    摘要: A liquid discharge head includes a plurality of nozzles to discharge liquid, a plurality of pressure chambers communicating with the nozzles, a plurality of individual flow paths communicating with the plurality of pressure chambers, and a common flow path communicating with the plurality of individual flow paths. Further, each individual flow path includes a first flow path portion and a second flow path portion each having a fluid resistance higher than a fluid resistance of a pressure chamber of the plurality of pressure chambers that communicates with the individual flow path, and a third flow path portion disposed between the first flow path portion and the second flow path portion, the third flow path portion having a fluid resistance lower than the fluid resistance of the first flow path portion and the third resistance of the second flow path portion.

    摘要: A droplet discharge head includes a plurality of discharge orifices, a plurality of pressure generation chambers, a supply liquid chamber, a plurality of supply channels, a circulation liquid chamber, and a plurality of circulation channels. The discharge orifices discharge droplets. The pressure generation chambers are communicated with the discharge orifices, to apply pressure to liquid in the pressure generation chambers. The supply liquid chamber stores liquid to be supplied to the pressure generation chambers. The supply channels are communicated with the pressure generation chambers. The circulation liquid chamber receives liquid collected from the pressure generation chambers. The circulation channels communicate the pressure generation chambers with the circulation liquid chamber. Each of the circulation channels includes a small cross-section portion that has a smaller cross-sectional area in a width direction perpendicular to a longitudinal direction of each of the circulation channels than another portion in the longitudinal direction.

    摘要: A liquid discharge head includes a nozzle to discharge a liquid, a pressure generation chamber facing the nozzle, a common liquid chamber to supply the liquid to the pressure generation chamber, a fluid restrictor communicating with the pressure generation chamber, and a guide channel communicating with the fluid restrictor and the common liquid chamber. The guide channel includes a first adjacent portion communicating with the fluid restrictor. The pressure generation chamber has a first resonance period, and the guide channel has a second resonance period different from the first resonance period.

    摘要: A liquid discharge head includes a nozzle plate, a channel plate, a common channel substrate, and a wall member. The nozzle plate includes a plurality of nozzles configured to discharge liquid. The channel plate includes a plurality of pressure chambers communicated with the nozzles, respectively. The common channel substrate includes a common channel communicated with the pressure chambers. The wall member includes a deformable region in a part of a wall surface of the common channel. The channel plate and the common channel substrate are disposed with the wall member interposed between the channel plate and the common channel substrate. The channel plate includes an air chamber facing the deformable region. The channel plate includes a bridge portion partially dividing the air chamber in a nozzle arrangement direction in which the nozzles are arranged. The bridge portion is not in contact with the wall member and the nozzle plate.
