    摘要: In the embodiments of the simplified ink jet head described in the specification, a carbon body is formed with ink passages, such as internal passages extending through a carbon plate, pressure chambers on one side of a carbon plate, flow-through passages on the other side of the same plate and ink supply passages, and a piezoelectric plate is affixed to the pressure chamber side of the carbon plate by a thin layer of epoxy adhesive. The piezoelectric plate may have a conductive coating on one side which is photo-etched to produce an electrode pattern corresponding to the pattern of the pressure chambers in the carbon plate. An orifice plate may have specially profiled orifice openings to assure axial projection of drops and may be affixed by a thin layer of epoxy adhesive to a carbon plate having orifice passages supplying ink from the pressure chambers to the orifices. Since the carbon plate is conductive, it can be used, if desired, as an electrode on the opposite side of the piezoelectric plate and, to assure grounding of the piezoelectric plate, a conductive epoxy adhesive may be used to bond the piezoelectric plate to the carbon plate. Moreover, since the carbon plate is porous, it can provide a communication path between a vacuum source and an air-permeable, ink-impermeable layer on the ink passages to remove dissolved air from the ink in the passages. In one alternative embodiment, an ink jet head assembly contains two separate carbon pressure chamber plates, a carbon manifold plate and a carbon collar to retain the carbon plates in an assembly.

    摘要: In the ink jet printing system described in the specification, a hot melt ink jet printhead having two ink reservoirs is coupled through an ink supply line to a remote hot melt ink supply and a temperature controller is arranged to control the temperatures of the ink in the remote ink supply, the supply line, the ink reservoirs in the printhead and passages leading from the reservoirs to the ink jet orifices at selected temperature levels to inhibit high-temperature degradation of the ink while permitting the ink to be jetted at the desired jetting temperature. In addition, a pressure control system controls the pressure of the ink in the printhead at one or more selected levels to permit the printhead to be used at different orientations and to permit purging of air bubbles and contaminants from the orifice passageways and to supply a relatively high vacuum to a deaerator in the printhead to extract dissolved air from the ink. A check valve in the ink supply line permits the printhead to be positioned at different elevations with respect to the remote ink supply without causing any undesired flow of ink between the reservoir and the printhead.

    摘要: In the representative ink supply system described in the specification, continuous circulation of ink in an ink jet head is accomplished by providing two reservoirs connected to each ink jet orifice through corresponding passages so that ink flows continuously from a high-level reservoir past the orifice to a low-level reservoir. The difference between the levels of ink in the reservoirs is maintained relatively constant by inertial pumping during reciprocal motion of the ink jet head or by pressure transfer of ink from one reservoir to the other reservoir. Cross-flow purging of air or debris from the ink jet head is effected by covering the ink jet orifices and applying air pressure to one reservoir to cause ink and any trapped air or debris to flow from the head to the other reservoir. A pump responsive to reciprocal motion of the ink jet head generates a positive air pressure which is applied during purging and a negative air pressure which is applied to a deaerator for removing dissolved air from the ink.
