LIQUID EJECTION HEAD, MANUFACTURING METHOD FOR LIQUID EJECTION HEAD, AND PROTECTION TAPE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18601733 titled 'LIQUID EJECTION HEAD, MANUFACTURING METHOD FOR LIQUID EJECTION HEAD, AND PROTECTION TAPE
The liquid ejection head described in the patent application includes a surface with multiple ejection orifices and a protective tape that can be peeled off.
- The ejection orifice forming surface has several ejection orifices for liquid ejection.
- The protection tape is attached to the ejection orifice forming surface in a peelable manner.
- The protection tape consists of a base material and an adhesive layer that sticks to the ejection orifice forming surface.
- There is at least one penetration portion in the protection tape that goes through the base material in a direction perpendicular to the tape's thickness.
Potential Applications: - This technology can be used in inkjet printers, 3D printers, and other devices that require precise liquid ejection. - It can also be applied in medical devices for controlled drug delivery or in scientific instruments for precise liquid handling.
Problems Solved: - Protects the ejection orifices from damage or contamination during storage or transportation. - Allows for easy removal of the protective tape before using the liquid ejection head.
Benefits: - Ensures the quality and reliability of liquid ejection devices. - Reduces the risk of clogging or malfunction due to foreign particles entering the ejection orifices.
Commercial Applications: - This technology can be valuable for manufacturers of printers, medical devices, and laboratory equipment. - It can enhance the performance and longevity of liquid ejection systems in various industries.
Questions about the liquid ejection head: 1. How does the protection tape prevent damage to the ejection orifices?
- The protection tape acts as a barrier against physical harm and contaminants, preserving the integrity of the orifices.
2. What are the potential cost savings associated with using this technology?
- By preventing damage to the ejection orifices, companies can reduce maintenance and replacement costs for their liquid ejection devices.
Original Abstract Submitted
A liquid ejection head includes an ejection orifice forming surface and a protection tape. The ejection orifice forming surface includes a plurality of ejection orifices from which liquid is to be ejected. The protection tape is bonded to the ejection orifice forming surface in a peelable manner. The protection tape includes a base material and an adhesive layer laminated on the base material, and the adhesive layer is brought into contact with the ejection orifice forming surface. The protection tape further includes at least one penetration portion that penetrates at least the base material in a thickness direction of the protection tape at a position being substantially flat and distant from the plurality of ejection orifices in the ejection orifice forming surface.
