    摘要: A piezoelectric inkjet head and a method of manufacturing the piezoelectric inkjet head. The piezoelectric inkjet head includes three single crystal silicon substrates bonded to each other. An upper substrate includes an ink inlet, a plurality of pressure chambers, and a plurality of piezoelectric actuators, a middle substrate includes a manifold, a plurality of restrictors, and a plurality of first dampers, and a lower substrate includes a plurality of nozzles. The middle substrate also includes a membrane that is formed under the manifold to mitigate a rapid pressure change in the manifold and if formed of a material different from the material used for forming the middle substrate. A cavity located under the membrane and at least one venting channel that connects the cavity to the outside are formed in the middle substrate or the lower substrate. Due to the above configuration, the membrane having flexibility mitigates a rapid pressure change in the manifold caused by backflow of ink, and thus, cross-talk between adjacent pressure chambers during ink ejection can be effectively prevented.

    摘要: A restrictor with a structure to prevent a back flow of ink and an inkjet head including the restrictor. In the inkjet head, an ink channel is formed in a channel plate, and the ink channel includes an ink inlet, a plurality of pressure chambers, a manifold, a plurality of restrictors respectively connecting the pressure chambers to the manifold, and a plurality of nozzles. Piezoelectric actuators are formed on the channel plate. Each of the restrictors includes a plurality of protrusions formed on an inner surface thereof in a structure suitable to increase a flow resistance of the restrictor when ink flows from the pressure chamber to the manifold through the restrictor. Each of the protrusions includes a first surface facing a flow of ink moving through the restrictor in a direction from the manifold to the pressure chamber, and a second surface facing a flow of ink moving through the restrictor in a direction from the pressure chamber to the manifold. The first surface has a low flow resistance, and the second surface has a high flow resistance. Therefore, a black flow of ink is restricted when ink is ejected, and sufficient ink can be supplied through the restrictor during an ink refill process.
