Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical device technology, specifically to a printer ink cartridge mounting structure. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of desktop printing devices, such as the Epson L310, common desktop printers that use ink for printing typically have their ink cartridges mounted on the side and connected to the cartridges via a feed tube for ink supply.

[0003] For example, an existing Chinese patent (CN109203703A) discloses a continuous ink supply system for printers, including a housing for containing ink, an outlet installed at the bottom of the housing, and a sealing device installed on the top of the housing. This invention ensures that the ink flows smoothly during printing, thus improving ink flow during printing. A balancing device is installed on the top cover to ensure that the internal and external air pressures of the continuous ink supply system are always balanced, thereby preventing ink leakage due to excessive gas pressure during printing.

[0004] The ink cartridge is installed on the side of the printer near the bottom. When ink needs to be added, the user must reach into the narrow gap on the side of the printer, carefully avoiding the surrounding parts and accurately aligning the ink bottle opening with the ink cartridge filling port. This operation is quite difficult, especially when conducting ink formula printing tests, where ink replacement is difficult and affects testing efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0016] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0017] Please see Figures 1-4 This utility model provides a technical solution: a printer ink cartridge installation structure, including a U-shaped continuous ink supply cartridge 1 and ink bottles 5. The bottom of the U-shaped continuous ink supply cartridge 1 is provided with a base plate 2, which provides a stable support foundation for the U-shaped continuous ink supply cartridge 1, ensuring the cartridge is securely installed inside the printer and preventing vibration from affecting the normal ink supply and print quality. The U-shaped continuous ink supply cartridge 1 has a partition 4 inside. When there are multiple ink bottles 5, the partition 4 separates adjacent ink bottles 5, contributing to a more rational layout of the internal structure of the cartridge. A push plate 3 is provided on one side of the opening of the U-shaped continuous ink supply cartridge 1, and a fixing plate 9 is provided on one side of the top of the base plate 2. A spring 10 is provided between the fixing plate 9 and the push plate 3. The push plate 3 abuts against the outer wall of the ink bottle 5. When replacing the ink bottle 5, the ink bottle 5 can be pulled out by overcoming the elastic force of the spring 10. After replacement, the push plate 3 automatically abuts against the ink bottle 5 under the elastic force of the spring 10, ensuring the stability of the ink bottle 5 during the printing process and preventing the ink bottle 5 from affecting the continuity of ink supply and printing effect due to loosening.

[0018] The ink bottle 5 has a cap 6 at the top, with a continuous ink supply tube 7 in the center of the cap 6. One end of the continuous ink supply tube 7 extends to the bottom of the ink bottle 5. The cap 6 is threaded to the ink bottle 5, a connection that is tight and easy to disassemble and install. When ink needs to be added, the cap 6 can be unscrewed, and after adding ink, the cap 6 can be screwed back on to prevent ink leakage and ensure the airtightness of the ink bottle 5.

[0019] The U-shaped continuous ink supply cartridge 1 has a receiving groove 11 on one side of its top. A magnetic suction plate 12 is rotatably mounted on one side of the top of the receiving groove 11, and a magnet 13 is mounted on one side of the outer wall of the bottle cap 6. The receiving groove 11 is located on one side of the top of the U-shaped continuous ink supply cartridge 1. During the ink filling process, ink may adhere to the bottle cap 6 and the continuous ink supply tube 7. The adhered ink flows into the receiving groove 11 along the magnetic suction plate 12. The receiving groove 11 can collect the adhered ink, preventing ink from contaminating other parts of the printer and keeping the area around the printer clean.

[0020] The magnetic suction plate 12 is connected to the receiving groove 11 via a damping shaft. One end of the magnetic suction plate 12 extends into the receiving groove 11, and a discharge valve is provided on one side of the bottom of the receiving groove 11. The angle of the magnetic suction plate 12 can be adjusted by the magnetic suction between the magnet 13 on the bottle cap 6 and the magnetic suction plate 12. The magnetic suction between the magnet 13 on the bottle cap 6 and the magnetic suction plate 12 allows the unscrewed bottle cap 6 to be magnetically fixed to the magnetic suction plate 12, facilitating placement of the bottle cap 6 when adding ink and preventing it from being lost or soiled. It also facilitates the subsequent tightening of the bottle cap 6. The discharge valve is located on one side of the bottom of the receiving groove 11. When a certain amount of overflowing ink has been collected in the receiving groove 11, the ink can be discharged through the discharge valve, cleaning the receiving groove 11 and maintaining its normal function.

[0021] An air inlet valve 8 is provided on one side of the top of the bottle cap 6. The bottle cap 6 and the ink bottle 5 are connected by threads. The air inlet valve 8 is located on one side of the top of the bottle cap 6. When the ink in the ink bottle 5 is drawn out, the air inlet valve 8 allows outside air to enter the ink bottle 5, maintaining the air pressure balance inside and outside the ink bottle 5 and avoiding negative pressure caused by the reduction of ink, which would affect the normal extraction and supply of ink.

[0022] There are multiple ink bottles 5, and each adjacent ink bottle 5 is separated by a partition 4. The ink bottles 5 serve as ink storage containers, and multiple ink bottles 5 can store inks of different colors or compositions separately to meet the needs of color printing or special ink printing, and facilitate the classification, use and management of inks.

[0023] When using the printer ink cartridge, it is connected to the printer's ink pump via the continuous ink supply tube 7. When ink needs to be added, the cap 6 can be unscrewed through the threaded connection between the cap 6 and the ink bottle 5. The cap 6 can be magnetically fixed to the magnetic plate 12 by the magnetic attraction between the magnet 13 on the cap 6 and the magnetic plate 12. Then, ink can be added directly to the ink bottle 5, and the cap 6 can be tightened afterward. Adding ink is convenient. When ink bottle 5 needs to be replaced, push plate 3 abuts against the outside of ink bottle 5 by the elastic force of spring 10. When replacing ink bottle 5, it is only necessary to overcome the elastic force of spring 10 to pull out ink bottle 5. After replacing ink bottle 5, push plate 3 automatically abuts against ink bottle 5 under the elastic force of spring 10 to ensure the stability of ink bottle 5 during printing.

[0024] Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.
