| titleOfInvention | Ink recirculation system for inkjet printing |
| abstract | An ink reservoir (10) for an ink recirculation system that supplies ink to an inkjet printhead (14), a first chamber (16) that receives ink from a main ink source (12), A first chamber (16) having a printhead outlet (24) for feeding to the printhead (14) and ink from the first chamber exceeding a predetermined height in the first chamber determined by the position of the transfer outlet (20) A second chamber (18) in fluid communication with the first chamber, the second chamber having a printhead inlet (30) for receiving the recirculated ink from the printhead and a return outlet (40), and the return outlet contains ink exceeding a predetermined height in the second chamber determined by the position of the return outlet. Ink main supply source (12) is fed back to the transport outlet (20) is in use, the vertically upward feedback outlet (40). In use of the reservoir, this results in a pressure differential since the transfer outlet (20) of the first chamber is vertically above the return outlet (40) of the second chamber, and from the first chamber (16) to the print head ( 14) causes ink flow through the printhead outlet (24) to return unused ink back to the second chamber (18) via the printhead inlet (30) through the printhead (14). The unused ink is then returned to the main source (12) for reuse so that excess ink circulates through the system. This arrangement thus uses gravity to cause ink flow through the printhead (14), thus eliminating the need for pumps, level sensors, valves, and the like. The ink reservoir self-regulates with a pressure difference determined by the ink height of the first and second chambers, i.e. the relative height of the two outlets. [Selection] Figure 1 |
