DRIVE UNIT, LIQUID EJECTING HEAD UNIT, AND LIQUID EJECTING APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240109297 titled 'DRIVE UNIT, LIQUID EJECTING HEAD UNIT, AND LIQUID EJECTING APPARATUS
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a patent application for a drive unit located opposite to a liquid ejecting head unit's ejecting orifice. The drive unit includes a first board with a connector coupled to the head unit's connector, and a second board with a drive circuit mounted on it. The drive signal is generated by the drive circuit on the second board and supplied to the head unit's connector via the first board.
- Explanation of the patent:
- Drive unit located opposite to liquid ejecting head unit's ejecting orifice - First board with connector coupled to head unit's connector - Second board with drive circuit generating drive signal - Drive signal supplied to head unit's connector via first board
Potential Applications: This technology could be used in inkjet printers, 3D printers, and other devices that require precise liquid ejection mechanisms.
Problems Solved: This technology solves the problem of efficiently driving liquid ejecting heads located on an opposite side in relation to the ejecting orifice.
Benefits: - Improved efficiency in liquid ejection mechanisms - Precise control over liquid ejection - Simplified design for drive units
Potential Commercial Applications: "Efficient Drive Unit for Liquid Ejecting Head Units: Applications and Benefits"
Possible Prior Art: Prior art may include patents related to drive units for liquid ejecting head units, especially those focusing on improving efficiency and precision in liquid ejection mechanisms.
Unanswered Questions: 1. What specific types of liquid ejecting devices can benefit from this technology? 2. Are there any limitations to the distance between the drive unit and the liquid ejecting head unit for optimal performance?
Original Abstract Submitted
a drive unit is located on an opposite side in relation to an ejecting orifice of a liquid ejecting head unit. the drive unit includes a first board including a first connector coupled to a head connector of the liquid ejecting head unit; and a second board on which a drive circuit configured to generate a drive signal is mounted. the second board is disposed in an upright position with respect to the first board by being b-to-b coupled to the first board, and the drive signal is supplied from the second board to the first connector via the first board.
