摘要:
An ink jet head (3, 103, 200, 30) includes an electroviscous fluid chamber (5) provided at a part of a sidewall of an ink chamber (21), and having electroviscous fluid (30) sealed therein, an elastic film (28) provided between the ink chamber (21) and the electroviscous fluid chamber (5) for transmitting pressure between the ink chamber (21) and the electroviscous fluid chamber (5), a pair of electrodes (26, 26A) provided at a part of a sidewall of the electroviscous fluid chamber (5) corresponding to the ink chamber (21) for applying an electric field to the electroviscous fluid (30), a pressure generation device (31, 31A, 35, 135, 201, 316) for discharging ink from the ink chamber (21), and a control device (6) for controlling ink discharge by applying a voltage to the pair of electrodes (26, 26A) to alter the viscosity of the electroviscous fluid (30) in response to record information.
摘要:
An ink jet head includes an ink supply path (11), a pressure chamber (10), an orifice and an oscillator (7). By bending a portion of the wall surface of the pressure chamber (10) by oscillation of oscillator (7), ink is emitted. A portion of the wall surface of pressure chamber (10) is formed by an oscillating plate (4) of resin, and a unimorph including an elastic plate (5) and oscillator (7) provided on oscillating plate (4). Sidewalls (25) separating the inside of pressure chamber (10) are provided, and the dimension between the sidewalls is made shorter than the dimension of the unimorph.
摘要:
A photoconductive layer is formed on the entire outer peripheral surface of a light transmissive drum, and a conductive layer is formed on the photoconductive layer and is made up of a plurality of strip-like conductive portions. Provided around the drum are a tank for storing thermo-melting ink, a blade which removes surplus ink on the outer peripheral surface of the drum, a drier for drying the ink filling the gaps between the conductive portions in the conductive layers, a platen roller which presses against the outer peripheral surface of the drum with a sheet of recording paper in between, and a light source which is provided inside the drum, facing the inner peripheral surface thereof. When the light source is selectively operated in accordance with image information, current is made to flow between the conductive portions in the conductive layer via the photoconductive layer at image recording areas, thus causing the ink filling the gap to be transferred to the recording paper.

An ink jet recording device has heating device (14a, 14b, 15a, 15b, 19, 20) for heating ink at a suction pipe (10), a suction pump (12) or a cap member (9). With this structure, an unsatisfactory operation of the ink jet recording device due to coagulation of ink can be prevented even when heat melting ink, or ink presenting plastic-flowability at the ordinary temperature, is used for the ink jet recording device.

摘要:
An ink jet nozzle unit (10-14) is provided with an ink-shortage-detecting thorough hole comprising nozzle-shaped thorough holes (21,23), filter (25) and nozzle passage (26) and also with a pair of electrodes (17,18) in the middle thereof. This thorough hole, communicating with other nozzle passages including passage (24) equipped with PZT (15), is usually filled with ink, while the air is introduced into the thorough hole via orifice in the absence of ink.
摘要:
An ink-jet recording head device capable of ejecting an ink from an orifice (34) opened on a slit (32), the ink being fed from an ink feeding port provided at a lower location than the orifice by means of pressure generated in response to an electrical signal, includes an ink conducting path (35, 35a, 35b, 35c) for communicating the ink feeding port with the slit. The ink conducting path includes a first conducting path (35, 35a, 35c) formed to conduct the ink from the ink feeding port to the upper place than the slit and then to the slit.
