- Patent Document 3 Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2002-36602 (pages 2 to 9)
- the tube pump provides an optimal ink supply system for an ink jet printing device.
- the elastic tube 5 in the tube pump is constantly pressed and crushed between the outer periphery of the pressure roller 2 and the inner wall of the pump case 1. If the tube is left for a long time, especially in a high temperature environment, the elastic restoring force of the elastic tube 3 is weakened. In some cases, the tube may stick.
- Ink-jet recording devices are often left at high temperatures especially during transportation by automobile during the summer season.Ink-jet recording devices that use a solvent as the main solvent of the ink will cause severe volatilization of the ink if not used for a certain period. As a result, the inside of the tube dries and pigment resin remains, and the tube adheres, and the above-mentioned elastic deformation causes creep deterioration and causes a malfunction of the pump. Also, in the method described in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2001-355580, the pump gut cannot be used at the time of normal rotation and reverse rotation. there were.
