    Abstract: A continuous jet stream of a ferrofluid ink is broken into individual drops by an asymmetrical perturbation force applied to the stream. The ink, as it exits from an orifice under pressure, is excited by an electromagnetic transducer energized with an asymmetrical excitation signal having a fundamental and higher harmonics. An asymmetrical excitation signal, such as a sawtooth, having a substantial second and/or third harmonics content which produce an excitation signal with different rise and fall times can form a stream of drops free of satellites. Asymmetry of magnetic field forces can be produced with single stage or multistage transducers located at spaced positions along the stream. Asymmetry can also be produced using an electromagnetic transducer having a non-uniform gap.

    Abstract translation: 通过施加到流的不对称扰动力将铁磁流体油墨的连续喷射流分解成单独的液滴。 油墨在压力下从孔口排出时,被具有基波和高次谐波的非对称激励信号激励的电磁换能器激发。 具有实质上的第二和/或第三谐波内容的不对称激励信号,例如锯齿波产生具有不同上升和下降时间的激励信号,可以形成不含卫星的液滴流。 可以通过沿着流的间隔位置的单级或多级换能器产生磁场力的不对称性。 也可以使用具有不均匀间隙的电磁换能器来产生不对称性。

    Abstract: ELECTROMAGNETIC PRINT HAMMER COIL ASSEMBLY A heat exchange system for an electromagnetically operated print hammer of a print hammer bank provides internal and external heat transfer for the operating windings. A non-magnetic metal bobbin of the heat exchange system provides conductive transfer of heat from the interior of the operating winding to the magnetic core. Flat parallel plates of magnetic material are attached to the sides of the operating winding for external heat transfer and magnetic flux shielding. The plates may have multiple laminations having different saturation and permeability characteristics.

    Abstract: ELECTRO-MAGNETIC PRINT HAMMER An electro-magnetic print hammer comprises a single magnetic hammer element in which an impact mass is coupled to a pivotted armature by flexible stem. The hammer-stem has (N+1/2) periods of oscillation at its resonant frequency during the free flight time of the hammer mass. A permanent magnet with a strong magnetic force which decays rapidly with distance holds the hammer element fixed upon motion of the armature until the armature torque exceeds the magnet holding force to cause -the hammer mass to break loose with a snap action. Stop means prevents armature impacts with the operating pole piece of a stator core. The visco-elasticity of the armature stop matches the rebound characteristics of the print medium when impacted by the hammer mass.

    Abstract: In an ink jet recorder, a ferrofluid ink is supplied under pressure to a nozzle to form a continuous ink jet stream. The jet stream is subjected to two or more perturbation forces out-of-phase with each other causing the satellites and drops to fast merge. Plural electromagnetic transducers are located at spaced locations along the stream and energized to produce out-of-phase perturbations on the stream. The spacing of the transducers is differentially related to spacing of varicosities or ink drops produced by first transducer. The out-of-phase perturbations can also be obtained using an electromechanical transducer and electromagnetic transducers located out-of-phase or energized out-of-phase with each other.
