LIQUID EJECTION HEAD AND INKJET RECORDING APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18360153 titled 'LIQUID EJECTION HEAD AND INKJET RECORDING APPARATUS

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a liquid ejection head that includes a channel member, an ejection substrate, and a sealing member. The ejection substrate is located in a recess of the channel member and has a row of nozzles arranged in a first direction. The sealing member, filled with a thermosetting resin, is located upstream of the ejection substrate in a second direction.

  • The ejection head consists of a channel member, ejection substrate, and sealing member.
  • The ejection substrate is placed in a recess of the channel member and has a row of nozzles.
  • The sealing member, filled with a thermosetting resin, is positioned upstream of the ejection substrate.
  • The sealing member includes a first sealing portion with resin near the bottom surface of the recess.
  • The sealing member also includes a second sealing portion with resin near the ejection surface of the ejection substrate.
  • The first resin has a lower coefficient of linear expansion than the second resin.
  • The first resin has a higher specific gravity than the second resin.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Inkjet printers
  • 3D printers
  • Industrial printing systems

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Prevents leakage of liquid from the ejection head
  • Ensures proper sealing of the ejection substrate
  • Reduces the risk of damage to the ejection head

Benefits of this technology:

  • Improved reliability and durability of liquid ejection heads
  • Enhanced print quality and accuracy
  • Longer lifespan of the ejection head
  • Reduced maintenance and downtime.


Original Abstract Submitted

A liquid ejection head includes: a channel member; an ejection substrate being disposed in a recess of the channel member and having a nozzle row of nozzles arranged in a first direction; and a sealing member having a thermosetting resin filled in a predetermined space defined by side and bottom surfaces of the recess and a side surface of the ejection substrate and located upstream of the ejection substrate in a second direction. The sealing member includes: a first sealing portion having a first resin located near the bottom surface of the predetermined space; and a second sealing portion having a second resin located near an ejection surface of the ejection substrate. A coefficient of linear expansion of the first resin is less than that of the second resin, and a specific gravity of the first resin is greater than that of the second resin.
