Abstract:
Provided are a liquid ejection head and a liquid ejection apparatus which make it possible to suppress deterioration of image quality. Therefore, a plurality of second beam-shaped members is provided on the downstream side of a first beam-shaped member which divides a flow passage connected to an ejection element substrate into two flow passages in a liquid-flowing direction so as to sandwich a line extending the first beam-shaped member in the liquid-flowing direction.
Abstract:
There is provided a method for manufacturing a molded member having a hollow part. The method comprises a step for molding the hollow part by extracting a first piece, a second piece, a third piece and a fourth piece of a mold in four different directions. The second piece has an elongated shape in its extracting direction, the second piece and the fourth piece have extracting directions substantially opposed to each other, and at the molding, each of the first piece, the second piece, the third piece and the fourth piece abuts on at least one of the first piece, the second piece, the third piece and the fourth piece.
Abstract:
First and second constituting components are injection-molded and joined within one pair of molds. In order to join the first and second constituting components, one of the respective regions of the first and second constituting components abutted to each other is pushed into the other.
Abstract:
There is provided a manufacturing method for molding a liquid supply member by using a first mold and a second mold in which the first mold is capable of being slid relatively to the second mold, the method including a first molding step of performing injection molding to form a first and second component parts of the liquid supply member at different positions from each other, an evacuating step of sliding the formed second component part in a direction intersecting with a direction of sliding of the first mold relative to the second mold and with a direction of the opening and the closing the first and the second mold, a contacting step of bringing the formed second component part into contact with the molded first component part, and a second molding step of performing injection molding to join the first component part and the second component part.
Abstract:
Provided is a configuration of a liquid ejecting head enabling a stable, continuous ink supply with the off-carriage method, even if force operates in the direction of joint needle insertion and removal. To this end, a joint opening that accepts insertion of a joint needle on a printing apparatus side is placed at a position closer to a joint face between an ejecting head and a sub tank unit than a positioning opening that engages with a positioning member on the printing apparatus side. Consequently, even if external force is produced due to coupling, the force exerted on the joint face that is a weak portion of an inkjet (IJ) head may be minimized.
Abstract:
To provide a liquid ejecting head and a liquid ejecting apparatus that can suppress the influence of noise on a control signal. The liquid ejecting head has: a plurality of terminals for being electrically connected with a contact point provided in a liquid ejecting apparatus; and a liquid ejecting element substrate having a liquid ejecting element formed for ejecting liquid in response to a control signal transmitted from the liquid ejecting apparatus. The plurality of terminals includes a signal terminal and a ground terminal for control, for controlling the liquid ejecting element; and the signal terminal and the ground terminal for control are arranged in positions closer to the liquid ejecting element substrate than other terminals.
Abstract:
