LIQUID EJECTION APPARATUS AND LIQUID EJECTION HEAD - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18599539 titled 'LIQUID EJECTION APPARATUS AND LIQUID EJECTION HEAD
The liquid ejection apparatus described in the patent application aims to detect a difference in the ejection of ink due to a change in temperature, distinguishing between normal ejection and ejection failure.
- The apparatus includes a driving unit to operate a heating element and a detection unit to monitor the ejection state of the liquid ejection head using a temperature detection element.
- The liquid ejection head features a foaming chamber, a first heating element for ejecting liquid, a temperature detection element, and a second heating element positioned closer to the temperature detection element.
- The second heating element generates thermal energy to ensure accurate temperature detection and ink ejection.
Potential Applications: - This technology can be used in inkjet printers to improve the reliability and accuracy of ink ejection. - It can also be applied in industrial printing processes where precise control of liquid ejection is crucial.
Problems Solved: - The technology addresses issues related to temperature variations affecting the ejection of liquid, ensuring consistent and reliable performance.
