Claims (9)

1. 1. A container attached to a container attachment portion of a printing apparatus, the container attachment portion having a liquid introduction portion that receives a liquid, wherein the container includes: A liquid containing portion that contains the liquid; A bottom wall provided with a liquid supply part connected to the liquid introduction part and supplying the liquid, and A rib formed on the bottom wall, The rib is located on the opposite side of the insertion direction of the liquid supply portion into the container mounting portion, and protrudes further toward the supply direction side than the liquid supply port of the liquid supply portion, The rib has a first protruding portion, and a second protruding portion that contacts the first protruding portion on the opposite direction side with respect to the first protruding portion, The second protruding portion protrudes further in a direction intersecting the insertion direction than the first protruding portion, The second protruding portion further has an inclined surface continuous from the supply direction tip end to the end portion on the opposite direction side in the bottom wall.
2. 2. The container according to claim 1, wherein the container comprises a lid, The protruding dimension of the rib toward the supply direction side is 0.5mm or more and 4mm or less from the liquid supply port.
3. 3. A container according to claim 1 or 2, wherein, A container guide portion is formed, which extends along the insertion direction and is guided by the container mounting portion in the insertion direction.
4. 4. The container according to claim 1, wherein the container comprises a lid, The rib presses a handle formed at the container mounting portion in an insertion direction toward the insertion direction of the container mounting portion when the rib is inserted in the insertion direction.
5. 5. The container according to claim 4, wherein the container comprises a lid, The restriction with a handle engaging portion formed in the container mounting portion and disposed at a position capable of restricting with the handle is released by pressing the handle in the insertion direction.
6. 6. A printing system, comprising: The container according to any one of claims 1 to 5, and a printing device having the container mounting portion.
7. 7. The printing system of claim 6, wherein the printing system further comprises a printing unit configured to print, The insertion direction of the container mounting part is parallel to the horizontal direction, The direction in which the liquid supply portion extends is downward in a state in which the container is inserted into the container mounting portion.
8. 8. The printing system of claim 7, wherein the printing system further comprises a printing unit configured to print, The container mounting portion has a handle at a position pressed by the rib when the container is inserted in the insertion direction.
9. 9. The printing system of claim 8, wherein the printing system further comprises a printing unit configured to print, The container mounting part further comprises a handle engaging part which is arranged at a position capable of limiting the handle and limits the downward movement of the handle under the condition of limiting the handle, The handle is pushed by the rib in the insertion direction to release the restriction with the handle engagement portion, and moves downward with the downward movement of the container.

Description

Container and printing system Technical Field The present invention relates to a container and a printing system. Background Conventionally, a printing system including a container provided with a liquid supply port and a printing device to which the container is detachably attached is known (for example, patent document 1). [ Prior Art literature ] [ Patent literature ] [ Patent document 1] International publication No. 2019/098287 If the vicinity of the liquid supply port is damaged by external impact or the like during handling of the container, unexpected ink leakage may occur. Even in a configuration in which the container is continuously inserted horizontally into the container holder of the printing apparatus, and then the container is rotatably moved in the gravity direction and attached to the container holder, if a positional shift of the container from a predetermined position occurs during each operation, erroneous attachment of the container is caused, and thus unexpected ink leakage may occur. Disclosure of Invention (1) According to a first aspect of the present invention, there is provided a container mounted to a container mounting portion of a printing apparatus, the container mounting portion having a liquid introduction portion that receives a liquid. The container includes a liquid accommodating portion that accommodates a liquid, a bottom wall that is provided with a liquid supply portion that is connected to the liquid introduction portion and supplies the liquid, and a rib that is formed in the bottom wall. (2) According to a second aspect of the present invention, a printing system is provided. The printing system comprises the container of the above mode, and a printing device provided with the container mounting part. Drawings Fig. 1 is a perspective view showing a configuration of a printing system according to an embodiment of the present invention. Fig. 2 is a first view illustrating a process of attaching the container to the container attaching portion. Fig. 3 is a second diagram illustrating the installation process. Fig. 4 is a view showing a mounted state in which the container is mounted to the container mounting portion. Fig. 5 is a view of the container mounting portion viewed from the +z direction side. Fig. 6 is a VI-VI cross-sectional view of fig. 5. Fig. 7 is an enlarged view of region R7 of fig. 6. Fig. 8 is an exploded perspective view of the first container. Fig. 9 is a perspective view of a first container. Fig. 10 is an enlarged view showing a part of the bottom wall in a direction opposite to the insertion direction. Fig. 11 is an enlarged view for explaining the rib. Fig. 12 is an explanatory diagram for explaining the protruding dimension of the rib. Fig. 13 is a schematic view of a state in which the container is arranged on a table. Fig. 14 is a cross-sectional view illustrating a horizontal mounting midway of the mounting of the container. Fig. 15 is a cross-sectional view after horizontal installation for explaining the installation of the container. Fig. 16 is a cross-sectional view illustrating a vertical mounting midway of the mounting of the container. Fig. 17 is an explanatory diagram for explaining a positional relationship between the lock lever portion and the lock lever engaging portion. Fig. 18 is a perspective view of the lock lever portion.
