Abstract
A fluid discharging system 10 includes a discharging device 30 configured to discharge fluid, a pump 20 configured to supply the fluid stored in a reservoir 22 to the discharging device 30, a supply line 40 connecting the discharging device 30 with the pump 20 to allow the fluid to pass therethrough, and a buffer tank 50, disposed at an intermediate location of the supply line 40, and configured to suck and discharge the fluid. The fluid discharging system 10 is capable of continuing supply of the fluid to the discharging device 30 by discharging the fluid from the buffer tank 50 to the supply line 40, while limiting the supply of the fluid from the pump 20 to the discharging device 30. The buffer tank 50 is capable of realizing a pressure acting state and a holding state.
Claims11
A fluid discharging system, comprising:
- a discharging device configured to discharge fluid;
- a pump, having a reservoir configured to store the fluid, and configured to supply the fluid stored in the reservoir to the discharging device;
- a supply line connecting the discharging device with the pump to allow the fluid to pass therethrough;
- and
- a buffer tank, disposed at an intermediate location of the supply line, and configured to suck and discharge the fluid,
- wherein a discharge continuous operation in which supply of the fluid to the discharging device continues is possible by discharging the fluid from the buffer tank to the supply line, while limiting the supply of the fluid from the pump to the discharging device, and
- wherein, based on an average discharge flow rate “a” of the fluid discharged from the discharging device while limiting the supply of the fluid from the pump to the discharging device in the discharge continuous operation, and a time limit “t” during which the supply of the fluid from the pump to the discharging device is limited in the discharge continuous operation, and a variable parameter “x,” a storage volume V of the fluid in the buffer tank is set using a relationship of V=a·(t+x).
