Abstract

PURPOSE:To easily attain the integration or miniaturization of head by making the area of an ink pressurizing chamber smaller by a method in which a vibration transmitter bar to transmit the vibration of a vibrating unit to an elastic material is molded integrally with the elastic material and set to the wall of an ink pressurizing chamber. CONSTITUTION:A vibration transmitter bar 4 and an elastic material 5 are integrally molded to form an elastic material 10 with vibration transmitter bar. The elastic material 10 is bonded to the upper plate of a head. For this reason, the Young's modulus of the elastic material becomes smaller than metals, and the liquid chamber can be made smaller. The drive voltage can also be reduced.

Further, the vibration unit 3 receives a signal voltage from a drive circuit (not shown) and is displaced using the support 9 as a fulcrum, and in response to the displacement, the elastic body 5 is bent and the volume of the ink pressurizing chamber 2 is reduced.
The pressure inside the ink pressurized liquid chamber increases and ink is ejected from the nozzle l. The above-mentioned inkjet ejection head has a rigid body affixed to a part of the wall of the ink pressurized liquid chamber of the head base, and is connected to the vibration unit via an indirect member such as a vibration transmission rod, thereby reducing the vibration. This frees up space for mounting the unit, making it easier to integrate and downsize. Conventionally, the upper slope of the head, the head base were photosensitive glass, the elastic body was stainless steel, and the vibration rod was a metal rod. The head was made up of members made of various materials such as, and these members were joined together to form the head. Among these, the head upper plate, the head substrate, and the elastic body were joined by inert gas or vacuum. They were bonded by heat fusion using high-temperature, long-term heat treatment. In addition, the elastic body 5 and the vibration transmission rod 4 were connected by adhesive bonding, but the head base was made of photosensitive glass, metal elastic body bonded,
Furthermore, the process of joining the vibration transmission rod and vibration unit is complicated, making it extremely difficult to mass-produce.
