Zusammenfassung: | To reduce the impact position shift at the joint of heads.SOLUTION: A head array comprises two heads 1A, 1B arranged in a longitudinal direction while being offset in a direction orthogonal to the longitudinal direction. The head 1 comprises a plurality of pressure chambers 21 communicating with a plurality of nozzles 11, a plurality of common supply flow path branches 52 communicating with the plurality of pressure chambers 21, a common supply flow path main stream 56 communicating with the plurality of common supply flow path branches 51, a plurality of common recovery flow path branches 53 communicating with the plurality of pressure chambers 21, and a common recovery flow path main stream 57 communicating with the plurality of common recovery flow path branches 53. A supply port 81 for supplying a liquid from the outside is arranged at one end of the common supply flow path main stream 56. A recovery port 82 for recovering the liquid to the outside is arranged at one end of the common recovery flow path main stream 57. In the longitudinal direction, the supply port 81 and the recovery port 82 are located on the same side. In the two heads 1A, 1B, the liquid flows in the common supply flow path branch 52 and the common recovery flow path branch 53 are opposite directions to one another.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 4
【課題】ヘッドのつなぎ目における着弾位置ずれを低減する。【解決手段】長手方向と直交する方向に位置をずらして、長手方向に並べられた2つのヘッド1A、1Bを備え、ヘッド1は、複数のノズル11に各々連通する複数の圧力室21と、複数の圧力室21に連通する複数の共通供給流路支流52と、複数の共通供給流路支流51に連通する共通供給流路本流56と、複数の圧力室21に連通する複数の共通回収流路支流53と、複数の共通回収流路支流53に連通する共通回収流路本流57とを備え、共通供給流路本流56の一端部に外部から液体を供給する供給ポート81が配置され、共通回収流路本流57の一端部に外部に液体を回収する回収ポート82が配置され、長手方向において、供給ポート81及び回収ポート82が同じ側に位置し、2つのヘッド1A、1Bは、共通供給流路支流52及び共通回収流路支流53における液体の流れが逆方向である。【選択図】図4 |
