LIQUID DISCHARGE APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18477713 titled 'LIQUID DISCHARGE APPARATUS
Simplified Explanation
The liquid discharge apparatus described in the patent application includes a substrate unit with drive circuits, coils, a cooling fan, a wiring substrate, and an opening member. The cooling fan generates an air flow in the space where the coils are located, and the openings in the opening member overlap with the coils when viewed from a certain direction.
- Explanation of the patent/innovation:
- The apparatus includes drive circuits with coils for liquid discharge. - A cooling fan generates an air flow to cool the coils. - The wiring substrate has rigid and flexible members. - The opening member has openings that overlap with the coils.
Potential Applications
The technology can be used in various liquid discharge systems, such as inkjet printers, 3D printers, and industrial printing machines.
Problems Solved
- Overheating of coils in liquid discharge systems. - Ensuring proper cooling of components in a compact space.
Benefits
- Improved performance and longevity of liquid discharge systems. - Efficient cooling mechanism for drive circuits and coils.
