  • Patent number: 10703095
    Abstract: The purpose of the present invention is to provide an inkjet recording device that is capable of minimizing contamination, by floating ink, of the inside and outside of a print head without increasing the volatilization volume of a solvent. In order to attain the purpose, provided is an inkjet recording device having: a nozzle which applies print onto a printing medium by discharging ink; and a print head which houses therein a deflection electrode for deflecting the discharged ink by means of an electrostatic force, the inkjet recording device being provided with an ink suction unit which sucks in floating ink by means of the electrostatic force.

  • Patent number: 10189263
    Abstract: The purpose of the present invention is to provide a replenishment container and an inkjet recording device that are capable of reducing staining by ink or a solvent during ink or solvent replenishing. The replenishment container comprises a storage member having an opening formed therein and having a storage chamber that stores ink or solvent, a stopper member that seals the opening of the storage member, and a lid member that covers the stopper member. The replenishment container is characterized by: comprising a seal member that has a throughhole between the stopper member and the lid member; the lid member having a throughhole that is opened concentrically with the throughhole of the seal member; and the inner diameter of part or all of the throughhole in the seal member being smaller than the inner diameter of the throughhole in the lid member.

  • Patent number: 10081196
    Abstract: A cartridge-type inkjet recording device that can accurately and easily connect a cartridge-type replenishing liquid bottle to an inkjet recording device is presented herein. This cartridge-type inkjet recording device includes a liquid reservoir to which a replenishing liquid bottle can be attached or removed. The liquid reservoir has a liquid replenishment opening for replenishing liquid from the cartridge-type replenishing liquid bottle. The liquid reservoir also has a cam that is provided to the periphery of the liquid replenishment opening, engages a portion of the cartridge-type replenishing liquid bottle, and moves the cartridge-type replenishing liquid bottle in the vertical direction, and a cam operation section that operates the cam.

  • Patent number: 9849687
    Abstract: This invention is intended to provide a ink-jet printing device which can detect leak of ink or solvent without the exclusive sensor for leak detection and without increasing cost. An ink jet printing device for printing letter by ejecting ink, comprising, a liquid container for containing ink or solvent, a surface level sensor for detecting surface level arranged on the liquid container, a control unit and a display unit, wherein the display unit displays indication in the case where the surface level change time detected by the control unit using the surface level sensor is larger than the settled surface level change time in settled printing condition is provided for solving the problem.
