby fixing the ink cartridge body 2.

[0027] Furthermore, a locking groove 101 is provided at one end of the upper surface of the mounting frame 1, and an ink outlet 102 is provided at one end of the lower surface of the mounting frame 1. The inner wall of the ink outlet 102 is fixedly connected to the side of the ink outlet tube 6. A sliding groove 103 is provided at the other end of the upper surface of the mounting frame 1. The inner wall of the sliding groove 103 is slidingly connected to the side of the slider 502. When in use, the sliding groove 103 can be used to limit the position of the splint 5 during the movement of the slider 502, thereby improving the stability of the device.

[0028] Furthermore, an ink filling port is provided at one end of the upper surface of the ink cartridge body 2, and a sealing cover 202 is threadedly connected to the top of the ink filling port. A connecting chain 2021 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the sealing cover 202, and the other end of the connecting chain 2021 is fixedly installed to the upper surface of the ink cartridge body 2 through a fixing seat 2022. A limiting groove 201 is provided at both ends of the inner wall of the ink cartridge body 2, and a scale 203 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the limiting groove 201. When in use, the ink filling port is threadedly connected through the sealing cover 202, which facilitates the addition of ink to the device. At the same time, the connecting chain 2021 and the fixing seat 2022 are used to limit the sealing cover 202, thereby preventing the sealing cover 202 from being lost.

[0029] Furthermore, both ends of the floating plate 3 are fixedly connected to the limit blocks 301, and the limit blocks 301 are slidably connected to the inner wall of the limit groove 201. The lower surface of the floating plate 3 is linearly and equidistantly arranged with floats 302. When in use, the floats 302 can generate buoyancy in the ink inside the ink cartridge body 2, so that the floating plate 3 drives the limit blocks 301 to move, thereby realizing the monitoring of the remaining ink inside the ink cartridge body 2, and the slide groove 103 is cast with transparent material, so that it is convenient for the staff to observe the position of the limit block 301.

[0030] Furthermore, a locking block 401 is fixedly connected to the middle of one side of the elastic plate 4, and the locking block 401 is adapted to the inner wall of the locking groove 101. When in use, the locking block 401 is provided, and during the installation process, it is pushed by the elastic force of the elastic plate 4 and will be stuck into the inside of the locking groove 101, thereby realizing auxiliary positioning of the ink cartridge body 2.

[0031] Furthermore, a puncture head 601 is fixedly connected to the top of the ink outlet tube 6, and a through hole 602 is opened in a circular shape and equidistantly at the top of the side of the ink outlet tube 6. When in use, the puncture head 601 will puncture the ink outlet hole of the ink cartridge body 2, so that the ink inside the ink cartridge body 2 flows into the printer through the through hole 602 and the ink outlet tube 6.

[0032] The working principle of the present invention is as follows: when in use, the device is first installed in the printer. During the installation process, the slider 502 is first toggled to drive the clamping plate 5 to move. When the clamping plate 5 moves, it squeezes the spring 504, causing it to deform and generate elastic force. At this time, the ink cartridge body 2 is inserted into the interior of the installation frame 1. When it is inserted into the appropriate position, the locking block 401 is pushed into the interior of the locking groove 101 by the elastic force of the elastic plate 4. At this time, the slider 502 is released, and the spring 504 will push the clamping plate 5 through its own elastic force, causing it to drive the anti-slip pad 501 to squeeze the ink cartridge body 2, thereby achieving the fixation of the ink cartridge body 2, which is convenient and quick. Similarly, when disassembling, it is only necessary to detent the slider 502 and then pull the elastic plate 4 to move the locking block 401 out of the locking groove 101, and then take the ink cartridge body 2 out of the interior of the installation frame 1.

[0033] During long-term use, the provided float 302 can generate buoyancy in the ink inside the ink cartridge body 2, so that the float plate 3 drives the limit block 301 to move, thereby realizing the monitoring of the ink remaining amount inside the ink cartridge body 2, and the slide groove 103 is cast with transparent material, so that it is convenient for the staff to observe the position of the limit block 301. The provided sealing cover 202 has an ink filling port connected by a threaded connection, which facilitates the addition of ink to the device. At the same time, the sealing cover 202 is limited by the connecting chain 2021 and the fixing seat 2022, so as to prevent the sealing cover 202 from being lost.

[0034] Finally, a few points should be explained: First, in the description of this application, it should be noted that, unless otherwise specified or limited, the terms "mounted," "connected," and "connected" should be understood in a broad sense, and may refer to mechanical or electrical connections, internal communication between two components, or direct connection.
