Definitions

  • This invention relates to a high speed, multipurpose, fluid dispensing apparatus, notably, to a printing apparatus of the type used to dispense ink for printing graphic images onto a target substrate.

  • a plurality of nozzles through which ink can be intermittently and selectively ejected.
  • electrically operated solenoid valves located between the ink source and the ink nozzles to dispense ink toward the target substrate.
  • Such devices are relatively simple in construction and reliable in operation. However, they have been limited by the valve response time and, as a result, only relatively larger size characters, i.e., those having a height of from about 13mm to about 70mm, could be printed.
  • the present invention provides a dispensing apparatus for dispensing a medium characterised in that it comprises:
  • the openings in the tube plate are of greater relative diameter than the openings in the orifice plate.
  • a plurality of rigid tubes are provided, each of the rigid tubes connecting a selected one of the solenoid output ports with a selected one of the tube plate openings.
  • the tubes are made of stainless steel.
  • a valve cradle is preferably provided for positioning the solenoid valves within the dispensing apparatus.
  • the valve cradle has a plurality of valve receptacles for receiving the respective output ports of the plurality of solenoid valves.
  • the tube means connect each of the tube plate openings with a selected one of the valve receptacles in the valve cradle.
  • the valve cradle preferably includes a cradle wall containing the valve receptacles, the cradle wall having an inside face and an outside face and the receptacles comprising a series of stepped bores between the inside face and outside faces.
  • the valve receptacle bores decrease in internal diameter from the inside face to the outside face and resilient seal means surround the valve output ports within the valve receptacles.
  • a base portion depends from the valve cradle wall and has a plurality of arcuate troughs adapted to receive the solenoid valves.
  • the arcuate troughs are preferably arranged in side-by-side fashion with the longitudinal axes of the troughs being parallel to form a scalloped cross-sectional pattern.
  • the tube means are rigidly affixed to the receptacle bores on the cradle wall outside face. Biasing means are provided for urging the solenoid valves in the direction of the cradle wall receptacles.
  • the valve for use in the liquid dispensing apparatus has an elongated outer jacket with opposing ends.
  • a plunger bore is centrally located within the jacket and communicates between the opposing ends.
  • An end cap located on one of the jacket opposing ends has an output port therein which communicates with the plunger bore.

  • the plunger stop cylindrical portion has a stop end opposite the threaded end, the stop end being of lesser relative external diameter than the cylindrical portion.
  • the plunger has a generally cylindrical body with a plunger face for contacting the interior of the end cap to seal the outlet port and an opposite plunger end of lesser relative diameter than the cylindrical body, whereby a spring can be fitted about the stop end and about the plunger end within the plunger bore, the spring serving to urge the plunger face toward the end cap to seal the output port.

  • the rigid tubes connecting the valve cradle with the tube plate reduce resilience problems caused by the use of flexible tubing which hitherto hes caused the tubing to act as an accumulator, resulting in the residual ejection of fluid from the orifices after the valves were closed which reduces the maximum operating speed of the system.
  • the novel valve cradle design provides a means for joining the rigid tubes to the valve outlet ports while, at the same time, providing ease of insertion and removal of the individual solenoid valves.
  • the coated printed circuit board reduces electrical shorts in case of liquid contact with the board.
  • a printed circuit board has been found to more effectively isolate the electrical signals being sent to the valves from the electrical control means to prevent shorts.
  • the epoxy sealed valves are likewise insulated from liquid contamination.
  • the minimum profile of the dispensing apparatus allows a series of dispensing apparatus to be stacked one upon the other to allow multiple line printing with a minimum space between lines. Using the dispensing apparatus of the invention, the space between lines can be kept to 0.254 mm or less. The faster response time of the solenoid valves of the invention allows smaller, more precisely defined characters to be printed.
