LIQUID EJECTION DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18439871 titled 'LIQUID EJECTION DEVICE
Simplified Explanation:
The liquid ejection device described in the patent application is designed to eject liquid in a continuous flow, convert it into droplets, and then collide with an object. The liquid feeder component consists of a liquid reservoir, a displacement part, and a drive unit that work together to control the flow of liquid during suction and ejection operations.
- The ejector ejects liquid in a continuous flow and forms it into droplets for collision with an object.
- The liquid feeder includes a liquid reservoir, a displacement part, and a drive unit.
- The displacement part increases the volume of the first pressure chamber during suction and the second pressure chamber during ejection.
- The liquid feeder controls the volume of liquid in the reservoir during different operational phases.
Potential Applications:
This technology could be used in various industries such as:
- Inkjet printing
- Pharmaceutical manufacturing
- Chemical processing
- Agricultural spraying systems

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.
