AI Technical Summary
Existing ink cartridges lack an effective indicator when the ink is depleted, making it difficult for staff to know the remaining ink level in a timely manner. This can easily lead to ink supply interruptions for the printer and affect normal operation.
A cartridge with a liquid level indication structure was designed. The liquid level indication component includes a floating ball, a traction magnet rod, a magnetic coil, and an indicator. The floating ball moves the magnet rod with the liquid level, cutting magnetic lines of force to generate current, forming a closed loop. The current is transmitted to the indicator through a wire to give an indication.
It provides timely alerts on the remaining ink level in the ink cartridges, ensuring that staff can add ink promptly and preventing printer downtime due to insufficient ink.
