    摘要: Techniques for improving reliability of print cartridges that employ a fluid recirculation path within the cartridges. One reliability feature is provided by active heat management, wherein the recirculation path is employed to provide printhead cooling. Another feature is an in-printer printhead and standpipe priming technique. Idle time tolerance can also be improved, with the ability to re-circulate ink and purge air, to provide a mode of operation that can improve the reliability of the print cartridge during idle times. A “cleaning fluid” can be introduced that could break-up the sludge as it circulates through the print cartridge. Improved particle filtering is provided, through fluid recirculating through the system, passing through the standpipe or plenum area and across the backside of the printhead. As the fluid moves through this region, particles trapped in the standpipe get swept out of the area and eventually through a filter before reaching the printhead again.

    摘要: An over-molded fluid control value for use in fluid delivery systems. An embodiment of the fluid control valve includes a rigid substrate having a opening defined therein, and a valve structure fabricated of an elastomeric material. The valve structure is over-molded over at least a portion of the rigid substrate and including a valve portion extending over the opening, the valve portion movable in response to a differential fluid pressure to allow fluid flow.

    摘要: A re-circulating fluid delivery system includes an air-fluid separator structure, a fluid plenum in fluid communication with the separator structure, and a free fluid reservoir. A fluid re-circulation path fluidically couples the separator structure, the fluid plenum and the free fluid reservoir. A pump structure re-circulates fluid through the re-circulation path during a pump mode, wherein air bubbles may be separated from re-circulated fluid.

    摘要: A seal septum structure includes a septum body structure fabricated of a resilient material. The body structure includes an opening formed there through and a first seal surface circumscribing the opening to engage against a needle when inserted into the opening. The body structure further includes a second seal surface for engaging against a stopper structure when the needle is not inserted into the opening. The septum structure can be over-molded on a rigid host part, or fabricated as a separate structure from the host part, and pressed in to place.

    摘要: A fluid delivery system and method, which employs a print head assembly (PHA) and an fluid supply for intermittent connection. A pump structure re-circulates fluid through the re-circulation path during a pump mode. The fluid supply includes a supply reservoir for holding a supply of fluid, and is connectable to the PHA to provide a fluid interconnect between the supply reservoir and the PHA fluid reservoir when a pressure differential between the PHA and the supply reservoir is sufficient to draw fluid into the PHA free fluid reservoir to replenish the fluid in the PHA fluid reservoir.

    摘要: Over-molded regulator bags for a fluid delivery system are disclosed that are formed by over-molding a resilient bladder of an elastomeric material on a supporting rigid host substrate. The over-molding process allows three dimensional lung designs to be created without extra processes, and without stressing the membrane material. Embodiments of the invention eliminate the need for an external spring to create an opposing pressure to deflate the bags when required. The inherent elasticity of the over-molded bladders act as the restoring force to return the expanded bag back to its original form.
