Title: Tête d'impression à jet d'encre avec vaporisateur thermique basse tension
Inventor: SILVERBROOK KIA
IPC: B41J2/14
Filed: 2008-04-14
Abstract: L'invention concerne une tête d'impression à jet d'encre comprenant une pluralité de buses et un ou plusieurs éléments chauffants (10) correspondant à chaque buse. Chaque élément chauffant est conçu pour chauffer un liquide de formation de bulle (11) dans la tête d'impression à une température supérieure à son point d'ébullition de sorte à y former une bulle de gaz (12). La production de cette bulle provoque l'éjection d'une goutte d'un liquide éjectable (tel que de l'encre) à travers l'ouverture d'éjection (5) correspondante, d'où la réalisation d'une impression. L'élément chauffant (10) de chaque buse requiert une impulsion électrique d'une tension inférieure à 10 volts et d'une durée inférieure à 1,5 microsecondes pour former la bulle de vapeur qui provoque l'éjection de la goutte. Sachant que la conception d'une tête d'impression ne requiert pas nécessairement des tensions d'impulsion d'entraînement supérieures à environ 12 volts, il est avantageux d'imaginer une tête d'impression dont le fonctionnement ne requiert pas une tension élevée.
