Abstract (en)

[origin: EP3636438A1] In order to alleviate imbalances in temperature in the pressure chambers inside of a head tip, this inkjet head is provided with multiple nozzles 111 which inject ink, pressure chambers 131 which communicate with each of the nozzles and in which ink is stored, a pressure generating means (the partition wall 136) which pressurizes the ink in the pressure chamber, individual ink discharge paths 121 which are provided branching from each of the pressure chambers and which can discharge the ink in said pressure chambers, and a common ink discharge path 133 which to which the individual ink discharge paths are linked. The nozzles and pressure chambers form rows R1 to R4 in a direction along two opposite outer surfaces DS of the head chip 1, and said rows are arranged side by side in a direction perpendicular to the outer surface. The common ink discharge path 133 is provided extending in a direction along the two outer surfaces. The common ink discharge path is arranged only in two outermost regions (D1+D2), which are near one outer surface and do not have the aforementioned rows R1-R4 interposed therebetween, and/or a center region D4 between the two outer surfaces.
