LIQUID DISCHARGE HEAD AND DEVICE FOR DISCHARGING LIQUID

To provide a liquid discharge head which receives impact from the outside in a region with high rigidity, and thereby alleviates impact transmitted to a region with low rigidity and can suppress generation of damage and defect of an internal component.SOLUTION: The liquid discharge head discharging a liquid from a nozzle includes a nozzle surface 3a formed with a nozzle, a pressure generating element 11 generating a pressure discharging a liquid from the nozzle, a frame member 10 surrounding the pressure generating element 11, and a protective member 20 joined to an outer surface of the liquid discharge head, in which the protective member 20 has a region overlapping the pressure generating element 11 in a transverse direction of the liquid discharge head, and has a spacing 21 with the frame member 10 in at least a part of the region overlapping the pressure generating element 11.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 4 【課題】外部からの衝撃を剛性の高い領域で受けることにより、剛性の低い領域に伝わる衝撃を緩和し、内部部品の破損や不具合の発生を抑制可能な液体吐出ヘッドを提供する。【解決手段】ノズルから液体を吐出する液体吐出ヘッドであって、ノズルが形成されたノズル面３ａと、ノズルから液体を吐出する圧力を発生させる圧力発生素子１１と、圧力発生素子１１を囲うフレーム部材１０と、液体吐出ヘッドの外面に接合される保護部材２０と、を備え、保護部材２０は、液体吐出ヘッドの短手方向において圧力発生素子１１と重なる領域を有し、かつ圧力発生素子１１と重なる領域の少なくとも一部において、フレーム部材１０との間に隙間２１を有する。【選択図】図４
