An ink ejection recording apparatus is disclosed which comprises a plurality of ink ejection heads commonly connected to an ink tank, each of the ink ejection heads having an ink nozzle through which minute ink droplets are discharged in accordance with an electric signal and an air nozzle opposing to the ink nozzle and adapted for forming an air stream which accelerates the ink droplets towards a recording medium so as to record an image on the recording medium by means of the droplets. The ink ejection heads are arranged at different heights and the ink ejection heads have different levels of balance pressure so that the levels of the ink pressure acting on the ink nozzles of the ink ejection head are equalized in the operating state of the apparatus. Pressure relieving means are provided for relieving pneumatic pressure applied to the ink ejection heads and to the ink tank and being arranged such that relief of pressure from said ink tank is conducted after relief of pressure from said ink ejection heads.

An ink jet recording apparatus has an ink jet unit from which tiny independent ink droplets, suspended by a flow of air, are made to fly towards a recording medium, thereby recording information on the medium. The apparatus has a heat washing unit disposed at a position beyond one end of a recording medium mounting portion, so that the ink jet unit which has been moved to this position after completion of the recording operation is washed by the head washing unit which is movable towards and away from the ink jet unit at this position, whereby a high stability and reliability of the ink jet recording are ensured for a long period of time without suffering from clogging of nozzles or contamination of the recording medium. The stability and reliability are further enhanced by the simultaneous use of an ink mist suction unit which sucks ink mist around the ink jet unit and an anti-clogging unit which prevents clogging of the nozzles.

The ultrasonic probe of the present invention includes an ultrasonic element unit for transmitting and receiving ultrasonic waves, an oscillation mechanism for causing oscillation to the ultrasonic element unit and a detector for detecting the oscillation of the ultrasonic element unit. The detector detects the oscillation angle and the oscillation origin of the ultrasonic element unit, and when the oscillation range of the ultrasonic element unit is divided at its oscillation origin into two regions of a positive region and a negative region, the detector detects in which area the ultrasonic element unit is located. In use of the ultrasonic probe, a control of origin return for returning the ultrasonic element unit to its oscillation origin is performed on the basis of the result of the detection by the detector.
摘要:
In an ultrasonic probe including an element part 1 for transmitting and receiving ultrasonic waves, a relay cable 2 connected to the element part 1 and an oscillation mechanism part for oscillating the element part, a cross section of the relay cable 2, which is taken perpendicularly to a rotation axis 3 of the oscillation that is provided to the element part 1 by the oscillation mechanism part, has at least two arc-shaped parts smoothly connected each other, more specifically, S-shape arc-shaped parts or reversed S-shaped parts. In addition, the relay cable 2 is drawn from the surface of the element part 1 facing the rotation axis 3. In this manner, the stress applied to the relay cable 2 during the oscillation of the element part 1 can be dispersed, thereby improving durability of the relay cable 2.
