Flow path member, liquid ejecting head and liquid ejecting apparatus

摘要

The invention is to provide a liquid ejecting head including a flow path member which allows a capacity of an air bubble chamber to be increased as much as possible and in which a filter is not clogged even when the variation of a liquid consumption amount is large, and a liquid ejecting apparatus including the flow path member. Alternatively, the invention is to provide a liquid ejecting head including a flow path member which allows a capacity of an air bubble chamber to be increased as much as possible while being miniaturized in a transporting direction and a liquid ejecting apparatus including the flow path member.

主权项

1. A liquid ejecting head comprising:
a head main body that ejects an ink droplet from a nozzle group having nozzle openings of which positions on a liquid ejecting surface are different from each other in a first direction; a flow path member that includes a flow path which supplies a liquid to the head main body, a filter which is provided in the middle of the flow path, a filter chamber which is formed of an upstream filter chamber on a upstream side and a downstream filter chamber on a downstream side of the filter and accommodates the filter, and an air bubble chamber which communicates with the filter chamber on the upstream side and stores air bubbles removed by the filter; a first nozzle group and a second nozzle group of which positions on the liquid ejecting surface in a second direction orthogonal to the first direction are different from each other, and the positions are overlapped with each other at least in a portion in the first direction; and a branched flow path in which the flow path of the flow path member is branched in the middle of the path and then communicates with the first nozzle group and the second nozzle group, wherein the air bubble chamber is provided for each branched flow path.
