A metallic plate member having at least one through hole to be a part a common liquid reservoir of a liquid ejection head is provided. In a first die, a plurality of first projections are arrayed in a first direction with a fixed pitch. Each of the first projections is elongated in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction. The plate member is mounted on a second die, and a regulating member is inserted into the through hole. The first projections are pressed against a first region in a first face of the plate member which is adjacent to the through hole in the second direction, so as to generate a plastic flow of a material in the plate member into gaps defined between the first projections, while the plastic flow is regulated by the regulating member. A plurality of recesses formed by the first projections and a plurality of partition walls formed by the material flown into the gaps constitutes a part of the pressure generating chambers.

An object is to provide a fine forging method for forming partitions of recesses precisely and forming recess shapes for pressure generation chambers etc. with high accuracy as well as a liquid ejection head that is produced by using the fine forming method. A fine forging method for forming groove-shaped recesses that are arranged at a prescribed pitch. After groove-shaped recesses are formed tentatively in a material plate by a first punch in which tentative forming punches are arranged, finish forming is performed on the tentatively formed groove-shaped recesses by using a second punch in which finish forming punches are arranged. An end portion of a projection strip is formed with slant faces or a slant face, whereby an end portion of each groove-shaped recess is formed precisely. A liquid ejection head produced by the above method exhibits stable liquid ejection characteristics and its manufacturing cost can be reduced by virtue of simplified working of forging.

A liquid jetting head includes a nozzle plate, a liquid passage plate and a sealing plate. The nozzle plate is provided with a plurality of nozzle orifices. The liquid passage plate has a first face and a second face which are opposite to each other. The liquid passage plate is provided with a plurality of grooves which are arranged in a first direction perpendicular to a longitudinal direction of the groove on the first face, each groove having a communication port which passes through from the first face to the second face. The sealing plate for sealing opening faces of the grooves. The sealing plate is jointed to the first face so that a plurality of pressure generating chambers are formed. The nozzle plate is jointed to the second face such that the communication holes are communicated with the nozzle orifices respectively.

There is disclosed a punch for forging a metallic plate member. A first die is adapted to be opposed to a first face of the plate member. A second die is adapted to be opposed to a second face of the plate member. A plurality of first projections are provided on the first die and arranged in a first direction with a fixed pitch. Each of the first projections is elongated in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction. A plurality of second projections are provided on the second die and arranged in the first direction with the fixed pitch. Each of the second projections is elongated in the second direction and provided with a concave portion extending in the second direction at a distal end portion thereof. The plate member is sandwiched between the first die and the second die so that the first projections and the second projections are cut into the plate member in a third direction orthogonal to the first direction and the second direction, to perform a first forging work.

There is disclosed a method of manufacturing a chamber formation plate of a liquid ejection head. The chamber formation plate includes a first region formed with at least recess portions to be pressure generating chambers communicated with nozzles from which liquid droplets are ejected by pressure generated in the pressure generating chambers. A metal plate and a forging die are provided. A reference part is provided on the metal plate. The reference part defines a relative position between the first region and the forging die. At least one deformation absorber is provided at a second region of the metal plate where is between the first region and the reference part. At least one plastic working is performed by the forging die, with respect to the first region to form at least the recess portions, while plastic deformation of the metal plate caused by the plastic working is absorbed by the deformation absorber.

摘要:
A male die for forming a member incorporated in a liquid ejection head is disclosed. Each of a plurality of first forging punches is operable to form a first recess on a metal plate. The first forging punches are arranged at a fixed pitch to form a punch row in a first direction. Each of a plurality of second forging punches is operable to form a second recess on the metal plate. The second forging punches are arranged adjacently to first forging punches located at both ends of the punch row. The first recess is to be a first part of the member which is used to eject liquid from the liquid ejection head, and the second recess is to be a second part of the member which is not used to eject liquid.
