摘要:
The present invention provides a reliable print head with improved reliability which is inhibited from being damaged by possible cavitation in ink inside a bubbling chamber, as well as a printing apparatus using the print head. A plurality of ink supply paths through which the ink is supplied to the bubbling chamber are connected to the bubbling chamber. Communication positions where the plurality of ink supply paths communicate with the energy acting chamber are formed such that distanced from a heater formation surface of the communication positions are different from each other along a direction orthogonal to the heater formation surface.

An object of the present invention is to provide an ink jet print head having plural types of nozzles arranged on the same substrate and through which ink droplets of different sizes are ejected, the ink jet print head exhibiting acceptable ejection performance regardless of the type of the nozzle. Thus, according to the present invention, each of the plural types of nozzles includes a bubbling chamber having an ejection energy generating element allowing an ink droplet to be ejected to a position located opposite an ejection port and an ejection port portion allowing the ejection port and the bubbling chamber to communicate with each other. Ratio of opening area of the ejection port portion at a position where the ejection port portion and the bubbling chamber communicate with each other, to the opening area of the ejection port is higher for the nozzle with a smaller ejection amount.

An ink jet recording head is provided with one heat generating member in each of ink flow paths, and the discharge port thereof is arranged on the extended line extending in the normal direction from the center of the main surface of the heat generating member to the surface of the substrate. Then, on the surface of the substrate, non-bubbling area is provided on the center within the projected area having the discharge port projected thereon. Bubble brought to the boil by the heat generating member pushes out ink from the discharge port by the pressure exerted by the bubble, while being communicated with the outside. With the structure thus arranged, it is made possible to enhance the precision of discharge direction of the liquid droplet discharged from the discharge port.

The present invention aims at providing an ink jet recording head which controls an impulse force generated at the time of disappearing of a bubble with keeping an energy efficiency of ink ejection high. The ink jet recording head has a discharge port from which ink is discharged, a pressure chamber by which energy for ejection is given to ink, and a nozzle portion which makes the pressure chamber and the discharge port communicate. The nozzle portion includes a major diameter portion with a sectional area larger than an area of the discharge port, and a minor diameter portion, whose sectional area is smaller than that of the major diameter portion, along an ink ejection direction, and the minor diameter portion is provided between the major diameter portion and pressure chamber.

摘要:
A recording head has a channel forming member and an element substrate. A discharge port through which liquid is discharged is formed in the channel forming member. An energy generating element for discharging the liquid is formed in the substrate. A gap forming member is arranged above the channel forming member. A moisture retention liquid retention portion which retains moisture in the vicinity of the discharge port is formed between the gap forming member and the channel forming member so as to be opened toward the discharge port side. Even if the state in which the liquid is not discharged continues, the liquid in the discharge port can be prevented from drying with the recording head having the above configuration.
