Before, apply ink 1. to the ink jet head. ! (The ink supply path for supplying ink, the ink recovery path for recovering ink from the gutter, etc. are placed horizontally in the carriage.) At the end of the carriage, the ink supply path and the ink recovery path are connected to the ink supply path and the ink recovery path, respectively, at the end of the carriage.・Connect it to the ink cartridge and ink recovery pipe, and then connect it to the inkjet head and part of the play.2. This simplifies the joint work of the reink supply pipe and the ink recovery pipe, and simplifies the structure on the carriage.

った。In an inkjet printer, an inkjet head, a gutter, etc. are mounted on the key ridge, and the inkjet head ejects ink droplets onto the H/J sub-recording medium without scanning the recording medium with the inkjet head. Do you print and do not use the ink for printing? The ink can be collected and used by the gutter, but in conventional inkjet printers, the carriage sends the ink from the ink supply system to the inkjet head 1. This was very complicated as a vinyl or polyethylene vibrator was used to collect the ink from the gutter.

Historically, vinyl vibrators, polyethylene vibrators, etc. had the same characteristics, so they were piped in a large arc, which made the area around the carriage even more cluttered.

Specifically, the present invention includes an ink supply path (communication path) for supplying ink to an inkjet head in a carriage, and a An ink recovery path (communication path) for recovering ink is provided, and an ink manual vibrator and an ink recovery pipe from the ink supply system are jointed to these ink supply paths and ink recovery pipes at the end of the acupuncture carriage. , which eliminates the complexity on the carriage as described above.

側を開放しておいてもよい）。In this way, the pipe for the ink passage is slightly reduced, and the structure on the carriage is simplified. , ma7ko, the gutter is usually attached to the front of the carriage, like a conventional printer (for example,
(Refer to Publication No. 5), if you try to attach the VD ink recovery pipe directly to the gutter, there is not enough space at the front lower part of the key A ridge, so it is difficult to attach the ink recovery pipe to the gutter. However, according to the present invention, the joint portion of the ink recovery pipe is provided at the location ryr of the carriage y114 where it is easy to operate, making the joint of the pipe easier. Furthermore, there are few parts of the pipe that protrude to the outside, so
There is also less risk of ink leaking due to the pipe being cut. Note that at this time, as shown in the figure, ink r+it:
By providing a switching box 13 within the % range, the inkjet head and gutter can be replaced more easily (
However, this valve 13 may be a two-way valve or a three-way valve with one side open).

上述のように構成してもよい。Further, -hβ of the ink supply line II of the ink supply fHII can be increased to serve as an aggregator, thereby eliminating one-mocha fluctuations in the ink introduced from the ink supply system. Historically, vibrations in the advancing force of the carriage vibrate the ink and cause pressure fluctuations, and if the communicating path 11 is lengthened in the direction of carriage movement, the pressure fluctuations become sharper. It is best not to lengthen it in the direction of rotation. In addition, both the ink collection path and the ink recovery path are placed on the carriage.
Although an example having the I11 passage has been shown, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiment, and only one of the I1 and red passages may be configured as described above.
