RECORDING APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240326432 titled 'RECORDING APPARATUS
Simplified Explanation:
The patent application describes a recording apparatus with a liquid ejection head that ejects liquid onto a medium, and a facing portion that faces the liquid ejection head. The liquid ejection head includes a head chip with nozzles in a plate member facing the facing portion, and a protrusion member that extends from the plate member to the facing portion, avoiding the nozzles in the head chip.
- The recording apparatus includes a liquid ejection head with multiple nozzles for ejecting liquid onto a medium.
- A facing portion is positioned to face the liquid ejection head.
- The head chip, containing the nozzles, is located in a plate member facing the facing portion.
- A protrusion member extends from the plate member to the facing portion, avoiding the nozzles in the head chip.
- The protrusion member is rib-shaped and extends in a direction intersecting the medium transport direction.
Potential Applications:
This technology could be used in various printing applications, such as inkjet printers, 3D printers, and industrial printing systems.
Problems Solved:
This technology helps prevent interference with the liquid ejection process by providing a protrusion member that avoids the ejection nozzles, ensuring accurate and efficient liquid deposition.
Benefits:
- Improved accuracy and efficiency in liquid ejection processes - Reduced risk of nozzle interference and clogging - Enhanced overall performance of recording apparatus
Commercial Applications:
Potential commercial applications include inkjet printers for home and office use, industrial printing systems for large-scale production, and 3D printers for additive manufacturing processes.
Questions about the Technology: 1. How does the protrusion member in the liquid ejection head contribute to the efficiency of the liquid ejection process? 2. What are the potential implications of this technology for the printing industry in terms of cost and performance improvements?
Original Abstract Submitted
a recording apparatus includes a liquid ejection head including a plurality of nozzles configured to eject a liquid onto a medium; and a facing portion disposed to face the liquid ejection head, wherein the liquid ejection head includes, in a plate member facing the facing portion, a head chip including the nozzles; and a protrusion member protruding from the plate member to the facing portion, the protrusion member being a rib-shaped member disposed to avoid the nozzles provided in the head chip, and the protrusion member extends in a direction intersecting the medium transport direction.
