Abstract
There are provided a head chip, a liquid jet head, and a liquid jet recording device each capable of ensuring an electrical reliability, and enhancing the durability. The head chip according to an aspect of the present disclosure includes an actuator plate having ejection channels and non-ejection channels extending in a Z direction and arranged alternately in an X direction, and a nozzle plate which has nozzle holes respectively communicated with the ejection channels, and faces the actuator plate. The non-ejection channels are terminated at positions separated from a lower end surface of the actuator plate. The ejection channels open on a lower end surface of the actuator plate.
Claims8
A head chip comprising:
- an actuator plate in which a jet channel extending in a first direction and a non-jet channel extending in the first direction are arranged alternately in a second direction crossing the first direction;
- a jet orifice plate which has a jet orifice communicated with the jet channel, and faces the actuator plate, wherein:
- the actuator plate comprises a blocking part disposed between the non-jet channel and the jet orifice plate, the blocking part and the actuator plate being formed as one piece,
- the non-jet channel is terminated at a position separated from an opposed surface to the jet orifice plate in the actuator plate, and
- the jet channel opens on the opposed surface;
- and
- a flow channel member overlapped in a thickness direction crossing the second direction viewed from the first direction in the actuator plate, wherein:
- the opposed surface is a surface of the actuator plate which faces to the first direction, and
- the flow channel member includes
- a circulation channel which is provided to a portion located between the non-jet channel and the opposed surface in the first direction, and is individually communicated with the jet channel,
- an entrance flow channel which is provided to a portion located at an opposite side to the opposed surface in the first direction with respect to the circulation channel, and is communicated with the jet channel, and
- an exit flow channel communicated with a plurality of circulation channels.
A head chip comprising:
- an actuator plate in which a jet channel extending in a first direction and a non-jet channel extending in the first direction are arranged alternately in a second direction crossing the first direction;
- a jet orifice plate which has a jet orifice communicated with the jet channel, and faces the actuator plate, wherein:
- the non-jet channel is terminated at a position separated from an opposed surface to the jet orifice plate in the actuator plate, and
- the jet channel opens on the opposed surface;
- and
- wherein an end surface of the non-jet channel at the opposed surface side includes:
- a first inclined surface extending in a direction of getting away from the opposed surface in the first direction as getting away from a first surface facing to a thickness direction crossing the second direction viewed from the first direction, in the actuator plate, and
- a second inclined surface which gets away from the opposed surface in the first direction as getting away from a second surface located oppositely to the first surface in the thickness direction, in the actuator plate, and connects to the first inclined surface.
