Fig. 2 is the structural schematic diagram of ink feeding system embodiment two provided by the invention, as shown in Fig. 2, implementation shown in Fig. 1
On the basis of example, the ink feeding system further include: return pump 21, second times black valves 22.
Wherein, the third ink outlet port c of secondary print cartridge 13 is connect with the ink entrance for returning pump 21, and the ink outlet port for returning pump 21 is logical
It crosses second time black valve 22 and accesses main black bucket 11.
Controller 17 is also used in ink feeding system initial launch, if the first pressure detection device 131 received detects
It is unsatisfactory for the instruction of initial pressure to the pressure in secondary print cartridge 13, then controls back pump 21 with predetermined power for secondary print cartridge 13
In ink extraction, flowed into main black bucket 11 by second time black valve 33, so that the pressure in secondary print cartridge 13 meets initial pressure
Power.
In general, before ink feeding system initial launch, the quantity of ink stored in secondary print cartridge 13 may be relatively more, accordingly
, gas flow is fewer, thus, the gas pressure in secondary print cartridge 13 is smaller.If in this, as primary condition, before progress
It states the ink supply as described in the examples for each spray head 15 and controls treatment process, proposed more to each constant ink delivery pressure is provided
Therefore difficult challenge simply implements the control of the generation to constant ink delivery pressure each in secondary print cartridge 13, this implementation for convenience
In example, the ink in secondary print cartridge 13 is extracted out a part first, so that secondary print cartridge 13 maintains certain initial pressure level.
Therefore, it is detected by pressure when bringing into operation in 131 pairs of first pressure detection device secondary print cartridges 13,
If the pressure detected is unsatisfactory for initial pressure value, trigger controller 17 is controlled back pump 21 and is operated with certain power,
By the ink extraction in secondary print cartridge 13, meet initial pressure in secondary print cartridge 13 until first pressure detection device 131 detects
Power is horizontal, then controller 17 carries out subsequent ink supply control treatment process in turn.
It is worth noting that returning pump 21 in the subsequent normal course of operation of ink feeding system and second time black valve 22 being in
Open state, to guarantee that the ink in secondary print cartridge 13 is flowed back into time in main black bucket 11.
Further, in the ink feeding system further include: the attached getter assembly being connected between ink feed pump 12 and secondary print cartridge 13.Its
In, it include degasification cavity 31, degassing pump 32, third pressure-detecting device 33, photoelectric detection system 34 in the attached getter assembly.
The controller 17 is also used to remove in the pressure satisfaction that third pressure-detecting device 33 detects in degasification cavity 31
When gas negative pressure, control degassing pump 32 is operated, and the bubble in ink in degasification cavity 31 is filtered out.
Photoelectric detection system 34, for detecting whether degasification cavity 31 overflows ink.
In the present embodiment, attached getter assembly is mainly used for filtering out the bubble flowed into the ink in secondary print cartridge 13.
Bubble may be had by flowing into the ink in degasification cavity 31, the presence of the bubble will lead in degasification cavity 31
Negative pressure level change.In order to reach the degassing effect more understood, a certain ideal subnormal ambient may be set in
Under, degassing processing is carried out, the corresponding pressure of this ideal subnormal ambient is above-mentioned degasification negative pressure.
With being continuously increased for black underwater bubble, the pressure-reduction level in degasification cavity 31 is gradually reduced, when third pressure is examined
When survey device 33 detects that pressure-reduction level is matched with degasification negative pressure, trigger controller 17 controls degassing pump 32 and operates, by ink
In bubble extraction filter out.
In addition, in practical application, probably due to certain reasons, can have a possibility that ink spilling, at this point, passing through setting
Photoelectric detection system 34 detects whether degasification cavity 31 overflows ink, if overflowing, alerts in time.
It further, further include filter assemblies in the ink feeding system, filter assemblies are connect with ink feed pump 12, for filtering out ink
Impurity in water.
It specifically, include: first filter 41 and the second filter 42 in the filter assemblies.
Wherein, first filter 41 is connect with the ink entrance of ink feed pump 12, and the second filter 42 is out of ink with ink feed pump 12
Mouth connection.
Wherein, the pore size filter of first filter 41 is greater than the pore size filter of the second filter 42.That is, the first mistake
Filter 41 is for filtering out biggish impurity particle in ink, and the second filter 42 is for filtering out lesser impurity particle in ink.
Why two different filters are set, and a main cause is filled in 12 supply quantity of ink of guarantee ink feed pump
While foot, timely i.e. secondary 13 ink influx abundance of print cartridge, guarantee to enter free from foreign meter in the ink in secondary print cartridge 13.
Through this embodiment, the ink flow rate that inflow can be effectively ensured, flow out secondary print cartridge, guarantees having for ink supply control
Effect carries out, while guaranteeing without containing bubble, impurity in ink, so that print job is gone on smoothly.
