Abstract

The ink cartridge (10), for an ink jet printer, has a housing with an electrical contact (20) at least at one end wall (12). A memory or circuit board (21) has specific cartridge and/or printer data. The circuit board is wider than its supporting section (12') of the end wall.

Description

Translated fromGerman

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft eine Tintenpatrone, die in einen Tintenstrahldrucker bzw. eine diesem zugeordnete Patronenaufnahme einsetzbar ist, gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruches 1. Dabei sei erwähnt, daß die Patronenaufnahme in der Regel Teil eines innerhalb des Druckers hin- und herbeweglich gelagerten Schlittens ist.The present invention relates to an ink cartridge which can be used in an ink jet printer or a cartridge receptacle associated therewith, according to the preamble ofclaim 1. It should be mentioned that the cartridge receptacle is usually part of a slide mounted reciprocably within the printer.

Derartige Tintenpatronen sind allgemein bekannt, wobei nur beispielhaft auf dieEP 1 247 651 B1 hingewiesen wird. Dabei zeichnen sich diese bekannten Tintenpatronen dadurch aus, daß die elektrische Kontakte sowie einen Speicher patronen- und/oder druckerspezifischer Daten umfassende Platine fest mit dem Gehäuse der Tintenpatrone verbunden ist. Dentsprechend paßgenau müssen Tintenpatrone und Platine gefertigt werden, um ein zwängungsfreies Einsetzen der Tintenpatrone in die Patronenaufnahme zu gewährleisten. Die elektrischen Kontakte sowohl auf der Platine als auch an der der Platine zugewandten Begrenzungswand der Patronenaufnahme sind nicht nur quer, sondern auch in Patronen-Einsetzrichtung versetzt zueinander angeordnet, so daß bei unsachgemäßem Einsetzen der Tintenpatrone in die zugeordnete Aufnahme falsche elektrische Verbindungen entstehen können, insbesondere in Richtung parallel zur Einsetzrichtung.Such ink cartridges are well known, with only the example of theEP 1 247 651 B1 is pointed out. These known ink cartridges are characterized in that the electrical contacts and a memory cartridge and / or printer-specific data comprehensive board is firmly connected to the housing of the ink cartridge. In accordance with the exact fit ink cartridge and board must be made to ensure a zwängungsfreies inserting the ink cartridge in the cartridge holder. The electrical contacts both on the board and on the board facing boundary wall of the cartridge receptacle are not only transversely, but offset in cartridge insertion direction to each other, so that improper insertion of the ink cartridge in the associated recording false electrical connections can arise, in particular in the direction parallel to the insertion direction.

Der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, die vorgenannten Probleme zu lösen, d.h. eine Tintenpatrone zur Verfügung zu stellen, die selbst bei größeren Produktionstoleranzen eine exakte Ausrichtung der patronenspezifischen Kontakte mit den druckerspezifischen Kontakten gewährleistet.The present invention has for its object to solve the above problems, ie to provide an ink cartridge available, which ensures an exact alignment of the cartridge-specific contacts with the printer-specific contacts even with larger production tolerances.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß durch die kennzeichnenden Maßnahmen des Anspruches 1 gelöst, wobei vorteilhafte Ausführungsformen und konstruktive Details in den Unteransprüchen beschrieben sind.This object is achieved by the characterizing measures ofclaim 1, wherein advantageous embodiments and structural details are described in the dependent claims.

Erfindungsgemäß ist also die Platine etwas breiter gestaltet und gemäß einer vorteilhaften Ausführungsform so auf eine etwas schmalere Tintenpatrone montiert, daß die Platine sich unmittelbar selbst in der Führung des Druckers bzw. der Patronenaufnahme auf die druckerspezifischen Kontakte ausrichten kann, und zwar unabhängig von Produktionstoleranzen der Patrone. Auf diese Weise ist ausschließlich der Spielraum zwischen Platinenbreite einerseits und Breite der zugeordneten Führung im Drucker andererseits maßgebend. Die Halterung der Platine ist so gestaltet, daß diese sich auf beide Seiten hin etwas verschieben läßt, d.h. quer zur Patronen-Einsetzrichtung bzw. quer zur Längserstreckung der zugeordneten Patronenwand, insbesondere Stirnwand.Thus, according to the invention, the board is made somewhat wider and, according to an advantageous embodiment, mounted on a slightly narrower ink cartridge so that the board can directly align itself with the printer or cartridge receptacle on the printer-specific contacts, regardless of the cartridge's production tolerances , In this way, only the margin between board width on the one hand and width of the associated guide in the printer on the other hand is decisive. The holder of the board is designed so that it can be moved slightly on both sides, i. transverse to the cartridge insertion direction or transversely to the longitudinal extent of the associated cartridge wall, in particular end wall.

Um die Selbstjustierung der Platine zusätzlich zu erleichtern, sind zumindest die unteren Ecken der Platine etwas abgeschrägt. Dies gilt insbesondere für Platinen mit rechteckigem Umriß.In order to facilitate the self-adjustment of the board in addition, at least the lower corners of the board are slightly bevelled. This is especially true for boards with a rectangular outline.

Im weiteren sind die elektrischen Kontakte auf der Platine streifenförmig in Einsetzrichtung gestaltet, so daß auch allfällige Produktionstoleranzen in Einsetzrichtung kompensiert werden. Auf diese Weise ist sichergestellt, daß die Tintenpatrone auch ohne Rasthaken sicher kontaktiert. Die elektrischen Kontaktstreifen sind so schmal, daß es nicht möglich ist, daß die Elektronik in einer falschen Höhe mit einem falschen Kontakt im Drucker oder in der Patronenaufnahme eine elektrische Verbindung entstehen läßt.Furthermore, the electrical contacts on the board are designed strip-shaped in the insertion direction, so that any production tolerances are compensated in the insertion direction. In this way, it is ensured that the ink cartridge securely contacted even without latching hook. The electrical contact strips are so narrow that it is not possible that the electronics at an incorrect height with an incorrect contact in the printer or in the cartridge receptacle creates an electrical connection.

Nachstehend wird eine bevorzugte Ausführungsform einer erfindungsgemäß ausgebildeten Tintenpatrone anhand der beigefügten Zeichnung näher erläutert. Diese zeigt in:

Die Tintenpatrone 10 in denFiguren 1 und2 ist in einen Tintenstrahldrucker bzw. in eine diesem zugeordnete Patronenaufnahme einsetzbar, und zwar in Richtung des Pfeiles 11 inFig. 2. Diese Einsetzrichtung 11 erstreckt sich zumindest in der Endphase etwa parallel zur Längserstreckung der vorderen Stirnwand 12 eines die Tintenpatrone definierenden Gehäuses 13. Dieses Gehäuse 13 umfaßt neben der vorderen Stirnwand 12 noch eine sich parallel dazu erstreckende hintere Stirnwand 14, einen Deckel 15, einen Boden 16 sowie zwei Flach-Seitenwände 17, 18. Innerhalb des Gehäuses ist eine hier nicht näher dargestellte Tintenkammer ausgebildet. Zusätzlich können eine Belüftungskammer und eine Tintenspeicherkammer mit Tintenspeicherelement vorgesehen sein. Diesbezüglich handelt es sich um Stand der Technik, der hier nicht näher beschrieben werden muß. Gleiches gilt auch für den am Boden 16 ausgebildeten Anschlußstutzen 19 zur Herstellung einer Fluidverbindung zwischen der innerhalb des Gehäuses 13 ausgebildeten Tintenkammer und einem am Tintenstrahldrucker vorgesehenen Versorgungsanschluß.Theink cartridge 10 in the FIGS. 1 and 2 can be used in an inkjet printer or in this associated cartridge receptacle, in the direction ofarrow 11 in Fig. 2 , Thisinsertion direction 11 extends at least in the final phase approximately parallel to the longitudinal extent of thefront end wall 12 of the inkcartridge defining housing 13. Thishousing 13 comprises in addition to thefront end wall 12 is still a parallel extendingrear end wall 14, alid 15, a bottom 16th and twoflat side walls 17, 18. Within the housing, an ink chamber not shown here is formed. In addition, a ventilation chamber and an ink storage chamber with ink storage element may be provided. In this regard, it is state of the art, which need not be described in detail here. The same also applies to the connectingpiece 19 formed at thebottom 16 for establishing a fluid connection between the ink chamber formed inside thehousing 13 and a supply connection provided at the inkjet printer.

Auch hier handelt es sich un eine an sich bekannte Maßnahme.Again, it is un a known measure.

Wie denFiguren 1 und2, aber auchFig. 3 entnommen werden kann, ist an der vorderen Stirnwand 12 eine elektrische Kontakte 20 sowie einen nicht näher dargestellten Speicher patronen- und/oder druckerspezifischer Daten umfassende Platine 21 angeordnet. Im Bereich, d.h. der unteren Hälfte der vorderen Stirnwand 12 ist diese etwas schmaler ausgebildet als die Platine 21. Dieser schmalere Bereich der vorderen Stirnwand 12 ist mit der Bezugsziffer 12' gekennzeichnet. Dieser Abschnitt 12' der vorderen Stirnwand 12 weist obere und untere Halteelemente 22 bzw. 23 auf, zwischen denen die Platine 21 quer zur Längserstreckung der Stirnwand bzw. quer zur Patronen-Einsetzrichtung 11 hin- und herverschieblich gehalten ist. Diese querverschiebliche Lagerung der Platine 21 ist inFig. 1 mit dem Doppelpfeil 24 angedeutet. Die oberen und unteren Halteelemente sind bei der dargestellten Ausführungsform Hakenelemente, die den oberen und unteren Rand der Platine 21 umgreifen. Die Platine 21 selbst ist etwa rechteckförmig ausgebildet, wobei alle vier Ecken abgeschrägt sind, um die Selbstjustierung der Platine beim Einsetzen der Patrone in die zugeordnete Aufnahme zu erleichtern.Like that FIGS. 1 and 2 , but also Fig. 3 can be removed, at thefront end wall 12, anelectrical contacts 20 and a non-illustrated memory cartridge and / or printer-specific datacomprehensive board 21 is arranged. In the area, ie the lower half of thefront end wall 12, this is slightly narrower than theboard 21. This narrower area of thefront end wall 12 is indicated by the reference numeral 12 '. This section 12 'of thefront end wall 12 has upper andlower holding elements 22 and 23, between which theboard 21 is held back and forth transversely to the longitudinal extent of the end wall and transverse to thecartridge insertion direction 11 and herverschieblich. This transversely displaceable mounting of thecircuit board 21 is in Fig. 1 indicated by thedouble arrow 24. The upper and lower retaining elements are in the illustrated embodiment hook members which engage around the upper and lower edges of theboard 21. Theboard 21 itself is approximately rectangular in shape, with all four corners are chamfered to facilitate the self-adjustment of the board when inserting the cartridge into the associated receptacle.

Die an der der Patrone 10 abgewandten Seite der Platine angeordneten elektrischen Kontakte bzw. Kontaktstreifen 20 erstrecken sich parallel zueinander und parallel zur Längserstreckung der zugeordneten Stirnwand 12 bzw. parallel zur Einsetzrichtung 11. Sie sind so lang ausgeführt, daß ein elektrischer Kontakt auch ohne Verrastung der Patrone innerhalb der Aufnahme sichergestellt ist, und zwar selbst dann, wenn die dem Drucker bzw. der Patronenaufnahme zugeordneten Kontakte hinsichtlich ihrer Höhe relativ zueinander versetzt sind.The arranged on the side facing away from thecartridge 10 of the board electrical contacts orcontact strip 20 extend parallel to each other and parallel to the longitudinal extension of the associatedend wall 12 and parallel to theinsertion direction 11. They are so long that an electrical contact without latching the Cartridge is ensured within the receptacle, even if the associated with the printer or the cartridge receptacle contacts are offset in height relative to each other.

Aufgrund der Querbeweglichkeit der die elektrischen Kontakte tragenden Platine 21 ist es nicht mehr erforderlich, die Tintenpatrone zumindest hinsichtlich ihrer Breite exakt zu fertigen. Es können auch Tintenpatronen mit größeren Fertigungstoleranzen verwendet werden. Die Platine 21 verschiebt sich beim Einsetzen der Tintenpatrone in die zugeordnete Aufnahme selbsttätig in die richtige Position.Due to the transverse mobility of the electricalcontacts supporting board 21, it is no longer necessary to manufacture the ink cartridge exactly, at least in terms of their width. It can also be used ink cartridges with larger manufacturing tolerances. Theboard 21 shifts automatically when inserting the ink cartridge in the associated recording in the correct position.

Es ist auch noch denkbar, zumindest die unteren Ecken der Platine 21 zusätzlich zu verrunden, um die Selbstjustierung der Platine 21 dadurch zusätzlich zu erleichtern.It is also conceivable, in addition to round at least the lower corners of theboard 21 to thereby facilitate the self-adjustment of theboard 21 in addition.

Die gegenüber der Platine 21 geringere Breite des der Platine 21 zugeordneten Abschnitts 12' der vorderen Stirnwand 12 wird zum Beispiel wie bei der dargestellten Ausführungsform dadurch erreicht, daß die Längskanten 25, 26 nach innen verlegt, d.h. eingezogen ausgebildet sind. Damit ist gewährleistet, daß die beiden Längsränder der Platine 21 über die erwähnten Längskanten 25, 26 seitlich vorstehen. Somit ist sichergestellt, daß beim Einsetzen der Patrone in die Patronenaufnahme in Richtung des Pfeiles 11 an der vorderen Stirnwand 12 zunächst die Platine 21 in Eingriff mit der zugeordneten Führung der Patronenaufnahme kommt und sich gegenüber dieser selbst ausrichtet, derart, daß die patronenspezifischen Kontakte 20 mit den zugeordneten druckerspezifischen Kontakten in Verbindung treten.The smaller width of theboard 21 associated with theboard 21 relative to the board 12 'of thefront end wall 12 is achieved, for example, as in the illustrated embodiment, in that thelongitudinal edges 25, 26 are laid inwards, i. trained trained. This ensures that the two longitudinal edges of theboard 21 project laterally beyond the mentionedlongitudinal edges 25, 26. Thus, it is ensured that when inserting the cartridge into the cartridge receptacle in the direction of thearrow 11 on thefront end wall 12 first, theboard 21 comes into engagement with the associated guide the cartridge receptacle and aligns with respect to this itself, such that the cartridge-specific contacts 20 with contact the associated printer-specific contacts.

Sämtliche in den Anmeldungsunterlagen offenbarten Merkmale werden als erfindungswesentlich beansprucht, soweit sie einzeln oder in Kombination gegenüber dem Stand der Technik neu sind.All disclosed in the application documents features are claimed as essential to the invention, as far as they are new individually or in combination over the prior art.
