Liquid supply device and liquid jetting system

摘要

A liquid supply device 10 is equipped with a liquid containing chamber 16, a transport tube 15 for sending the liquid inside the chamber 16 to a liquid jetting device 20, first and second members 171 and 172 sandwiching the tube 15, and a cam 173 that determines the position of the first member 171 relative to the second member 172. The tube 15 is equipped with an elastic portion 151 that elastically deforms and is flattened. In the first rotation position, the cam 173 arranges the first member 171 such that there is a space that allows the liquid to flow inside the part 151 between the first and second members 171, 172. In the second rotation position, the cam 173 arranges the first member 171 such that the elastic portion 151 is flattened by the first and second members 171, 172, and the liquid inside cannot flow.

主权项

1. A liquid supply device for supplying liquid to a liquid jetting device, comprising:
a liquid containing chamber that contains liquid; and a tube for being connected to the liquid jetting device for supplying the liquid from the liquid containing chamber to the liquid jetting device, the tube including at least in part an elastic portion that can elastically deform, an opening and closing unit for allowing and preventing the supply of liquid from the liquid supply device to the liquid jetting device, the opening and closing unit including: a slider; a locking pin for locking the slider that is connected to one end of the slider; an operating unit connected to the other end of the slider; a support member for supporting the tube, the elastic portion of the tube being positioned between the slider and the support member; and a case which covers the liquid supply device, wherein the operating unit is positioned at the outside of the case wherein the operating unit is connected to the slider through a connecting shaft and the connecting shaft is movable within a guide hole provided in the case; wherein the slider is movable between a first position and a second position with the locking pin as a rotating center, wherein when the slider is in the first position, the liquid can flow inside the tube; but when the slider is in the second position, the tube is pushed by the slider toward the support member and deformed to prevent the liquid flow inside the tube.
