Abstract

PURPOSE:To enable monochromatic recording and color recording to be easily performed, by applying to a serial printer a system in which a film is provided with a multiplicity of minute holes, which are made to be nozzles, and an ink is ejected through the nozzles by heating by a thermal head, thereby recording. CONSTITUTION:An ink-supplying part 4 is in the form of a box-like cassette, is provided with a pouring port capable of pouring an ink therethrough, a recording ink is contained therein, and an ink-supplying part 4a consisting of a sponge or the like is set in contact with one side of the film, in order to supply the ink into the holes 2 of the film 1 to fill the holes with the ink. The film 1 is provided with a multiplicity of the holes 2, and when the holes 2 are filled with the ink 5 supplied from the ink-supplying part 4, the ink is ejected only at the parts heated by thermal head elements 6 of the thermal head 3.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention scans a recording head while contacting a film in which fine pores are formed and filling the pores with ink while simultaneously heating a thermal head and ejecting ink. The present invention relates to a recording device that performs serial recording.

[Conventional technology]

Conventionally, many inkjet recording devices have been announced, but the problem of nozzle clogging t4p could not be completely solved, and full-scale practical use was not achieved.

[Means for solving problems]

The present invention provides a method for preventing nozzle clogging, in which a large number of microscopic holes are formed in the film, the microscopic holes are used as nozzles, and ink is ejected from the nozzles by heating a thermal head to perform recording. This is applied to the tar.

〔Example〕

Hereinafter, the present invention will be explained in detail with reference to the drawings.

Figure 1 is an explanatory diagram of the basic structure of the present invention. 1 is a film, and a large number of holes 2 are formed in a thin metal film such as A1 or an organic film such as polyimide. This film 1 has an appropriate width and is formed into a long elongate shape. Although both ends of this film are not shown, it can be wound into a roll, and when the used part deteriorates, a new part can be taken out and used, and it is extremely resistant to clogging. . 3 is a thermal head section in which a plurality of thermal dot elements 6 are formed, and 04 is an ink supply section that supplies ink. This ink supply section 4 has a Japanese-shaped cassette shape, and has an ink injection port through which ink can be injected. Recording ink is contained in the ink supply port, and the ink is further supplied to the holes 2 of the film L. Then, in order to fill the holes with ink, an ink supply section 4a such as a sponge is brought into contact with the -llLiIC of the film. The thermal head section 3 and the ink supply s4 are integrated in a cassette shape and move serially as a recording head while contacting the surface of the film 1 during recording. The ink 5 filled in the holes 2 of the film 1 is ejected by pulp pressure toward the recording paper by using the holes 2 as nozzles by heating the thermal dot element of the thermal head 3.

Figure 2 is an explanatory diagram illustrating the action of the film 1 and the thermal head 3. When a large number of holes 2 are formed in the film IIIC and the holes are filled with ink 5 from the ink supply section 4,
Ink is ejected only at the location heated by the thermal dot element 6 of the thermal head 3. 7 is a flexible cable that transmits signals from a drive circuit (not shown) to the thermal head 3.

Figure 3 is an explanatory diagram of the basic structure when performing color recording. 8 is a recording paper that is wrapped around the drum and let it go. Of course, a method may also be used in which the wire is wound around a drum and travels in one pass to the cable t'. 1a, lbS 1. c, 1d are Y color, M color, 0
It is a film that supports eight colors. These are provided with a thermal head 3a and an ink supply section 4a as recording heads.

Reference numeral 10 denotes a stand for supporting the recording head, through which a rod 9 for supporting the traveling of the recording head passes. The recording head for recording each color moves in accordance with the scanning of the recording paper and records each color in the rhino direction.

The present invention allows monochrome and color recording to be easily performed, is extremely simple to use, and is highly resistant to clogging of the nozzle, and even if the nozzle becomes clogged, the film can be wound without any trouble.
If you move it, you can record it immediately, and Copyman/,
It is extremely easy to apply to Seiko typewriters, etc.
