Abstract
The invention provides an ink box for an ink-jet printer. The ink box comprises a box cover, a box body and a lighting device; and an integrated circuit chip is assembled on the box body and is electrically communicated with the lighting device. The ink box for the ink-jet printer is simple in structure, and can be accurately and reliably distinguished when being arranged on the ink-jet printer.
Description
Technical field
The present invention relates to cartridge of ink-jet printer.
Background technology
The inkjet type printer, its printing type normally provides Mo Yuan by the ink tank of print cartridge and so on, via corresponding ink flow duct ink is transported to record head, the nozzle ejection that under the driving of print signal ink is arranged from record head is finished the record of character or figure to the recording mediums such as paper.Common commercially available ink-jet printer can be divided into piezoelectric ink jet printer and bubble type ink-jet printer substantially according to the version of its nozzle.
The piezoelectric ink jet printer is that near the ink flow duct both sides its record head nozzle respectively arrange one or more piezo-electric crystal.Piezo-electric crystal is subject to producing the contraction or expansion distortion by the control of the electric pulse print signal of Data Modulation, and the ink in the extruding jet nozzle forms fine drop after nozzle penetrates, and splashes down to recording medium for example on the page of paper, forms a measuring point.Some measuring points assemble required image.
The bubble type ink-jet printer, its recording head structure is similar to the piezoelectric ink jet printer.Their difference is that near ink flow duct inwall or the outer wall of the bubble type ink-jet printer record head nozzle is provided with heating electrode.The electric impulse signal of Data Modulation is sent on the heating electrode of nozzle, and heating electrode is rapidly heated, and near the ink of nozzle is vaporized rapidly, forms steam bubble.The pressure that the steam bubble expansion produces makes ink form fine one by one ink droplet after nozzle penetrates, and splashes down to the paper page.After electric pulse disappeared, the ink in the ink devaporation, nozzle maintained level with neat mouthful of nozzle outer surface by surface tension.Record head extracts the ink flow duct at the ink flow nozzle place in the negative pressure guiding ink storage chamber that forms behind the ink.
No matter be the piezoelectric ink jet printer, or the bubble type ink-jet printer, the ink tank or the ink-jet box that all need to be complementary with it are laid in ink.For the member that holds ink, the ink-jet box of current use mainly is the expendable print cartridge as ink-jet printer.The expendable print cartridge just is configured in ink-jet printer inside under only having in working order, namely on the word car of printer; Its general and the ink-jet printer maintenance is separated from each other state under off working state.
Referring to Fig. 1,2, the print cartridge 100 that a kind of current print cartridge production firm comparatively generally produces is shown.This print cartridge 100 mainly comprises lid 101 and box body 102 on consisting of.Be provided with the ink outlet port 107 that is communicated with its inner ink storage chamber and external environment condition in the bottom of box body 102.This ink outlet port 107 is passages that ink-jet printer obtains ink.Lid 101 be covered in box body 102 uncovered 106 on, in order to form internal chamber of aforementioned ink storage chamber and other sealings etc. in the inside of box body 102.On one of box body 102 narrower sidewall 109, form brace table 108 in its position near box body 102 bottoms.Set IC chip 103 at this brace table 108.Lid 101 extends handle 110 corresponding to the position of sidewall 109.Under the state within print cartridge 100 is packed ink-jet printer word car into, handle 110 between sidewall 109 and word car, produce be similar to spring or chock the same prop up effect, it is inner that print cartridge 100 is immobilizated in the word car.
After on print cartridge 100 is packed ink-jet printer word car into, circuit on the IC chip 103 and the power connection on the ink-jet printer, the light that the light emitting diode on the IC chip 103 is excited to send are imported in the light-guiding pillar 104 that is arranged on the sidewall 109.After light enters light-guiding pillar 104, the end that is covered by handle 110 by being transmitted to light-guiding pillar 104 behind the multiple total reflection, appeared by the window 105 that is arranged by handle 110 by the final reflecting surface reflection in the light-guiding pillar 104 at this distal portion light, and received by the optical receiver of ink-jet printer inside, thereby identification and confirm that print cartridge 100 is correctly installed.
Yet, in the production and use procedure of print cartridge 100, can often cause the reflecting effect of light-guiding pillar 104 bad owing to the difference of material, so that the light that appears from window 105 a little less than, perhaps contaminated because of light-guiding pillar 104 in the use procedure, and the impaired situation such as break of light-guiding pillar 104 in the transportation, all can cause light-guiding pillar 104 to lose the light transmition function, cause ink-jet printer identification whether correctly not to be mounted in the word car with affirmation print cartridge 100, form the defective mounting of print cartridge.
Summary of the invention
In order to overcome the problems referred to above, the object of the invention is to provide a kind of cartridge of ink-jet printer.This print cartridges structure is simple, and it can provide accurately, install reliably for ink-jet printer recognition function.
Cartridge of ink-jet printer according to the above-mentioned purpose design comprises lid, box body and photophore.Be equipped with IC chip on the box body.Photophore and IC chip electric connection.
Aforementioned cartridge of ink-jet printer, its photophore is light emitting diode.
Aforementioned cartridge of ink-jet printer, its photophore is fixed on the carriage.Carriage is fixed on the lid.
Aforementioned cartridge of ink-jet printer is provided with the handle that reaches outside the box body on its lid.Photophore is covered by handle.Handle offers the light that allows photophore to send corresponding to the position of photophore and appears window to the handle.
Aforementioned cartridge of ink-jet printer is provided with concentration piece in its window.
Cartridge of ink-jet printer of the present invention causes the ink-jet printer can not identification and confirm the problem whether print cartridge has correctly been installed for existing print cartridge because its light-guiding pillar loses the light transmition function, is provided with photophore at self box body.IC chip electric connection on this photophore and the box body.Under this make, after print cartridge was encased in ink-jet printer, IC chip was connected the power supply of ink-jet printer inside, and then power supply is lighted it to photophore.The light that photophore sends is injected ink-jet printer inside, is received by the optical receiver of ink-jet printer inside, and then makes the judgement that print cartridge is correctly installed.This make, because directly adopting photophore institute isolychn as the signal source of ink-jet printer, compare existing print cartridge with through the light of the conduction mode as the ink-jet printer signal source, its signal has higher efficiency of transmission because having reduced the conduction link, and the impaired anxiety of light conduction parts without existing print cartridge, so print cartridge of the present invention is not only simple in structure, can also provide accurately for ink-jet printer, print cartridge is installed recognition function reliably.
