Nozzle wall 8033 forms a part of the lever means, the lever device is mounted to a
The stent 8036, the holder 8036 has a generally U-shaped profile, attached to the silicon nitride layer having
8031 on the base of 8037.
Lever means further includes a lever arm 8018, the lever arm 8018 extends from the nozzle walls
And a combination of a transverse reinforcing beam 8022. 8018 lever arm attached to a pair of passive beams 806,
The passive beam 806 and the titanium nitride is formed on either side of the nozzle means, which in Figure 13 and 18
Best seen. The other end of the passive beam 806 is attached to the bracket 8036.
Lever arm 8018 is also attached to the actuator beam 807, which is formed of titanium nitride. Note that this
And actuators attached to the beam generated at such a point: that point than with passive beam 806 is attached above a
A small but critical distance.
Most clearly in Figures 13 and 16 shown, the actuator beam 807 in plan view is substantially U-shaped,
The electrode 809 and the counter electrode 8041 of a current path between the identified. Each electrode 809 and
Contact layer 8041 is electrically connected to the respective 8030 points. As it via the contact 809 is electrically coupled
Sample, the actuator beam is also mechanically anchored to an anchor-shaped member 808. Anchor-shaped member 808 is configured to spray when
Nozzle in operation to limit the actuation of the beam 807 to the left of Figure 18 to 20 of the motion.
The actuation of the beam 807 is electrically conductive titanium nitride, but has a sufficiently high resistance, when the electric
Flow between the electrodes 809 and 8041 when it subjected to self-heating through. No current flows through the passive beams
806, so it does not expand.
In use, the apparatus is in the pause state 8013 filled with ink, the surface tension in the film
Formed under a half-moon ring 803. Since half-moon, the ink remain within the cavity 8029, and in the absence
Other physical effects which generally will not leak.
Shown in Figure 11, the ink is ejected from the nozzle in order, the contact points between 809 and 8041 by
Current, the current through the actuator beam 807. Because of its resistance, self-heating beam 807 causes the beam
Expansion. Actuating the size and design of the beam 807 means that most of the expansion occurs at 18 to 20
Horizontal direction. Expansion anchor-shaped member 808 is restricted to the left, so that the lever arm adjacent Rev. 8018
Moving beam 807 is pushed to the right.
Passive beam 806 in the horizontal direction relative rigidity prevents it allows the lever arm 8018 is generated
More horizontal movement. However, passive beams and actuator beam and the lever arm attachment points, respectively, the relative position of
Shift produces a distorted campaign, the twisting motion causes the lever arm 8018 generally downward movement. The transport
Activity is effectively a pivoting or hinged. However, the lack of true pivot point means that the
Rotation around a passive bending beam 806 defining a pivot region.
The downward movement of the lever arm 8018 (and slight rotation) by the passive arm 806 to the nozzle
8033 wall distance amplification. Nozzle wall and downward movement of the top in the cavity causes increased pressure on the guide
To protruding half-moon as shown in Figure 11. Note that the surface tension of the ink means the fluid seal 11 is
The campaign stretch, but does not allow the ink leakage.
Shown in Figure 12, at the right time, the drive current is stopped and the actuator beam 807 rapid cooling
Cooling and contraction. The contraction causes the lever arm returns to its rest position, the cavity 8029 which in turn results in the
Pressure reduction. And projecting the inherent power of the ink surface tension interactions, and a nozzle
Upward movement of chamber 8029 due to the negative pressure resulting tapered protruding half-moon shape and eventually fracture
802 into a droplet, the droplet 802 continued upward until it contacts adjacent print media.
Immediately after separation of the ink droplets 802, 803 form a meniscus concave shape shown in Figure 12.
Surface tension causes the pressure in the chamber 8029 to remain relatively low until ink through inlet 8014
Sucked up, which makes the nozzle means and the ink back to the rest position shown in Figure 10.
Most clearly shown in Figure 13, the nozzle device also incorporates a testing organization, the test agency
