摘要:
A micro-dispenser for dispensing predetermined amounts of fluids under the control of a controller. The micro-dispenser comprises a base and a high-density array of tube assemblies. The base, having a plurality of holes, is electrically connected to the controller. The tube assemblies, pre-filled with predetermined fluids, are detachably disposed in the holes and separately electrically connected to the base. The tube assemblies dispense the fluids through the base under the control of the controller. The tube assemblies are replaceable.

An inkjet cartridge for dispensing a predetermined amount of reagents is provided. The inkjet cartridge comprises an inkjet print head and an array of capillary tubes. The print head is provided with a plurality of channels. The capillary tubes, filled with predetermined reagents, are disposed on the inkjet print head so as to communicate with the channels respectively and provide capillarity sufficient to prevent the reagents in the capillary tubes from leaking through the channels but not so great as to prevent the reagents in the capillary tubes from dispensing through the channels.

An apparatus and method for introducing micro-volume liquid. The method includes the following steps. A multi-channel inkjet print head is provided. The multi-channel inkjet print head includes a nozzle plate and a cartridge. The nozzle plate includes a plurality of nozzles. The cartridge includes a plurality of channels, communicating with the nozzles on the nozzle plate, and a plurality of openings located at the channels. The nozzle plate contacts with a buffer. The buffer is introduced into the channels via the nozzles on the nozzle plate by pressure. Reagents are introduced into the channels through the openings.
摘要:
A porous back-shooting inkjet print head module is disclosed. The ink permeates through the porous ink supply layer into an ink chamber in contact with the outside by an injection hole, and the porous ink supply layer prevents the ink from flowing back. Therefore, the ink chamber is sealed very well and more pressure could be generated. The invention can thus be used for inks with high viscosities. It does not need a precision alignment process as in the prior art. This does not only increase the efficiency and yield of production, but also reduces the cost.

An inkjet dispensing apparatus. The inkjet dispensing apparatus includes a cartridge, a chip, and a sensor controller. The cartridge includes a first s channel and a second channel. The first channel has a first kind of liquid therein, and the second channel has a second kind of liquid therein. The chip is disposed on the cartridge, and includes a first conductor and a second conductor. The first conductor is in contact with the first kind of liquid, and the second conductor is in contact with the second kind of liquid. The sensor controller is coupled to the first conductor and the second conductor to detect leakage between the first channel and the second channel.
摘要:
The ink cartridge is provided with a pressure controller to regulate the inner pressure therein by atmospheric pressure while the ink stored in the ink cartridge is gradually drained off. The ink is stored in a container with negative pressure therein, and at least one through hole formed on the container is used to connect to the atmosphere, and at least one recess is formed on the inner wall of the through hole. The pressure controller has a plug movably disposed on the through hole and the recesses. The recesses are used as a channel to allow the entrance of the atmospheric air, and the plug can be automatically moved so as to enlarge the clearance between the plug and the through hole while the ink stored in the ink cartridge is gradually drained off. The inputted air can effectively reduce the negative pressure in the container, and therefore the printing process of the ink cartridge can be proceeding steadily.
摘要:
A leakage detection apparatus and method for a multi-channel inkjet cartridge. The leakage detection apparatus includes a plurality of electrodes and a controller. Each of the electrodes is disposed in one of channels of the inkjet cartridge respectively, and contacts a reagent in the corresponding channel. The controller is coupled to the electrodes, and detects leakage between channels.
