Description
本案係關於一種連續供墨系統，尤指一種透過內壓平衡原理，以達結構簡化、可供使用者簡便更換補充瓶之連續供墨系統。 The present invention relates to a continuous ink supply system, and more particularly to a continuous ink supply system that can be easily replaced by a user through a principle of internal pressure balance to simplify the structure.
一般而言，噴墨印表機由於具有操作容易且可列印於多種噴墨媒體等優點，廣受消費大眾歡迎，但噴墨印表機使用一段時日後，便會因墨水匣之墨水耗盡而須更換墨水匣，目前常見之更換方法係丟棄舊有之墨水匣再安裝全新之墨水匣以提供墨水，此舉不但造成墨水匣體的浪費，且因墨水匣之價格昂貴而無形地增加了使用者的開銷。為了節省列印成本、避免資源浪費以及符合環保趨勢，重複使用同一個墨水匣的連續供墨系統便因應而生。 In general, inkjet printers are popular among consumers because of their ease of operation and can be printed on a variety of inkjet media. However, inkjet printers use ink cartridges for a period of time. When you need to change the ink cartridges, the common replacement method is to discard the old ink and install a new ink to provide ink. This not only causes waste of the ink cartridge, but also invisibly increases due to the high price of ink cartridges. The user's overhead. In order to save printing costs, avoid waste of resources, and comply with environmental trends, the continuous use of the same ink cartridge continuous ink supply system has been born.
習知的連續供墨系統主要利用幫浦或是虹吸的方式來進行連續供墨，以虹吸為例，其主要為將墨水由外墨盒透過供墨管之引導，而輸送至安裝於印表機內的墨水匣中，主要原理是利用印表機的墨水匣在列印中向噴墨頭源源不斷輸送墨水的同時，墨水匣也從外墨盒吸入同等容量的墨水以補充平衡，即墨水匣輸送到噴墨頭多少墨水就即時補充多少墨水進入。 The conventional continuous ink supply system mainly uses a pump or a siphon to continuously supply ink. Taking siphon as an example, the main purpose is to guide the ink from the outer ink cartridge through the ink supply tube to the printer. In the ink cartridge, the main principle is to use the ink cartridge of the printer to continuously deliver ink to the inkjet head source during printing. At the same time, the ink cartridge also draws the same amount of ink from the outer cartridge to supplement the balance, that is, the ink cartridge conveyance. How much ink is added to the inkjet head as soon as it is added.
然此習知虹吸式的連續供墨方法的缺點在於：當外墨盒內部所儲存的墨水使用完畢時，必須要藉由拆裝墨水匣或是拆裝外墨盒與墨水匣之間的供墨管來更換供墨匣，於更換的過程中會導致管線連接處因拆換導致密封問題，而使內部管部與原先供墨時之負壓會有所差異，使得習知連續供墨系統會因墨水匣被多次拆裝管線壓差造成負壓逐漸消失而發生漏墨的情況，進而導致列印品質異常。 However, the conventional siphon-type continuous ink supply method has the disadvantage that when the ink stored in the outer ink cartridge is used up, it is necessary to disassemble the ink cartridge or disassemble the ink supply tube between the outer ink cartridge and the ink cartridge. To replace the ink supply cartridge, the replacement of the pipeline will lead to sealing problems caused by the replacement of the pipeline, and the negative pressure of the inner tube and the original ink supply will be different, so that the conventional continuous ink supply system will be When the ink cartridge is repeatedly removed and installed, the pressure difference causes the negative pressure to gradually disappear and the ink leaks, which leads to abnormal printing quality.
至於另一種採用幫浦方式的連續供墨系統，其主要以幫浦加壓的方式將墨水由外墨盒抽吸至墨水匣中，雖然可達到導墨的功效，但是除了幫浦的售價較昂貴以外，必須再另外搭配其他的裝置來控制幫浦運作，將增加製造成本。此外，當使用時幫浦式連續供墨系統時必須以電力驅使幫浦作動，因此使得其成本費用亦相對提昇，而幫浦抽吸亦難及於外墨盒之角落，故外墨盒的角落處易留有殘墨，間接造成墨水的浪費。此外，由於幫浦結構較為複雜，因此必須定時清潔、維修及保養。再者，一但幫浦發生故障，由於其維修較為耗時，將使得連續供墨系統於維修期間無法正常供墨，進而影響噴墨印表機的運作及其列印品質。故此習知採用幫浦方式的連續供墨系統不僅繁複的操作控制方式以及高成本的設置成本，同時其更需耗費較大的空間設置，亦具有體積龐大等缺失。 As for another continuous ink supply system using a pumping method, the ink is mainly sucked by the pump from the outer ink cartridge into the ink cartridge, although the effect of the ink guiding can be achieved, but the price of the pump is higher than that of the pump. In addition to being expensive, it is necessary to additionally use other devices to control the operation of the pump, which will increase the manufacturing cost. In addition, when the pump-type continuous ink supply system is used, the pump must be driven by electric power, so that the cost is relatively increased, and the pump suction is also difficult to be in the corner of the outer ink cartridge, so the corner of the outer ink cartridge It is easy to leave residual ink, which indirectly causes waste of ink. In addition, due to the complex structure of the pump, it is necessary to regularly clean, repair and maintain. Moreover, once the pump fails, it is time-consuming to repair, which will make the continuous ink supply system unable to supply ink normally during the maintenance period, thus affecting the operation of the inkjet printer and its printing quality. Therefore, it is known that the continuous ink supply system using the pump method not only has complicated operation control methods and high cost installation costs, but also requires a large space setting, and also has a large volume and the like.
為了改善前述虹吸式及幫浦式連續供墨系統之缺失，且減小連續供墨系統的體積及製造成本，我國專利第TW I358361之連續供液系統提供了一種連接裝置的組成結構，暨其與墨水匣本體之組合關係。如第1圖所示，連續供墨系統主要由墨水匣本體1、連接結構2及墨水補充匣3所構成，其中連接結構2即用於連接墨水補充匣3及墨水匣本體1，且連接結構2係由連接座21、筒座22及固定座23等多個元件所構成，其中固定座23是用來將筒座22固定在墨水匣本體1的元件，該固定座23具有一環圈231，該環圈231內徑是大於或等於該筒座22的外徑，小於該筒座22底部之外凸緣222的外徑。該環圈231的內圓壁具有一槽口2311，而該筒座22的垂直側壁則具有一突柱223，該突柱223與外凸緣222之間具有一間隙，此間隙略大於該環圈231的厚度。另外該環圈231的下方另形成有內緣溝232。當連接結構2組裝時，先將筒座22套置於連接座21之筒體211外圍後，再將該固定座23由上而下放置，此時筒座22之突柱223則對應通過固定座23之槽口2311，最後使得該環圈231套於筒座22之外凸緣222的外圍，並使筒座22之外凸緣222被限制於固定座23之內緣溝232內，再透過固定元件將固定座23固定於墨水匣本體1上，如此以組構成一設置在墨水匣本體1上的連接裝置2。惟於此習知技藝中，筒座22及固定座23相互配合固定元件，不僅設計上過於複雜， 且當筒座22與固定座23組接之後，筒座22之位置雖被限制，但其並未被完全固定，仍在特定角度範圍內轉動，此外，固定座23仍要利用固定元件固定於墨水匣本體1上，組裝操作上較不簡便之外，當此習知技藝在取放外部的墨水補充匣3時，需採用雙手小心取放及進行繁瑣之固定程序，否則在抽拔時很容易讓餘墨飛濺髒汙雙手及衣物，極為不便。 In order to improve the lack of the aforementioned siphon and pump type continuous ink supply system, and to reduce the volume and manufacturing cost of the continuous ink supply system, the continuous liquid supply system of the Chinese Patent No. TW I358361 provides a structure of a connecting device, and The combination relationship with the ink cartridge body. As shown in FIG. 1 , the continuous ink supply system is mainly composed of an ink cartridge body 1 , a connection structure 2 and an ink refilling crucible 3 , wherein the connection structure 2 is used for connecting the ink refilling crucible 3 and the ink cartridge body 1 , and the connection structure 2 is composed of a plurality of components such as a connecting seat 21, a base 22 and a fixing base 23, wherein the fixing base 23 is an element for fixing the base 22 to the ink cartridge body 1, and the fixing base 23 has a ring 231. The inner diameter of the ring 231 is greater than or equal to the outer diameter of the base 22 and is smaller than the outer diameter of the flange 222 outside the bottom of the base 22. The inner wall of the ring 231 has a notch 2311, and the vertical side wall of the base 22 has a stud 223. The stud 223 has a gap with the outer flange 222. The gap is slightly larger than the ring. The thickness of the circle 231. Further, an inner edge groove 232 is formed below the ring 231. When the connecting structure 2 is assembled, the sleeve 22 is first placed on the outer periphery of the barrel 211 of the connecting seat 21, and then the fixing seat 23 is placed from top to bottom. At this time, the protruding column 223 of the base 22 is correspondingly fixed. The notch 2311 of the seat 23 finally causes the ring 231 to fit around the outer periphery of the flange 222 outside the sleeve 22, and the outer flange 222 of the sleeve 22 is restricted to the inner edge groove 232 of the fixing seat 23, and then The fixing base 23 is fixed to the ink cartridge body 1 through a fixing member, and thus the connecting device 2 provided on the ink cartridge body 1 is formed in a group. However, in this prior art, the base 22 and the fixed seat 23 cooperate with each other to fix the components, which is not only too complicated in design. And after the sleeve 22 is assembled with the fixing seat 23, the position of the sleeve 22 is limited, but it is not completely fixed, and is still rotated within a certain angle range. In addition, the fixing seat 23 is still fixed by the fixing member. In the ink cartridge body 1, the assembly operation is relatively inconvenient. When the conventional art is used to pick up and place the external ink to replenish the crucible 3, it is necessary to use both hands to carefully pick and place and perform a cumbersome fixing procedure, otherwise, during the drawing, It is very easy to make the residual ink splash dirty hands and clothing, which is extremely inconvenient.

請參閱第5圖，其為第4圖所示之連續供墨系統之剖面結構示意圖。如前所 述，當連接裝置7將墨水補充匣6與墨水匣5連接固定時，其係可各組件一一進行組接固定，亦可直接透過旋轉連接裝置7之卡扣座71，以使卡扣座71之筒狀本體710之內凸緣711對應扣接於墨水補充匣6之匣嘴部60之凸塊61之上、並同時使卡扣座71之筒狀本體710之外凸緣712旋轉嵌合至連接座72之基板722之扣掣凸耳槽725中，以同時將墨水補充匣6與卡扣座71、連接座72進行組接固定；此後，再將連接座72鎖固於墨水匣5之上，即可如第5圖所示，此時連接座72之中心管柱721即設置於墨水補充匣6中，且連接座72之液氣界面管723則對應設置於墨水匣5之腔室51中。於本實施例中，墨水匣5除了具有腔室51、上方的注入口50之外，於墨水匣5的側邊或其他適當位置更設置一輸出口(未圖示)，用以墨水匣5安裝於列印機(未圖示)或其他噴墨設備之噴墨系統(未圖示)之用，且於一些實施例中，墨水匣5之腔室51內更具有過濾裝置52，該過濾裝置52係可為但不限為設置於墨水匣5之腔室51之底部，供以過濾墨水雜質，同時亦可以作為調節腔室51之內部壓力之用，此外，於另一些實施例中，該過濾裝置甚至於可外接-管路(未圖示)，以連通至一收集槽(未圖示)，以將過濾後之墨水雜質容收於其中。 Please refer to Fig. 5, which is a schematic cross-sectional view of the continuous ink supply system shown in Fig. 4. As before When the connecting device 7 connects the ink refilling cartridge 6 to the ink cartridge 5, the components can be assembled and fixed one by one, or directly through the latching seat 71 of the rotary connecting device 7 to make the latching seat The inner flange 711 of the cylindrical body 710 of the sleeve 71 is correspondingly fastened to the protrusion 61 of the mouth portion 60 of the ink refilling sleeve 6 and simultaneously rotates the outer flange 712 of the cylindrical body 710 of the snap seat 71. And the buckle rib 725 of the base plate 722 of the connecting base 72 is coupled to fix the ink refilling cymbal 6 to the latching seat 71 and the connecting base 72 at the same time; thereafter, the connecting base 72 is locked to the ink cartridge. 5, as shown in FIG. 5, at this time, the central column 721 of the connecting seat 72 is disposed in the ink replenishing port 6, and the liquid-gas interface pipe 723 of the connecting seat 72 is correspondingly disposed on the ink cartridge 5. In the chamber 51. In this embodiment, in addition to the chamber 51 and the upper injection port 50, the ink cartridge 5 is further provided with an output port (not shown) at the side of the ink cartridge 5 or other suitable position for the ink cartridge 5 Mounted in a printing machine (not shown) or other inkjet system (not shown), and in some embodiments, the chamber 51 of the ink cartridge 5 further has a filtering device 52, the filtering The device 52 can be, but is not limited to, disposed at the bottom of the chamber 51 of the ink cartridge 5 for filtering ink impurities, and can also serve as an internal pressure for adjusting the chamber 51. Further, in other embodiments, The filter device may even be externally connected to a conduit (not shown) for communication to a collection tank (not shown) to accommodate the filtered ink impurities therein.
又於本實施例中，如第5圖所示，連續供墨系統4更包括注墨管728，其係套接於連接座72之中心管柱721之墨水流道727之出口727b(如第3圖所示)處，並延伸設置於墨水匣5之腔室51內，以使注墨管728之末端低於液氣界面管723之開口723a，俾可導引墨水自墨水補充匣6自中心管柱721之墨水流道727之入口727a流入，再由墨水流道727下方之注墨管728注入墨水匣5之腔室51中。 In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 5, the continuous ink supply system 4 further includes an ink filling tube 728 which is sleeved at the outlet 727b of the ink flow path 727 of the central column 721 of the connecting base 72 (eg, 3 is shown, and extends in the chamber 51 of the ink cartridge 5, so that the end of the ink-filling tube 728 is lower than the opening 723a of the liquid-gas interface tube 723, and the ink can be guided from the ink refilling unit 6 The inlet 727a of the ink flow path 727 of the center column 721 flows in, and is injected into the chamber 51 of the ink cartridge 5 by the ink filling tube 728 below the ink flow path 727.
請同時參閱第6A圖及第6B圖，第6A圖為第5圖所示之墨水匣之墨水高度低於液氣界面管之示意圖，第6B圖為第5圖所示之墨水匣之墨水高度齊平於液氣界面管之示意圖。如第6A圖所示，當墨水匣5之腔室51內的墨水量已被使用到其液面下降至液氣界面管723的開口723a以下，即其墨水高度h低於連接座72之液氣界面管723時，此時，將墨水補充匣6與連接裝置7連接設置，則墨水補充匣6內之墨水會因應重力而持續地由連接座72之中心管柱721之墨水流道727之入口727a流入，並透過墨 水流道727及與之連接的注墨管728以注入墨水匣5之腔室51內，同時，墨水匣5之腔室51內的空氣亦會由中心管柱721之空氣流道726之入口726a輸入，並由出口726b輸出至墨水補充匣6中，如此以進行壓力調節，並藉由此循環對流而能順利地、且持續地讓墨水補充匣6中的墨水注入至墨水匣5中，直到墨水匣5之腔室51內的墨水液面已上昇到接觸該液氣界面管723之開口723a(如第6B圖所示)，此時，腔室51內的墨水高度h已齊平於液氣界面管723之開口723a，並將該開口723a封閉，故墨水匣5之腔室51內部的空氣無法再由空氣流道726輸入至墨水補充匣6中而停止對流，為因應壓力平衡，該墨水補充匣6自動停止使墨水注入墨水匣5之腔室51之動作。換言之，墨水匣5之腔室51內的墨水只要被使用了少量，即會因為液面下降而讓墨水補充匣6自動補充注入墨水。且當使用者發現墨水補充匣6的墨水用盡而將其卸下補充新墨水時，由於墨水匣5內仍保留有部分墨水，故足以供給印列之用，不虞在補充更換墨水補充匣6時造成列印工作中斷的情形。 Please refer to FIG. 6A and FIG. 6B at the same time. FIG. 6A is a schematic diagram of the ink level of the ink cartridge shown in FIG. 5 is lower than that of the liquid-gas interface tube, and FIG. 6B is the ink height of the ink cartridge shown in FIG. A schematic diagram of the flushing of the liquid-gas interface tube. As shown in FIG. 6A, when the amount of ink in the chamber 51 of the ink cartridge 5 has been used until the liquid level thereof falls below the opening 723a of the liquid-gas interface tube 723, that is, the ink height h is lower than the liquid of the connection seat 72. At the time of the gas interface tube 723, at this time, the ink refilling port 6 is connected to the connecting device 7, and the ink in the ink replenishing port 6 is continuously passed by the ink flow path 727 of the center column 721 of the connecting seat 72 in response to gravity. The inlet 727a flows in and passes through the ink The water flow path 727 and the ink injecting tube 728 connected thereto are injected into the chamber 51 of the ink cartridge 5, and at the same time, the air in the chamber 51 of the ink cartridge 5 is also introduced from the inlet 726a of the air flow path 726 of the central tubular string 721. The input is outputted from the outlet 726b to the ink replenishing cartridge 6, so as to perform pressure adjustment, and by this convection convection, the ink in the ink refilling crucible 6 can be smoothly and continuously injected into the ink cartridge 5 until The ink level in the chamber 51 of the ink cartridge 5 has risen to the opening 723a contacting the liquid-gas interface tube 723 (as shown in Fig. 6B). At this time, the ink height h in the chamber 51 is flush with the liquid. The opening 723a of the gas interface tube 723 closes the opening 723a, so that the air inside the chamber 51 of the ink cartridge 5 can no longer be input into the ink replenishing crucible 6 by the air flow passage 726 to stop the convection, in order to cope with the pressure balance, The ink refill 匣 6 automatically stops the action of injecting ink into the chamber 51 of the ink cartridge 5. In other words, as long as the ink in the chamber 51 of the ink cartridge 5 is used in a small amount, the ink replenishment 匣 6 is automatically replenished and injected into the ink because the liquid level is lowered. When the user finds that the ink of the ink refilling cartridge 6 is used up and unloads it to replenish the new ink, since a part of the ink remains in the ink cartridge 5, it is sufficient for the printing to be used, and the replacement ink refilling is not required. When the printing job is interrupted.
請參閱第7圖，其為本案第二較佳實施例之連續供墨系統之剖面結構示意圖。如圖所示，本案之連續供墨系統8同樣由墨水匣5、連接裝置9及墨水補充匣6相互組接而成，其中墨水匣5及墨水補充匣之結構及設置方式係與前述實施例相同，故不再贅述之。 Please refer to FIG. 7, which is a schematic cross-sectional view of a continuous ink supply system according to a second preferred embodiment of the present invention. As shown in the figure, the continuous ink supply system 8 of the present invention is also formed by the ink cartridge 5, the connecting device 9 and the ink replenishing cartridge 6 being combined with each other. The structure and arrangement of the ink cartridge 5 and the ink refilling cartridge are the same as the foregoing embodiment. The same, so no longer elaborate.
連接設置9同樣由連接座92及卡扣座91組接而成，且連接座92同樣具有對接筒體920、基板922、液氣界面管923及中心管柱921，且基板922上具有扣掣凸耳槽925、扣掣凸耳槽925之末端具有擋塊924，以及中心管柱921具有墨水流道927及空氣流道926，卡扣座91亦同樣具有筒座本體910、內凸緣911、外凸緣912、定位擋柱913等結構，於本實施例中，連接座92及卡扣座91之結構及組接方式大致均與前述實施例相同，故不再贅述之。惟於本實施例中，連接座92之中心管柱921之墨水流道927係為一向下延長之管狀結構，且其末端係延伸凸出於連接座92之液氣界面管923之下。換言之，該墨水流道927之末端係低於液氣界面管923之開口923a之下，並設置於墨水匣5之腔室51內，故其無須如前述實施例額外設置一注墨管728。 The connection arrangement 9 is also formed by the connection seat 92 and the buckle seat 91. The connection seat 92 also has a docking cylinder 920, a substrate 922, a liquid-gas interface tube 923 and a central column 921, and the substrate 922 has a buckle. The end of the lug groove 925 and the buckle lug groove 925 has a stopper 924, and the central column 921 has an ink flow path 927 and an air flow path 926. The buckle seat 91 also has a socket body 910 and an inner flange 911. In the present embodiment, the structure and the assembly manner of the connecting seat 92 and the latching seat 91 are substantially the same as those of the foregoing embodiment, and therefore will not be described again. In the present embodiment, the ink flow path 927 of the central column 921 of the connector 92 is a downwardly elongated tubular structure, and its end portion extends beyond the liquid-gas interface tube 923 of the connection seat 92. In other words, the end of the ink flow path 927 is below the opening 923a of the liquid-gas interface tube 923 and is disposed in the chamber 51 of the ink cartridge 5, so that it is not necessary to additionally provide an ink-filling tube 728 as in the foregoing embodiment.
請同時參閱第8A圖及第8B圖，第8A圖為第7圖所示之墨水匣之墨水高度低於液氣界面管之示意圖，第8B圖為第7圖所示之墨水匣之墨水高度齊平於液氣界面管之示意圖。如第8A圖所示，當墨水匣5之腔室51內的墨水高度h低於連接座92之液氣界面管923時，此時，墨水補充匣6內之墨水會因應重力而持續地由連接座92之中心管柱921之墨水流道927注入墨水匣5之腔室51內，同時，墨水匣5之腔室51內的空氣亦會由中心管柱921之空氣流道926輸入至墨水補充匣6中，如此以進行壓力調節，並藉由此循環對流而能順利地、且持續地讓墨水補充匣6中的墨水注入至墨水匣5中，直到墨水匣5之腔室51內的墨水高度h已齊平於液氣界面管923之開口923a(如第6B圖所示)，並將該開口923a封閉，故墨水匣5之腔室51內部的空氣無法再由空氣流道926輸入至墨水補充匣6中而停止對流，為因應壓力平衡，該墨水補充匣6自動停止使墨水注入墨水匣5之腔室51之動作。藉此，足見本實施例之連續供墨係統8係可藉由連接裝置9之中心管柱921以自動控制氣流，俾可使墨水持續不斷地注入墨水匣5內，並在墨水液面到達一特定高度時(即為齊平於液氣界面管923之開口923a時)自動停止注入墨水，液面低於該特定高度時則自動補充注入墨水，藉以達到結構簡單、組裝容易，且可透過自動控制氣流之壓力調節以達連續供墨之目的。 Please refer to FIG. 8A and FIG. 8B at the same time. FIG. 8A is a schematic diagram of the ink level of the ink cartridge shown in FIG. 7 is lower than that of the liquid-gas interface tube, and FIG. 8B is the ink height of the ink cartridge shown in FIG. A schematic diagram of the flushing of the liquid-gas interface tube. As shown in FIG. 8A, when the ink height h in the chamber 51 of the ink cartridge 5 is lower than the liquid-gas interface tube 923 of the connection seat 92, at this time, the ink in the ink supply cassette 6 is continuously pressed by the gravity. The ink flow path 927 of the center column 921 of the connector 92 is injected into the chamber 51 of the ink cartridge 5, and the air in the chamber 51 of the ink cartridge 5 is also input to the ink by the air flow path 926 of the center cylinder 921. In the supplementary crucible 6, the pressure is adjusted, and by this convection, the ink in the ink refilling crucible 6 can be smoothly and continuously injected into the ink cartridge 5 until the chamber 51 of the ink cartridge 5 The ink height h is flush with the opening 923a of the liquid-gas interface tube 923 (as shown in Fig. 6B), and the opening 923a is closed, so that the air inside the chamber 51 of the ink cartridge 5 can no longer be input by the air flow path 926. The convection is stopped by the ink replenishment 匣6, and the ink refill 匣6 automatically stops the operation of injecting ink into the chamber 51 of the ink cartridge 5 in response to the pressure balance. Therefore, it can be seen that the continuous ink supply system 8 of the embodiment can automatically control the air flow by the central column 921 of the connecting device 9, so that the ink can be continuously injected into the ink cartridge 5 and reach the ink level. At a certain height (ie, when flushing with the opening 923a of the liquid-gas interface tube 923), the ink is automatically stopped, and when the liquid level is lower than the specific height, the ink is automatically replenished, thereby achieving a simple structure, easy assembly, and automatic transmission. Control the pressure of the airflow for continuous ink supply.
綜上所述，本案係提供一種連續供墨系統，其包括墨水匣、連接裝置及墨水補充匣，透過連接裝置中結構簡單之連接座及卡扣座、及其上對應設置之內凸緣、外凸緣、扣掣凸耳槽等旋轉卡接結構，供使用者僅須透過簡單旋轉卡扣座，即可輕鬆地將墨水補充匣與連接裝置進行扣合，甚至於單手即可操作此旋轉扣合作業，是以與習知技藝相較，本案之連續供墨系統的連接裝置不需要額外設置固定座即可將連接裝置與墨水補充匣、墨水匣進行固定，不僅可有效節省成本，同時更減少設置及鎖固固定座的程序，使得操作更為簡便。是以，本案之連續供墨系統實可供使用者便利地、輕鬆地將墨水補充匣設置於墨水匣上，並透過重力及壓力平衡之原理使墨水可持續地注入墨水匣，直至特定高度而停止，以達可自動地進行連續供墨作業、且組裝程序簡便、操作便利、成本低兼之功效。 In summary, the present invention provides a continuous ink supply system comprising an ink cartridge, a connecting device and an ink refilling device, through a connector and a snap seat having a simple structure in the connecting device, and a correspondingly disposed inner flange, A rotating snap-fit structure such as an outer flange or a buckled lug groove allows the user to easily reattach the ink to the connecting device by simply rotating the snap seat, even with one hand The rotary buckle cooperation industry is based on the conventional art. The connection device of the continuous ink supply system of the present invention can fix the connection device with the ink refilling ink and the ink cartridge without additionally providing a fixing seat, thereby not only saving cost, but also saving cost. At the same time, the program for setting and locking the fixing seat is further reduced, which makes the operation easier. Therefore, the continuous ink supply system of the present invention allows the user to conveniently and easily refill the ink on the ink cartridge, and continuously inject the ink into the ink cartridge through the principle of gravity and pressure balance until a certain height. Stop, in order to automatically carry out continuous ink supply, and the assembly process is simple, the operation is convenient, and the cost is low.
