LIQUID EJECTION DEVICE AND CARRIAGE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240109353 titled 'LIQUID EJECTION DEVICE AND CARRIAGE

Simplified Explanation

The liquid ejection device described in the patent application includes a head for ejecting liquid, a board case for housing a board unit for driving the head, a first fan fixed to the board case for sending airflow into the board case, a carriage for housing the head and the board case, and a second fan for sending airflow into the carriage. The board unit is connected to the head via a board-to-board connector, and the second fan sends more airflow into the carriage than the first fan sends into the board case.

  • Head for ejecting liquid
  • Board case for housing board unit
  • First fan for sending airflow into board case
  • Carriage for housing head and board case
  • Second fan for sending airflow into carriage
  • Board-to-board connector connecting board unit to head
  • Second fan sends more airflow into carriage than first fan sends into board case

Potential Applications

The technology could be used in inkjet printers, 3D printers, and other liquid ejection devices.

Problems Solved

This technology solves the problem of efficiently cooling the components of a liquid ejection device while maintaining optimal performance.

Benefits

The device ensures proper cooling of the components, leading to increased longevity and reliability of the liquid ejection device.

Potential Commercial Applications

"Optimizing Airflow in Liquid Ejection Devices: Improving Performance and Longevity"

Possible Prior Art

There may be prior art related to cooling systems in electronic devices or liquid ejection devices.

Unanswered Questions

How does the board-to-board connector improve the performance of the device?

The board-to-board connector ensures a secure and efficient connection between the board unit and the head, allowing for seamless communication and operation.

What are the specific advantages of having two fans in the device?

Having two fans allows for better airflow management within the device, ensuring optimal cooling and performance.


Original Abstract Submitted

a liquid ejection device includes a head for ejecting liquid, a board case for housing a board unit for driving the head , a first fan fixed to the board case and for sending airflow into the board case , a carriage for housing therein the head and the board case , and a second fan for sending airflow taken from outside the carriage into the carriage , wherein the board unit is connected to the head via a board-to-board connector , and the amount of airflow sent into the carriage by the second fan is larger than the amount of airflow sent into the board case by the first fan
