As used herein, the singular forms “a,” “an,” and “the” are intended to include the plural forms as well, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise.
Embodiments of the present disclosure are described below with reference to the attached drawings. A liquid discharge head according to a first embodiment of the present disclosure is described with reference to
The liquid discharge head 1 includes a nozzle plate 10, an individual-channel member 20 (channel plate), a diaphragm member 30, a common-channel member 50, a damper 60, a common-channel member 70, a frame 80, and a flexible wiring board 45 (wiring). Hereinafter, the “liquid discharge head” is simply referred to as a “head.”
A head driver 46 (driver IC) is mounted on the flexible wiring board 45 (wiring).
The nozzle plate 10 includes a plurality of nozzles 11 to discharge a liquid. The plurality of nozzles 11 are arrayed in a two-dimensional matrix.
The individual-channel member 20 (channel plate) includes a plurality of pressure chambers 21 (individual chambers) respectively communicating with the plurality of nozzles 11, a plurality of individual-supply channels 22 respectively communicating with the plurality of pressure chambers 21, and a plurality of individual-collection channels 23 respectively communicating with the plurality of pressure chambers 21 (see
The diaphragm member 30 forms a vibration portion 31 serving as a deformable wall of the pressure chamber 21, and the piezoelectric element 42 is formed on the vibration portion 31 so that the piezoelectric element 42 and the vibration portion 31 form a single body (see
Note that the individual-channel member 20 and the diaphragm member 30 are not limited to be separate members. The diaphragm member 30 includes a member made of materials that are film-formed on a surface of the individual-channel member 20.
The common-channel member 50 also serves as a common-branch channel member. The common-channel member 50 includes common channels such as a plurality of common-supply branch channels 52 that communicate with two or more individual-supply channels 22 and a plurality of common-collection branch channels 53 that communicate with two or more individual-collection channels 23. The plurality of common-supply branch channels 52 and the plurality of common-collection branch channels 53 are alternately arrayed adjacent to each other (see
As illustrated in
As illustrated in
The damper 60 mainly functions to attenuate a pressure wave from the pressure chamber 21 to the common-supply branch channel 52 and the common-collection branch channel 53 (see
As illustrated in
The common-channel member 70 (see
The frame 80 includes the part 56a of the common-supply main channel 56 and the part 57a of the common-collection main channel 57 (see
In the head 1, the liquid supplied from the supply port 81 (see
A configuration of channels in the head 1 according to the first embodiment of the present disclosure is described with reference to
As described above, the common-supply branch channel 52 and the common-collection branch channel 53 are alternately arrayed adjacent to each other (see
The plurality of common-supply branch channels 52 includes three types of common-supply branch channels 52a, 52b, and 52c having different channel lengths from an end closest to the supply port 81 to which the liquid is supplied from an outside of the head 1 in an array direction “D2” of the common-supply branch channels 52 and the common-collection branch channels 53. The array direction of the common-supply branch channels 52 and the common-collection branch channels is indicated by arrow “D2” in
Here, a channel length of the common-supply branch channel 52 is longer in an order of the common-supply branch channel 52a (shortest), 52b (next shortest), and 52c (longest).
Thus, the common-supply branch channel 52a (first common-supply branch channel) has the shortest channel length among the plurality of common-supply branch channels 52, and the common-supply branch channel 52a is disposed at one end (left end in
The head 1 further includes bypass channels 73 and 74. The bypass channel 73 is on a supply side, and the bypass channel 74 is on a collection side. The bypass channels 73 and 74 connect the common-supply branch channel 52 and the common-collection branch channel 53 adjacent to each other.
Thus, the head 1 includes two bypass channels 73 to connect two common-supply branch channels 52 disposed on both sides of one common-collection branch channel 53, for example. Thus, the head 1 includes two bypass channels 74 to connect two common-collection branch channels 53 disposed on both sides of one common-supply branch channel 52, for example.
The bypass channel 73 includes an opening 73a communicating with the common-supply branch channel 52, an opening 73b communicating with the common-collection branch channel 53, and a channel 73c connecting through the opening 73a with the opening 73b.
The bypass channel 74 includes an opening 74a communicating with the common-supply branch channel 52, an opening 74b communicating with the common-collection branch channel 53, and a channel 74c connecting through the opening 74a with the opening 74b.
The bypass channel 73 connects the common-supply branch channel 52 and the common-collection branch channel 53 at an inlet (upper side in
The bypass channel 74 connects the common-supply branch channel 52 and the common-collection branch channel 53 at an out1et (lower side in
In the head 1 according to the first embodiment, the channel lengths of two common-supply branch channels 52a and 52b are different. Two common-supply branch channels 52a and 52b are disposed on both sides of the common-collection branch channel 53c1 in an array direction of branch channels including the common-supply branch channels 52 and the common-collection branch channels 53.
Thus, a channel resistance of the bypass channel 73 (referred to as “bypass channel 73F”) communicating with the common-supply branch channel 52a having a short channel length is made higher than a channel resistance of the bypass channel 73 (73c) communicating with the common-supply branch channel 52b having a longer channel length than the common-supply branch channel 52a.
A cross-sectional area of a channel may be reduced to increase the channel resistance, for example.
Next, an effect of the head 1 according to the first embodiment is described with reference to
The nozzles 11 (nozzle numbers N1 to N22) disposed close to the supply port 81 (see
As illustrated in
The nozzles 11 of the nozzle numbers N1 and N2 of the pressure chamber 21 communicate with the common-supply branch channel 52a. Then, among the nozzle numbers N1 and N2 of the pressure chamber 21 communicating with the common-supply branch channel 52a, a meniscus pressure in the nozzle 11 of the nozzle number N1 closest to the supply port 81 (the leftmost nozzle 11 in
The same tendency as described above is observed in the channel resistance on the collection port side.
An effect of changing the channel resistance of the bypass channel 73F on the supply side is described below. In
As illustrated in
A section from a connection part (collection opening 55) between the pressure chamber 21 of the nozzle 11 of the nozzle number N1 and the common-collection branch channel 53c1 and a branch out1et (lower end of the common-collection branch channel 53c1 in
In the head 1 in the first embodiment, the channel resistance R1 in the section 1 is larger than the channel resistance R2 in the section 2 (R1>R2). Regarding a flow rate Q flowing through the bypass channel 73F, a flow rate Q before changing the channel resistance R is referred to as a flow rate Q1, and a flow rate Q after changing the channel resistance R is referred to as a flow rate Q2. Then, the flow rate Q1 becomes higher than the flow rate Q2 (Q1>Q2) because the flow rate Q decreases with an increase in the channel resistance R.
Regarding a pressure of the connection part (supply opening 54) between the pressure chamber 21 of the nozzle 11 of the nozzle number N1 and the common-supply branch channel 52a (see
When the pressure Vin1 and the pressure Vin2 are compared, if the channel resistance R of the bypass channel 73F is increased, the flow rate Q flowing through the bypass channel 73F is reduced. Thus, the flow rate Q flowing through the section 1 is reduced, and a pressure loss in the section 1 is reduced. Since the pressure Vin becomes closer to a pressure on the channel inlet side, the pressure Vin1 becomes smaller than the pressure Vin2 (Vin1<Vin2).
When the pressure Vout1 and the pressure Vout2 are compared, if the channel resistance R of the bypass channel 73F is increased, the flow rate Q flowing through the bypass channel 73F is reduced. Thus, the flow rate Q flowing through the section 2 is reduced, and a pressure loss in the section 2 is reduced. Since the pressure Vout becomes closer to a pressure on the channel out1et side, the pressure Vout1 becomes larger than the pressure Vout2 (Vout1>Vout2).
Since the channel resistance R1 is larger than the channel resistance R2 (R1>R2) in the head 1 according to the first embodiment, influence of a change in the flow rate Q flowing through the bypass channel 73F can be expressed by a following equation, (Vin2−Vin1)<−(Vout2−Vout1).
Thus, an effect of lowering the pressure on the Vout side is greater than an effect of increasing the pressure on the Vin side. Thus, an average pressure applied to the pressure chamber 21 deceases with an increase in the channel resistance of the bypass channel 73F.
As illustrated in
That is, difference in the meniscus pressure between the nozzles 11 arranged in a two-dimensional matrix becomes small. At this time, since a discharge speed and a discharge volume of the head 1 is sensitive to the meniscus pressure, the head 1 can reduce variations in a discharge characteristics such as the discharge speed and the discharge volume.
The head 1 according to a second embodiment of the present disclosure is described with reference to
The plurality of common-supply branch channels 52 includes three types of common-supply branch channels 52a, 52b, and 52c having different channel lengths from an end closest to the supply port 81 to which the liquid is supplied from an outside of the head 1 in the array direction D2 of the common-supply branch channels 52 and the common-collection branch channels 53.
Here, a channel length of the common-supply branch channel 52 is shorter in an order of the common-supply branch channel 52a (shortest), 52b (next shortest), and 52c (longest).
In the head 1 according to the second embodiment, the channel lengths of two common-supply branch channels 52b and 52c are different. Two common-supply branch channels 52b and 52c are disposed on both sides of the common-collection branch channel 53c2 in the array direction D2 of the branch channels including the common-supply branch channels 52 and the common-collection branch channels 53.
Two common-collection branch channels 53c2 and 53c3 are disposed on both sides of the common-supply branch channel 52c in the array direction D2 of the branch channels. Two common-supply branch channels 52c2 and 52c3 are disposed on both sides of the common-collection branch channel 53c in the array direction D2 of the branch channels.
Thus, in addition to the first embodiment, a channel resistance of the bypass channel 73 (referred to as “bypass channel 73 S”) communicating with the common-supply branch channel 52b having a short channel length is made higher than a channel resistance of the bypass channel 73 communicating with the common-supply branch channel 52c having a longer channel length than the common-collection branch channel 53b in the head 1 according to the second embodiment. Thus, the bypass channel 73 includes the bypass channel 73S (third bypass channel) separated from the bypass channel 73F (first bypass channel). The bypass channel 73S (third bypass channel) has a channel resistance larger than the channel resistance of the bypass channel 73 (second bypass channel).
Thus, the head 1 in the second embodiment includes the bypass channel 73 S communicating with the common-supply branch channel 52b having a shorter channel length next to the common-supply branch channel 52a. The channel resistance R of the bypass channel 73 S is made higher than channel resistances R of other bypass channels 73. However, the channel resistance R of the bypass channel 73 connecting the common-collection branch channel 53c1 and the common-supply branch channel 52b is identical to the channel resistance R of other bypass channels 73. The common-collection branch channel 53c1 communicates with the bypass channel 73F.
As illustrated in
The head 1 according to the second embodiment increases not only the channel resistance of the bypass channel 73F but also the channel resistance of the bypass channel 73S as illustrated in
Next, the head 1 according to a third embodiment of the present disclosure is described with reference to
The plurality of common-collection branch channel 53 includes three types of common-collection branch channels 53a, 53b, and 53c having different channel lengths from an end closest to the collection port 82 from which the liquid is discharged outside the head 1 in the array direction D2 of the common-supply branch channels 52 and the common-collection branch channels 53.
A channel length of the common-collection branch channel 53 is shorter in an order of the common-collection branch channel 53a (shortest), 53b (next shortest), and 53c (longest).
In the head 1 according to the third embodiment, the channel lengths of two common-collection branch channels 53a and 53b are different. Two common-collection branch channels 53a and 53b are disposed on both sides of the common-supply branch channel 52c1 in the array direction D2 of the branch channels including the common-supply branch channels 52 and the common-collection branch channels 53.
Thus, the common-collection branch channel 53a (first common-collection branch channel) has the shortest channel length among the plurality of common-collection branch channels 53, and the common-collection branch channel 53a is disposed at another end (right end in
Thus, a channel resistance of the bypass channel 74 (referred to as “bypass channel 74F”) communicating with the common-collection branch channel 53a having a short channel length is made higher than a channel resistance of the bypass channel 74 communicating with the common-collection branch channel 53b having a longer channel length than the common-collection branch channel 53a.
Thus, the head 1 in the third embodiment includes the bypass channel 74F communicating with the common-collection branch channel 53a with which the nozzles 11 having a nozzle number N END1 and N END2 in
Thus, the head 1 can reduce variations in the discharge characteristics as in the above-described first embodiment.
Next, the head 1 according to a fourth embodiment of the present disclosure is described with reference to
The plurality of common-collection branch channel 53 includes three types of common-collection branch channels 53a, 53b, and 53c having different channel lengths from an end closest to the collection port 82 from which the liquid is discharged outside the head 1 in the array direction D2 of the common-supply branch channels 52 and the common-collection branch channels 53.
A channel length of the common-collection branch channel 53 is shorter in an order of the common-collection branch channel 53a (shortest), 53b (next shortest), and 53c (longest).
In the head 1 according to the fourth embodiment, the channel lengths of two common-collection branch channels 53b and 53c are different. Two common-collection branch channels 53b and 53c are disposed on both sides of the common-supply branch channel 52c2 in the array direction D2 of the branch channels including the common-supply branch channels 52 and the common-collection branch channels 53.
Thus, a channel resistance of the bypass channel 74 (referred to as “bypass channel 74S”) communicating with the common-collection branch channel 53b having a short channel length is made higher than a channel resistance of the bypass channel 74 communicating with the common-collection branch channel 53c having a longer channel length than the common-collection branch channel 53b.
Thus, the head 1 in the fourth embodiment includes the bypass channel 74F communicating with the common-collection branch channel 53b with which the nozzles 11 having a nozzle number N END8 in
Further, the head 1 according to the first embodiment may be combined with the head 1 according to the third embodiment or the fourth embodiment. Further, the head 1 according to the second embodiment may be combined with the head 1 according to the third embodiment or the fourth embodiment.
The head module 100 includes a plurality of (here, eight) heads 1 (liquid discharge heads) on a base 110. The head 1 is configured to discharge a liquid. The head module 100 further includes a submodule 101 to which a cover 113 serving as a nozzle cover for a plurality of heads 1 is attached.

The printing device 505 discharge a liquid onto the sheet P to form an image on the sheet P as a printing process. The drying device 507 dries the sheet P on which an image is formed by the printing device 505. The ejection device 509 ejects the sheet P conveyed from the drying device 507.
The sheet P is fed from a winding roller 511 of the loading device 501, guided and conveyed with rollers of the loading device 501, the guide conveyor 503, the drying device 507, and the ejection device 509, and wound around a take-up roller 591 of the ejection device 509.
In the printing device 505, the sheet P is conveyed opposite the head unit 550 on a conveyance guide. The head unit 550 discharges a liquid from the nozzles 11 of the heads 1 to form an image on the sheet P.
Here, the head unit 550 includes two head modules 100A and 100B on a common base member 552 (see

The head arrays 1D1 and 1D2 of the head module 100B are grouped as one set to discharge liquid of the same desired color.
In the present embodiments, a “liquid” discharged from the head is not particularly limited as long as the liquid has a viscosity and surface tension of degrees dischargeable from the head.
However, preferably, the viscosity of the liquid is not greater than 30 mPa·s under ordinary temperature and ordinary pressure or by heating or cooling.

The term “liquid discharge apparatus” used herein also represents an apparatus including the head, the liquid discharge device, the head module, and the liquid discharge device to discharge liquid by driving the head. The liquid discharge apparatus may be, for example, an apparatus capable of discharging liquid to a material to which liquid can adhere or an apparatus to discharge liquid toward gas or into liquid.
The “liquid discharge apparatus” may include units to feed, convey, and eject the material on which liquid can adhere. The liquid discharge apparatus may further include a pretreatment apparatus to coat a treatment liquid onto the material, and a post-treatment apparatus to coat a treatment liquid onto the material, onto which the liquid has been discharged.
The “liquid discharge apparatus” may be, for example, an image forming apparatus to form an image on a sheet by discharging ink, or a three-dimensional fabrication apparatus to discharge a fabrication liquid to a powder layer in which powder material is formed in layers to form a three-dimensional fabrication object.
The “liquid discharge apparatus” is not limited to an apparatus to discharge liquid to visualize meaningful images, such as letters or figures.
For example, the liquid discharge apparatus may be an apparatus to form arbitrary images, such as arbitrary patterns, or fabricate three-dimensional images.
The above-described term “material on which liquid can adhere” represents a material on which liquid is at least temporarily adhered, a material on which liquid is adhered and fixed, or a material into which liquid is adhered to permeate.
