  • Publication number: 20180326723
    Abstract: The present invention provides a liquid ejecting head in which a chip crack is unlikely to occur. To achieve this, a liquid ejecting head includes an element substrate having energy generating elements arranged on the front face of the element substrate in its longitudinal direction and a channel member having ejection ports formed to correspond to the energy generating elements, respectively. In the element substrate, a supply port for supplying liquid is formed so as to pierce through from a back face to a front face of the element substrate, and inside the supply port, a beam is formed at a position closer to an end of the supply port rather than a center thereof in its longitudinal direction to connect facing inner walls of the supply port in its lateral direction.

  • Patent number: 10071512
    Abstract: Provided is a method for manufacturing a liquid-ejecting head whereby in die slide injection molding it is possible to stably inject resin in secondary molding without damaging the shapes of parts that were formed in primary molding. In order for that, in the connecting section in which a convex section of a cover member is inserted into an opening of a liquid-supply member, the closest distance to the opening in the area where secondary resin is injected is made larger than the gap between the opening and the convex section. As a result, the resin is prevented from flowing into a liquid path during the secondary molding.

  • Publication number: 20180001527
    Abstract: A resin molding method includes a first molding step of molding a first molded part and a second molded part in a mold and a second molding step of joining the first molded part and the second molded part. In the first molding step, the second molded part is formed by injecting resin into an area where a first core movable in the first direction and a second core movable in a second direction are engaged. In the second molding step, the second molded part is joined to the first molded part by injecting the resin while the first core is in contact with the second molded part and the second core is removed from the second molded part. Areas where the first core and the second core are located in the first molding step become hollow areas connected to each other and part of ends of the first core in the first direction is not in contact with the second core.
