DRIVE CIRCUIT UNIT, HEAD UNIT, AND LIQUID DISCHARGE APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240109290 titled 'DRIVE CIRCUIT UNIT, HEAD UNIT, AND LIQUID DISCHARGE APPARATUS
Simplified Explanation
The drive circuit unit described in the abstract is a component that controls the operation of a head by discharging liquid from a nozzle in a specific direction based on a drive signal. The unit includes a fan and a power supply board that supplies power to the drive circuit. The power supply board is positioned on a side opposite to the direction of liquid discharge, with the fan mounted on its surface. The height of the tallest object on the surface of the power supply board is equal to or less than the length of the head in the transport direction.

Original Abstract Submitted
provided is a drive circuit unit that drives a head including a discharge section discharging, based on a drive signal, a liquid from a nozzle in a first direction, the drive circuit unit including: a fan; and a power supply board disposed on a side in a second direction opposite to the first direction with respect to the head, supplying power to a drive circuit, and having a first surface on which the fan is mounted, in which a height of a first object, which is a highest of objects mounted on the first surface in a direction orthogonal to the first surface, is equal to or less than a length of the head in a transport direction, and the first surface is a surface parallel to the first direction or a surface oblique to the first direction.
