Secondly, the size of lid 350 and set-up mode and embodiment 1 different.In the embodiment 1 that Fig. 2-7 illustrates, the size of lid 150 in horizontal plane is suitable with body 140 substantially.But in the present embodiment, the size of lid 350 in horizontal plane is only a part (about 1/2nd) for body 340, only covers inlet 341 and mounting portion 342 region when namely closing.Cover 350 shown in Figure 12 and be in the situation opened completely, now inlet 341 (after removing seal member) and mounting portion 342 are in and expose state completely.Figure 13 illustrates the position relationship of lid 350 and body 340.Can see, when lid 350 is opened completely, lid 350 is positioned at the below of the roof of body 340, is covered by body 340, namely covers 350 and is accommodated in body 340.Alternatively, the handle operating lid 350 slip for the convenience of the user is not covered by body 340.Alternatively, cover 350 also to slide above body 340.It should be appreciated by those skilled in the art, lid 350 can slide above or below body 340.

According to present embodiment, lid 350 also can not take the space beyond ink-jet printer 300 and black accomodating unit 330 in opening procedure, is suitable for very much the occasion that space is narrower and small.

Should understand, according to design of the present utility model, the position of mounting portion and inlet arranges make at lid by closing in the sliding process opened, simultaneously exposing with described mounting portion at the latest at least partially of described injection unit, and before inlet exposes completely, mounting portion is exposed at least partly.Like this, user, when carrying out refilling operation (now inlet is completely visible), always can see part or all of mounting portion, therefore, the seal member on inlet can be placed on mounting portion place, unlikely pollution surrounding environment.In addition, by rationally arranging the angle and distance between mounting portion and inlet, the size of black accomodating unit also can be more flexible, thus be more suitable for the comparatively narrow and small occasion in space.

In the ink-jet printer of the embodiment 1-3 of application drawing 2-13, only can use the ink-mist recording black white image of black kind.Therefore, be only provided with an ink tank in the inside of body, now the quantity of inlet and seal member is all only one.Accordingly, body also only needs arrange a mounting portion.

According to actual needs, also multiple ink tank can be provided with (when being integrated component when body in the inside of black accomodating unit, multiple container cavity can be formed) in body, the ink tank that 4 are held ink is such as set, and use cyan, magenta, yellow and black 4 kinds of ink-mist recording coloured images, or be provided with 6,8,12 in the inside of black accomodating unit and hold the ink tank of inks, and correspondingly use 6,8, the ink-mist recording coloured image of 12 kind of different colours.Now, the quantity of inlet, seal member and mounting portion corresponds to multiple, such as, be respectively 4,6,8 and 12.The quantity of mounting portion is identical with the quantity of seal member, makes the seal member of corresponding often kind of color all be provided with corresponding mounting portion, thus avoids polluting mutually between the ink of different colours.Namely the preferred embodiment of the black accomodating unit being suitable for record color image is below shown.

Embodiment 4

The embodiment 4 of ink accomodating unit is schematically shown in Figure 14.In order to the object simplified, eliminate the description with embodiment 3 same section when describing embodiment 4.

Meanwhile, in fig. 14, for brevity, seal member is eliminated.Therefore, it should be noted that in the description of present embodiment, the same with embodiment 1, injection unit still comprises inlet 441 and seal member (not shown), but will only represent with inlet 441 and refer to injection unit in the following description; Therefore, in the present embodiment, mentioned inlet 441 exposes, and refer to that injection unit is exposed, namely injection unit is in visible state, and do not mean that the opening of inlet 441, also, namely, when injection unit is exposed, inlet 441 both can be open state, also can be sealed by seal member, have no particular limits.

The ink-jet printer 400 being provided with the black accomodating unit 430 comprising multiple (in the present embodiment specifically two) inlet and mounting portion has been shown in Figure 14, and its China and Mexico's accomodating unit 430 is still arranged on the right flank of the body 401 of ink-jet printer 400.As shown in figure 14, lid 450 is in full open position, and inlet 441 (after removing seal member) and mounting portion 442 are in exposes state completely.Can see, inlet 441 is two with the quantity of mounting portion 442, and each inlet 441 is provided with corresponding mounting portion 442.Often pair of inlet is identical with embodiment 3 with the orientation of mounting portion, and namely inlet is positioned at the front, side of mounting portion.Thus, before inlet 441 exposes (after removing seal member) completely, mounting portion 442 part is exposed, and indicating user seal member can be positioned over mounting portion place.

Should understand, the set-up mode of often pair of mounting portion and inlet obviously also can adopt other form, such as identical with embodiment 1, and namely the orientation of mounting portion and inlet is perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of body.

In embodiment illustrated in fig. 14, the orientation between inlet parallel with longitudinal direction (orientation wherein, between inlet refers to the direction of the inlet line of centres).In the process opened at cover rim longitudinal direction like this, each inlet successively exposes.But obvious those skilled in the art also suitably can revise embodiment 4.Such as, lid can be changed into transversely direction sliding opening.Now, the orientation between inlet vertical with horizontal direction (orthogonal), in the process opened at cover rim horizontal direction like this, each inlet exposes simultaneously.But, due to mounting portion before all exposing at inlet part expose, therefore the seal member on inlet can be placed on mounting portion place by user, unlikely pollution surrounding environment.

In embodiment shown in Figure 14, black accomodating unit 430 only has a lid 450.But those skilled in the art understand, and when black accomodating unit comprises multiple inlet (mounting portion), the quantity of lid also can change.Such as can be set to two.Each like this lid only covers the inlet (mounting portion) of half, thus only exposes inlet and the mounting portion of lesser amt when injecting ink, reduces the possibility of inkiness.When inlet (mounting portion) more, also can arrange consistent with the quantity of inlet by the quantity of lid, each like this lid only covers a pair inlet and mounting portion, further reduces the possibility of inkiness.

According to design of the present utility model, when a lid covers multipair mounting portion and inlet, as long as the beeline that the position relationship of first pair of mounting portion and inlet meets mounting portion distance first end is in the beeline of inlet distance first end within the scope of the longest distance of inlet distance first end.In other words, covering in the process opened gradually, simultaneously exposing with described mounting portion at the latest at least partially of described injection unit, and mounting portion is exposed at least partly before injection unit is exposed completely, so namely, reach the object of prompting user, make user seal member can be placed on mounting portion after inlet takes off.
