In addition, compare for columnar record head with floss hole part in the nozzle shown in Figure 11 A-11C 4, in the 4th embodiment, the cross section of the second floss hole part 10 of first type surface that is parallel to device substrate 2 is bigger, be that spatial volume is bigger, and the pressure loss is also very little, and printing ink can be discharged in the first floss hole part 4 well.Therefore, even the fluid resistance of floss hole part 4 on the floss hole direction increased, can prevent that also the flow velocity on the floss hole direction from reducing, but also can prevent the reduction of ink droplet mass rate of emission by the floss hole that further reduces the nozzle far-end.
In addition, in the 4th embodiment, by making the second floss hole part 10 greater than being parallel to floss hole length on the direction is set in the length that is provided with perpendicular to floss hole on the direction towards the open surface of foaming chamber 11, even therefore reduce its width, also can under the width restriction of the chamber 11 that do not foamed, increase the cross section of the second floss hole part 10 along with reducing of ink drop size.Thereby, can further reduce the total fluid resistance on the floss hole direction.
(the 5th embodiment)
In the fifth embodiment of the present invention, reduce these two the total fluid resistances that feed in the passage (feeding passage 9 and the auxiliary passage 12 that feeds) by an auxiliary mode that feeds passage is set, thereby can load operation again with high-frequency.With reference to Fig. 6 A-6C, mainly the part that is different from first embodiment among the 5th embodiment is described below.
Fig. 6 A-6C shows a structure of nozzle according to the ink jet print head of the 3rd embodiment.Fig. 6 A is a plane perspective view, in the figure, and by one in a plurality of nozzles that can see ink jet print head perpendicular to the direction of the first type surface of device substrate 2; The cutaway view of Fig. 6 B for being done along the hatching A-A among Fig. 6 A; Fig. 6 C is the cutaway view along Fig. 6 A section line B-B.
Shown in the plane perspective view of Fig. 6 A, has following shape: make length on the direction is being set greater than the length on the direction of being provided with that is parallel to the first floss hole part 4 perpendicular to the first floss hole part 4 towards the open surface of the second floss hole part 10 of foaming chamber 11.In this second floss hole part 10, to similar towards the open surface of foaming chamber 11, and its cross-sectional area is less than the cross-sectional area towards the open surface of foaming chamber 11 towards the end face of the first floss hole part 4.In Fig. 6 A, by the plane that is in substantially parallel relationship to the profiled surface of heater 1 with the second floss hole part 10 being cut the cross section that obtains is rectangle substantially.
Refill operation for finishing, except printing ink feeds passage 9, also be provided with an auxiliary inks and feed passage 12 with high-frequency.
Below, the operation of the first floss hole part 4 from the record head with said structure being discharged ink droplet with reference to Fig. 1 and Fig. 6 A-6C is illustrated.
At first, being transported to the printing ink that feeds in the chamber 6 is fed in each nozzle 5 of first nozzle row, 7 and second nozzle row 8.Be fed to printing ink in each nozzle 5 by being filled in the foaming chamber 11 along feeding flowing of passage 9.Heater 1 makes printing ink produce film boiling, and this film boiling is constantly grown up bubble, and the printing ink that the pressure that bubble is constantly grown up will be filled in the foaming chamber 11 is discharged from first floss hole 4 with the form of ink droplet.When the printing ink in being filled in foaming chamber 11 was discharged from, the part printing ink in the foaming chamber 11 flowed to by the pressure in bubbles that produces in foaming chamber 11 and feeds passage 6 and the auxiliary passage 12 that feeds.If can see the mode that the printing ink in the nozzle discharges from foaming to from the part, the pressure in bubbles that produces in foaming chamber 11 also will be delivered to the second floss hole part 10 at once so, and the printing ink that is filled in the foaming chamber 11 and the second floss hole part 10 will move in the second floss hole part 10.
Compare for columnar record head with the first floss hole part 4 in the nozzle shown in Figure 11 A-11C, in the 5th embodiment, the cross section of the second floss hole part 10 of first type surface that is parallel to device substrate 2 is bigger, be that spatial volume is bigger, and the pressure loss is also very little, and printing ink can be discharged in the first floss hole part 4 well.Therefore, even the fluid resistance of the first floss hole part 4 on the floss hole direction increased by the floss hole that further reduces to be positioned at the nozzle far-end, also can prevent flow velocity reducing on the floss hole direction, but also can prevent the reduction of ink droplet mass rate of emission.
In the 5th embodiment, by two minimizing problems that feed the droplet of ink amount (supply of small ink droplet) that passage solves discharge are set, can reduce two total fluid resistances that feed passage, refill operation thereby can finish with high-frequency.In the 5th embodiment, can length on the direction is set make towards the open surface of the second floss hole part 10 of foaming chamber 11 and be increased greater than being parallel to floss hole by making in the length that is provided with perpendicular to floss hole on the direction, but also can shorten two length that feed passage (promptly feeding passage 9 and the auxiliary passage 12 that feeds), wherein the fluid resistance of this two passes greater than the second floss hole part 10 in the fluid resistance that is provided with perpendicular to nozzle on the direction.Like this, just can reduce from feeding mouthful 6 whole fluid resistances that feed passage, but also can realize the high-frequency operation that refills to floss hole.
