LIQUID EJECTION HEAD - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240157705 titled 'LIQUID EJECTION HEAD

Simplified Explanation

The liquid ejection head described in the patent application includes ejection nozzles, pressure compartments, a supply port, and first pillar structures. The pressure compartments communicate with the ejection nozzles and are combined with energy generating elements to generate ejection energy for liquid ejection. The supply port supplies liquid to the pressure compartments, while the first pillar structures are positioned between the supply port and the pressure compartments. The pressure compartments are defined by flow path walls arranged in line and parallel to each other, allowing liquid to flow through the liquid flow path from the supply port via the first pillar structures into the pressure compartments. The longest clearance between the first pillar structures is smaller than the shortest clearance between the flow path walls and the first pillar structures.

  • Ejection nozzles, pressure compartments, supply port, and first pillar structures are key components of the liquid ejection head.
  • Pressure compartments generate ejection energy for liquid ejection, with the supply port providing the liquid.
  • The first pillar structures facilitate the flow of liquid from the supply port to the pressure compartments.
  • The design of the pressure compartments allows for efficient liquid flow and ejection.

Original Abstract Submitted

a liquid ejection head includes ejection nozzles, pressure compartments, a supply port, and first pillar structures. the pressure compartments which each communicate with a corresponding ejection nozzle of the ejection nozzles and are each combined with an energy generating element configured to generates ejection energy for ejecting liquid. the supply port supplies the liquid to the pressure compartments. the first pillar structures are arranged between the supply port and the pressure compartments. the pressure compartments is each defined by a flow path walls arranged in line and parallel to each other. a liquid flow path is formed and configured to allow the liquid to flow through the liquid flow path from the at least one supply port via the first pillar structures into the pressure compartments. a longest clearance between the first pillar structures is smaller than a shortest clearance between the flow path walls and the first pillar structures.
