Abstract

The utility model discloses an ink box with an ink dosage showing device for the purpose of providing an ink box with an ink dosage showing device that has a simple structure and can show direct and correct ink dosage. The ink box comprises an ink storing container used for storing ink and with a placket, and a lid used for covering the placket of the ink storing container. An ink outlet exit is arranged on the bottom of the ink storing container and an upright column that stretches to the ink storing container bottom is arranged on the lid underside. The upright column end face faces the inner bottom surface of the ink storing container. The position of the end face corresponds to the ink dosage examining sensor probe. A light reflection face is arranged on the end face, which is 1-12mm away from the inner bottom surface of the ink storing container. When ink in the ink storing container is used up, no ink separation is available between the light reflection face and the ink dosage examining sensor probe of the printer. Light reflected from the light reflection face will go through the bottom of the storing container and give signals to the ink dosage examining sensor probe of the printer. Hint for ink being used up is offered by the printer and users can take measures.

Description

The band ink print cartridge of quantity display apparatus

Technical field

The utility model relates to the print cartridge that ink-jet printer is used, and relates in particular to a kind of with the print cartridge of ink with quantity display apparatus.

Background technology

The ink-jet printer of Chu Xianing in the market, in printing, for the ink of indicating the ink storage container that storage ink uses to the user uses up, often on print cartridge, be shaped on or be equipped with leg-of-mutton optically focused piece, play the effect of prism, below print cartridge optically focused piece is installed, ink is housed on the printer and pops one's head in quantity detection sensor.When the ink in the print cartridge uses up, the optically focused piece exposes the ink face, shone by light, the light that the optically focused piece is come irradiation is concentrated and is reflexed to ink and pop one's head in quantity detection sensor, give the ink quantity detection sensor probe signal of printer, printer provides the prompting that ink uses up in time, so that the user takes measures.But the material light transmission of such structural requirement manufacturing print cartridge is good, cost is high, the mould manufacturing and the complex process of print cartridge, and also in actual use, spotlight effect is bad under the more weak condition of extraneous light, produces the prompting mistake.

The utility model content

The utility model provides the print cartridge of a kind of simple in structure, band ink that metering is directly correct with quantity display apparatus.

In order to achieve the above object, the utility model is achieved through the following technical solutions: comprise that the band opening is used for storage ink ink storage container of using and the lid that covers the ink storage container opening, bottom at ink storage container is shaped on ink outlet port, it is characterized in that being shaped on the column that reaches the ink storage container bottom in the bottom surface of lid, the end face of column is towards the inner bottom surface of ink storage container, endface position is corresponding with the quantity detection sensor probe with the ink of printer, be provided with reflective surface at end face, reflective surface is apart from the inner bottom surface 1-12 millimeter of ink storage container.

Use the print cartridge of quantity display apparatus according to the band ink of such scheme manufacturing, when the ink in the ink storage container uses up, the ink of reflective surface and printer is with not having ink to isolate between the quantity detection sensor probe, the reflective bottom that passes reservoir vessel on the reflective surface, give the ink quantity detection sensor probe signal of printer, printer provides the prompting that ink uses up in time, so that the user takes measures.This scheme is than big with leg-of-mutton optically focused piece intensity of light reflection, simple in structure, easily manufactured, dependable performance.
