Then, it is carried to the discharge chamber 40 with a directional force, and is eventually sent out to the discharge chamber 40. For this reason, the suction chamber 39 is in a low pressure state. As a result, the ink in the cap member 12 flows into the suction chamber 39 via the tube 13 in order to eliminate the low pressure state of the suction chamber 39. At this time, the suction chamber 39 has a lower pressure than the discharge chamber 40.

Accordingly, the area force S of the portion of the driving gear 26 and the driven gear 27 sliding with respect to the cover 32 and the nozing 21 is reduced, and as a result, the load when rotating the driving gear 26 and the driven gear 27 is reduced. Is done.
- the annular projections 33, 34, 36, 37 of the drive gear 26 and the driven gear 27 are formed substantially at the center of the drive gear 26 and the driven gear 27. That is, since the distance from the rotation axis of the driving gear 26 and the driven gear 27 to each of the annular projections 33, 34, 36, 37 is relatively small, the generated viscous load torque can be reduced.
- the cover pressing spring 53 that urges the cover 32 toward the nozing 21 is attached to the upper surface 32 a of the cover 32.
- the seal member 48 press-fitted into the lower surface 32b of the cover 32 is provided with a spring member 50 for urging the cover 32 in a direction opposite to the direction of the nozing 21. Since the cover 32 is pressed toward the housing 21 by the combined force of the cover pressing spring 53 and the biasing force of the panel member 50, the drive gear 26 and the driven gear 27 (more specifically, the annular projections 33, 34, 36, 37) are not pressed too much against the cover 32 and the housing 21. Therefore, the frictional force generated between the drive gear 26 and the driven gear 27, and the cover 32, and the housing 21 can be reduced. Further, even if the packing deteriorates due to long-term use, the urging force is applied by the panel member 50, so that the sealing property of the storage chamber 23 can be maintained for a long time.
- the spring member 50 functioning as the second urging member provided on the seal member 48 has a shape in which a large number of substantially L-shaped panel portions 50a are provided inside the annular portion 50b.
- a compression panel, an elastic member that also has an elastomeric force, or the like may be used as the second urging member instead of the panel member 50.
- the first washer 51 and the second washer 52 were provided on the seal member 48. However, when the urging force of the panel member 50 is uniformly applied to the cover 32 and the nozzle 21, The first washer 51 and the second washer 52 may be omitted.
- the panel portion 54 provided on the cover pressing spring 53 is the first urging portion.
- Compression panel or the like pressing the cover 32 that functions as a material may function as the first urging member instead of the panel portion 54.
- annular projections 33, 34, 36, 37 provided on the drive gear 26 and the driven gear 27 so as to surround the shaft holes 35, 38 come into contact with the housing 21 or the cover 32.
- an annular protrusion 60 provided a predetermined distance outside the shaft hole 61, not just outside the shaft hole 61, as shown in FIG. Is also good.
- a plurality of protrusions 62 provided around the shaft hole 61 at predetermined angular intervals may function as protrusions.
- a plurality of ridges 63 extending radially around the shaft hole 61 may function as protrusions. The point is that the portion sliding on the housing 21 or the cover 32 is small and the viscous load may be reduced. In order to reduce the frictional load, it is preferable that the distance to the rotation axis force projection of the gear be as small as possible.
- a so-called off-carriage type printer 1 in which the ink cartridge 10 is not mounted on the carriage 5 a printer having a gear pump 20 shown in FIG.
- the gear pump 20 may be mounted on the vehicle. Further, the gear pump 20 may be mounted on a device other than the liquid ejecting device.
- the present invention may be applied to a liquid ejecting apparatus other than the printer 1.
- the present invention may be embodied in a printing apparatus including a fattus, a copier, or the like, or may be embodied in a liquid ejecting apparatus that ejects a liquid (fluid) other than ink.
- Liquid ejecting devices that eject liquids other than ink are used for manufacturing liquid crystal displays, EL displays, and surface-emitting displays. It may be a liquid ejecting device for ejecting biological organic matter or a sample ejecting device as a precision pipette.
