Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of split ink cartridge technology, and in particular to a split ink cartridge. Background Technology

[0002] Ink cartridges, in modern inkjet printers, mainly refer to the components used to store printing ink and ultimately complete the printing process. They are mainly divided into separate ink cartridges and integrated ink cartridges. Separate ink cartridges are products where the printhead and ink cartridge are designed separately. The starting point for this structural design is mainly to reduce printing costs, because this type of ink cartridge is not integrated into the printhead. When the ink cartridge is invalid, the printhead can continue to be used. It also simplifies the process of disassembling and assembling the ink cartridge for users and reduces the chance of human-caused damage to the printer.

[0003] Existing separate ink cartridges typically use a snap-fit ​​design where the bottom of the cartridge is attached to the mounting base. This design results in insufficient stability after installation, and the snap-fit ​​is prone to damage after repeated disassembly and reassembly, causing some inconvenience to users. To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, we propose a separate ink cartridge design. Utility Model Content

[0004] The main objective of this invention is to provide a separate ink cartridge, which can effectively solve the problems in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0006] A split-type ink cartridge includes a split-type ink cartridge mounting plate. Side sealing plates are symmetrically and detachably mounted on the top of the split-type ink cartridge mounting plate. A fixed shaft is detachably mounted on one side of each side sealing plate. A movable frame abuts against one side of each side sealing plate. Semi-circular grooves are symmetrically formed on the outer side of each movable frame. An elastic rubber sheet is fixedly connected to one side of the top wall of each semi-circular groove in the movable frame. A limit block is fixedly connected to one side of each elastic rubber sheet. Multiple sets of slots are evenly formed on the top of the split-type ink cartridge mounting plate. Insert blocks are inserted into each slot. A single ink cartridge is detachably mounted on the top of each insert block. One bottom side of the single ink cartridge abuts against the top of the split-type ink cartridge mounting plate.

[0007] Preferably, a protrusion is detachably installed on one side of the side sealing plate, and one side of the protrusion abuts against one side of the individual ink cartridge.

[0008] Preferably, an elastic rubber pad is detachably installed on the top of the inner wall of the movable frame, the bottom of the elastic rubber pad abuts against the top of the side sealing plate, and the bottom of the elastic rubber pad abuts against the top of the individual ink cartridge.

[0009] Preferably, one end of the limiting block is provided with a rounded corner, and a limiting groove is provided on one side of the side sealing plate, with the inside of the limiting groove of the side sealing plate abutting against the outer side of the end of the limiting block with the rounded corner.

[0010] Preferably, the movable frame has symmetrically provided waist-shaped holes on its outer side, and the inside of the waist-shaped holes in the movable frame is slidably connected to the outside of the fixed shaft.

[0011] Preferably, one side of the side sealing plate abuts against one side of the elastic rubber sheet, and one side of the side sealing plate is vertically flush with one side of the split ink cartridge mounting plate.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0013] 1. In this utility model, the top of the individual ink cartridge is flexibly bound by the movable frame, elastic rubber pad and elastic rubber sheet, and the individual ink cartridge is stably placed on the split ink cartridge mounting plate with the side sealing plate. The protrusions are also used to limit and squeeze the side of the individual ink cartridge with the side sealing plate, which further enhances the stability of the individual ink cartridge between the side sealing plates. The individual ink cartridge is surrounded and limited on all four sides, and the installation of the individual ink cartridge is more secure.

[0014] 2. In this utility model, the movable frame can be easily replaced by pulling the limit block away from the side sealing plate after the elastic rubber sheet is set. Only the movable frame serves as the movable limit. The overall disassembly and assembly structure of the device is simple, easy to operate, and more durable than the buckle with less damage.

[0020] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this utility model easier to understand, the present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.

[0021] Example 1, as Figures 1-3 As shown, a split ink cartridge is installed by inserting a plug 7 into a slot in a split ink cartridge mounting plate 1. Individual ink cartridges 8 are then installed on the split ink cartridge mounting plate 1 via the plug 7. The slots on the split ink cartridge mounting plate 1 are evenly spaced and each plug 7 is inserted into a slot. Each individual ink cartridge 8 is then installed onto the split ink cartridge mounting plate 1 via the plug 7. A limiting groove on the symmetrical side sealing plate 2 at the top of the split ink cartridge mounting plate 1 is used to limit the positioning blocks 6. The limiting blocks 6 pull on the elastic rubber sheet 5, causing the movable frame 4 to press the elastic rubber pad 10 tightly against the upper surface of the individual ink cartridge 8. This ensures a more secure installation of the individual ink cartridge 8 on the split ink cartridge mounting plate 1.

[0022] After the individual ink cartridge 8 is installed into the frame formed by the split ink cartridge mounting plate 1, the side sealing plate 2, and the movable frame 4, the protrusion 9 installed on one side of the side sealing plate 2 abuts against one side of the individual ink cartridge 8. Thus, the protrusion 9 on one side of the side sealing plate 2, which is symmetrically arranged on the split ink cartridge mounting plate 1, abuts against one side of the individual ink cartridge 8 installed on the split ink cartridge mounting plate 1. The protrusion 9, together with the side sealing plate 2, squeezes the side of the individual ink cartridge 8 installed on the split ink cartridge mounting plate 1, strengthens the limiting position of the individual ink cartridge 8 on the side of the split ink cartridge mounting plate 1, and securely installs the individual ink cartridge 8 on the split ink cartridge mounting plate 1.

[0023] Example 2, as Figures 2-4As shown, in a split ink cartridge, when the individual ink cartridge 8 is secured to the split ink cartridge mounting plate 1 using the movable frame 4, side sealing plate 2, and split ink cartridge mounting plate 1, the elastic rubber pad 10, in conjunction with the elastic rubber sheet 5, also acts as an elastic restraint above the individual ink cartridge 8. The elastic rubber sheet 5 and the elastic rubber pad 10 themselves provide elastic flexibility to secure the individual ink cartridge 8 to the split ink cartridge mounting plate 1. When the individual ink cartridge 8 needs to be replaced, by lifting the bottom of the elastic rubber sheet 5 and pulling it, the limiting block 6 is disengaged from the limiting groove in the side sealing plate 2. The limiting block 6 no longer restricts the elastic rubber sheet 5 to the side sealing plate 2. Then, pulling the elastic rubber sheet 5 causes the movable frame 4 to lift the elastic rubber pad 10 upwards on the side sealing plate 2, detaching the elastic rubber pad 10 from the individual ink cartridge 8. The elastic rubber pad 10 is no longer tightly bound to the top of the individual ink cartridge 8. Then, pulling the elastic rubber pad 10... The piece 5 drives the movable frame 4 to rise until the bottom of the inner wall of the waist-shaped hole in the movable frame 4 abuts against the outside of the fixed shaft 3. Then, the movable frame 4 is pushed to rotate on the side sealing plate 2 around the fixed shaft 3 to open, so that the individual ink cartridge 8 can be removed. Push the individual ink cartridge 8 upward to move the insert 7 out of the slot in the split ink cartridge mounting plate 1 and pull the individual ink cartridge 8 out horizontally between the movable frame 4 and the split ink cartridge mounting plate 1. Then, the replacement individual ink cartridge 8, along with the insert 7, is inserted horizontally through the gap between the movable frame 4 and the split ink cartridge mounting plate 1. Then, the individual ink cartridge 8, along with the insert 7, is inserted into the slot in the split ink cartridge mounting plate 1. The movable frame 4 is closed, and the movable frame 4 drives the elastic rubber pad 10 to abut against and limit the top of the individual ink cartridge 8 again. The elastic rubber piece 5 drives the limiting block 6 to be inserted into the limiting groove in the side sealing plate 2 again, completing the replacement of the individual ink cartridge 8.

[0024] It should be noted that this utility model is a split ink cartridge. In use, the split ink cartridge mounting plate 1 and the side sealing plate 2 are used to fix and limit the bottom outer side of the individual ink cartridge 8. The movable frame 4 is fixed above the side sealing plate 2 by the elastic rubber sheet 5 and the limiting block 6. The movable frame 4, together with the elastic rubber pad 10 and the elastic rubber sheet 5, flexibly binds the top of the individual ink cartridge 8, thereby stably placing the individual ink cartridge 8 on the split ink cartridge mounting plate 1. When the individual ink cartridge 8 is stably placed, the protrusion 9, together with the side sealing plate 2, limits and squeezes the side of the individual ink cartridge 8, further enhancing the stability of the individual ink cartridge 8 between the side sealing plates 2. Furthermore, by pulling the elastic rubber sheet 5 to drive the limiting block 6 away from the side sealing plate 2 and then pulling open the movable frame 4, the individual ink cartridge 8 can be easily replaced. The disassembly and assembly structure is simple and the operation is more convenient.

[0025] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of this utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claims. The scope of protection of this utility model is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
