Title:
LIQUID CONSUMPTION DEVICE
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2020/196729
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
The purpose of the present invention is to prevent an atmosphere chamber from being filled with ink as a gas valve is opened in a state in which an inlet is not sealed with a cap. In a printer unit 11, ink is poured into a storage chamber 111 from an inlet 143 of a black tank 18. The storage chamber 111 communicates with an atmosphere chamber 112. An atmosphere tube 34 connects the atmosphere chamber 112 and the outside of the black tank 18 to each other and is opened/closed by a valve 170A. A cover 100A is movable to a position P1 at which the inlet 143 is covered and a position P2 at which the inlet 143 is exposable via a position P7. A valve opening/closing mechanism 160A opens a valve 170A when the cover 100A is placed on a side closer to the position P1 than the position P7, and closes the valve 170A when the cover 100A is placed between the position P7 and the position P2. When the cover 100A moves from the position P7 to the position P1, a cap 104 fits into the inlet 143 to seal the storage chamber 111.
