Abstract
Description
本実施形態の液体噴射ヘッドの一例であるインクジェット式記録ヘッドについて図1〜図5を参照して説明する。なお、図1は、本発明の実施形態1に係る液体噴射ヘッドの一例であるインクジェット式記録ヘッドのノズル面側から見た平面図である。図2は、図1のA−A′線断面図である。図3は、図2の要部を拡大した図である。図4は、図3の流路内の流線を説明する図である。図5は、比較例の流路内の流線を説明する図である。
保護基板30の圧電アクチュエーター300に対向する領域には、圧電アクチュエーター300の運動を阻害しない程度の空間を有する圧電アクチュエーター保持部31が設けられている。圧電アクチュエーター保持部31は、圧電アクチュエーター300の運動を阻害しない程度の空間を有していればよく、当該空間は密封されていても、密封されていなくてもよい。また、圧電アクチュエーター保持部31は、X方向に並設された複数の圧電アクチュエーター300の列を一体的に覆う大きさで形成されている。もちろん、圧電アクチュエーター保持部31は、特にこれに限定されず、圧電アクチュエーター300を個別に覆うものであってもよく、X方向で並設された2以上の圧電アクチュエーター300で構成される群毎に覆うものであってもよい。
図9は、本発明の実施形態2に係る液体噴射ヘッドであるインクジェット式記録ヘッドの要部を拡大した断面図である。なお、上述した実施形態と同様の部材には同一の符号を付して重複する説明は省略する。
このような第1部分2031は、+Y方向の端部が第1共通液室101に連通する。
図10は、本発明の実施形態3に係る液体噴射ヘッドの一例であるインクジェット式記録ヘッドの要部を拡大した断面図である。
以上、本発明の各実施形態について説明したが、本発明の基本的な構成は上述したものに限定されるものではない。
