The structure of a conventional inkjet head disclosed in Japanese Patent Publication No. 60-8955 and the like includes a nozzle forming member 101 having a plurality of nozzle openings 100 arranged in the thickness direction of the paper, as shown in FIG. It is equipped with a vibrating body 102 which is placed behind and comes into direct contact with the ink. A piezoelectric material is used as the vibrating body. In such an inkjet head, when the vibrating body 102 is displaced in the normal direction of the nozzle forming member 1010, it vibrates.The ink flow path between each nozzle opening 100 communicates over a short distance, thereby improving the ink droplet ejection efficiency. It has a high stability and is characterized by being able to maintain normal operation without being affected by foreign matter such as air bubbles or dust mixed into the ink.

However, in the conventional inkjet head, only a small displacement occurs due to the characteristics of the vibrating body 102, and ink is ejected by this displacement, so that the energy found in the ink droplet 105 is small. Therefore, in order to obtain predetermined ejection characteristics, it is necessary to precisely set the distance from the nozzle forming member 101 to the vibrating body 102, resulting in low productivity (and unstable ink ejection characteristics).

The amount of displacement between the permanent magnet 12 and the return spring 11 can be set arbitrarily by adjusting the drive voltage applied to the electromagnetic coil 15, the weight of the permanent magnet 12, and the spring force of the return spring 11. In addition, the spring force of the return spring 11 that restrains the permanent magnet 12 and the return spring 11 during displacement in the ink may be small enough to return the permanent magnet 12. The amount of displacement 11 can be easily set to an appropriate amount sufficient to eject ink and can be taken out. Therefore, the distance to the nozzle forming member 17 to obtain the necessary ejection characteristics is
The range of allowable values for L (see Figure 2) is wide (therefore,

According to the present invention, the amount of displacement of the permanent magnet and the return spring can be easily set by adjusting the weight of the permanent magnet and the return spring, so there is a high degree of freedom in design (and a very small drive voltage is required for ink ejection). Since it is possible to obtain a displacement between the permanent magnet and the return spring, it is possible to provide an inkjet head with good energy efficiency.In addition, the displacement between the permanent magnet and the return spring is sufficiently large compared to the conventional structure. Ink droplets are ejected.For this reason, in the conventional structure, it was necessary to precisely set the distance from the nozzle forming member to the vibrating body, but according to the present invention, the distance from the nozzle forming member to the electromagnetic coil has to be precisely set. The control limit value can be set to a large value. Therefore, a head with high yield and good productivity can be obtained, and good ink droplet ejection characteristics can be obtained.
