Abstract
【解決手段】ノズルと連通する圧力室と、前記圧力室の一面を構成する振動板と、前記振動板を変形させる圧電素子とを備え、前記圧電素子により前記振動板を変形させて前記圧力室内の液体を前記ノズルより吐出する液体吐出ヘッドであって、前記液体の温度に対する粘度の増減傾向と、前記圧電素子の温度に対する圧電d定数の増減傾向が所定の関係にある温度領域において、前記圧電素子を駆動して前記液体を吐出するようにしたことを特徴とする液体吐出ヘッドを提供することにより前記課題を解決する。
【選択図】図9
Description
Tm ≦ T ≦ (TCとTBの低い方)
で表される範囲とする。
である。さらに、供給口のイナータンスをMsとする。
ここで、インクが高粘度の場合には、上の式において、expの部分は0に近づき、インクが低粘度の場合には、上の式において、expの部分は1に近づく。
は比例関係にある。また、図11に、インク粘度と吐出体積Volとの関係を示す。図11のグラフAは、図10のグラフと同じ条件の下における関係を表し、グラフBは、グラフAの条件に対して圧力室のコンプライアンスCcの条件のみを変更したものである。
