Abstract
According to one embodiment, an inkjet head includes a mask part which covers a periphery of an actuator part in a state where a nozzle hole is exposed to outside and a peripheral edge part of which is opposite to an opening peripheral edge part of a frame part at other end while a gap is kept, and the gap between the peripheral edge part of the mask part and the opening peripheral edge part of the frame part at the other end is sealed with a seal agent having thermal insulation properties.
Claims10
An inkjet head comprising:
- a frame part including a side wall used also as a thermal radiation part;
- an ink supply pipe to supply ink into an inside from an opening of the frame part at one end;
- an actuator part which is provided at an opening of the frame part at the other end and includes a piezoelectric element to eject ink from a nozzle hole of an ink chamber facing outside in response to an external signal;
- a drive IC which is in heat transfer contact with an inner surface of the side wall and drives the piezoelectric element;
- a mask part which covers a periphery of the actuator part in a state where the nozzle hole is exposed to the outside and a peripheral edge part of which is opposite to an opening peripheral edge part of the frame part at the other end while a gap is kept;
- and
- a seal agent which seals the gap of the mask part and has thermal insulation properties.
