An image recording device include a control section. The control section circulates the ink in the ink path by section of a circulation driving section, sets at least one of the heads selected based on a temperature of the heads as a temperature measurement head, and controls the temperature of the ink based on an output value from a corresponding one of the temperature sensors provided in the temperature measurement head.

An image recording apparatus of the present invention comprises an inkjet head which includes a nozzle plate where a plurality of nozzles that shoot ink are arranged in a column and an ink chamber which retains ink and is connected to the plurality of nozzles, at least one maintenance suction section which has a suction area larger than the nozzles, a suction section driving mechanism which causes the suction area to face the nozzles and moves the suction section relatively in the nozzle arrangement direction, and a positive pressure applying section which applies a positive pressure to the ink chamber. The maintenance suction section sucks in ink near the nozzles as moving in the nozzle arrangement direction, while the positive pressure is being applied to the ink chamber.

An ink jet printer includes ink jet heads for recording an image on a recording medium, an ink bottle for holding ink, an ink supply path connecting the ink bottle to each ink jet head, and an electromagnetic valve provided on the path. In the printer, the bottle, the valve and the heads are arranged downward in this order in the vertical direction, the path constantly exists upwards in the vertical direction in such a manner that air entered into the path moves up above the valve due to a difference in the specific gravity between the air and the ink, the path is provided with a branching portion provided between the valve and the heads, and a sub ink tank is provided at an end of the branching portion so as to be positioned lower than the heads in the vertical direction.

An ink jet head includes four plate-like piezoelectric bodies each having a primary surface having a plurality of parallel grooves formed therein in a predetermined direction, a end surface on which a one end of the groove is open, and an electrode formed on the inner surface of the groove. These piezoelectric bodies are stacked one upon the other on the primary surfaces under the state that the openings of these piezoelectric bodies are allowed to face the same direction, and that the primary surfaces of these piezoelectric bodies are allowed to face the same direction. Further, formed is a common liquid supply path allowing the plural grooves of the piezoelectric bodies to communicate with each other to form ink flow path.

A cover is pivotally supported on the main body frame to close an opening formed on the side of the main body frame, and pivotally supports a sheet convey unit positioned between the cover and the main body frame. A sheet inserted into the main body frame is conveyed along a guide path defined between the main body frame and the convey unit to an image forming section so that one surface of the sheet is printed. Then, the sheet is turned and transferred along the path defined between the cover and the convey unit. The sheet is again conveyed to the image forming section so that the other surface of the sheet is printed.

An electronic device is provided which is capable of reducing variations in the brightness of lights emitted from the light emitting parts. The electronic device has: a housing; a plurality of light sources provided within the housing, each light source emitting light along a light axis, the light axes of the light sources being directed in the same direction; and plurality of light guide plates provided within the housing, the light guide plates guiding the lights emitted from the light sources, respectively. Each light guide plate has a light incident plane on which the light emitted from the light source is incident and a light emitting part that is exposed at an outer surface of the housing. One of the light guide plates has a light incident plane angle that is different from the light incident plane angle of another light guide plate so that light axes of the lights that are guided within the light guide plates pass through the light emitting parts, wherein the light incident plane angle is an acute angle that is formed between the normal line of the light incident plane and the light axis of the light that is incident on the light incident plane.

An image forming apparatus estimates a temperature at nozzles in consideration of temperature changes in a recording head, by temperature sensors provided at an ink supply port and an ink eject port in the recording head. From the estimated temperature and a temperature difference between when feeding ink and when ejecting ink, a temperature control based on heating/cooling is performed by combining a fan and a heater with heating/cooling based on the peltier element, so as to fall within a drivable temperature range in which the nozzles properly discharge ink.

A cylindrical linear motor capable of solving the problem that a leak flux links an aluminum frame at both ends of an armature of a conventional cylindrical linear motor, which causes a viscous braking force as a motor brake force, is provided. The cylindrical linear motor armature 20 includes a plurality of cylindrical coils 20a arranged in the axial direction in a cylindrical yoke 20b formed by a magnetic material and frames 20d and 20e covering the outside of the cylindrical yoke 20b. Only in the axial direction region of the frame 20d where the cylindrical yoke 20b exists, the frame 20d is formed by an aluminum frame 20d, and the axial direction both end portions are formed by a resin cap 20e.
