This such embodiment 20 in; Through injecting from the printing ink that stores mechanism (not shown) from printing ink introducing port 48 via holding member 60; And from manifold 40 to nozzle opening 26 fill up inside by printing ink after; According to tracer signal from drive IC 35a, and to applying voltage with pressure generating chamber 22 corresponding each piezo-activators 30, so that deflection deformations take place for elastic membrane 28, insulator film 29 and piezoelectric actuator 30; Thereby the pressure in each pressure generating chamber 22 raises, and droplets of ink is from nozzle opening 26 ejections thus.
In addition, constituting on each parts of this 20, two places in the bight of the both sides on long side direction are provided with locating hole 52, and the pin that said locating hole 52 supplies to be used for when assembling, each parts being positioned inserts.And, implement relative positioning through selling to insert in the locating hole 52, and parts are engaged with each other, thereby make 20 to be integrally formed each parts.
Moreover the liquid jet face 27a side of nozzle opening 26 openings of the nozzle plate 27 20 is fixed with the cover cap 70 as fixed head.
Cover cap 70 have with the edge part of the plate-shaped member of rectangular shape headward 20 side bending erect the box-formed shape that forms, its underrun adhesive 80 and with surface engagement as the nozzle plate 27 of liquid jet face 27a.
Particularly, cover cap 70 comprises: expose nozzle opening 26, opening be rectangular shape expose peristome 71; Formation is exposed peristome 71 and along as the edge part of the nozzle plate 27 of liquid jet face and the frame section 72 of the rectangular shape that is provided with.In addition, on cover cap 70, the side of the liquid jet face 27a in 20 is provided with side wall portion 73, and said side wall portion is extended to be arranged to, and is crooked at the whole peripheral portion of liquid jet face 27a.
Frame section 72 has following size, that is, its periphery is greater than the periphery as the nozzle plate 27 of liquid jet face 27a, and interior week, promptly exposes the periphery of peristome 71 less than nozzle plate 27 by what frame section 72 formed.Thus, frame section 72 is mutually opposed with the peripheral portion of nozzle plate 27, and is bonded together with the edge part of nozzle plate 27 through adhesive 80.In addition, frame section 72 is set at the position of stopping up locating hole 52 to stop up the size of 20 locating hole 52.That is, because on the surface of nozzle plate 27 (liquid jet face 27a), a pair of corners opening at the both ends on long side direction has two locating holes 52, so frame section 72 is set up with the width that stops up this locating hole 52.
Such frame section 72 has the eaves portion 74 that protrudes the eaves shape from liquid jet face 27a.In this embodiment,, thereby form eaves portion 74 through frame section 72 20 opposition side extension setting headward with the side on the short side direction of liquid jet face (a long limit).And in fact frame section 72 amounts on the four edges at two long limits and two minor faces of liquid jet face, all gives prominence to and be arranged to the eaves shape from liquid jet face 27a.But for three limits beyond the eaves portion 74, the overhang of frame section 72 is preferably as far as possible and reduces.Its reason is, when frame section 72 is big from the outstanding overhang of liquid jet face 27a, will reduce in the rigidity of outstanding location frame section 72; Thereby following fault might take place; That is, owing to paperboard etc. is out of shape, or cover cap 70 is peeled off etc. owing to distortion.In addition, 20 self surface areas also will increase, thus cause adjoining each other 20 between the interval of nozzle opening 26 increase.Therefore, the frame section 72 beyond the eaves portion 74 reduces the outstanding overhang from liquid jet face 27a, thereby compares with other frame section 72, and eaves portion 74 increases from the outstanding overhang of liquid jet face.In addition, the overhang of eaves portion 74 needs the size of a locating hole 75 can be set, and can not cover a locating hole 75 so that be set at the adhesive 81 of 20 side of back literary composition narration.
