LIQUID JET HEAD AND LIQUID JET APPARATUS
A liquid jet head includes: a nozzle plate including a nozzle array, the nozzle array including a plurality of nozzle holes each extending in a Z direction, the nozzle holes being arranged side by side in an X direction; a head chip disposed in a +Z direction with respect to the nozzle plate and including ejection channels communicating with the respective nozzle holes; a manifold disposed in a +Y direction with respect to the head chip, the manifold being configured to support the head chip by a face facing a −Y direction and including an ink flow path communicating with the ejection channels; and a drive board supported on the face facing the −Y direction of the manifold and electrically connected to the head chip.
LIQUID JET HEAD AND LIQUID JET APPARATUS
A liquid jet head includes: a head chip including a channel to be filled with ink; a manifold that supports the head chip and includes an ink flow path communicating with the ejection channel; and a heater and a drive board that are supported on the manifold and heat ink inside the ink flow path. The ink flow path extends in a meandering manner.
Liquid ejecting head and liquid ejecting apparatus
A plurality of head chips including: a nozzle plate having a plurality of nozzles configured to eject a liquid in a first direction, and a case having one or more first flow paths communicating with at least a part of the plurality of nozzles; a holder to which the plurality of head chips are fixed, which includes metal or ceramics, and which has a plurality of second flow paths communicating with at least one of the plurality of first flow paths; and a heater configured to heat the holder.
LIQUID EJECTING APPARATUS
A liquid ejecting apparatus includes an ejecting unit that ejects liquid when a drive signal is supplied to the ejecting unit, a drive signal output unit that outputs the drive signal, a cooling unit that cools the drive signal output unit, and a power supply unit that supplies power to the cooling unit. The liquid ejecting apparatus has a first mode in which the drive signal output unit outputs a first drive signal of a first frequency, and a second mode in which the drive signal output unit outputs a second drive signal of a second frequency lower than the first frequency. An amount of power supplied by the power supply unit to the cooling unit in the first mode is larger than an amount of power supplied by the power supply unit to the cooling unit in the second mode.
LIQUID DISCHARGE HEAD, LIQUID DISCHARGE DEVICE, AND LIQUID DISCHARGE APPARATUS
A liquid discharge head includes a nozzle from which a liquid is dischargeable in a liquid discharge direction, an individual chamber communicating with the nozzle, a common chamber configured to store the liquid to be supplied to the individual chamber, a pressure generator configured to apply pressure to the liquid in the individual chamber, a holder holding the pressure generator, a first temperature detector adjacent to the common chamber, the first temperature detector configured to detect temperature proximate to the common chamber, and a second temperature detector held by the holder, the second temperature detector configured to detect temperature of the holder.
Ink jet apparatus
An ink jet apparatus includes: a head that discharges liquid; a circuit substrate that has a drive circuit for driving the head; a heat sink which has a part that is in direct or indirect contact with the circuit substrate and is able to dissipate heat generated in the circuit substrate; and a fan that generates air flow capable of cooling the heat sink. The heat sink is configured such that the air flow is not directly blown against the drive circuit and such that the air flow having changed a direction after blown against the heat sink is not blown against the drive circuit.
PRINT HEAD ASSEMBLY
A print head assembly comprises a print head unit, a cooling duct, and a blower arranged to pass a gaseous cooling medium through the cooling duct.
The cooling duct has an elongated closed hollow cross-section bounded on at least one side by a flat wall. The print head unit is attached to the flat wall outside of the cooling duct such that the print head unit is cooled by the gaseous medium passing through the cooling duct via thermal contact through the flat wall of the cooling duct.
Liquid discharge head
A liquid discharge head includes: individual channel rows; a common channel; a supply port via which liquid is supplied to the common channel; and a discharge port via which the liquid is discharged from the common channel. Each of the individual channel rows is formed of individual channels aligned in a first direction, each of the individual channels includes a nozzle, and the individual channel rows are arranged in a second direction crossing the first direction. The common channel extends in the first direction, and extends in the second direction over an entire length of an area in which the individual channel rows are arranged. The common channel overlaps with the individual channel rows in a third direction orthogonal to both of the first and second directions, and communicates with the individual channels constructing each of the individual channel rows.
SINGLE JET RECIRCULATION IN AN INKJET PRINT HEAD
An inkjet print head including a plurality of single jet elements. Each of the single jet elements includes an aperture configured to eject ink during a jetting event, and a channel for receiving ink, the channeling including a recirculation portion configured to receive ink during a non-jetting event. The print head also includes a first manifold structured to supply ink to the channel, and a second manifold structured to receive ink from the recirculation portion of the channel. The ink flows from the inlet portion to the second outlet portion during non-jetting through the second outlet portion.
Liquid discharge head and method of manufacturing the same
A liquid discharge head includes a wiring portion; a print element board including an element for applying discharge energy to liquid; and an electric wiring board including a connecting portion connected to the wiring portion and electrically connecting the wiring portion and the print element board. The connecting portion is provided with a cut portion at a position between both end portions in a width direction of the connecting portion, and a length of the cut portion in the width direction is shorter than a length of the cut portion in a direction orthogonal to the width direction.
