LIQUID DISCHARGE APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240208223 titled 'LIQUID DISCHARGE APPARATUS
Simplified Explanation: The liquid discharge apparatus described in the patent application includes a liquid discharge portion, a maintenance portion, a reception portion, and a waste liquid flow path. The apparatus is designed to discharge liquid, perform maintenance on the liquid discharge portion, receive waste liquid dripping from the maintenance portion, and guide the waste liquid to the waste liquid flow path.
- The liquid discharge portion features a nozzle that discharges liquid in a direction intersecting with the vertical direction.
- The maintenance portion is responsible for maintaining the liquid discharge portion.
- The reception portion is located below the maintenance portion and is designed to receive waste liquid.
- The waste liquid flow path guides the waste liquid received by the reception portion.
Key Features and Innovation:
- Nozzle for liquid discharge in a direction intersecting with the vertical direction.
- Maintenance portion for upkeep of the liquid discharge portion.
- Reception portion to collect waste liquid dripping from the maintenance portion.
- Waste liquid flow path to guide the waste liquid to the appropriate location.
Potential Applications: This technology can be used in various liquid discharge systems that require maintenance and waste liquid management.
Problems Solved: This technology addresses the need for efficient liquid discharge, maintenance, and waste liquid management in liquid discharge systems.
Benefits:
- Improved liquid discharge efficiency.
- Simplified maintenance procedures.
- Effective waste liquid management.
Commercial Applications: The technology can be applied in industrial liquid discharge systems, cleaning equipment, and other liquid management systems to enhance efficiency and waste management processes.
Questions about Liquid Discharge Apparatus: 1. How does the communication path in the reception portion guide the waste liquid to the waste liquid flow path? 2. What are the potential industrial applications of this liquid discharge apparatus technology?
Frequently Updated Research: There may be ongoing research in the field of liquid discharge systems and waste liquid management that could further enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of this technology.
Original Abstract Submitted
a liquid discharge apparatus includes a liquid discharge portion configured to discharge liquid, a maintenance portion that performs maintenance of the liquid discharge portion, a reception portion arranged on a lower side than the maintenance portion in a vertical direction and configured to receive waste liquid dripping from the maintenance portion, and a waste liquid flow path through which the waste liquid flows. the liquid discharge portion includes a nozzle configured to discharge the liquid in a discharge direction intersecting with the vertical direction. the reception portion includes a communication path that guides the received waste liquid to the waste liquid flow path. the communication path is provided at a lower portion of the reception portion.
