LIQUID EJECTION APPARATUS AND HEAD UNIT - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240198684 titled 'LIQUID EJECTION APPARATUS AND HEAD UNIT
The liquid ejection apparatus described in the patent application consists of an ejection head, a liquid reservoir, and a pressure control mechanism that regulates the pressure of the liquid supplied from the reservoir to the ejection head.
- The pressure control mechanism includes a pressure chamber connected to the ejection head, a lever member linked to a valve element, and a biasing mechanism that maintains the valve element at a specific load.
- A lever ratio is defined as the ratio between the distance from the effort to the fulcrum of the lever member and the distance from the load to the fulcrum, with a range of greater than 1 and less than 5.
Potential Applications: - Printing technology - Industrial manufacturing processes - Medical equipment
Problems Solved: - Precise control of liquid pressure - Efficient liquid ejection - Consistent performance
Benefits: - Improved accuracy in liquid ejection - Enhanced reliability - Cost-effective solution
Commercial Applications: Title: Advanced Liquid Ejection System for Precision Applications This technology can be utilized in various industries such as 3D printing, pharmaceutical manufacturing, and textile printing, where precise liquid ejection is crucial for quality and efficiency.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the lever ratio impact the performance of the pressure control mechanism? The lever ratio affects the efficiency and precision of the pressure control mechanism by determining the mechanical advantage of the lever system. 2. What are the key advantages of using a pressure chamber in the liquid ejection apparatus? The pressure chamber allows for consistent and controlled liquid supply to the ejection head, resulting in accurate and reliable performance.
Original Abstract Submitted
a liquid ejection apparatus includes: an ejection head; a liquid reservoir; and a pressure control mechanism controlling a pressure of liquid supplied from the liquid reservoir and supplying the ejection head with liquid, the pressure control mechanism including a pressure chamber with the ejection head, a lever member connected to the valve element at a load and connectable to a pressure receiving member for a pressure of the pressure chamber at an effort, and a biasing mechanism biasing the valve element at the load of the lever member, the pressure control mechanism controlling a pressure of the pressure chamber. in the pressure control mechanism, a lever ratio, which is a ratio of a distance between the effort and fulcrum of the lever member to a distance between the load and fulcrum of the lever member, is greater than 1 and less than 5.
