DISCHARGE UNIT, LIQUID DISCHARGE HEAD, AND MANUFACTURING METHOD OF DISCHARGE UNIT - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240157700 titled 'DISCHARGE UNIT, LIQUID DISCHARGE HEAD, AND MANUFACTURING METHOD OF DISCHARGE UNIT

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a discharge unit that includes an element substrate, an electric wiring substrate, a support member, and an adhesive. The electric wiring substrate has a protruding portion that protrudes towards the element substrate and overlaps the terminal in a parallel direction to the support surface.

  • Element substrate with discharge port
  • Electric wiring substrate with protruding portion
  • Support member for element and wiring substrates
  • Adhesive for bonding substrates
  • Protruding portion overlaps terminal in parallel direction

Potential Applications

The technology described in the patent application could be applied in various industries such as:

  • Medical devices
  • Automotive systems
  • Industrial machinery

Problems Solved

This technology helps in:

  • Securely connecting element and wiring substrates
  • Providing a compact and efficient discharge unit design

Benefits

The benefits of this technology include:

  • Improved reliability of discharge units
  • Simplified assembly process
  • Enhanced performance of liquid discharge systems

Potential Commercial Applications

The technology could be commercially applied in:

  • Medical equipment manufacturing
  • Automotive component production
  • Industrial machinery development

Possible Prior Art

One possible prior art could be the use of separate support members for element and wiring substrates in discharge units.

Unanswered Questions

1. How does the protruding portion enhance the performance of the discharge unit? 2. Are there any specific industries where this technology would be most beneficial?


Original Abstract Submitted

a discharge unit includes an element substrate having a discharge port which discharges a liquid, an electric wiring substrate having an end surface opposed to the element substrate and a terminal electrically connected to the element substrate, a support member which supports the element substrate and the electric wiring substrate with a support surface, and an adhesive which bonds the electric wiring substrate and the support member, in which the electric wiring substrate further has a protruding portion which is provided having an interval with respect to the support surface and protrudes from the end surface of the electric wiring substrate toward the element substrate, and the protruding portion is provided at a position overlapping the terminal in a direction parallel to the support surface and orthogonal to a protruding direction of the protruding portion.
