On the other hand, force application part S2 is arranged between compression plate 48 (movable part 462) and valve seat 54, and to compression plate 48 exert a force.Fig. 3 is the structure chart of force application part S2.As shown in figure 3, the force application part S2 of first embodiment is by first The shape that part S2-1, second part S2-2, Part III S2-3 link along central axis.First part S2-1 be with by The columnar part that pressing plate 48 abuts.Positioned at the cylinder of 54 side of valve seat when second part S2-2 is from first part S2-1 The part of shape.In the first embodiment, the end in force application part S2 with first part S2-1 opposite side is set as Two part S2-2.Part III S2-3 is between first part S2-1 and second part S2-2.First part S2-1, second The respective length of S2-2, Part III S2-3 is divided to be arbitrary.
As can be seen from FIG. 3, the diameter DA1 of first part S2-1 is greater than the diameter DA2 of second part S2-2.Diameter DA1 is The average diameter of the outer diameter of first part S2-1, diameter DA2 are the average diameter of the outer diameter of second part S2-2.First embodiment party The diameter DA1 of first part S2-1 in formula bridge across the overall length of first part S2-1 and be it is approximately fixed, second part S2-2's Diameter DA2 bridgees across the overall length of second part S2-2 and is approximately fixed.The diameter DA1 of the first part S2-1 of first embodiment Greater than the maximum dimension D B of valve body 52, the diameter DA2 of second part S2-2 is less than the maximum dimension D B of valve body 52 and in force section It is minimum in the overall length of part S2.The maximum dimension D B of valve body 52 refers to, as illustrated in fig. 2, is arranged on the surface of base portion 62 Circular sealing 64 outer diameter.
As illustrated in fig. 2, first part S2-1 and the surface (surface with 46 opposite side of seal) of compression plate 48 are supported It connects.On the surface of compression plate 48, it is formed with the circular protrusion 50 from the surface to 54 lateral process of valve seat.First S2-1 is divided to abut at the inside of protrusion 50 with the surface of compression plate 48.The internal diameter of protrusion 50 is greater than first part S2-1's Diameter DA1.Therefore, gap is formed between the inner wall of protrusion 50 and the outer peripheral surface of first part S2-1.According to above Structure, even if producing error in the position for the supporting mass 42 being fixed on seal 46 by deposition or bonding In the case of, first part S2-1 and the surface of compression plate 48 can also abutted.
The diameter DA2 of second part S2-2 and the outer diameter for the tubular portion 56 being arranged on valve seat 54 are roughly equal.Therefore, In the state that the inner peripheral surface of second part S2-2 is mutually close to the outer peripheral surface of tubular portion 56, second part S2-2 and tubular portion The 56 chimeric and side second part S2-2 of force application part S2 ends can be equipped with force application part S2's with valve seat 54 Surface (hereinafter referred to as " setting face ") 58 abuts.It is chimeric with tubular portion 56 by second part S2-2, thus force application part S2 It is fixed on valve seat 54.
The diameter of the Part III S2-3 of first embodiment monotone decreasing from first part S2-1 to second part S2-2 It is few.Specifically, the diameter of Part III S2-3 is from the end of the side first part S2-1 in Part III S2-3 to third The end of the side second part S2-2 in the S2-3 of part and reduced with fixed ratio.That is, Part III S2-3 is circular cone shape Part.In addition, as it was noted above, the respective length of first part S2-1 and second part S2-2 is arbitrary, such as The amount of one circle of the metal wire of disc spring (force application part S2) can be set as first part S2-1 or second part S2-2.Therefore, Also it can be set by the whole shape of first part S2-1, second part S2-2, Part III S2-3 the force application part S2 constituted For truncated cone shape.
In above structure, due to the usual state being maintained in the pressure in second space R2 in predetermined range Under, exert a force to valve body 52 by force application part S1 is tightly attached to sealing 64 on the surface of valve seat 54 and is pressed, because This is maintained valve body 52 and carries out closed state (hereinafter referred to as " closed state ") to the intercommunicating pore H of valve seat 54.That is, first is empty Between R1 and second space R2 be truncated.On the other hand, when the injection of the ink because for example being implemented by liquid ejecting head 34 or Lai When causing the pressure in second space R2 to decline from external suction, the movable part 462 of seal 46 is carried out to 54 side of valve seat Displacement, so that the compression plate 48 being arranged on movable part 462 overcomes by force that force application part S2 is implemented and to valve body 52 Valve shaft 66 pressed.That is, movable part 462 is as the diaphragm being displaced according to the pressure (negative pressure) in second space R2 And it functions.When the pressure in second space R2 further declines, pressed by valve shaft 66 by movable part 462 (compression plate 48) It presses and valve body 52 is made to overcome the force of force application part S1 and be moved to the negative side in the direction W (44 side of seal), thus to close State (hereinafter referred to as " the open state ") transfer that envelope portion 64 is left from valve seat 54.Under open state, the intercommunicating pore H quilt of valve seat 54 It is open, so that the first space R1 and second space R2 is interconnected via intercommunicating pore H.From the above description, valve body 52 in a manner of deformation (the should be displacement) linkage with seal 46 (movable part 462) and to the first space R1 and second space R2 Between opening and closing (circulation/truncation of ink) controlled.
In addition, by force application part S2 be set as bridgeing across overall length and diameter it is smaller (be, for example, less than the maximum gauge of valve body 52 The diameter of DB) structure (hereinafter referred to as " comparative example ") in, due to by the pressing from compression plate 48 to force application part S2 may buckle.When force application part S2 buckles, compression plate 48 and valve body 52 (valve shaft 66) become relative to the direction W and Inclined posture.Therefore, it does not buckle with force application part S2 and desired situation that valve body 52 and the direction W are moved parallel to It compares, the area (flow passage resistance force of waterproof) in the gap between the outer peripheral surface of the valve shaft 66 of the inner peripheral surface and valve body 52 of intercommunicating pore H can occur It changes.As described above, when generating deviation on the flow passage resistance force of waterproof in intercommunicating pore H, when being opened and closed due to intercommunicating pore H the Negative pressure in two space R2 can change, therefore have the pressure of the ink supplied from second space R2 to liquid ejecting head 34 Upper generation error, so from liquid ejecting head 34 spray ink amount (size of point) on also generate error the problems such as.
The diameter DA1 of vs comparative examples, structure according to first embodiment, the first part S2-1 of force application part S2 is big In the diameter DA2 of second part S2-2.Therefore, the diameter equal with the overall length of force application part S2 is set as same second part S2-2 The comparative example of DA2 is compared, and can be reduced the pressing that reason compression plate 48 is implemented when compression plate 48 is acted and be made force section A possibility that part S2 buckles.Due to passing through the stream for carrying out inhibiting to prevent intercommunicating pore H of buckling to force application part S2 The variation of road resistance, therefore have the following advantages that, that is, the error quilt of the pressure of second space R2 when intercommunicating pore H is opened and closed It reduces, and then can reduce the error of the amount of the ink sprayed from liquid ejecting head 34.
In the first embodiment, especially, the diameter of force application part S2 is from first part S2-1 to second part S2-2 And dull reduction.Therefore, with from first part S2-1 to second part S2-2 and the diameter of force application part S2 had both increased or had reduced Structure compare, have the advantages that simplify the structure of force application part S2 etc., and having makes the manufacture of force application part S2 become to hold Easily equal advantage.Further, since the diameter DA1 of first part S2-1 be greater than valve body 52 maximum dimension D B, therefore with first The structure for the maximum dimension D B for dividing the diameter DA1 of S2-1 to be less than valve body 52 is compared, and force application part S2 can be further increased by having Stability the advantages of.
