A replaceable inkjet printer cartridge structure

Abstract

This utility model relates to a replaceable inkjet printer cartridge structure, comprising a housing, a printhead fixedly connected to the outer surface of the housing, a metal contact plate fixedly connected to the outer surface of the housing, a mounting shell fixedly connected to the inner side wall of the housing, an ink-absorbing sponge provided on the inner side wall of the mounting shell, a sliding frame slidably connected to the inner side wall of the mounting shell, a filter screen provided inside the sliding frame, and a sealing plate rotatably connected to the outer surface of the housing. This device, through the movement of a baffle, under the force of a second elastic element, causes a top plate to pop out the sliding frame and filter screen, allowing direct removal of the filter screen without disassembling the cartridge body, simplifying the replacement process. Ordinary users can perform maintenance independently. A first elastic element drives the baffle to reset, pushing the baffle into a second limiting groove to prevent the sliding frame from popping out during use. The installation of a sealing ring enhances the internal airtightness of the cartridge, effectively preventing ink leakage.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of printing equipment technology, specifically relating to a replaceable inkjet printer cartridge structure. Background Technology

[0002] Inkjet printers mainly consist of printheads, ink systems, control systems, and paper feeding mechanisms. They work by injecting ink into the printhead and then controlling the direction and intensity of the ink jet to propel it onto the printing medium, forming a printed pattern. Inkjet printers are primarily divided into two types: continuous inkjet and non-continuous inkjet. Continuous inkjet printers continuously eject ink streams. When printing is not needed, a dedicated chamber stores the ejected ink, filters it, and refills it into the ink cartridge for reuse.

[0003] Currently, when using an inkjet printer, ink needs to be refilled after the ink inside runs out. The filter in the ink cartridge filters the ink. Over time, the filter will become clogged. The filter is usually fixed inside the ink cartridge, and the ink cartridge body is an integrated design. It requires professional tools to disassemble the ink cartridge for replacement. Ordinary users cannot do it themselves and need to rely on after-sales service. To address this issue, we propose a replaceable inkjet printer cartridge structure. Utility Model Content

[0014] To make the purpose and advantages of this utility model clearer, the following detailed description is provided in conjunction with embodiments. It should be understood that the following text is merely used to describe one or more specific implementations of this utility model and does not strictly limit the scope of protection specifically claimed by this utility model.

[0015] like Figure 1 As shown, a replaceable inkjet printer cartridge structure includes a housing 1, a printhead 2 fixedly connected to the outer surface of the housing 1, a metal contact plate 3 fixedly connected to the outer surface of the housing 1, a mounting shell 4 fixedly connected to the inner side wall of the housing 1, an ink-absorbing sponge 5 provided on the inner side wall of the mounting shell 4, a sliding frame 6 slidably connected to the inner side wall of the mounting shell 4, a filter 7 provided inside the sliding frame 6, a sealing plate 8 rotatably connected to the outer surface of the housing 1, a fixing mechanism 9 provided on the outer surface of the housing 1, a connecting plate 12 fixedly connected to the outer surface of the housing 1, an ink filling port 13 provided on the outer surface of the connecting plate 12, and a protective mechanism 14 fixedly connected to the outer surface of the housing 1. By opening the sealing plate 8 through the fixing mechanism 9, the sliding frame 6 can be removed, and the filter 7 can be replaced from the left and right sides of the sliding frame 6, thus simplifying the filter 7 replacement process.

[0016] The fixing mechanism 9 includes a first limiting slide groove 901, a baffle 902 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the first limiting slide groove 901, and a first elastic element 903 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the baffle 902 and the inner wall of the first limiting slide groove 901. A second limiting slide groove 904 is opened on the outer surface of the sealing plate 8. A plurality of second elastic elements 10 are fixedly connected to the inner side wall of the outer shell 1. A top plate 11 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of each second elastic element 10. The baffle 902 is pushed into the second limiting slide groove 904 and the first limiting slide groove 901 by the first elastic element 903, which can limit and fix the sealing plate 8. After the sealing plate 8 is opened by the force of the second elastic element 10, the top plate 11 will pop out the sliding frame 6, which makes it easy to remove the sliding frame 6 from the outer shell 1. The outer surface of the second elastic element 10 is provided with an anti-corrosion layer.

[0017] The protective mechanism 14 includes a tension spring 1401, a protective cloth 1402 fixedly connected to the outer surface of the tension spring 1401, a connecting rod 1403 fixedly connected to the outer surface of the protective cloth 1402, two buckles 1404 fixedly connected to the outer surface of the outer shell 1, a sealing ring 15 fixedly connected to the inner side wall of the mounting shell 4, and multiple elastic pull ropes 16 fixedly connected to the inner side wall of the mounting shell 4. By pulling the protective cloth 1402 and fixing the connecting rod 1403 to the buckles 1404, the protective cloth 1402 can cover the metal contact plate 3, preventing the metal contact plate 3 from being contaminated by ink or other stains when replacing the filter 7 or refilling ink. By setting the elastic pull ropes 16, the ink-absorbing sponge 5 can be supported and limited, preventing the ink-absorbing sponge 5 from moving downward when the sliding frame 6 pops out.

[0018] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: When using this device, remove it from the printer, pull out the protective cloth 1402, and fix the connecting rod 1403 to the buckle 1404. Move the baffle 902 so that it disengages from the second limiting slide groove 904. Under the force of the second elastic element 10, the top plate 11 pushes out the sliding frame 6 and the filter screen 7. Take out the filter screen 7 for replacement and push it back into the outer shell 1. Close the sealing plate 8. Under the force of the first elastic element 903, push the baffle 902 into the second limiting slide groove 904 to limit the sealing plate 8. Remove the connecting rod 1403 from the buckle 1404. Under the force of the tension spring 1401, retract the protective cloth 1402.

[0019] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various improvements and modifications without departing from the principles of this utility model, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the scope of protection of this utility model. Structures, devices, and operating methods not specifically described or explained in this utility model, unless otherwise specified or limited, shall be implemented using conventional methods in the art.
