LIQUID EJECTING APPARATUS, CONTROL METHOD, AND STORAGE MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240198689 titled 'LIQUID EJECTING APPARATUS, CONTROL METHOD, AND STORAGE MEDIUM
The liquid ejecting apparatus described in the patent application includes a circulation channel, a circulating pump for moving the liquid within the channel, and a control unit that regulates the pump's operation based on the printing process.
- The apparatus drives the circulating pump at a higher frequency during printing operations where liquid is ejected onto a printing medium.
- In cases before printing, the pump is driven at a lower frequency to conserve energy and reduce wear on the system.
- This control mechanism optimizes the use of the circulating pump based on the specific requirements of the printing process.
Potential Applications: - This technology can be applied in various printing devices such as inkjet printers, 3D printers, and industrial printing machines. - It can also be used in medical devices that require precise liquid ejection, such as drug dispensing systems.
Problems Solved: - Efficient use of energy and resources during printing operations. - Prolonged lifespan of the circulating pump due to reduced wear and tear.
Benefits: - Improved printing quality and consistency. - Cost savings through reduced energy consumption and maintenance.
Commercial Applications: Title: Energy-Efficient Liquid Ejecting Technology for Printing Devices This technology can be utilized in commercial printing services, manufacturing industries, and healthcare facilities for precise liquid dispensing applications.
Prior Art: Readers can explore prior patents related to liquid circulation systems in printing devices to understand the evolution of this technology.
Frequently Updated Research: Stay informed about advancements in liquid ejecting technologies, energy-efficient printing solutions, and innovations in industrial printing processes.
Questions about Liquid Ejecting Technology: 1. How does the control unit determine the frequency of the circulating pump during printing operations? - The control unit analyzes the printing requirements and adjusts the pump's frequency accordingly to optimize performance. 2. What are the potential long-term benefits of implementing this technology in industrial printing applications? - Long-term benefits include cost savings, improved efficiency, and enhanced printing quality.
Original Abstract Submitted
a liquid ejecting apparatus includes: a circulation channel; a circulating pump configured to circulate a liquid in the circulation channel; and a control unit configured to perform control that drives the circulating pump at a first number of times of driving in a case of performing a printing operation in which the liquid is ejected onto a printing medium, and drives the circulating pump at a second number of times of driving smaller than the first number of times of driving in a predetermined case which is before performing the printing operation.
