Abstract
A liquid discharge head unit includes: a liquid discharge head to discharge a liquid in a discharge direction; a support supporting the liquid discharge head; and a coupler to couple the liquid discharge head to the support. The support has an opening into which at least a discharge side of the liquid discharge head is insertable in the discharge direction, the coupler includes: a first contact contacting the liquid discharge head inserted into the opening; and a second contact contacting the support, and the first contact and the second contact are disposed at different positions in the discharge direction.
Claims19
A liquid discharge head unit comprising:
- a liquid discharge head to discharge a liquid in a discharge direction;
- a support supporting the liquid discharge head;
- and
- a coupler to couple the liquid discharge head to the support,
- wherein the support has an opening into which at least a discharge side of the liquid discharge head is insertable in the discharge direction,
- the coupler includes:
- a first contact contacting the liquid discharge head inserted into the opening;
- and
- a second contact contacting the support, and
- the first contact and the second contact are disposed at different positions in the discharge direction.
A liquid discharge head unit comprising:
- a liquid discharge head having a nozzle face having nozzles to discharge a liquid in a discharge direction;
- a support supporting the liquid discharge head;
- a coupler to couple the liquid discharge head to the support;
- and
- a height adjuster,
- wherein the support has an opening into which at least a discharge side of the liquid discharge head is insertable in the discharge direction,
- the height adjuster has a first inclined surface inclined relative to the nozzle face,
- the height adjuster is interposed between at least one of:
- the coupler and the liquid discharge head in the discharge direction;
- or
- the coupler and the support in the discharge direction,
- the coupler has a second inclined surface contacting the first inclined surface of the height adjuster, and
- the height adjuster is movable in a longitudinal direction, orthogonal to the discharge direction, parallel to the nozzle face to adjust a height of the liquid discharge head.
A liquid discharge head unit comprising:
- a liquid discharge head having a nozzle face having nozzles to discharge a liquid in a discharge direction;
- a support supporting the liquid discharge head;
- and
- a height adjuster disposed between the liquid discharge head and the support,
- wherein the support has an opening into which at least a discharge side of the liquid discharge head is insertable in the discharge direction,
- at least one of the liquid discharge head and the support has a first inclined surface inclined relative to the nozzle face,
- the height adjuster has a second inclined surface in contact with the second inclined surface of the at least one of the liquid discharge head and the support, and
- the height adjuster is movable in a longitudinal direction, orthogonal to the discharge direction and intersecting the second inclined surface.
