Abstract
A print ink transport mechanism includes a first ink pipe for transporting a first colored ink, and a second ink pipe for transporting a second colored ink, a rotary module including a first protruding component with a first cavity disposed in a position corresponding to the first ink pipe, and a drive means connected to the rotary module for driving the rotary module. When the drive means drives the rotary module to rotate to a first position, the first protruding component presses the second ink pipe, and the first ink pipe passes through the cavity on the first protruding component, so that the second ink pipe is unable to transport the second colored ink and the first ink pipe is able to transport the first colored ink.
Claims26
A print ink transport mechanism for choosing different colored inks to print comprising:
- an ink tank for storing a first colored ink and a second colored ink;
- an ink reservoir for receiving and storing the first colored ink and the second colored ink transported from the ink tank;
- a first ink pipe;
- a second ink pipe;
- a rotary module comprising a first protruding component with a first cavity formed in a position corresponding to the first ink pipe;
- and
- a drive means connected to the rotary module for driving the rotary module;
- wherein when the drive means rotates the rotary module to a first position, the first protruding component presses the second ink pipe, and the first ink pipe passes through the cavity on the first protruding component, so that the second ink pipe is unable to transport the second colored ink and the first ink pipe is able to transport the first colored ink.
A print ink transport mechanism capable of choosing different colored inks to print comprising:
- an ink tank comprising a first partition and a second partition for storing a first colored ink and a second colored ink respectively;
- an ink reservoir comprising a first reservoir and a second reservoir for receiving and storing the first colored ink and the second colored ink transported from the ink tank respectively;
- a first ink pipe connecting the first partition in the ink tank and the first reservoir in the ink reservoir;
- a second ink pipe connecting the second partition in the ink tank and the second reservoir in the ink reservoir;
- a rotary module comprising a first protruding component with a first cavity formed in a position corresponding to the first ink pipe;
- a drive means connected to the rotary module for driving the rotary module;
- a control device coupled to the drive means for controlling the drive means to drive rotation of the rotary module;
- wherein when the drive means rotates the rotary module to a first position, the first protruding component presses the second ink pipe, and the first ink pipe passes through the cavity on the first protruding component, so that the second ink pipe is unable to transport the second colored ink from the ink tank to the ink reservoir and the first ink pipe is able to transport the first colored ink from the ink tank to the ink reservoir.
