<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a liquid droplet ejection device which is configured to prevent the sedimentation of dispersed particles such as pigments in a channel from an ink cartridge to an ejection head. <P>SOLUTION: The liquid droplet ejection device includes: a storage part in which liquid is stored; an ejection head which ejects the liquid; and a channel part through which the liquid moves from the storage part to the ejection head. The channel part includes: a container which allows the liquid to flow in and flow out; a channel body which couples the storage part, the container and the ejection head to make them communicate with each other; a rocking means which rocks the container; and a plurality of stirrers which are accommodated in the container and stir the liquid. A partition part, which forms a movable range of the stirrer and in which a liquid channel is secured, is formed inside the container. The stirrers are accommodated in a plurality of movable ranges. By such constitution, the stirrers existing over the entire channel part are rocked by slight rocking. Thus, a means, which suppresses the sedimentation of the dispersed particles in a long channel and maintains the dispersion to be uniform in a fixed range, is easily provided. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT |
