Then, the embodiment to the record head 2 in the above-mentioned printer 1 describes.Fig. 6 is the major part vertical view that the balancing gate pit forms substrate 27, and Fig. 7 is the Y-Y line cutaway view of channel unit 18, and Fig. 8 is the figure of the configuration relation of each nozzle sets of explanation.As shown in Figure 6, constitute a nozzle cage group 33 by two adjacent nozzle openings 15, each nozzle opening 15 that constitutes this nozzle cage group 33 is arranged along sub scanning direction.Each nozzle cage group 33 in the same nozzle sets as shown in Figure 8, for example be provided on the sub scanning direction with the prescribed distance P corresponding to 180dpi, (n: natural number) arrange by spacing with the P/n less than prescribed distance P for each nozzle opening 15 of formation nozzle cage group 33.In the present embodiment, each nozzle opening 15 is spacing (nozzle cage group row are provided with direction) upward arrangement side by side on sub scanning direction of P/4 with for example 720dpi.In addition, at nozzle cage group row the state that direction (being sub scanning direction in the present embodiment) goes up relativity shift to be set, each nozzle cage group 33 of a nozzle sets A and each nozzle cage group 33 of another nozzle sets B in the configuration adjacent nozzles group.More specifically say, for example become the mode of 360dpi, promptly become 1/2 the mode of the configuration space P of the nozzle cage group 33 in the same nozzle sets according to the side-play amount of a nozzle sets A and another nozzle sets B, on nozzle plate 28, be configured to each nozzle sets staggered.Therefore, each nozzle opening 15 of each nozzle cage group 33 is observed with 720dpi (P/4) on sub scanning direction and is arranged.
If so constitute, even if under the situation of the width of the sub scanning direction that can't generate pressure generating chamber 26 or piezoelectric vibrator 20 for the situation on making lessly, promptly can't on sub scanning direction (nozzle cage group row are provided with direction), equally spaced dispose under the situation of a nozzle cage group 33 in the nozzle sets with less spacing (high density), only make the injecting time in the main scanning different with another nozzle sets B by a nozzle sets A, scanning times (path) is increased, can on sub scanning direction on the sub scanning direction, will put arrangement point-blank with certain interval (being 720dpi in the present embodiment).Its result has and helps improve writing speed.
As shown in Figure 7, the island portion 42 of oscillating plate 29 is provided with pressure generating chamber 26 relative nozzle cage groups 33 one to one with the piezoelectric vibrator 20 of executing agency 17.The adjacent nozzles opening 15 of formation nozzle cage group 33 overlaps 26 configurations one of a pressure generating chamber each other.Each pressure generating chamber 26 corresponding with this nozzle cage group 33 is divided wall 54 each other as shown in Figure 7 and divides.So, with each pressure generating chamber 26 corresponding nozzle cage group 33 that dispose the group that becomes a plurality of nozzle openings 15, there is no need thus shown in the past, a nozzle opening 15 to be provided with pressure generating chamber 26 one to one.That is, in the nozzle sets that the nozzle opening 15 by same number constitutes, with make pressure generating chamber and nozzle opening one to one in the past structure compare, can reduce number (reducing half) with the corresponding pressure of these nozzle openings 15 generating chamber 26.Perhaps, about nozzle sets, can under the situation of the number that does not increase piezoelectric vibrator 20 or pressure generating chamber 26, increase the number (multiplication) of nozzle opening 15.In the present embodiment, a nozzle sets is made of 360 nozzle openings 15, and is relative therewith, the pressure generating chamber corresponding 26 with these nozzle openings 15 by it half promptly 180 constitute.Thus, compare, can thicken the division wall 54 that each pressure generating chamber 26 is divided with the structure in the past that pressure generating chamber 26 is set with the identical quantity of the number of nozzle opening 15.Its result can make the rigidity of dividing wall 54 than in the past structure height, can prevent the influence of the pressure wave that is produced by injection action of each adjacent pressure generating chamber 26.Thus, can prevent to crosstalk, make spray characteristic stable.
In addition, as shown in Figure 5, the record head 2 that utilizes said structure by flexible cable 22 when piezoelectric vibrator 20 provides injection pulse, at first piezoelectric vibrator 20 is shunk on the leement duration direction by expansion key element p1, island portion 42 displacement on away from the direction of pressure generating chamber 26, thus the pressure generating chamber 26 of driven object from the benchmark cubical expansion corresponding with intermediate potential VM to the allowance for expansion corresponding with maximum potential VH.By the expansion of this pressure generating chamber 26, in each pressure generating chamber 26, provide black liquid by black liquid supply port 31 from reservoir 30 sides.In addition, the swelling state of this pressure generating chamber 26 can only be kept during the supply that keeps key element p2 of expanding.
Subsequently, provide and spray key element p3 and piezoelectric vibrator 20 elongations, island portion 42 is to the direction displacement near pressure generating chamber 26.Thus, pressure generating chamber 26 sharply shrinks to the retraction volume corresponding with potential minimum VL from allowance for expansion.By the contraction of pressure generating chamber 26,, eject black drop simultaneously from each nozzle opening 15 of the nozzle cage group 33 corresponding with driven object pressure generating chamber 26 to the black liquid pressurization of inside.The contraction state of pressure generating chamber 26 is kept during the supply that shrink to keep key element p4, during this since the interior pressure of the pressure generating chamber 26 that the injection of black drop reduces by its intrinsic vibration and rising once more.As one man provide vibration damping key element p5 with its rise time.By providing of this vibration damping key element p5, pressure generating chamber 26 expands and returns to the benchmark volume, and the black hydraulic coupling change in the pressure generating chamber 26 is absorbed.
But, as mentioned above, the unit picture element in the present embodiment is configured to 360dpi * 360dpi.Therefore, in order on record-paper, to form unit picture element, be necessary the whole square area of burying 70 μ m * 70 μ m with point.When utilization printer in the past forms unit picture element on record-paper, the point about the diameter 100 μ m that this zone forms and above-mentioned square is external.In addition, needed to consume the black liquid of more amount in order to form this point, so might produce distortion (concavo-convex) owing to the moisture that contains in the black liquid on record-paper, perhaps document image produces to ooze and spreads and sinks in the past.In addition,,, aspect operating cost, increased burden thus, in addition, also had problems aspect the viewpoint of environmental protection the user so need the frequent print cartridge of changing because the consumption of the black liquid in the print cartridge is fast.
In view of this point, utilize printer 1 of the present invention, can on record-paper, more effectively bury a little with ink amount still less.
Here, Figure 10 is the curve map of the relation of expression ink amount and spot diameter.As shown in the drawing, the curve map of representing the relation of ink amount and spot diameter as can be known is non-linear.In addition, the needed ink amount of point that forms diameter and be 100 μ m is 40pl, and is relative therewith, and half that the forms above-mentioned diameter i.e. needed ink amount of point of 50 μ m is not 20pl, and 5pl is enough.
Printer 1 of the present invention utilizes this point, in a record period T, at first by apply the first injection pulse P1 to piezoelectric vibrator 20, eject each 5pl of black drop simultaneously from each nozzle opening 15 with driven object pressure generating chamber 26 corresponding nozzle cage groups 33, shown in Fig. 9 (b), the state of on sub scanning direction, arranging with 720dpi, on record-paper, form the point of diameter 50 μ m, bury half (half of main scanning direction) zone of unit picture element by the combination (some key element d1) of these two points.Then,, similarly spray drop respectively, bury remaining half zone of unit picture element by the combination (some key element d2) of 2 points on sub scanning direction, arranging from each nozzle opening by apply the second injection pulse P2 to piezoelectric vibrator 20.That is, the unit picture element in the present embodiment is that black drop by 5pl forms and adds up to 4 points to constitute.
Therefore, in this structure, can form unit picture element with the ink amount of 5pl * 4=20pl.That is, can form unit picture element with half ink amount greater than structure in the past.In addition, can form a plurality of points with injection action once simultaneously, in the present embodiment, point on the sub scanning direction form density in view of outward appearance with do not use structure in the past of the present invention and be in a ratio of 2 times, so when the full version of the what is called in the regulation zone of seamlessly burying record-paper 6 with point writes down, can not cause the increase of the scanning times (path) of head.
Then, verify effect of the present invention from the concentration aspect of unit picture element.
The figure of the relation of the lettering concentration of Figure 11 ink amount that to be expression spray to unit picture element and this unit picture element.In the figure, the graphical representation of solid line is utilized the experimental result of structure of the present invention (making a plurality of nozzles structure corresponding with pressure generating chamber), and the graphical representation of dotted line is utilized the experimental result of structure (making the single nozzle structure corresponding with pressure generating chamber) in the past.As can be known as shown in the drawing, utilize structure in the past, the OD of the lettering concentration of unit of display pixel (Optical Density) value is shown linear function greatly along with the increase of spraying black liquid form increases, relative therewith, in structure of the present invention, with respect to the increase of spraying ink amount, the OD value increases with the form of logarithmic function.
That is, in the scope of the black liquid emitted dose that is seamlessly covering regulation zone until black liquid (point), for example shown in arrow X among Figure 11, the OD value when spraying the black liquid of same amount, structure of the present invention is greater than in the past structure.In addition, as can be known, about the emitted dose of the black liquid that is used to obtain identical OD value, compare with structure in the past shown in arrow Y, structure of the present invention only needs less amount just can finish.This be because, bury the regulation zone and compare with promptly putting with a black liquid, bury the black liquid of needs with a plurality of points and in wider scope, expand, the area coverage increase of black liquid.Therefore,, can be effectively bury the regulation zone of spraying on the object, be particularly suitable for forming the situation of image by the concentration gray scale that the depth by black liquid embodies gray scale with black liquid according to structure of the present invention.
So, about the printer 1 that carries above-mentioned record head 2, for being the nozzle cage group 33 of group with a plurality of nozzle openings adjacent on sub scanning direction 15, correspondence is provided with pressure generating chamber 26 one by one, spray black drop from each nozzle opening 15 of the nozzle cage group 33 corresponding simultaneously so can utilize once injection action (ejection action) with driven object pressure generating chamber 26, by the black drop that sprays from each nozzle opening 15, can be to be less than in the past ink amount effectively with putting the regulation zone of burying on the record-paper (injection object).Thus, can suppress the consumption of black liquid, bullet drops on the total amount of the black liquid on the record-paper in the time of promptly can suppressing document image etc., and its result can suppress the distortion or the oozing of document image of the record-paper that caused by the moisture that contains in the black liquid and spread and sink in.In addition, can suppress the consumption of black liquid, so can help the reduction or the environmental protection of operating cost.
In addition, in the present invention, about piezoelectric vibrator 20, there is no need change and form spacing, can directly quote the member in the structure in the past, so very easy, the size of each piezoelectric vibrator 20 is also with identical in the past, so displacement efficient can not reduce.
But, the present invention is not limited to above-mentioned embodiment, can carry out various distortion according to the scope record of technical scheme.
