LIQUID EJECTION HEAD - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18525308 titled 'LIQUID EJECTION HEAD
The abstract describes a liquid ejection head with an actuator containing pressure chambers, common chambers on either side, and liquid flow paths for cooling and ejection.
- Actuator with pressure chambers
- First and second common chambers
- Manifold providing liquid flow paths
- Cooling flow path above the second common chamber
- Confluence portion connecting liquid flow paths
- Midpoint of the first liquid flow path
Potential Applications: - Inkjet printers - 3D printing - Bioprinting
Problems Solved: - Efficient cooling of the actuator - Precise liquid ejection
Benefits: - Improved printing quality - Enhanced reliability - Extended lifespan of the liquid ejection head
Commercial Applications: Title: Advanced Liquid Ejection Heads for Printing Technology This technology can be used in various industries such as printing, manufacturing, and biomedical sectors. The market implications include increased efficiency and productivity in printing processes.
Questions about Liquid Ejection Heads: 1. How does the confluence portion improve the liquid ejection process? The confluence portion ensures a smooth transition between liquid flow paths, enhancing the precision of liquid ejection.
2. What are the key advantages of using a liquid ejection head with pressure chambers? The pressure chambers allow for controlled liquid ejection, resulting in consistent and accurate printing results.
Original Abstract Submitted
According to one embodiment, a liquid ejection head includes an actuator with pressure chambers, a first common chamber on a first side of the pressure chambers, a second common chamber on a second side of the pressure chambers, and a manifold providing a first liquid flow path above the first common chamber, a first cooling flow path above the second common chamber, and a second liquid flow path above the first cooling flow path. The second liquid flow path is connected to the first liquid flow path by a confluence portion at a confluence position between a first end of the first liquid flow path and a midpoint of the first liquid flow path.
