CA 2163369

In the embodiments of the simplified ink jet head described in the specification, a carbon body is formed with ink passages, such as internal passages (19, 21, 25) extending through a carbon plate (26), pressure chambers (2) on one side of a carbon plate (26), flow-through passages (24) on the other side of the same plate and ink supply passages (19, 25), and a piezoelectric plate (23) is affixed to the pressure chamber side of the carbon plate by a thin layer of epoxy adhesive. The piezoelectric plate (23) may have a conductive coating on one side which is photo-etched to produce an electrode pattern corresponding to the pattern of the pressure chambers in the carbon plate. An orifice plate (13) may have specially profiled orifice openings (12) to assure axial projection of drops and may be affixed by a thin layer of epoxy adhesive to a carbon plate (26) having orifice passages (21) supplying ink from the pressure chambers (20) to the orifices (12). Since the carbon plate is conductive, it can be used, if desired, as an electrode on the opposite side of the piezoelectric plate (23) and, to assure grounding of the piezoelectric plate, a conductive epoxy adhesive may be used to bond the piezoelectric plate to the carbon plate. Moreover, since the carbon plate is porous, it can provide a communication path (76) between a vacuum source (77) and an air-permeable, ink-impermeable layer (75) on the ink passages to remove dissolved air from the ink in the passages. In one alternative embodiment, an ink jet head assembly contains two separate carbon pressure chamber plates, a carbon manifold plate and a carbon collar to retain the carbon plates in an assembly, (Fig. 6)

Dans les différents modes de réalisation de la tête (10) à jet d'encre simplifiée décrite dans la spécification, un corps en carbone est conçu avec des passages pour l'encre, tels que des passages internes (19, 21, 25) traversant une plaque de carbone (26), des passages d'écoulement (24) de l'autre côté de la même plaque et ou des passages pour l'alimentation en encre (19, 25); une plaque piézoélectrique (23) est fixée du côté chambre de pression de la plaque de carbone au moyen d'une fine couche de matière adhésive époxy. Une plaque à orifices (13) peut présenter des ouvertures (12) spécialement profilées pour assurer une projection axiale des gouttes; elle peut être fixée par une fine couche de matière adhésive époxy à une plaque de carbone (26) pourvue de passages (21) pour l'acheminement de l'encre entre les chambres de pression (20) et les orifices (12).
