LIQUID EJECTION DEVICE AND CARRIAGE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18475308 titled 'LIQUID EJECTION DEVICE AND CARRIAGE

Simplified Explanation

The liquid ejection device described in the patent application includes a head for ejecting liquid, a board case for housing a board unit that drives the head, a first fan for sending airflow into the board case, a carriage for housing the head and board case, and a second fan for sending airflow into the carriage. The board unit is connected to the head via a board-to-board connector, and the second fan sends more airflow into the carriage than the first fan sends into the board case.

  • Head for ejecting liquid
  • Board case for housing the board unit
  • First fan for sending airflow into the board case
  • Carriage for housing the head and board case
  • Second fan for sending airflow into the carriage
  • Board-to-board connector connecting the board unit to the head
  • Second fan sends more airflow into the carriage than the first fan sends into the board case
