LIQUID EJECTION DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240278579 titled 'LIQUID EJECTION DEVICE
The liquid ejection device described in the abstract is designed to eject liquid in a continuous flow, convert the flow into droplets, and cause a collision with an object in the form of droplets.
- The device includes an ejector responsible for the ejection process.
- A liquid feeder consists of a liquid reservoir, a displacement part, and a drive unit.
- The displacement part increases the volume of the liquid reservoir chamber during suction operation and decreases it during ejection operation.
- By displacing the displacement part, the volume of the first pressure chamber relative to the liquid reservoir increases, while the volume of the second pressure chamber decreases.
Potential Applications: - This technology can be used in inkjet printers for precise droplet ejection. - It can also be applied in medical devices for controlled liquid delivery.
Problems Solved: - Ensures accurate and controlled liquid ejection. - Facilitates the creation of droplets for various applications.
Benefits: - Improved precision in liquid ejection. - Enhanced control over droplet formation. - Increased efficiency in liquid delivery systems.
Commercial Applications: Title: Precision Liquid Ejection Technology for Inkjet Printers and Medical Devices This technology can revolutionize the printing industry by enhancing the quality of prints and enable more precise medical treatments through controlled liquid delivery systems.
Questions about Liquid Ejection Devices: 1. How does the displacement part in the liquid feeder contribute to the ejection process? The displacement part increases the volume of the first pressure chamber during suction operation and decreases it during ejection operation, facilitating the controlled ejection of liquid droplets.
2. What are the potential benefits of using this liquid ejection device in medical devices? The device can provide precise and controlled liquid delivery, leading to more accurate medical treatments and improved patient outcomes.
Original Abstract Submitted
a liquid ejection device includes an ejector configured to eject a liquid in a continuous flow, form the continuous flow into droplets, and cause a collision with an object in a form of the droplets, a liquid feeder includes a liquid reservoir, a displacement part, and a drive unit, the displacement part is placed to increase a volume of the liquid reservoir chamber when displaced to increase a volume of the first pressure chamber relative to the volume of the liquid reservoir, and decrease the volume of the liquid reservoir chamber when displaced to increase a volume of the second pressure chamber relative to the volume of the liquid reservoir, the displacement part is displaced to increase the volume of the first pressure chamber at a suction operation, and the displacement part is displaced to increase the volume of the second pressure chamber at an ejection operation.
