摘要:
A fluid ejection apparatus includes a fluid distribution layer between a fluid manifold and a substrate. The fluid distribution layer includes fluid supply channels and fluid return channels. Each fluid supply channel receives fluid from the fluid supply chamber and circulates a fraction of the received fluid back to the fluid return chamber through a return-side bypass. The substrate include a plurality of flow paths, each flow path includes a nozzle for ejecting fluid droplets. Each flow path receives fluid from a respective fluid supply channel, and channel un-ejected fluid into a respective fluid return channel. Each fluid return channel can collect the un-ejected fluid from one or more flow paths and a supply-side bypass, and return the collected fluid back to the fluid supply chamber.

A fluid droplet ejection apparatus includes a substrate having a fluid inlet passage, a plurality of nozzles, and a plurality of flow paths each fluidically connecting the fluid inlet passage to an associated nozzle of the plurality of nozzles. Each flow path includes a pumping chamber connected to the associated nozzle and an ascender fluidically connected between the fluid inlet passage and the pumping chamber. The ascender is located proximate to an outside edge of the fluid inlet passage.

A printing device for jetting a liquid includes a flow path body having a plurality of jetting flow paths, a liquid in the plurality of jetting flow paths, a piezoelectric actuator associated with each jetting flow path, a feed substrate having a plurality of fluid inlets, and a driver configured to apply a voltage pulse to the piezoelectric actuator. The first jetting flow path is adjacent to the second jetting flow path and a fluidic travel distance from the piezoelectric actuator of the first jetting flow path to a nozzle of the second jetting flow path is greater than a speed of sound in the liquid times the break off time of a droplet of the fluid from the nozzle.

摘要:
A fluid ejection apparatus includes a substrate having a nozzle surface and a passage through the substrate for fluid flow, the passage having a nozzle that includes an opening in the nozzle surface of the substrate, and an actuator to cause fluid in the passage to be ejected from the nozzle. The nozzle includes side walls extending away from the opening, the side walls sloping outwardly as the side walls extend away. An aspect ratio of a length of the opening to a width of the opening is at least 2:1.
