A liquid discharge head comprises discharge ports for discharging the liquid, a bubble producing area for producing an air bubble in the liquid of liquid flow channels, and a movable member, which is disposed toward the bubble producing area, and displaceable between a first position and a second position farther away from the bubble producing area than the first position, the liquid discharge head discharging the liquid in such a manner that the movable member is displaced from the first position to the second position by a pressure due to a bubble produced in the bubble producing area, and the bubble is more greatly expanded downstream than upstream in a direction toward the discharge port, due to the displacement of the movable member. The head has a check valve disposed in a liquid supply passage leading to the liquid flow channels.

A liquid discharging head has a heat generating member in which there is a bubbling region involved in the generation of the bubble. A center of the width of the heat generating member and a center of the width of an effective bubbling region with respect to a flow direction of the liquid are identical. The conditions of the bubble generation region are given as follows: the width of the effective bubbling region≦a width of the bubble generation region
摘要:
A liquid discharging method which employs a liquid discharging head consisting of a liquid discharging port, a bubble generating region where the bubble generates in the liquid and a movable member that can move between a first position and a second position which is located at a point farther from the bubble generating region compared with the first position, wherein the movable member moves from the first position to the second position by the pressure of the bubble generated by the bubble generating energy in the bubble generating region, and at the same time the bubble expands farther toward the downstream direction compared with the upstream direction by the displacement of the movable member in order to discharge the liquid out of the liquid discharging port by the liquid discharging energy applied to such liquid. The movable member has its free end in the downstream side with respect to its fulcrum and the liquid is discharged by applying the discharging energy corresponding to a saturation domain where the amount of the liquid to be discharged out of the liquid discharging port is substantially saturated in accordance with the increase of the discharging energy.

摘要:
A liquid discharging method is provided with heat generating elements for creating air bubbles for discharging liquid, discharge ports arranged corresponding to the heat generating elements, first liquid flow paths conductively connected with the discharge ports, second liquid flow paths arranged corresponding to the heat generating elements, and a separation wall to separate the first and second liquid flow paths. This separation wall is provided with the free end, which is caused to be displaced to the first liquid flow side by pressure exerted by air bubbles created by the heat generating elements, thus leading the pressure toward the discharge port side for discharging liquid from the discharge ports. For this liquid discharging method, liquids are supplied to the second liquid flow paths and to the first liquid flow paths from different sides, respectively, in order to stabilize the flow of liquid for the enhancement of the discharging efficiency and power, while reducing the influence of cavitation with respect to the heat generating elements to make the life thereof longer.
摘要:
A liquid discharge method for discharging a liquid through a discharge port for discharging the liquid utilizing a bubble by displacing a movable separation film for always substantially separating a first liquid flow path in communication with said discharge port for discharging the liquid from a second liquid flow path comprising a bubble-generating region for generating the bubble in said liquid, on the upstream side of said discharge port with respect to flow of the liquid in said first liquid flow path, comprises a step of displacing a downstream portion of said movable separation film toward said discharge port relatively more than an upstream portion of said movable separation film with respect to a direction of the flow of the liquid.
