Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an ink cartridge and an ink jet apparatus usable with the ink cartridge detachably mountable to the ink jet apparatus.
  • Figure 5 illustrates the positional relation of the connection.
  • FIG. 1 is a perspective view of an ink jet recording apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention wherein a cover of the apparatus has been removed.
  • the ink jet recording apparatus comprises a recording head 1 in the form of a chip and a carriage 2 for mounting the recording head 1 thereon and for scanningly moving the recording head along a recording material (a sheet of paper).
  • the carriage 2 is provided, as will be described in detail hereinafter, a supporting member for detachably mounting the recording head 1 and a cover member (chain lines) for protecting a base plate which constitute a part of the recording head 1 and on which a head driver circuit or the like is printed.
  • the rotational driving force of the feed motor 21 is used to rotate the sheet feeding roller 5, the discharging roller 4 and operates the ejection recovery mechanism, more particularly, the movement of the cap 13, the blade 26 and the absorbing member 25 and the pump 24.
  • the rotational driving force of the feed motor 21 mounted on the frame of the main assembly is first transmitted to a transmission and switching gear train 19.
  • the selective switching is effected by movement of an unshown selecting gear operable in association with the scanning movement of the recording head 1, the movement to the home position or the ejection recovery position and the stoppage thereat.
  • the rotations of the gears in the gear train 19 is transmitted to the sheet discharging roller 4 and the sheet feeding roller 5 via an intermediate gear 20. It is also transmitted to the integral cap 13 or the like by way of a cam 16 and also transmitted to the pump 24 via pump gear 22 and a pump cam 23.
  • a position (1) is a limit position for the ink communication
  • a position (3) is a limit position for fixing the cartridge 27, and a position (4) is a cartridge 27 abutment position.
  • a position (2A) is a trailing side limit position (with respect to the cartridge inserting direction) for the electric connection between the contact 306A and 306B through the pattern 346A.
  • a position (2B) is a trailing limit position in which the contact 306A and 306B are away from the pattern 346A, and they are contacted only with the pattern 346B so that the resistance of the pattern 346B is readable.
  • the position (2B) is preferably the same as or in the neighborhood of the position (3), and particularly in the neighborhood of the position (3) where the click 320 is not engaged with the recess 332, and therefore, the cartridge 27 is easily retracted.
  • the cartridge 27 has already been assuredly fixed.
  • the information (ink color or the like) of the cartridge, indicated by the resistance, is read, and the setting operations corresponding to the information are carried out at step S11.
  • Figure 9 is a bottom view of the inserting portion and corresponds to the view taken along lines a in Figure 2.
  • Figure 10 is a sectional view taken along a line vertical to the ink cartridge inserting direction.
  • Figure 10A shows the situation when the ink cartridge 27 is not mounted, and
  • Figure 10B shows the situation when it is mounted.
  • Figure 11 is a sectional view taken along a line parallel with the ink cartridge inserting direction.
  • the stopper 406b rotates in the retracting direction from the cartridge insertion path 33 about the pin 406c against the spring force by the spring 406d, by which the pawl 406a is released from the cover 401, thus permitting opening of the cover 401.
  • the cover 401 is permitted to retract from the cartridge insertion path 33.
  • the cartridge 27 has a projection 405a on a front surface 405 (leading side with respect to the cartridge inserting direction) at a position corresponding to the tapered portion 406b of the stopper 406 upon insertion of the cartridge.
  • the projection 405a When the cartridge 27 is inserted into the inserting path 33, the projection 405a is faced to the tapered portion 406b. Therefore, when the cartridge is in the process of being inserted, the projection 405a enters the gap between the cover 401 and the frame 408 beyond the cover 401 until it contacts the tapered portion 406b of the stopper 406.
  • the projection 405 lowers the tapered portion 406b so as to retract the tapered portion 406b away from the insertion path 33, until the pawl 406a of the stopper 406 is released from the cover 401. Then, the cover 401 is permitted to retract away from the insertion path, thus permitting further insertion of the cartridge 27. Thereafter, the front side 405 of the cartridge 27 abuts directly the cover 406, by which the cover 401 is raised by the cartridge 27.
  • the dimensions of the ink jet cartridge 27 are as follows: 1: 109 mm: 2; 79.6 mm: 3; 25.5 mm: 4: 14 mm: 5; 6 mm: 6; 42.8 mm: 7; 20.8 mm: 8; 12.5 mm: 9; 17.5 mm: 10; 13.4 mm: 11; 7 mm: 12; 6 mm: 13; 12 mm: 14 and 15; 6 mm: 16; 4 mm: 17; 2.5 mm: 18; 10 mm: 19 and 20; 6 mm: 21; 2 mm: 22; 4.5 mm: 23; 3 mm:
  • An inclined surface 500 at each of the left and right top of the cartridge 27 is provided for preventing erroneous insertion.
  • the top 27c ( Figure 3) of the leading side of the cartridge case 27a abuts the limiting plate 32 of the main assembly ( Figures 1, 10A and 10B), so that the loading of the cartridge 27 is prevented.
  • the inclined surface 500 is effective to escape from the limiting plate 32, so that the cartridge 27 is permitted to be further inserted.
  • the configuration at the top end of the cartridge case 27a is not limited to the inclined or tapered surface but may be changed in accordance with the shape of the limiting plate.
  • the present invention is particularly suitably usable in an ink jet recording head and recording apparatus wherein thermal energy by an electrothermal transducer, laser beam or the like is used to cause a change of state of the ink to eject or discharge the ink. This is because the high density of the picture elements and the high resolution of the recording are possible.
  • the present invention is applicable to a serial type recording head wherein the recording head is fixed on the main assembly, to a replaceable chip type recording head which is connected electrically with the main apparatus and can be supplied with the ink when it is mounted in the main assembly, or to a cartridge type recording head having an integral ink container.
  • the provisions of the recovery means and/or the auxiliary means for the preliminary operation are preferable, because they can further stabilize the effects of the present invention.
  • preliminary heating means which may be the electrothermal transducer, an additional heating element or a combination thereof.
  • means for effecting preliminary ejection (not for the recording operation) can stabilize the recording operation.
  • the recording head mountable may be a single corresponding to a single color ink, or may be plural corresponding to the plurality of ink materials having different recording color or density.
  • the present invention is effectively applicable to an apparatus having at least one of a monochromatic mode mainly with black, a multi-color mode with different color ink materials and/or a full-color mode using the mixture of the colors, which may be an integrally formed recording unit or a combination of plural recording heads.
  • the ink is liquefied, and the liquefied ink may be ejected.
  • Another ink material may start to be solidified at the time when it reaches the recording material.
  • the present invention is also applicable to such an ink material as is liquefied by the application of the thermal energy.
  • Such an ink material may be retained as a liquid or solid material in through holes or recesses formed in a porous sheet as disclosed in Japanese Laid-Open Patent Application No. 56847/1979 and Japanese Laid-Open Patent Application No. 71260/1985. The sheet is faced to the electrothermal transducers. The most effective one for the ink materials described above is the film boiling system.
  • the small and simple structure is enough to prevent the erroneous mounting of the ink cartridge and from the contamination with the ink.
