Liquid Ejecting Head - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240326426 titled 'Liquid Ejecting Head

Simplified Explanation:

The liquid ejecting head described in the patent application includes a piezoelectric element, a diaphragm, a reinforcing film, and a pressure chamber substrate. The reinforcing film is positioned in a specific way to enhance its structural integrity.

  • The liquid ejecting head comprises a piezoelectric element, diaphragm, reinforcing film, and pressure chamber substrate.
  • The reinforcing film is oriented along a specific direction and overlaps a boundary within the pressure chamber.
  • The reinforcing film has varying thickness and slope values at different positions within the pressure chamber.

Key Features and Innovation:

  • Specific positioning and orientation of the reinforcing film within the liquid ejecting head.
  • Varying thickness and slope values of the reinforcing film to enhance structural integrity.
  • Optimization of the reinforcing film to improve the performance of the liquid ejecting head.

Potential Applications:

The technology described in the patent application could be used in various inkjet printing systems, 3D printing applications, and other liquid dispensing devices.

Problems Solved:

This technology addresses issues related to the structural integrity and performance of liquid ejecting heads by optimizing the design of the reinforcing film.

Benefits:

  • Improved structural integrity and performance of liquid ejecting heads.
  • Enhanced reliability and longevity of inkjet printing systems and other liquid dispensing devices.

Commercial Applications:

Potential commercial applications of this technology include inkjet printers, 3D printers, industrial printing systems, and other liquid dispensing devices used in various industries.

Original Abstract Submitted

a liquid ejecting head includes a piezoelectric element, a diaphragm, a reinforcing film, and a pressure chamber substrate. the reinforcing film is formed along a first direction, overlaps a boundary between the partition wall and the pressure chamber, and satisfies y1>y2 and 0<a1<a2 where y1 is a first thickness of the reinforcing film in the lamination direction at a first position, y2 is a second thickness of the reinforcing film in the lamination direction at a second position closer to the center of the pressure chamber than the first position, a1 is an absolute value of a slope of a first tangent line, to an inclined surface as a surface of the reinforcing film that is not in contact with the diaphragm, at the first position, and a2 is an absolute value of a slope of a second tangent line at the second position.
