Abstract

In a liquid drop spraying or ejecting device, an introducing hole 12 is provided in orthogonal direction relative to the lower face of a pressure chamber lOn, and is vertically connected to the upper face of a flow path 20. Immediately underneath the introducing hole 12, a shock wave absorption face 21 with a depth D that is twice the diameter L of the introducing hole 12 is formed as a protrusion of the lower face of the flow path 20. In addition, the shock absorption face 21 is wider than the diameter of the circle of the introducing hole 12, and a stepped portion 22 is formed at its periphery. In this manner, in a device having a plurality of the pressure chambers and the liquid is pressurised by a piezoelectric/electrostrictive element for the purpose of spraying, back flow generated at the flow path from the introducing hole is reduced.
