- 前面に列状に配置された複数個のノズルと、該各ノズル毎に対応する圧力室と、各圧力室から前記各ノズル毎に連通するインク流通路と、インク供給源からのインクを溜めたのち前記列状の複数のノズルに対応する複数の圧力室にインクを補充する共通インク室とを有した複数枚のプレートとを積層してなるキャビティユニットと、前記圧力室を有するプレートに対して積層し、且つ前記圧力室毎に選択的に駆動可能な活性部を有してインクを吐出させるアクチュエータとを備えたインクジェットプリンタヘッドにおいて、
前記共通インク室を有するプレートと、前記圧力室を有するプレートとの間に積層させるプレートには、前記共通インク室及び圧力室と隔絶された状態で、前記共通インク室と平面視においてほぼ重複し、且つ平面視において前記各圧力室と重なる面積が均一になる剛性調整用の空洞室を形成したことを特徴とするインクジェットプリンタヘッド。 - 前記空洞室は、前記複数の圧力室が並ぶ方向に平行に延びることを特徴とする請求項1に記載のインクジェットプリンタヘッド。
- 前記共通インク室は、前記複数の圧力室の列をなす面と平行なプレート面内に位置し、且つ、当該面と直交する方向に前記複数の圧力室と少なくとも一部が重なって、前記圧力室の列方向に沿って長く延び、
さらに前記共通インク室は、少なくともインク供給源から離れた端部において、当該インク供給源から離れる方向に、その断面積が徐々に減少する形状であり、
その共通インク室の断面積が減少する部分に隣接して、当該共通インク室が形成されるプレートの剛性の変化を補正する補助空室が形成され、
前記空洞室は、前記共通インク室と補助空室とに跨がって形成されていることを特徴とする請求項1または2に記載のインクジェットプリンタヘッド。 - 前記共通インク室を有するプレートと前記圧力室を有するプレートとの間に積層させるプレートには、前記共通インク室から前記各圧力室にインクを供給するインク通路を、共通インク室の長手方向に列状で、且つ共通インク室の前記長手方向と直交する幅方向の略中途部に形成し、
前記空洞室は、前記インク通路の列を挟んで前記共通インク室の長手方向と直交する部位に一対形成されていることを特徴とする請求項1乃至3のいずれかに記載のインクジェットプリンタヘッド。 - 前記共通インク室を有するプレートと前記圧力室を有するプレートとの間に積層させるプレートは、複数枚で構成され、前記空洞室はその複数枚のプレートの対向面に凹設されていることを特徴とする請求項1乃至4のいずれかに記載のインクジェットプリンタヘッド。
