[0012] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0013] An external pump pump forces ink into the ink tank through the inlet pipe and conduit. The ink filling causes a float to move upwards, which in turn moves the connecting rod and the pressure rod upwards, squeezing the pressure block. This causes the pressure block to move to the left, which in turn moves the baffle to the left, sealing the ink tank. When the ink level in the ink tank decreases, the float moves downwards, causing the connecting rod to move downwards. At this point, the pressure rod does not move downwards due to the spring's return force. When the connecting rod descends to a certain height, its upper end pulls the pressure rod downwards. The spring's return force then moves the pressure block and baffle to the right, releasing the baffle's seal on the ink tank. This automatic ink refilling ensures the printer's stability during continuous printing, prevents printing interruptions, eliminates the need for manual ink refilling, and maintains high printing efficiency.
