Problems solved by technology

Since the substrate is not flexible, it does not provide any degree of freedom in terms of where the electrical contacts of the recording head are placed and in which direction they point
Therefore, this connection method is also prone to short circuit due to the aforementioned ink adhesion caused by ink mist when ink is ejected and ink adhesion caused by the recovery operation.

Abstract

A liquid ejection head for a liquid ejection recording apparatus, comprising: a casing; a recording element substrate having a recording element for generating energy for ejecting liquid in a predetermined direction in response to a drive electric signal, the liquid ejection head in Predetermined orientation can be mounted to the device; direct plug-in contact device has a plurality of electrical contacts for transmitting drive signals to the liquid ejection device, a rigid substrate on which the electrical contacts are formed; direct plug-in contact device The rigid substrate is supported by the housing, and is arranged to be separated from the housing by a gap therebetween so as to be relative to the housing; the liquid ejection head includes: a flexible cable for electrically connecting the direct plug-in contact device and the recording element substrate; sheet, the flexible cable is installed on one side of the housing, and for electrical connection with the contactor, bends and extends on the side of the direct plug-in contact device opposite to the side of the housing, so that the direct plug-in contact device can be The determined orientation is inserted into a connector provided in the device for electrical connection thereto.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a liquid ejection head for a liquid ejection recording apparatus, Background technique [0002] Currently, a so-called serial recording device is one of mainstream recording devices. It has one or more recording heads, and a carriage on which the recording heads are positioned. It records an image by reciprocating a carriage in a manner of scanning the recording medium in a direction perpendicular to the conveying direction of the recording medium. The reason for the popularity of this device is as follows. That is, the serial type recording apparatus can form an image using a recording head much smaller than the recording area, and thus can easily be reduced in size and cost. [0003] Even during carrier movement, serial recording devices require electrical connections to be maintained between the recording head on the carriage and the control components of the recording device's main assembly. Therefore, an electr...
