Liquid Discharge Apparatus And Liquid Discharge Module - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240109300 titled 'Liquid Discharge Apparatus And Liquid Discharge Module
Simplified Explanation
The liquid discharge apparatus described in the patent application includes a print head, a substrate unit, and a relay substrate. The print head has a first connector, the substrate unit has a second connector fitted to the first connector and a third connector different from the second connector, and the relay substrate includes cables for transmitting voltage signals and a fourth connector fitted to the third connector.
- Print head with first connector
- Substrate unit with second and third connectors
- Relay substrate with cables and fourth connector
Potential Applications
The technology can be applied in inkjet printers, 3D printers, and other liquid dispensing systems that require precise control and communication between components.
Problems Solved
This innovation solves the problem of efficient and reliable transmission of voltage signals between the print head, substrate unit, and relay substrate in liquid discharge systems.
Benefits
- Improved communication between components - Enhanced reliability and efficiency in liquid dispensing processes - Simplified assembly and maintenance of the apparatus
