  • Patent number: 11845273
    Abstract: The purpose of the present invention is to prevent the flow of air flowing from the outside of a cover part into the cover part via an ink droplet passing hole as air accompanying printing droplets outflows. An inkjet recording device is provided with: a recording mechanism (printing mechanism) having an ink room 101 that ejects an ink column 107, charging electrodes 103A and 103B that charge ink droplets 106 generated from the ink column 107, and deflection electrodes 105A and 105B that deflect charged ink droplets 106A; and a cover part 118 that has an ink droplet passing hole 117 through which the ink droplets 106A deflected by the deflection electrodes 105A and 105B pass and covers the recording mechanism. The inkjet recording device causes the ink droplets 106A to land onto a recording object 116 that moves relative to a recording head 100 to perform recording. A vent hole 130 is provided in a lateral surface of the cover part 118.

  • Publication number: 20220314633
    Abstract: There is provided a novel inkjet recording device capable of preventing an ink droplet from being attached to and firmly fixed to a bent pipe part formed at a gutter. The device has a configuration where separately from air flowing through an inflow opening 36 of a gutter 29, secondary air is supplied to a bent region 34bent of a bent pipe part 34, the secondary air flowing in the same direction as air flowing out from an outflow 34out side of the bent pipe part 34. The ink droplet is prevented from being attached and fixed to the bent pipe part 34 formed at the gutter 29 because the secondary air can increase a flow rate of an air flow in an inner peripheral surface region 40 on an inner side of the bent pipe part 34.

  • Publication number: 20200032755
    Abstract: Movement of a valve body in an unspecified direction due to a minute clearance existing between a valve body and a guide changes the flow of fuel flowing into injection holes every injection, thereby leading to variation in respective beams of spray from the injection holes and the flow rate of injection between the injection holes. Provided are a valve body that sits on or separates from a seat; a plurality of guides that slidably guide the valve body; and a plurality of flow channel portions each formed between each guide adjacent circumferentially. Then, among the plurality of flow channel portions, the cross-sectional area of the first flow channel portion on a horizontal plane orthogonal to the central axis of the valve body is smaller than each of the cross-sectional areas of the remaining flow channel portions on the horizontal plane.
